>IT'S MY IP TO SIT ON AND DO NOTHING WITH
Crash just got a new game in 2020. Was it good? No but he got one.Rayman had Rayman Legends in 2013 so I suppose he's due for one although never cared for him or his gamesBanjo had Nuts & Bolts in 2008... by far the longest time with nothing. Although he WAS added to Smash Bros Ultimate so that was.... somethingStupid comic didn't even feature Ty from ty the Tasmanian tiger... Gex? Bubsy (who actually is getting a new game)?
>>737916819I misread "sit" as "shit"
>>737917507I mean, they remembered Rayman enough to make a cartoon series that had him eating sushi off a naked cow girl... so that's something I guess.
>>737916819that banjo is pretty eckerbear shaped ngl
>>737917507How would Gex come back in the age of the Internet and the TV being dead?Would he just be a netsurfer jumping across YouTuber ecelebs and Netflix series?
>>737917507Crash 4 is great actually I’m loving itThat said the Trilogy remake is terrible. They fucked up the jump length which totally fucking ruins the game, and the hitboxes are also fucked. You can tell they just took the game and scaled it, and shit did not translate well.4 is so fun I’m replaying each level like ten times trying to 100% it. The story is cute and the costumes for characters are awesome. You unlock a new one every time you 100% a level which is badass. I’m really surprised it doesn’t get more praise, even without the extra shit the level design and gameplay are great as well. Only thing that’s a bit lacking is the music, but I guess they knew that because there are these tape levels that have the old OST in them. Really enjoying it so far.Still need to pick up the Gex remake I love the first Gex
>>737917507>Stupid comic didn't even feature Ty from ty the Tasmanian tiger... Gex? BubsyTy was mediocre like Tak and Vex and they actually tried to make his entire adverts centered around him being better than Crash, Sonic, Mario and Spyro. It failed.
>>737916819Where's my nigga Croc
>>737918146Gex couldn't exist anymore, everything is tied up in miles of copyright red tape, nothing can be whimsical and random like that anymore without massive licensing fees.
>>737916819>Croc got a rerelease>Chex Quest got a rereleaseWhen will it be his time?
>>737916819it is ok for things to end. we do not need one bazillion crash and banjo games
I really want a new Spyro game but I don't want it to be made by Toys for Bob
>>737916819We're really gonna pretend like Crash didn't get every possible opportunity to made into a regular game series.Didn't Crash 4 flop like shit?
>>737918151>4 is so fun I’m replaying each level like ten times trying to 100% itTrust me, you'll fucking hate this game by the end of your 100% journey
>>737916819I don't know why, but that comic reminded me of that Marty comic and I imagined it with Klonoa as Marty and Crash, Banjo and Rayman as the other guys.
crash got a remake recently irrespective of peoples opinion of it. i wouldnt call it forgotten like conker or croc.
>>737917507>Stupid comic didn't even feature Ty from ty the Tasmanian tigerTy got his first two games remastered, and they were really well done.
>>737918383Crash fans are like TWEWY fans who beg for a sequel and then don’t support it once it’s made. Rare was smart to not to listen to 90’s kids begging for a new Banjo and Kazooie.
>>737918151crash 4 is lame and gay like everything toys for bob makes. Nineties kids wouldn't play this shit
>>737918146Yes, but remember that the joke with Gex was that his references were 10-20 years out of date so he needs to reference AVGN or Spoony or something
>>737918463For what
>>737917507Banjo gets new merch like every goddamn month. The IP itself is very much alive.
>>737918295Tweet Wayforward about it.
ENTER
>>737918625It’s a game for kids retardOne dorky level is fine
>>737918151Crash 4 is a game that is ok for just running through it and finishing it (albeit with a couplenl of really frustrating levels and shitty girlboss Tawna. Oh and padded copy pasted levels that have only half of the level that is new)But if you enjoyed 100% other games in the serirs the game turns from ok experience intona nightmare. This game just isn't worth anyone's time and nerves to complete, making it something that completely missed the point of what Crash Bandicoot is even about. Oh anf N verted levels ate nothing but filler with fugly filters
>>737918787I have that loaded up on my modded original xbox, worth playing? I only really played NGB, Jade Empire and a bit of Kotor on it (I had already played on PC I wanted to see how it looked on my CRT)
>>737918146He should do something really meta like a multiverse game now that that gimmick is finally dying. >>737918631How about that show LOST? I can’t wait to see the ending>Did you hear the newest Lana Del Ray album?
Is crash 4 fun to play casually
>>737918787>gets killed by Master Chiefnothin personel kid
>>737918979For the most part yes
>>737918787>Buy Rare because they thought they would get DK>Rare struggles to do anything cool on the Xbox brand for most of their existence because they don't fit with it
>>737918979Much better than TrilogyPlay the original three if you’re going to try them, but 4 is a decent place to start honestly
>>737918787Isn’t Blinx free real estate now?
>>737918631>>737918146Square Enix owns Gex, they could just have him fuck around in Squeenix IP like a bootleg Kingdom Hearts.
>>737919436
>>737918805kids like cool things too, making everything cringe is a deliberate choice that didn't need to be madeThere's a reason crash 4 flopped
>>737918881no
>>737918608>Crash fans are like TWEWY fans who beg for a sequel and then don’t support it once it’s madeThat’s because they still have standards. Yes they want a sequel, but they also want it to be good, and if it fails at that then they won’t buy it on the basis of it being shitThis is largely the biggest reason for why modern remakes/sequels are all so dogshit; companies see the outcry as a guaranteed vector for money and thus believe they can skimp out on putting in effort because “they’ll buy it anyway.” Who cares about ensuring it’s faithful to the original, so long as it has the label people will buy it since it’s what they want. This then puts the fans in a lose-lose situation>support the shitty remake/sequel; more gets made, but they’re shit since the fans signed off on the negative aspects (Super Monkey Ball)>don’t support the shitty remake/sequel; tells the companies that no one actually likes them anymore and they kill it for good (Klonoa)
>>737918595Yeah I played both remasters great games
>>737918608>Crash fans are like TWEWY fans who beg for a sequel and then don’t support it once it’s made.Pretty much every TWEWY fan bought NEO, though. The problem was that TWEWY underpreformed in every region to begin with and Square Enix completely fucked up with the marketing, which meant it attracted no new audience beyond the people who had played the original and the people those existing fanatics shilled it to.
Just a daily reminder that the Playstation mascot is Gran Turismo.
>>737916819If all the original people who made those games are gone, what's the point?
>>737918881it's a fun little gameyou should really get blood wake and phantom crash tooi wish i could remember where i got that xbox emulator and roms from since i lost them to hard drive failure
>>737916819Banjo was never a fuckin mascot.He got 2 games on N64 and then went fucking xbox.
>>737916819SCRIMBLO BIMBLO?! HOLY HECK NOSTALGIA BOMB, ONLY 90S KIDS REMEMBER
>>737916819banjo was never good
Get in line, Crash Faggitcoot
>>737920959Why does it need to come back? The series had a perfect ending with 3 and no game was ever made after that which is a good thing.
>>737918151Man crash 4 is the definition of perfectly ok. I'm glad it exists but it had a lot of unfun moments.
>>737918984>Release was pushed forward and it's unfinished and permanently stuck in the idiot baby difficulty that constantly bombards you with fucking instructions for idiot baby retards>Artoon asks for the rest of the rights to the IP back from microsoft who has no interest with doing anything with it>Microsoft was too lazy to respond>Artoon dissolves>Rights are stuck in purgatory until ~2104>>737918979Are we talking the ACTUAL Crash 4, or the eighth game?
>>737918608>you didn't like this bad piece of media well....heh guess what...ready ya ready wait for it...ITS YOUR FAULT IT DIED>heh I'm so /riamverysmart
>>737919246It's in a uniquely fucked state where nobody with the rights associated with it can do anything with it, but CAN sue anyone for doing anything with it.
>>737920756The thread is about dead platformer IPs, not vidya mascots.
>>737918787I remember Blast Cats for the Steam Demo-Vision
>>737918608both of these comparisons are fucking horribleevery crash game after CTR sucks dick including the remakes, crash 4, and the MOBATWEWY got the terrible remake followed by NEO TWEWY, which was widely agreed to be a great followup but sold like shit because square is one of the most retarded companies on earth and spent more time marketing the TWEWY 1 anime than the new game they were selling
>>737918151the remake trilogy's problem is that crash has a pill shaped hitbox instead of cylindrical, which means the rounded corners can cause him to slip off. someone made a mod that fixes this and it plays just fine
>>737922784Doesn't fix the remakes looking like absolute shit, though, it just brings them up to a baseline level of mechanical competency.
>>737922835I remember this entire board defending the Crash demakes because they got swept up in the emotions of Crash making this comeback. You couldn't speak any modicum of criticism without someone getting chupacabra levels of demented against it.
>>737919137>Buy Rare because they thought they would get DKI can't believe retards still believe this. It came from a website with p4rgaming which is basically the onion for video games. You literally fell for an onion article.l
>>737917507Rayman was in some shitty NFT game a couple years ago that literally no one ever played.
>>737918984>>737918787Should been GameCube exclusive.
No one bought Crash 4 because Crash was always terrible and only had success because Playstation owners were desperate for a 3D platformer to hold up against Mario 64 in 1996. It was also a rush job for that very reason, thus why its gameplay is so limited, they had no idea how to make the Playstation hardware (which had not originally been designed to specialize in 3D like the N64 had) run something like Mario64. The original Spyro trilogy, which released years later, has on the other hand aged well and is still fun to play, because by that time devs had a shit ton more experience figuring out how to make the PS1 to do 3D, and more design experience to "hide" how the levels were all hallways.
>>737923568>Crash was always terribleI'm disregarding the entire rest of your post because you are a retard.Crash is just DKC with an extra axis, which is precisely why it's good.
>>737923602DKC also sucked. Miyamoto was right about it.
>>737919704they didn't fuck up. people just don't want TWEWY
>>737916819>Rare has no interest in returning to their old IP>Ubisoft Montpellier's been busy on vaporware>/v/ hated Crash 4 and doesn't want Toys for Bob on the series againWHOTHEFUCKWOULDMAKEANEWGAME
>>737918146gex cant exist because "le epic pop culture quip man" is everywhere now
>>737923656NEO TWEWY was obviously never going to be a big hitter but it absolutely should have sold more than it did, and a big part of why it didn't is because Squeenix absolutely fumbled the marketing at every angle.>no TV ads besides one that was stapled to an ad for the anime (which was also 2x as long as the part of the ad for NEO)>no online ads besides twitter posting>didn't feature the game at the E3 literally one month prior to release>most expensive part of the promotion was an IRL walkaround event in shibuya that lasted exactly three days>PC release was months later and EGS-exclusive>when it finally came to steam, it released the same week as the steam launch of PERSONA FUCKING FIVE, and squeenix didn't even bother making any points shop items beyond the required non-animated trading cards and emotes
>>737920959stay stuck in the past
>>737917507Are you the Anon who keeps shilling that n64 fighting game in every thread?
>>737919485Gex
>>737918151crash 4 with the nhanced mod is really fun, i just think most levels should've been split in half. the whole collect boxes gameplay doesn't work when levels are that long, not helped by how much they love hiding boxes in really assholish places
>>737922024I'm addressing OPs image. The one with Banjo and this sign in it.
>>737927023Banjo's the mascot of his own series, dumbass.
>>737916819They did do something with the Crash IP tho.
>>737916819Copyright for consumer-targeted goods should last for 5 years with an extension to 14 years only if you make preparations to have the source code published after that extension has expired or the product becomes abandonware that is no longer sold or supported.
>>737916819in the rayman case, it's better they do nothing because I don't trust UbiSoft to do anythingt good with it
>>737917507Should have Blinx the Time Cat
>>737916819My hope it's to see Crash in the new Smash or Ultimate's Season 3. I buy a Switch 2 if this happens.
>>737916819The real irony here is that the artist could only include supposedly "forgotten" characters that everyone remembers. Because he couldn't think of the ones he forgot.
>>737930745Crash had his chance when the remasters came out + 4 its too late now
>Please make endless games about this franchise foreverAnd then you'll go complain about COD getting endless sequels
ok but why is banjo so hot in this picture
>>737917507>Crash just got a new game in 2020.2020 was 6 years ago.
>>737918146the honest conversation is that a modern Gex would be something like High on Life 2 or Borderlands 4, remember that Gex isnt really about platforming but it's a comedy game.>>737929808i think this design is unfairly maligned, it's not really Tawna it's AU Tawna.
>>737932340>i think this design is unfairly maligned, it's not really Tawna it's AU Tawna.What makes you say that?
>>737928117Too bad the sign says "platform" dumbass.
>>737918625>they made a level inspired on the minionsgay and lame
>>737923645>Miyamoto was right about it.that he liked and respected it? or are you talking about that proven false rumor that he hated it because of the graphics
>>737925915>the whole collect boxes gameplay doesn't work when levels are that longone of the dingodile levels had more boxes in it alone than total boxes in any of the three original games
>>737933294what's the confusion? it's a huge plot point that the playable crash and coco are from a different universe than the nu-tawna you play as. she decided to become an adventurer because her crash and coco died. is it a way for them to justify redesigning her? probably. but it's not like it wasn't explained.
>>737918146He would get with the times>more than two genders? More tongue more fun.
What is the best way to play Rayman 2? Dreamcast emulated or the PC port? I played it on my brothers N64 when I was a kid but apparently it is a bad version
