It's funny because I've been playing the N Sane trilogy because it's cheap as shit in almost every sale
Still really enjoy the games. Wish they didn't absolutely fuck it all up.
I wonder if that hero shooter/platformer would have actually done anything or died a lingering death and lost service in about a year after launch instead of being shitcanned before launch.

I would fuck your whore of a mom, doesn't mean I have to like her.

At least he can stay dead before they could do some ridiculous departure from the fundamentals on the scale of Titans again.

Crash 4's creative direction was really, really goddamn weird. Tonally, it's a fucking mess. Everything post-Crash 3 is wiped from the timeline to reassure us that "Good Crash is back" but really, does Crash 4 feel anything like the original trilogy? Crash 4's Tawna feels totally and utterly out of place in the Crash universe (I mean in the tonal, not literal, sense there). Crash 4 tries to go the SatAM route with "I'm from the future where the bad guys win and it's a horrible dictatorship" and holy shit if it doesn't fit Sonic it super doesn't fit Crash. N. Tropy (Crash 4 variant; both) feel utterly out of place compared to the original trilogy's villains.
It's like they saw all the backlash to Titans and Mutant having dogshit-level humor and thought the solution was "No jokes" instead of "Good jokes." We lost Twinsanity for this shit?

Franchise is dead not because C4IAT was bad, but because Activision-Blizzard isn't interested in making low-budget games that bring modest profits. There should be some fucking law that if you abandon an IP for more than 2-3 years, other studios get the right to use that IP for their own game.

Aside from a couple weird invisible walls, warp orbs being utterly fucked for the first 4-5 months and races failing to start until the host leaves (which can be a blessing in disguise as you get a free ez win/challenge done against bots), nothing really that disruptive

I liked Crash 4. I liked what they did with the gameplay, and thought the new characters were fun. The masks were just okay, an obvious addition mechanics-wise, but nothing special. I liked the N. Sane Trilogy. I still own all the PS1 games.

I disliked Tawna's redesign, but it wasn't the end of the world. Silksong came out as I was starting to work on 100%, so I didnt get to the apparent suffering of it -- but I liked the skins and mirror shader levels I did get through. I fucking hate Activision, the EULA they don't even let you see before you must accept, and the rest of the bullshit they push.

Overall it was good, and fuck Activision. My opinion is objectively the correct one to have on this topic.

This is a lie. Even with the most optimized grinding, you're still wasting an absurd amount of time. Furthermore, "Golden Wumpas" are completely RNG so you can play for hours and still not see one.

Also fucked up as you have to wait for Pitstop rotations just to get stuff. It's mobile cancer that wants you to check EVERY DAY.

>>722274921
>I need everything RIGHT NOW
I played during active hours because I was having fun with it. Never had an issue getting literally everything.
No one is defending Activision shoving this kind of shit into the game after launch, but to frame it as if the simple act of playing a videogame for an hour a day is somehow bad and predatory is silly. People were already predisposed to play due to the grand prix already ongoing. You were just late to the party and missed out on prime time.

>>722275681
>No one is defending Activision
You are, anon. You are.

Also worth pointing out that, due to Wumpa coins being connected to always onlineDRM. Furthermore, if Activision decides to kill the servers, it will be impossible to unlock anything in the pitstop.

Now stop defending Activision's bullshit. We're here to mourn the death of Crash Bandicoot due to wokeness.

>>722274921
jesus fuck a whole 39 hours... how could anyone grind for that long unless they... oh I don't know... played the game during the GPs like a non-poorfag??? Besides, half of what's available is gaudy dogshit anyway like the recolored skins from the final Beenox update (ex. pink spacesuit Koala Kong, 'Anime' Robo-Cortex, etc.)
>"Golden Wumpas" are completely RNG
They show up consistently, once every 5 races iirc and can be grinded off Jungle Boogie Ring Rally
>Also fucked up as you have to wait for Pitstop rotations
You get 2 shop rerolls every day so it'll take a couple days max to find a very specific skin/cosmetic you want

That calculation is based on only playing ONE TRACK: Electron Alley which has the highest wumpa payout. Playing any other track: Double the amount of time. That's also only with the Weekend bonus and wumpa time which means only ONE HOUR during the weekend. After that, the time it takes is multiplied by a factor of ten.

Crash Team Racing Wumpa Coin breakdown
Amount of coins for winning a race online: 30-80
Max amount possible with weekend (2x) and wumpa time (5x) bonuses: 800 coins
Time spend in a race (not including loading screens): 5 minutes
Amount of coins for doing ring rally: 25-68 x laps with max of 8
Max amount of coins possible for Ring Rally with weekend bonus: 974
Time spend in a ring rally (eight laps): 8 minutes
Amount of coins needed to unlock everything in pitstop at minimum(bundles vs buying separately): 381975 coins

381975/800 = 477.46875 [478]
478 x 5 minutes = 2390 minutes
Amount of time minimum to unlock by playing online: 39 HOURS and 50 MINUTES of just Electron Alley online while winning first place on weekends with Wumpa time.

381975/974 = 392.1714579055441 [393]
393 x 8 minutes = 3144 minutes
Amount of time minimum to unlock by playing Ring Rally: 52 HOURS and 24 MINUTES of just Electron Alley on weekends

Biggest wumpa coin bundle purchasable: 40,000
Cost of biggest wumpa coin bundle in USD (not including tax): $29.99 [30]
381975/40000 = 9.549375 [10]
Amount of money it costs to buy everything in the pitstop (without tax): $300 USD

It's actually worse than the above as you have to wait for item rotations in the pitstop, load times, and lobby times. This also doesn't include grinding/buying Nitro for Grand Prix items.

You know you're just retarded, right? But hey, keep defending Activision who can do no wrong but totally are responsible for the death of Crash Bandicoot.

Had you played while the GPs were running, none of this would be a problem. Course, literally everything in the Pit Stop is purely cosmetic so none of it actually affects the game. Shouldn't have waited on that PC port, lazy copy+pasting shitskin secondary.

Crash autism is too weak. He's not Jak&Daxter or Sonic. Hell, the Sonic autist made the tools needed to port the Xbox360 versions of the Titan games but nobody is trying.

There's a reason Bubsy is considered on the same level as Crash right now. Best Crash can get is some guy pretending he'd fuck Fake Tawna.

Vicarious Visions and Beenox would've been better to make Crash 4.

>>722283678
From what I've seen, yeah.
VV was in charge of the fairly good GBA games, Nitro Kart, and while you could say the way they put relics into Crash 1 and 2 might have been a step in the wrong direction, N. Sane Trilogy wasn't actively bad.
Beenox it's kind of up in the air.
Nitro Fueled is really good, but at the same time you know, it's like
>This is a Kart Racer
>Their responsibilities basically begin and end with making sure the core gameplay doesn't feel like ass.

Crash isn't really dumb, and his role in Crash 2 isn't a good example because you had to play through the levels anyway to progress. Being quiet doesn't make him stupid, he's clearly aware enough to know what needs to be done and he can operate machinery. People misinterpret wacky as being a retard and I'm sick of it.

>>722283478
Bubsy making a potential comeback is...something. If that new game is halfway good, Bubsy will have one-upped the big dogs. I remember when Crash one-upped Sonic and then Sonic and him on par with each other (Bad games, rushed games, etc.)

You're just making my point, he's stupid, NOT retarded.
Just a little stupid.

>>722284845
That's the problem, being a LITTLE stupid is enough for people to think he's retarded. Flanderization applies to Crash to a T. One fucking misconception and that was his entire character post-ND. The Skylanders cartoon of all things got his character right, or at least did his character justice by not making him a dumbfuck that can't speak.

Beenox patched out a lot of the lap skips so good luck with that. There is a way to farm wumpa coins without actually playing the game but that just proves the point of how terrible the wumpa coin grind is if you have to resort to NOT playing the game.

I'd elaborate but if the Activision shill is listening, I expect them to patch out that exploit.

I understand your point, and there are a couple skips that were never patched, what I'm saying is that if anybody WANTED to grind (instead of just playing the game like any normal person would and getting all the cosmetics in a comparatively short time), they wouldn't be playing the normal game because they did their due diligence and found out which skips you can do to optimize grinding.

In Devil May Cry 5, there is a weapon that uses up your red orbs as ammo. If, in the middle of a battle, you use up all your red orbs, the game STOPS and a menu pops up asking you if you'd like to purchase more Red Orbs with money. It's as terrible as you are imagining.

You picked the ABSOLUTE WORST game to use as an example.

Problem with that: The highest paying stage is Electron Alley. You'd be stuck with that stage if you are being autistic about optimizing.

https://crashbandicoot.fandom.com/wiki/Wumpa_Coin

It's worth pointing out that in Team Sonic Racing and Sonic Racing Crossworlds, all tracks payout the same amount of Donpa Tickets/Credits meaning you get the best payout by playing normally (in TSR's case playing in story mode).

Like I said, there are ways to farm while NOT playing the game but Activision is watching.

Again. There are unpatched skips that let you farm more efficiently. People that intend to grind won't be playing Electron Avenue or Android Alley (whichever it is you intend to name, you mixed 2 tracks together), because they'll know better.

>>722287105
DMC5's a perfect example, because you will literally never run out of red orbs in that game for Faust
The game spams red orbs at you all the time, that you'll be spending the first playthrough buying whatever moves you want, then for the SOS run you'll have everything unlocked so red orbs become irrelevant at that pont.
Then when you reach DMD you'll literally never run out of red orbs because of how much you get so spamming things like the Faust meteor is braindead if you want to cheese the game.
I've never hit 0 red orbs in a single DMC game kek

Even if someone is a shitter at DMC and doesn't play on DMD, they can just use cheat engine if they really want infinite orbs which makes the MTX even more irrelevant.

NF coins are also irrelevant, like I mentioned back during release, the best farm was the auto battle method, nobody was spamming Electron Avenue 24/7 and if they were then they got coins in the most retarded and pain in the ass way
I remember seeing anons spam the auto battle method so much during the /v/ threads and tons of anons complained about there not being anything to get in the shop because of how fast they got everything, then when the next GP comes, anons just buy out the new shop instantly

It never would have launched in any universe, the failure of the party game was so gargantuan it locked the franchise for another decade. It has nothing to do with the quality of the shooter/platformer, it's entirely about how the series just did not have the draw they thought it did.

>>722287689
And you'd still be spending a good hundred plus hours despite the mythical skips due to how low the payout is. You only get one hour of wumpa time and weekend time alone won't make a difference.

no ass, i'll pass

The best way that I can think to describe Crash 4 is that it feels like a fanfiction. Not the kind of fanfiction that makes you laugh your ass off at a ridiculous premise or spelling errors or weird fetishes, but the kind of fanfic you might actually like if you found it as a kid. These kinds of fanfics tend to be written by kids or early teens, but fairly smart ones, you know, by 14-year-old standards, as a means of trying to pull a property that they enjoyed when they were younger up to their current level of maturity. They'll have a title like
>WALL-E: The Second Coming
>SpongeBob: The Truth Comes Out
>Banjo-Kazooie: Our Place in Time
and they'll usually the characters going on some TRULY epic adventure, raising the stakes above what's typical for the series, complete with a new antagonist who feels like they don't belong in the same franchise (usually with a cool new "sidekick" significantly more badass/capable than the established main characters too, if the author has a penchant for Sues).
The most glaring thing you always notice with fanfics like this is that the humor is almost entirely absent, or if it's present, it's a huge downgrade and much less visible. Because being funny isn't where the author's focus is. They're focused on "elevating" or "redeeming" the IP to prove it ISN'T just "kiddie nonsense."
I can't remember a single joke from Crash 4.

>>722290073
The point of that image is that it compares all the writers to each other to show the difference in writing quality for the Crash games and how well the writing of each game fits Crash, based on the other projects the writers worked on
The original filename of that image was crash writers but since it got pointed out that Zembillas isn't a writer so often, a fixed version was made

All of the writers have backgrounds working on good cartoons except for IAT's one

>>722260851
I'm glad the sexual orientation on all 3 of their example characters was 0, meaning they're straight.

>>722290214
Nina is definitely the saddest casualty of the "canon reset" in my opinion. Considering both Dingodile and Cortex team up with Crash against the new Tropies, it wouldn't have been at all hard to justify her being in nuTawna's place, and she has her same cyborg gimmick already too!

>>722289661
>as a CRASH game
I'd argue that Twinsanity is where they steered away from true Crash-style gaming. If anything it was TT's attempt at chasing after what Jak and Ratchet were doing, rather than continuing what Crash already did well.
>crates are no longer important, they simply exist as maybe sometimes part of platforming, sometimes as obstacles, but mostly as containers of wumpa
>the Twinsanity double jump is weak enough that it could've just been the single jump from prior games. There is never any platforming that does anything with the second jump and in fact you LOSE the double jump if you try doing a slide jump. There's also no reason to ever crouch, it's just a remnant from Crash's earlier moveset, and it doesn't expand into a game that has less-focused platforming design.
>the attempt to pursue free 3D roaming didn't amount to anything interesting, most stages wind up being funneled into hallways anyway
>this game is the first that departed from the casual dark undertones that lay the foundation for the Doctor's plot, and replaced Cortex with a bumbling punching bag. It's funny, but it's no longer the same antagonist, and Crash is made stupider as well to exaggerate the contrast.
Now before you jump down my throat, I do still enjoy Twinsanity. I just wish it was structured with a bit more focus. Ditch the 3D roaming and have a linear level progression like Crash 1 did. Bring back the need to interact with crates for the gems. Break up the extremely long levels into 2 or 3 smaller levels so the crate gems aren't agonizing (especially for 1-way levels such as humiliskate). Obviously the unfinished part of the story would be golden to have but I can accept what we have.

>>722291463
even if you go purely by the game's story and presentation, Twinsanity is when they tipped from cartoon slapstick to crude humor. You could argue that had already happened with Crash Nitro Kart, but Zam/Zem were nothing more than filler characters for the roster rather than Cortex farting in a pipe or getting kicked in the balls.

It's been written about on end but it's not that alt-Tawna is why the franchise died. It's that her existence shows a total, fundamental misunderstanding of good design for Crash games that pointing at her shows how badly TFB fucked up in full. That fact she exists as she does is symbolic of how awfully they misunderstood Crash Bandicoot as an IP and game series.
>Crash was never kaizo level bullshit, it was never trial and error bash your head into a wall until you win. It was fair and well-balanced, rewarding patience and thinking before acting and giving the player a chance to backtrack for anything they missed.

>fucked up shading that your drop shadow needs a colored ring around it
All of this is best summarized by a character that looks out of place, is clearly inspired by modern day trends and has an awful silhouette.

This, Old Crash is Warner Bros. comedy, mostly slapstick but with intent. The idea of revenge and karmic retribution. It's funny but with purpose. The newer stuff went to a more modern(at the time) western cartoon style which at that point was more grossout humor and more making the visuals disturbing more than funny. In a way you could call it mean spirited in comparison but it did still have some moments of that old school slapstick vibe since even then they had those moments of karmic retribution.
Crash 4 is just pure modern cartoon writing. The "slapstick" is all directed at Crash and treats him like shit. It's mean spirited plus we got the addition of the EVER SO GENIUS mcu writing. It's a totally different style of writing again.

>>722296931
Alt Tawna existing isn't a bad thing, but what is bad is that they tried to replace the real Tawna, they refused to have her be acknowledged, and they refused to have her have any role in the game. The way that she was written was as if they wanted to erase parts of the series, and they even did so with everything that came after CTR by making it a disjointed continuity.
They had the Tropy's interact, they had no reason to try to overwrite an established character from the original game other than being up their own asses.
That isn't even touching upon how they completely recharacterized Dingodile to be someone else entirely.

>>722287618
>they can't even do his idle animations

>>722261482

>>722266185
The Tawna redesign (because let's be real they were never going to bring back the original character outside of "legacy" cosmetics) is more a clear symptom of Activision dropping all pretenses and just parading the corpse of the IP around for clout. Tawna could have stayed out of the franchise after CTR:NF and NST, but they wanted to eat their cake and have it too by bringing back Crash's own Jessica Rabbit who was already deemed irrelevant as a whole. But they reinvented her as a quippy action girl with horrid fashion sense even by butch lesbian standards. And she was an "alternate universe" version, one that they clearly wanted to make a central character to replace the original Tawna.
Zero awareness of what people liked about the franchise on a character design level bleeds into having zero awareness of what people liked about the franchise on every other level. Playing all too strongly into the "Dark Souls of platformers" meme at the expense of good level design, a gameplay loop with extremely bloated repetition, etc.
To turn this back around to Nikke since you posted Anis, would you trust an installment of Nikke by zero of the original creators or artists at Shift Up, there were male Nikkes at all, and all the old designs were dumpstered for being too erotic while fellating themselves for their new, "better" designs where they're all sexless fridge girls? No, you probably wouldn't. Because the IP holders wouldn't know a damn thing about what people liked about it, and they'd fuck up everything else in the process.

Recently completed Crash 4 after going through the ps1 originals and woc. I can’t help but say as just playing through it normally, it’s probably the best so far. Though for completion? Hell no. Though I do want to talk the story. Like it was super mixed for me because of shit like its tone.

You have the humor and then there’s shit like Tawna and her whole deal. Like I didn’t understand people’s problem with her until I saw out of place she is in the story. Like they set up the sad bit and then it appears again out of nowhere and then it fucking ends. Bruh how can this be called undercooked when they didn’t even start it. Literally what were they thinking?! And if to make her not a generic damsel they made her a generic tough girl. Where’s the self awareness? Also to say they totally ruined Coco too with never having flaws, actually disappointed me

Controversial to say but I wouldn’t mind if they tried something a bit more serious with crash (I know no one goes to crash for the story but listen), but they NEED actual good writers to still make it feel like crash if that makes sense.

>>722292149
Well said. Remember what I said about one misconception about something resulting in a complete misunderstanding? You nailed it perfectly. You can't even say that Cold Hard Crash was THAT level that everyone wanted to replicate, anyone with a brain would know that Cold Hard Crash is a level you DON'T try to replicate. Someone likely played the N-Sane trilogy, got good at it and decided that the IAT needed to be harder because heaven forbid you get better at a game when you playtest it. Not considering the audience who have yet to see your game in action.

And never mind the visual element of Crash, the original trilogy was some of the best-looking games on the market at the time, and ND went above and beyond to make their games look good from a visual and especially a technical standpoint.

This is why the post ND games fell short if not dropped the ball hard, they never had to take into account the hardware, it was just jokes and dumb skits and 'fun' instead of learning proper game design.

I wonder how people are going to react if we see a new crash game and all this doom and gloom over the supposed death of the franchise was all for naught

>>722302271
I think the funniest outcome would be vicarious visions being at the helm and continuing the series from where mind over mutant left off, completely ignoring IAT.
But we all know fate won't give us this outcome. I'll happily accept crash being laid to rest.

There hasnt been a new game in 5 years. Rumble is repackaged DLC for 4 so I’m not counting that. Even in the 2000s they had a new game every other year until Activision killed them the first time and Radical ruined the series. Theres also the simple fact Crash is so low on the list of things for Microsoft and Activision as a whole.

>>722287630
Well? Where do you go? Answer the question.

>>722303191
Universal owned the IP, who got merged with Vivendi. Vivendi was struggling and was bought out by Activision-Blizzard long after the crash series was considered dead. The only reason we got any revival of Crash and Spyro was because activision finally took a look at what they bought.

>>722256414
She’s incredibly cute, I just don’t like the browns in her outfit. I don’t like Coco’s weird front bang she’s always had too, but I still love both of them. I also still laugh at the 2 butthurt autistic mental cases that can’t stand 4 retconning the shovelware games too, incredibly fucking based.

>>722261482
Somehow that artstyle makes her look way better.

gee whiz, m-maybe they shouldn't have focus so much on trying to pander to furfags or someone should've told them furfags would only use your IP for self profit

this is what people meant when they talk about how the strong female trope is often misinterpreted. look at her, she is still the same tawna we know, she keeps her beauty including her peculiar silly snout but she looks someone who can handle on her own without losing that beauty without shying away her sex appeal

If Tawna were actually sexy I would've bought 4.

>>722260276

I don't like explaining this to "normal" people because they're of the kind who would think it'd be fine if the game was called coco bandicoot, ntropy was a woman, and crash didn't exist, and no they wouldn't have bought the game because they didn't buy this one

the only solace I have is believing the enshittification that demands this character is the same one that caused her segments to be shit (because the game was only designed to be fun playing as crash and all the other characters suck)

>>722261482
>smiling at you

>>722297337
>Alt Tawna existing isn't a bad thing, but what is bad is that they tried to replace the real Tawna, they refused to have her be acknowledged, and they refused to have her have any role in the game. The way that she was written was as if they wanted to erase parts of the series
I don't really disagree with the sentiment but again nobody en masse is not buying the game because of this.
It's Tawna. She's not that important.
Is Tawna even in Crash 2 and 3 at all?
Does she have any lines in Crash 1?

>>722304816
I just pirated it and modded in hot Tawna.

>>722262254
>Everything post-Crash 3 is wiped from the timeline to reassure us that "Good Crash is back"
... and yet it references Crunch and the Elementals. I can't remember if it references Twinsanity onward. Yeah it's weird when a dev says "We're rebooting but hey 'member this? We 'member it too! Please don't be upset! EVERY thing's canon!"
>I mean in the tonal, not literal, sense
"Look here's nuTawna! We've remade her for the modern audience! B- but um er she's from an alt universe and we'll have Coco say this IMMEDIATELY to tell you to not worry, the old version is still around and we aren't replacing her! If anyone says we are tell them we're not!"
Yeah, again, weird, you don't normally see a woke creative actually recognise a bad decision, let alone try to handle it in a schizophrenic way... like what do they actually believe in as a creative direction?
Are we upsetting old fans and making our mark or are we doing nostalgic fanservice? What the fuck is the cringe WOAH meme doing in this? Did it actually test well with normies? Was that actually supposed to be for bitter terminally online fans?

There's one concept art that had her dressed like a Crocodile Dundee type character and I don't know why they didn't go with that.

>>722305602
Here are the “obscure” or outright referenced things in 4 from the later games. Crunch is on a screen in one of the flashback tapes. The Evil Twins are on a display screen in the space levels. Oxide is also a character in the game despite never being seen until CTR. In the leaked concept for Crash 5 they would include the Academy of Evil, Nina all from Twinsanity.

Genuinely you could get what you want as you play and not give a shit.
>wtf you're defending this shit??
Oh actually I agree and think it's worse than just a money sink - it's asking you to be addicted to create an always active "community", which is the biggest point of it, to make someone say to a whale "Hop on CTR!" and the whale to dump their wallet because the internet and their friends are all playing and have cool outfits the whale *doesn't* have.

I have genuinely heard rich tossers say "My time is worth more than the grind, I'll just pay to skip" and that makes me really sad. If I was impolite I would ask "Why are you playing this game?" but I'm not so I ask "Why am I playing this game?"
It's transactional and sad, and people who say "I hate capitalism!" dive in head first.

>I think most people are just waiting around for the CTR decomp to actually be finished, when that releases it'll get a lot of attention without a doubt
There's a handful of people working on custom stuff and a few actively researching.
Sadly, I believe that once things reach competion; there'll be the initial announcement, people will check it out for a day to a week and then discussion will return to zero.
You'll see continued threads on /v/ for game nights of TK2 / OnlineCTR (Gasmoxian build has taken precedence now due to expanded game modes) but otherwise development right now largely hinges on making an entertaining CTR streamer happy.

I think 2's extended ending mentions her running off with Pinstripe to Disney World or something.

She gets restrained by scientis- sorry, she beats up the diverse skinned scientists as per TFB's remake and didn't need Crash to save herself or something.

If it's not important, you'd not support her being changed, because it's nOt ImPoRtAnT

1. TFB didnt do the n sane trilogy
2. in that version of Crash 1, Tawna socks one scientist but still gets captured.

That and the scientists in N.Sane are still white pasty nerds, no niggercoded ones either.
I have no idea what anon is on about.

I agree that change is silly but you don't need to make up shit.

>>722307809
>no niggercoded ones either
Crash 4 has nigger scientists, I simply assumed this wasn't invented at this point because the revisionism started with the N Sane Trilogy because that was more important to the developer than matching the feel of the original games including the early hitbox issues and obscure level quirks that are mostly documented on the wikis but you would recognise it existing when pointed out

It's almost certainly just the same one or two autists every time who makes regular threads.
Crash 4 is a good modern platformer ruined by far too much padding and a far too tedious for most sane people to bother with 100% completion criteria. The game would have been better received with like half the content. This is the general wider consensus.

Why Crash has "failed" as a series is because they're owned by Activision. They only care about Call of Duty because they can stack it with microtransactions that a bunch of sheep who never buy any other games will continue to buy despite the games getting worse and worse. Crash, Spyro, and Tony Hawks only got remake revivals as a means to hold on to the IPs, and Crash 4 only got made because Crash exceeded expectations. Beenox and Vicarious Visions have already been absorbed into the Call of Duty machine, and Toys For Bob went independent to save their team from the same fate. There is no Crash team available now because Activision has stripped the companies down to a bunch of artists to make cosmetic skins of Nicki Minaj fighting Skeletor or whatever.

>>722319187
>Why Crash has "failed" as a series is because they're owned by Activision.
LOL no. Crash (and Spyro) was a failure when he was owned by Universal and Vivendi. The OG trilogy was a fluke at best.

Functionally, it is. The other characters sections are a bit too slow and the like two riding sections are as bullshit as they've always been, but the Crash & Coco levels that make up the majority of the game work well. Even the N. Sane Trilogy had levels where you feel you die not because you yourself fucked up but because your capsule collision box just decides you don't make a jump. Crash 4 has none of that, any failure on platforms is entirely you're own doing. You're constantly moving, the pace is good, and there's good combo sections.
The problem is entirely on the practically collectathon elements which drag you away from the tight platforming to do bullshit to get the crates.

>>722277607
>had you just supported Acti's microtransaction fomo bullshit and played the game everyday like it's a job...

His lines in Warped also point to him being somewhat of a pyromaniac, so taking it away and handing him the Suck Cannon from R&C is just furthering him from what he was even more.
