Crash Twinsanity XBOX & PS2 comparison

All versions were captured from the same capture card with the same settings.
Used NTSC-U XBOX and NTSC-U 1.0 PS2, both on real hardware.
For specific version differences check out Beyond Twinsanity at beyondtwinsanit...

[@48gamerboy]

Xbox: performs better (less shading) Ps2: looks better (more shading)

[@TAURASIIGamingTV]

48Gamerboy That's actually true but they both perform 60fps, but at the iceberg lab part that's where the ps2 struggles, but not the xbox even the character models look smoother on the xbox.

[@Fogolol]

actually my ps2 runs the iceberg lab flawlessly though the evil academy will lag if you look at it from certain points for example just before you enter the elevator to leave after beating the area if you overview the area the ps2 will burn

[@MDSai650]

That's so you don't notice too much of the drop in quality it has

[@CrashFan95]

The PS2 background and colours are a little bit more enlightened!

[@LVB]

+CrashFan95 Hi! Yes, I see it, as well as you. On PS2 image is more vivid and colorful

[@supremekhi7968]

+CrashFan95 Sadly I got Xbox

[@CrashFan95]

+Mekhi Gayle I'm not sure if it's going to be much of a help but you can always increase the brightness and the contrast of your TV.

[@FasoOoLi202]

+CrashFan95 you right but the xbox’s visual is sharper

[@SuperZach2005]

CrashFan95 I

[@megabusterm17]

The game looks smoother and runs better in the Xbox version, but the PS2 version is more detailed.

[@ayanoaishi3313]

Better shading too

[@alanquispe165]

Megabuster M-17 vaya crash twinsanity en xbox se ve mas oscuro los gráficos en la PS2 se be con mas claridad

[@megabusterm17]

+Alan quispe I don't speak spanish. xP Me no habla espanol, ingles por favor.

[@KingPloddy]

Megabuster M-17 Ps2 Was better

[@yisussenpai5741]

Alan quispe no saben español pero, dijo que en Xbox va más fluido y en PS2 se ve mejor pero más lento

[@christopherb.5797]

Too bad the GameCube version was cancelled.

[@RoddyDev]

Xbox looks like it runs at 60 fps, but no shading. PS2 runs at 30 fps, but with shading.

[@BOOMDIGIDYable]

Roddy ps2 runs at 60 I still have my copy lol

[@nicholasnolan2086]

BOOMDIGIDYable mine doesn't

[@VexAcer]

Both versions run at a rather consistent 60, PS2 happens to have more dips than the Xbox though. As for why the PS2 footage is recorded at 30fps I don't know.

[@MadDogSolo]

Roddy He used PAL copy, so it runs slower.

[@pandagaming4907]

LikeABossDude we had 69hrz by then

[@squalo5218]

Wow, i came here to see technical differences in the consoles visuals, not a bunch of console gamer arguing over Xbox vs Playstation

[@RhynoSubs]

Next the Gamecube version? . . . Just kidding

[@JayboCorp.2014]

If they didn't CANCEL the GameCube Version I'd HAVE IT!!!!!!!!

[@minecraftpvp8040]

+Jaybo Corp.™ they cancelled it because of the Console Limitations of the GameCube

[@KhriszB]

+MineCraft PVP I think they deleted cause the 1.5 Gb limit...

[@JayboCorp.2014]

+MineCraft PVP: I think they could have gotten it done anyway.

[@minecraftpvp8040]

+Jaybo Corp.™ if they did it would not have a lot of shaders and particles and everything would be bright like the ps2 version but without the shadows on the characters

[@-neomercer-8687]

0:26 AHHH THE XBOX IS INFECTING EVERYTHING!!!!

[@Shockwave99999]

Lol

[@HamzaHaqqi]

How to make an XBOX and PS2 games look different: 1) Put the brightness low on one. 2) But the brightness high on the other! 3) DONE

[@ozealousstreamer899]

LionCrash may be ture

[@provolonefucker64]

You forgot the framerate

[@KingGargantuas]

Can't we all just agree that Crash Twinsanity looks really good for the time regardless?

[@sergioloaiza4822]

2023, and I agree

[@NanaKyoto]

PS2 is brighter and more detailed but Xbox is darker which is odd but the visuals are sharper.

[@poly_g6068]

Xbox version has anti-aliasing I believe.

[@NanaKyoto]

Poly_G Precisely.

[@mdude3]

+Poly_G So does the PS2. The XBox had stronger hardware compared to the PS2 (you can see more particles and better anti-aliasing).

[@qwam428]

Xbox also ran at 60 FPS

[@gdt3912]

Qeaman that doesn't matter 30fps and 60fps look the same

[@Kuzamer]

One of the rare occasions where the PS2 Version looks better than the Xbox Version.

[@ReSetAMV]

HOI BUDDEH! OuO

[@RedFlameFox]

Not really rare, if the development started on PS2 usually the PS2 version was better, and that wasn't really rare in that era.

[@MenuMinyu]

Penro I actually have autism I don't know why people think autism=idiot Albert Einstein had autism

[@o.g.6605]

RedFlameFox development actually started on GameCube, then on ps2 and xbox, but eventually cancelled on gc due to disc limitations and time constraints.

[@ShadowLucario64]

Depends cause the Xbox version has a better frame rate but the ps2 has lighting and colors​@@RedFlameFox

[@qwam428]

Looks like the xbox runs at 60fps

[@riot9179]

Xbox >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Pshit2

[@flivius1624]

Riot +not fanboy+

[@zingyburger]

Riot Xbox is terrible

[@sarge2335]

They both run at 60 fps

[@AB-mp7ss]

stefán both runs at 60 fps

[@extradipboneless]

The differences in colours and shading are so massive! Never thought, that I would prefer a PS2 base version over a Xbox conversion.

[@LennyQUMFIF]

Xbox runs better and also wide escreen 16:9 on Xbox

[@francovizstudios]

I think the ps2 looks better than Xbox. Which is weird because usually it's the other way around

[@finnsky3429]

francovizstudios ps2 is known to have color contrasted games while xbox is known for more detail . This was switched with the ps3 & xbox 360 where the xbox had more color contrasted games while the ps3 was more detail oriented

[@Sitdruk97]

Same

[@Sitdruk97]

Though in gameplay Xbox looks smoother

[@hugo-garcia]

1:30 Here we see, xbox has better anti aliasing, less jaggies overal, Better draw distance, bette detail on far objects and also widescreen support and also progressive 4800P, but it seems this comparison is 480i. If was 480P would be even better !!! Sry but 480i has not chance against superior 480P progressive image.

[@Lightersundew0]

I don't give a shit what anybody says. The Playstation 2 version is superior

[@JrrocksGames]

Playstation

[@pandagaming4907]

visually yes but not in performance

[@riot9179]

Nope

[@JimmyJames10-k7v]

Xbox

[@gamma3163]

Same

[@thehr99]

I love coming back to this. PS2 had the colors and shading while Xbox had the performance. Might be me but on the PS2 the characters do more blinking.

[@StuffyAnt]

Sorry for the late response but I'm pretty sure the animation loop for blinking in the Xbox version is way slower than in the PS2 version for some reason

[@mauriciominicuci6544]

​@@StuffyAntsame with TWoC, in GC characters blink a lot, XBOX it's between, and PS2 they blink much less

[@oshul_]

now I'm not a fan boy for ether consoles but yes ps2 has much better graphics but its slower. so really if you care about graphics go to the ps2 version but if you want max fps then go for the Xbox version. but I think we can all agree that THE BACKWORD COMPATIBILITY FOR THIS ON 360 WAS TERRIBLE!

[@oshul_]

Really? oh sorry (I'm a highlighted comment :D)

[@nikokemppi_4887]

And btw fps doesn't really matter on offline platform game

[@MadDogSolo]

And the PS2 version was the PAL one.

[@bigcade554]

Niko Kemppi No, it does matter for platformers.

[@nikokemppi_4887]

+Uncle Ocelot Hmm... And how is that? If so, it doesn't do much difference.

[@GMMXX80]

I thought the PS2 was a nightmare to develop for and the Xbox was super easy, so why does the PS2 version look better? Xbox looks sharper, and that glossy look seems to stand out on the Xbox version, but the colors are bland and the textures are flat. Yup, PS2 takes the win.

[@sunlessheaven]

not really

[@everenjohn]

I love the Xbox style tho, its more flat and cartoonish than the realistic looks the PS2 was going for. They tried to be realistic but it became uglier.

[@Essu_]

It's because the PS2 version was the one that took higher priority. Crash fans were more likely to own a PS2 than an XBOX.

[@RedFlameFox]

They started developing the game on the PS2, and then they made a lazy port for the Xbox (and this happened quite often). I mean, I can see why they did it, they barely had the time to make the actual game, optimize the Xbox port wasn't really a priority for them... Crash games never sold well on not-PlayStation consoles anyway, so they didn't care.

[@TAURASIIGamingTV]

it kinda a tie to me, they both run 480p

[@anonimosemnome1122]

Ps2 Wins

[@hansweiss469]

No. Xbox wins.

[@hillhank3380]

Just play the game I honestly don't care which console I play I have the Xbox version just play the game if you care too much about the graphics your not going to have fun

[@xsupersonic971kingdomheart7]

+Hans Weiss its his opinion duh for my opinion ps2 wins

[@khaledbaadarani]

+Hans Weiss ps2 won u dumb

[@cliffvictory5981]

Dickard if you say console wars are shit, then why are you saying PS2 is better?

[@krysttelmarchan8064]

PS2: has 100 o/o light Xbox: is so dark

[@LogicalMarcochip]

Basically, the PS2 version has more lighting effects and shades and more vibrant colors.

[@Mr.Atari2600]

That sad moment when a PS2 port looked better than the Xbox port.

[@RedFlameFox]

Not that it wasn't actually common during that era, expecially in this case, since the PS2 is the original version and the Xbox is the port. If development started on PS2 or GC, usually the Xbox version used to look worse and they didn't even try to optimize it, expecially if the developer was japanese... I mean, even big games like MGS2 did look better on PS2, and that was a timed exclusive.

[@Fogolol]

are the ps2's lagged zones fixed in the xbox version? For example evil academy and the evil lair's entrance before you fight the ants

[@squeegeemcgee3917]

Basically dropped some shading and lighting on the Xbox so it performs better, but the PS2 version looks better Just depends on whether you favor appearance or performance

[@destroyermcwwarner996]

Performance.

[@revenge1205]

This is a similar situation as Tak and the Power of Juju, where the PS2 version has much more vibrant colors and better shaders, whereas the Xbox version has inferior shaders and colors to the PS2 version but it runs smoother and has more particle effects. If you ask me, I’d sacrifice the more vibrant colors and better shaders for the better performance and extra particle effects because those benefits bring a much smoother experience overall.

[@Legomacgamer]

The PS2 actually has more effects, as seen in the Iceberg Lab area where the particles last longer.

[@youssefcrash8566]

for me the ps2 grafics is better than the xbox

[@boongiebooze3473]

youssef Crash Same

[@Armm8991]

but at what cost... it runs at 30 fps on ps2 and 60 on xbox

[@monk5058]

👍👍

[@trunguss]

Armando Not really. My copy ran at 60 or 50 fps. Console is PAL.

[@finnsky3429]

It's not the graphics but the coloring is contrasted more than the xbox version. The xbox is more powerful than the ps2. The only time when xbox beat playstation in power

[@Chrisboy265]

I remember playing this on the PS2 years ago. Now that I'm seeing a comparison between the two versions I wish I played it on the Xbox. It's smoother and looks better IMO.

[@noam6175]

Mmmmmmm no, in PS2 looks better xD, in XBOX the game looks worst but go in 60fps.

[@noname-jt6kl]

Pff your telling me having no lighting at all looks better? Count yourself lucky you had the ps2 version

[@NetyashaRoozi]

The xbox version just looks terrible to me, no shading and terrible particles ew

[@RhynoSubs]

Más respetio con la aldia e Inaloa

[@RhynoSubs]

de la costa pleve

[@ryry8533]

but 60 fps.

[@taddeoprocopio3682]

MADRE MIA RHYNO QUE HACES AQUI COMPAÑERO

[@toooydoeur]

fusionfrost 9358 nobody cares

[@boshygamer32]

The big majority of the differences are in shading however most of it are actually light bugs like the last scene everything was already getting shaded by the boiler room doom zone on PS2 while the xbox was more acurate

[@gamemanksa2009]

well the xobx have a better framerate (it's a solid 60fps ) and reslition looks a bit better while the ps2 suffers from slowness a bit but in terms in colors and the texuers the pps2 wins for me i will chose the c=xobx coz i want to play the game in 60fps

[@epsilonsmind4803]

Yeah coz i want better resilition and texuers and c=xobx has that and pps2 not

[@crashbandicoot4048]

ps2 is most beautifoul than xbox .it has more ilumination in the characters

[@brodiechur2118]

+Crash Bandicoot Nice name c:

[@crashbandicoot4048]

+SpiderMate jajajaj Fans - Why SONY dont buy crash ?!?! we need a new game of Crash SONY -we dont have 200millons dolars ...we are poor ... and Activision is a peace of sh*t

[@brodiechur2118]

Jihad Hassan lol

[@audreycullen5696]

PS2 version looks so much nicer!

[@TAURASIIGamingTV]

Xbox performs better(60fps) but agree with u

[@AB-mp7ss]

TAURASII ps2 runs at 60 too lol

[@Qudoos_Ezz_Al-Arab]

😩😩

[@salmon-stan]

Right at the very beginning - it bothers me so much that Cortex (and Crash, later) are blinking different eyes. Does that mean the game decides randomly when to make the models blink? It's not pre-decided during the cutscene?

[@iiOmarSP]

Came to witness differences since I just bought the Xbox version for my collection, not a bunch of nerds arguing on whether the PS2 version is better, or the Xbox version is better.

[@yoelazar3935]

Ps2 version has better lighting, but the xbox one had better particle effects and a more consistent fps. It also looks sharper overall. Same amount of glitches in both versions tho. :(

[@spaghettitaco9316]

I think there are xbox exclusive bugs actually lol

[@cosasdelaonecoincrew8982]

people who had childhood we played it on ps2 apoco not people

[@SilverCipher00]

PS2 is always the only version I'll ever play.

[@marukocore]

Is it weird that i know all the lines in crash twinsanity?..

[@bluedragon9925]

Here's what I can gather.. PS2: Better lighting and colors. Xbox: Smoother edges and better framerate. Basically the same deal as with the Dreamcast and GameCube versions of Sonic Adventure 1.

[@TAURASIIGamingTV]

BlueDragon992 I choose Xbox, I agree what u see

[@AbimayoXD]

I like the colors on ps2 better but the Xbox has better character models in my opinion

[@brandoncooper4173]

my favorite game of all time no matter what like if you love the look of the water in this game

[@RedFlameFox]

The light effects and colors are better on PS2, other than that, looks like it's pretty much the same game.

[@hugo-garcia]

1:30 Here we see, xbox has better anti aliasing, less jaggies overal, Better draw distance, bette detail on far objects and also widescreen support and also progressive 4800P, but it seems this comparison is 480i. If was 480P would be even better !!!

[@MichaelM28]

Actually widescreen is supported on the PS2 version as well

[@BoshMind]

ugh my tv has a ghosting issue, so everything on my game looks like a gameboy game

[@yagtam703]

To me, it looks like the PS2 version used pre-lighting. While the XBOX version seems to use actual lighting.

[@jiazji]

Xbox has a good framerate PS2 Has perfect lighting idk what to choose

[@flivius1624]

jiazji taking the cutsines (shown in the vid) the frame rating doesn't affect the looks of the cut.. using that i think PS2 won

[@bary1374]

jiazji both versions actually run at 60 fps

[@Smileosaur]

The game is smoother on XBOX, but more detailed on the PS2

[@rasdheedhorne8801]

idk if it's just me but on the Xbox side everything seems a little smaller

[@UltraJordanGaming]

In the first scene I prefered PS2 because it's more colourful. But in the second scene I prefered Xbox, the PS2 version had weird shading and a green tint on the characters.

[@mdude3]

That's the Iceberg Lab lighting. It's supposed to be green.

[@jerryalexis576]

The PS2 has more vibrant colors and certain effects seem better, but the Xbox Version runs smoother and has a more crisper image and other effects like the smoke seem better here.

[@MisterMult.]

in my opinion i found the xbox colors too weak, check out the iceberg lab on ps2 it has fog and a shine like it was snow and on xbox it takes away all the fog the colors in the xbox version the iceberg lab snow is gray it takes off completely the color of snow, I don't know my opinion

[@Trashheapcuntspawn]

I don't believe that this footage was not tampered with

[@gaiusjuliuscaesar8923]

Witch one would you prefer ???

[@shaitet]

PS2 - None or less anti-aliasing, shading and better color, some dips in framerate in small parts of the game but otherwise a good 60FPS. The video could be PAL so it's probably running at 50FPS instead, making it look worse than it really is. Xbox - Anti-aliasing, no shading and desaturated color, more consistent framerate.

[@TyrannoWright]

Xbox has the frame rate and resolution. PS2 has the graphics and stability. Edit: PS2 version holds even better on PCSX2 with 60fps and 4K.

[@kersaherpafuqer784]

WHY?! PS2 is the greatest console, I've grown up with it. But the OG Original Xbox was more graphically Superior, yet you can't tell that through this video.

[@TAURASIIGamingTV]

I grown with both consoles but I agree, like the Xbox one X, the console is pretty powerful

[@CuboidPixel]

The XBOX version runs better and is unsaturated and has less shading. The PS2 has brighter colors runs a little slower and adds a greenish tint to the iceberg lab cutscene. I prefer the PS2 look but that's just me

[@trunguss]

They both run at the same framerate for me.

[@TheGrayMann]

Hmm, I don't remember the PS2 version being any worse in quality or frames than the XBox edition. It looked pretty much the exact same in both. Although the display we used might have had an effect on that, old big box tv.

[@jackcottle8144]

Which one is the superior version????

[@Mr.Atari2600]

Xbox: Higher Frame Rate & less pixelated. PS2: Brighter Colors, Lighting, & more particles + more blinking! If you prefer your game to run Smoother, go with Xbox. If you want your game to look a bit nicer, go with PS2.

[@chriscross1717]

PS2: No antialising XBOX: No HDR PS2: Low Quality Shading XBOX: Only Props and Player Shading PS2: Bloom (if available) XBOX: Bloom (ocassionaly) aaaaand the ethernal battle: PS2: 30fps XBOX: 50-59fps

[@crashniels]

CHRISTIAN GAME. Enterprises they infact are both at 60fps

[@andregemeo23]

Ps2 run this game at 60 FPS!

[@GWKTM]

I know a couple of other video games which's GameCube versions got cancelled

[@Soundwaves329]

Ps2: Has realistic lighting Xbox: better frame rate

[@GWKTM]

What about GameCube version? Also, could you compare WoC and CNK as well?

[@CrazyMon3yCashMon3y]

When I had it for Xbox at the time i was kid i ddnt really get that far in the game but when i had a ps2 and i still do.. things started to change but I think thry should bring thsy game back as a remastered for ps4 again i really enjoyed that game lot all they need to do is fix some stuff like glitches and shit nd it straight 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@noname-jt6kl]

Ps2 version is superior in so many ways. The lighting actually exists, and the slight performance dips aren't enough to make it worse.

[@tailsknuxfan101]

0:08 Crash be like: screw Xbox ima go to PS2

[@finnsky3429]

Hen The G most developers went with the ps2 at that time

[@loetsi4745]

The visuals for xbox are better, the color and shading is better for ps2. id call this a tie in my book.

[@TAURASIIGamingTV]

same

[@Obviousthrowawayaccount]

Shadows are higher res on Xbox with better performance but the PS2 version has far better lighting.

[@Lin-bt5cg]

Java version of crash twinsanity: so am i nothing to you(:

[@nightterror6727]

The PS2 version has much better shading and lighting.

[@finnsky3429]

Night Terror looks less detailed

[@alien31ita]

The Xbox Version uses texture for open/cloe eyes of characters just look Crash in both of the screens

[@NA-wj5cy]

OMG ps2 is so good

[@destroyermcwwarner996]

I like how Xbox makes a sacrifice of shades for more Powerful play. Yes

[@GEObandicoot]

i think on xbox its at 60 fps but colors are bad shading too ps2 is on 30 fps but colors are better shading too i pick ps2 version ii love this game is my childhood i remember playing this when i was 6 now im becoming 16 damm goood memories

[@theloaten17]

PS2 has better lighting effects. Xbox has box has brighter colors but hardly any shadow effects.

[@hi-ft9gn]

Guys the colors in ps2 is high in xbox is low

[@s.a.gonzalezhidalgo.1840]

They should launch a version collector of Crush for the next gen. I miss so much this game.

[@Retrovin_Youtube]

I don’t see that many differences aside from the ps2 version being a little brighter

[@JCBro-yg8vd]

Ironic how the PS2 version looks better than the X-Box version.

[@marko-gj1uj]

It could be better if Evil Twins and Evil Crash captured Tawna and Coco and Crash will be mad about this that he would beat a living shit out of them.

[@Ara24_td]

Okay but witch one of them are supposed to look better?

[@joao-mo6iy]

Las dos son magníficas!

[@nxvehard9611]

For me activiision has to remake crash titans and twinsanity.Like if you agree

[@ThreateningDarkWolf]

People are still fighting about this?.

[@flyweight8541]

Yo creo que entre los dos, si en PS2 estubiera equilibrado el ajuste de colores sería 10 veces mejor

[@_jo4quin]

i like the ps2 version :D

[@shadowpulveriser]

I honestly think all Crash Bandicoot games should be playstation only

[@11010110101001010100]

The Xbox version is dimmer but has a slightly better resolution But its effects look better than the PS2. On the other hand the PS2 has better colors and lighting.

[@JeanNascimentoJNX]

0:29 look at the middle one he's holding a cake and wearing a hat lol

[@derpynube3254]

I know im very late but thats crunch bandicoot, who thought it was an actual bday

[@adham_ak4615]

Nice

[@egyptiankingfsgout2438]

Okay so it looks better on ps2. But is running much smoother on xbox

[@TAURASIIGamingTV]

yep true

[@hansweiss469]

The Xbox version has better frame rates than the Ps2 version, but the lighting and pixel rendering are worse.

[@Mariocat99]

if twinsanity remastered, hope it on xbox one and ps4,and i thought twinsanity was ps2 only

[@Gabelite]

wait wasn't crash twinsanity an Ps2 Exclusive?

[@Gabelite]

lol that's really weird because i had the og Xbox back in the day and i was so pissed that i couldn't play this game.guess i never knew they made a xbox version.

[@TAURASIIGamingTV]

no, sony own crash for a few years until crash bash came out

[@TheDog7118]

gamecube only system that got axe

[@ramiqudimat]

they should've released this for psp

[@nekometalsonic8383]

That's weird, the Xbox is more powerful than the PS2 but here the PS2 version looks better than the Xbox version...

[@SniperEliza26]

am i the only one who thinks the graphics on xbox are much more better?

[@-Lola.]

So the ps2 version looks and sound nicer but the Xbox version plays smoother

[@bobthefabcatuwu6176]

Xbox has smoother framerate, while Ps2 has more colorful visuals.

[@bary1374]

Spring 101 both versions run at 60 fps
