spyro reignited apparently doesn't have the original's dynamic dpad controls
which is kind of a shame because it was the pioneering game of that system and it worked really well, gave you precision moving around a 3d world without needing an analog stick
if you aren't aware, the original game had a system where spyro would accelerate from a stop when you pressed any directional button, so quickly tapping the button would allow you to move a very short distance, and pressing to either side while holding forward would allow you to get more angular precision based on how long you pressed the side button; it works really intuitively and we've only ever seen it in spyro and super mario 64 ds
