>>341650769
I'm with you. It wasn't my first, but I always loved this game.
Maybe its because I have a bias for Gamecube games. Anything I play on that system immediately feels more fun than anything else.

It was always mediocre. Fuck those loading times. GBA titles and maybe bash are the only post naughty dog titles that are worth playing.
>>341650769
WoC is fucking shit, I wish it was mediocre.
>>341651238
Twinsanity is better than all NG games
Kill yourself tasteless pleb
The game itself wasn't bad.
I remember this was the first game I got for my PS3, and it came off the heels of the glorious PSX games.
Needless to say it was a huge letdown. A lot of the levels were poorly done, and dear god THE FUCKING LOAD TIMES.

Why? If a game you love is mediocre by a series standard, then odds are you would ABSOLUTELY ADORE the original trilogy. Did you actually play the PS1 games, or do you somehow like wrath of cortex more?
>>341650769
I can relate. At least I haven't played it in ages so it's not going to leave any bad memories or anything.

(you)
Why do you care what this board full of people who don't even play video games think
I get shit for having the first game be my favorite levels. Yes I get that 2 and Warped are fucking amazing, I know. First is still my favorite. The gameplay, atmosphere, music, everything in that game is perfect to me.
>>341650769
If you love this one then you're guaranteed to love the original ND trilogy even more, dude.
Fuck, consider yourself lucky. What I wouldn't give to play Crash 2 for the first time again.

FTFY
>>341652271
Its okay anon, I had fun with it too. This is coming from someone who tanked countless hours into CTR as a youngster with my Dad.
>>341651013
Didn't the game run like ass on GC, with framedrops and such?
>>341650769
For some reason I refuse to watch a playthrough of this game, I remember that this one kid had it and he played a couple of stages but I've never seen anything beyond that, and it's been such a long time I've completely forgotten about it
I got it for PS2 a while ago but the disc just doesn't work, so that's out of the window, my last resort is the Gamecube version, but I'm too lazy to go and fix it up for my softmodded Wii
I still want to play it
>>341650769
It was okay
Not nearly as good as any of the Naughty Dog games, but an honest effort.
Loved the wrath cortex. Coco levels were so much fun....barring that space one
>>341650769
it was my first game too, never got past the second boss, still, loved the series with passion.
8 years waiting for a game, i hope Vicarious Visions can deliver
>>341652091
This to be honest. It has the best themeing with the island stuff and the most pure platforming.
>>341650769
Only thing I remember what the 5 minute loading screens of crash falling forever.

>>341652887
Huh never seen that render before, its pretty cool.
>>341650769
2 and 3 are better but that was the LAST good crash game.
>>341650769
twinsanity would have been the best game if it was more polished. the OST was god tier but then the cutscenes have no music sometimes and are blatantly missing sound effects. how do you put so much effort into OST and none into sound mixing/editing?
>>341653724
Game was rushed sadly, it was pretty buggy and short too
>>341650769
Did you even play Crash 1-3 on PS1? Wrath of Cortex is a mediocre imitation of them. Most 5/10 game ever made.
>>341651891
> OST
Flat out wrong. There's a reason why literally no other game has had full on a capella music.
> best Crash design
Flat out wrong again. This is the game that took out all of Crash's original charm and just declared him a retarded character. Visually, he has no chin, he has wide, bony shoulders, constantly lazy eyes and a shit eating grin, and his fur has no texture. It could be plastic for what it looks like. Even in Crash 1 he had some visible fur texture on his back. Pic related, so far the best Crash.
> best art style
Sure, it's kinda like the originals, with washed out colors and no contrast.
> best sense of adventure
Crash 1 had more of a sense of adventure if you have some imagination. A shit Ren & Stimpy knockoff is not my idea of adventure.
Don't let the shit brains on this board tell you what's good and bad. All that matters is how much you enjoyed it.
>>341653830
yeah it really shows. it could have been the best crash game if it had all the content that was planned. still love it.
>>341654206
This ought to be a banner
>>341651415
Nah.
Twinsanity wasn't even finished.
Look on the bright side, if you really love the series there are several games that are even better than the one you like that you can go play
>>341650769
It's just rushed and undertested.
>>341652647
download an emulator?
>>341654695
computer is a toaster, can't even run a PS2 emulator at a decent framerate
>>341653689
do you think someone out there has the original files used to render all the promotional art on his hard drive, looking at it everyday but unable to leak it
I like to think there is
>>341652647
Gamecube version is shit, don't play that.
Xbox version has disgusting looking fur shading applied.
PS2 version is by far the best. Get the platinum/greatest hits version to reduce loading times, or play it on a BC PS3.
>>341653689
That was on the game disc, what the fuck man.
>>341654803
Buy a better one later.
>>341650769
The game you played is mediocre anon. 1-3 are amazing and twinsanity is better than wrath if cortex
>>341652887
In middle school, some years after I beat it, I watched classmates fail over and over again on the 2nd boss in Wrath of Cortex. I beat him on my first try.
I think I discovered a minor flaw, but serious in this context, flaw with the controls:
If you jump, and plan on crouching immediately after landing, Crash won't crouch until his landing animation is done. This was not an issue in Crash 3, so naturally the very similar N. Tropy fight wasn't nearly as hard for people who don't know about this flaw.
>>341654916
Do Platinum releases in PAL territories also fix bugs like GH releases in USA?
That is important for a buyfag and collector like moi.
>>341650769
It's not a bad game, but it's definitely the worst of the bunch compared to the PS1 games.
>>341654839
> Be content creator

There.
>>341655786
Sometimes, but I don't know what bugs you're talking about.
In the case of Crash Twinsanity, the PAL version came out later. They removed a tree which, if you jumped on top of it, let you skip an entire level. In return, we got a fucked up Evil Crash run (Evil Crash runs around in circles instead of chasing Cortex)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGBwXH5P218 i hope they nail this intro in the remaster.

>>341657212
No, crash bash is an Eurocom game
>>341652425
ran fine on gamecube
>>341657308
Pretty obvious considering the significant decrease in graphical quality.
>>341652271
The mechanics where interesting, tho
>>341652271
Not really a kart game. It wants to be a platformer, mini-game collection and racing game at the same time.
>>341656187
Okay, so Platinums aren't just reprints. Good to know. Also, now I know which version to get.
>>341657480
gameplay quality too
>>341656612
Crash Nitro Kart intro was pretty good.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_ucMTjagBQ
>>341653004
Apparently, the dev team knew that this was a problem and, lacking the resources to actually fix it at the time, they decided to put a minigame in the loading screen, where you would actually control Crash's descent as he collected wumpa fruit. Unfortunately, they later found out that Namco had patented the concept of loading screen minigames (regardless of how said minigames played), and had to remove it before release.
>>341658167
gotta love how they did it in the exact style of the Team Racing intro, everybody flying across the screen and aku aku covering the screen
>>341658189
Can we just get rid of the fucking patent system? You can't do anything it seems, with shit like that in place.
>>341658509
Because Vicarious Visions gives a shit. Traveller's Tales and the other post-ND devs don't.
>>341658509
2 is best but 1-3 are great games
>>341658641
We just got, the patent is over now
>>341658754
Crash Twinsanity was pretty good though
>>341658962
Yeah. Unfortunately, that time around, it was the publisher who gave no shits, forcing TT to release it before it was done.
>>341658962
I don't think so. It's a complete misinterpretation of Crash's character and humor, and they threw Crash's sound design out the window because the producer wanted to use the a capella band he listened to at some point for some bizarre reason, which throws off the feel of Crash completely.
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/i_crashtwinsanity_sept2004
To me, this reads as a couple of developers absolutely hellbent on destroying a franchise.
>>341659603
dude the soundtrack was absolutely both funky and fresh. Sure, maybe it was more of a spin off title than a true Crash game, but Twinsanity was fucking dope.

Lol what a fag.
>>341661359
At least post a tolerable track from the game
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDcWGP9P2js

>>341650769
Ignore /v/, they're salty about the new remakes because they won't be getting them on their toy box.
>>341662181
That is the most hated track in the game by a lot of fans, but it's fair enough.
They somehow don't complain about filth like this

I've read Crash Bandicoot threads on other sites for a decade. There used to be an official one. It's not like there's a secret community or something.
>>341663803
>not like there's a secret community or something
don't lie 2 me bb i no what u r up 2
>>341664052
I guess you could check out the Crash Mania forums. Beware, though. They tend to bully certain types of members off the forum, particularly NaughtyDog purists and generally dumb off-topic members.
>>341650769
I hated it, purely because the loading screens were bullshit.
>>341665335
It was because the original PS2 version was on a CD. GH/Platinum was on DVD, fixing the loading times.
>>341665335
Hey, the loading screen itself was dank. This was my first experience with 3D games in 60FPS, and I was stunned at how smoothly that blue/purple flashy loading screen ran.
>>341665792
But as a kid with a piss poor attention span, the need for immediate stimulation and no internet to distract me, it was purgatory.
>>341659138
Other than the loading screens, it really wasn't THAT bad
>>341666526
The game crashed at random, and had awful slowdowns, though.
Thoughts on new Crash?
>>341666861
they TRIED to emulate the old look
atleast it's not Titans bad
>>341666861
what the fuck are those textures
>>341652271
Honestly have very fond memories of this as a kid unlocking everything
CTR is still much better
>>341666640
Did it crash?
I haven't played since I was a kid and don't remember it crashing.
>There are STILL people pissy that we're getting HD remasters of Crash's only good games (Sans Team Racing.) instead of having another third-rate developer poorly ape them.

>>341651305
This.
I'm a huge fucking fan of 1,2,3, and CTR though.
I with they'd also remake CTR with online play and the ability to do Oxide Station in multiplayer,
In hindsight this game was pretty good when compared to things to come after it.
Actually optimistic for remakes of 1,2 and three hoping they'll go the lazy route and just recreate the games with hi-poly models bf 4K textures, can't see how they'd fuck it up literally just copy and paste the original 3 with good graphics and smoother gameplay and we good
I hope they maybe tone down some of there more bullshit levels in crash 2 don't know if it's cause I was young but I remember the second game being unreasonably difficult compared to 1 and 3, whilst they're at it maybe turn the difficulty of warped up slightly and get rid of those road racing levels they were so poorly done, or at least make them bareable
>>341662756
>>341662181
Since when these were considered bad? Am I missing some secret meetings held by people with no taste?
I never finished any of the first three because they felt like the same five levels over and over.
>>341650769
How can you say it made you love the series if you haven't gone and played any of the others
My gaming sin? My first and only Zelda game wasTwilight Princess.
I enjoyed it.
>>341670148
I haven't played any Zelda game. Well, I played Ocarina for half an hour and dropped it because it never took off.
>>341669517
Why the fuck would you want them to be lazy about remaking games that were made through extremely hard work in under a year each (2 and 3)?
