#Crash Bandicoot remastered

[avengedcelery]

Video games used to just be silly little guys in vibrant and fantastical settings going on funky adventures and it makes me really sad that the only games we get like that now are from franchises established back then

Such a cute pairing, I wish that Tawna stayed. She could've made a great big sister for Coco and maybe have funny interactions with Crunch, I just wished she stayed with the bandicoot family. @crikeydaveart

Crash and Tawna Bandicoot!

In our final episode for Crash Bandicoot 1 we face both Dr. Nitrus Brio and Dr. Neo Cortex as we burn it all down and close out our adventure.

My audio is going to be wonky for this playthrough due to my having lost the audacity files for my side of everything. Whoops!

Welcome to the N. Sane Trilogy! Thyme kicks off the collection with the supposed "dark souls" of PS1 games with Crash Bandicoot 1 and enjoys updated graphics with what he describes as less precise and floaty controls than he remembers.

Celebrating the Legacy of Crash Bandicoot: A Beloved Platformer with Challenging Gameplay and Colorful Characters

The franchise began in 1996 with the release of the first game, "Crash Bandicoot," for the PlayStation console. It quickly gained popularity for its fun and challenging gameplay, colorful characters, and vibrant levels. The series follows the adventures of Crash Bandicoot, a genetically enhanced marsupial who battles against the evil scientist Dr. Neo Cortex and his henchmen. Crash's main objective is to save his girlfriend, Tawna, and thwart Cortex's plans for world domination. The gameplay in Crash Bandicoot is a mix of platforming, action, and puzzle-solving. Players control Crash as he navigates through various levels, collecting Wumpa fruits, smashing crates, and defeating enemies. The games are known for their challenging platforming sections, which require precise timing and quick reflexes to overcome obstacles and reach the end of each level. Throughout the series, Crash Bandicoot has become an iconic character in the gaming industry, known for his energetic personality, humorous animations, and signature spin attack. The franchise has expanded to include numerous sequels, spin-offs, and remastered versions, allowing players to continue enjoying Crash's adventures on various gaming platforms. In recent years, Crash Bandicoot has experienced a resurgence in popularity with the release of the "Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy," a collection of remastered versions of the original three games, and "Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled," a remastered version of the popular kart racing game. These releases have introduced Crash to a new generation of players while also appealing to longtime fans. Overall, Crash Bandicoot has left a lasting impact on the gaming industry with its charming characters, challenging gameplay, and nostalgic appeal.

Interview with the creator, Tokuro Fujiwara.

And here is a new interview with Tomba! creator Tokuro Fujiwara published on PlayStation Blog:

In 1997, when you made Tomba!, most developers focused on making 3D games like Tomb Raider or Crash Bandicoot. You instead decided to mix 2D sprites with perspective-shifting 3D environments. Why? Tokuro Fujiwara: “Tomba! runs on 3D technology, with gameplay designed around 2D principles. This is why it’s described as a 2.5D game. I think 2D games have a certain kind of charm that 3D doesn’t. I also wanted to push the limits of what could be done. To bring my vision to life, I needed to use 2D principles along with 3D CG visuals. This allowed me to create something that felt new on the PlayStation. “There were times when I wondered if I should go 3D instead, 3D games have a very clear sense of space. In 2D, all the action takes place on a flat plane, and multiple layers provide a sense of depth. This means you have to design the game in creative ways so that the different layers don’t conflict. This results in something interesting that can only be achieved with 2D.” What do you hope new players will take away from Tomba! Special Edition? Fujiwara: “Tomba! has many side quests. These come in different varieties and are hidden throughout the game. I encourage players to seek them out. Various items allow players to learn new moves, expanding how levels can be beaten. I hope players search and seal away the Evil Pigs scattered throughout the world, which will unlock even more to see! There are many discoveries to be made. I hope players can relax and enjoy the world of Tomba!” Speaking of genre-bending gameplay. Tomba! feels like an open world despite being described as a side-scrolling platformer. This was largely due to how nonlinearly the levels could be played. Was this done intentionally, or was it something that just happened through development? Fujiwara: “I had envisioned this open-feel game from the very beginning. It was all a blur when things started, but as development progressed, it began taking shape. “You could consider Tomba! an open-world title, a term that was rarely used back then. There’s a wide area with a lot of different content in it. You encounter, discover, and collect various things as you move around. For example, you have to complete certain tasks in Tomba!, but you can wander around freely and complete them however you like. Some tasks and main objectives can even be skipped entirely. Many of the ideas I envisioned for Tomba! back in the day were ideas we see in open-world game design today. “I initially wanted to include 100 quests, but the final game exceeded that. It was hard work for the team to fit it all together on a timeline. What started out as vague ideas in my head ballooned into an amount of content so large it blew my mind!” The original PlayStation was a massive leap in gaming technology. What was it like to experience it back then? Fujiwara: “Game development is an ongoing battle against technology growth. This was the case back then and is still true today. I felt that the PlayStation was such a remarkable improvement in terms of hardware, allowing for greater possibilities. Games went from being rendered in pixels to CG. Game developers had to learn many new skills. Expectations ballooned along with the scope of game ideas. Development environments evolved, which made things challenging but exciting for developers. The introduction of the PlayStation and the advancements from that era still impact games today.” Finally, why do you think it’s important to bring Tomba! back now? Fujiwara: “Tomba! has been around for a long time, but continues to be loved by many. I’ve long wished that the game could be accessible to more people on modern systems. Now that the opportunity is here, I think PlayStation fans today will get a ton of enjoyment out of Tomba!“

lately, i've been replaying a few things in my catalogue. symphony of the night, melody of memory, spyro reignited trilogy, crash bandicoot remaster trilogy, portrait of ruin. i finished reading dungeon meshi a few weeks back, went to super nintendo world earlier this week with my friends, started reading the ATLA comics. i've even finished a design for the snow miku 2025 contest that I intend to digitize soon.

and now, as if it were simply waiting for me to come home, back to kingdom hearts.

i feel, finally, like my energy is coming back. like i spent the past few pandemic years just coasting. i can engage with things and people and art and life again. and of course, i can update my little journal here on tumblr. 10 years and counting here - I wonder how many phases of life it might see?
