It's not fair. How long will his humiliation ritual continue?

Bubsy lives because of dedicated developers.
Crash died because of heavyhanded overbearing publisher meddling seguing into seeing poor sales as an excuse to can it (twice now).

There's been more 3D Crash games in the last 8 years than 3D Mario games.

>>718503532 (OP)
>We live in a world where Bubsy is recently getting more love than Mega Man, Crash, Spyro, & Banjo-Kazooie combined
What the fuck

they all died because investors took over video games and all the higher ups got replaced with people who dont care about video games other than as a vessel for incestuous money regurgitation

>Pac-Man is alive despite the fact that his last good (original) game was Pac-Man World 2 in 2002

>>718503532 (OP)
All those remained with their studio.
Naughty Dog are soulless golems with no talent or passion so they washed their hands off the IP and universal pawned it to the highest bidder.

westerners just don't take care of their franchises

Crash died purely because of activision having too high expectations for a game that was released only on ps4 and xbox one at the same time those consoles were getting successors, even still ending up with 5 million sold as far as we know, on top of killing any and every studio that worked on crash prior to tfb.

>>718505319
>All those remained with their studio.
Well, not exactly. Atari lost the rights to Bubsy a long time ago. Even then, he got two new games under his new master. What's interesting is Atari went out of their way to get the rights to Bubsy back hence why 4D is happening.

Atari, despite their faults, actually care about Bubsy. Sony never gave a shit about Crash.

where is my spyro botw game?

I'm just wondering if they'll actually make a good Bubsy game for once. As for Crash his comeback was doomed from the start by being under Activision.

>>718503532 (OP)
Crash and Spyro died the second they were sold to Activision. They only care about CoD, Blizzard, and occasionally Tony Hawks. Everything else goes there to die.
The brief Crash revival was solely to hold on to the IP rights. Once they figured out they couldn't make a battle pass, microtransaction system work with Crash, they threw him back on the shelf, waiting for him to be paraded out again next decade.

>>718505801
>Atari, despite their faults, actually care about Bubsy
Why in the goddamn

I hope Jak and Daxter stays buried in the grave with ND forever
I don't want that franchise to be sullied by modern vidya devs

Bubsy lives because that fucker refuses to stay down

Hell if I know. Could be they sincerely want to make a good Bubsy game.

When Activision sells the IP.

>>718503532 (OP)
>Bubsy
I thought Bubsy's creator passed a long time ago. That thing is only alive because of nostalgia. I mean back in the day it was kinda revolutionary for having these huge fricken levels with lots of verticality. Like, sure, collecting balls of yarn is incredibly lame and loses all sense of value but just exploring the levels was a blast. I can't imagine Bubsy has any kind of like, gimmick or anything to him that could get the new generation interested in him. I mean he doesn't even collect coins! Balls of yarn and extra T-shirts is pretty lame.

There has not been a good Mario game since Super Mario World. Never cared for the 3D ones.

Bubsy fans play the games and fuck off to do something else. It's simple

Bot post?

>>718518915
Probably not.

>>718519024
Having to play the exact same level 5 times with minimal changes is not replay value, thats reusing the same content and expecting players to not notice.

>>718517928
amazing

Crash died because a bunch of incompetent numbnuts shat all over the franchise and made a shitty platformer that wasn't fun.
Thunderdyke Tawna is only a symptom of the greater issue that Toys For Bob are fucking retards that didn't understand what they were put in charge of.

>>718519337
It's more replay value than any of the other games.

crash is such a tragedy the first trilogy + racing are masterpieces.
Yet the rest of the franchise is just so bad it's unbelievable.

>>718503532 (OP)
>>Mario lives because of quality games
Im-fucking-plying.

>>718518887
It would have probably been accepted if she didn't outright replace the established Tawna. They did nothing with the fact that there are multiple of the same character as they would have different character dynamics given the plot-given reason for her becoming an ass kicker. But classic Tawna didn't even appear.
Thats just shitty writing.

but crash is older. unless crunch is talking about his height

>>718520452
Probably height.

>>718520452
Their ages are never explicit, its not like the mutation in the evolvo-ray was what birthed them. But the dynamic he had in the bandicoots was as the older brother to both crash and coco.

There's a greater percentage of good Bubsy games than there are Sonic games

>>718520640
Doesn't wrath of cortex say he was made after crash and coco? Or at least implied? He was essentially a "perfected" evil crash before joining the familly

>>718520191
But enough about Sonic

>>718508685
>The brief Crash revival was solely to hold on to the IP rights.
Exactly. That's why we get so many disasters like Rings of Power, Ghost Busters 2016, and Velma. Studios need to make new installments of a franchise or they lose the rights. Even if it means shitting all over the fans of such franchises.

>>718503532 (OP)
A sad truth about the industry that no one wants to admit is that IPs die even if they’re successful because a different IP makes more money. Activision-Blizzard makes high profit from CoD, WoW, and Overwatch.

You know it's really fucking strange the Crash Bandicoot comeback renaissance just came and went as it did

>>718521306
People got their nostalgia remakes and were satisfied with just that. Similar things are happening with other series.

>>718503532 (OP)
Crash 4 was a perfectly fine game and fags here acting it was some great abomination convinces me Crashfags aren't real and are just larping TORtanicfags.

Also N. Sane Trilogy art style is some of the ugliest shit ever and people wanting Crash to go that direction is legally blind.

>>718520913
Well yeah. But if you became an XMen right now that wouldn't make you older than your dad if he became an XMen a month later.

>>718521306
They made the classic mistake of redesigning the characters. It was doomed the moment they did that.

>>718509912
panty peek

>>718521306
I'm not, 2 was the only truly great game and it was already going downhill by 3.

RIP CTR though. One of if not the best Kart Racer of its genre and could've expanded on it further.

>>718521808
what the hell did they do to tiny?

>>718522115
He was a Mike Tyson parody in that game for some reason.

>>718503532 (OP)
Crash died because new gamers are weak as fuck. Him returning for three good games (and Crash 4 being as tough as it is) is a miracle considering people nowadays need guides and easy modes for everything. Sure you'll have the Crashfags like me playing the games to 100% or close to that and then the very dedicated ones getting the relics but ultimately he doesn't have the audience Mario and Sonic have

Bubsy is barely alive kek. Calling him "alive" is like saying Duke is alive cause he appears in a shitty Commander Keen game.

>>718521808
What the actual fuck was Radical thinking?
Even for as crass as it is, Crash Tag Team Racing by the same studio, the characters still looked like they were supposed to.
Only Nina in titans/MoM, and Brio in MoM were acceptable

I just want more story driven platformers like Jak. It's soothing to collect everything in pretty locales.

>>718522286
It was meant to be an edgy redesign for the teens. Personally I stick to my conviction that after the original trilogy the best designs are the Twinsanity ones due to how insanely expressive they are, far more than any other game in the franchise. If only Twinsanity was a better game (it's still better than Wrath Of Cortex and most of the later Crash games tho)

>out of touch CEOs trying to cash in on 90s nostalgia
Kek
Nobody that plays the Bubsy game knows him from the 90s. Bubsy was a total failure back then. 90% of nu-Bubsy players are nostalgic if anything for the Jontron review, that's the "Bubsy revival"'s origin, if you want to call it that

>>718522630
No, they bought it for Call of Duty.

>>718522563
I myself am not a Crashfag, which is why I said Crashfags aren't real. As someone that isn't autistic and can see things in a more rounded view point, Crash 4 wasn't particularly egregious.
>100% sucks
Lots of games suck to 100%. Most do, really.
>Not as good as the OG trilogy
Crash 3 was mid and the whole IP really was never able to surpass 2, the only truly great one.

CTR>2>1>4>Powergap>3>Powergap>Literally every other Crash game

I know it's funny to pin crash's failure on nu tawna but what really killed it?
Was it the very different level design? Just suits wanting it to generate unrealistic amounts of money for a game without microtransactions?
Something else?
The game wasn't great but it didn't look THAT bad to me.

Jak and Daxter is objectively better than Crash. I went from N64 to PS2 and playing those PS1 platformers was painful.

>>718523239
>Please listen to my personal standards that

Don't like the IP? Sure, whatever. Make your own shit on your own time.

>>718523315
Gonna rip the band aide.
Crash games aren't as great as nostalgiafags paint it aside for 2 and CTR.

>>718503532 (OP)
No, it died because Activision is stupid and put way too high expectations for it. The remakes, CTR Nitro Fueled, and Crash 4 sold INSANELY well and topped charts and very much made way more than was put in, but it wasn't enough for them. They just saw a live service crash game, that they never even officially released, flopped and that was enough for them to just can the series.

>>718523315
Well, if you really want the long version.

>>718523239
Crash 4 is a good Crash game. I disagree 3 was "mid" (was better than 2 for sure). Really the order is this

NST>3>2>4>Twinsanity>WoC>1 (Classic Crash 1 sucks massive dong and I'm tired of pretending it doesn't)>every other Crash game. This is about the platformers btw, won't count the kart racers or Bash or whatever because those are completely different

>>718523620
>NST that high
>The game that is a uglier and more broken version of the originals
lol
lmao

>>718523315
A proper revival needed to be firing on all cylinders and they fell way too short of that. Especially coming off the heels of how wildly beloved CTRNF was and how fervently the devs did well for fans of the series across its entire lifespan.
To push out a wet fart of a game that openly denounced every single game in the franchise for a cheap joke is a damn bold thing to do when it made many of the same mistakes that the real Crash 4 (Wrath of Cortex) made.
It should have been Vicarious Visions to continue the series, they were the only ones to capture the original appeal during Crash's weaker years in gen 6 and they designed Future Tense, so they demonstrated that they still had it.
T4B couldn't maintain the same quality as the flashback tapes, which were the highs of C4IAT. If they could, it may have been recieved better instead of panned

>>718523887
It's a tough pill to swallow, but Crashfags are cut from the same cloth as Sonicfags, so few of them understand what makes these games good and so many of them are too autistic to be reasoned with.

>>718503532 (OP)
>Crash Bandicoot died cause Activision is brutal
Fixed.

>>718523887
>uglier
Eh, I prefer the artstyle to 4
>more broken
Bullshit. It's far more consistent in its physics engine and mechanics than the others.

Really NST is there because its more convenient than playing the old ones. You get a way better version of Crash 1, you get generally improved physics, you have extra levels, etc. The only bad part is the music but there are patches that add the uncompressed PSX OST that Josh released on his soundcloud

>>718524045
>Crashfags are cut from the same cloth as Sonicfags
I remember threads being chill before the remake happened.

3 was fucking terrible and I will never understand why people like it.

>>718524045
>so few of them understand what makes these games good
Ah yeah, because the people that TOTALLY don't know what makes the games good are the long time fans. By the way check out THE BLUE BLUR.

>>718523570
Honestly if anything I wish we got more Cortex levels. Tawna levels were just the exact same as Crash/Coco stages but with a grappling hook and walljumping

Cortex had mechanics that could have been far more in depth, and playing as him after Twinsanity was nice. Too bad he gets a few random stages close to the end of the game and that's it. Oh and he's the villain AGAIN even though by now we're tired of Cortex as the villain, let N Tropy shine

>>718524170
It was literally proven that the
>Super hard Dark Souls of platforming!!!!
Shit that NST rebranded all of Crash was partially from diffrent physics and hurt/hitboxes not accounting the OG level design not changed with it.

>>718524637

Wait it did that? NST felt pretty easy, apart from obviously muh Stormy Ascent and muh Future Tense or whatever it's not the "Dark Souls of platforming". 4 is WAY harder, notably the more you actually try to 100% it. Those flashback tapes give me nightmares

>>718503532 (OP)
Naughty Dog heads outright said that they have "outgrown" games like Crash and Jak. Sorry, fun is for babies, buy our re-released Hollywood-wannabe linear covershooters with lesbians and trannies for the 6th time.

>>718524304
You clearly weren't around when Titans and MoM came out and there were dipshits here actually saying things like "The redesigns are pretty cool actually" and "These games are basically fun little beat-em-ups, I don't get what the big deal is"

No, seriously. What the fuck were they fucking thinking?

Do yoe REALLY want ND to make a Crash game though?

>>718525861
never said I'm a crashfag you fucking fanboy

>>718525908
That's not the point, the point here is that Crash was abandoned and left to die while the others were not, hence why Crash is perpetually in the shitter.

>>718525514
Well I didn't feel it ngl. Personally Classic Crash 1 is harder because of its shitty save feature and some botched mechanics which were improved later on

4 didn't just double on what NST did, it basically went fully masochistic. NST's hardest levels are somewhat based on timing which is tough with moving platforms or whatever. 4 meanwhile expects you to do timed precise platforming on crates for half an hour with extremely tight jumps and small windows and barely any checkpoints. I understand why 90% of players don't 100% it, it's basically smashing your balls with a hammer repeatedly. And also the shit repetitive stages like the end of every alternate character level or the N Verted crap. Oh and shit like some levels expecting you to go on very specific routes to break boxes further into the level before going back and riding a vehicle. Makes WoC seem exciting by comparison

>>718525007
I'm not so sure about that. He's no longer the Orange guy on this list.

>>718518887

The new designs in Crash 4 were perfectly fine unlike the abominations from Titans.

>>718525761
Threads became more chill (and more sparce) over time but I think IAT and Rumble mindbroke so many anons that they'll never be quite the same again
occasionally comfy CTR/NF threads will get anons to play together at least

>>718525908
ND doesn't do it because they hate Crash
If they actually fought to get him back that would mean there's a new guy in charge of the studio that love fun.
But yea you'd need to fire everyone in charge of ND to get a chance of that happening

>>718526390
Yeah, as long as you don't mention the Candlejack of Crash games.

>>718525009
This feels like an optional minigame that should have been included in Crash 4, just like CTR had all those extra battle modes.

>>718526559
I don't even think mentioning it could be a problem.
The problem is that it's been five fucking years and "people" still
>Try to brute force the opinion that it wasn't actually bad
>Immediately shit all over the franchise when people don't roll over for it
Which you know is ironic, given how fucking egregious it is to have It's About Time immediately follow CTR:NF.

>>718526390
Yeah. I've got a lot on my mind about 4, and I'd like to have a discussion on it that doesn't turn into a heated debate, but that can't happen.

>>718525009
How to make more money from a series that does poorly with micro-transactions. As a remind they wanted to -sell- you the outfits in Crash 4 at first but decided to try to spin it instead of it being 'free' content you could earn, like the 'good ol days' to try to push direct sales more. Of course it didn't work enough for their profit margins.
I'm just glad we got the updated Elora from it, but legit as a game it was pretty jank, and it really just shows that Activision only saw crash as a name to make money from, not to make good experiences from.

>>718505319
Based naughty dog, i have more respect in dev for making a few games for an idea. Wring out everything you can and moving on to something new instead of making endless slop
Crash did not need go past warped and team racing
Jak does not need to be revived
Uncharted could have prob been 1 game smaller
And last of us definitely should have been 1 game smaller

>>718526341
based and true

Reminder that all the flaws of Crash 4 had to do with 100% completion. Gameplay, level designs, power ups and boss battles were all top notch.

>>718528990
Dingodile stages are mediocre, and Tawna stages are actively unfun.

>>718528990
100%ing the game was awful BECAUSE the gameplay level designs powerups and boss battles sucked.

>>718525937
Then your opinions mean even less, retard.

>>718503532 (OP)
You know nothing of pain

>>718528990
Alt-Tawna, Dingodile, and Cortex's stages were fucking awful and should have been cut from the game.

>>718519910
Lol no

>>718523570
One of the best effortpost ever made on this board

>>718525009
They thought it was still the late 90s/ealy 00s where you could make silly mediocre spinoffs of a popular franchise and have it sell relatively well
Not even sonic would dream of doing that nowadays with the notable exception of racing games (which kinda have an overlap in terms of appeal anyways)
It seems only mario can make a baseball game or some shit and have it sell millions

>>718503532 (OP)
This shit is so forced by no more than 3 anons. Crash 4 was great, so much so that another project was greenlit afterwards, and was only cancelled due to partnering issues. They also made a mid multiplayer game after that. The only “problem” with the series is what company even owns it now, and if they want to put enough resources into it again. It’s not a very popular franchise, so while 2 years may be a long time this is plenty of updates for a not exactly super beloved IP.

Say this about Spyro if you want to convince anyone you’re not a butthurt tranny samefag.

>>718528990
The only boss battle that really stuck out at all was the N.Tropy one, and most levels had some kind of poorly designed gimmick section that left most people feeling more relieved that it was finally over than satisfied and reeling to do it again (ex. the Alien Baby T section, most of the rail grinding sections, most of the quantum mask sections, etc)

Wouldn't that mean they're more knowledgeable then, or are these guys the overly snobby, circlejerky types of autists?

>>718533639
What would be unironically funny is if they actually took the time and made a genuinely good game.

>>718533498
Myself and a bunch of people started working on custom tracks around November/December of last year with assistance from the decomp team. Since then; tools, plugins and such have been made to make development easier. Admittedly, progress on the decomp side seems to have stalled and not hearing much but new stuff has been constantly pushed out with increasing quality.
At the stage of having custom characters - just not able to apply custom textures to them yet due to how memory is allocated for that and it not having been solved just yet from what I gatheed.
I'm definitely not technical-minded and don't understand much on that side of things but I've been making the effort to spread the word and encourage further development.
>>718533545
I dunno about that. Looking at things; the game's load times and technical issues probably played a major factor in it's decline - the franchise being gutted afterwards with everyone seeing the signs from a mile away probably didn't help either.

>>718533919

>>718503532 (OP)
Some die and some beg for the bullet.

>>718534943
This, also naming it 'Crash 4' came off as really overconfident given the unnecessary art and level design changes and how little content there actually was compared to the remakes, though I'll admit the flashback tapes were a ton of fun

Jak and Daxter was so excellent because it's just 3 good games that never overstayed its welcome and doesn't really even need a continuation. I legitimately kinda feel sad for people that are so obsessed with the idea that games series' need to live forever in Frankenstein horror in order to be good.

>>718534207
It was. I'll complain about shit like putting 10 boxes hidden outside the camera every stage, but it has some of the best platforming in the series. Like, even Naughty Dog had no clue how to actually expand on the core platforming, and by 3 gave up on it and just filled half the game with vehicle segments. 4 also has the best boss battles by a thousand miles. I loved the art style, it's genuinely the best the characters have ever looked outside of the old PSX promo renders, and people trying to say N. Sane looked better is some of the worst dissonance I've had with the /v/ hivemind.

>But classic Tawna didn't even appear.
she appeared on a pillow on a couch in the bonus round of the first level as a nod to the bonus rounds in the first game, but she didn't physically appear anywhere. the multiple realities thing seemed tacked on mostly because it only seemed to exist to explain why they gave tawna a new design. I guess also for the n tropy thing. One thing they didn't explain was why N Brio was an antagonist when he was kind of reformed to be neutral earlier in the series.

Well, go on then, explain how.

>>718535345
they got this stupid idea that people liked the original crash games for their difficulty. while that is true, the original games weren't really that hard. the levels in crash 4 are only hard because they're so fucking long. one of the levels in crash 4 had more total crates than all of the crates in the original trilogy combined.

not to mention those death relics where you had to beat an entire level 100% without dying. that's just fucking stupid.

I've 100% the game and a lot of those things ARE issues. Some of the levels aren't fun, a lot of the vehicle mechanics are too clunky, and in some places the level design makes no sense. There are enemies in various levels that will throw things, but they don't actually aim at you and just throw them forwards, but the path is so wide that you'd have to be retarded to get hit by them at all.

the stand out parts of the game are the ball levels because that's one of the few original things they did that wasn't already in warped.

My main issue in that regard is that you couldn't sell a game that plays exactly like, say, Mario 64 but with different levels and characters. The shit Nintendo was pulling with Palworld is straight up ridiculous because that game doesn't even play anything like Pokemon even if it's visually similar.

>>718534125
if anything the speedtech in CTR99 is way more gatekeepy than reserves in CTRNF ever were. Both have their merits and a truly ideal game would incorporate both.

Ah. I also still don't get why they bought Rare. The only real purpose behind that was to prevent them from making games for Nintendo, considering how they've been used since then.

>>718523156
it basically is the only problem. they could have had old tawna do anything the new one did.

>>718538467
IIRC they thought they were getting Donkey Kong and could maybe weasel IP law into asserting that they own Mario or some shit.

>>718536006
even before the reboot there's never really an explanation for why Brio reunites with Cortex during MoM, he's just sorta back.
I'm pretty sure that the story they're running with is that only Cortex was under Uka-Uka's thumb, and Brio was otherwise satisfied with having thwarted Cortex's plan in 2. Why he unites with Tropy in Twinsanity is purely out of mutual disdain for Cortex and self-interest in the treasure rumor that quickly spread in the time it took for N.Gin's battleship to get ransacked. No explanation is ever offered as to why everyone has Brio on speed dial, but it's sort of understood that all of the Cortex Commandos escaped the castle after the events of Crash 1 and were found by either of the 2 doctors, and without knowing they were in opposition to each other had no qualms with the directive to attack Crash (which explains why bosses like Tiny would later reuinite with Cortex for 3)
Crash Bash isn't canon so who gives a fuck.

It’s a viable strategy given how important they were to nintendo. Sure someone like sony would be all too thrilled to buy out monolithsoft and do nothing with them if it meant the guys solely responsible for literally all of nintendo’s open world design can no longer work for them

>>718538575
I'm pretty sure that was a joke article from some website that was basically the onion of video games

>>718526371
theyre shit still. crash looks like a fag, coco looks like a psychonauts character, tawna is tranny etc...
>>718537390
she still looks like a painted human and looks completely different when standing next to the other bandicoots in the game so, shit. n sane tawna at least tried looking like an animal and its clear she was designed to be animated and posed in certain ways but no one did it right most of the time which is why the nitro squad got smaller snouts

Crash has 0 consistency to his brand. The clusterfuck of being owned by Universal Interactive, then Vivendi Games, then Activision Blizzard which tanked his IP twice before being bought out by Microsoft. During that time he had no definitive look or style to his games. The only game to really nail how Crash is supposed to be is Crash Nitro Kart and to no ones surprise it plays vastly inferior to Crash Team Racing, five years before. Right now theres no hope for him under the tyrannically, kikeish combo of publishers hes under now. A miracle would be needed and the world has less of those available by the day.

You deserve agonizing pain if you're retarded enough to believe anything would become of this “revival” (zero effort cash grab) by AssDivision. As I've said countless times, nothing good will ever happen for Crash (or Spyro) aside from potential mods and fan games (such as his recent inclusion in Smash Remix). If you had any sense you would have moved on from this futile desperate hope for these IP-captured dead franchises.

>>718534314
I think you have the labels for DK and Sonic mixed up, my dude.

>>718503532 (OP)
What really hurts is that cancelled Crash 5 was supposed to marry Crash Platformer with Psychonauts inner psyche levels in minds of his villains
Combining my favorite franchises would be so cool...

>>718539872
There was a level of sonic autism present in the newer games that I didn't really like. The idea of crash having any sort of lore outside of "cortex mutates animals to be his slaves" is incredibly off putting. The newer games added some new characters who literally had no back story or attachment to anything else in the series. Fasty was a fun idea, but he was based on something that wasn't even intended to be in crash bandicoot in the first place.

>>718540615
the lore was always there, it just took a backseat in the actual games in favor of being gameplay first. a vast majority of that lore only exists in the Crash Bible anyway, you'd only be able to pick up on subtext if you solely used the games as a source and never touched a single ancillary piece of writing.
You could argue that things took a shift when Twinsanity came around and the series became more of a cartoon videogame series, greatly influenced by the american cartoons of the 2000s.

>>718503532 (OP)
I'm going to say it, Crash games were never good, they were simply what we had back in the day, exactly like spyro.

>>718540016
>If you had any sense you would have moved on from this futile desperate hope for these IP-captured dead franchises.
Knew full well from seeing the writing on the wall with how quickly the hype died out after IAT that this series was gonna experience another decade-long drought, so I moved onto greener pastures with the Switch and continued churning through my backlog. It was extremely embarrassing to still see round-the-clock IAT ragebait threads for 4-5 years after that shithole Crash general died.

>>718540396
Not sure what’s the deal there but anytime I hear the same story of “sequel gets cancelled but the next one was gonna be the good one we swear” it always reads like extreme cope

mootcat but fat

Crash bandicoot was always fucking boring. Bubsy is legitimately more compelling in the current year

>>718503532 (OP)
Crash would've died just for not printing CoD numbers regardless of T4B ruining the artstyle, just like Spyro did. Don't forget this is Activision we're talking about, and Microsoft is no better when it comes to shelving old IP's like they did with Rare's.

This thread is a false equivalent, because sure, bubsy has a new game... how does it look or animate? really cheap indie game budget. which is fine.

Would you like the next crash to have that budget and that visual fidelity? you would not complain that the models look worst than crash of the titans?

>>718536198
was wondering that, Megaman have so many spin offs and sequels, and they are playable on modern computers as well.

The only ones I could kind of understand are the Megaman Legends fans, because they have 2 games and a half if we count trone bonne's game....

>>718542073
I felt like N Sane Trilogy and CTRNF mostly looked fine. A new platformer with the art style of CTRNF would be fine. Crash 4 didn't need to take any of the liberties that it did, but it took hundreds of them, in not just artstyle but in gameplay. There's never a need to redesign a character unless it's for hardware purposes, like Mario between 64 and Sunshine. They could have just reused the same models from CTRNF in Crash 4. Why they didn't is a mystery.

>>718534314
Kirby is just as alive as Mario, gets regular 2 to 3 games per generation, that's alive as fuck.

>>718542510
and how much "cheaper" would that be? as cheap as bubsy?
how many millions are you saving?

>>718508842
Bubsy is a memetic underdog of stupid bullshit, honestly. I can see Atari trying to fasten that to themselves in their rebuilt form aiming to rise up to relevance again. If the formerly dead Atari can resurrect Bubsy, anything's on the theoretical table.

>>718540615
I never got “Sonic autism” from the later games. If anything the world is vastly underdeveloped. Theres no comics, cartoons, the games mostly all take place on a mundane Earth with everything crazy happening on some isolated islands or in space or other dimensions.

TGT unironically has the same writing quality of your average modern superhero comic (mainly spider-man), it has some memorable jokes and action scenes sprinkled throughout the whole thing, but all that stuff is realistically just fluff the autist writing it adds to hide his current true intent with the story under the rug, which is venting about his past heartbreaks (or indulging in a fetish) because that shit has way too many characters in it being revealed to be cucks for it to be a coincidence.

I think Rayman is deader than Mega Man.

>>718503532 (OP)
Crash died because not only were the games suffering low quality. But the concept of Crash isn't exactly the most marketable. Think about it, Crash is a former regular animal but he's mutated into an anthro and he comes out mentally challenged. Besides Tiny Tiger Crash is extremely mentally challenged. You can't market a hero who is well extremely stupid. Crash makes Homer Simpson seem intelligent but Homer Simpson is not an adventurer who fights baddies. Crash on the other hand goes on adventures to fight off legions of evil scientists like N Tropy.

I'm sorry but Crash died because he's not a character people would typically associate as the main hero. In a twisted way Crash reminds me of the Warner Bros cartoon Taz Mania. Taz the tazmanian devil is the main character and its revealed he has a family but his family is normal in the same way the other Bandicoots in Crash are normal. The same way Taz is the retard of his species Crash is the retard of his own species.

A character like Crash was simply never going to last long term. The closest thing to a long running gaming character who is dim witted is Donkey Kong and that's because his games don't really emphasize much in the way of storytelling. Crash does and we see he's mentally deficient. So again Crash being dumb hurts his long term marketablity.

>>718523205
I'm pretty sure they bought it for King
>>718533639
Modern Bubsy kinda reminds me alot of modern Family Guy, in that being something that is well past its prime and should be dead but is somehow still alive and is only liked out of pure irony

It's true that Mario games have long since lost their charm and soul of the early days but Nintendo at least puts effort into those games. Post-Naughty Dog Crash games has been a never ending humiliation ritual for the series. You just want to put Crash out of his misery.

LOL!

>>718543950

if all of the anthro characters in crash were presumably created by cortex, why are there so many of them that are aligned with good instead of evil?

>>718504298
Klonoa died because he never sold well. You can't say his games were put on failing consoles. Klonoa debuted on the PS1 and his sequel the PS2. Those are globally successful consoles Klonoa simply never sold. Didn't help that his games were 2D when gamers wanted 3D. And even when Klonoa's 2D games were put in 2D handhelds like the Game Boy Advance he still didn't sell good compared to games like Mega Man Zero.

Klonoa failed because nothing about Klonoa appealed to gamers. Only shitty child fuckers liked Klonoa so Dead is Better.

Fair warning in advance it's gonna suck when you get to a stage that has ceiling hangs, but it won't be too bad up until that point.

>>718543949
No Crash died because his zany cartoonish stupidity is easy to ruin by people who completely misunderstood the appeal of the original games and the cool way Crash was marketed in the 90's. There really was not much in the way of story-telling in the original games either. Nobody cared that Crash was an idiot because his games were simple, cool, and fun. That oddly successful brand was never repeated with later games made by other developers.

>>718544906
For the most part, the Xbox version of every multiplatform game is the best.
>>718544912
Wrath of Cortex was my first Crash Game. I went back and played the first three eventually, but if I had to rank em, it'd be Two, Wrath, Warped, and the first one. The Third one is nice, funny animations, but its levels are kinda repetitive. Yeah Wrath adds vehicles, but the vehicles are fun.

>>718544630
didn’t nippon like klonoa? (& parappa)

>>718544559
The Cortex Vortex is what makes the anthros evil (or loyal to Cortex)
But it malfunctioned when Crash was put in it

>>718544559
I never understood the logistics of the whole "animal mutation" thing anyways, like in the original game it seemed like the whole goal was to prevent Cortex from using the machine on Tawna, and then Coco shows up out of nowhere in 2. I used to imagine it was kinda like Sonic where there are naturally both normal animals and anthro animal people, and Cortex wasn't responsible for creating the anthros, he was just giving them brainwashing them to serve him and maybe giving special powers to some. The machine fucked up Crash's mind instead of successfully brainwashing him, but it did give him tard strength and enhanced agility.

>>718503532 (OP)
Crash was a shit game and a shit platformer with bullshit difficulty. That's why it became irrelevant.

>>718533991
After analyzing the trailer for a bit I'm confident that it'll be a solid 6/10. They're definitely taking some inspiration from Mario 64 with his moveset and level design, but the size of levels range from Mario 64's to Banjo Tooie's and look barren and several scenes of long stretches of road with little to no challenging obstacles. It looks practically unfinished - like some early beta footage for a Kikestarter trailer.

>>718545150
It was a two machine plan. The Evolvo Ray (invented by N. Gin) was what turned regular animals into anthro ones. The Cortex Vortex was the mind control device, itself using bombardments of TV programming to instill a personality into the animal.

>if this isn't a lightning in the bottle sensation were canning the series
crash 4 sold reasonably well for a modern 3d platformer, if activation had any interest keeping it the series around crash 4 sales would make it sustainable. be the next hotness or you're fired is not a reasonable metric for anything aside from a handful of elite legacy franchises which crash is not a member of.

I wish we could see the Komodo Bros, and Crunch again.

>>718543224
Blananza has no solid consistent design. You just punch and throw shit until you get Banans that are literally just sitting there while the game throws an occasional platforming challenge at you that ranges from baby to mild difficulty.
It's not a good game.

>>718545070
Japan doesn't like video games about cutesy anthro animals. The most they like is cutesy anthros that do NOTHING like Animal Crossing where you do NOTHING. This also explains why Japan worships fluff nothing like Hello Kitty. They just like hollow cutesy nothing for the sake of it.

So Klonoa who tries to tell emotional stories about depression and trauma? That doesn't appeal to the bug people of Japan.

>>718545670
>Japan doesn't like video games about cutesy anthro animals.
This literally, factually isn't true. Fuga sold well.

>>718544939
Crash is better off dead. Today's hack writers see Crash and will triple down on making him a bumbling idiot. And I can't stand this. The same way Goku in Dragon Ball Super got turned into a seriously hopeless idiot that's what happened to Crash. What is this called again? Flandernization.

>>718503532 (OP)
If Sony execs had any kind of brains they would've bought Crash during the PS2 era and made Crash their mascot.
This is what happens when an IP that isn't a braindead FPS gets left in the care of the Call of Slop devs.

>>718544559
If were being honest alot of them are neutral and only showed up out of familiarity or profit. Like mutants introduced in Crash 1 like Pinstripe, Kong and the Komodo Bros inly have one prominent appearance and never show up to hurt Crash again.

>>718544939
They didn't understand that crash was mute, not stupid. He always looked like he was afraid of everything, but later designs gave him this "competent hero" sort of thing going on. Then they made him scream PANCAKES like it was some sort of character development.

>>718542709
>I can see Atari trying to fasten that to themselves in their rebuilt form aiming to rise up to relevance again.
This.
Does anyone even remember their blatantly obvious "Groovy posting" shilling campaign on here for, what was it, some new console or Amiga revival or some shit?

>>718508842
Atari in general is constantly making weird decisions ever since they stopped making consoles. They are truly a weird company that somehow manages to survive.

>>718545365
and also a large part of the reason why nothing original is being created anymore. people will always watch every new cape slop movie no matter what, so they really don't even need to try. it's a really shitty situation we're in with media these days.

Oh God, what if Atari releases their own console to compete with the Big Three?

>>718546295
>>718546387
that's what people thought they were trying to do, but I think it was just them releasing a 1:1 model of one of their consoles with a bunch of build in games, and a port you could put actual atari carts in if you had them.

>>718546361
They somehow rebooted Haunted Mansion three fucking times

>>718546160
This.

>>718546576
Honestly if they could make a console with every game - every. Game. From the console and computer line - I'd buy that.

>>718546160
I mean, the intent was always that Crash was stupid but the final games just emphasize his laid back attitude a lot more since there's little chance for his little brain to come to fore. About the most you get is Crash 2 where he scratches his head in confusion whenever anyone talks to him in a cutscene.

>>718546576
I think it was that (picrel?) or that other console Tommy Telerico was developing that was a massive flop. My memory's fucked. I just remember shills forcing Groovy Wojak.

>>718546754
Make Sonic a green zombie labeled "Undead, merch-seller" and it's perfect.

>>718546160
He was always pitched as a dumbass, he got pushed into the cool guy Dreamworks smirk shit on the covers because the suits thought aping the Sonic "mascot with attitude" stuff would help sell. This is not a "cool" character, or rather he's cool by merit of being a crazy cartoon character who does cool stuff.

That's what happened. Just consistently poor choices on repeat. The fact Spyro got no focus past Reignited is actually more baffling to me than Crash getting all these games because after Crash and Skylanders failed they did nothing with Spyro whatsoever.

>>718546754
Platformers making a come back, even Bubsy somehow returned every other big name AAA developer decides now is the time to shit away the mascots they bought their way into over the years.

>>718547515
>FOMO out the ass
kek. I got the game on launch before the GPs started and I bought the summer time pack with the coins I earned. Then when the GPs and roadmaps started, summer time N Trance was never made available again until the end of the game's life cycle, so I played him exclusively like a cunt.

>>718546716
It was sort of a mixture of the two, with it being skewed towards the former in the first game and skewed towards the latter in Warped. It's just that the way modern devs approached the zany cartoonish side of Crash was so muddleheaded and repugnant as to only be appealing to people who are as dumb as their crude caricature of Crash himself. And also the games from the 90s looked great and aesthetically satisfying whereas now they look repulsive and soulless.

It's over for Crash.

>>718503532 (OP)
Crash died because crash 4 fucking sucked
Tawna had nothing to do with it

>>718547515
Activision apparently just does not give a fuck about Spyro. Reignited was almost certainly made to ride the coattails of N. Sane, and information indicates that it was a B project given less attention than Crash 4. Even after Spyro sold a minimum of 10 million units, the unmade crossover project TFB pitched was basically going to just be another Crash game set in Spyro environments.

>>718549706
Mario is worthy of having many reps, Fire Emblem is not.

>>718546754
It feels good being a SpongeCHAD

I play through the ps1 games every five years or so and every time I get further away from understanding the reverence for them. There are so many mechanically interesting games of that era. They just put so much money behind it that it lives in the cultural consciousness even if it doesn't deserve it.

>>718548516

As a fan of both its kinda always been like that. Spyro got reinvented harder through the years than Crash did from that edgy LOTR ripoff to Skylanders.

Naughty Dog never owned Crash. Same with Insomniac and Spyro.
They were both contracted for a specific number of games, which would be owned entirely by Universal, and they both wisely chose to stick to one IP for the duration of their contracts.

Still doing better than Rayman. Seriously, the flops Rayman has ever had were the Rayman games that didn’t feature Rayman. I was so sure we would get Rayman 4 after how popular origins and legends were, but then we got nothing…

>>718523965
>To push out a wet fart of a game that openly denounced every single game in the franchise for a cheap joke is a damn bold thing to do when it made many of the same mistakes that the real Crash 4 (Wrath of Cortex) made.
That's what's funny to me, NF just shows that EVERYONE was happy to see past characters come back, fucking YAYA PANDA got a fan base just from showing up. So to set 4 before all those characters and essentially rewrite the timeline just felt weird.

>>718525009
I was exited at first because I thought it was Crash Bash 2 and I actually like these sort of party games because they’re insanely fun in a group, especially if that group isn’t very familiar with video games.

They bought Activision for Call of Duty, Sony rightfully called them out, the government started breathing down their necks and they decided to share their ball with the other kid. What annoys me to this day is still them buying Rare and doing fuck all with Banjo and Conker, and recently they canned a new Perfect Dark and a possible new game, so now Rare is once again stuck in a rut, switched from cucked Kinect dev to only working on Sea of Thieves.

>>718503532 (OP)
Activision is so bizarre with this ip when Crash sell even more than Mario sometimes

>>718504929

Because sometimes the studio that'd be perfect for it (at least on paper, I know /v/ aren't really fond of them after Crash 4) is not available

They are the same thing. Most people who love Crash played it in their childhood and many just developed a crush on Coco. She has one of the best designs of a furry character.
Havent bought 4 but I played the trilogy, it was still great even with the less cartoony look.

>>718563240
Who cares. If toys for bobs pitch for a banjo game was actually good then they should throw money their way to create a 2nd team to make it. Tfb is basically a 2nd party studio for Microsoft because they hold the ips that tfb care about

>>718563518
Anon if Crash 4 underperformed why would a new Banjo game fare any better?

>>718563564
If Microsoft is actively looking for studios to pitch a banjo game to them then they obviously think it'll do alright numbers.

gotta head out shortly but to specify more on this >>718536369
Suggest the design of a character and I'll get to work figuring something out once I get back later on in the afternoon.
I'm not taking name suggestions or 'haha, meme's - I just wanna see some brainstorming for stuff you guys can come up with that fits the setting for Crash.
There's basically little-to-no need for additional human characters and the chimeras that proliferate the cast are a far more interesting prospect to work new ones in to, so I'd recommend going from there.
See you all later.

Oh right, here's a preview of where custom character modelling's at right now.
Again, still no character texturing yet but it should come eventually.
Right now it's all the work of vertex colours.
Icons and such can also be done but this is just a quick preview.

>>718523315
You can blame the game, the designs, the release date... But in reality, the simple truth is that Crash is uninteresting to modern gamers. He was born at an age when everybody needed their own mascot, and platformers were commonplace. As long as you could make a really damn solid game, your mascot would be successful, even if the character is nothing to write home about. Crash was exactly that - he was a pretty uninspired Sonic clone who became successful because his games were visually stunning and fun when the genre was still in vogue. Times have changed, and now Crash is a relic of the past.
Honestly, the biggest mishandling here is not Crash, it's Spyro. Spyro was an amazing character with tons of potential; he could've easily become one of the genre's mainstays if he got a chance to spread his wings again. I believe that his hypothetical fourth game following the remake trilogy would've sold really well.

People got bored of the game and dropped it before even seeing her
>auto scroller sections you can't go back through if you miss crates
>murky backgrounds you can't tell from foreground
>"sir the players keep getting killed way too much because of the shittiness!" "Just give them unlimited lives and make some comment about lives being an outdated concept!"
>Crate total: 67/285

Alright, I'm back

Nice work, Anon.
The huntsman looks really good.
I'd suggest for anyone coming at this to keep designs minimalistic and low-detail at first, then add additional details and such in second and further showings of the character.

>You wouldn't hand any random indie developer Banjo Kazooie, Jak, or Crash Bandicoot
That is literally every Crash game

You do know she got her own trailer right? People knew about her.

Technically Toys for Bob, Beenox, and Vicarious Visions aren't indie studios (well at least before Toys for Bob bought back their independence) but the point is that there's a difference between handing the IP to experienced AA developers with decades of work compared to a relatively new and much smaller indie team on a more modest budget

>>718590910
Maybe Dimps with Crash Boom Bang.

Crash 4's biggest issue is that it was a game for nobody. Casuals didn't enjoy it because 80% of the game consists of ball-bustingly difficult challenges and asinine crate hunts clearly designed for veterans. Veterans didn't like it because they redesigned everyone and did a soft reboot, discarding the good ideas from the PS2 games and replacing them with nuTanwa.

>>718591042
Imagine if they didn't show this trailer. The game probably could have lifetime sales of 1 million copies. Maybe even 2.

>>718590754
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it anyways.

Crash was never, ever good.

t. played it exactly one time in an airport in 1996

>>718593514
Yeah it didn't pass my good game filter

>>718505801
Bubsy was Accolade's originally not Atari.

Sex with bandicuties.

Do people actually like Crash? Feels like people only like him and Spyro is because they were the only two mascot platformers on Playstation.

>>718534314
>Shitrobot
Remove him. His presence is a disgrace to Sackboy.

>>718503532 (OP)
Crash died because crash 4 is dog shit. I understand though. I wanted another 3d yooka laylee. Instead they're remastering the first because retards couldn't handle a camera.

>>718503532 (OP)
Crash 4 was legitimately good and fun, only shit thing about it was 100% it but that's just for people already into the game anyway.
Nitro fueled was 11/10, pls port to pc you God damn faggots

>>718596252
crash 4 is simply padded to hell and back
>hidden crates every single round, and they're required
>some levels are simply too long and start to drag
>relic inflation
>n. sanely perfect relics (no reset level button because fuck you btw, exit to the hub and reload the level again :^))
>do the levels again but with an eye-raping color filter
I've got nothing against crash's gameplay, but they've made taken it too far
and then of course you have the poz (trawna) and the butchered designs (coco looks like a fucking unsexy triangle and has the face of an overfilled dumpling, crash has a dreamworks crap-looking face that spits in the face of the concept art, etc.)

I don't remember Pac-MAN being a sexy female

You're talking out your ass.

>>718503532 (OP)
Crash was never good. So it's fitting that no one likes it enough to support it.

>>718591697
I’m pretty sure it was made bad on purpose and Rumble was the final nail in the coffin.

>>718595824
Yes, they're only pretending to enjoy the games because of that, smartass.

>>718538673
Cortex needed to overthrow his boss so called up his mouth Le school buddy to help out in exchange for giving him the credit to everything

>>718503532 (OP)
Think it's just cause the game still doesn't have that many weeks,but i'm sure we'll get more poc characters soon enough

>>718591697
>Casuals didn't enjoy it because 80% of the game consists of ball-bustingly difficult challenges
Then casual needs to get fucking good. Crash 4 was easier than 90% of NES platformers.

>>718547218
Earthworm Jim died peacefully after the plan to resurrect him as woke shit failed and got cancelled

>>718598547
Glad you confirmed it.

>>718581732
To me is funny that they want to blame the "failure" into the tawna.
even if the game sold aceptable millions.

>>718598986
Theres no proof it sold millions beyond one disgruntled employee on social media. Meanwhile the sales for N. Sane, NF, and Reignited still get sales updates.

>>718503532 (OP)
Crash Bandicoot is the crack addicted uncle of gaming.

Not exactly a flex over Crash, dude.
but yeah Crash died because

How the FUCK is Atari still around? How many skinwalkers have worn that corpse?

>>718544630
Or… get this…
Have Klonoa flash his boypussi and gamers will flock to it

"Crash Bandicoot 4: It's about time" was/is an awful game that killed the franchise. If completion sucks in your Crash Bandicoot game, you've made a BAD Crash Bandicoot game.

>>718599190
but even with casual people and "normies" they probably saw nothing wrong with the game.

>>718596779
The crate and relic inflation is insane by the standards of the series. You can find so many articles and posts about it, just search "crash bandicoot inflation"
