[@alexalexius2688]

Crash Bandicoot 4 was amazing, I think i wouldn't like to see Crash Bandicoot in big open world, yep yep, something like this was in ps2 games, but I mean big open world and the fact that we saw 4 th part last year means it is not the end of journey of crash bandicoot

[@mikesalvucci4652]

I've been a crash bandicoot gamer for 27 years and they're still awesome, I do have little bit of thoughts about tawna's removal in the later games in the past, as it turns out, Coco Bandicoot (crash's little sister) is not tawna's replacement, sony and naughty dog had no problem with tawna at all due to her design being sexialized in a family friendly game but the game itself is for kids and adults, they wanted coco and tawna in the game but sadly universal interactive forced them remove tawna and keep coco so that's why tawna never returned in the later games in the past.

[@buildconfidencewithdeon8218]

It was probably Egg’s fault somehow

[@amirgarcia547]

@Jordy Aguilar RE4 still kept the atmosphere and sound design that made the older games creepy, along with having a defenseless character that you need to worry about in addition to your own character, which’s why it still can feel tense and even scary at times despite being more action-oriented. In fact I’d say it’s as much as a horror game as RE3 and Code Veronica were, which were also more action-oriented despite still keeping the mechanics of older RE games. Whereas in RE5, you’re in brightly lit environments for most of the game and have a partner to accompany you the entire adventure, which removes an tension or atmosphere the game can hope to have.

[@lelsewherelelsewhere9435]

People get nostalgic for things that aren't "good" anymore, that were only "good" in their time. Thus you can't have both new (and new good) and authentic (and now bad) at the same time :(

[@WR3ND]

@@lelsewherelelsewhere9435 They just get confused by what they're told "good" should be. For example, I never cared for the Crash games, but people seem to like the remakes, so I thought I might check them out. Likewise, maybe some people think they're supposed to like retro games even though they might not otherwise. I'm not sure of any older games I liked a lot and no longer care for.

[@ci7210]

Biggest takeaway. Universal Interactive sucks. They treated Naughty Dog bad despite them making the best games. And rushed many games that had potential. At least Crash was able come back to a new audience.

Games that had huge potential such as Crash bandicoot the wrath of cortex, Crash twinsanity, Crash nitro kart, and crash tag team racing but I really hope twinsanity gets a remake someday

[@MichaelHill-sg8ks]

As a die-hard Crash fan since the 90s, I can honestly say that this is one of the best video game documentaries I've ever seen. Kudos sir. Although I do have a soft spot for Twinsanity, I don't want to see it remade, unlike a lot of other fans. Nearly half of the intended content for Twinsanity was cut from the final release, and most of it has been lost forever. I also don't feel like it's the right direction for the franchise. Sure I enjoyed the comedy of Twinsanity, but I always preferred the tight gameplay of the earlier games. I would much rather see a new Crash game, hopefully one that's even better than the ones I played as a kid. I don't want Crash to just live off nostalgia. He needed the N.Sane trilogy to put him back in the spotlight, and let's face it, we've always wanted CTR online, but no more remakes are necessary for the series. Crash needs a brand new success.

[@KidSnivy69]

Unfortunately, I don't think the higher up will care what fan want.

[@KoolRanch]

I do agree, for the same reasons you stated, and also one other that I have. Crash Twinsanity is a very important game, and I think many big gaming-related corporations should learn from it. It shows what happens when you don’t allow devs enough time to complete their game. Just looking at the art in the game makes me wonder just how the game could’ve been if the devs were given another year or two. What we ended up getting was the polished alpha version; the music was nice, had some great writing (that even joked about how much time they had and TT’s situation at he time), and had some memorable moments. I personally can’t play it anymore, though.

[@commentarysheep]

What about both? If you mix the tight control scheme of the original trilogy with Twinsanity's open world environments and its slapstick comedy, you could have a very fun Crash game as a result. If a Twinsanity remake would ever happen, they should go for the original control scheme of the PS1 trilogy, while adding back the cut content, fixing the notorious framedrop and other bugs, providing 60 FPS with it and of course, high resolution models and textures. Combining the best of the two worlds would ultimately mean the future of Crash, for me at least.

[@jaanoboss]

Brand new maps and mechanics in warped/WoC style would be perfect

[@ImperatorNocturne]

Twinsanity was surely one of the best entries in the series and even though i would love to have a version where i can choose which levels to play and relieve the great music and comedy aswell as all the fresh gameplay mechanics, i must agree that i want a brand new game. However i fear that just like Wrath of Cortex playing it safe the same could happen to a new entry depending on how much freedom Activision gives to the developers, but maybe we get lucky and get a game akin to Evolution

[@silobobus3268]

When i first read the title, i assumed this was just gonna be one of those ''evolution'' videos that just show clips from all the games. I'm just happy that there's someone willing to put in more effort than that and actually DISCUSS the game's evolution.

I can remember getting my first game system: The Playstation One, as a child. A woman at our church gave it to me, along with several games. The first one I tried was Spyro 3, and I loved it, so I tried the other games as well. After much enjoying the Spyro games, a box with a certain orange bandicoot on it caught my eye. I immediately inserted the disc into the PS1 and tried it out. From that moment forward, Crash and Spyro have been my favorite games EVER. I still play them and their remakes to this day.

Crash Bandicoot is such a tragedy in video game history, he went from being the mascot of Playstation with great games, to a third party mascot for Activision with mid games, to a forgotten piece of gaming history almost. Like the fact that he was as big as Mario and Sonic at one point is crazy when you compare to his popularity today, where hesjust seen as a nostalgic icon for millennials and to a lesser extend, Gen Z. Hes truly what a lot of people think what happened to Sonic after S3 and Knuckles, a washed up icon of a by gone era.

I watched the whole video and I can't help but smile throughout this video. It's the perfect documentary of Crash I've watched here in KZbin and I can't believe how this franchise became a big part of my life as a gamer. I only played the initial trilogy and CTR when I was a kid since I only had a PS1 console. After that, my parents couldn't afford to buy me another console so I've lost touch to other Crash Bandicoot games. Only bought a PS4 Pro last year and I was in awe how stunning Crash Bandicoot has become thanks to Activision and Beenox. So much nostalgia. So much love.

[@neelmaniyadav7216]

If there is one thing I learned from this video, it's that Universal Studios had no idea how to handle the Crash franchise and blamed passionate developers for their own bad decisions. They just wanted to follow the trend and milk the franchise instead of letting the developers do something unique.

The Crash Bandicoot games I remember the most are the original trilogy, Crash Team Racing and though I never played it, Crash Bash. I remember playing that Wrath of Cortex game which had really, really, really long load times on the PS2 but I later played it on the original Xbox which not only looked better but had shorter loading times. The other Crash games I didn't really care much for. But the ones that I really did like were the original trilogy so I was glad that Vicarious Visions made the Crash Bandicoot N-Sane Trilogy. And I'm also glad that Crash Bandicoot 4 actually feels like the original games even though Toys For Bob developed it. They also developed the Spyro Reignited Trilogy which looked amazing.

*THANK YOU* for not calling the N. Sane Trilogy and Nitro-Fueled remasters. I'm so sick of everyone and Activision calling them remasters when they are clearly Remakes.

[@Nick930]

Well theyre a strange mix of both. They are using the original level geometry dor the n sane trilogy. I do believe nitro fueled is a complete remake thise

[@SegaMario]

@@Nick930 Just because they are recreating the original level geometry, doesn't automatically make it a remaster. A remaster is taking an already made game and enhancing it with things like widescreen support, 60fps and better lighting. These take less time and resources to make. Examples include: Halo: Master Chief Collection, Wind Waker HD and the Metal Gear HD Collection. A remake is building a game *COMPLETELY* from the ground up from scratch, made in the style of a particular game, which may include additional content if so desired. Examples include the Crash and Spyro Trilogy remakes, this game and Link's Awakening on Switch.

[@Nick930]

@@SegaMario nooo they didnt recreate the geometry. They literally were given the geometry to build from. Sony actually gave them the original code to use. Yes it is a remake, but its nearly identical to the originals. When people think remakes, they think tomb raider anniversary or resident evil 2, both of which are based on the originals, but look and play nothing like them

[@SegaMario]

@@Nick930 Well, remakes can either play identically to the original or play completely different. My point still stands. Pokemon FireRed & LeafGreen play exactly like Pokemon Red & Blue/Green and those are factually remakes.

I loved the original Naughty Dog Crash Bandicoot classics. When I bought Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled for the nintendo switch just a couple of weeks after it hit the store shelves, I instantly became hooked. I also have the N Sane Trilogy Remasters & I LOVED them. Vicarious Visions remastered the original ps1 classics so well with the recreation that it even impressed the original creators at Naughty Dog including the founders Jason Ruben & Andy Gavin who were absolutely impressed by how Vicarious Visions perfectly redesigned the games they came up with. Of course the super fans of crash bandicoot who have been with the series since it first started in '96 about the difficulty of the N Sane Trilogy compared to the original ps1 versions, I disagree with them. I actually find the N Sane Trilogy remasters easier than the originals. Can't wait to see what the upcoming title Crash Team Rumble brings. Looks like a fun game.

I love all the Crash games up until Wrath of Cortex. I really like WoC but anything after that was not very good. I remember one of the GBA games was pretty fun but nowhere near as good as the PS1 games. Also it's funny that Naughty Dog made the best kart racer of the era and not a single Crash kart game has come close since. It's quite a departure from any other game they made and they absolutely killed it.

[@MusicWizard85]

Grew up on the originals and they're still the best in my opinion. The Crash N Sane Trilogy messed up the physics and jumping making the games harder than the original PS games. At least the Spyro trilogy was remade properly (by Toys For Bob) and still feels like the originals. CTRacing remake is more playable than N Sane Trilogy. Then they released Crash 4 It's About Time which is just too tough and frustrating at times taking away some of the fun factor. I also somewhat enjoyed CB Wrath of Cortex on PS2 and to a lesser extent Twinsanity.

How haven't you got more dubs. Amazing video. X

[@BallyBoy95]

This was actually very good. Loved the gameplay+music montage in the intro, as well as the high quality gameplay footage to complement your speech, it really hooked me in! Do make some for other classics. Spyro? Harry Potter games (if you played them)? etc. Great work!

[@Nick930]

I have played both the Spyro games and the old harry potter games. But for now, my focus is on franchises with new entries releasing soon. This includes Call of Duty, Gears of War, Halo, etc. Tune in each month for a new "History of-" and be sure to check my channel for a backlog of all the previous month documentaries on other classic series.

@@Nick930 Rewatching 3 years later, and this video is still solid aha (and have enjoyed many of your other vids).

[@SupaMaan699]

I love the passion you put into your videos. Some really incredible stuff. You deserve so much more recognition. All the best to you.

Thank you so much for making these History video games series

[@lelsewherelelsewhere9435]

Imagine if all these other studios made games with their own new unique story and characters (as naughty dog did inventing crash), and were given the freedom to make them they wanted? These studios being forced to keep the same old story, characters, aesthetic, feel in general, seemed so tragic to me. "Here, rehash the same dead horse, and just make it 'fresh'... but not enough so fans complain... but 'fresh' enough or everyone else will complain... oh, and if too 'fresh, we'll hire someone else half way through." It's like, there was too much money in games, so new creative forces didn't couldn't afford to enter, and studios were too afraid (and weren't forced) to take risks, instead settling on guaranteed just good enough.

Despite how much of a rocky history the organge marsupial has had, I’m at least glad to see that the series is finally back on track with the solid remakes of both the first three games and CTR, along with the very great Crash 4. Let’s just hope that it can stay that way, and that Spyro gets his own numbered sequel sometime in the near future as well...👀👀

I still have my Crash Bandicoot Superpack for the orginal xbox. That thing is worth some decent money, holding onto all my originals

[@LoganT547]

What is “mpney”?
