After rumors and leaks, Activision has finally confirmed a remastered version of the original three Spyro the Dragon games is coming. Among the improvements that Spyro Reignited Trilogy boasts are improved graphics, and along with a trailer, we’ve gotten some comparison screenshots that serve to highlight just how much better this new version looks.

Activision’s announcement states the Trilogy features “scaled-up HD graphics” where the more than 100 levels have been “mapped faithfully from the originals, only now re-imagined with modern mechanics to give fans an excellent gaming experience.” In terms of visuals, this is described as a “completely remastered” collection with “re-imagined cast of characters, brand-new lighting, animations, environments, and recreated cinematics.”

You can see for yourself in the images below just what that translates into. Spyro himself is much more detailed, but it’s the improvements to the environments themselves that stand out the most. It looks to be a major upgrade. You can also check out the announcement trailer above.

Spyro Reignited Trilogy releases for PS4 and Xbox One on September 21. That roughly coincides with the original release of the first Spyro, which debuted back in 1998. It consists of that original game, Spyro the Dragon, along with its two follow-ups: Spyro 2: Ripto’s Rage (Gateway to Glimmer in Europe and Australia) and Spyro: Year of the Dragon.

There’s a great Colt Cabana podcast interview with CM Punk where he discusses an argument he had with Triple H. After hearing that Punk was upset about not main eventing Wrestlemania 29, Triple H told Punk that he was in a main event with the Undertaker. Punk retorted by asking if he was getting paid the same amount as The Rock or John Cena. Triple H didn’t have a comeback for that.

The guy had a point. Marketing is one thing, but for all functional purposes, there is only one main event, and that’s the match which goes on last. Which leads one to ask: “Which of the matches on the card will main event Wrestlemania 34?”

It doesn’t matter from a practical standpoint; this isn’t boxing or MMA, where the fans with tickets find their seats ten minutes before the main event. WWE fans, both on the Network and at the Superdome, will be their seats to watch the whole show. But it does matter from a standpoint of principles. CM Punk considered his WWE career a failure because he never got to main event Wrestlemania. Reportedly, Vince McMahon put Mick Foley in the main event for Wrestlemania 2000 because he felt so bad for not having done so earlier.

The main event also demonstrates the company’s values: who is Vince McMahon relying on to headline and represent his product? For example, when WWE decided to close the Royal Rumble with the women’s battle royal in January, it was a massive deal. It put all the company’s lip service about the Women’s Evolution into action.

Here are the five matches that are most likely to main event Wrestlemania 34 and our opinion and analysis of each choice. Also, check out the updated match card and all of our predictions for April 8.

When Wrestlemania debuted in 1985, it was an high-profile experiment, far from the stadium-filling juggernaut that it is today. In fact, had the closed circuit television event failed, WWE may have gone bankrupt; there would be no Hulkamania, no Austin 3:16, and no Cena Nation. Fortunately for us, WWE’s blend of sports entertainment and celebrity involvement was a mainstream, crossover hit.

Since then, there have been 32 sequels to the “Show of Shows.” And on April 8, 2018, Wrestlemania will return to New Orleans’ Superdome with a star-studded match card. In recognition of over three decades of Wrestlemania moments, here’s a gallery of the best individual matches from each PPV. Hopefully, Wrestlemania 34 will live up to its institutional standard.

For more Wrestlemania coverage, check out the biggest rumors leading up to the event. We have a full match card for you to check out, as well as our predictions. And come back to GameSpot Universe on Sunday, April 8 for live coverage of Wrestlemania 34.

From a value standpoint, buying collector’s editions is a gamble. For every one that becomes an actual collector’s item and soars in value, many of them go nowhere but down. That’s not a problem if you’re buying the game because you like the physical goodies that come with it, but if you’re in it to make a fortune, it’s tough luck.

It’s safe to say Wolfenstien II: The New Colossus Collector’s Edition hasn’t fared well from a value standpoint. But its loss is your gain, because GameStop has this retro-style package for $35, which is great deal, considering it cost $100 when it first came you. You can buy it here on Xbox One or here on PlayStation 4.

Wolfenstien II: The New Colossus Collector’s Edition takes the form of an old-school action figure set that’s actually a propaganda piece from the Nazi-controlled American government. The action figure is B.J. Blazkowicz, but here he’s branded as “Terror-Billy, a cold-blooded killer that must be stopped.” It comes in a 1960s-style box, with a pocket manual, poster, bomber jacket, and an array of weapons.

It also includes the game, of course. In her 9/10 Wolfenstein II review, GameSpot’s Kallie Plagge wrote she enjoyed its combat variety, excellent cutscenes, and crystal-clear anti-Nazi stance.
