Greetings, and welcome to the All-Purpose Crash Bandicoot Topic!

About

Crash Bandicoot is a series revolving around an orange marsupial called Crash Bandicoot and his arch-nemesis, Dr. Neo Cortex. Crash, with the help of friends and family, like his sister Coco, his sentient mask friend Aku Aku and his semi-brother Crunch, set into adventures on the fictional Wumpa Islands in Australia in order to stop the evil plans of Cortex, his henchmen, and other enemies. The main series consists mostly of 3D platforming games, with focus on linear level design and extra tasks like breaking crates or collecting Crystals and Gems. The series has gone trough many styles of gameplay, both for its spin-offs and for some of the more experimental main entries, with the franchise trying out on kart racing games, 2D platformers, party games and even beat 'em ups. This is due to the many studios and publishers who got hold of the franchise as time went on, but the series is now owned by Activision, with current games being made by Vicarious visions, Toys for Bob and Beenox.

Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled is the next game in the Crash Bandicoot franchise. It is a remake of Crash Team Racing for the original PlayStation, and it includes the entire original game - from Adventure Mode and Cup Mode to Battle Mode and Time Trials - with fully remade visuals, plus additions like online multiplayer, new vehicles, vehicle switching and "more to be announced". The game will be released on June 21, 2019 for the PlayStation 4, XBox One and Nintendo Switch for a price tag of $39.99. A special edition called Nitros Oxide Edition, available at $49.99, will include Nitros Oxide, the main antagonist, and his vehicle from the get-go, plus space-themed skins for Crash, Coco and Cortex, and "more to be announced". Players who get the standard version can unlock Nitros Oxide and his vehicle during Adventure Mode.

Crash Bandicoot: N. Sane Trilogy is the latest game in the Crash Bandicoot series. It is a remake of the first three Crash games for the original PlayStation, including Crash Bandicoot, Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back and Crash Bandicoot: Warped. The games are the same as before, but with visuals and music remade from the ground up, plus a lot of tweaks and new features, like Time Trials in all three games, a playable appearance from Coco in all games, a crate counter in all of the games, and more. The game is available for PlayStation 4, XBox One, Nintendo Switch and PC (by the Steam store). Two new stages can also be downloaded for free, called Stormy Ascent (a cut level from the original Crash Bandicoot) and Future Tense (an all-new level for Crash Bandicoot: Warped).

Guess there was no lie when they said they'd use Imaginators as framework for the assets - you see the same plants and statues, and it feels a lot like VV's Skylanders engine.

Knowing VV, doubt they could screw this up even if they tried, and it looks pretty good as is(though a bit snappy on the movement, probably so it doesn't break the original level design). I just hope it's not at the expense of their other franchise.

From the looks of it, they might add a bit more narrative to the first game since it lacked a story besides the premise.

Same engine? Interesting.

I heard some people complaining about Crash's design and slowdowns made for the trailer (they think it's something in the game) because why not.

No doubt they're using the modern Skylanders engine. Looking at the gamneplay and seeing the sky, those are pretty much Skylands clouds.


Like Bifrost, I hope Vv working on this didn't take away from their baby

Still looks to be very WIP from what I can see. That said, it really does seem to be a faithful recreation... at least for the original. Tawna's there and everything.

And thank GOD they give us a box counter in the Crash 1 levels! Now let's just hope they DON'T bring back the "need to bash every box and clear the level without dying" shenanigans that plagued the original Crash 1. >.>

They could've replaced her with, say, Coco or something. I think originally parents complained to Sony/Naughty Dog about her design, but that's not really much of an issue these days with the ESRB and kids playing Call of Duty anyway. <.<

He says a very clear 'oh no' at the start

I mean from what VV did in Imaginators which I assume is their understanding of the character, Crash *can* talk, he just doesn't 99% of the time. He still says some full words every now and then.

Crash has always been able to say tiny phrases and exclamations

But the point of his character is that the experiments done on him by Neo ****ed his brain up and left him with below average IQ, which was a large appeal of the character and was endearing that this idiot kept saving the world.

That I get. His role in Skylanders Academy isn't canon anyway and was the result of bad timing to begin with. But he can say stuff, still, he's not exactly silent protagonist.

Also, is this really a press-avaliable demo like Bloodstained? The short footage all made it seem like it's just short sections, but that stream shows it's a full-on demo of 2 levels.

It depends on the game. He's totally silent in TwinSanity but makes so much noises in Titans/Mind Over Mutant that it almost feels like gibberish. On the original games, he makes simple noises and words like "oh no" and "tah-daaah".

The B-roll footage did look a little bit faster-paced than the trailer footage. By which I mean, Crash's movement and jumping speed seemed more like what I remember the PSX games playing like. Or maybe I'm just seeing things. @.@

i had to stop watching cuz he was so bad, how can you be that bad?

-incredibly standard easy jump-
"Okay guys now you gotta be really careful at this spot and make sure you dont fall cuz it's a really hard jump"
-makes the jump and fails at a standards box pit puzzle-

For the looks her remaster design looks more tame then from the PS1 days. Also did Crash just said ¨Oh No?¨

And here come the complainers, saying the trilogy is "ruined", because:

  • The games aren't developed by Naughty Dog or Sony
  • Not satisfied with Crash's HD design
  • The art style is different
  • The PS1 original atmosphere being removed

Yes yes, I know when there's a game remaster revealed, there are bound to be users who will find ways to complain, even when they are getting what they have been demanding all these years. X3

Not the cutscene voices, people are saying Crash's SFX is different. Maybe the pitch changed a bit, but it's the same there.

Bad for business? I mean, the point of exclusives is to make people want to buy a specific console. The entire gaming business for console manufacturers is to get as much exclusives as possible.

That said, I also hope Spyro gets something along these lines.

That's why companies won't stop at one exclusive. They try to make as much as possible to attract people to their consoles.
