I don't think I knew a single person who didn't love Crash Bandicoot if they had a Playstation.

>>383089465
might be a regional thing. When I was a kid only poorfags had a playstation and the N64 was the shit

>>383089465

Crash Bandicoot was loved (mostly due to cool factor, but still loved) and PS1 won the console generation.

>>383089465

>>383089465
I played it for the first time on ps1 emulator last year and its one of my favorite platformers of all time. It has more soul and atmosphere than the shitty remake. How can anyone hate it

>>383089465
Just say
>If it was universally hated, why did it sell so well, just like the remaster?
Same for the Ps1

Bandicoot was pretty forgetable all things considered, now was just a good time to capitalize on the games because OMG MY CHILDHOOD LIKE IF UR A 90'S KID XDDDD

>Crash Bandicoot was almost universally hated
Yeah, that's probably why they kept making game after game featuring him.

The game sold over 6.8million units and have positive reviews across the board. It was a massive hit and put Playstation on the map.

>>383089465
Your friend would be an annoying contrarian if he insisted without reason the PS1 and Crash were terrible, but he went full retard by claiming the PS1 is considered to the one of the worst. By whom? Certainly not a majority of gamers or the gaming press, it's a positively beloved console among those who had it as their first (myself included. We had a 3DO, but that doesn't count, that's an ACTUAL garbage console.)

Crash hasn't aged all that well gameplay-wise due to the clunky controls which can make timing jumps and spins a bit of a guessing game. Considered in the context of its time and through the lens of my nostalgia goggles though, it's still a great fucking game.

>>383089928
we were all like 8 years old. I'm a relatively oldfag and no one played those games until highschool when the PS2 was out

>>383090251
That being said, it was hard as FUCK to actually beat all the way through. The last few levels were simply not fair and not fun. Thankfully, this remedied in the two sequels for the PS1.

Your friend is pulling arguments out of his ass.

I dont believe you.

I remember renting Crash when I was younger. Easily one of the worst platformers I've ever played. Shit controls and graphics. Most of the difficulty comes from the floaty controls and the camera angle.

I mean the damn thing is selling better than Horizon with considerably less advertising. Clearly people love this game and always have. If they were always shit how did it spawn so many sequels and manage to create a fanbase that would sit around for 20 years ready to throw money at them again?

Everything about it is good

Crash games have aged perfectly. They're flawless gameplay-wise and still visually beautiful. The only thing you could argue hasn't aged sell is the save/password system in the first game.

Your friend is a contrarian, like the ones infesting this thread right now.

Probably the best reason to get the trilogy.

I played both the originals and the remake and have not owned a ps1. Platformers are my favorite genre. Crash2 is the best. 1 is unrefined and grueling in a fun way. 3 is unrefined in a meh way. But with how platforming has grown leaves Crash's original ending design in the dust. I'd love to have a Crash inspired modern game that wasn't, y'know, a modern Crash game because ugghhh, modern Crash games sure don't get Crash

>>383089465
Your mistake is trying to rebut an opinion. It's an opinion, if he's trying to say nobody liked it as a fact, tell him you did. If he's old enough to have enjoyed gaming in the PSX era you should both be mature enough to understand differing viewpoints. I liked crash, my brothers liked crash, and we played #2 to 100% completion out of enjoyment and not obligation. We played other games to, on other consoles, and it wasn't a matter of what we enjoyed more. /v/ ruins opinions because we're all looking for that utopian game that has everything for everyone, and we're just stuck in this pissing contest on what platform and series is superior.

This. I had a PS1 with 50 games or so, and a N64 with 4 games. Games weren't expensive, but I had the PS1 games for free, and to be honest N64 didn't have too many games of my interest. But I'm still finding hidden gems for PS1.

>>383092923
The controls from 2 onwards are much better than 1 so that's likely it. 2 has better music too

The remake makes 1 control more like 2, your pops might like it

Crash was poorly received by reviewbros in magazines and such upon release (how dare you not be mario) but its good design, aggressive advertising, and word of mouth elevated it to a multi-million seller anyway, and the sequels were received much more fairly by reviewers.

>>383089465
Sounds like the words of a salty N64fag tbqh.

>>383093630
Twinsanity made me realize how Crash isn't suited for sandbox levels. Trying to jump on arrow boxes with a free camera is nigh impossible and the level design isn't as tight as before.

>Games in green text, in no order.
There are a ton of games that held up great and are good for a single play through just to see how technology has changed. Gems that I never knew as a kid but have emulated and loved.
>EVO, Secret of Mana, Terranigma, Actraiser, Illusion of Gaia and Soul Blazer.
Some of the best RPGs ever are on it, and hold up.
>Chrono Trigger, Earthbound, Lufias and Super Mario RPG.
Surprisingly I'm not a huge fan of the FFs and BoFs on the SNES. Certain key moments from games stick out, but they were all so damn similar it's hard for me to say they were awesome. But I know they mostly aged well.

Classics like:
>Zelda, Super Mario Allstars, Super Mario World and Super Metroid

>There are a couple dozen other buried gems I didn't mention and I'm sure I forgot a few big names, but starting out with these is good.

Games that have not aged well IMO include Mario Kart, any Sim, any racing/flying game, including Starfox.

I'm probably the only person that thinks this is why Crash is so fun.

3D platformers were once split into collectathons like Mario 64 and Banjo, or obstacle courses like Crash. The challenge with Crash isn't finding whatever doodad is hidden at every corner of the level, it's actually getting through in the first place. The collectibles are a reward, not something to find. That's why time trials are a perfect fit for Crash and should have been in the game from the start.

Warped sold better than Cortex Strikes Back.

Sorry but every gaming forum and chat room called it PSX. I'm not going to stop just because something else came along almost a decade later and never actually got released in NA.

It's like the faggots who call duck tape "duct tape". Duct tape is foil backed tape that doesn't deform due to temperature change and doesn't hold well, mostly just seals. Duck tape is waterproof canvas tape that holds shit together like crazy but doesn't tolerate temperature change.

The game mechanic "find these thingamajigs we hide in every ass crack of this open area" is in basically every game now. A collectathon is taking that mechanic and promoting it into the primary goal of the game.

>promoting it into the primary goal of the game
The primary goal of a game like, say, Banjo-Kazooie is defeating Gruntilda the witch. Not collecting tokens.

Now if you say that collecting tokens is the primary way of reaching Gruntilda the exact same argument can be made for Doom.

The primary goal of Doom is kicking demon ass, but the main means of doing that is collecting key cards to get to the end of the level.

So as I said, by /v/'s definition even Doom is a collectathon.

No, the originals are beautiful.

I always called it the Playstation, till the PS2 came out, then it was the PS1. I thought the PSX was the smaller redesigned PS1. That's when I first heard of PSX

>>383089465
He is right. Crash was mario for poorfags and for the people who was so young to understand the war of sega vs nintendo.
And the ps1 is massivly overrated it didn't push anything in the world of videogames with such limited hardware.

Not surprised to see that sentiment OP. You see it on /v/ too.

All you have to know is there was a subset of (mostly American) kids who grew up with an N64 and have absolutely the worst, most retarded fucking taste in videogames. Ignore them.

Maybe it was, but I never heard the word PSX till the redesign PS1 came out

Maybe. He doesn't play vidya anymore though, so I think he'd pass. Just spends his free time watching anime that isn't "cutesy-girl in a slice-of-life genre" or whatever's recorded from TV. Said he was wanting to get into FFX again after my sis got it running on an emulator on his computer, but that's all I know.

He'd definitely play on my PS4 though if they did an HD Spyro. The first was his favorite. He's still pissed about the Skylanders nonsense.

PS was trademarked to Nintendo, after Sony split with them, so Sony kept throwing "PSX".

>>383089465
PS1 blew everything out of the water with it's quality exclusives and variety. The technology wasn't ahead of it's time but up to the task of what it was made for and apart from scratched disks was very reliable. Its sales were through the roof and you could play anything you wanted and then somemore Crash or GT or Wipeout or DieHard, whateverthefuck.

>>383106646

your dad sounds like a pretty cool guy. from the outside, at least. the only game my dad ever played with me with crash team racing. he even got kinda good eventually, but he didn't actually like the stuff i was into.

>>383107458
Wrong

the playstation boot sequence calls it PSX, the X came from eXperimental (because it was the 90s)

Sony never marketed it as the PSX, or even officialized the shortening (Like the did with PSone, PS2, PS3, PS4 and PSP)
But again, it was the 90s, something had to had an X on it if it was slightly implied to have an X near it and the shortening caught on mainly on the English speaking media

Nintendo had no trademark on PS, the Play Station SNES was registered to sony, not nintendo, sony only licensed the hardware


Nowadays using it keeps more and more confusing, because PSX was never official for sony, they made a PS2 based DVR for the japanese market called the PSX, the X being there because it was the first sony device to use the XMB
Then recently, sony has made a "Playstation eXperience" con and calls it the PSX

Honestly, I never cared about calling the first system PS1 or PSX, but with the con being officially called the PSX, just use a bit more of context or drop the non official name for the first system, and please, please stop arguing about the "right" way to call a 20 year old system

Is incredibly funny seeing all these kids posting here discussing how things were in the SNES/Genesis and PS1/N64 era thinking that everything worked the same as nowadays. You bunch of ignorant fucks. On top of that you have objectives numbers of what happened 20 years ago and still try to find interpretations.

CTR was great.

I had access to both Sony and Nintendo products, like anyone who wasn't a retard fanboy.

CTR was great, Crash1 was great, up to Crash3 was actually good, around the time of Ty, some of the later Spyros/etc I started to get tired as shit of the genre. Sly Raccoon was my jam though, though I've heard mixed reviews from others all of my friends who played it AT the time loved it.

These three, and also ActRaiser, EarthBound, F-Zero, Kirby Super Star, and the Super Mario All Stars + World compilation. There's also Star Fox but because it's extremely low-poly at a buttery-smooth ~12fps, it may not "hold up today" as you said, and you may experience emulation issues thanks to the Super-FX chip enabling 3D graphics.

Owner and player of both versions here. There are benefits and negatives to both really. N64 has indeed got higher res character models, however the backrounds suffer greatly and are blurry and the impressive sound in true stereo suffers too sometimes as a result of being heavily compressed. The Extra content is fairly negligable. The N64 port is at least a grest technical achievment. They had to remove every other frame of FMV to be able to fit it all in, but they got it done. You can pretty much ask me anything about the diffirences and i could answer really.

Crash 1 was an awfully balanced game and people defending even the remake's design on that fact are super nostalgic.
Crash 2 and 3 are objectively superior in every way.

90's kid here, Crash was the de-facto franchise on playstation. Everyone who had a PSX liked it, Playstation was way more popular because it was easier to pirate.

Your "friend" is a retard and you should kill him because he's clearly fucking with you.

>but I don't know how to refute it
No scratch that, kill yourself you dumbass. You could just fucking go through old reviews of crash games or look up the fucking sales numbers for the PSX to show how wrong he is but the fact that you didn't think of that shows you must be some mentally retarded person and your "friend" is a normal person who likes to fuck with the retard kid because a retard is too stupid to know any better.

>>383091732
Crash 1's control isn't particularly great either. Also, gem requirements so punishing not even the entire dev team was able to 100% the game.

If someone wants to say Crash 1 N. Sane is the better version, I'm not gonna interject.

Coco Bandicoot spin-off when?

>>383124448
Crash 1 N.Sane at least makes it a bit better by allowing you to replay bonus rounds. Nothing infuriated me more in the original than those Brio levels and some of Tawna's, then having to do the whole level over if you failed.

N64 kids are just dumb.
I don't mean people who owned N64 or love nintendo, but just THOSE people who can't get over the fact that Playstation won that particular gen.
It was limited technically compared to the N64, it's only with modern emulation we can remove the jittering that came from 3D vertex mapping or the lack there of.

But it's library was incredibly diverse, high file sizes meant devs could tell larger scale stories and play with the medium with a lot more freedom.
PS1's library is so large and has so many gems that I'm still finding new favorites all these years later.

N64 had a handful of fucking amazing games and then some redundant titles (prequels to franchises that are better anyway).
It just wasn't very large in terms of titles.
A lot of people say quality over quantity but I think it's pretty obvious playstation had both.
Nintendo's first party and Rare's contribution set N64 apart and those games are still amazing, you can't say Crash or Spyro are anywhere as good as SM64 or Banjo Kazooie, but the N64 library just doesn't go much further.

Luckily not all N64 owners are like this, my best friend at the time had an N64 and I had a PS1 and we loved going to each other's houses to play games. Between us we had access to both libraries and it's obvious both systems were amazing.
But anyone who pretends the PS1 isn't one of the best consoles of all time is delusional.

My parents who never even played video games owned a PlayStation purely just to play Crash.

I don't know a single person who didn't like the original Playstation except those who couldn't afford it, nevermind people who didn't like the best game on it (crash 3)

>>383127768
To be honest I'm not even sure I'd call some of the N64's best games "amazing."

So for there to only be so few of them in the entire library, the N64 is really underwhelming.

>>383089465
Crash Bandicoot is pretty much universally hated, though. 2 and 3 were the ones that were actually good.

>>383128151
I'd say there's more than a few but the library itself is small as fuck.
That's where the quality over quantity argument comes from, but the problem is the PS1 had amazing games too despite there being so many more.

>>383118572
he's right though
PS4 is the worst playstation console to date, not a single good game

>>383115348
Yeah, well my friends and I hated Crash and we never played CTR.

>>383096057

What I'm saying is, N64 fans will be like "but we have this and this"
And I mean, sure, they're good, but they aren't THAT good, y'know?

>>383089465
I honestly didn't know a single person who talked shit about Playstation til I was in Highschool.
Then a bunch of Xbox dick suckers acted like it was the greatest thing ever and Ps2 was inferior kek.

Everyone I hung out with as a kid either had both Playstation and/or N64 but liked both systems.

Plenty of people did, actually. There wasn't really anything wrong with the port, save for the MIDI music sounding different, which is mostly subjective.

>>383128651
Sure, you're right and all. I just find it funny that people always list off these PS classics when they aren't PS exclusives. For a console that has so much more to offer than the top 10, it's kind of sad to see.

>>383089465
Stop spending time with 11 year olds, you degenerate.

>>383129221
The thing is, people here seem to say "hurr also on PC" like they expected anons to have a decent PC in 1997 which some OBVIOUSLY did "some/few" So why is it, that to make the multiplat argument against PSX we accept people could afford good PC's in 1997, but when we talk about DVD players in 2001 we suddenly act like everyone got super poor and couldn't afford one so people bought PS2's as a DVD player?

This might seem unrelated to many of you but come on, i keep seeing how everyone just had a really good PC in 1997 to play multiplats but then no one could suddenly afford a DVD player on its own... So which is it?

You don't even have to rationalize it, FF7 sold almost 10 million on PSX and not even 10.000 copies on PC

The PC version wasn't even being sold in all the territories, only autist knew of its existence

Whether you agree or disagree about Conker being the best M-rated game ever (which it's not, that goes to Demon's Souls or Dark Souls I), to claim the PS1-4 have 0 good games is just factually wrong.

The thing is anon, and i DO own an N64, is that multiplats are often more interesting to me and others than 1st party exclusives. So a platform has exclusives, ok cool, but does it have the latest cool multiplat as well?? It doesn't? Hmm... Gotta have both or make a choice then. I love mischief makers, but to forgoe MGS, RE3 and Tekken 2 & 3? Damn.

I personally feel have both the PSX and the N64.

I don't think it took all that much to run FFVII at PS resolutions on your PC in 1997. If you could run Quake or Unreal, you should be able to do just fine.

>and not even 10.000 copies on PC
Citation, please.

>>383130673
>I don't think it took all that much to run FFVII

Then how do we explain the run away success of the PSX? If PC could do it too?

When the PS3/360 race was at its worst, the PS3 had a disadvantage by having the worse multiplat versions, but people always made the argument that at least it had exclusives. I'm seeing a lot of similarities to that situation and the PS/N64. Same thing with the OG Xbox. It had the best multiplats, but lacked exclusives. People just change their arguments to fit whatever ''their'' company is doing.

Why do some levels have a slightly different amount of crates in the remake, such as high road or cortex power. Where did they go?

Why do we still pretend that PS1 was bad? What's the fucking point?

>>383131084
Because the PSX was a lot cheaper and had other games than Final Fantasy VII. What point are you trying to make here?

No no, read again anon, exclusives AND multiplats. If the Gamecube had EVERYTHING the PS2 had and it's own 1st party games, do you think things would have atill turned out the same? The thing about Nintendo is they have cool shit, but fail to have even the most basic multiplats often. Imagine if this had been a thing:

Exactly your point anon. Exactly your point. The argument "N64 is better than PSX because *also on PC" is redundant because it didn't matter.

>>383097245
What was great about having friends back then was that they usually had the games or consoles you didn't. So, while I had an N64 at my home, my friend had a PS, so we'd all spend a lot of time between the two households.

At your age I overclocked the lens speed when it didn't worked, are you fucking retarded?

Then you knew people who bought their PS1 towards the end of the cycle. Everyone who got a PS1 early on played the impressive Crash demo and then bought the full game.

>>383095807
It wasn't just it being a sandbox. It was it being a sandbox in the days of Early 3D. Also Mario 64 controlled pretty great, whereas Crash took till 2 to really feel just right.

And I say this as someone who hates the sandbox style platformers.

I remember when the DC came out and one of the guys got one that same year. Everyone was fucking amazed by the new graphics, so we spent a ton of time at his place. That dude was the neighborhood king for almost a year.

You're right on the PS3. That thing is fucking shit compared to the 360

Same with spyro 1 was ass 2 and 3 were good

But PS1 is a shit console. It launched without analog sticks and despite having horrible loading times the games refused to not have FMVs every hour or so. People bought it because it was inexpensive, could play cds, and because the platform was actually supported unlike the n64 and Saturn. Sony did not have their shit together at all until the ps2. Crash is a good game but the characters and sound effects are annoying.

You fucking faggot. I got MGS1 and 2 on launch day both times. I sold my fucking Super Nintendo (the redesigned one) to get MGS, (I regretted like 2 days later when I beat MGS and found out it was basically movie) Good game though.

Gran Turismo was based as fuck, so was GT2. All these games had DEMOS which fucking everybody played. I never played a full crash game but played the demos.

I switched back and forth between PS1 and N64. My brother was 3 years older than me and PS1 was considered very cool and hip and it also had a CD player which was a big deal back ten. I liked the N64 but looking back there was nothing released for it and N64 games were double the price in Canada as PS1 games. That said my most played games that gen were probably the 4 N64 wrestling games.
