Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy Trailer Shown at PSX

This is not Crash.

Why mess up with the character animations and art direction of the game!? damn you activation you had one job

Animations, graphics, and motion blur are absolutely on-point. This is looks like very high quality remaster.

Well, I played SM64 and Crash for the first time each a couple years back and I think Crash aged waaaaay better. Holds up really well.

I love Crash but sm64 even today its a better game imo.

The remake looks fine, small budget projecto that seems to maintain all what made the Originals good. Hope it controls the same. Will buy for sure for the nostalgia value.

Seems like all this footage was form crash 1. Do you think they just aren't finished with the others, or are they going to pull some shit where only the first is a complete remake and the others are just up-ressed.?

You actually think that would ever happen? LMAO

At the risk of being that guy on the internet who boosts up the colours and contrast on a video to make it look how he thinks it should look, here's me doing that:

Fingers crossed the final product looks a bit brighter/bolder. The footage shown looks kinda drab in places, especially in some of the outdoor areas.

OK, the trailer made things look kind of amateurish, but after seeing gameplay footage I'm more than sold.

I look forward to release where everyone finally realises these are middling platformers that do not hold up well.

I look forward to release where everyone realizes Crash 2 is one of the greatest 3D platformers ever made

i don't want to poop on the parade and fans will love them but maaaan those levels look rough, much worse than i remembered. Appart from the nostalgia factor, they just don't look great, there's so many good plattformers out there that run circle around Crash. I wish they just made a new one instead, or tweaked them a little more.

Honestly think the original looks much better.

Honestly think the original looks much better.

And that's perhaps why they're doing it. Maybe the subtler palette is what people prefer in 2016.

One of the things that I remember Crash for is how bright and colourful it was; I mean, look at my avatar. That orange is almost radioactive.

It's already too bright in areas. The problem is color saturation and just wrong coloration in places. Crash was a bit more firey orange, for starters. The stone pillars were more aged looking. They should look like ancient ruins, not like someone made them yesterday.

Got to play the demo today at PSX and walked away impressed. It felt good and looked great. Cannot wait to play the full game.

real shame they didnt have collectible cards at their "booth" like many other demos.

Glad that younger people and kids are now going to be able to experience the controller throwing, mind numbing pure rage of that one stage in Crash 1, you all know the one.

Also i want to see what they have done with Crash 2 and Crash 3, which are WAAAY more varied in environments than crash 1 was. So far we have only seen footage of Crash 1

I kinda like both. Yours has that poppy, cartoon look to it, but the original brings out a crazy, realistic look. It's actually kind of odd and awesome at the same time. I do like what they've done more, but totally get where you're coming from. You can probably just adjust your TV settings anyway. This is going to be great...I believe.

There's a lot of odd choices, especially on N-Sanity Beach. Loads of fog that wasn't present in the original, much lighter textures for stonework (it's generally a darker colours in the original, greeny-blues, browns and tans), all of which is accentuated by a more realistic lighting model.

Honestly, it's probably something I'll get over pretty quickly. I'll always have the originals, and I'm sure the new game will be great in its own ways.

I do find the changes interesting though, especially when areas like the factory look every bit as bold and vibrant as I remember the original being; perhaps even more so!

Since these games are using the original level geometry from the original 3, it's going to be amazing to watch a head-to-head comparison video of both versions.

I feared they'd shit on the design, but no, it's fucking perfect. They updated Crash's design exactly like I'd wish they would.

Can't wait to play this in 4K, wow!
