    You know, Croc's origins actually go so far back, it's said that the Albert J Crocodillo, the inventor of crocodiles, wrote these words down in his research notes upon looking at his creation: "You shall inspire a new generation of art, my reptilian friend." And after the crocodile ate him, his words were rediscovered by Jez Sen during secondary school centuries later, prompting him to quit school and start the part that led us to Mario 64. Thank you Dr. Crocodillo.

    I never had problems with Croc 1's controls to be honest (it was the very first 3D platformer I ever played admittedly). The need to buy items in Croc 2 was an annoyance admittedly (needing all 100 Crystals from a level to fully heal didn't bother me that much being as the boat race in world 1 and the Flavio the Thermal Fish boss fight in world 2 were both quick and easy to finish while giving 100 Crystals upon completion). My biggest issue with 2 was the fact that you only got one shot at certain rooms where you could acquire Golden Gobbos, requiring the whole level to be done over if I lost a life during them.

  • @OrionXIXI
    @OrionXIXI 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    28:14 Partly correct, but worth noting Rare had a fairly modern style of dual analog FPS control scheme available in Goldeneye and Perfect Dark, both earlier than Alien Resurrection, that let you plug in a second controller and hold one in each hand. A weird and pretty experimental idea, but the end result is essentially very similar to what you'd expect from a modern FPS on controller, all the way back in 1997.

    • @SineN0mine3
      @SineN0mine3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      It's a good example of why that criticism should be ignored. Croc 1 and 2 were great fun when they came out and if they were worried about it being too similar to other things they never would have made it.
      It might not be the best platformer from the era but a lot of people had fun playing it and I would think that's why most people make games and entertainment.
      Don't worry so much about making it original, just make it good!

    As I grew up with Sega, the Saturn being my first 3D console, this was my first 3D Platformer. I haven't played it since I was like four, but I remember very fondly.
    I remember it being the first game I ever played that brought up a message when your controller was unplugged. And I thought that was so cool.
