What can we as fans do to revive Crash Bandicoot?

>>723535050 (OP)
Post Coco and a little Tawna, maybe?

>>723535050 (OP)
collect 100 wumpa fruit

Mario Maker but Crash

>>723535050 (OP)
I don't understand this pathological need that fanbases have to have a franchise continue into eternity even if it means parading its mangled and raped corpse around as if it's still actually alive and breathing. You got at least four great games out of the series, then you had to deal with years of trash just to get some decent remakes and then a soulless modern sequel, which would be the blueprint for any other games going forward if they decided to make more.

We don't.

>>723535050 (OP)
Nothing really, Crash 4 sold 5 million copies and it still wasn't enough. It's dead Jack.....

>>723537418
Yes, 10 playstations and 10 boxes.

>>723537970
Did it really sell 5 million? Can't help but feel that number is disingenuous.

>>723538251
Much like the game, the sales went on for too long.

>>723538546
So it didn't actually sell 5 million? What are the actual sales?

>>723538661
Yes and N.sane remake sold a lot more, over 20 million copies

>>723539983
Sounds fake. The fact that you ain't posting sources tells me this is just cope.

it was an 90s series, people only like the games for nostalgia. if you make a new game theres no nostalgia for it therefore people wont play it.

There's a full complete Crash Bash remake by some Huehue that added a few unlockable characters as well. Not sure how many people know it exists(the models are kind of ugly)

Nothing, they had the chance to bring it back but like always, the mentally ill freaks that infested the industry couldn't help themselves.

>>723538251
>Did it really sell 5 million?
I don't believe it did personally, there's never been any true confirmation of it

Activision never once published financial reports that detailed IAT's sales, and the sales stopped being tracked after its release window, where the game reportedly did not sell well.

The ONLY mention of IAT's sales post release window is the 5mil sales post which was made by a random TfB employee, who made a single post on his LinkedIn, and his role wasn't one of the higher-up positions, nor was he a team lead/senior or had any role related to finance/marketing.

None of the other TfB employees in the higher-up positions spoke about it or even bragged about it, and there hasn't been anything like an official announcement about its sales like how NF got the 10mil sales announcement a couple months ago

It sussy

There is no saving it, not under Microsoft and certainly with other devs who have a misunderstanding of the IP. Just be glad we had a good run with it and aren’t like other fandoms who just accept anything thrown at them. Crash 4 and Rumble bombing at least means this fandom has some standards.

it all comes down to autistics that are dedicated fans. if you don't have these savants in your fan club you're not getting a revival.

Was it really that bad? Why?

Crash 1 with the same crate system of every other game. You just have to be careful for the darkness levels.

>>723535050 (OP)
Pressure then to release the fucking CTR remake on PC

>>723547979
>Was it really that bad
Yes
>Why?
It was full of fundamental misunderstandings of what made Crash have it's unique identity as well as being technologically inferior to the PS1 games(much like the Spyro trilogy) despite being on better hardware.
Damn near everything was a fuck up
The most egregious were
>Readability - the ability to see what is and isn't interactable in a level as well as ensuring colors don't blend together so collectables stand out this also goes together with depth perception and how they managed to fuck up the camera and feeling of depth despite trying to do more realistic lighting effects
>Logic - By centering multiple rewards around death you'd assume the ability to reset would be near instant(like Crash 3 with time trials), instead they made the "Restart Level" option reload the entire level AND cutscene instead of just dumping you back at the start with 0 deaths
>Fairness - Crash is a rare platformer that is overwhelmingly forgiving if you're patient and paying attention the game's focus was shifted from this fairness to gotchas and a death count centric approach rather than a life centric approach meaning the "bash your head against a wall until you win" mentality is being rewarded and those that take their time are punished.
There's also an obscene number of points of no return which combined with how hidden the crates are just stops the player from having fun if they try to play it like a normal Crash game. Then there's turning Dingodile into "le heckin' good boy chungus vorebait American" when he's meant to be a psychopathic, pyromaniac Australian. The bad silhouettes for the other playable characters and just how janky they feel to play as.

>>723545817
>NF got the 10mil sales announcement a couple months ago
and still no PC port because activision is retarded

>>723547979
The good :
>The cassettes levels were a good idea for self contained challenging 2d levels
>Cortex and Dingodile are fun to play as
>The end of the story with Cortex trying to prevent Crash's creation was fun
>The two N. Tropies would have been a great twist if it was kept until their boss fight

The bad :
>Levels are too long, boss fights too
>No, I will not play the same level 4 times for those retarded gems
>Sliding sections are very unfun
>Crates hidden in retarded locations
>Environment are overdesigned and that makes you miss tons of shit because how could you know that this particular small detail among lots of others was supposed to be a hint
>Hidden gems, see above
>Bonus sections are hot garbage and are sometimes retarded IWBTG tier bullshit
>Masks are just sections of levels and not powerups
>While fun to play as, Cortex and Dingodile mostly have bad levels
>Nu-Tawna has no good levels and if you really wanted the grapple gimmick the devs should have picked Nina instead
>Character designs, do I need to say more?
>The story is shit, multiverse marvelslop is overdone
>The masks as characters are annoying

The ugly :
>Nu-Tawna

>>723535050 (OP)
if they plan to repeat the same shit they did with tawna in 4 then its better to leave it be
enough with reviving these IPs just to violate them while appealing to the modern audience and not fans
the new designs were also cheaply disneyfied with almost no shred left of its original artstyle
let it rest

>>723545748
original crash artstyle was dope and in a sense pretty individualistic
i really dont get why they made his redesign look so soft
thats the best way i can describe it since he had a completely different aura in his original concievement
probably to appeal to furries or some shit

1. Buy the games or sub to gamepass to play them. Shows there is money and demand.
2. Make and play lots of ROMhack. Shows there is interest for more and if you aren't behaving like a psychopath maniac you can even get picked up to work on official projects rather than get C&D for being a pest.

i love his expression in the first game. its like a scared "who are you, what am i doing here" expression. his body language seems as if he frightfully navigates through the terrain and all the levels. cool

>>723547335
This literally looks like a Fortnite skin holy fuck.

>>723559382
I agree with everything but:
>Get rid of ANYTHING non-Naughty Dog
At the very least keep Nina Cortex, Crunch, Emperor Velo and N. Trance. Get rid of Uka-Uka.

>>723559382
>>Use stylyzed PS1 era graphics.
Twinsanity had the best Crash and Cortex, it's such a shame that the rest of the characters (and much of the game) were unfinished

It's worse when you realize Sony and Sega funded Nsane and Nitro fueled. 4 was the one game Activision funded everything and it failed as a result.

>>723545817
Could it be that they're waiting until it makes 10 million to report on it?

So how assmad are you guys if crash comes back next year like nothing ever happened?

>>723563719
if it's not Toys 4 fucking Bob again and they ignore 4 and Rumble, then I'd be content, but what could they even do from here? WoC remake? twinsanity remake? crash 4 for realsies this time you guys?

>>723563956
Crash 5

>>723540372
Crash 4 has no official sales numbers. It more than likely was a massive flop. Activision proudly announced Nsane and CTR numbers every few million.

>>723563719
>assmad
Not at all. With the situation at Microsoft, its a miracle ANYTHING gets developed. Besides, all the TFB devs getting canned is enough blood for the IATrainwreck. If they somehow get bought back, hopefully they learned the many many many many many many lessons from that failure.

On that note, you can watch almost ALL the Golden Age Looney Tunes shorts on Tubi. Watching those shows just how much they missed the mark with IAT.

I swear 99% of crash threads nowadays are just anons complaining about games they’ve never played

I liked Crash of the Titans.

>>723561814
activision has always been an insanely stupid yet lucky company under kotick
he only gave a shit about money and immediate profit with little regard to how fostering longterm longevity for the company's IPs
he ran both guiitar hero and tony hawk games into the ground
call of duty already went downhill with and after modern warfare 2 anyway
the quality of CoD is pretty stark now but it managed to cultivate a e sports like status
all that guy knew was how to do marketing in the right places and super lucky cod had broader appeal which drew in the normies

Oh these look pretty nice.

Something I just want to say because I'm an aspie, I like that wooden fence that you gotta spin to break. In a modern game where the art has become so focused on realism and there's too many fucking mechanics to keep track of, I'm betting most players wouldn't think to immediately spin the wood, but here with the simple mechanics and art style you do. Stuff like that is really missing in modern AAA games outside of Nintendo stuff.

>>723564946

>>723552973
>i really dont get why they made his redesign look so soft
Because the redesign is made by furfaggots who turned Crash into their fetish character.

It's an open secret that Iron Galaxy is finishing the canceled Crash Bandicoot 5, just as it did with THPS 3 + 4

>>723565323
THPS 3+4 was a giant disappointment, wasn't it?

>>723547979
Completionistism is the beauty of Crash games. The boxes are part of the level design and going for the gems is always the most fun part of the games

Crash 4 bloated content way too much, while making decisions solely to piss you off because "Dark souls of platformers"
I can talk shit all i want, since i got the 106% ending.
I can beat and 100% any of the original trilogy crash games in a sitting, but Crash 4 takes at minimum a fucking week.

Shit OST also doesn't do it any favors.

>>723535050 (OP)
What can they even truly do with Crash as a brand? Its an outlandish wacky property akin to Looney Tunes but how successful is Looney Tunes these days? Getting media doesn't mean you are getting quality. Crash has no place in the industry. Unless they come up with good mechanics the series is somewhat aimless. The worst thing is that Crash Bandicoot is a brand that has gone unappreciated by aging and newcomer gamers alike.

While things like Sonic are still loved by gamers of all gens Crash doesn't have that luxury.

>>723565323
>It's an open secret that Iron Galaxy is finishing the canceled Crash Bandicoot 5
sounds like bullshit
what are you sources?

>>723565576
Everything is if you just use /v/ as a mirror of quality.

>>723565260
why you gotta project like that

>>723565260
nigga, Dingodile is right there as the actual fetish character

>>723535275
Its bragging rights to show that a franchise stood the test of time and hangs in there with others.

But the thing about Crash is that you can get more mileage out of him. They could invent new villains and different conflicts. You don't need to invent new rehashed reasons for Cortex to antagonize Crash. Hey if Ninja Turtles can do Non Shredder villains I'm sure Crash can do Non Cortex villains. Hell even Bugs Bunny has dealt with Non Elmer Fudd villains.

Crash can continue but it needs talented developers.

>>723566045
>gaslighting furfaggot subhumans

>>723566054
I think the big problem is that Crash games can't do well if they are overly long or complicated.

I think all of us just wanted Crash 4 to be a maybe slightly bigger crash 2. Let's say, 40 levels on the same length as the original, high replay value, minimum gimmick levels and gems to collect.
for all its faults, i did enjoy the masks in Crash 4 as powerups, so more stuff like that

>>723565934
AI says otherwise.

>Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 has faced significant disappointment from fans and critics alike, primarily due to the removal of the original career mode from Pro Skater 4 and the drastic reduction in the soundtrack's original tracks. The game's shift to a two-minute timed challenge format for THPS 4 levels, which contrasts with the original game's free-roaming exploration, has been a major point of contention, with many feeling it fundamentally alters the experience of the fourth installment.
>Additionally, the soundtrack, which featured only 10 songs from the original games and replaced many iconic tracks with new or different selections, has drawn strong backlash, with Tony Hawk himself acknowledging the divisive nature of the choices but defending them as a way to keep the music fresh and encourage discovery.
>The removal of THPS 4's career mode and its replacement with timed challenges has been widely criticized, with fans noting that the original game's free-roaming structure was a key element that defined its appeal.
>The soundtrack has been a focal point of disappointment, with numerous fans lamenting the absence of beloved tracks from artists like Alien Ant Farm, System of a Down, and Ramones, and expressing that the new selections fail to capture the nostalgia of the originals.
>While some reviewers have praised the game's core skateboarding mechanics and the addition of new levels and features like the park editor, they have also noted that the overall experience feels diminished by the lack of innovation and the trimming of original content

Not a Tony Hawk fan but I can see that removing an entire mode and most of the soundtrack is a deal breaker.

>>723538251
Even if it sold that much it also did so by lowering its price so the amount of money achieved is not what Activision would be proud of.

What's funny is the shitskins are upset that they game didn't perform well by any metric because the game has 50% content missing and is easily the worst remake/remaster. You calling the games failure out really scared the poop outta em.

What if they got the as much of the og series devs as they could back together for another game?

>>723535275
>Soulless modern sequel
Crash 4's redesigns were shit but the game itself is good. I dont give two fucks about 100%, the basic playthrough of the game itself was great with some levels being the best in the series. With that being said, HARD agree.
