Who is the 'they' in this instance? Activision's previous remasters have been lazy & shitty.
Good god, this is it! I knew there was something I found slightly off about the visual style, and you've just summarised why! Is this the cartoony visuals version of Uncanny Valley?
Yeah, I'm not sure why the trailer is 60 fps but all the gameplay we've seen is 30. Not holding my breath for a 60 fps option (which it really should have given that this game can't be too CPU intensive), but it would be a nice surprise.

From what I've seen so far, the level design and gameplay is almost identical to the original. So I'd consider it a graphical remake, but overall a game remaster.

I think this looks great. I wasn't the biggest fan of the first 3 Crash games (CTR and Crash Bash were lit though). Nevertheless, I'm glad I live in a timeline where these games are being brought back. Hopefully this game's inevitable success leads to other PS1 era mascot franchises like Spyro being remastered.
Only 1 fps huh?

Yup, it looks amazing and it makes me happy that it's the best selling video game on Amazon (germany) for several days now.

It needs more ripples and darker tone, that's still a thing on some maps/videos it seems.
Like in some videos it matching the original 1:1, where else in other videos it looks too bright/washed out.
They did a great job though with remastering this, it stays true to the original in ways I didn't expect it to.
The mango's or whatever it is seems a bit floaty and don't disappear fast enough on the screen, like it's lagging.
That video was ace @ OP (beside my issues with the game/videos that I listed above).

It's the Jaguar CPU
I'm super pleased that they seem to be staying so faithful to the original. This is exactly what I want when a game gets remade. That it's happening to some of my absolute favorite games from my childhood has me very excited.
This kind of shit is so sad. I'm so thankful I don't have this mentality when approaching a game I want to play.

I'd play it.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
Crash has died of dysentery.
Jesus Christ.
So the first game was probably the first game I played (or at least owned), never finished it, only saw the late levels with cheats. Looking forward to going back and playing it througj properly.
How are the other two games by comparison? I'm curious to see how they'll play without having touched them in the past.

More variety, more story, and challenging levels, although not as challenging as the first game. I remember the last two worlds of the first game being brutal.
Between numerous pieces of legit 60fps gameplay and the various evasive things that Activision/Vicarious Visions employees have said, I'm putting money on a framerate-unlocked PC port somewhere down the line.
I still think there should be three terms to choose from for this stuff.
Remaster = You're taking the original work and polishing it up to look as good as it can.
(See: Jak and Daxter Collection)
Remake = You're recreating the original work using modern art and techniques.
(See: Crash N-Sane Trilogy)
Reimagining = You're taking the idea of the original work and using it to create something new and significantly different.
(See: Ratchet & Clank 2016)

Is there any word on PS4 Pro or HDR support? This thing is gonna POP on my TV
Guess you must have hated the original crash trilogy huh.
You'd be surprised how many people said "wait, the original games were 30 fps?" when this was all announced.
The other two games are much more popular than the first one and for good reason.
Tho I could imagine people liking the first game a bit more in this remake since they apparently did away with one of its most frustrating design decisions, that being the save system

I like the looks but still hate how the wumpa fruits still take forever to go to the counter (unlike in the original games), and the water. Water looks shit, especially from the pyramid stages on their Crash 3 previews. Otherwise yeah, it looks top notch.
Yup, the devs have talked on numerous occasions about the amount of tuning that went into getting the analogue movement feeling modern and correct.
Sounds great, they really seem to be treating these games excedingly well.
It's really frustrating that Activision chose to call these "remasters" just because it's the more popular buzzword, because they're evidently remakes and yet you get people comparing this to the Uncharted trilogy in arguments about how Vicarious sucks for not making them 60fps while Bluepoint nailed it in that collection.
I mean the graphical update is insane, these look great. You don't get that by just replacing textures and adding lighting.

Will never understand how this kind of blatant shitposting is even allowed here...

Overall it looks okay but the colour grading is wayyy too warm. Also the realistic water doesn't suit the cartoon everything else, it just looks flat.

I forgot but wasn't Warped the first Crash game with analog control? I forgot how he played back then since I still used the d-pad.
Yeah the water really bothered me. You should check out the egyptian stage demos.

This. Like why is it so difficult to comprehend for some.
My brain was hurting reading through the SotC thread with so many people calling it a remaster.
I think a specific version of Crash 2 had analogue support added.

It's only 60fps in the clips from 3:45-3:50.
When it comes to Crash, everything is serious until proven otherwise 🤔
Hey, sorry I brought common sense to your sacred childhood favorite game.
If you don't think the original needs improvements why aren't you playing them now instead of waiting for this? Those 30 fps needed as much upgrading as the 320*240 resolution and lack of texture filtering.
And the original PSX is even emulated in high rendering resolution in this video
Look, some of us are excited for this and looking forward to playing higher quality versions of the original trilogy.
The game is done and pretty much shipped. It's not going to change so there's no point in running around in a circle about what we want or wish for.
It is what it is now and there are quite a few of us still excited.
It's not a hard concept to understand.

I meant Naughty Dogs properties in general i guess
In retrospect it was a bit misleading
From memory I think Crash 2 included analogue movement, though I'm sure someone here will correct me if I'm wrong.
It makes the official messaging with the N-Sane Trilogy all the weirder. I can't imagine what kind of strange legal requirement was put in place to prevent people from just calling the thing what it is.
I want to play these games at 60fps as much as anyone (I'll certainly double-dip if the games make it to PC with that functionality) but as always, let's not pretend that games like this are less than playable at 30fps. It's a perfectly acceptable framerate for a console game in 2017, regardless of genre.
So wait, what would you call the Jak and Daxter Collection on PS3? Do you not draw a distinction between games that have been polished up versus games that have been entirely rebuilt from scratch?
These are very factually not the old games, as they include an abundance of completely new features.

Purporting your opinion as 'common sense' is outright stupid. Just because it's 30 FPS doesn't mean it's a bad game - it's your opinion, not 'common sense'.
The 30 fps in the originals isn't so bad since it's not compounded by nauseating motion blur like the remake is.
