"LOL, HERE'S A REMASTER OF THE FIRST GAMES AND HE'S IN SKYLANDERS NOW!"

In that moment, we were all one
>>341667105
>didn't want to be disappointed again so decided not to watch
wow that shit actually happened?
>>341667105
We need a webm/YouTube video of that.
>>341667223
Yep
At least they didn't make a big deal about it. Shit took a total of what? 20s to announce? They knew nobody would be satisfied with this shit. I guess it was part of some deal with Activision to announce it on stage.
>>341667105
>Everyone's faces when.
That fucking moment ruined sony's e3 rating desu.
>>341667105

Its the entire fucking conference what did you expect?
I couldn't find an individual video.
I think the Skylanders part was required by Sony, after all Activision owns him now. I think remastering the games though is to ask fans "Hey, do you have interest in more Crash games?" I personally am excited.
>>341668068
Holy shit this.
Wouldn't you guys rather have games that are pretty much guaranteed good?
But then again this is neo-/v/ they'd probably want another Mind Over Mutant.
You fags are never happy with anything are you.
>>341667105
desu that Skylanders model is alright
>>341667105
>4fingers
why did they fuck it up
>>341669232
>>341668068
As a Spyro fan I would LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEE Spyro 1-3 HD Remaster than a new Spyro.
Nostalgia/reality won't let their ever be a Crash/Spyro be as good as the classics.
>>341667559
>didn't make a big deal
>Literal years of teasing
>Playing the music
>Walking up on stage with Crash as your fucking shadow
They made a bigger deal out of it than Dad of War.
>>341669232
neo /v/ is the /v/ that will take the same game every generation because "muh graphics" and "muh trophies" no i dont want to fucking play remastered crash because the art style is fine to begin with and i don't care about it being upscaled to 1080p
i'd much rather they at least attempt to make a classic crash style game, even if they don't get it right i'd rather not play the same 3 games for the 10th time you fucking dumbass. if you're truly thankful for remasters you have holes in your brain
To be honest, remasterings of the first three Crash games could potentially lead to a revival for Crash if they sell well.
>>341669974
Unless they make a new deal with Activision, the games would also come to ALL systems.
Crash on Skyalnders isn't even exclusive.
>>341669232
>>341669620
>Wanting to pay money for upscaled of colorful polygonal PS1 games.
You could literally just do that in Unity, their graphics are that simple. It would be easier to update Spyro or Crash than to update a SNES game.
>>341668068
>new graphics
you mean upscaled with trophies like ff7
>>341669647
Crash's teasing aside, Cuck of War had that several-minute opera opening the show.
>>341670204
They said the remasters are from the ground up, so hopefully it won't be very polygonal graphics.
>>341667223
thank activision
>>341670106
>Crash on Skyalnders isn't even exclusive
source on this?
>>341668068
At the very least Crash 1 will get a proper fucking saving system.
Is it going to be a remaster like Ratchet & Clank Collection, or a remake like Ratchet & Clank (2016)?
>>341669567
My first impression of that model was "Holy fuck, he looks like some guy in a mascot suit or something"
>>341671185
>opera
it was an orchestra you fuck
>>341671317
so was the the FF8 remaster on pc aka it just means they upscaled and touched up some shit
>>341667105
>>341670204
>Unity
Ew.
>>341671858
In between.
Not a remake, but not just "hd"
Brand new textures. The best comparison would be Zelda WW HD. Except Zelda WW wasn't changed much because wasn't as old and it had cell shading art style.
>>341671638
Shawn Layden said "Play Crash first on skyalnders on PS4" do you can buy Crash and play with him on other systems. But its only a PS4 starter kit.
>>341671858
Considering they're doing 3 games and they used the word "remaster", I'd expect the former. Maybe with some new models and widescreen.
>>341672301
So there's no actual source on whether Crash is PS4 exclusive or not? Because when Nintendo did their skylanders last year they outright state that you can only use them on wii u.
>>341672553
Crash HD collection will be exclusive.
Crash Skylander will be timed exclusive/only buyable with Playstation starter pack, but still usable on other systems.
Crash is still owned by Activision.

>>341667105
I am legit optimistic about this
They made some good games
Also if they remakes do good they already confirm that they think about doign a new one.
Also it doesn't look that bad
http://i.imgur.com/OjYwbTT.gif
Gif too big
>>341667105
You see. Real life is about compromises.
Remasters we all wished for, but Activision probably struck a deal to revive Crash for Sony, only if they got more marketing from them regarding CoD and Skylanders inclusion (since these physical DLC business models are dying).
But that is fine. We just need to buy the hell out of the remasters and never touch Skylanders. Activision will understand people don't just want "more Crash", we want THE Crash we've known.
This will lead to more Crash games led by Sony and no Skylanders.
This is business. Just play business like smart consumers or fuck off.
>>341667223
yeah it was pretty funny how quickly the crowd died inside
at least it wasn't as bad as the time when square enix announced the original FF7 port
>>341672847
You still didn't give me a source on Crash's Skylander being usable on other versions of the game. Just fuck off if you don't actually have anything to back up your claims.
Am I the only fucking one who's not disappointed in this? The old games aged like fucking milk, I'd love to play them as current day platformers. And the new generation of kids isn't going to know who the fuck Crash is, this is a great way to re-introduce the franchise. I don't know why you expected a brand new full crash game out of nowhere. This is exactly what I was expecting.
>>341673132
Listen to his wording
https://youtu.be/w7yKx8iVti0?t=47s
47 seconds in.
Also see this .gif >>341672909
They also said it in an interview I believe.
>>341673179
I swear people will complain no matter what.
This is good. It's a step forward to having Crash games again, and possibly good ones and not retarded mutant ones like the last we had.
If Activision want to whore out Crash in Skylanders, fine. But Spyro didn't get remasters. If the remasters sell well, you can bet your ass there will be more Crash. And Sony will work on making those games as good as possible.
This is way better than Crash being hostage and Activision just sitting on the IP, and wondering which E3 Sony would bring him back every year.
>>341673179
>The old games aged like fucking milk
Then why are you happy about this? It's a remaster, same gameplay, maybe some nicer visuals.
>>341673536
They explicitly said "remastered from the ground up"
It's not going to be a carbon copy.
>>341673179
I'm happy. I'm more happy about the remasters, because I can't wait to play them again but with better graphics. Never was into Skylanders and I always thought it was shit, but looking at them playing with Crash they did a good job, so I plan to get the new one and just use Crash.and create my own skylander
Exactly what do they mean by "from the ground up" though?
This can just be another Ratchet and Clank Collection scenario.
Seeing that crowd all cheer and go nuts as soon as the Crash music started playing was one of the only times in a while where I thought gaming might not be completely fucked. That was the biggest, most genuine reaction I has seen from a crowd at E3 this year. It was beautiful to see that even now, an iconic character like Crash from a genre that is pretty much dead was still loved and wanted.
Then they mentioned Skylanders, and everyone got quiet.
>>341668068
>s-s-Sony won!!!!!
>>341673463
He still only says "Crash is on PS4" and "You can play Crash on PS4". Nothing else. It still doesn't prove that Crash's Skylander is usable on other versions of the game.
>gif
The header clearly says Skylanders Imaginators and not Crash Bandicoot Skylander. The GAME is multiplatform, it says nothing about his Skylander being multiplat.
You should just stop already with the mental gymnastics already.
Did other Spyro characters ever become a Skylander?
>>341669974
Yep, they're testing the ground.
>>341673828
Skylanders doesn't mean we aren't getting the remaster and the IP is being revived.
Just ignore Skylanders and the compromise we all had to make. Such is life. It can't all be positive.
>>341669232
To be fair
Mind over mutant was legitimately a good game and improvement over Titans
>>341673828
It was 110% hype. Then 80% hype with Remasters, and then 10% hype with the Skylander
>>341673536
"Remastered from the ground up" = remake. Same characters, story and levels, new controls and graphics and gameplay.
>>341673651
I think the use of the word "remaster" is pretty telling. And the fact they're doing three games makes it sound like another HD collection. We won't know until they release more information, I just wouldn't get your hopes up too high.
>>341668892
>literally no clapping when they said skylanders
>>341667105
ITS THE CONKER BULLSHIT ALL OVER AGAIN
>>341673942
You are a annoying nat. He said "APPEAR FIRST" also this
>The news first broke at PlayStation’s E3 2016 press conference, where fans and viewers around the world got a first glimpse at Crash Bandicoot’s upcoming role in the Skylanders Imaginators Starter Pack Featuring Crash Bandicoot, available exclusively on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 at launch.
>AT LAUNCH
https://blog.activision.com/t5/Skylanders/Crash-Bandicoot-Returns-in-Skylanders-Imaginators-and-Remastered/ba-p/9951160
Do you mean Skylanders or the remasters?
If Skylanders then yes.
>>341667338
It wasn't that dramatic, unfortunately. But the few WHOO's after mentioning Skylanders got the point across.
>>341670543
Confirmed build from the ground up
They said Crash HD won't come until next year.
So unless it's early 2017. Crash won't be at E3 again until 2018. But the HD collection comes out early 2017.
Here's how it plays out.
>Crash shown off at PSEXPO
>Crash HD comes early 2017
>If Crash sells well, BRAND NEW Crash announced at E3 2017
>skylander
If they had not said this one word every one would be excited
>>341668892
>YEAH THATS RIGHT
>WE RUSED YOU AGAIN FAGGOTS
>>341669974
lol
>>341667105
This is honestly the only way to handle this series. If they simply upgrade Crash to modern graphics and don't change anything then everyone will be happy. If they make a new story there's a high chance that it'll be shit.
>>341674450
At the very least they actually used classic Crash as a base instead of removing his skull and turning him into some sort of weird toad.
>getting a platinum in all 3 Crash games has a teaser for a new Crash
M-maybe?
>>341674450
At least this Crash looks pretty on-model. Can't say the same for Spyro.
>>341675104
Kinda like the Sly Collection. Would be cool.
>>341673179
The problem with that is that Super Mario 3D World already does that design better
>>341667105
I don't give a fuck about remasters of the ps1 games because I can already play them on my ps3 and I did just a couple of weeks ago. Remasters are not a substitute for new games, although Sony could have fooled me given the number of them in the last gen and now more in this one.
>>341668317
>>341669232
>everyone is neo/v/
>>341667105
>3d platformers
>good
you people are blinded by nostalgia and surrounded by a fog of shit taste
>>341673179
This reveal would have gone over far better had they not built up the announcement so much.
They should have just had a Skylanders trailer, in the middle of it reveal that Crash is available as a character, then use that as a segue into the remaster reveal. Might feel a bit like the Project Spark Conker reveal but at least it's better than what we got.
Starting off with Crash Bandicoot music, a Crash Bandicoot themed set appearing, with someone walking out on stage to give an announcement, all of that just sets people up to expect something much bigger.
>>341668068
The Crash formular wouldn't make sense now.
Am I the fucking only person that understands this ?
The game was a product of the time, it being 3d is what made it popular.
/v/, how did we go from this...
>>341676154
...to this?
>>341676154
...to this
>>341676065
I agree,
This woulda been better
>Skylanders Crash trailer thing appears
>Shawn comes out
>Yep Crash is back. And he's coming first to Playstation.
>Butttt that's not all. We are pleased to announced we are working on a Crash 1-3 HD REMASTER with Activision
Hm. You know Although that sounds nice. How do you transition from here? Could just have the COD thing interrupt right after? I Don't know.
>>341676148
>The Crash formular wouldn't make sense now.
What?
There is literally no reason to believe this
>>341676538
We have to pay attention to Yoka Laylee's numbers to see whenever games like those stand a chance on this generation. If that game does incredibly well then expect every company to jump into it.
>>341676538
Those games existed because of limited tech back then and it was from a very very talented studio.
Nothing about the games now is impressive or even appealing, it's all a bunch of nostalgic idiots whining about wanting old shit.
>>341676270
inspired by 1995 crash i would say
Skylanders isn't a bad game series. You faggots just hate it cause it ruined Spyro's image. Boo fucking hoo. All the other characters are top notch and Bowser, Donkey Kong and now Crash are in the game?
>>341668892
>>341667223
>>341667105
>>341677369
Thats not Spyro, its Spryo, r-right?

Again, he's cute but he's not Spyro.
>>341677469

>>341677115

>crash is back
>OOOH BOOOOOOOY GET HYPE
>Remastered
>woaah cool I guess!
>crash on skylanders
>absolute silence
>>341677809
Except it's Spyro learning how to be a fucking skylander.
Also, the Lava dude is so confused at how he rolled up that many paper balls, when he has no fucking fingers.
Is Skylanders where characters go to die?
>yfw Skylanders is a place for Dead IPs to go.
I'm ready for Megaman and Sonic in Skylanders.
>>341677898
I have to say some of the character designs look like they could have had their own series. If you told me someone like Stealth Elf had a video game for the PS1 back in early 2000, I'd believe you.
>>341677898
>>341678010
Next year they will confirm Gordon Freeman Skylander
>>341677898
>>341678010
But Donkey Kong was in Skylanders....Oh god.
>>341678134
I think the inspiration is obvious.
We basically get a Crash amiibo and you faggots cry about it.
What's worse is that the developers said Crash's inclusion was intended to reintroduce him to a new audience so that they'd buy the remasters.
Into a series that started out with Spyro.
I was okay with Spyro's redesign, but I'd honestly be hurt if they don't have plans for Spyro remasters as well. It's just not right.
>>341667105
That perfect sync with everyone. I was hyped up, and then hopeful that it's not just the remasters, and then I felt my heart and everyone else crush when they said Skylanders
You guys I'm really fucking depressed.
Crash and Spyro were so cool but they'll never return because their devs are cunts and don't care about them. These remasters aren't a return, they're just a raping of his decomposing corpse and the Skylanders shit is just putting it all on shameful display.
But the worst part is when they all inevitably flop, they'll just pull a Capcom and say "Well I guess we'll just put it down for good since no one was interested". We're forced to either eat shit or watch our loved ones die.
Should I just end it now?
>>341677134
>"b-b-but muh concept art!"
Still not what Crash has actually looked like from PS1 all the way to I think Crash Tag Team Racing.
They did the exact same thing with FF7 remake, just wait until next year where they'll announce a new Crash game by a not shit developer.
>>341677115
DISAPPOINTMENT
DISAPPOINTMENT EVERYWHERE
What's the word for when you laugh on the outside, but you hurt on the inside?
>We want a new Star Fox game!
>EW THIS STARFOX GAME ISN'T FUN AND I DON'T LIKE IT IT'S SHIT
>WE WANT A NEW CRASH GAME
>EEEEW HE'S IN ANOTHER GAME SERIES
You cunts should be happy that Crash is still getting games and appearances. Megaman's been in the shitter for how long? And Bomberman's been in Video Game limbo for eons.
>>341678554
So ratchet/clank for ps4 was rape too?
give it a chance anon.
Lets wait for PSX to see the remakes.
>>341678675
emptiness.
>>341678781
>WE WANT A NEW CRASH GAME
>EEEEW HE'S IN ANOTHER GAME SERIES
So, in other words, people wanted something, and then were unhappy that it didn't happen?
You really can't pretend a Skylanders appearance is the same as getting a full fledged Crash game, right?
>>341678554
Naughtydog cares about Crash, they just don't have the rights to him. There's an old quote where they talk about how bummed they are seeing Crash in the state he's in
>>341677115
>Spyro gets to be in a fucking cartoon
>people fucking complain
You know how many video game characters had a decent cartoon? Mario? Link? Donkey Kong? Sonic? Pacman? Spyro's joining the big league.
>>341672301
He meant you can play crash first in skylanders, then in remasters
>>341678972
It's a fucking start. Like Megaman's involvement in Smash Bros. Just be thankful people fucking remember Megaman and Crash.
>>341679014
You're referring to the original co-creator Jason Rubin who doesn't like the current state of crash. And he hasn't been with naughty dog in over a decade at this point.
>>341672909
fyi, you can upload webms

I don't care about Crash and even I felt the sting.
>>341679623
Dat booty
I'm actually surprised they didn't do a Crash trilogy remaster sooner when they were pumping out a bunch of them for the PS3.
>>341667223
Yeah everyone cheered when Crash we being spoke of.
Then when they said he was gonna be in Skylanders everyone lost their smiles.
When he announced they were gonna remaster the first 3 games no one gave a shit.
Sucks, cuz I really wanted Crash rebooted.
Oh well, now I have to shell 75 bucks on a Skylanders Starter Pack for some Crash.
>>341678619
well played
>>341668068
Then play the same fucking game again then, fuck.
Some others would like a new game and YOU can stick to the same fucking games.
>>341667105

I'd rather the Remaster happen first than a new Crash game where nobody understands why people like Crash in the first place and they fuck it up somehow.
Kinda like Sonic 4.
>>341674450
Except I would've loved a remastered Conker
>>341680285
>wanting a second remaster
>>341680231
Thing this is new industry "remaking" the games as they see fit.
Everyone shat on Ratchet and Clank, yet the people like I who never played the series enjoyed it and saw the movie.
That allowed me to buy the previous games cuz I wanted to follow series before the reboot.
If Sony can pull off Crash the same way then maybe, but I doubt Sony pulling off a modern Crash.
>>341680015
>and everyone had shit taste because FFXI was the god-king of MMOS
What's the point of being god-king of the shittiest genre?
>>341678824
It's different with Ratchet and Clank because their franchise isn't even close to dead. Crash hasn't seen a good game since Twinsanity.
>>341680503
I dunno.
People seem to go fucking bonkers about fighting games and MOBAs, and they're pretty shitty too.
>>341669974
yes
but they will no doubt have unrealistic expectations from it and want call of duty money from an exclusive remaster of old platforming games
>>341680495
A bad crash remaster doesn't render the previous Crash games as obsolete.
A shitty new crash is shit forever.
>>341672301
>In between.
Not a remake, but not just "hd"
Brand new textures. The best comparison would be Zelda WW HD. Except Zelda WW wasn't changed much because wasn't as old and it had cell shading art style.
You don't know that. On one knows shit until actual gameplay is released.
>>341680719
>fighting games
Literally the best competitive genre. Don't compare it to MMO shit.
>>341674450
Not even remotely comparable.
>conker only gets featured in a shitty level creation game that got discontinued THIS year as a shitty level pack
>brought back again for a bastardized redesign in a tech demo
As opposed to:
>testing the waters with full fledged remakes? remasters? the terminology is really muddled and we wont know until they show gameplay
>and a minor cameo in skylanders as a guest star to drum up interest with kids
Main difference being that it almost seems like Conker was being set up by Microsoft to fail in the first place.
>>341680495
People hated the R&C remake? I can't even imagine why beyond the writing just being alla round worse than the original, it was like a "best of" when it came to weapons and mechanics. Though i do missthe weird almost useless weapons like the taunter and the walloper.
>>341682751
/v/ hated it cuz it wasn't true to the story, Nefarious being the true villain, weapons from future series, and it taking out all the jokes.
![3af274b4dc[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/chq93BW.png "3af274b4dc[1].png")
In that moment we all knew that feel. Normie, Beta, Neckbeard, Chad, Stacy.
We were all one.
>>341682287
>it almost seems like Conker was being set up by Microsoft to fail in the first place.
I'm guessing with Conker it was more that they wanted to use an established property to get people interested in some new, non-established things.
Naturally that failed since they seemed to have no real interest in actually bringing that property back or doing it any justice, they were just using it as a tool to make people look at shit like Spark or Hololens.
>>341677809
>>341677115
Why did they make Spyro retarded?
>>341684451
he's special :)
>>341675104
Trophy list includes:
> 100% Crash 1
> Do the Brio Bonus Rounds (not needed for 100% so barely anyone ever did them since they were so fucking hard)
> Get all the Platnium Relics in Crash 3
>>341685240
Only thing that gets me is 100% Crash if they don't fix the save system
>>341685452
Save system just made beating the game annoying because you couldn't quit whenever you wanted without losing multiple levels of progress. It didn't make 100%ing the game any worse because you had to do each level getting all boxes without dying to get the gem, and you got to save once you did get it.
I really hope they don't change anything, EXCEPT letting you save at the map screen. The game won't be any easier, just 1000x more useable.
>>341686337
Sure I'm not saying make it more casual.
Just let us save at the end of the level.
We don't get all the boxes? Well let us retry the level.
