Crash rumors are funny.
>>739888861Mascot gaming is dead. Thankfully. Shit for children and halfwits.
2>=1>3Crash 1 haters are braindead. It's the perfect distillation of its genre; brief, amazing controls, perfect difficulty curve, amazing atmosphere. Easy to learn, tough to master, essentially flawless. Crash 2 expands upon that, becoming arguably the greatest platformer of all time with incredible controls and brilliant multi-layered level design.Crash 3 is trash with too many gimmicks and piss easy kiddo-focused difficulty, though some features (such as the wicked fast tiger riding levels) are great fun. Now you too can have correct opinions
>>739890215>Shit for children and halfwits.Meanwhile modern adult gamers can't beat Crash 1 because "some of those jumps are too hard" and had to nerf the difficulty in disgusting remakes
>>739888861i like 2 and 3 but 1 had tons of input lag built into the game for some reason and made precision platforming more frustrating than fun.
>>739891204The remake of 1 has input lag, which is especially bad on PS4 and switch. Instead of playing possibly the worst remake of all time, maybe you should just play the actual PS1 game
2 4 1 3
>>739891738no, the original on ps1. I never played the remake before. It runs at 30 fps and has tons of input lag, even worse than other 30fps platformers like Mario 64. So I skipped 1 and played 2, pretty much fixed most things I was getting annoyed with. I still think Spyro and Ratchet and Clank mogs anything Naughty Dog has ever made however.
>>739890110They feel sad at this point. Sadder than when the franchise was dead in the 2010's because modern gaming is so much more horrific than it was then. Everyone keeps theorizing Spyro 4 or Crash Netflix based on conjecture or schizophrenic delusion and they just need to accept that Activision/Microsoft DOES NOT care about them one bit.
>>7398888612 is the best overall3 has too many Gimmick leves but is great when it actually has proper ones.1 has SOUL, far more then the others with shit like the map screen and seeing the other islands in the background and actually feels like an journey.Hot Take: The Warp Room may be iconic, but it was a fucking mistake.
>>739892242To be fair, nobody cares about the Crash IP as a whole. Most only care about the Classic games and nothing else.
>>739892453I care because theres good things you can take from the bad games and its nice to envision what might have happened if they weren't mismanaged by soulless corporate drones or incompetent devs.
>>739892291>Hot Take: The Warp Room may be iconic, but it was a fucking mistake.Sure let's have an island that has ice level leading to a sewer level and a spaceship level.
>>739892713Theres a map of Crash 2. All the snow levels and those 2 bee themed, mountain levels take place on the second island. All the sewer levels take place in the ruined third island that Cortex's main base of operations was. The ruins levels iirc take place on the third island.
>>739892713>>739892809Wrath and IAT are both examples of how to fail at making a Classic Crash game. One had a Warp room, one had a map, neither of those details were relevant.
>>739892942Thats true but it just falls back to the underlying problem of people being handed the reigns of Crash and completely misunderstanding what makes it work. WOC is just a Warped clone and IAT is trying to be a superficial nostalgia callback with ugly Minions/Illumination tier graphics.
He crashed
>>739888861why are his eyes transparent
>>739892242Coco's cocos
>>739892453Honestly the canon never made sense after ND. Bash doesn't fit anywhere with the endings, N-Tranced is a direct sequel to XS/THA but Crunch shows up so somehow WoC happened inbetween, but Cortex and Uka Uka are frozen from 3 years between that and Twinsanity. CNK also doesn't fit unless it takes place after Twinsanity since Crunch and Cortex are there too.
>>739893557Nah the thing that fucks the timeline is the 3 years inbetween WOC and Twinsanity.
>>739892809Source?>>739892942>>739893048Crash 4 is great, you don't have to pretend otherwise. The "story" is MCU slop and the dyke character sucks but you can skip all of it and focus on the gameplay which is excellent.
He fun.
>>739888861love the original 4 gamesTwinsanity and Bash are funalso played Crash of the Titans with my sister on the PS2, so I have fond memories of itand the GBA games are neat platformers with minigames slapped ondidn't play Crash 4
>>739893557Yeah, that's why the term "eras" makes more sense for Crash Bandicoot. The Naughty Dog era was different from the Universal/Third-Party era.
>>739888964Not really, but its better than 4s atleast
>>739893728>Crash 4 is greatLMAO no. It's so terrible, modders had to fix it.
>>739892554This is why I was initially against nitro fueled using post ND characters but after seeing they realize their designs I changed my mind.
>>739888861The only good 3D platformerMario is for toddlers
>>739890661I wouldn't go as far as saying 3 is trash but the order is correct.
desu i genuinely liked the remake and enjoyed what little i played of 4. i actually was enjoying 4 but i got filtered by some stupid level where i kept making it ridiculously far and kept dying so i quit. the levels were just so long. i do think i could've beaten it though i just never got around to it.
>>739894964>Nintendo out of nowherethey have good platformers, see the DKC games for more details
>>739895558>DKC2D
>>739895665fuck me up alreadygod damn I'm a fucking idiot
>>739889072baited nobody award
>>739894419>LMAO no. It's so terrible, modders had to fix it.Filtered. Back to braindead "platformers" like Mario you go.
>>739896419>ComicfagNice try dodongo
>>739896419I don't know why anyone is still trying to force this rivalry. Especially after belonging to an IP with a game as abysmal as Sonic 06.
>>739893542no thoughtshead empty
>>739897256It's probably the nintendorks.Nobody who actually likes platformers throws a perpetual temper tantrum about platformers besides the bubsy 3d tier fags coasting on being a console company's mascot.
>>739896419>using Sonic to shit on Crash>as if that series isn't one bad game away from being a laughingstock againThe movies can only carry it so far, the comics are dull due to being tied to canon, and Superstars is nowhere near as good as Mania AND got mogged by Mario Wonder. Sit down.>t. Sonic fan
>>739897463Its likely just one or several dedicated, boring autists. The two IP's have zero overlap or animosity beyond being centered around talking animals who fight mad scientists. Its like trying to force a rivalry with Kingdom Hearts and God of War because both series involve magic and killing monsters.
woahwoahWOAHWOAHOHOHOHOHOHOH
>>739888861cool guy. cool games.. only give a shit about the naughty dog games and bash. wish the remake of CTR was on pc.
>>739897732Well now I know for sure it's that, considering you're so brazen to pretend it's not a thing at all.
>>739888861whoa
>>739888861>trilogy remaster>no option to play as the low poly version seen in the introwhat the fuck
>>739898613Its been a thing since the CTR:NF days which happened over 7 years ago. Thats why its so boring. The sites quality and userbase declines and people habitually cling onto old habits they've constructed their personality around.
>>739888861Can't believe he eats all the wumpa fruits. Woah.
We'll never have peak like this again.
>>739898807Yeah no, you already failed to sell me on it being some nefarious "thread schizo" and not it being emblematic of how a certain community behaves. Knock it off.
>>739899086Saw Synth playing it.Man the game is so low effort in the platformer sense.
>>739899118People who talk about "thread schizos" are just projecting.
>>739899118I'm not trying to convince you of anything and schizos can belong to communities. You seem particularly interested in this more so than the average anon, so go through the archives to 2019.
Loved the ND games as a kid, really appreciate the work put into them now as an adult.Had a small crush on Coco way back.
>>739899527>we never got biker coco in ctrSad :(
Can someone explain why the franchises momentum just stopped? Was it not doing good for a while? What happened
>>739900371Crash was never good. The franchise never had momentum. Just a lotta Activision marketing dollars and nostalgia.
>>739900371Greedy publishers.
>>739888861dead
>>739900371>Can someone explain why the franchises momentum just stopped?They put Crash back to rest.
>>739900371Too many gaps in releasesND leaving and the franchise not having a consistent developer or said developers not knowing fundamentally what Crash is (some of the games were glorified cartoons and comedy routines disguised as games, the otherwise comedic death animations were taken the wrong way in an otherwise straightforward story)Universal/Activision only seeing Crash as a money maker and not an actual franchise to build and nurture, ND had to work in a hallway to finish Crash 3Alternatively, pic related.
>>739900371Naughty Dog seemingly only had plans for 3-CTR (and maybe Jak was a crash game but they lost the IP).Universal mismanaged the hell out of the IP in gen 6 and the series had a brief entirely different direction taken in gen 7 which was frowned upon at the time but people kind of accept as its own thing.Currently it's boned because it's owned by activision which is in turn owned by microsoft and because they're sitting on so many IPs nothing's really being done with it.Bonus the last two games weren't very good, and not in a>These are pretty blatantly in need of more work and are unfinishedLike the gen 6 titles and more in a>There's a fundamental misunderstanding of the franchise going on here and it's led to a poorly designed game.Probably doesn't help that it was given to the guys who made the Spyro Remake which wasn't received as well.
>>739888940fippy bippy
>>739900371they did everything they wanted with the formula by Crash 3 (which was mostly just a victory lap with a bunch of random gimmicks thrown in to make the point stick)there was never a necessity for a mainline crash game after 3, arguably even 2
>>739899317what?
>>739900371the cereal mascot platformers era endedsonic is only still around because of autism
>>739902579Zoomers don't play video games. They watch their surrogate fathers on twitch play them.
>>739888940Bash = 2 >1 > 3
Loved the series to death as a kid. Then it left Playstation.
