Am i the only one who has noticed this?, the original one(s) look far more colorful and contrasty. The remakes almost look like you're looking at them on a poorly calibrated tv set in comparison, there are a few exceptions like that underground level with the green gooey fluid, but in the open i am not digging the washed out color palette.

I hope that they could at least add some optional "colorful filters" or just straight up fix it.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Looks good to me

 

[Merchandise]

To me it looks like more a case of PS1 version being way too dark.

 

[disappeared]

You mean a tropical setting isn't supposed to be bright and colorful?

 

[gablekevin]

yeah ps1 looks way to dark

 

[Fj0823]

Looks great to me.

Are you seriously expecting a 1:1 transition? Might as well stick to the originals

 

[brandonh83]

Funnily enough the original looks darker and more washed out to me.

 

[Nanashrew]

I think we need some experts to fix this like all the Zelda photoshops.

 

[Heckler456]

Doesn't look washed out at all.

 

[MattKeil]

Looks more like they fixed it to me. The PS1 games were always muddy and too dark.

 

[K.E. Keith]

The PS4 version is definitely more "washed out", but that's probably owed more to updated lighting engines/shading. In this day and age the washed out look is just sort of an inherent part of HD remastering it seems. It's disappointing, but I'm not all that surprised.

 

[bigboss370]

brighter doesn't mean washed out

Looks fine to me. Looks better.

 

[Reversed]

Even the sequels looked less dark. That set a different mood on each other.

 

[disappeared]

The left side of that screen makes it look cloudy, like it's about to rain or something. Crash needs to get his rubbers on.

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Does washed out mean brighter on as a graphics technical term?

 

[Ivan 3414]

It definitely looks washed out.

The PS1 games had a weathered look to the jungle locales. Everything looks way too clean in the remakes.

The sterilized look to the N.Sane Trilogy makes it look like an Unreal Engine fan project.

 

[Phu]

Anyone else dislikes Activision's current love for washed out color schemes?

EDIT: I can't believe you made another thread like this.

 

[TyrantII]

Saturation and white balance look great to me. What's the issue?

 

[Replicant]

WAT?

It's the other way around. The PS1 version looks too dark for me, as if they were trying to hide the blemishes and jagged edges.

 

[UpUpDownDown]

I'm seeing some dark darks as well as lights, and saturated colors.

Nope. Looking great.

 

[MugiwaraCole]

PS1 the clear inferior version here. In everything.

 

[Putenrupfer]

Serious question. Since most of the colors in the remake are either green or red. Could it be possible that you are color blind, op?

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Almost as washed out as all those Nintendo games!

OP, you're killin' me here.

 

[astrogamer]

PS1 looks more washed out to me.

 

[nynt9]

Where is that PS1 shot from? The game doesn't look like that.

 

[Vanguard771]

I wondered this in the last thread. I'm colorblind and most things are much less saturated for me than those around me.

 

[ambar_hitman]

Yeah PS1 version looks too dark.

 

[artsi]

The left one: extreme contrast and saturation resulting in burnt colors and crushed blacks
The right one: looks good

[ArtHands]

I actually prefer the remake one. The classic look too dark here

 

[pixelation]

It definitely looks washed out.

The sterilized look to the N.Sane Trilogy makes it look like an Unreal Engine fan project.

Yup, it looks too sterile... almost like the OG Crash was set in a real jungle and the new version is set inside a theme park.

I'll concede that the OG looks a bit dark, but the new version looks way to desaturated and way too light in comparison.

 

[plainr_]

C'mon man. That comparison is bad.

 

[Aurongel]

Umm no.

The image on the left is both too dark, too contrasty and way oversaturated.

 

[theaffection]

Is that Crash PS1 screen in the OP an emulator shot? Looks like it

 

[Merchandise]

Yup, it looks too sterile... almost like the OG Crash was set in a real jungle and the new version is set inside a theme park.

This argument I might be more interested in hearing/discussing than OP.

 

[Ivan 3414]

Anyway, OP, you're not alone.

I came across this video a while back and it pretty much sums up N.Sane Trilogy's issue. The look is off, the sounds are off, and while I'm still looking forward to the game, it still seems like it won't be at all superior to the original trilogy.

 

[UpUpDownDown]

I always remember the game looking more like this.

The orange of his body looks especially messed up in your pic.

 

[vypek]

Where is that PS1 shot from? The game doesn't look like that.

Yeah I definitely don't remember the game being that dark. Seems like the image is off.

The right photo seems too bright for me. Somewhere between the two is what I'd like.

 

[Schopenhauerian]

Some discussion from previous threads: one / two

Exactly, the temple architecture, the beach sand...Everything looks like it's made out of clay. It's simply not true to the original games.

Thank you for this.

Agreed, i mean look at the color in the boxes... the coloring/texturing on the ruins in the OG game look more like real ruins (pixelated textures and all) when compared with the (plasticy/artificial look of the) new ones.

 

[jooey]

can't you just demand 60fps like a regular insane gamer?

 

[Jack The Nipper]

it's looked bad since day one we were just too excited to see it on reveal

 

[aadiboy]

Is it an UE4 game?

 

[UpUpDownDown]

Exactly, the temple architecture, the beach sand...Everything looks like it's made out of clay. It's simply not true to the original games.

Well this is a remaster of a really really old game. It's bound to look different.

I mean, you can count the pixels in the ps1 version lol.

can't you just demand 60fps like a regular insane gamer?

LMAO.

This, far more objective.

 

[bananafactory]

I feel like everyone uses high dynamic contrast on their televisions when they say things like this or HDR content look washed out because the colours are more natural

 

[BY2K]

What is up with you and washed out colors?

 

[Blackleg-sanji1]

Glad my nostalgia glasses didn't survive these long years because this remaster(whatever it is) looks leagues better to me

Thank you for posting that, i found this within one of those links... tell me if you don't see the difference. Props to PaulloDEC

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.

 

[UpUpDownDown]

That's fucking rambling bro.

Those posts prove shit. Quick Google seach shows the caputures are all over the place.

Plus the improvement (???) Sucks. Learn what washed out means.
