>>388301030
Casuals don't play Crash Bandicoot, or anything they call Dark Souls-like

>>388301030
No. I have this super unpopular opinion in gaming that linear games are 100x better and more enjoyable than open world.

>>388301030
No, the remaster is pretty great, some parts of crash 1 excluded, and the addition of Time Trials especially to Crash 2 is an awesome idea.
Playable Coco is nice too.

>>388301137
Linear games are almost objectively better than open world, but open linearity can work even better if done right.

>>388301137
This is true - with linear games pacing and stuff like difficulty curve, both of which are fundamental to building fun, is much easier.

>>388301270
Don't forget that more time is spent in creating a good level instead of creating a void open world.

How do you like those loading screens (that are longer than the original game on PS1) and the 30fps cap?

I am so longing to fill the void now that I've 100% all 3 games in the remaster.
I tried this Unbox thing and it's a nice collecta-thon, but it's not even close.

Can anyone reccomend anything like the Crash games?

I am used to 100%ing games but getting the Gold Relics in Crash 1 gave me no sense of accomplishment at all. It was just torture. Especially when stage elements would just randomly not sync up between attempts.

>>388301470
Ok I must admit it is pretty strange that ps4 couldn't pull off 60fps but to be honest the loading screens aren't THAT long (except main menu)

If you haven't played Knack OP you'll love it.

1 and 3 are great in the remaster but 2 is distressingly unpolished. It's full of unnecessary changes , oversights and bugs whereas 1 and 3 had little to no issues.

I slightly disagree with the latter part of your comment and wish Crash Bandicoot would go on becoming something slightly bigger and more involving, but not to the point where it compromises the fun and simplicity.

>>388301480
I remember Donald Duck Quack Attack / Going Quackers being a good Crash clone as a kid but I literally haven't played it since my age was in the single digits so I'm not sure if it holds up.

>>388301480

There's nothing quite like them, and the few Crash Bandicoot clones aren't nearly as appealing or fun.

You could try Rayman 1 if you're into 2D platformers, but that shit is hard.

Threadly reminder that Crash is not retarded. No retarded individual would be nearly as practical and adaptable as Crash. His only traits that make you think he's retarded are his inability to speak, his animalistic body language, and recklessness, none of which are proof that he's retarded in any way.

The Skylanders Academy was a fairly accurate representation of how Crash would do if he could speak, but the fact that he can't is the reason why he's potentially a much more interesting character than that episode showed.

Only crash 1 was a good platformer, 2 and 3 are more about gimmicks, mini games and cool environment.
As someone who likes challenge and platformer, 1 was pretty much my jam. But it's far from being among the best games of the genre.

Crash 2 was hardly gimmicky. Only the jet-pack levels were a bit too much, but compensated with having the best music in the series.

>>388301030

No, but you are a casual for asking for validation on the internet.

Crash is great.

>>388310690
1 had the best platformer levels. Just run and jump and sometimes the boar levels.
2 had the bear levels, the jetski levels, ice levels with shitty level design, plenty of boulder levels and the jetpack ones at the end. Nearly 10~12 out of the 28 levels aren't really about platforming. And absolutely no platform levels are as memorable as Stormy Ascent, or the damn level requiring to backtrack for almost the entire level if you wanted the gem.

Keep promoting your shit purchase. The game is fucked and I see no reason to wait 20 minutes every time I want to play a level on an inferior-controlling remake. Also I don't know which are the "git gud" points as when I was referring to the hitboxes I meant the fact you can literally walk on the spikes (which would make it easier). As for the controls, I don't know why they were changed but I guess to make it easier idk, but I know they're definitely worse. Crash 1 was definitely easier on the remake too. So yeah "Git gud" on the easier version of the game, retard.

>>388303239
The loading times are just well hidden on PS1 and also the fact that the level loads as you walk through it helps a lot. I think in the remake, you load the whole level walking a long which is why it's so long.

I love Crash. But these remakes are less polished than the originals.
And if I was to go on a tangent. For as much as I love Crash, I am also quite bothered by all the people trying to claim that the game is revolutionary or that games have progressed now or something thanks to this game. Fuck no. I'd absolutely love for there to be more games like Crash made, sure.
But these remakes are far, far from revolutionary. They're really ancient games in the end. This was -nothing- new.

>nigga you die in Gex and Croc unless you have a special item and yes they do have time trials and minigames
I have the games sitting on my Vita. You have 4 hits of health in Gex and you'll never die in Croc as long as you have at least one crystal.

They don't have minigames either. At least not in the same vein as Crash & Sly's vehicular minigames that you're required to complete if you want to progress. And Gex doesn't have time trials. What are you on about?

Sly 1 plays like Crash with some minor tweaks. It certainly feels more like a Crash game than Gex & Croc. And if you think Sly plays anything like Spyro then you've probably never played Spyro either.

>>388320958

Beating the minigames in Gex/Croc/Spyro aren't required to progress through the games.

Sly 1 is fundamentally more like a Crash game than Spyro, Gex or Croc. I can't make that easier for you to understand.

Are you mentally challenged or are you just namedropping random PS1 platformers to look like you know shit?

Sly 1*. In case you wanna pull a pic related.

And my point was that Crash's aspects have been found in other platformers that they have been "standardized" in many ways.

Jak and Daxter is closer to Crash Bandicoot honestly, what with the portals and collecting macguffin.

>>388323451
>And my point was that Crash's aspects have been found in other platformers that they have been "standardized" in many ways.
And Sly 1 used so many aspects from the Crash game that it feels more like a Crash clone than Gex, Croc, or Spyro.
Not only that, your point was flat out incorrect in every area except for the part about Gex/Croc/Spyro having minigames too.

The only thing you got right was that Gex & Croc had minigames too, and they're not necessary to beat the game like Sly 1 and Crash's minigames are.

Now hurry up and find some vague similarities between JSR and Crash.

>>388301030
I thought the Crash remake was good fun.
The only time that the jumping caused me pain was during the High Road, it was pretty easy apart from that.

>>388324516
I just realized Gex had those lizard prints, was actually thinking of fireflies of spyro, so that's on me

with that said, I will argue about Crash - since hist first stage appearance (the designated first stage) will always have a mask at the start, but subsequent ones won't

Gex had time trials, and I know Croc has, at least 2 anyway

And what, pretty sure Gex 2 and 3 started the more open world stages but Gex 1 wasn't

And I'll double down on JnD, spin attack, three strikes for health, concept of warping into stages, even has collectibles to one up

>with that said, I will argue about Crash - since hist first stage appearance (the designated first stage) will always have a mask at the start, but subsequent ones won't
I have no idea what you're trying to say here. Crash doesn't start levels with the mask. Unless you're bringing up Twinsanity now. But that'd hurt your argument even more because the stages aren't straight paths either.

Gex 2 & 3 didn't have time trials. Are you talking about those minigames where you need to collect a bunch of items within the time limit? You don't need to play those to progress through the game.
No shit the 2D platformer wasn't open world.

You have health in J&D. You walked to all the stages; the portals are a fast travel. The levels were open ended. There are no lives in Jak & Daxter.
In J&D if you collected a green eco blob with full health, you'd be able to take one free hit without losing health. In Gex if you broke a TV with a fly in it and didn't immediately eat the fly, you'd be able to take a hit without losing health. Also you had a spin attack in Gex, so does that mean J&D is closer to 3D Gex?

The more you double down, the more retarded you sound.

>Am I a casual for not caring that they completely fucked up Crash's jumping and hitboxes

How did they get away with this shit?

>that bonus stage in Stormy Ascent
The rest of the stage wasn't really that hard (apart from those three platforms right at the end with insanely precise timings to them that I could only ever get lucky on instead of actually learning the patterns), but the bonus stage kicked my ass. That one metal crate you have to jump on from the bouncy crate was the worst, since the hitboxes in this game are fucked up and can sometimes cause you to slip off of surfaces.

Also, fuck getting any sort of relic in Crash 1. The level design doesn't encourage going fast at all. It's pretty stupid that they even bothered to put them in, I would've been fine with time trials in just Crash 2 and 3.

>>388327759
I just 100%ed Crash 1 (not going after the relics until I've beaten all of the others, fuck getting a gold on High Road), and I can certainly tell you that the platforming is all different kinds of fucked. There are so many times where you'll slip off of a surface for absolutely no reason, and enemies will hit you despite being a meter away (Cortex's laser blasts were the worst with this, fuck that boss fight)

Crash 2 and 3 are MUCH better, but that's only because the originals weren't as focused on precise platforming as Crash 1 was. I'm not going to act like the original Crash 1 was any better, though. It controlled like absolute dogshit, and getting 100% was ten times more infuriating in that than it is in the remake.
