theyre usually a great way to get into the mood, and if Im watching multiple episodes its a good time to use the bathroom, grab a snack/drink, etc.

Insanity was based on already existing levels, they just spruced up the graphics and re-created them. Handcrafting 100 (or 80) levels from scratch is an entirely different beast.

No question, but were also dealing with a far larger dev team than Naughty Dog circa 1998. It can very well backfire Im not denying that, but I dont think this is quite as ridiculous as you all think

its not whether the PS4 can handle it or whatever, its whether the team can create that many levels of a certain level of quality

Those levels were designed over the course of years of development time for three games

not churned out in one or two years for a single game

Im sure 100 levels is bound to have a few duds dont get me wrong, but its not like there isnt a pretty standard template as to what makes a Crash level. The developers have to have a pretty good idea of what works and have studied such past levels.

I mean, how many levels did stuff like Sonic Mania or Super Mario 3D World have? I actually dont know and if its far lower than 100 I can see more of how it would be an issue. I thought one of the recent Rayman games had about that many

I mean the N Sane Trilogy has about 80 levels overall

its not crazy to think that a PS4 game could handle 20 more of roughly the same quality. This game has serious Activision money behind it, especially given how the N Sane Trilogy has continuously been one of their highest selling titles for 3 years, I see why theyd go all in with it.

Taco Bell is unique. It isn't Mexican food. It is Taco Bell. When you want Taco Bell, going and getting nice Mexican will not scratch the itch.

Pizza Hut is mediocre chain pizza. You don't get Pizza Hut because you want Pizza Hut you get Pizza Hut because you want pizza and Pizza Hut is the cheapest/most convenient.

By "100 levels" they probably mean like time trial mode and shit too.

I dont see why that would be the case, none of the previous promotional materials for other games have labeled the time trial mode as such. The fact that were even referring to it as a mode rather than levels makes that not make sense to me

I think the only fudging with the number here is perhaps the boss levels

Lool we're talking about a crash game here aren't we?

not that the switch shouldnt be able to handle it, but I have heard the game has over 100 levels, and its for sure the highest budget title the series has ever had

Wtf, no Mr. Krabs original VA?

Clancy Brown does regular video game voice acting work FFS, dont tell me they couldnt get him in for a SPONGEBOB game lol

to be fair, the Crash Bandicoot games cant get him back to play Cortex, I think he actually is a pretty high budget actor

The lighting looks like, non-existent in the game

Im really not a fan of the excessive amount of bloom either, and the character animations can be really stiff, even in comparison to the original.

I dunno. I wanna enjoy it because I love the original game but to me this just seems so clear it was made on a budget. When you compare this to the recent Crash, Spyro and MediEvil remakes especially I just feel like this was a miss. The added content looks really nice though.

I remember now. they said Wrath of Cortex was wiped out and I thought that was crash 3. that's why I guess

I never was into the crash games and didn't know all the game names. for some reason I thought Wrath was crash 3

not to be mean but I would maybe look stuff like this up before making a whole topic about it lol

Have they done a multiple dimensions story in crash yet?

thats what this game is gonna be

Why would 3 be retconned when the game is named 4

the real question is the later titles being retconned or not, which the developers are hinting theyll show up as parts of alternative timelines in the multiverse in the game

Haven't read anything yet but is the main complaint that it's just the same game with better graphics? Cause I'm totally okay with that

also, I really question a bit when people say it has better graphics at times

ive seen some comparison pics between the PS4 and PS2 games and theyre not always worse but theres far too many cases where the PS4 version has far poorer lighting, less detail, stiffer animations and questionable changes in regards to the color schemes of certain levels.

idk like its cool theyve added content but this is the only game in the recent remake trend that has really appeared to me to NOT improve on the originals visuals, it feels kinda low budget at times. Like idk on principle it just doesnt seem like it accomplishes the goal of a remake to me

---

sigless user

Tbh its pretty easily the poorest remake Ive seen visually as of late

the original game itself was solid though so thats still an overreaction of a rating

---

sigless user

Way way prefer this to the stiff, pseudo-realistic look of the remakes

i understand why its visually polarizing, but I think it actually comes closer to replicating the smoother cartooniness of the originals, while infusing the better aspects of the PS2 titles

judging from the interviews and stuff this game has a shitload of content, its gonna be a big game. very very excited

tbqh, it was better when it first came out, before they had a spicy breading, but now it seems the spicy variant just has an extra sauce on it instead.

my location still does the spicy breading?? I didnt know the sauce only was a thing
