The thought just occurred to me that since we're getting time trials in the first two games, that means time trials of Sunset Vista and Slippery Climb...

Up a Creek and the other River levels are going to be the worst for Plat Relics. The lily pad cycles are on a global timer, so starting the trial at the wrong time is a guarenteed fail.

In the N. Sane Trilogy, the bandicoots' ears point in the direction of any sound they hear. D'awww, I guess Zootopia's raised the standard for animated cartoon animals.

[up]I wonder where that cutscene is from. I see Crash and Tawna still in Cortex Castle, presumably before Crash is subjected to the Cortex Vortex.

It's two seperate clips from the opening cutscene, which has already been released in full online.

Ah, now I see. I just rewatched the opening, and I recognize their placement. I didn't before since the shots are more zoomed in than usual tongue

Hey guys, 2 things:

1) If Activision still owns Crash Bandicoot, how come Sony and Naughty Dog's Uncharted 4: A Thief's End was able to have a Crash mini game without having to mention anything that basically said "Crash Bandicoot is a property of Activision" in U4's credits?

2) If/When the N-Sane Trilogy sells well enough, how likely would we see a "remake plus" collection of the original 3 Spyro The Dragon games?

1) Good luck looking for a truly concrete answer without going out of your way to ask someone at Activision itself. They most likely got in touch with Activision and the lattter said "sure, it's just an easter egg, no big deal". Naughty Dog also still has the code for the original 3 games. I mean, I don't see any lawsuit or something.

2) Maybe, who knows?

I'm pretty sure Sony And/or Naughty Dog still owns the rights to the original trilogy. its why they could rerelease it on the Playstation Store without crediting Activision.

I'm afraid I can't explain myself, sir. Because I am not myself, you see?

1. My guess is it's a Spider-Man: Homecoming-type deal between Activision and Sony.

2. I would sacrifice a human baby to Satan if it got me a Spyro trilogy remake plus.

https://gamerant.com/crash-bandicoot-n-sane-trilogy-release-date-leak/

According to this, the release date is...wait for it... FEBRUARY 28!!!

Mind you, I agree with the author of the article that there's room for skepticism about the release date, since it would be ridiculously close to the initial reveal.

You'd think developers would learn to space out their releases, since releasing against competing games kind of hurts your profits.

I guess they just want to get it out while the hype is still high? Dunno, I'd have thought they'd have shown more in the trailers I've seen (which are admittedly not many) if they had more they COULD show.

Hopefully, it's not a case of ramping up hype when they're intending to delay it. That's just being rude.

We've got a new interview by some of the staff from VV!

Stuff of note (summary taken from Reddit, with some additions by me):

  • built within the Skylanders engine (and apparently the engine has a super sweet cloud engine), though they're doing their best to keep to the signature Crash style (in their words, Zany and somewhat gritty)
  • Sony directly provided VV with original level data/geometry from Naughty Dog, meaning Sony is actively involved to some extent
  • still studying adaptive difficulty, crate/jump mechanics/physics
  • ability to invert Y axis controls on vehicles, 'use of the shoulder buttons'
  • boulder speeds were hand-tweaked to match original levels as opposed to 'math' (not sure if this was discovered before or after the trailer footage)
  • MAYBE adding new death animations
  • development team has 'creative freedom' to add/enhance/embellish wherever they see fit
  • many discussions were had with regards to how to modernize Tawna (and her Crash shirt seems to be permanent)
  • the story will not change with minor additions and Easter Eggs
  • cutscenes have a little more flair
  • THEY ARE ACTIVELY MONITORING NEOGAF/REDDIT (MENTIONED BY NAME)

Sorry I'm not posting here as much. I kinda migrated to the Crash Bandicoot reddit since it's way more active.

New screens from Crash 2

Gotta say, seeing the Crash spin in a freeze-frame makes him look like some kind of biblical horror
