Yeah some of the sound effects really bother me. I dunno if Naughty Dog could have assisted them in making higher quality sounds that match the originals but its a nitpick.
Ah okay, I hadn't read the Blog post yet.
Honestly the rest of it sounds pretty good. But that chomping lol.
You are not spoiled, you are delusional.
Comparing a remake with a remaster, come on..
Though also insomniac has the advantage of 1. Ratchet and Clank being a PS2 game with most of the animations being of decent quality comparitvely and 2. Being the same kind of developer that made the original game in the first place unlike VV not being the OG devs of the first 3 crash games.
I'm personally fine with these changes minus one little thing, make crashes spin more cartoony to where you can't see his hands....it just looks weird when you can tell the model is just litterally being spun with some slight "whoosh" animations going around it.

This game looks really good, especially the environments, remastering the PS1 trilogy seems like a great way to reintroduce Crash into the public.

Holy crap, I gotta say I wasnt expecting it to look this good. The game looks so damn fun. And $40 means its a day 1.
Why would you think that? Did you sleep through E3

In the announcement they never said exclusive, or even appearing first on ps4. Even for the stupid skylanders appearance they emphasized first on ps4. This is a multiplat for sure, which is good. Expose more people to Crash.
Yeah, Acti is both developing and publishing the game. It's a timed exclusive at worst.
Well, not quite. I think they're actually subbing in a version of Crash with four faces:
Likewise. Artistic choices are up for grabs, but I think technically it looks really good.

I'd have to go dig up my old assets, but yeah basically they would've had to start from scratch. The sounds and music if memory serves were stereo 44.1/16. I think they could've reused that stuff if they wanted to, but maybe they wanted to re-record for 5.1 surround if they didn't have the original masters?

With all this retro and nostalgia with Sony lately, it would be nice if they went the extra mile and brought back the colored PS logo for future box art.
And maybe even give us special reversible box art that resembles the original ps1 versions, just slightly upgraded for games like crash bandicoot remastered and FF7 Remake.

it still looks weird, focusing on the arms makes it look like again that they're just spinning the model lazily when before it was just a solid spin color.
The spin animation could use more work TBH. Looks primitive.
If anything, the spin should be a smear. Like this:

Activision remade Goldeneye 007 for the Wii and released HD versions a year later. They own the IP, they can do whatever they want.
"Uh-oh"
Crash spoke in the intro.
The opening cinematic does look pretty good though.
He says uh-oh in the original game too.

One thing I'm curious about; I wonder why this is not a Sierra-branded game since Crash and Spyro came from Sierra/Vivendi.
Geometry Wars 3 retained the branding at retail:
Would've been cool personally. Then again, Mind Over Mutant and Dawn of the Dragon were last second re-branded as Activision games (box only, I don't think the code even mentions Activision, they weren't in the logo intros to my knowledge).

That's not new. He has always said Uh-Oh in the intro :V
I dunno, I think I like the arms being visible because it actually demonstrates what the hell is going on when Crash "spins" into an enemy. It's kinda like the way the low-res sprites in the original Mario games didn't make it entirely clear that Mario was punching blocks rather than bopping them with his head.
Although honestly, I think after seeing that animation a few times it's going to become so mundane that we'll quickly stop noticing.

Man I didn't remember him speaking at all in the original game. But it has been such a long time since I have played through the original Crash.
Funny how they made Crashes girlfriend look less helpless in the remade intro too. I like it though.

If anything, the spin should be a smear. Like this:
thats what I meant, you can't see crashes arms in that so it feels a bit more cartoony.

Actually, they do have higher quality sounds. Or at least they should.
All the music in the originals was recorded at higher quality and then made to fit within the PS1's hardware. An example is this boss theme.

This is actually Vicarious Visions fifth Crash game. So they do have experience with the character and the franchise.
Crash Bandicoot: The Huge Adventure - 2002 - GBA
Crash Bandicoot 2: N-Tranced - 2003 - GBA
Crash Nitro Kart - 2003 - PS2, Xbox, GCN, GBA and mobile
Crash Bandicoot Purple: Ripto's Rampage (companion game with Spyro Orange: The Cortex Conspiracy) - 2004 - GBA
They mostly developed Crash games for the GBA with the exception of Nitro Kart. But they were also working on another Crash project in 2012 that was cancelled. I have a feeling that it might have been scrapped for this reboot of the original trilogy as well as a Skylander's tie-in.
Overall, Vicarious Visions is not a bad choice to hand off development to.

I guess because they TECHNICALLY managed to get access to the original level geometry and this game's level art is built on top of those, but yeah. It's a remake. Everything else is done completely fresh. As Dan Tanguay says in the blog post --
and as I've said a million times on GAF since E3
It's about how I expected it to look and I'm really happy with it so far. I guess we'll see Crash 2 and 3 stuff in their own trailers.
Also I trust Vicarious Visions based on their previous Crash work including the GBA games which were not only nice games but they captured the feel of Crash.

Sweet. Looks like Crash doesn't babble, even in the cutscene. The "uh oh" was a little peculiar, but much much better than "Doo doo blagaha"

I really like the way Crash looks in this. Looking forward to it.

It's okay for people to have different opinions. There is no need to belittle them.
