CRASH BANDICOOT: THE THREAD

Morally, it would've been interesting for N. Brio to end up as a Meta Knight sort who had his own agendas - some of which are nefarious - but could do good if he had do. From what I remember, he just kind of defaulted back to evil in Twinsanity and never broke out of it again.

Didn't they say they wanted to do a brand new entry in the series if The remakes sell well?

He was silent minion for N.Tropy in Twinsanity...then went back to working with Cortex.

I wonder how people would react to Crash Bash being remade as a Mario Party clone... The minigames are already present, so the real work would have to go into the board gameplay.

Crash Bash doesn't use or need a boardgame layout, though. Its thing is that it has seven game types with four variations apiece, and they're accessed via a Crash 3-style warp room (in the campaign mode, at least). What would a boardgame part add?

The boardgame part could replace the relics, which acquiring was a dick move (seriously, what average gamer would win two to three times in a row?).

Are we allowed to talk about our own experiences with the originals? If we are then I'm gonna go hurl myself off the nearest cliff because I am a FUCKING IDIOT. I decided to re-record some footage and commentary for my Warped playthrough that didn't come out right, and said footage happened to contain the purple gem path for Tomb Time. What's so bad about this, you ask? Well, the problem is that I did it on a separate file... one on which I did not have the purple gem yet. And I only learned this fact when I approached the purple gem door and it did not open... while I was recording.

I'm just glad that you don't have to get all the gems without dying in the remastered version of the first game.

Also, Sunset Vista, Cortex Power and the Dark levels can go fuck themselves.

My bro bought this I'm really looking forward to Friday! :) i really like the new N-Tropy, but I hope they make his boss fight a little harder.

I am intrigued to what Generator Room will look like... *shudder*

The brilliance of this remake knows no bounds.

ROLL THE CHEEESE.

Wait there was a glitch like that and this new touch is fucking brilliant.

Huh, that's the first I've heard of this. Is it in any other boss fights or just Tiny's?

This Crash ad reminds me of this Nintendo Power interview with him.

So some reviews are claiming the game is "hard" and "like Dark Souls" and I'm just simultaniously groaning and laughing, somehow.

Or am I just a weirdo who doesn't suck at platformers???

If we are talking about some of the levels in the first game, i can understand. The physics and some of the platforming were very hard for me. While i did 100% the first game, i still suck at breaking all the boxes in the first level

But supposedly the first game was made less frustrating in the remaster.

Indeed. The box counter doesn't reset to zero if you die. You still have to go through specific levels without dying to get Colored Gems though.

I think reviewers don't go for 100% though?

Hell, the Gamespot guy stopped each game halfway through.

Seems a bit unprofessional.

have you tried Stormy Ascent? :P

No and i don't plan to.

Slippery Climb was already a pain in the ass to begin with.

A lot of the negatives I'm seeing in reviews are people bristling at the difficult linear platforming, and stuff like the chase levels. But since Crash has always been the equivalent of a non-on rails runner game, I keep getting the feeling that the problem is that gamers aren't used to it any more moreso than it really being a problem on its own per se.

That said, I do wonder about the future of the franchise, if they're going to use this as a springbeard to make an entirely new installment. I had a conversation on another thread recently about how platforming styles like Crash's are difficult to make full games out of these days: maybe the next installment of the series should be something along the style of Twinsanity.

Thank you based Vicarious Visions for leaving in the Road to Nowhere rope cheat.

Stuff like that really show this rerelease to be a labour of love.

All I really remember about the first game was never getting past Sunset Vista.
