So, is this a good start?
Remastering "from the ground up" Crash 1-3. I kinda feel like this is a good way to bring him back, without shitting on the franchise entirely, to test grounds for an actual Crash game. The problem is, they will definitely use Activision's new design
>>341368015
what do they mean by remaster though, do they mean straight up Ratchet and Clank remaster?
I have a feeling they are doing a remaster to see if people are still interested in Crash before doing a new game
>>341368015
If they add the pre-console OST, Slippery Climb and fix the 'Die once, all crates reset' bullshit then it'll be GOAT
Is it a remaster or a remake?
If it's remastering. Then I expect just a psn store downloadable release for all three games and nothing else
>>341368015
10 bucks that they will only change the textures and the skins.
>>341368561
>'Die once, all crates reset'
It'd be too easy if you didn't have to complete the level in a single try.
>>341368710
And bump the resolution and aspect ratio to 16:9, I'd expect
>>341368247
Ok, so, what's the difference today between remaster and remake?
RE1 has a remake, right? it's even called the REmake.
Shit like The Las of Us remastered is literally the same game but upscaled and some bullshit to sell it to you again ONE FUCKING GEN after when it was released, maybe with framerate fixes, but visually, it remains pretty much the same.
So I guess they're remaking it? I just hope they add the cut levels from Crash 1 and maybe rework some boss battles since Papu Papu was easy as shit.
>>341368247
>>341368618
He says "from the ground up". To me, that is full remake in PS4.
Are we going to have another "Coco R34" thread like yesterday?
>>341368730
Beating a level in one go is fairly easy
Beating a level in one go AND break every crate (including gem route ones) is tedious and at times, ass-ravaging
>>341368973
>Remaster
Literally the same game just upscaled to HD
>Remake
Entire engine, graphics, models, and everything remade
>>341368015
ANOTHER REMASTER. I love crash but fuck me it will just be a retract and clank situation.
>looks nice
> plays nice
>is more casual than the original
>>341368618
Remake like Ratchet and Clank.
>>341368710
That'd be perfect honestly
there's no need to fuck with the game itself, its damn near perfect. Just give a graphical upgradeI think that they're going to shove the Skylanders model into the remasters, which terrifies me
>>341368894
I forgot to mention that, thanks
>>341369158
I hate to say it, but git gud
you have infinite tries
>>341368973
Boss fights are now QTEs.
>>341368015
Depends if they try to fix what wasn't broken as opposed to making it look good and cleaning up the audio.
>>341368561
>fix the 'Die once, all crates reset' bullshit then it'll be GOAT
You can't be serious. there's a lot of crates in the game which require you to risk your life to smash them and it takes skill to smash them without dying. What's the point in trying to 100% the game if it takes no skill whatsoever. Furthermore, there's crates which can only be reached if other crates are still there to jump on. So what if you break those launching crates and can't reach the other crates? Then you have to restart the whole level.
>>341368561
>make the game easier and it will be good
go fuck yourself
>>341369298
nah, it would be great if they de-geometrized him, just like those fan made demos.
I like the cartoonish style more, but I want it to be smooth like picture.
can I play this on the vita yet?
>>341369975
yes
all pS4 games work on the vita via remote play
>>341368015
>mfw this is chance to get the Josh Mancell´s pre-console mixes
>>341369158
What a faggot. I bet niggers like you never touched nes games. THOSE games are hard.
>>341370080
no
I mean the ps1 classics version.
>>341368015
Is this multiplatform?
>>341370080
I'm talking about the PS1 games.
Why can't I play the PS1 games I FUCKING BOUGHT on my goddamn Vita? Fuck Sony.
>>341368015
Just wait til they ruin his design.
He better look like pic related or he'll be dead forever.
>>341369072
>not Tawna
FUZZY
ORANGE
BREASTS
>>341368561
This does seem likely if it is indeed a R&C-style "remaster." All 3 games will likely have the core mechanics of Warped.
>>341370260
Hard to say, they said PS4 is getting the Skylanders shit first, but sounded like Crash 1-3 would be exclusive.
>>341370303
you can
pop the disc in your PS3 then open remote play
>>341368015
A lot of people complain about the high difficulty of Crash 1. It's better to start with Crash 2 since it has more polished controls, much less difficult, and is overall the best-designed of the series.
>>341370612
LAGGY I WANT EMULATION LIKE DOWNLOADING TO VITA
>>341370303
>>341369975
Works fine for meThanks to hacks
But seriously the EU PSN has crash iirc.
>>341369024
You're getting over-excited. Probably not much will change. The games look fine as they are anyways, but PS1 graphics do look atrocious on HD screens so maybe that's what they'll work on.
>>341370974
Composer-tier taste my nigga
Show me where they said "from the ground up".
Until i see a screenshot proving otherwise I'm assuming its just a slightly prettier PS1 game.
>>341368015
They'll probably change Crashs model into the new shitty one. The remakes will be worse than the original ones which are still perfectly playable.
>>341368015
only if they add the shit that they couldn't add during the 90s due to time, budget, etc
>>341371704
>Show me where they said "from the ground up".
he said it during the e3 presentation retard
>>341371429
Well yeah its not going to be drastic changes. Same exact gameplay, platforming etc maybe with tighter controls for the first game, but PS4
>>341371704
https://youtu.be/0Me4_rqefVE?t=5374
"fully remastered from the ground up"
>>341368561
I believe you meant Stormy Ascent, Slippery Climb is the one in the game.
What I think needs to be "fixed" are the controls, 2's controls are infinitely superior and if they are remaking them I don't see why would they not use them.
And the "crates reset if you die" is only a problem is a few levels but that's just because of length, not actual difficulty (looking at you, Sunset Vista)
>>341371704
>There's an entire video about it
>show me a screenshot
this has to be some sort of bait
>>341369158
That's a good thing. It's also optional
Not only is it a great way to bring Crash back, but IMO, it's the IDEAL way to do it. All I wanted was at least 1 of the original Crash games to be remade and now we are getting all 3, which is fucking awesome. I don't understand why some people are so down about this
>>341370878
It's papu papu
The only thing I would care is a Crash team racing widescreen remaster with online multiplayer and split screen (like sonic allstars transformed, where you can play both at the same time) nothing else changed, just add online.
If they add a crossplay vita version I would be in heaven.
>>341370974
Damn, you're making me want to have a Vita
>>341372202
I'm hoping they make the save point/password system more accommodating in the first game. It will give a better impression to people who are new to the series.
>>341369158
i feel your pain
i can still remember spending 1998 playing crash 2 and trying to get 100%. a friend got the guide and we had one level left, some snow level and we couldn't find ONE box left in the level. not sure how we missed it over and over, but we didn't 100% it until 2003.
all over 1 fucking box for 5 years
>>341369298
It'll be similar, but toned down. The model now is made to fir the Skylanders world
>>341372404
because its "Yet another rerelease"
That's pretty much all I am hearing from all nay sayers
As for me, I'm hype, I would rather a non fucked remake of the original trilogy (plus CTR) than a new game at this point
http://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2016/06/14/e3-2016-crash-bandicoot-ps4-remasters-handled-vicarious-visions/
>Being made by Skylander's team
>>341369158
Nah
In fact I prefer the "Fuck you, do it perfect" approach of Crash 1 over Crash 2 and 3
You want to 100% this game? GIT GUD at it if you are not perfect, you aint getting the true eding
>>341373720
Vicarious Visions did the Crash GBA games which were actually kinda great
>>341373720
To be fair on Vicarious Visions, before they were the skylander team, they did make some nice games
>>341373720
Crash is finished.
Hopefully they replace the save system of the first game, that shit was just dumb.
>>341373978GIT
U
D
>>341373720
of course, they are crash veterans. I wonder if the team from twinsanity is still in there. probably not
>>341374119
Or get a good save system
>>341373978
What was so bad about it? I really can't remember, the last time I played crash 1 was when I did a 100% run years ago.
>>341374283
Nah, you are not perfect, you don't deserve to save your game
>>341373765
There should be optional difficulties for each game. I'd love to play 2 & 3 on hard mode.
>>341373383
I am one of those who were really hoping for a new Crash title. I left Sony behind for Nintendo after the PS2. I would gladly go back to Sony and get a PS4 if Crash got a full reboot. The remasters were a really good idea, but I really hope more is in store for the series.
>>341370665
What a throwback
>>341374338
To save you must find 3 Tawana Icons in the stage, upon doing it so, you must complete a bonus round, if you succeed in the bonus round you are allowed to save the game
Failing the Bonus round will not subtract a life
You can also save by collecting 3 Bryo tokens, upon doing so you are warped to a deathroute, if you complete the death route you are allowed to save, failing to do so will subtract a life
If you fail at either of these you cannot save in this level till you restart
You can save too once you earn a gem or other special item
This last one might not be accurate, since my memory is a bit fuzzy, but IIRC, you can only save once per level
So if you save on lvl 1, you cannot use the same level to save anymore
Basically, if you are not perfect, you don't get to save your game
>>341368015
Depends who's doing it.
Crash Bandicoot is tight, if they fuck with any core part it's going to be worse.
Remember the Tony Hawk's remaster.
>>341374729
There is already dynamic difficulty in crash, its the very first game ND implemented it
If you keep fucking up on an enemy or environmental hazard the game will "cheat" and let you pass
for example, if you get killed over and over on one rolling boulder, the game will delay its trigger so you wont get killed, same happens with every other enemy
Crash does not need difficulty settings, its already perfect the way it is
Want easy mode?
You suck at the game already just give some time and you are in it
You want Normal?
Just beat the game
You want Hard
GIT GUD and become perfect so you can 101% it
>>341375214
Vicarious Vision, they did every ps2 crash until Tag Team Racing, i think we can relax a bit
>>341375213
I don't even remember any icons or tokens in the game. All I can remember is you needed to get 100% of the levels crates to get a gem which you needed for 100% and sometimes you couldn't get all the crates in a level unless you had already beat a later level which unlocks a gem that lets you access hidden crates.
>>341375843
I thought they just made CNK and the GBA games
>>341375214
>Remember the Tony Hawk's remaster.
wasnt that done by some cellphone game company?
>>341375843
Traveler's Tales did WoC and Twinsanity
>>341375843
Vicarious Visions only did Nitro Kart and the GBA gams
Traveller's Talles did Wrath of Cortex and Twinsanity
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crash_Bandicoot
>>341376269
>>341375843
>>341376550
oops, i was thinking of Traveller's Tales sorry, they did GBA games and Nitro Kart yes. Still ok by me
>>341376624
the GBA ones were pretty true to the source material though
>>341376624
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crash_Bandicoot#Cancelled_games
>CTR 2010
I'm mad
>>341376934
there's prototype footage anon, it looked so cool ;_; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_MbDkWTbGM
>>341377332
Soundtrack sounded fun
Crash didn't look like crash, but the rest was pretty good
We would probably say it was shit if it did come out...
>>341377907
it was also supposed to tie-in with a open world platformer, Crash Landed
>>341377332
>still has that awful voice
god I hope they don't use it on the remakes
>>341378358
yes it is still the same voice actor, i like him honestly, i just hope there's no "PANCAKES"
>>341378358
>>341378481
Crash shouldn't say anything other than "WHOA!"
Making him speak would be dumb.
>>341378761
oh yeah, and "DA DA DAAA!"
>>341377332
Why do they make so much of a game just to drop it?
>>341379245
it's the curse of Crash
>>341368015
I'll say it's a good start once they actually start working it. I got the impression that they literally came up with the idea a couple of days ago.
>>341378761
who knows, they are trying to study the original crash, maybe they will try to have same voices, but i doubt it. Lex Lang will probably be cortex, and that means it will be way wackier than the original if it happens
ITT: Damage control
I want them to do CTR at some point.
Then on to Spyro, hopefully?
After the original trilogy, the fanbase has been split in so many different directions
>Nostalgia fags
>Twinsanity fags
>Naughty Dog fags
>Actual retards who liked the mutant games
This is the best direction to go, not "gauging interests" but knowing people all agree they liked the PS1 games so try to rebuild them from the ground up and then see where people want future Crash games to go is the best possible idea
But Jesus Christ, if they remade CTR with online support, I would suck Shawn Layden's cock
>>341379826
>Then on to Spyro, hopefully?
Activision still owns Spyro though. As for Crash...
>like Crash
>but never really been a HUGE fan of the series
>supposed CRASH REBOOT
>just a remaster and SKYLANDERS
>hardly know much about Skylanders but having a portal to put your amiibos in and play as said character
>Crash is in the new Skylanders expansion bullshit
>suddenly wanna play Skylanders ONLY for Crash
>there's a Crash starter pack
>on the fence of buying this bullshit just to have some Crash goodness
I part not wanna play Skylanders but part of me needs some more Crash in my life
>>341380182
They could license him out for a game or three. EA holds the Porsche license, but Forza has been licensing it out for the past two games.
The original Crash Trilogy was alright, but were more technical achievements than anything else. Crash Team Racing is the game that held up the best all these years.
>>341368015
Wonder if they'll add the level they left out of 1?
>>341380990
As long as they remove the piss stupid save system of that game I'm all for it.
>>341378481
What game was that again?
>>341381760
Mind over Mutant I think
>>341380185
Same anon. I want to know how much involes crash. Can I play the whole game just as him? It would be a great filler until the remasters release
>>341381884
Ah, havn't touched those ones. Should i try them for cringe feast? Or not even worth it for that?
>>341370227
is this brie? is there more?
>>341382128
Just watch the cut scenes on YouTube
the cringe is not worth the horrible gameplay
>>341380714
Activision is super gay though. I don't think they'll go for it. The only reason we're getting the Crash remasters is that Sony may now actually own the IP.
>>341373823
>8
was that crash purple and spyro orange?
These threads have been tempting me to go play some Warped, though I kinda want to wait for the remasters.
>>341369675
He means "once you reach a checkpoint everything you broke so far stays broken", which is how it worked in 2/3. If you break some crates then die, you go back to checkpoint and everything is as it was when you activated it.
Honestly I'd much prefer just letting you save whenever you wanted at the map screen, doing levels in one life is a Challange to overcome, leaving your console on all night because there hasn't been a save point in 3 levels is just bad design.
>>341382534
Vicarious Visions did games before that for Crash and Spyro. Spyro suffered from Tony Hawk syndrome in that it was cool to have it on a GBA at the time, but is a bitch to play nowadays. The GBA Crash games were proper Crash games, though. Pretty impressive honestly.
>>341373383
I hope they can at least bring the originals to the US PSN
I loved my PS1 because of Crash 1-3 and the Digimon Worlds. Cant buy any of them though.
Im a Nintenfag desperately looking to jump ship here btw.
>>341372931
Cold Hard Crash, the box if offscreen in the bonus round. It's super shitty since there's no reason why anyone would jump there, and nothing even hinting that it's in the bonus round. It's made even worse by CHC being the hardest level to 100%, since you need to do the Skull Route, then backtrack through it instead of continuing.
>>341383153
They are on the US PSN for the PS3
The are not on the Vita PSN because Activision was gonna make a new crash game ( or Skylanders Port) once and refused the republishing agreement, so no fun for US Vita owners
Same thing happened to Spyro,
>>341380185
Dark times are upon us when we're considering playing a fucking shitty Skylanders game in order to re-experience Crash.
N E W S P Y R O W H E N
Ill only play it if insomniac makes it tho desu
>>341383240
That hidden box was a definite oversight by the devs.
They could just make the original Crash games we bought on PSP or PS3 playable on the PS4. Microsoft would.
>>341375213
You forgot to mention that not every level has a Twana bonus round, and near the end of the game they are only every 3 levels, so you have to beat Slipperly Climb (hardest in game), Lights Out (a level in pitch black) and the long and difficult temple level all without fucking up.
And Brio Bonus Rounds didn't let you save, they were just absurdly hard challanges with no reward other than a few lives.
And getting a Gem saved.....getting the gem and nothing else. If you got a gem, and saved, then quit, you'd reload the game with the gem but with the level uncompleted. So if you got the Gem on Temple level on 3rd island but not bonus round, then died or quit, you'd have to do all 3 levels again.
Crash 1's save system is not good, I don't understand anyone who defends it. Difficulty is fine, but it's just tedium and a result of devs not really knowing how to make it work.
>>341383240
Is that the level where you have to backtrack on ice and there are a ton of nitro crates? I got to 99% my last play through and got stuck there.
>>341380990
There's actually about 5 "almost finished" levels. Look up Crash 1 beta on YouTube. Some are really cool.
>>341375214
>tfw this is going to be Turtles in Time Reshelled level garbage
Guys, I have a bad feeling about this, please cheer me up
>>341370974
Is the Ratchet and Clank HD trilogy on Vita any good?
>>341385641
Reshelled was XBLA tight-budget shit. This has Sony's relentless legal haggling behind it. It HAS to be good or else all this effort to bring Crash back would be a waste of time.
>>341372495
oh fuck yes
I'm hoping they'll keep Tawna in the Crash 1 remaster and don't do anything stupid.
>>341387720
Didn't even care for TLoU but I'd play thisbut only if ladders are removed completely
>>341373823
>>341373879
>>341374226
>all these 18 year olds defending Vicarious
Its fairly easy to tell who grew up playing the original Crash games and experienced the utter disappointment of playing The Wrath of Cortex and everything that came after it, versus the kids who grew up playing garbage like Twinsanity
Vicarious and Traveller's Tales destroyed the franchise, the games they made were cheap cash ins that never did the original games justice
Why the FUCK wasn't CTR included? Do you know how fucking hype people would be if they remade CTR with online?
Fuck man, there's no way no one's thought of it.
