itโ€™s a terrible emulates version of the games, why anyone would buy it on pc is crazy. There were no changes to it, itโ€™s just gex on a shit emulator

The ONLY thing the Trilogy has going for it is the analog controls, which genuinely make Gex 2 and 3 so much more fun to play. I'm so fucking pissed at how shit this turned out despite knowing exactly what would happen.

The switch version is the worst of all, it looks worse than the ps1 version. Enter The Gecko deserves better as one of the most underrated 3d platformers

Idk about that but the level design is definitely different and a lil ahead of its time but also confusing. Like the one space level in enter the gecko, I feel like nobody would follow the path for the first remote because it completely goes against your instincts as a gamer.

Hope someone figures out what they did for the analog controls and just applies that to an emulator like Duckstation.

Yep. Pisses me off they didn't upscale it though, when emulated the games look so crisp compared to this. Hopefully someone mods it.

I would literally have excused everything else if they just implemented some FUCKING upscaling options. The widescreen is nice, the analog controls are awesome, and the extras are cool.

I refunded it and decided to pirate it instead. If they won't even put in the bare fucking minimum effort then they don't deserve my fucking money.

Still can't overstate how awesome the analog controls are, though.

I know. It was a struggle playing through the games. There's some kind of fucking color banding or dithering or some shit going on that makes the game look like absolute dogshit. And that's not even a resolution thing, that's just whatever fucking retard settings they have enabled on the emulator.

That's the only reason I got it, widescreen was a side bonus. I replay these games every few years & every time I do my patience for the movement dwindles a little more.

The analog controls alone turn Gex 2 and 3 from being 6/10 games to 8/10 games. Shame the audio is so fucked and the game looks like shit.

they didn't add analog controls they just cut out turning animations and shortened the walk->run timer
in my day, we called that soulless, not an improvement

The turning animations are detrimental to the controls in the originals. They make Gex feel wide and unruly to control. Getting rid of that retarded turning radius instantly fixed most of the issues I had with the controls.

The walk->run timer being removed is also a massive fucking improvement. The walk state is a detriment to literally everything you can do as Gex. Your jumps are shorter, your air speed is massively reduced, and you can't tail kick. There is not a single moment in the game where the walk state is more useful than the run state.

Calling bad controls "soulful" is some serious retard shit, Anon.

Yes they fucking did you retard. The original games only allowed you to move in 8 cardinal directions. The Trilogy allows full 360 analog control.

Stop being retarded.

I planned on buying this when it was announced but after seeing how shit they handled it I just put them on duckstation. I already replayed through the first 2 and just started on 3. I think they are still pretty fun, and I get why child me loved it so much. I think the third game is weaker and the constant awkward flirting with the live action lady still makes my stomach turn. The anime channel is my favorite level in the whole series though.

The voice lines are not what I have a problem with, Anon. The audio is fucked in such a way that the stems/tracks of the music are constantly cutting in and out, like they're fighting each other over audio balance. It's like the emulator can't process all of the audio properly so it just bugs the fuck out. It's especially bad on any level that has a ticking timer, where even sound effects like jumping and tail whipping won't play.

I can forgive you for being retarded since I didn't indicate this in those posts, so I'll be clear now. The Trilogy is a fucking shitty release and absolutely no one should buy it, however I DO think people should pirate it and play it just so they can experience the analog controls.

For the record, here's an earlier post of mine.

Y'know, it's kinda wild how fucking good the music is in the Gex games, particularly in Gex 3. So many different genres and styles, and they nail just about every single one.

Like, goddamn. Gangster TV theme is a fucking jazz masterpiece.

It's fucking beyond me how anyone could be excited for this considering Tomba Special edition came out beforehand and it was the same game but with a slightly worse soundtrack, for some reason normalfags think every remake/remaster is gonna be on-par with Crash N.Sane Trilogy or something
