Current Events > Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy being a big success makes me happy

(+) Yeah! (+)

Those people who say Crash was never good can STFU. People loved and still love these games.

Hopefully we can get a Crash Bandicoot sequel that goes back to the corridor platforming or something like Mario Galaxy/3D World.

I'm not doubting you, but what's saying it's a big success?

It's no. 1 in the UK. That's it. No sales numbers though.

It's also cheaper than a new game, but apparently that doesn't matter.

After much cursing at my TV, I beat the first Crash of the N Sane Trilogy on Saturday night. It literally has been 20 years since I last beat the game.

In fact, I forgot about many levels and bosses. I forgot how to beat them O_O

Well it really doesn't. We're 21 years removed from the original Crash and this still hit number one? That's not something to scoff at.

Eh, it's the UK. Look at the rest of the chart.

Okay, I see your point, but I heard it's selling out.

Yeah Crash is a huge hit in the UK

Crash Bandicoot N Sane Trilogy has narrowly beaten Horizon: Zero Dawn to become the UK's biggest single-format boxed release of the year.

In fact, the only game to have enjoyed a bigger Week One was Ubisoft's Ghost Recon: Wildlands, which was released across multiple platforms.

I don't think it will be as crazy in the US but I'm guessing it'll end up being one of the best selling games of the year which is N. Sane indeed.

The unskippable intro every time you boot it up is my only gripe
---

Is the original Crash still as punishing? I know the save system was ridiculous, but surely they fixed that... right?

Not to shit on crash or anything since I haven't played it but the UK has the absolute worst taste of video games on the planet. It's like a playstation only casual island.

Yes they've fixed the save issue. You also don't need to do no-death runs on every single level. You just need to do it with the colored gems (which just so happen to be some of the toughest levels anyway).

I just keep the game in so I don't have to restart

original crash is still garbage and the controls are really difficult to get used to across all 3 games (early 3D games are rough), but crash 2 & warped have great level design and a ton of personality. glad im getting to play these games again
---

Ah don't rememeber Native Fortress being this much of a bastard on the PS1. @_@
---

I'm liking the first game more than I thought I would tbh. Only that bridge level with the turtles and Native Fortress have been shitty so far.
---

THAT'S IT! That''s all I can take!

Like Black Rock Shooter, babeh! I turn around and become Insane Black Rock Shooter.

*puts PS4 in rest mode*

I'll try again later.

Doesn't really have much to compete with at this time. Smart move by Sony to release a remake during a dry season. Wonder if they'll do the same for SoC.

I just wish it was better. The devs fucked up the visuals in some spots (it's too bright in the warp room in 2, add shadows for the love of god) and Crash 1 has some damning issues: https://streamable.com/hw6ba

- Crash's jump arc is faster, so he lands quicker, which fucks up some crucial platforming
- Crash will be shoved off tight platforms when he lands

Sounds like you just need to git gud.

I wonder if Microsoft are kicking themselves that they didn't do something like this for Banjo-Kazooie (which they did re-release but only with a resolution update).

I suppose they remade Conker and that wasn't a huge hit but that was an OG Xbox game.
