Why were all the 6th generation Crash Bandicoot games so shit? Even Andy Gavin and Jason Rubin disowned them and were overshadowed by the better GBA titles

Wrath of Cortex and TwinSanity were alright.

>Why
It went 3rd party.
Naughty Dog didn't make them.
Publishers gave developers little time/resources.
>>
>>12024682
Universal asked Travelers Tales to ditch their idea for a new Crash game and instead make another game like Warped on a tight deadline, and that's how WoC happened.
Nitro Kart would have been a better game if it had better physics and faster speed, CNK tracks on Nitro Fueled are super fun and just shows that the game needed more tweaks on its engine.
TwinSanity was too ambitious for Travelers Tales and Universal again gave them almost no time for developing so it was rushed and buggy to hell, its actually a miracle that the game was actually released at all.
Tag Team Racing was too unfocused with its gameplay and tried too hard to be a mid 00s Nickelodeon cartoon with its humor and writing.
Titans and Mutants were the typical shit reboot that fails to understand what made Crash beloved.

The GBA games by Vicarious Visions (XS, NTranced and Nitro Kart Advanced) were fine games at least

Twinsanity is rhe only halfway decent game there.

Wrath is fucking great. Better than the gimmickfest known as Warped
>>
> WOC
Okay
> Nitro
Best crash game of the sixth generation
>TS
Second best game and should be the blueprint for the rest of the games in the series
>TR
Mediocre, and it's one of the only racing games where the platforming is better than the racing
>COT
Not bad, but not very good. It's also a seventh gen game
>CMOM
Same shit
>>
>>12024682
Why does everyone hate on Tag Team? I remember liking it, the morphing with other carts made the meh kart racing controls fun still. The platforming was alright. It's probably my favorite of those games I think.

>>12024682
Crash PSX trilogy was so good it makes up for it. They genuinely made three masterpieces that all play totally different one year apart. It's honestly kinda insane
>>
>>12024682
because they weren't made by naughty dog retard, what kind of question is that?

WoC's awful boss fights might have something to do with it

Went too hard with the wacky humor of TwinSanity and it wasn't nearly as funny, the hubworld is fun but I'd rather have them focus more on the racing, which is the game's weakest aspect.
>the morphing made it fun
It made it more trivial than anything, you could just clash with anyone and let them drive for you until the nitro bar is full and you swap seats to spam boost, N.Gin was specially broken because of his missiles being super busted compared to the other weapons so every race will be:
>play or clash as N.Gin
>destroy everyone with your missiles then boost until you run out of ammo or die
>rinse and repeat until the finish line (i dont think the game cares if you get 1st place as both and counts it as a victory for you)

The other racing modes were kinda shit outside the time trials mode.
>>
The only bad game on that picture is CTTR. Everything else is decent.
