Yeah helps me make up my mind: the design of this Crash 4 is disgusting, no wonder it's Activision and not Jason Rubin/Andy Gavin who gave them their blessing.
This team doesn't know shit about Crash Bandicoot except for the few mediocre mobile games they made, Crash Bandicoot design is amazing and a very specific blend of late 80s/early 90s trash cartoons, 90s retro tiki/coffeehouse design and classic 90s neon 3D lights.
Instead we got this awfully disgusting, tasteless and uninspired mix of post-apocalyptic pastel, black&white socks punk crap that has been bothering me in Rage 2, Farcry 5.2 etc...urk.
