Thread 713842029

Is the remake trilogy really worth playing for $4 on Steam? It feels very boring.

just play the originals

>90% percent off
What the fuck are are Microsoft/Activision planning

>>713842886
Are the originals even worth it though? I don't think the game has aged well. You can't move the camera, controls are loose, levels are as linear as an infinite running mobile game on the iPad, and the designers really expected you to punch every box you see in the map and then circle around to collect every little thing. There is nothing to explore and discover because you can't move in 3D or even move the camera, and it is nothing like Mario 64.

Right is beta, unfinished footage

I was about to buy it, but then remembered I'd rather play the originals.

>>713843162
The originals play better than the remake, since their movement is snappier and collision detection is more precise.

>>713842029 (OP)
$4 isn't bad if you are so lazy that setting up duckstation is too hard or if you are too baka to find ISOs.

As far as remakes go they're not horrible (despite buttmad toys for bob employees trying to get people to hate them as much as Crash 8)
There's some aesthetic downgrades since the devs are actively fighting current engine tech to make them.
I'd mostly recommend skipping relics in Crash 1 and 2 since they weren't designed for them.
Mostly I'd recommend not buying them since you're giving Activision, and, by extension, Microsoft money.

>>713842029 (OP)
If you'll do all the stuff (gems) then yes, you'll probably get at least 30 hours out of it, more if you plan on doing the relics and don't look up strategies in 3
And what this anon said is correct
>>713843956
Relics in 1 and 2 aren't bad but holy shit was it obvious the levels really weren't designed for them

And just pirate it

>>713842029 (OP)
Yeah its worth 4 bucks. They never fixed the technical issues with the framerate (45fps when windowed lol).

>>713843049
They see the money Sonic is pulling in with merchandising and they hope they can do that...Without releasing new games.

>>713842029 (OP)
never ever play remaster slop

>>713843956
>>713844142
To clarify on my post
>I'd mostly recommend skipping relics in 1 & 2
Is about if you think the aesthetic downgrades are not a deal breaker for them
Not buying it because it's now owned by both activision and microsoft is a dealbreaker for me, and why I wouldn't buy it for a friend.

>>713843049
Maybe getting ready for the CTR rerelease

>get stuck on that one long bridge level just like when i was a kid
dropped, left a negative review too

You know, if Crash 4 was actually a success (it wasn't), Crash 5 would have just been moved to another developer after Activision fired all the Toys for bob staff.

That said, who should be developing Crash 5 right now? Who at Activision Blizzard Microsoft can do the job?

>>713845327
give the IP to sega, they can fix it

>>713845327
>who should be developing Crash 5 right now?
VV/Beenox.
Their only major stumbles were lazily dropping Relics into crash 1 and 2, and not evaluating that the reserves systems probably shouldn't be in vanilla Online VS.

>>713845398
Nevermind how that wasn't the question, but Sega isn't a developer. And I don't think Sonic Team give two shits about Crash.

>>713845771
>but Sega isn't a developer
Technically Sega itself has developers in addition to the various subsidiaries.

>>713845839
But which Sega developer could handle Crash? Nevermind that the IP won't get sold and you still got the question wrong, name an actual development team.

>>713846192
>Got mad about me bringing up that Sega itself has game developers, as in these people aren't on one of their development subsidiaries
>Name a subsidiary
Just to fuck with you.
Rovio

You can't have a "Crash 5" anymore. The "Crash 4" game has made the brand too toxic.

>>713846789
Just pull an uno reverso and release an actual Crash Bandicoot 8.

>>713845327
>spyro crossover
Didn't they already do this and nobody gave a single flying fuck about these games?

>>713846789
Do they have to take any story canon so seriously just to make a fun platformer around the classic mechanics? Like I don't think so.

>>713847110
I'd say two barely related GBA party games with a 2D platformer stapled onto it barely qualifies as an actual crossover

>>713847129
>Do they have to take any story canon so seriously

Unfortunately, yes. Unless they do a complete reboot, that'd be one of the carryovers from Naughty Dog. Even the Titan games held consistency with the earlier games (sans the personalities).

Ironically, not like Looney Tunes where everything is a stage and the characters are just actors playing their parts.

I bought Spyro trilogy and Crash trilogy on the sale, which should I play first?

>>713849172
Do you want something you can sit down and play quick or something more committal?

>>713849172
Crash you can pick up and play for 5 mins but the downside is those 5 mins can become extremely autistic especially with how precise some jumps are
Spyro is way easier through the whole game but you should take time exploring a level so you need to be more committed
so up to you
oh and don't play crash 1 first, it sucks ass even in the remaster play 2 then 3, spyro do 1 through 1-3

>>713842029 (OP)
controls like shit
outta spyro 1 medievil 2
crash remake just feels shit and jank to play

>>713842886
fpbp
2 is best in trilogy

>>713845771
sonic team cant even make a good game

>>713846516
Based Rovio. Crash 5 gonna have angry fruit crates, time-slow powerups locked behind premium spins, and weekly Nitro challenges with leaderboards full of bots. Honestly? Might be a better direction than whatever the hell that multiverse mask plot was supposed to be. At least the bird noises would drown out the voice acting.

>>713842886
fippy bippy, only upsides to NST are the time trial leaderboards and manual saving in 1 (which really isn't a problem unless you're a huge scrub)

>>713845173
I can't keep waiting for this game to rerelease. How likely is a PC port 6 years after release? Does this happen often?

>>713842029 (OP)
Is this from SRB2?

>>713849172
Crash remake is better than Spyro remake

>>713842029 (OP)
Yes, it's the best way to play three of the greatest platformers of all time. It is an extremely high effort remaster that is clearly from passionate devs that loved and respected the originals.

>60fps or even up to 240fps compared to 30fps with drops of originals
>extremely low input lag

>time trial relics for all three games
>leaderboards
>can restart time trials right from the menu
>includes a warp at the beginning and end of Crash 1 map to save time going back and forth
>also fixes that the second island goes left instead of right, which just always felt awkward when moving through levels
>added true analog controls for Crash 1
>added a run to Crash 2 (this can be a bit of a double-edged sword as the time trials in 2 are designed around something that was never a part of the original level design, but honestly it works well in most levels and is a nice optional addition)
>box counts for both stages and bonus levels for all three games
>bounce boxes only need 5 bounces instead of 10
>cut levels and even some new ones added (and they're some of the best)
>No annoying Crash 1 save system, makes 100% way less tedious
>improved hitboxes and physics (yes, the pill shape shit and sliding off platforms has been fixed for many years now)
>can play as Coco
>artstyle is hit or miss, but it definitely has its own charm and looks great even if it lacks some of the edge of the originals.

I would still recommend playing the originals too though as they are very charming and still hold up great today.

>all these dozens of brilliant changes don't matter because this one stupid minor nitpick

>>713853864
Yeah.

>>713854320
>Doesn't name the changes

>>713854351
They did a good job at making their own subtle artstyle

>>713846789
yeah i was struggling through crash 4 but seeing this cunt was the last straw

>>713845327
Theres nobody around to make competent AAA games for longstanding franchises. I would say let Crash die or hope some level of talent or understanding returns to the brand but thats a false hope. 4 was fucked the moment they attached TFB to it.
>>713847110
That game sucked cause it was all minigame and vehicle garbage something both Crash and Spyro were notorious for.
