We at Vicarious Visions love Crash, and we’re super excited for everyone to play the N. Sane Trilogy. But we can’t fly everyone out to Anaheim to play it in person, so here’s a peek that answers some burning questions. And the biggest question everyone keeps asking us, “Is this a remaster or a remake?”
The answer is not simple.

It’s practically impossible to make a traditional remaster of the original Naughty Dog games. They’re roughly 20 years old, and technology has advanced significantly in that time. The original code and assets are nearly unusable. Nearly.

But we don’t consider this a remake. We know how much you all love the original games, so we didn’t want to fully remake them. The N. Sane Trilogy is a remaster plus.

The first step in our remaster plus was to truly understand what made the Naughty Dog games special and why fans still love them to this day. The best way to understand a game is to play it, and boy, did we play the Crash games. We played them to the point that we broke controllers from mashing the jump button too much. We studied original concept art and commercials for inspiration. And we went even further back to understand the material that originally inspired Naughty Dog, including Who Framed Roger Rabbit? and Looney Tunes.

Some screens from the trailer:

 

[Nicky Ali]

I love Crash's model in this, looks so much better than his Skylanders appearance. The rest just looks... a little bit off to be honest. Colours for environments aren't quite right and some sound effects just have less of a punch to them. Also, what's up with that in-game HUD font? Hope it's just a placeholder.

Like, it's so obviously low budget. I trust Vicarious Visions to make a quality Crash game, but I'm worried that they might not even use the original soundtrack.

EDIT: Nevermind, they confirmed the original soundtrack. Phew!

 

[Hippolnareff]

Looks really nice, imo. Most footage from Crash 1 though so expecting staggered release.

 

[N.Domixis]

N.Domixis is ready.

 

[Guymelef]

Seems like not exclusive.

 

[Hektor]

This is looking fantastic!

 

[jacksepticeye]

A lot better than expected

 

[LordKano]

It looks awful, like a fanmade or something like that, wtf Sony.

 

[prwxv3]

So I guess all the crash fans having a meltdown at E3 should be happy eh.

 

[goldenpp72]

Looked beautiful, crash model was kind of weird and it looked sort of slow, but it looks great otherwise.

 

[Eolz]

It looked pretty bad. Cheap budget I guess.

 

[Vinc]

This is the goofiest thing to ever make me misty eyed

 

[Santiako]

Looks really really bad. I'm still buying it though.

 

[Tizoc]

The graphics are so clean and shiny.
Why are they so clean compared to the original PSX graphics :/

 

[PLASTICA-MAN]

Now I hope they do a real Jak And Daxter sequel or a good reboot from Naughty Dog.

 

[MUnited83]

Those graphics look a lot like the fan-made demo in UE4

 

[OldRoutes]

The graphics are so clean and shiny.
Why are they so clean compared to the original PSX graphics :/

What do you mean?

 

[Dark Cloud]

It looks so weird.

 

[fernoca]

Crash looks the same but with fur. So much for the ones thay expected Activision to redesign it. XD

 

[GIANKRATOS]

Not gonna like, i shed a tear.

It looks sono good!!!

 

[Machina]

So 90's and what more could we want

 

[robotrock]

The graphics are so clean and shiny.
Why are they so clean compared to the original PSX graphics :/

hahahaha

 

[tesqui]

Never though I'd be hyped for a crash remaster, but here I am.

edit: lmao at all the criticisms you guys suck.

 

[Cid Highwind]

God is real

 

[Jigorath]

Not really a big fan on the artstyle. Lacks the grit of the original games.

 

[prwxv3]

It looked pretty bad. Cheap budget I guess.

Anyone expecting a huge budget for this were delusional. It's pretty crazy they are giving the games a full remake in the first place and not just a port with better resolution.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

It does look rather sterile, but I still really like it. And I will buy Day 1.

 

[TRUE ORDER]

I thought it looked good.

 

[Harmen]

I think it looks good, don't know what people where expecting.

 

[Omnistalgic]

"It looks really really bad"

"So so good, it's beautiful"

??

[Frillen]

Artstyle is horrible. Looks fan made.

 

[Mariolee]

Artstyle is horrible. Looks fan made.

What? That looked incredible.

 

[Stereogatari]

Yes.

 

[komplanen]

It looked worse than I'd pay for. Technically I'm sure it's a nice product but it lacked the art style that the original had. Or maybe this is just some weird uncanny valley type thing.

 

[Foxxsoxx]

Pics please at work!! O:

 

[Nimby]

Is it a straight remaster or a re-imagining? Hoping for some original content :\

 

[digitalrelic]

Looks fucking awesome to me. Great game to play with my daughter.

 

[Kaswa101]

God is real

.

 

[Elixist]

will buy, crash model is kinda meh to me tho. i thought the rest looked cool.

 

[AGoodODST]

Wow that looks really underwhelming. That's a shame.

Though maybe people more into the series will appreciate it way more than I do. Cool they are remaking them anyhow.

 

[Empty]

it looks too clean. loses the texture of the original, now looks like a cheap low budget cartoon.

see the darker mossy look in the original here, feels like a real jungle. compare to the pristine rolling stones in the new one and the bright lighting engine. meh.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Wow that looks pretty good. Nice smooth graphics and art.

 

[Kikorin]

Looks like a fanmade mod for UE4.

 

[ClayKavalier]

It really stands out how cramped the levels are when everything else looks modern.

 

[Instro]

Artstyle is horrible. Looks fan made.

Looks like Crash always has to me lol.

 

[Nicky Ali]

"It looks really really bad"

"So so good, it's beautiful"

??

Neogaf

It's almost as if the people on NeoGaf aren't a hivemind that think exactly the same way.

 

[Ruud_Luiten]

The graphics are so clean and shiny.
Why are they so clean compared to the original PSX graphics :/

Something is wrong with the lightning / shadows..

 

[UberLevi]

Wow, this looks awesome. I love this.

 

[Sub_Level]

His movement speed is very slow. I do like the environment; looks fantastic.

 

[spindashing]

yeah bOOOOYYY
