I was going to buy this game but this post persuaded me not to.
>having x to load and square to save

this has to be the worst remaster since the silent hill hd collection
>crash fags are so casual that they can't relearn how to jump
>hey guys we're remaking your favorites and they'll be just like the original

>press x to jump
>dark souls of platformers
wow
>that
>fucking it up
Yeah, nah, cunt.
Yet somehow I beat it
You can beat silent hill HD. Was a pretty good remaster, don't you agree?
worst part of the remake is not the physics or collision fuckups
Its that they completely ruined Ripper Roos laugh, it took away the thing that made him great and memorable.
They may as well have continued to use the Indian tiger Tiny or pig looking Dingodile
Like Tetris
...
are you seriously gonna cry about some laugh track on some just random boss?
Literally like the monster hunter or dark souls fanbase
>what, you have actually legit critizism? the game was just too hard for you
Reminds me of Sup Forums when you talked shit about eva and they'd just say it's too deep for you.
you do realise that his original laugh was literally stolen from a disney movie right
They literally could not use it

Way to make your post irrelevant
>Go to remake old games
>The code is so fucking old it's completely unusable in any form
>Have to remake the entire thing, from scratch, from the ground up, including the physics.
I'm amazed they were as faithful as they were.
But its not a legit criticism, your only point is that its bad because it requires more skill and precision
>too retarded to even read a single line correctly
My argument is that it's not faithful to the original. Nice assumption you made there. How do you even go from
>Our game engine features a different collision system than the original game
>you just think the game is too hard
It makes literally no fucking sense.
Such is life
Yes. Because there is much, much worse problems with potential game remakes than shit like the collision boxes being slightly off and completely changing something that made a character memorable is one of them.
Except it is faithful to the original, cunt.
If you want something that isn't faithful hit up that shitty Abe's Odyssey remake.
You do realize in the original game you could be floating in mid air because the hitbox could be just barely touching the platform right? Its a direct improvement and you are mad because it makes the game harder
how is Ripper Roo memorable? Was crash the only game you ever own as a child?
They fixed the game because the PlayStation launching without thumb sticks gimped literally 99.99% of the library, Crash included.
It was nevet a conscious design decision to have jumping be so imprecise, just like all the tank controls and and shitty cameras they were forced to compromise that plagues the PlayStation library.
>Our game engine features a different collision system than the original game
>Our game engine features a different collision system than the original game
>Our game engine features a different collision system than the original game
The developers themself said it's not. But apparently your god complex overwrites an official fucking statement of the developers.
Nowhere in there does it say they fucked it up.
Oh no, you have to jump slightly closer to the edge than before. What a tragedy.
>if you change one single thing at all it's not faithful
I guess it wasn't faithful from the start since the visuals changed. Neck yourself, autist.
his laugh was memorable and they changed it
like I said they might as well have made Tiny into a Bengal tiger again and Dingodile into a pig looking thing
>certain jumps require more precision than the originals
shit dude, I was just playing the original earlier today and have no idea how the fuck I found that game "fun" as a kid. Thank fuck for emulators and save states.
>if it's unfaithful it's not faithful
The absolute state of Sup Forums right now.
Not him, but the visuals are literally not faithful to the original in much of the game.I don't get the complaining about the jumps, and collision being slightly different though.Its still basically the same.
Oh yeah well why didn't they sue New Line Productions for Elf?
>being faithful only has two states it can be in
The absolute state of (You) right now.
>harder equals fucked up
Is a faithful remake just litterally the same game re released?
>change a bunch of shit in a supposedly remake equals fucked up
Yes. It's no longer a remake if they change it.
Glad they admitted their mistakes, but I'm still not planning it. It looks like shit.
Did you miss the part where they stated beforehand they were completely remaking the game and not just re releasing an hd remaster? Theres no way you aren't autistic
A remake requires changing something. If it doesn't then it's just a remastered port. Go download the originals off of PSN or emulate them instead of sperging out, autist.
>had to change the physics
>didn't alter the levels to accommodate this
Fucking amateurs.
Guess that makes it a reboot then.
this thread is a joke right? the game plays fine, take 2 seconds to adjust to the newer jump for fucksake
They didn't need to. With the way it works you get far more time to jump before falling. All it changed was that you jump closer to the edge. You can also keep momentum by turning in the air, which wasn't possible before. People that have trouble with High Road are seriously too stupid to cheese the physics.
they changed the music too
It's not a remaster at all though.
Nah user if you change the physics in a game then you've got to alter the elements that are affected as well. It's real simple stuff that even an indie developer should know, let alone people on Sony's personal payroll.
I hope you know older games always had dumb buttons to save so you won't accidentally press them due to muscle memory and carelessness and overwrite your shit. A warning prompt isn't enough because muscle memory is part of telling the prompt to fuck off.
But can Sup Forums explain why ___________I had fun?_______________
All the levels down to the smallest details are the same so no it isnt a reboot its a remake of the same game
It literally can only be a 'remake' if something changed. Otherwise it's a remaster.
Like I said, they don't need to be.
They clearly did by the sheer amount of complaints the game has received since launch. Even on Sup Forums Crash went from beloved hype 10/10 to a joke and insulted. I got it day one, played the fuck out of it but you're just a blind fanboy if you can't acknowledge that they fucked up in areas that they had no right to fuck up in.
>Even on Sup Forums Crash went from beloved hype 10/10 to a joke and insulted
What fucking Crash threads have you been in?
>but you're just a blind fanboy if you can't acknowledge that they fucked up in areas that they had no right to fuck up in
Or I'm just not a huge retard and I quickly adapted to the changes, which made my experience about as painful as playing the original High Road, give or take.
I honestly hadn't noticed since I haven't played the old games for like 20 years.
git fucking gud faggot
>.I don't get the complaining about the jumps, and collision being slightly different though.Its still basically the same.
Not really, especially regarding Crash 1, because the original was designed with pretty lenient collision to jumping on platforming
That was because some levels have the camera positioned in the worse place possible to fuck with depth perception.
The new game is inadvertently harder by changing the collision, now making it unsafe to land on edges of platforms/enemies/boxes, etc.
Which the game was never designed for.
Yup. Blind fanboy.
No where in there did they say they fucked up.
>by changing the collision, now making it unsafe to land on edges of platforms/enemies/boxes
While also making it safer to jump further from the edge.
Not an argument.
I WAS going to get a PS4 for this. I knew they'd fuck it up
>developer doesn't flat out say that they fucked up
Neither did the mass effect andromeda guys. Does that mean they didn't fuck up?
>Have to remake the entire thing, from scratch, from the ground up, including the physics.
You mean like any other game ever?
Even within the crash games themeselves (Specifically the jump from 1 to 2) they've scrapped physics & controls completely.
The problem here is that devs had to remake 3 games that had 3 seperate jump physics and collision detection, and ultimately said fuck it, and just used Crash 3's design on Crash 1 & 2
I gave you the argument and you proceeded to ignore issues the devs themselves have admitted to in a repeat of "I did it so there's nothing wrong" because god forbid you say anything bad about Crash.
So I'll repeat: fanboy.
>They fixed the game because the PlayStation launching without thumb sticks gimped literally 99.99% of the library, Crash included.
Playing Crash 1 with thumb sticks is a good way to make the game alot more difficult,
Jumping physics are fine but the collision detection is definitely a bit fucked. In terms of gameplay I'd say that's all that needs patching, just the edges of platforms and some enemy hitboxes in 1 like turtles or spitroasts. The vast majority of this remake is fine, though. A little different but not inherently awful, though apparently some bugs also need working out. I was lucky enough to see very, very few in my playthroughs though.
>Our game engine features a different collision system than the original game
Well of course it does. Crash Bandicoot's collision was binary; you were either standing on something or not standing on something. In the remake you have varying degrees of being 'on' something. The bridge levels are the best place to notice this. You can be standing on the ropes in the remake and already be a dead man, because the second you move you'll slip off. Having smoother collision geometry itself can also be cause for inaccuracies. Obviously the ropes in the original weren't made of round collision, but instead of more rigid shapes.
As somebody whose gotten all plats in 1 and 2 so far, everywhere else in the game doesn't really suffer from this minutia, but High Road/Road to Nowhere is all about jumping on the thinnest platforms in the trilogy, and the devs beveling the collision + making Crash able to slip off platforms makes it too obvious that things are too different.
Not an argument.
Come at me with something other than your assmad whining. It changed but it's not harder now than it was then. If you cannot adapt to the changes then the increase in difficulty is on (You). Now fuck off, cunt.
Fuck Crash 3 and it's platinum relics. I skipped the original Warped and I'm glad I did.
Is it because It's Sony exclusive by any chance? is that why you're so determined to ignore the issues the devs themselves have admitted to? because It can't be just Crash fanboyism at work.
I wouldn't call it a Sony exclusive. By the marketing language used we can determine it is only a timed exclusive.
>While also making it safer to jump further from the edge.
That fixes some problems but still fucks up other levels.
It's no wonder all these problems seem to be at the High Road bridge levels, where jumping on the turtles is alot less reliable, the momentum and falling speeds now make the long jumps harder, and jumping on the rope is now unreliable.
Not to mention you can't run over closely stacked planks anymore, you'll fall right through, meaning you have to jump over alot more shit.
Basically they fucked up those levels/
no doubt but until confirmed it's an exclusive.
How can it be exclusive when these are basically straight remakes of PS1 games?
Not an argument.
And no. I don't even own the game or a PS4. I went to a bro's house to play it and 100%'d it, not counting relics, in a single day with him. Do you really feel the need to blame a game for your lack of ability? That's pretty sad. Adapt.
It fixes most problems. It makes the ropes harder but you shouldn't be on those to begin with if you're playing the game normally.
>the turtles
>less reliable
Curve in the air for more take-off space before hitting it. This is seriously not an issue. The fucking boulder stages are worse than the High Road since you can't zigzag anymore/as well.
They literally have uncharted 4 footage and a picture of nathan drake in the game.
Not really in the mood for semantics with this.
It's not something they said. The thread is misleading.
Alot of this game seems weirdly rushed, not play-tested, with fairly obvious bugs and issues that were just left to hit release.
It's fine, but anyone can play the originals to compare for themselves, and despite being a remake it doesn't ever feel like the originals control wise.
Because right now it is exclusive. It will probably change down the line but that's not the case as of this moment. It's PS4 only for now.
Whew look at you Mr. Hardcore. Any other achievements you want to brag about on the Taiwanese finger painting forum while you're here? Crash is broken, I've already said I've been playing it non-stop so your argument about skill is right out of the window, only difference is I'm not busy sucking down that Sony dick.
MGS3 also had Ape Escape and they removed that so they could put it on 360.
>This is seriously not an issue.
If its causing unintended challenge because of poor design, it is an issue.
Because this same issue was solved 20 years ago on ps1 hardware.
It's not gamebreaking shit, but it certainly is not in game's favor
But that's exactly what happens when you're trying to save. You just immediately think X and then accidentally load it and risk all of that progress. Thank fucking god for the autosave.
I'm not bragging. This is easily possible by most people. If you think this is bragging then you're likely extremely shit.
>b-but I've played it a lot
I play Tekken a lot but that doesn't mean I'm good at it, chump.
>u-ur just a fanboy ;_;
I'm not the one that owns a PS4. Fucking kek. Stay btfo.
The issue that arose came with its own solution. It still ends up evening out just the same. Get over it, redditor.
...
>actually resorting to stutter greenposting
Oh dear. It's ok user perhaps someone will be impressed with your "achievments" one day, not now, but one day.
>The issue that arose came with its own solution
If the problem's still there, then they haven't solved it faggot
Coming from someone who platted all three games within a week it is broken. Crash 2 especially has been fucked hard. Those Nitros that jump 50 feet in the air when they decide they feel like it completely break the level design and kill you through no fault of your own, not to mention the fucked ice physics.
Crash 3 also fucked up the jetski controls and there are numerous glitches throughout the entire collection like just randomly dying once after getting knocked off the T-Rex in the lava despite being on safe ground. I've also been clipped out of the level in the first game and it is not exclusive to that game from what I've seen. I had already made peace with the worse animations, missing dialogue and fucked soundtrack before getting it but this is shit that actively hampers the experience and shows that they are complete hacks compared to ND. When you can't even be as technically impressive as a PS1 game you fucked up hard.
Obviously you're impressed since you keep bringing them up so much.
Considering it's not a problem, there's no need to solve it. If it didn't come with more ledges to jump from then it would be a problem. Try again never.
*more lenient ledges
I only bring it up because you kept making a point about it in your posts out of a desperate attempt to protect Crash. Pretty sad to be honest.
I'm 3 gems away from 100% the first game, fuck the relics. I'm not that crazy
>getting the red gem
Jesus that was a challenge
I made it a point once and mostly to call you out as being bad rather than defending the game. But you've got your head up your ass so you'll only believe whatever shit's in there.
>>The code is so fucking old it's completely unusable in any form
That's not how code works.
I do admire their dedication at least, and the final product does feel good, though of course different. I remember the Gamestop demo being noticeably worse than the final, so I wouldn't be surprised if a patch rolled by that fixed some of the issues (we'll for sure see a patch when the DLC hits).
In the Gamestop demo, there was no transition from crawling under something to getting up making it very easy to run off the bonus stage in Hang Eight. I'm not expecting a fan-project-tier level of updates to basic physics (especially with the leaderboards for relics being a thing already), but I expect the bridge levels and the turtles to have their collision changed to better represent the original difficulty of the levels.
I didn't think I was that crazy either but then I went for the golds for the trophies. Wasn't the worst thing in the world in retrospect. Fuck the plats though, my autism has its limits.
You people are busy arguing it's a game design issue and now directly impacts the game's enjoyment
I'm sitting here ecstatic I can play Crash 1-3 with less than 99 lives and actually get a few game over screens every now and then.
It finally feels like the lives mechanic is being used.
>that n. brio remix
Made losing to him multiple times bearable
But the incredibly success means it will get a patch, right? At least to skip that opening intro video?
>no death running high road and road to nowhere
nah bruh
There's DLC so a patch for the babies and also a few other things is likely.
