So I was bored and made my own "what should Crash look like in HD".

I also drew in toon outlines because why not?

And here's a comparison with how the current game looks.

explain to me why activision is publishing this and not sony? any other reason besides activsion owning crash? chances of this coming to xbox1?

Activision own the rights, so there is a chance (even if just a small chance) that we could see this trilogy on XB1, PC and/or Switch at a later date.

I'll ignore the use of "Naughty Gods" (I really dislike that term) and say that I prefer the N. Sane version. The colours blend together more in your style.

...is it blasphemy to hope this comes out on the Switch?

If it goes multi-platform I could see it happening. If only because Activision could see some decent sales from the Nintendo fanbase because of the genre.

I think that must look quite different on your monitor, because on mine Crash is basically a red blob in a pit of radioactive green plants with massive jet-black shadows.

Sorry!

Oh boy, is it Photoshop time already? I like this game.

Removed the color filter too, because it was bothering me.

They need to atleast give us a classic crash skin, just ask ND to hand over the Uncharted 4 model and edit it a bit and import to this.
 
it looks too clean. loses the texture of the original, now looks like a cheap low budget cartoon.


see the darker mossy look in the original here, feels like a real jungle. compare to the pristine rolling stones in the new one and the bright lighting engine. meh.

LMAO

It's a little much, especially on Crash. A lot of the stonework has a piss-filter look to it, when it should be more green/blue.


And as said above, the colors blend together too much, when the opposite should be the case (one of the N. Sanity version, but perhaps exacerbated here).

I want that and a Skylanders skin TBH

just go all out and give us various skins.
Wombat crash
Ps1 Crash
Skylanders Crash
Skylanders cartoon Crash
Crash Landed Crash
Twinsanity Crash
PaPu Papu minion crash
WOC Crash
Nega Crash
CTR bandicoot girls
CTR Crash
Guy in costume Crash
CNK Crash
Bash Crash
Ripper Roo
Fake Crash
coco
Tawnya
Cortex
etc.
etc.
 
I know it might be a tall order (40$ price point already is a great surprise, can't demand much more than we are getting) but it would be cool if VV sprinkeled a few completely new (secret?) levels designed by them.

they don't even have to try hard, there are a handful of unfinished crash levels that have been found. They should try to finish them and add them in.

Stormy Ascent certainly would be a really nice addition.
It's nothing people wouldn't beat in this day and age anyway.

It looks good to me. I only ever finished 3 I think. It would be nice to replay the whole trilogy again with modern tech and visuals. It's hard to go back and play them now.

I whinny my fervor lowly, for his length is not as great as those of the Hylian war stallions
I guess I had low expectations?

This looks good! It's on my buy list now.

Guess I expected just a cleaned up trilogy remaster, not a full blown remake.
 
Some of you need to stop throwing a temper tantrum everytime some developer decides to reimagine a classic in not quite the same way as you imagined it in your head, it looks great.

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.

Mario controls a lot better but I much prefer Crash's style of level design these days.

Because they own the rights to Crash Bandicoot. Also its possible that it could come to Xbox One and PC if there's demand for it and because its new code. Remember, Activision remade Goldeneye 007 for the Wii and released HD versions a year later on PS3/360.

Now you could say that the Crash Bandicoot fanbase is heavily slanted on the PS4 because of its PlayStation heritage, but its entirely possible that if its a big hit, it'll come to other platforms, including the Switch. Wrath of Cortex came out on PS2 months before the Xbox and Gamecube versions despite there not being a fanbase for it on those systems for example.

Whatever it takes to get a similar remaster going for the Spyro trilogy as well.

Best wishes.

I haven't seen much in the way of tantrums here. The people who have issues with the look are being pretty civil about it.

looks like a UE4 fan made game. Not looking good at all.

I understand where the criticism comes from, but like... how different from this could it conceivably look?

Count me in as thinking the new art looks a bit too "clean." I'm still hyped as hell to have classic Crash on a modern system, but presentation wise it's not really what I had hoped for.

Now if Acti would give an option to toggle between the original and remade graphics à la Halo anniversary (yes, even if the original would still be in 4:3), I'd have no problems with it :p.

It could use a bit more color, lacking vibrance in the trailer but that could change.
Either way I'm happy that we're getting this game and not just Crash 1, but 3 remasters.

Looks great. I have my reservations about today's non-Nintendo audience embracing this type of gameplay, but at least I know I'll enjoy it immensely.

I think it looks great. I'd guess most people want to play something that looks somewhat modern and not like a 20 year old game.

Price is pretty good if you consider they could had released them separately for $15 each and they require much more work than the PS2 on PS4 classics.

PS: "most of Neogaf" =/= "most people".

But then it wouldn't be NeoGAF if we didn't spend years begging for something to then moan about it when we get it.

All we need now is Crash Team Racing

This would be incredible. The best kart racer can't be left to rot on the PS1 and Vita. Just spruce it up a little like this and we are good to go. Add multiplayer
 
Alright, I think I can get on board with the new artstyle. Some nice touches in there too, like being able to see that the bounce crate holds multiple Wumpa fruit.

Edit: wait, why are there chomping sounds when Crash picks up Wumpa fruit? Why did they change the bonus token sound?

As is hinted at in the PS Blog post, most of the assets from the originals are pretty unusable by today's standards. Sounds included. The ones that did hold up quality wise are used.

All of you motherfuckers who demanded.....demanded the chance to revive the Coot had better fucking buy this.

It's looking really good, the trailer is climbing higher than most Activision YouTube videos do in years overnight, the majority of the word of mouth seems to be good, the price point is $39.99, and it's been trending all day. I think it'll probably do alright.
