Also the sad thing is the team wants to finish it but with the state Activision is in (basically everyone does COD now) that might not happen which is a shame as in my opinion while held many traditional parts of Crash the game did also new things giving you more wide 3D environments instead of just paths which while most of the game kept that all way these others areas could have shown what could have been.

Twinsanity really is a lovely tale when you get down to it. A rushed title, average reviews, but being average isn't bad.

I'll be honest, even tho this game has the same issue of a "Solid immovable deadline" and "unfinished release", the game does seem like a pretty fun the idea, from the Hero Villain team up with a comedic tone and with Acapella sound track, this seemed like a great game just would've been the best if it had more time to work out the bugs and let the cut content stay and really it just needed a little more time, this was very interesting look into this story of this game

The soundtrack is especially extremely amazing, considering that no other game has ever had a cappella music, and it fits the game so well! It made me fall in love with a cappella music!

That information about Toys For Bob at the end is already outdated as just several days ago on the anniversary of the franchise they confirmed more Crash was on the way. They've also been teasing the hell out of Wumpa League for the past year, so it's likely that they're talking about. If you're going to do more videos on Crash, you should really discuss about what happened with Crash Landed. It was originally planned to be released in 2010 and would've been the first game to be made entirely under Activision's management, but it sent the series into limbo after its cancellation. It even had a kart racing spinoff that was cancelled too, but that one has gameplay footage at least.

[@cmdrjanjalani]

Thanks for that. The end of this episode made me depressed as I thought we would never get a Crash 5.

[@JFLEstudios]

He's not entirely wrong. Regardless of if Wumpa League ever comes out (Which is super weird they haven't announced yet) most of the people who worked on it were already either laid off from Toys for Bob or are now working on COD: Warzone. So, while I do agree with you that there's more Crash on the way, the people who were basically responsible for his comeback were either fired or put to work in the COD Mines. So the franchise is kind of in a weird spot right now, no matter how much Activision and it's social media is trying to pretend that everything is a-ok.

You know a game is having troubled development when a piece of in-game dialogue mentions something that was cut, as it should have been two new dimensions, but they, ran out of time. But, with the resurgence in popularity for Crash lately, I hope someday all the cut content from the game could make it in a possible remaster.

Even if it was the usual micro-transaction shitfest the remake of CTR had unlockable skins and even completely free original tracks that showed the passion of the team behind it. Benox actually made the best of their unfortunate situation.

If you really think about it, the reason why the Bandicoot crashed and burned, it's pretty Twinsane.

[@ZootedBeaver]

Heyoooo

[@EnriqueVenturaGames]

The infamous animated movie "Food fight" deserves a What happened, if Matt has the stomach to endure it

[@EnriqueVenturaGames]

@@Djordje_Jovanovic fair :) but is only a mention at the end of the video, the movie has a crazy dev story that I would love to hear in this narrative style

[@icarus212001]

I'll agree that this game needs a remake. Personally, it was hard for me to like this game because the hit detection was buggy as hell and the unskippable cutscenes made it frustrating to play since I would die to obstacles I was nowhere near to and then watching the same scenes over and over. But a fixed remake? Fuck yeah dude, let's go

[@michaelhunt6920]

Crash Bandicoot is very near and dear to my heart. Twinsanity was actually the first video game i ever played back when i was 3 in 2004. The fact that Activision owns it hurts my soul. One thing that isn't mentioned in the video is that the original Twinsanity team shows interest in remaking the game as they drew a congratulatory picture for Vicarious Visions after N Sane Trilogy came out. Alot of the fanbase is mixed on how they feel about that but i feel like they should get second chance with that game. All of their ideas and everything i feel would be some of the best content to come from the franchise just because it fits so well with the original ideas of Crash Bandicoot as a whole. It's a shame that Activision doesn't really care even though N Sane Trilogy, Nitro Fueled, and It's About Time did so well and were so good. Either way. Great Video as always Matt. Thanks for this one.

Yo, Traveller's Tales made Toy Story 2 and A Bug's Life for the PS1, they're good in my book.

[@esemandq7286]

the fun part about crash twinsanity is that it has turned into a cult classic for mostly all of the right reasons, the most divisive part in the game itself are the evil twins being non-characters and the music being grading for some people, but it's nice that most everyone came out on top!

[@sammyondayoutube]

What happened? A goddamn masterpiece is what happened

[@MSCLeap75]

That's if it was actually good, which it wasn't.

[@yawn279]

I genuinely loved everything about this game tho, it's a classic to me, actually funny and innovative. Loved it as a kid and I love it now. I even played it again recently on an emulator. My only annoyance was the last boss fight.

[@starwave6842]

I've been enjoying these videos, they’re quite informative. I would personally like a 'What Happened' with Ratchet & Clank during the PS4 era. There was only one game released and there was also the Ratchet & Clank movie that was a flop. I think it killed off a Sly Cooper movie from being made too.

[@rac1equalsbestgame853]

Or the Future saga. I dipped my toes into Tools of Destruction's development and how the fuck that did that game not turn out a dumpster fire, much less a good game, baffles me. And ACiT... htf Insomniac managed to squeeze that game in less than a year of full development makes me scream internally.

[@ultiseth]

Imagine if Crash Twinsanity wasn't rushed

[@GamerSlyRatchet1]

Ooh, I’ve been waiting for this one. Man, Haven, Vex. Just mention Dr. Muto and you’ll cover all my obscure platforming game nostalgia.

[@monasteryfounder]

Whiplash was God fucking awful. The official promo art was the only decent thing about it. Wonder if there's a story there.

[@GamerSlyRatchet1]

@@monasteryfounder I never played it, but I did like the art. I'm not surprised, though.

[@ScarletElite]

Who would have ever imagined when this video was released that the entire Activision/Blizzard group is in the process to become part of the Xbox Game Studios group, with poor Crash and Spyro thrown into the storm. If Phil Spencer sticks into his word of saving Toys for Bob from the COD hell to have them make new games, I would like to see Twinsanity remastered without the bugs and with most (if not all) of the cut content brought back. That would be a dream come true.

[@TheEmperorHyperion]

Traveller's Tales did Dracula on SNES? So they _did_ work with Fred Fuchs.

[@Zenlore6499]

ONE IMPORTANT THING: Toys for Bob *ARE NOT* exclusively supporting COD. They and Beenox are still able to do their own things.

[@The300Player]

This game was godlike man, its so sad to see what happened to it.

[@genericfriend2568]

I'm glad that Crunch is there in the cutscene before mecha bandicoot.

[@silverboltscrapper]

He really was fooled into thinking it was a literal birthday party, hence why he's holding a cake & looking around confused.

[@BigEOT3]

Damn it Matt, the GBA Crash games that weren’t the crossover were actually pretty good. I remember playing one of them. Also what’s a Haven Call of The Who?

[@TwistedChungus]

A very messy game with an incredibly bad ending [made worse by the heavy sequel bait for a sequel that never had a chance of happening] that was written as ripoff biblical allegory, just with a smearing of star wars over the top. I played it when I was a kid, and loved it. I was a very... very stupid child.

[@setsers1]

@@TwistedChungus what the fuck?

[@TwistedChungus]

​@@setsers1 It was a reply to EnragedEric's question about Haven: Call of the King [which I probably could've made clearer]. Reading my comment, without the... experience... of seeing the game yourself probably *does* kinda make me come off as a raving lunatic, doesn't it...?

[@Insanityltself]

Its an unfinished buggy masterpiece.

[@shortfuse9443]

Since this show covers all media, i think it would be neat to get into comics by covering Spider-Man’s Clone Saga

[@Syddy_]

twinsanity was the only crash game i played as a kid and i remember loving it

[@KRDiStort]

I remember, before this game came out, there was a demo of it running at the local Blockbuster. When I tried to play it, it would load up the title screen along with Cortex saying "Crash Bandicoot: Twinsanity!" But you couldn't get off the title screen (and it said "press start," so it wasn't just a video) and the Cortex quote would just glitch out and repeat over and over. "Twinsanity! -ty! -ty! -ty! Crash Bandicoot Twinsanity! -ty! -ty!" And then when it seemed like was about to play a trailer, the title screen would just reload itself and the whole thing starts over. In hindsight, that was probably a omen.

[@claytonrios1]

It always ends up in my recommended videos but I'm always happy when this series ends up there.

[@NoOneOnYT]

How many more games are left on your list for this series?

[@AriaKyuKyu]

Well, as long as there are more crunch time, allegations, rushed deadlines and more.... Is endless :3
