Romier S 5,026 Posted June 19, 2020 Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 Toys for Bob is developing. They handled both the Crash remasters and the Spyro remasters. Both of which were excellent. The new levels they did for Crash were also well received by the fans. It should be good! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Angry the Clown 4,227 Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 I never took to Crash, but this one looks really lovely. OldDarth 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Romier S 5,026 Posted August 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 State of Play overview: Looks damned good, frankly. Toys for Bob is doing good work with this and the Spyro series. Magness 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Angry the Clown 4,227 Posted August 7, 2020 Report Share Posted August 7, 2020 I really do like the look of this one. Those inverted modes look like a really well executed way to encourage multiple play throughs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Angry the Clown 4,227 Posted October 2, 2020 Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 Anyone picking this up? Reviews seem pretty good. Here's the Digital Foundry verdict on the performance: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Romier S 5,026 Posted October 2, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2020 Hopefully this leads to Toys for Bob resurrecting Spyro. The Spyro trilogy remaster was a blast From them and I’d love a new game in that series a little more than Crash, frankly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, as I've written before I never really took to Crash so was surprised how much I actually like the look of the new one. I did have affection for Spyro however, and I actually plan to get the Crash/Spyro bundle on the PS Store sometime when it's on sale as it's been as low as £29 before which is a steal for that much content. It will also give me an opportunity to give Crash another chance as I actually do like the look of It's About Time, but feel it's only right to play the others first.

AlbertA 703 Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 Any PS5 news for this one? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Angry the Clown 4,227 Posted October 3, 2020 Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 No word on next-gen patches or dedicated releases for either PS5 or Series X sadly, no. As the Digital Foundry video notes however, in theory both platforms should lock the game in at 60fps without the minor dips seen on the mid-gen systems via way of their native "boosts," but 1080 is as good as it'll get on the resolution front short of a patch/next-gen version. I really thought some of these late generation games might have patches for the new consoles in the works (Crash, Tony Hawk's, Squadrons...etc), but sadly not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Romier S 5,026 Posted October 3, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2020 I just bought it on the Xbox One today. It says Series X on the packaging but that doesn’t mean much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Romier S 5,026 Posted October 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 Played through the first 5-6 levels to get a taste. It’s very much Crash Bandicoot and builds on the work done for the remasters. The image quality is a little soft on the X but it kind of works with the cartoon design of the game. Otherwise, it improves upon the visuals in the remasters by a good bit and the level design has been enjoyable with plenty of callbacks to the previous games and some rather challenging bonus levels. I only wanted to sample the game as I don’t plan on immediately playing it but I felt I needed to support a new (quality) Crash game and I’m quite eager to dig in after I finish up Little Nightmare and Squadrons.

Angry the Clown 4,227 Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 That's fantastic. I plan to work through the trilogy on PS+ first, but I'm keen to play About Time. Pleasantly surprised it will be a free upgrade for those who already own it too. I wonder if they'd do the same for Tony Hawk's? With Vicarious Visions smooshed into Blizzard my assumption would have to be no. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
