The original composer WANTED to work on this remaster but Activision never got in touch with him! Despite him still having the masters for the original games which sound better than the PS1 console versions.

Small nitpick: the boxes are paler than they should be.
Besides that, everything looks perfect.

Oh yea I know that, but it's really pathetic how far they'll go to desperately prove that they're "right".

The only thing I BEG Vicarious Visions to update are the Wumpa Bounce boxes in Crash 1+2 from only giving one fruit per bounce to three fruit per bounce like in Warped. I've always hated freezing the flow of the game to bounce 10 times for the 10 fruit they contain, even back in the day. The Warped change was great, and feels like one of those retroactive tweaks to 1 and 2 that would be greatly welcomed.

Looks fantastic! Day 1 for sure
Yep. That must be why Crash Bandicoot constantly tops the top download list on psn month after month.

Looks fantastic. They really did a great job, this is how a Remaster should be done.
This is exactly why I love the graphics, late 90's game CG was what people thought games would eventually get to in the next gen, never really happened as designs went more realistic

Looks beautiful.
Their attention to detail surprises me. The movement seems spot on.
Thought I was happy just to stick with the originals but I'm curious to try this out.

LOL using GAF as metric for success.

Isn't faster if you just say you're not a fan of Crash. It's identical to the original in almost every way. This shouldn't be a realization you're having 19 years later.

Looks awesome, can't wait to play it.
Gonna put my neck on the line here, I reckon this game will do some serious numbers.
From a purely anecdotal point of view, whether it's just nostalgia or not, this remake is making waves in places I absolutely did not anticipate seeing it do so. I genuinely believe this is going to be a big surprise success.

The game is getting a consistently large number of views on facebook videos.
The game is gonna sell well imo. Can't wait for it.

Yes, now let's get a Crash/Pizza Hut commercial again! Maybe a reimagining of the Crash commercial where he's outside Nintendo but he could be outside Microsoft this time.

It looks incredible. The music is on point, too. So excited! Crash 2 was always my favorite, and this is one of the levels that really stuck with me.
I'm surprised at how faithful it seems to be gameplay wise. It looks like it will play exactly the same as Crash 2, which is understandable since that game is one of the best platformers ever even today.
Not feeling the graphics though. Something is off. It's lacking the charm of the original, it needs to be more cartoony,

Yep, I think it will do quite well and especially so over time. People can sleep on Crash all they want.

Followed by what looks like deliberately killing themself after getting the diamond.
It's the fastest way to 100% that level. Killing yourself after getting the race gem in order to go back to tart for the box gem is slightly faster than beating the level and reentering it. Of course the guy in the video didn't have the blue gem so it didn't matter.

The death after grabbing the gem, ahaha. Love that the first footage of this comes from a player who clearly played the original to death. That's a legit speedrun tactic.

- One Facebook upload of the original trailer is sitting pretty at 9M Views
- The release date trailer has 1M+ on FB
- and check out those share counts tho
- The top upload of the original trailer has 2.5M on Activision's account on YT, 1M+ on PS
- It's maintained a high position on best seller lists on Amazon
- NeoGAF N. Sane Trilogy threads usually hit around the 400-600 post range, which while not "MEGASUPERHUGE" is definitely not niche
its all exclusivity arguments
I mean, "VIEWS =/= SALES" but it's hard to come in here and say "it's not moving the needle" or "it won't sell lol"
i mean fucks sake, the upload of this on PS's FB is already up to almost 500K and it's just a gameplay video lol

I can't wait for this game to come out so I can replace 3 entries in my Top 20 GOAT games with 1 entry in my Top 5
CTR will probably remain #1 regardless
Yesssss oh my god, I felt like the main song was a little overdone but the Skull/Gem Route theme is perfect
This is one of the few games I've seen people I know that are not into games talk about on facebook.
The color of the boxes are all wrong.
Why are they so bright?
Their darker color tone was fine.
lol
IGN Uploaded more footage, BLUE GEM PATH: https://youtu.be/rJDgKzwXIz0
Nice! Glad to see more extended Crash 2 footage. Random nitpicks: not a fan of the crate breaking sound when on the jet ski (I know much of the original audio was unusable), and the giant flytrap plants don't look as menacing. That said, those are just nitpicks; still so happy this is actually coming!
This right here. Even at my workplace (a hospital), I'm hearing conversations about Crash every time new information comes out.

Looking pretty good overall, but yikes, I hope they're not done with the warping-in animation.
Yeah, there are bizarre decisions with the animation and character model. Sometimes he looks great (results screen/cutscene crash). Other times he looks like an uprezzed Wrath of Cortex model. I'm starting to think they should have stuck with the Skylanders version inspired by the original drawings, versus trying to match 1:1 the original character model that only had 532 triangles. Sometimes simply upping the geometry doesn't help.
vs.
Just for comparison's sake.
Either way, not a huge deal. I'm sure they'll be tweaking and plussing things till the very end, and I'm happy to be getting this at all. I seriously crave to play this remake almost everyday.

Not feeling it, wish they had an HD original asset mode and really hope they will give an option to original music/sounds. Not liking what they have in place.
Art style and look just feels way too off for me. Seems like they messed this one up as far as what I would want.
Crash should look more or less the same with a bit of a bump in poly count. Enemies and crash should have a flat basic texture style to them and would look amazingly better.
Artististically the original looks better, better color range and art etc Even the electricity in the warp has a better feel.
