People do realize fog is a thing that happens in real life, right? Mist? Haze? Fog? A lot of N.Sane's environments would have a misty haze in real life. And it's obviously too thin of a fog to hide anything behind, so I doubt it's anything done for technical limitation reasons. It would be one thing if you were seeing pop in and thick fog in a bright sunny open field, but in a moist hot jungle, you're gonna get some humidity, to say nothing of a snowy cloudy day.
I wouldn't even bother trying to explain this to people that do nothing but complain about stuff like that tbqh

The only D2 hyperbole crew are the people saying it's God's Gift To Gaming.
Crash Remaster looks awesome

It really is crazy how big and prolific Crash was.

It goes on.

No need for console warrior bs. It looks washed out for sure in some levels. I plan to buy it because I love Crash 2 and never got very to play 1 or 3. They've made strides graphically, but it still looks off in places.
Never knew Crash 3 had a bazooka, looks like it might make parts too easy. Is that the point of it?

You get it very late game and the game introduces challenges it can't subvert. It kind of punishes you to play the way they do in that Polygon video because as I'm sure you know from Crash 2, there's kind of a "flow" to playing Crash and the bazooka brings you to a total stop, which is less satisfying. I personally only use it in the required places.

I wish this included CTR.

this is insane. It's not a remaster, its a remake.
the graphics are blowing my mind.

If there's any justice in the world, the N. Sane Trilogy will sell really well and kick off a new Crash golden age, beginning with a fully-fledged remake of CTR including online multiplayer and the potential for new content as future DLC.

And then a new CTR with a Fast and the Furious-like adventure mode

Yeah thats good to know. It looked really disruptive to the base gameplay.
For anyone who missed them, we've got little clips of both Aku and Uka in the wild now, which offer a chance to both see and hear what they're like in the N. Sane Trilogy. Uka Uka (who I think might be voiced by John DiMaggio this time?) sounds suitably gravelly, while Greg Eagles' Aku Aku captures the spirit of the original nicely.
I think people are generally fine with sensible criticism. I'd say it's more like this:

It was great for shooting the time trial clock to get a head start on a run.

Sony should have never let the Bandicoot go. They had their own Mickey Mouse who was in the hands of a legendary studio (and still is to this day).
At least now he's back home.
They never owned Crash to begin with so I don't think they had much of a choice, sadly.
They should have tried to get the IP when things went down tho. Maybe the IP would be in a better shape than what it was years ago.
I fully expect CTR to be remade should the trilogy sell well. Unfortunately, however, there'd be no chance of it going multiplatform as the original is the one Crash game Sony owns (I have a PS4 myself, but many others don't).

Man I wish some of the people previewing this game would just shut up. Like I want to hear the music and sound effects. You telling me what you're doing as you're doing it isn't helpful.

They said they're gonna be E3.. What more could they possibly reveal?
They did hint at multiplayer stuff before. Would be cool to have at least leaderboards

Literally the only reason I prefer MK64 is that it supports bot fill-ins for multiplayer cup races whereas in CTR it's just you and your friend/s, which is presumably a shortcoming Vicarious could tackle with a remake.

Well, only Naughty Dog game.
Crash Bash is part of the same agreement between Sony and Universal back in the day, so it's possible there's two.
There may be new features like maybe new playable skins/characters or there are some new levels that they made themselves or maybe Stormy Ascent has been polished up and is part of the game/accessible from a menu in the game etc.
Or what I wish for, preorder numbers are so good that they already greenlit a CTR remaster and are going to announce it at E3.

I have a small dream they reveal a Sonic Adventure 2 style 2-player race mode for every stage. Crash vs Coco.
Or maybe a co-op mode.
They've already gone above and beyond, this would just elevate the entire collection to god-status.

Hidden levels possibly happening? Hype!
Found this full Double Header from IGN, no voiceover at all, and even plays for the box gem.
Still uses the bazooka though to get by,

This looks like a competent remake of the Crash trilogy to me. The colours are a little too pastel and muted for my liking, I actually preferred the higher contrast look of the original game. But otherwise, this looks like the developers are taking some care to get this right.
As others have said before, Sony never actually owned the rights to Crash. They were originally owned by Universal Interactive, which was a division of Universal Studios. A french mass media company called Vivendi purchased Universal Interactive and gained ownership to the Crash franchises along with Spyro. They also owned the Sierra back catalog of games as well as Blizzard, which were all housed under Vivendi Games.
Activision and the Vivendi Games division pulled a coup on Vivendi and merged into a new company under the name Activision- Blizzard. This allowed the newly formed Activision- Blizzard to have the most shares in the company and break free from Vivendi and take all of the Vivendi Games properties with them. Crash has been owned by Activision since 2008 .

I would be very (pleasantly) surprised if Stormy Ascent was in this.

Holy shit extra content that's badass.
As is the case with 1-3, Sony owns Crash Bash, too. Presumably, CTR fell outside the scope of the publishing arrangement and was self-funded by Sony.
I'd love to see Stormy Ascent.
Really hope they find a way to include it in the final game.

The death animations have been executed to perfection!
This remaster is looking godly so far.

Seeing how well MK8 has done recently, I can't imagine CTR isn't coming.

I played this at my local bestbuy and was less than. Impressed with the graphics honestly. Controls felt pretty sluggish as well. I don't know if it's because I was all of 3 ft from the screen or what, it just felt bad to play.
I loved the originals and played them religiously when they came out, so I am really hoping they mail it, but I have some doubts now...

Just wanted to post these side by side.
Amazing if this does well i hope even other companies do remaster (remakes) like this.
Never played the crash ps1 games but the remake/remaster looks so well done i just have to play it.
Amazing how much small detail is in the original PS1 version even though things only appear from a certain angle for a few seconds, take the flashing neon sign opposite the other N-Core one that's only seen for a few seconds which is missing on the remaster, or the blue window lights on the rectangle rounded building in the far distance, which are not on the remaster.
I know it's nitpicking but really just goes to show how much Naughty Dog threw into this level, and they wanted even more, original plan was to have flying highways below or above the paths but they couldn't get that to work on the hardware, would've been nice to see that attempted in the remaster.

It's the latter. Even as far back as PSX there were noticeable differences between builds:
