I've only seen the first few seconds of the video, and the opening just made me laugh, and then I realised how long it is, and I was like "I don't have time to watch this" lol

So Crash 4 is great and all BUT...



Nearly 70 hours to complete a game? Just like Dark Souls.

Relics aren't even needed for % progression... that's just a joke. The only reward for collecting ALL platinum relics is just receiving a single trophy... anything below it it's just plain useless...

Platinum relics are actually needed for % progression this time around, it's the purple/developer ones that aren't.

Only for trophy/achievements, but not for % AFAIK.

Or like, just playing the game shows it. You ain't hitting that 106% without every Platinum.

It has to be platinum? You don't get any % for "regular" relics?

In that case is pretty much the same for me...

You probably still get % for the less valuable relics, but not as much. (So think how N. Sane was with gold relics, but now with platinum, where the lesser relics are worth less percentage overall)

Gold gives 2%, another 2% for Platinum. Poor Sapphires ain't worth a thing.

TLDR: i ramble about crash cartoons


ok, just so we're all caught up, there's a rumor going around that acti was working with amazon to produce a crash bandicoot cartoon. i'm not sure where the original source for this is, so i can't link it. if you look up "cancelled crash cartoon", it should pop up pretty quickly.

anyway, it made me want to collect examples of preexisting animated media involving crash. for the sake of brevity, i'll be ignoring cutscenes that are rendered in a style similar to a game's visuals. this means the mind over mutant cutscenes are still included in this list, as they're all in different art styles, BUT regular cutscenes will not be included


crash 1 cartoon (unused cutscene)


mind over mutant cutscenes


skylanders academy


rumored cartoon (cancelled)



i think i'm probably missing some promo material. wouldn't be surprised if there were animated crash ads back in the day.

it's interesting to see how many times they've attempted to animate crash outside of the context of a video game. hopefully, they can make it stick some day, because i think crash could work very well in a cartoon. or perhaps other media outside of animation... like, a comics? i know there's some old ones floating around the web.

Just a correction, that Crash 1 cartoon was just supposed to be a cutscene in the first game. Sony didn't want that to push the 3D capabilities of the console.

ooooo thank you, i'll fix that

This game (completion-wise) makes me want to owe PS1 Crash 1 an apology. ;-;
Brilliant game overall, but they really overdid the difficulty and amount of collectibles compared to previous installments.

Welp... I was recording test footage in case I use it for a future review, and then I came across a strange glitch that may or may not jeopardize my primary Save File...

EDIT:

Incoming new platforms!

It has been confirmed it runs 1080p docked, 720p undocked, 30fps on both fronts.

Just received the update and finally got all the crates in Bears Repeating, thank goodness they fixed Polar's hitboxes...

They did, Shnurgle also got fixed. I just did the Crash Landed dev time so I can attest to that.

Oh, neat.
