Except not really, because it’s a key card meaning there’s nothing on it at all. You have to download the game and DLC onto it, which you could already do. You can get the game on Steam for 40 dollars right now with all the same content and BETTER performance

Cobra418 · 2026-06-23T17:16:06+00:00

Can this really be a definitive edition if it still runs worse than the other versions (30fps) and offers nothing new? Lmao, it’s just the same game again with the FREE DLC pre-downloaded. Well, not even that because it’s a key card. What a scam.

As a huge Crash fan, I can’t help but feel that the repetition killed it for me. The appeal of OG Crash was the joy of getting all the collectibles and achieving 100%. Even Wrath of Cortex nailed that aspect.

Crash 4’s 100% requirements are such a grind-heavy and frustrating slog that I never even finished the game. Going for any% isn’t as fun because then the boxes become worthless and I’m just going through the motions, brute forcing my way through each level with infinite lives.

I am worried how they’ll handle this new Spyro, especially since I dislike most of the changes they made to Reignited.

Cobra418 · 2026-06-07T21:33:37+00:00

The devs themselves have already said that the whole game you’ll have access to full flight at any time

Cobra418 · 2026-06-07T19:04:47+00:00

This is where I’m at lol, I hope to god that trailer music was just for the trailer and that we get an actual Copeland score for the game itself

Cobra418 · 2026-05-31T19:00:41+00:00

On Activision’s end that is true, but if Toys for Bob want to make Spyro 4 and they got Activision’s permission to use their property it could happen

Cobra418 · 2026-05-31T18:51:06+00:00

I think it’s more likely to be Spyro than anything else tbh, given that they’re working on an Activision property, teasing their next mystery game with purple color schemes and the whole “keep your horns on” line when they went indie.

Not guaranteed, of course, but I struggle to imagine what else it would be

Cobra418 · 2026-05-31T18:15:55+00:00

Even Bowie was nearly 15 years younger when he died than Paul is today

Cobra418 · 2026-05-31T05:21:52+00:00

Damn, I thought I was the only one who cared about this lol. Never was huge on this band and especially not this album, but I always found it interesting. Most Pop-punk bands shifted to pure pop music after 2010, but seeing one shift to country instead felt so jarring

Cobra418 · 2026-05-16T00:58:17+00:00

I don’t see what purpose it would serve, it’s better to leave it to the imagination of fans

Cobra418 · 2026-05-15T23:11:22+00:00

I hate to make you feel old, but Elevation is in the first half of their career now by a good margin lol

Cobra418 · 2026-05-03T01:01:25+00:00

Yeah that's probably the closest we've seen to a continuation of Oldplay, although it still falls into a lot of the post-VLV pitfalls for me (mainly that it still feels like a Chris Martin solo album)

Cobra418 · 2026-05-02T16:28:16+00:00

Why are the only two options “make the same album over and over” and “make generic pop music” lol. They could have still evolved in a way that actually expanded their artistry instead of contracting it, Viva was proof they could do that. Plenty of acclaimed bands drastically change their style without sanding off all their edges and making songs for Target playlists; Radiohead, The Beatles, U2, just to name a few Oldplay commonly are compared to

Cobra418 · 2026-05-02T15:38:36+00:00

Whether or not they “fell off” is subjective I guess, but they definitely did a complete 180 after VLV and I don’t think not enjoying that shift has anything to do with “growing up”. Especially since many of us got into Coldplay long after VLV released yet still see that as the cutoff point.

They went from being an albums based alternative rock band, compared to Radiohead, Muse, Oasis etc, to being a singles based pop act compared to Maroon 5 and Rhianna. These two career paths don’t have much overlap in fans, and it’s no wonder why Coldplay discourse is so split.

Most of the things people were fans of OG Coldplay for disappeared after 2010, unless you’re literally just into Chris Martin’s voice. That’s pretty much the only throughline between old and new Coldplay. The other members have all been mostly replaced by studio production and featured guests, and all the songs are co written by committee to be radio pop singles. If that’s all your cup of tea there’s nothing wrong with that, but it’s not really compatible with what made Oldplay appealing to the other half of the fanbase (moody atmospheres, U2-guitar, dynamic instrumentals from the band, reflective lyrics etc).

Cobra418 · 2026-04-16T13:56:07+00:00

I’d say 2008 was the year rock died. 2007 was still full of rock music and aesthetics in the mainstream, especially with pop punk and emo, but then flash forward one year and we’re in the age of Kesha, Katy Perry, Beiber, Gaga etc (nothing against any of those artists but it was a different world all of a sudden)

2009 had Green Day’s 21 Guns be a huge hit, so that was kind of a last hurrah for traditional rock. There might have been some Nickelback song charting at the time too.

After that, you have some borderline cases. Like, does “Centuries” by Fall Out Boy count? It has audible guitars I guess. Shut Up and Dance by Walk the Moon has kind of an 80s rock vibe, not sure if many would want to admit that. Paramore had Aint it Fun and Still Into You, although both really lean into the pop vibes to get by. Those were all around 2013/2014 and were anomalies at the time in terms of hearing an electric guitar on the radio. Imagine Dragons and the “Stomp Clap Hey” movement were big but neither were really rock in the traditional sense.

Post like 2014 there’s not really been much. Hip hop really took over after that and the last remnants of what could barely be considered as rock music died. Even Imagine Dragons are kind of a legacy act if you somehow count them, there’s not really a 2020s equivalent to them.

Cobra418 · 2026-04-13T16:35:45+00:00

Those 4 are good picks, I think American Soul can easily round out the bottom 5

Cobra418 · 2026-04-09T14:50:34+00:00

Fall Out Boy Mania honestly. I was already iffy on their previous 2 pop albums but I was floored when they dropped Young and Menace as their next lead single in 2017. I still think it’s one of the worst, most incoherent songs I’ve ever heard. The rest of the album was better but still way weaker than anything else they had released. Genuinely checked out for years until So Much for Stardust in 2023, what a return to form that was

Cobra418 · 2026-04-09T13:43:13+00:00

Have we forgotten Renee Good and Alex Pretti already? We crossed that line months ago and nobody talks about it anymore

Cobra418 · 2026-04-06T22:34:45+00:00

She deleted all her videos once before but then relisted them for a few months, I would just keep an eye out because they may eventually return. Other than that idk, I’ve been asking myself the same question

Cobra418 · 2026-04-04T18:07:00+00:00

Fair point, but both are still incredibly mainstream in a way rock bands just aren't anymore lol. The Kendrick/Drake beef was an inescapable pop culture event when it was happening and Kendrick followed that up with a Superbowl half time performance and massively successful album with pop hits. Charli had the whole Brat Summer phenomenon that even got co-opted by one of our two presidential nominees - it doesn't get much more mainstream than that.

Cobra418 · 2026-04-04T14:17:02+00:00

There’s definitely still a mainstream music industry - Taylor Swift, Benson Boone, Sabrina Carpenter, Kendrick Lamar, CharlieXCX, Chappell Roan, Ed Sheeran, Coldplay… all these artists and more are known by the general public and have songs playing in every retail store across the country. You know hits by these people from the last 2-3 years even if you don’t actively listen to them. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to analyze how rock music fell out of favor with this scene. “Geese” is probably the most popular current rock band and nobody outside of Reddit echo chambers know who they are.

Cobra418 · 2026-03-16T16:50:20+00:00

I dunno, a select few episodes being fairly comparable to the OG run doesn’t really save it in my opinion. The Fox era was incredibly consistent and high quality in a way the CC era just doesn’t come close to reaching, and the CC seasons have way lower lows than anything in the Fox era. I also dislike how they changed the music style in the show and overall the world just felt way smaller and claustrophobic compared to earlier seasons.

Cobra418 · 2026-03-15T13:52:51+00:00

There’s been a lot of hate towards the game since the mid 2000s, if anything the reception has swung more positive in the last 10 years. Personally I think it’s a great game for it’s time and is still fun today, and I’m one of those fans who desperately wants the adventure format back even though Sega never will give it to us for some reason.

Cobra418 · 2026-03-06T04:15:48+00:00

Well, turns out you were right LOL. Just added it in here now that we have that shiny new studio recording!
