The BETA of Crash Twinsanity

[@Chdonga]

All the cut content in Twinsanity just makes me appreciate what we had even more. For such a painfully unfinished game it's still solid, imo.

[@maximus4765]

The best criticism a game can get is that it's too short.

[@Ratchetti]

We are lucky to even have Twinsanity, it was probably pretty close to being cancelled

[@ThiefOfBaghdad]

20 years of a GOAT game

[@B.T.A_CORBO]

So true

[@vopros_otvetov]

Is it still solid? This is the best part of the Crash bandicoot series, TWOC is naturally in second place. If these games hadn't been released on a tight schedule and with all the content cut out, they would have been diamonds, even though they are😊

[@deoxysandmew2162]

The whole, "it wasnt rushed" may not be as truthful. The implication that it WAS rushed, stems from even the in-game character line; Cortex. Its in the cutscene where they finally are able to warp to 10th Dimension. Quote: "it should have been two new dimensions but we ran out of time". Breaking 4th wall, while giving some insight.

[@ryanpage5690]

As weird as it is I think it's both right and wrong to say rushed. From my understanding they had the deadline extended a few times but there ambitions for the game just far exceeded what was possible for the studio.

[@SammEater]

​@@ryanpage5690Basically they got lost in scope creep the same way that Duke Nukem Forever devs had, only in this case the final game was still good compared to DNF.

[@mrpingasman3079]

I like how you said anthropomorphic lombax like if a lombax was a real animal to begin with

[@hattoripool1533]

I genuinely always wondered what the intended version of Twinsanity would look like. Because Im imagining something akin to Jak and Daxter

[@uhobme2028]

Definitely got that impression playing it

[@BAIGAMING]

Even though many content creators have covered Twinsanity's beta and making of, I still wanted to hear your take on it! Traveller's Tales mostly makes Lego games nowadays, I miss their old games. I wish we could see Twinsanity again on modern consoles with fixes.

[@tobykassulke2385]

Twinsanity is my favorite "rushed" game. With how rough the development was im surprised it turned out so good.

[@SammEater]

I remember 100% completing TwinSanity and looking at the extras with all those concept arts for levels and enemies that never appeared in the game and wondering what happened to those.

[@JRS06]

I like Twinsanity, but I wish we could get a remake that adds back as much cut content as possible. The game has a lot of good ideas and a good sense of humour.

[@pinstripecool34]

Same its such a shame that we probably never will.

[@ThatguycalledJoe]

There's a sentiment that bad games deserve remakes more than good games. Whether or not one would actually call it "bad" is subjective, but that idea can also be extended to incomplete games which is a significantly less subjective way to describe Twinsanity. Frankly, if we ignore external factors like marketability then Twinsanity deserved a remake so much more than the first three games that it's a bit silly.

[@Teh69thSpartan]

Twinsanity was a mess, game is such on a ridiculouly high pedestal. 3/10

[@crashtwinsanity5166]

​@@Teh69thSpartan the games still good its a masterpiece 👏

[@ShockwaveFPSStudios]

@@Teh69thSpartanIt’s a good game that had troubled development.

[@XTHHedgehog]

I love that in the Coco and Crash beta animations, they made the hell SURE to fix Crash's eyes 😂

[@firstnamelastname-oy7es]

Maybe the bug chase section in the school is simpler because the ground is flat and the turns are right angles in that section, so the ai targeting and collision with the world can be simplified or removed.

[@spaghettitaco9316]

something ill say about twinsanity's development is that while im not sure if its true that the game did indeed get a longer development cycle than it was initially intended, i heard somewhere that the cnk and twins release dates were swapped for twins to be more complete, thats the reason why cnk uses so much twins assets

[@keeby4]

It’ll never happen but a reimagining of this with some cut content and some new stuff would be amazing.

[@Casketkrusher_]

Also fun fact Jason Rubin and Andy Gavin wanted to make Crash a open world game, but ofcourse with the PS1 limitations they never could, they achieved this however with Jak & Daxter. And it seems a open world Crash game was something more developers wanted to achieve.

[@Casketkrusher_]

@urbanyouths There's an interview with Andy Gavin, you can find it on KZbin, he also talks about his beginnings as a programmer and past games, I remember him talking about they wanted a Crash game in a open world somehow.

[@Casketkrusher_]

@urbanyouths I wonder what games you can mention aside from Soul Reaver that is full 3D and open world on the PS1, that's the only thing I can think off right now.

[@RippahRooJizah]

Admittedly when I see people imply that they always released finished games "back in the day", this, among others, remind me that those people don't know what they are talking about. That said, I liked this game. Despite one of the puzzles giving me PTSD this is one of my favorite obviously unfinished games out.

[@attackofthecopyrightbots]

yeah like vampire the masquerade and obsidian games

[@kingdomkey2262]

Kotor 2, DMC4, Blood 2, Splinter Cell Double Agent, Xenogears, Halo 2, all unfinished games that still managed to be pretty good.

[@KingDray]

17:20 Minor correction here - the released prototype you're referring to is from 2 weeks before the final build, not 2 months, which is why it's so similar to the final game like you were saying. A build from 2 months earlier might've had Gone a Bit Coco if we were lucky!

[@montanajackson3713]

We need a twinsanity remake, complete with all the cut content added in.

[@Zoojeff]

Crash twinsanity infinite

[@sbplankton_1999]

I hope that's Crash Twinsanity later became a 20th anniversary (2004 - 2024).

[@warrengardner5998]

I just hope an early prototype of Twinsanity can surface someday.

[@Skypatroller_BenCD]

Honestly i would love to see a remake of this game that revamped every cut ideas

[@murx2530]

This series of videos is great, I need one for every Crash game

[@It_was_perfect]

I swear, the Twinsanity community is the longest and most engaged community I have seen in games. It is 2024 and people still post videos and wait for a remake. This is INSANEEEE!!

[@KoobyKarasu]

I still wish for one day for Crash Twinsanity to get like a remake or something, where they finish everything that needed to get finished from the original, maybe perhaps including the Gone a Bit Coco stage, either putting it into the game where it was supposed, or just some sort of bonus postgame content for those who wanted to see it.

[@PeanutButterAndJellyBros]

This game is awesome. Glad there are twinsanity enthusiasts still talking about the game. I wish we could get a crash sandbox game again like twinsanity. It's difficult to find platformer sandbox games these days. Only recent platformer game similar to this style is Psychonauts 2.

[@LordScout]

Learning that Twinsanity's quality is twinsanity's fault and not Vivendi is like learning that nobody ever stole FoodFight and the movie was just always like that

[@AluminumFusion22]

FoodFight wasn't always going to be that ugly; Larry Kasanoff tried to say that someone stole the hard drive containing the 2002 version of FoodFight, when in reality it actually got deleted, which is why they needed a loan from The Firehouse Fund and it was released a decade late. The movie wasn't remade from scratch because it was stolen, but because it no longer exists.

[@LordScout]

@@AluminumFusion22 thats the exact hoax that i was talking about in my comment lmao. The new foodfight documentary shows that it always was shitty

[@crashtefano]

I reckon the bug chase section from Classroom Chaos that made it into the final game was less complicated in terms of programming than the cut Bug Run level that ended up being scrapped for how demanding it was to their CPU. Anyway, I still think Crash Twinsanity is a fun and thoroughly enjoyable experience not because of its wild development process that led to the game having glitches and cut content, but despite all of that mess.

[@SCr_20]

Devs confessed it wasn't Vevendi's problem?? What a twist!!

[@EstelaBandicoott]

I love this type of content related to crash and spyro games, keep it up!

[@alwaysabiggafish3305]

Making this video was worthwhile. I've somehow never been exposed to info on the beta or your channel before, and so you just got a new sub

[@ReviewsEntertainment265]

holy this game was my childhood! unfinished or not, it is goated

[@ThatguycalledJoe]

I feel like for Bug Run, an easier cheat would've been to clump bugs together so that what looks like two, three, or four bugs is actually just one entity. Maybe if you wanna be fancy then make it possible for individual bugs to detach from time to time to time but keep a strict limit on how many "real" bugs can exist at once.

[@sir_jerhyn]

I pray for a remake... Like I will literally cry if I witness a remake trailer!

[@abovebored7488]

Hey you actually used my secret beach clip! Glad it was useful ahaha

[@derpynube3254]

I love the fact videos of twinsanity are still being uploaded and talked about

[@askmiller]

There was another demo disk that came out which included Twinsanity, Jak 3, Spyro, The Incredibles, and a few other games. I had it as a kid and it sounds like it was possibly the same build you had in your demo disk, but I don't remember that punch move. The doors of the iceberg lair were used as a level select. It also had Dr. Cortex narrating a description of each level you could select and some cutscenes with him talking about killing his grandma (who was calling to check in on him) before welcoming the player to the demo. In fact, all of the doors leading to the demo levels are still in the final game (it's where you fight the ants when you enter the iceberg lair).

[@undyne1]

It's 2024 and I'm still amazed by this game due to all the new discoveries of what *could've* been a completed Twinsanity game.

[@eknim]

Despite the janky end product, this game undoubtedly has the best OST of any Crash game. I beat this game about a dozen times as a kid (no money for other games haha). This takes me way back man, great video!

[@Zenlore6499]

I may have conflicting thoughts on this game, but I can absolutely appreciate how creative the devs were!

[@themeekwarrior]

I can't say I agree with the closing statements, but I get where you're coming from. I think the studio should have gotten a little more time to refine what they had, but also needed more leadership from creative directors that knew what they were doing and had a passion for the project. It is so great that we got this game at all, and it does sound like they had a lot better time than Check Six Studios did with Enter the Dragonfly.

[@InDeath]

Honestly. since it was so rushed and had so much content cut, It makes it that much more epic. this is such a solid game. i love it!

[@sonicmaster206]

I know I'm late but congrats on hitting 1k

[@Dr.Frogerston]

Btw the footage stops at 15:51-16:04 I have literally never played a Crash game in my life but cool vid lol

[@MikeJr9284]

Even though Twinsanity was the first Crash game I played as a kid and is my favorite Crash game, I'll admit that it definitely suffered from a rushed development.

[@glideiz111]

I played this game when I was around 12-13 y.o and it was one of my favorites. Sure I remember it was full of bugs and lags (when you could repeat Boiler Room Doom right would always piss me off) but I always had a great time playing it. For me it's the best personality the franchise has ever had, with its nonsense humour. I found out pretty recently that the game was a mess.

[@kevinuzzo5664]

Ctr and twinsanity are the firsts videogames I have a memory of,and since the announcement of the Trilogy remake I thought "what about twinsanity?!" But seeing how they did a remake every game and how crash 4 had a "the wrath of cortex vibe" I think it will come someday

[@CrystalFissure]

Great job with this!

[@Blotling360]

[@arrombaacasa390]

[@StreetSpirit135]

The cut content that you could see from collecting gems made me search for extra islands on the game for a long time 😅, in a way, twinsanity gives me the same sense of misteriousness and wanderlust as shadow of the colossus makes me wish someone did a fan project to reinstate the cut content of twinsanity like they're doing to sotc oh and trust me we'd be entertained by a video covering all cut content, specially character and ambient models

[@DannyBenS94]

I too was one who thought the game was rushed, but wow. This game is basically the Sonic 06 and the Spyro ETD of the Crash series. It's really not a bad game, it just feels very unfinished in a lot of areas and now I know why. Good video.

[@SwearfoGod.]

The Beta version of Crash Twinsanity? You mean Crash Twinsanity?

[@ryzastoutgaming2279]

I wish we got twinsanity remake or remaster, I miss this game so much. I recently got it like 2 years ago and got to experience it and had a lot of fun. I know the platforming side screen crash games are fun but I find the 3d format for a crash game a lot better in my opinion, really enjoyed it and shame we probably will never get another one unless fanmade

[@Basile.BowBow]

Adding more things without focusing on what you already have is something I can relate to as art student lol

[@brofistbro]

(4:24) That's.....that is exactly what happens in Ratchet and Clank 1 for PS2. That was Chairman Drek's plan for money. I always loved how i seen crash and ratchet feel like dead ringers. Dont know why....

[@billysmith4867]

I remember a while back a bunch of fans made a Google Doc of what they imagine Crash Twinsanity would be like with the cut content. I tried finding it again, but I don't know where to look.

[@gtoyadhatagyab8013]

[@B.T.A_CORBO]

[@Armm8991]

I'm so thankful that we got twinsanity simply becasue of its amazing soundtrack that i still listen to from time to time. The game is fun too but to me that's just a bonus lol

[@JarJarBinks4ever]

Twinsanity should get a 'patched' release based on the original code and assets while including cut content. Crash Twinsanity director's cut.

[@thedogbeard8219]

Twinsanity was the first game i ever played, and was my gateway into crash. After playing every crash game, Twinsanity still remains my favourite, is it nostalgia? Probably, but i think this game has irrefutable charm and is by far the funniest game of them all. But its still a great game, shame it was never fully realised, and is why I so so wish there was a remaster/ remake for this game with more seasoned developers to bring this game to what it could have been, but that'd never happen because not enough people would care.

[@cptwennart1406]

NEW TWINSANITY CONTENT IS AMAZINGGG! THANK YOU!!

[@Speems]

I'll be honest, a whole Twinsanity remake that restores the scrapped stuffs while making sure everything makes sense without any holes would be easy money for Activision (but then again, it sadly isn't easy COD money)

[@crashetsky]

One thing I find pretty sad is that after Crash Twinsanity, Traveller's Tales made Lego Star Wars which kickstarterd a new era for the company and aside from the Narnia Games and that one Super Monkey Ball game, they have only been making LEGO games since. I feel sad that Traveller's Tales logo has been changed right after their first LEGO game (cause I really like their old logo and their jingle) and Crash Twinsanity feels like a end of an era for the company. I do find some of TTs pre-LEGO games pretty interesting like Haven and I do like their 2 Crash games that they have developed.

[@ShockwaveFPSStudios]

Whatever, I still like most of Traveler’s Tales’ LEGO Games.
