      Her stages were still the worst. She had the worst side stages in the game. At the very least dingo and cortex had alternate platforming and mobility while she had less mobility and a grappling hook that was just a one button teleport to the next part of the stage. Also she's a remade character who nobody wanted remade in a game that wanted to tug at your nostalgia. Regardless of what anyone thinks, the game would have genuinely been better without her.

        The problems start to occur when you try to 100% it. Levels are just way too long for how often they make you play the stages over and over again.
        If you simply play it from start to finish, it's serviceable. No better or worse than Wrath of Cortex if you play this way.

A Crash game didn't need this kind of artificial padding, I can clear Crash 1, 2 or 3 within a few hour maximum, but Crash 4 will take fricking 70 hours or something to clear 100% just because of the N. Verted stages and other bullshit.

        Powerup system is a total downgrade from 3 where instead of your moveset organically expanding across the entire game you have very specific power up suits you can get for a single level speed shoes has been replaced with an obnoxious move meant to mimic being able to slide and spin in crash 2 to go faster but it's way more annoying to do
        No playable world hub

            They've never had to sell anything before.

            They didn't release shit in 2020 to capitalize on the first movie. Just Sega Ages Sonic 2 on Switch and the Olympic phone game. The opportunity cost was massive, now that we have the data on what happens when you do ship games in the same year as a movie.
            Even this year, they don't have shit after releasing proper games in back to back years, so they throw together a Shadow mini game to staple onto Sonic Generations so they're not just standing around with their dicks in their hands when the movie with Shadow is in theaters.

            >They didn't release shit in 2020 to capitalize on the first movie.

        Its a "I believe it when I see it" situation. It does make sense when you think about it. Now that Microsoft owns the IP, TFB can talk directly with them to work on the IPs instead of Activision breathing down their neck and demand to move resources towards COD. The partnership went through if I remembered correctly but do not expect Spyro 4 to come out by next year, ESPECIALLY in TFB's current state.

        Which is pretty hilarious since N. Sane trilogy was made on the fricking Skylander's engines so brand new mod tools had to be made for it, and Crash 8 is Unreal Engine? I think? So ostensibly it'd be way easier to make mods for.

        Battle Network 4 Syndrome.
        Frist three games instill a lot of goodwill into the audinece, so when the fourt entry makes some "big changes" (in Wrath of Cortex's case, multiplatform), it usually ends up being the most successful entry (of that time) in the franchise.
        But then the fourth entry is also very divisive and basically kills all the goodwill the IP built up over the years, and the following entries sell substantially less, even if some of them are better than the fourth one.

        It's a fun game, and most of the issues with it are technical issues that wouldn't bother you if you were actually playing the game.
        Like, there's two actual issues that you don't have to actively go out of your way to make a problem for yourself.
        The massive fricking load times, and how fricking slow the climbing speed is.
        Honestly for a game that had to restart most of it's development 6 months before release because a Universal exec was being moronic, it's legitimately impressive the game isn't actually any more broken.

            Game's dead, Season 4 was meant to be a regular season but it's just a EoS battle pass that lasts for infinity. It contains all the previous BP content and event items. You can't even skip the items you already own. Season 4 was also meant to give us.

              They had a chance to make Crash Bash or least a spiritual successor and cause they got greedy and when no one bit their seasonal BP cause they can't do loot boxes anymore they just folded.

              They didn't release shit in 2020 to capitalize on the first movie. Just Sega Ages Sonic 2 on Switch and the Olympic phone game. The opportunity cost was massive, now that we have the data on what happens when you do ship games in the same year as a movie.
              Even this year, they don't have shit after releasing proper games in back to back years, so they throw together a Shadow mini game to staple onto Sonic Generations so they're not just standing around with their dicks in their hands when the movie with Shadow is in theaters.

        Only frontiers was really successful. Sonic persevered because sega is stubborn and sonic fans are way more autistic about the character than anyone on earth, but those are lackluster numbers for Crash after the complete bangers that were the reignited trilogy and nitro fueled.

            A major chunk of the games aren't playing within the application, instead closing the game and opening standalone releases from Xbox backwards compatibility. It would be a major amount of work, essentially porting about 9 standalone games on top of porting the Rare Replay suite itself.

    CB4 got terrible reviews, and the only thing that's been done with the CB series after it is that shitty party game literally no one asked for.

    Something here's clearly fishy.
    I can't really say that I care though.
    I got the original trilogy, Bash and CTR for the PS1, and I bought the N-Sanity Trilogy too which I'm mostly satisfied with even if some aspects here or there are lacking.
    If I ever decide to play the new CTR everyone wants to see ported to PC I'll just use Ryujinx and a 60fps mod lmao.

    I like Crash 4 but I think my biggest problem with the game, aside how repetitive it is, is that you need a guide to fully complete the levels instead of like- needing to search up only a few times for some secrets. I tried to blindly complete the game but was only able to complete half of it. I think the bosses are a huge downgrade from the trilogy too. Ntrophy didn't even get one despite being the main villain plot

      No TFBshill, it's poorly designed. ONE crate in the whole of Crash 2 was despised since it was hidden off screen, in a bonus round. TFB then added 10-20 of those crates into every single fricking level.
      No one's b***hing about Slippery Climb being hard, no one's b***hing about the full CHC run being hard(just that one box), they're complaining about poorly placed boxes which in a game about destroying boxes is a cardinal sin.

      The slide jump is fricked and completely halts your forward momentum making it unfun to use
      The triple spin just isn't as fun as the crash dash
      All three alternate characters suck to play as in different ways
      Cortex feels like shit because they just slapped a front facing projectile onto a gimped version of Crash's control scheme making it impossible to aim
      His dash feels like shit too
      Dingodile now has a vacuum/leaf blower thing going on now for some reason and just plays like Luigi's Mansion if Luigi was obese
      Has the exact same aiming issues as Cortex whenever you have to shoot a TNT so you just point vaguely in the direction of the target and hope the auto aim decides to work
      Tawna is quite possibly the worst of the lot because she doesn't do anything new, she just controls like a worse version of Crash
      Her wall jump is janky as shit
      Once again the aiming on the grappling hook is shit for those moments when auto aim decides to take a break
      Special mention to the Snaxx dimension's N-Verted stages for making long levels feel even longer by cutting the game's speed down to 1/3 of what it normally is

          Yes for COTR to add Crumb and weird shit like the elephant but IAT content should not be included in NF at all. The TfB designs would clash horribly with how everything in NF is designed with the faithful designs in mind

    That's pretty insane for modern video game standards. I'm glad this news update successfully btfo the obnoxious doomposting surrounding this game's sales. Also the Tony Hawk remasters sold well too and a 3+4 compilation was briefly in the conceptual stages before Activision yanked the project altogether with no explanation why one dev said who worked on the remasters. Executive meddling also hurt Crash in the long run too despite his successes. People need to realize that just because something is successful doesn't mean the same thing as greenlighting the next installment for that thing. Executive meddling, poor scheduling, egos, and other misfortunes can cause entire projects to fall through. Shit happens all the time in the entertainment industry.

        I blame office politics + microsoft mergerbbeing the nail in the coffin for this franchise temporarily. Like Wumpa League/Team Rumble was originally conceptualized as an add-on mode made for Crash 4 but got seperated into its own game only to get briefly canceled then rebooted again to just be live for little almost a year. We could've gotten another Crash or Spyro by this time if it wasn't for morons at the top enabling this. Crash/Spyro will obviously see the light of day again but the question will always be when the time goes comes which is pretty brutal in of itself.

    Its fun. But theres some things fundamentaly flawed with it. I 100% all three Crashs on N sane Trilogy and overall had a good time doing so except for some of the no death color gems in one. 4 i just cant bring myself to 100%. Ever. I finish the game, get all the color gems, get all the costumes I like than Im just burned out and shut the game off and go play literally anything else. For a game that has so much collectables, the process of getting them is miserable. A good looking swing, but a miss.
