The Best Crash Bandicoot Has Ever Looked is Actually a Mod

[@gamificationoflife]

I liked Coco's crash 4 design from the start, the crash design grew on me, but I have to admit those mod designs look really great

[@MrBoomxl]

I never liked Coco's Crash 4 design, such a weird head shape compared to what she's always had

[@Mike14264]

​​​@@MrBoomxlwell, I can say I like her eyes in Crash 4 a lot more than her monumental, eyeshadow-covered peepers from the N. Sane Trilogy (just a big clash of colors, it never felt quite right to me). Well, at least she didn't have the eyes of the original Trophy Girls in CTR, which makes them look like they're assaulting me.

[@ArchaiaMeta]

nah 4 design sucks

[@CJ-bp7ec]

This is perfect ive been searching for this mod for a long time now thank you

[@mediamuncher69]

I wish we got one more game with the n sane trilogy art style that was an original story/game. We only got two gam3s with it.

[@LunarAbyss]

Yeah, hopefully this is toys for bobs last time with Crash. Hopefully after the Microsoft acquisition Microsoft realizes crash’s potential.

[@PastaPower-64]

I agree dude! That skin mod should be Officially a skin in the actual game as a free dlc of sorts that brings back the classic crash and coco feel! *Activision, Take Notes.*

[@LunarAbyss]

100%🔥

[@taecampus]

While i think Crash 4's designs were "eh, neat" at best, i really prefer the N-Sane model, graphics and all. It looks gorgeous, and honestly it looks how we saw the games as very young kids. Why did they change that? Who knows 😅

[@Mike14264]

I dunno, but I've always really liked the Crash 4 designs myself, alongside the N. Sane Trilogy ones. I really don't get why some folks keep throwing hissy fits about it. I mean, the one thing worth complaining about with Crash 4 is 100%ing it, and especially 106%ing it. The graphics tho? Nah man, absolutely killer.

[@taecampus]

@@Mike14264 oooooooohhh hooooooooo mate, you are not lying. The many task you have to do to get 100%, and then 106% are..... N Sane 😃

[@taecampus]

@@Mike14264 yeah but whoever thought it was a good idea to make those reverse levels with some graphical difference, those other side character levels where you HAVE to replay and fully complete the Crash level, completely take away the traditional Crash Dash and replace it with a lame 3 spin dash thing, and just make bonus cutscene just showing that "Oh noes, Uka Uka is alive.....even though no one thought he died" were complete bone heads 🙄

[@Mike14264]

@@taecampus yeah, Boys for Tob absolutely overdid it. It's too much fluff with too much repetition, the three dash thing is just silly, and a final 106% reward cutscene that really ain't worth it. I dunno why is this game series so adamant about, I dunno, rewarding you with an extra level after you 100% it, a secret boss, anything that involves gameplay. I haven't played the game yet, and now, I'm honestly kinda left wanting to play only the N. Sane Trilogy if I'm being honest. Maybe play Crash 4 casually, and complete it at my leisure to the extent I can stomach (heck, even when I played N. Tranced on my DS, I really didn't feel like doing the Time Trials, at least right after being done with the stages, maybe later tho. I really don't wanna take away from Soys for Cob's merits here, but c'mon now, some of this stuff does look a bit asinine at times. Thankfully, it's only for fully completing the game, because casually, it does look like a huge joy. Then again, I've seen some folks complete the game like four times back to back, so the game definitely has its die hard fans.

[@Skrenja]

Nah, N.Sane trilogy looks washed out and lifeless. The original trilogy had a way better art style and use of color.

[@Canymous-InDreams]

Soooo much better (my opinion) it's a mix between original design and N. Sane Trilogy one. Nearly perfect

[@JackSnake]

Naughty Dog's OG Crash is the real deal and the best design by far.

[@JordyBoothy]

Omg yes! His original personality really comes through there!

[@backatit4757]

Is there any gameplay with this mod?

[@adrianBtabares]

Now this is how Crash must look Just take the original and tweak just a bit of it, instead of giving him a new design for every new game

[@LunarAbyss]

Literally! Like I swear it isn't that hard lol

[@nightrunner4817]

Now that you think about it, why didn’t they do this before, I guess they wanted to try something new, which I guess isn’t a bad thing.

[@soowshh1529]

I actually like his design in crash 4 they managed to make the best design for the character

[@ryanmachdan6441]

They literally take the original and tweak a little bit. It wasn't like those ps2 games. Crash 4 is beautifully designed

[@codymerrell5387]

Hopefully Toys For Bob Has Gen 4 Spyro Design Reflects from Reignited Spyro Design But Gen 4 Spyro’s Wings wouldn’t be too gigantic but Large Enough that Spyro can Keep His Ability To Fly Anytime Any Level Without Limitations but With New Rewarding Challenges Boss Battles and Upgradeable Qualities That Should should take place In SPYRO 4 On behalf of Spyro Fans that does prefer Spyro keeping His ability to Fly and for More but Better Creative Opportunities That should take place in Spyro’s games Especially in SPYRO 4 But how to Convince Toys For Bob ?

[@crashbandi_76]

I think that the mod surpassed the original and that the developers would have stuck with the remake trilogy, can you imagine that Activision wants to bring back the crash of the n sane trilogy

[@joaogrrr]

Now if only the most could fix Crash "4" physics and absurd crate count...

[@Mike14264]

That's the one thing I wish folks would fix. Like, physics? Maybe just the bear riding from what I've heard. But the boxes? Yeah, too many hidden crates for my liking. Also, you putting the 4 between quotation marks makes me feel like the Crash fandom became just like the Sonic fandom, with the complaints about models, nitpicky details, and being upset over "true sequels", "worthy sequels" and "retcons". The Crash series may have WAY less games than the Sonic series overall, but to be fair, it's only lately that I've been feeling that, whereas with the Sonic fandom, it was about as early as the 2000s. Just be glad you have no comic nor cartoon series to also argue over.

[@joaogrrr]

@@Mike14264 Nice try but I'd rather have nothing than this

[@TobiasTheWolf]

Are these mods only for PC or can they be put on PS4?

[@LunarAbyss]

They are for PC, no clue if they can be ported to PS4.

[@Focused2341]

Don’t fix it if it ain’t broken. I also don’t like what they’ve done to his design. But it goes further than that for me. I don’t like how they’ve made crash basically a mental-cuckoo basket case the further into the series we’ve gotten. Or how overly pathetic and sad they’ve made cortex for that matter. In the first 3 games, crash had kind of a badass tone to him. He was a thorn in cortex’s side. Sure, he would die in looney toons fashion, but that wasn’t a representation of his character personality. That’s what I think activision has gotten wrong about crash the most and the dumb design they used for crash 4 is just the manifestation of that.

[@MrBoomxl]

Also the very childish humour that It's About Time had really didn't do it for me

[@TroboTicTac]

I'm so happy this is a mod because Crash looks so odd in Its About Time It works so well with the No Mask Costumes mod

[@therunawaykid6523]

I really like his design personally fits to him being inspired by the loony tunes cartoons

[@TroboTicTac]

Idk why I said Its About Time design looks odd, it doesn't, I just dont like the colour scheme

[@Mike14264]

I've always liked the Crash 4 designs, and the N. Sane Trilogy's models look alright too, but these fanmade designs also look great! I don't like them more or less, to me, they're _another_ great design. Kinda surprised with the amount of upset purists around here, it reminds me a bit of the Sonic fandom actually...

[@kyles.8332]

Glad we have a good design in this game finally lol. Never was a fan of Toys For Bob’s take on the franchise and the middling performance of Rumble says to me that a new team needs to take over

[@connorplays6263]

How do I get the mod to work on the Steam version?

[@LunarAbyss]

Go to(Main Game Folder \Lava\Content\Paks and then create a folder with this name: "~mods" Then you can put the mod you want into that folder and it should load. I’m unsure if you have to unzip the folder. But I’m sure you can handle this.

[@KushiLungs]

Contrary, I really like the art direction and design of crash bandicoot 4.

[@StefanoAbruzzi]

Cough cough where's the 90's big eyed render Crash? Or the Crash 1 concept art Crash those are the original 90's Crash I know. But seriously this is amazing!

[@TheNameIsSR]

Late, but there's also a mod based on the concept art of crash 1, if you look up Zembillas Crash Bandicoot Crash 4 mod you should find it.

[@paladinheadquarters7776]

Better than Crash 4’s design.

[@therunawaykid6523]

I personally really like crash 4s design and also his design in the older games - I just love crash!

[@plexyglass429]

Idk what you guys are talking about, this crash looks so uncanny and weird. Doesn't align with the cartoony style at all

[@juhadexcelsior]

Modern Sonic still looks better than Crash 4 Crash. Which is kinda sad

[@themetalgamer9864]

I actually prefer the modern design. The original with pink lips looks like blackface to me. Also, the modern artstyle looks much more like a cartoon, and it's been stated that Crash's design was inspired by Looney Tunes. The N. Sane Trilogy looks way too hyper realistic for a mascot platformer. And Crash's N. Sane model looks like a real life fur suit. Activision made the right call when redesigning Crash in Spyro Reignited style. It looks so much more visually appealing.

[@mediamuncher69]

Now hold in Crash n sane trilogy are style still looked cartoony but! I will admit they should've turned down the realistic ness.
