0:52 *THANK YOU* for saying that. God, I'm so sick to death of the idiots who can't tell the difference. Activision loves calling remakes "remasters", and it in turn has gotten other uneducated people making the same mistake too. It bothers me so much, as petty as it may sound.
I guess it's a nostalgia thing? The N Sane Trilogy was my first time playing Crash Bandicoot and I love the soundtrack. My wife, who grew up with the PlayStation classics, prefers the originals. I tried listening to them but I just can't get into it lol.
That beginning was legendary. LOWER-TIER DISNEY VILLAIN HAHAHA and I completely agree with Crash 1 standing out w/ the N. Sane Trilogy. It's somewhat my favorite just by a SPEC in comparison to Crashes 2 and 3 lol. Relics are also competitive as fuck now so that's cool! Also 2:12 fuckin' kills me dude LOOOL
I remember you Jerimiahisaiah were one of the First squere eyed jak subscribers (well I was too...)! despite the fact that your content is amazing as well!
Great review. I did like some of the extra details they added though, like tawna being re-captured after each bonus stage, and the addition of fake crash in the background of some levels in the first 2 games after you beat them, and the audience in the stands during tiny's fight throwing cheese and tomatoes at you.
Hey guys I hope you enjoy this one! If you're interested, I'll be live streaming the final relics for this game over the weekend at the normal times: Saturday 7pm Eastern for the US Sunday 12am for the UK and Sunday 9am Eastern for AUS So come along and watch me fail at being fast like Sonic, but staying cool like Crash, cheers!
Jak I Have The Same opinion As You.... Crash ! Was a Whole Lot Better And Is More Fun To Play... Crash 2 Does Not Feel The Same And i Would Rather Play The PS1 Version... But i Have Not Played Crash Warped In The N.sane Trilogy Yet... and Yes i Found Crash 2 To Be Harder And i am Usually Good at It On The PS1... Well Have a Good day. and I will Soon Do a Review Of This Game.
Probably won't happen. Crash is and has always been a Playstation game. I just pretend that the GBA games never existed especially the Spyro crossover... x.x
I hope to GOD(Oh wait. He doesn't exist...) this gets released on all platforms at some point. Wine all you want PlayStation fanboys, I'm not buying another $400 console just for one game.
The N.Sane trilogy is my first experience with the Crash games because of how young I was when the original games came out. I wasn't even born till about 2 months after the first game came out.
Nice review, Jak. I'm fucking pumped to see Crash back, for the longest time I thought for sure that Mind Over Mutant was the final bullet to the brain for the series and we'd never see our old orange boy again. I'm so happy that I was proven wrong in the best way possible. The best part for me is that it actually gives me hope for a Spyro remake, which would make me fill my pants with immeasurable quantities of joy.
I was really worried for Warped as well. I'm also glad I'm not the only one who felt mildly disappointed that N. Tropy wasn't lingering in the background in the opening cutscene.
Tbh all of these reviews with heavy warnings and lot of nitpicking basically means that a person is fan to the bone of that spesific thing and just wants to improve his favorite things, in this case Crash bandicoot francise as well as humanly possible. I agree with many of the things you said. Like it annoys me a bit that aku aku masks in remastered Crash 1 do 360`s unlike in the original which is cool, but unfortunately when u pick crystals etc in Crash 2/3 those dont spin at all... By no means gamebreaking but worth pointing regardless haha!
I'm surprised, but I agree with you, Jack about the whole "spoiling the game" shit, I have the amino app and i joined the crash community, I enter and see a picture of the remade N. Tropy, it's like, WHY?! I can't avoid it!
I hate how since crash 4, the camera follows crash as he jumps, instead of remaining fixed on the floor, so you can see the shadow and where you are going to land.
I wonder what is going to be next for our little orange fuck. Only time will tell. Great review Jak. We shall celebrate with Wumpa smoothies all round.
Glad this video didn't come out any sooner. I didn't watch any other reviews of this game, after watching your other shit dude, I knew this was the only one I needed. Played through all 3 and you brought up all the issues I had. How fucking SICK is Toxic Waste's soundtrack though?!
I don't know I kinda like the NEW slippery climb theme song... as much as the original I know the NEW music isn't as scary but still it does have a groovy tune!
I think this review was very accurate. Jak analysed the game very well and delivered it amazingly. Also let's all remember that the game has just come out, and Jak has got the review up already. Bra fucking vo *claps hands*
It's like every day I watch your content, I just keep thinking to myself, "How the hell does this guy not have a lot of subscribers and views?!" You just may be my favorite underrated TH-camr, and I agree with most of what you say in your reviews, including this one. Keep up the good work! :)
Having played and completed both the originals and remakes all in the past month, I still prefer the originals for 2 & 3. The physics are better, control is more responsive, voice-acting is superior, gameplay is faster, and the music is better overall (though some tunes I do prefer the N. Sane version of, particularly in Crash 3). The N. Sane trilogy is an appreciated effort from Vicarious Visions, and I'm grateful that they've brought Crash back into relevance...but when it's all said & done, the originals just play better as actual video games. N. Sane is just...prettier.
OhSureWhyNot I agree. Though some levels especially in the original Crash 2 looks way better such as the snow levels. The music is also better in the originals imo. (2nd, 3rd games) I really enjoyed Crash 1 on the remake though. And it's the prettiest one.
I see nothing wrong with the jumping mechanics. It makes it more difficult since we have to be precise with timing them. In the originals, most jumps can be easily made even if you screwed up on it a little.
It's like they went all out on remaking the original, all the details were there and the graphics and environments were so much better then the other 2 remakes. Yes the graphics are amazing overall but crash 1 seems to have more effort put into it. Maybe they made the original the most graphically and detail intensive game to touch everyone's soft spot.
no they made the original more graphically and detail intensive than the other 2 because they started making crash 1 them moved on to 2 and last 3 that is why crash 3 is lacking some details JAK xD I think the game was a bit rushed... btw watch beta m's channel! he found many glitches in the game
An excellent review, I must say. I like how you weren't afraid to give the little problems a thorough beatdown while still finding a lot to enjoy overall. To me, that's always been the best quality about the Crash series as a whole. For everything it does wrong, it does three things right in my eyes. No, we're NOT here to talk about Boom Bang or Purple, fanboys, so shut up. And I concur to the idea of seeing at least one more new Crash game to round out the package, or failing that, a remaster of CTR and/or Twinsanity. And yes, a remastered Spyro trilogy would be nice as well, not least because it would be my first time playing those particular Spyro games and finally seeing firsthand what all the fuss is about. On that note, I'll leave you and everyone else in this comment section to it, Jakky-boy. Have an N. Sanely great fucking day!
This is the most fair and well thought out review of seen of this game so far, great video mate. Looking forward to the Spyro Remaster review whenever that game gets made.
It's such a shame that less people are into Crash 1 in the remake. The changes they made were pretty small if you think about it but they really transform the game into something great. I'm also really glad to hear you share the same thoughts as me regarding the relics on the old games. I found them to be such a great way to breath some extra life into the older titles. I'm also glad to hear that you hated everything getting spoiled ridiculously early. I fucking hated that and no one else seemed to be bothered by it. Great video and great analysis all throughout!
Also here's something to think about. Essentially this trilogy also acts as a sort of Soft Reboot to the crash franchise. After the inevitable CTR (maybe Crash Bash) remastering, Vicarious can continue the saga in new different ways. Hell maybe they'll reintroduce Crunch in a much better game and AVOID making him a goddamn Mr. T clone wannabe. Plus we could explore new ideas never thought of. The Sky is the limit and bless the gods that this "Reboot" kicked off the right way LITERALLY sticking with the basics.
Crash 1 is easy in this version, you say? I'm stuck on The High Road. It's pretty much unplayable. I tried it in the original version, and while the level is hard, it was doable. They've changed the jumping mechanics for Crash 1
OMG he didn't give them 11/10, unsubscribed and reported. Seriously though, great review :p Funnily enough, while I didn't have much problems with Crash 1 (100% in an afternoon, and it didn't take me long to get 99 lives), Crash 2 kind of kicked my ass in a way I didn't expect, so much that I couldn't get past 20 lives in my entire playthrough. And then there's Crash 3, which I basically ate in a few hours.
To be honest I would absolutely love to see Vicarious Visions pump out an all new game with the same models and graphics as in the remade trilogy, or at least an all new series of levels. It would be nice to see a more Naughty Dog inspired game or more levels that aren't remakes of previous games. Like Future Tense is an example of this but it's only one level. I absolutely love the N. Sane Trilogy as much as the original trilogy and although we still don't have that new Crash platformer that stands tall with the Naughty Dog ones, we do have that Vicarious Visions remake which is just as good as the original.
Honestly I prefer Polars controls in N Sane Trilogy as the original felt to tight and especially on those last three boxes could be a bitch so having better Horizontal movement is nice.
I'd say the 7-9/10 range is appropriate for this remaster. If anything this is the best review I've seen that gave the remaster a 7 so far. I just got done reading the review from Gamespot (which I hated) and it kinda made me appreciate reviews like this a whole lot more since you went into a lot of detail with the review. I'm gonna sub to your channel for more content cause of reviews like these. Keep up the good work.
many complain about the First game and question if the game was that hard in the original and they say that they made the game a lot more difficult -.- they have certainly not played the original!
The problem with the physics in crash one and two is caused by the entire trilogy using crash three's physics across the board. They just took away some moves for crash one.
I'm loving the game, but I actually don't see the controls as improved in Crash 1. I'm getting the hang of them now, so I'm no longer throwing a pity party for myself over The High Road, but I definitely think the Jump does not match the level design. This makes some sense since VV has admitted they basically had to unify the Jump mechanics and decided to take them from Warped. That's probably why jumps feel so off to me in Crash 1 and Slightly off in Crash 2. Even though it's miles harder, Crash 1 is DEFINITELY the one they put the most love into visually. I'm loving every second of it.
Since this game has done well in sales and criticalnreception, hopefully we'll soon see new Crash games, and a Spyro remaster. I just hope if we do get a Spyro remaster, that it runs at 60 frames per second instead of 30.
I had to play through the games before I watched any reviews as I'm going to review the game myself but as soon as I finished, your review was the first one I had to look at because your experience with these games is just amazing. And holy balls this was great! Again, you were harsh but like always, it's coming from a genuine place which shows just how much you love the series and know the series can be truly great. I definitely agreed on your comments about the music, it really goes to show that music does play a big part in immersion and it's a shame they made the creepier songs like Slippery Climb or The Generator Rooms sound less intimidating than they originally were. Admittedly, there's not much I can say about the original first game as I didn't play it as a child and when I played it on emulator, I only made it up to Sunset Vista and got stuck there and the laptop I was playing on crapped out and died on me and I just wasn't wanting to start all over again at the time so yeah, I definitely can not go into depth with comparing the games but I'll take your word for it because you've played the game so many times. Crash 2 was pretty good but yeah, I think they could've done things a little better like the graphical effects on the projectors when talking to Cortex or Coco and Polar's stiffer/awkward controls. But fr the most part, I think it did just fine. Crash Bandicoot 3 was the one I was anticipating the most because it was technically the first Crash game I owned as a kid but yeah, I also agree that there were a few things off with this game. I know you didn't say much about the vehicles but I personally couldn't stand the Coco's jet ski levels, Fucking hell controlling that thing was bloody awful. I mean, I didn't die during them but I just didn't like the way it felt. Everything else though was just fine I thought. Overall, I enjoyed watching your review and I'm happy that you addressed the first thoughts and the aftermath. I remember your Crash hate" video and how it was negatively received but the early trailers really weren't that good and could've been better. But I'm glad you ended up enjoying the game and taking back some of the things you said in that video and even better, this little trilogy showed that Vicarious Visions definitely has the drive to deliver some pretty great games because at least for me anyway, their games were always on the hit/miss (mostly miss due to floaty/awkward controls/physics) but this trilogy shows that they have come a long way since their humble beginnings. Anyway, I can't wait to do my own review on this game but great review man, looking forward to see the next video and I hope that you continue to enjoy the leftover stuff this game has to offer, plus the DLC that is coming. :)
When you get most of your subs. really eager to watch new content, that's when you know you're on the right path; honestly Jak I think I speak for most of your subscribers when I say that throughout the entire week (and the previous one) almost all I could think of was this video being uploaded. It's so pleasant to see some thorough analysis on this game since it is what Crash deserves. I really hope you keep delivering stuff like this.
Jumps are harder because crash's hitbox is different. It was a big box in the originals, but here it's more rounded, making it harder to nail jumps, and why Stormy Ascent is practically unplayable except as a bonus challenge which really tests you
I really like Tiny in crash 3. I feel like when he shreds the metal wall, it is less powerful and not as brutal in the original crash 2 but i guess that's just my pet peev. Uku Uku's game over in 3 is complete shit but is still an ok character. X]
Dingodile is awesome in the trilogy. His boss fight was easier in my opinion but is still a great character. I prefer titans N. Gin in because he was halerious, but this N. Gin has such a cool character concept.
N-Tropy because of his no nonsense/no bullshit attitude compared to Cortex's other goons. And he was always my fav boss to duke out against on the original PS1 game
Great review as always. Even if I think Crash Warped here is much better than the original. Guys If you're reading this and you care for Crash please buy this game so we can get a second trilogy with CTR, Wrath of Cortex and Twinsanity (because yes, they ARE Crash 4 and 5, accept it), cause those games REALLY need the improvements
Lol id expect him to be like most fans completly nostalgia blinded bitching about their opinionated thoughts about the music, sound effects, and the jumping when they all are fine. Plus they should be glad that crash is back in the first place. Don't get me wrong when it comes to music and sounds the originals are way better and should have been in the remake/remaster as an option to switch or dlc, but these remixes are still fine. As for the jumpings yes they are different but they do make the games much harder than the originals where you can just quickly go past everything even with some screw-ups in the player's timings of their jumps. Same thing goes for spyro.
you know what? i would love a new crash bandicoot game, twinsanity style (or a finished crash twinsanity) or hell even crash 2 or 3 style but completely new, based on the level desing and mechanics of the old ones but still being a new game, something like dark souls 3 being a lot like 1 but improving on previous issues and just being a good game.
Been waiting on this review for a year. Proud of ya man. You were a trooper. Thanks for the video glad you enjoyed yourself. Need to play ratchet and clank. Its a good play like the original.
@22:46 I beated Dingodile a few hours ago on the Nintendo Switch version and he actually said his dialogue when he's defeated. Probably they made an update patch Dingodile to use his quote for the PS4 version as well. Edit: I watched your other review on this game and they did add the dialogue.
the Bridge is harder then the original, that's because they used controlls closer to the third game, instead of 3 different controll style,1 for each game, So year that's why the first games jump seem harder ;)
And the details that's missing, that's how many games sadly are nowadays, (example) Dragon Ball Xenoverse frieza can't transform thru all his forms, but it was possible on the PS2, same with super sayan* hair, just changes color, older versions Changed the Hair Completey! I miss details like that in games...
Coco is friggin adorable. I love her design so much.
0:52 *THANK YOU* for saying that. God, I'm so sick to death of the idiots who can't tell the difference.
Activision loves calling remakes "remasters", and it in turn has gotten other uneducated people making the same mistake too. It bothers me so much, as petty as it may sound.
Awesome review, Humanized Dingodile.
Lel
Lol xd
Crash 1 being better makes this whole collection worth is in my opinion that game was in dire need of improvements. Fuck The High Road tho lmao
For sure and yeah, FUCK The High Road! :P
Square Eyed Jak
All the other levels were pretty easy, but when i got to the High Road i lost like 30 lives because of the damn turtles...
I wish there was an option to have the original soundtrack
And no subtitles too
I guess it's a nostalgia thing? The N Sane Trilogy was my first time playing Crash Bandicoot and I love the soundtrack. My wife, who grew up with the PlayStation classics, prefers the originals. I tried listening to them but I just can't get into it lol.
the only legitimate complaint I have with these remakes is the jumping mechanics and the ice physics
One of N Brio's Bonus levels (which you have to hit all the boxes now), I swear Crash couldn't make it. Many retries, I did it!
Einamu エイナム Because the Edges in the levels are not square anymore
they are like a U upside down (half circle)
Einamu エイナム and the loading screens
Seriously wish they would update it
Ahhh, another Crash Bandicoot review. Like good times…
Very true. Crash bandicoot was a ps1 classic. Crash bandicoot review is a Square Eyed Jak classic.
I feel like his falling speed is faster, so most of the jumps are harder to do, like the jumps from the turtles in the High Road.
Exactly.
Get good then
Since when did you play crash? I’m a big fan
Something i really loved that VV included in the game was a Leaderboard for time trails.
That beginning was legendary.
LOWER-TIER DISNEY VILLAIN HAHAHA
and I completely agree with Crash 1 standing out w/ the N. Sane Trilogy. It's somewhat my favorite just by a SPEC in comparison to Crashes 2 and 3 lol. Relics are also competitive as fuck now so that's cool! Also 2:12 fuckin' kills me dude LOOOL

Yes, love all of those details. I just find it disappointing that existing details are kind of lacking
fair enough and I agree with that 100%
I enjoyed the quality of life changes to crash 1 but the original 2 and 3 were better
Hey guys I hope you enjoy this one! If you're interested, I'll be live streaming the final relics for this game over the weekend at the normal times:

12am in the UK. I stay up at 12 just to watch your streams XD.
I hate it when people bitch about him and how he takes his time with his reviews. Him uploading the review so early is just amazing to me.
Jak I Have The Same opinion As You.... Crash ! Was a Whole Lot Better And Is More Fun To Play... Crash 2 Does Not Feel The Same And i Would Rather Play The PS1 Version... But i Have Not Played Crash Warped In The N.sane Trilogy Yet... and Yes i Found Crash 2 To Be Harder And i am Usually Good at It On The PS1... Well Have a Good day. and I will Soon Do a Review Of This Game.
cool and thanks for the schedule mate I hope everyone gets it.
what score did he gave??
A 30 minute video that I am actually keen to watch all of and enjoy! Ya never fail Jak, keep it up man.
Cheers mate! :D
Square Eyed Jak. good vid. u & Cal are both equally good
Square Eyed Jak CHEERS :D
I want a PS4 more badly than you can ever imagine.
Fingers cross for a Xbox One release! Oh maybe a Switch version.
I don't have a Switch (because pretty much broke) and I don't have a Xbox One (I have absolutely NO reason to even get one)
Probably won't happen. Crash is and has always been a Playstation game. I just pretend that the GBA games never existed especially the Spyro crossover... x.x
I hope to GOD(Oh wait. He doesn't exist...) this gets released on all platforms at some point. Wine all you want PlayStation fanboys, I'm not buying another $400 console just for one game.
I bought an uncharted 4 ps4 pack with a controller for 250..
The N.Sane trilogy is my first experience with the Crash games because of how young I was when the original games came out. I wasn't even born till about 2 months after the first game came out.
Love how old school you tried to make the intros of each game
It was a really nice effect =]
22:40 They re-added Dingodile's quote after the update. :)
I think you deserve more subs for such great content
Nice review, Jak.

Wow Jak this is early. Good job dude.
actually its 2.50 am to me
I was talking about how fast the review was uploaded lol.
I platinumed Crash 1 yesterday. So happy.
i plated all of them :P
Good job dude, congrats. :]
Good luck with the platinum trophies, the relics are a pain in the ass. I managed to get all gold in Crash 2 but gave up on Crash 1 half way through.
I was really worried for Warped as well. I'm also glad I'm not the only one who felt mildly disappointed that N. Tropy wasn't lingering in the background in the opening cutscene.
IIRC I was looking for him in the background. Was disappointed
Watched all your Spyro reviews and watching your N.Sane I will say I really love your reviews and subscribed
The High Road.... So many lives were lost during that level. Even ended
up rage quiting but I think I can do it with less deaths now.
I bought the N. Sane Trilogy on release day, 100% it in 3 days, and then haven't touched it again ever since.
See you all in 20 more years.
LMAO I had the same 1st death as you with the boxes appearing slower, I had to restart the game when I made my video so it wouldn't look stupid lol.
Ahaha that's amazing, glad I'm not the only one there.
+Square Eyed Jak yeah they fucked the slippery climb music
Square Eyed Jak originals same remastered but i hope developer made team racing and bash ✌️😁
Your remixes are straight fire dude. I really love your work. =]

I can't wait for the next Crash trilogy Review (in another 20 years LOL) (re-remade) Imagine that!
only one problem I have with this review, a missing quote from your channel that always cracks me up:
LIKE CRASH THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Having played and completed both the originals and remakes all in the

I really enjoyed Crash 1 on the remake though. And it's the prettiest one.
The only thing i hate is the jumping. In crash 1 especially, i CONSTANTLY undershot my jumps. The hitboxes were very inconsistent as well.
I see nothing wrong with the jumping mechanics. It makes it more difficult since we have to be precise with timing them. In the originals, most jumps can be easily made even if you screwed up on it a little.

I'm also glad to hear that you hated everything getting spoiled ridiculously early. I fucking hated that and no one else seemed to be bothered by it.
Great video and great analysis all throughout!
Also here's something to think about. Essentially this trilogy also acts as a sort of Soft Reboot to the crash franchise. After the inevitable CTR (maybe Crash Bash) remastering, Vicarious can continue the saga in new different ways. Hell maybe they'll reintroduce Crunch in a much better game and AVOID making him a goddamn Mr. T clone wannabe. Plus we could explore new ideas never thought of. The Sky is the limit and bless the gods that this "Reboot" kicked off the right way LITERALLY sticking with the basics.
Crash 1 is easy in this version, you say? I'm stuck on The High Road. It's pretty much unplayable. I tried it in the original version, and while the level is hard, it was doable. They've changed the jumping mechanics for Crash 1
OMG he didn't give them 11/10, unsubscribed and reported.
Seriously though, great review :p Funnily enough, while I didn't have much problems with Crash 1 (100% in an afternoon, and it didn't take me long to get 99 lives), Crash 2 kind of kicked my ass in a way I didn't expect, so much that I couldn't get past 20 lives in my entire playthrough. And then there's Crash 3, which I basically ate in a few hours.
To be honest I would absolutely love to see Vicarious Visions pump out an all new game with the same models and graphics as in the remade trilogy, or at least an all new series of levels. It would be nice to see a more Naughty Dog inspired game or more levels that aren't remakes of previous games. Like Future Tense is an example of this but it's only one level. I absolutely love the N. Sane Trilogy as much as the original trilogy and although we still don't have that new Crash platformer that stands tall with the Naughty Dog ones, we do have that Vicarious Visions remake which is just as good as the original.
Honestly I prefer Polars controls in N Sane Trilogy as the original felt to tight and especially on those last three boxes could be a bitch so having better Horizontal movement is nice.
I enjoy all your videos man😍
Jack you are literally my favorite reviewer!
I'd say the 7-9/10 range is appropriate for this remaster. If anything this is the best review I've seen that gave the remaster a 7 so far. I just got done reading the review from Gamespot (which I hated) and it kinda made me appreciate reviews like this a whole lot more since you went into a lot of detail with the review. I'm gonna sub to your channel for more content cause of reviews like these. Keep up the good work.
They changed the jumping from the original. So it seems a bit harder in some areas.
many complain about the First game and question if the game was that hard in the original and they say that they made the game a lot more difficult -.- they have certainly not played the original!
The problem with the physics in crash one and two is caused by the entire trilogy using crash three's physics across the board. They just took away some moves for crash one.
now all we need is a CTR remaster/remake with added race tracks and bonus character like Spyro. make it possible VV
I'm loving the game, but I actually don't see the controls as improved in Crash 1. I'm getting the hang of them now, so I'm no longer throwing a pity party for myself over The High Road, but I definitely think the Jump does not match the level design. This makes some sense since VV has admitted they basically had to unify the Jump mechanics and decided to take them from Warped. That's probably why jumps feel so off to me in Crash 1 and Slightly off in Crash 2. Even though it's miles harder, Crash 1 is DEFINITELY the one they put the most love into visually. I'm loving every second of it.
This is the longest review you ever MADE
Yeah dude, new record!
I thought you would give Crash 2 a score of 4 or 5 according to what you said about it. The score of 7 was a surprise for me.
Since this game has done well in sales and criticalnreception, hopefully we'll soon see new Crash games, and a Spyro remaster.
I just hope if we do get a Spyro remaster, that it runs at 60 frames per second instead of 30.
I got 100% in Crash 1 & Crash 2 on the N. Sane Trilogy. Still working on Crash 3 though
awesome review mate
Best reviewer out there!
Did you see a picture of Nathan Drake in the crash 3 intro or was it just me
Spyro the Dragon thats cool. I never noticed that
I can only wait to see your review of the reignited trilogy
10:02 Stay there m8 ill go find help XDDD I laughed so hard
I love this channel
I had to play through the games before I watched any reviews as I'm going to review the game myself but as soon as I finished, your review was the first one I had to look at because your experience with these games is just amazing. And holy balls this was great!
Again, you were harsh but like always, it's coming from a genuine place which shows just how much you love the series and know the series can be truly great. I definitely agreed on your comments about the music, it really goes to show that music does play a big part in immersion and it's a shame they made the creepier songs like Slippery Climb or The Generator Rooms sound less intimidating than they originally were. Admittedly, there's not much I can say about the original first game as I didn't play it as a child and when I played it on emulator, I only made it up to Sunset Vista and got stuck there and the laptop I was playing on crapped out and died on me and I just wasn't wanting to start all over again at the time so yeah, I definitely can not go into depth with comparing the games but I'll take your word for it because you've played the game so many times.
Crash 2 was pretty good but yeah, I think they could've done things a little better like the graphical effects on the projectors when talking to Cortex or Coco and Polar's stiffer/awkward controls. But fr the most part, I think it did just fine.
Crash Bandicoot 3 was the one I was anticipating the most because it was technically the first Crash game I owned as a kid but yeah, I also agree that there were a few things off with this game. I know you didn't say much about the vehicles but I personally couldn't stand the Coco's jet ski levels, Fucking hell controlling that thing was bloody awful. I mean, I didn't die during them but I just didn't like the way it felt. Everything else though was just fine I thought.
Overall, I enjoyed watching your review and I'm happy that you addressed the first thoughts and the aftermath. I remember your Crash hate" video and how it was negatively received but the early trailers really weren't that good and could've been better. But I'm glad you ended up enjoying the game and taking back some of the things you said in that video and even better, this little trilogy showed that Vicarious Visions definitely has the drive to deliver some pretty great games because at least for me anyway, their games were always on the hit/miss (mostly miss due to floaty/awkward controls/physics) but this trilogy shows that they have come a long way since their humble beginnings.
Anyway, I can't wait to do my own review on this game but great review man, looking forward to see the next video and I hope that you continue to enjoy the leftover stuff this game has to offer, plus the DLC that is coming. :)
I've been waiting for this
When you get most of your subs. really eager to watch new content, that's when you know you're on the right path; honestly Jak I think I speak for most of your subscribers when I say that throughout the entire week (and the previous one) almost all I could think of was this video being uploaded. It's so pleasant to see some thorough analysis on this game since it is what Crash deserves. I really hope you keep delivering stuff like this.
Cheers dude, I've got some things coming up I'm really excited about so hopefully people enjoy them! :)
Cheers dude, I've got some things coming up I'm really excited about so hopefully people enjoy them! :)
I'm so happy Crash is back :)
Really good, and fair review of this.
Good Job Jak!!! Great vid!!
The honesty at the beginning had me in stitches ahahahaah, always a pleasure never a chore when watching your videos Jak!
I love your stuff Jak, some of the greatest shit I've seen in years.
Cheers! :D
Jumps are harder because crash's hitbox is different. It was a big box in the originals, but here it's more rounded, making it harder to nail jumps, and why Stormy Ascent is practically unplayable except as a bonus challenge which really tests you
Very, very nice. Very much worth the wait.
Enjoying these remasters. Crash 2 is my favorite.
I want to know what characters people like the most in the N. Sane trilogy.
I like Uka Uka and Tiny c:
I really like Tiny in crash 3. I feel like when he shreds the metal wall, it is less powerful and not as brutal in the original crash 2 but i guess that's just my pet peev. Uku Uku's game over in 3 is complete shit but is still an ok character. X]
i like dingodile and n.gin
Dingodile is awesome in the trilogy. His boss fight was easier in my opinion but is still a great character. I prefer titans N. Gin in because he was halerious, but this N. Gin has such a cool character concept.
N-Tropy because of his no nonsense/no bullshit attitude compared to Cortex's other goons. And he was always my fav boss to duke out against on the original PS1 game
Great review as always. Even if I think Crash Warped here is much better than the original. Guys If you're reading this and you care for Crash please buy this game so we can get a second trilogy with CTR, Wrath of Cortex and Twinsanity (because yes, they ARE Crash 4 and 5, accept it), cause those games REALLY need the improvements
great review mate ,keep up ,
Imagine if TheStimpyland was still around, then how would he give his opinion on the trilogy? Too bad he's history.
Lol id expect him to be like most fans completly nostalgia blinded bitching about their opinionated thoughts about the music, sound effects, and the jumping when they all are fine. Plus they should be glad that crash is back in the first place. Don't get me wrong when it comes to music and sounds the originals are way better and should have been in the remake/remaster as an option to switch or dlc, but these remixes are still fine. As for the jumpings yes they are different but they do make the games much harder than the originals where you can just quickly go past everything even with some screw-ups in the player's timings of their jumps. Same thing goes for spyro.
you know what? i would love a new crash bandicoot game, twinsanity style (or a finished crash twinsanity)
or hell even crash 2 or 3 style but completely new, based on the level desing and mechanics of the old ones but still being a new game, something like dark souls 3 being a lot like 1 but improving on previous issues and just being a good game.
Been waiting on this review for a year. Proud of ya man. You were a trooper. Thanks for the video glad you enjoyed yourself. Need to play ratchet and clank. Its a good play like the original.
Haha cheers mate.
Best review, Better then game spot keep it up mate definitely subscribe !
yo NOT ONLY IS CRASH BACK, BUT SQUARE EYED JAK IS BACK!
SLAM THAT LIKE AND SHARE THIS ORGASMIC VIDEO,YA FUCKS!
am glad Crash is back to kick some ass
This was a great review. Fair and well put together.
Cheers mate! :D
Hopefully we will get a new Crash Game IMO.
In your opinion???
Whoop well have a CTR Remaster
This is bloody N. Sane!
@22:46 I beated Dingodile a few hours ago on the Nintendo Switch version and he actually said his dialogue when he's defeated. Probably they made an update patch Dingodile to use his quote for the PS4 version as well.
Edit: I watched your other review on this game and they did add the dialogue.
the Bridge is harder then the original, that's because they used controlls closer to the third game, instead of 3 different controll style,1 for each game, So year that's why the first games jump seem harder ;)
And the details that's missing, that's how many games sadly are nowadays, (example) Dragon Ball Xenoverse frieza can't transform thru all his forms, but it was possible on the PS2, same with super sayan* hair, just changes color, older versions Changed the Hair Completey! I miss details like that in games...
