CryEngine 2 Turns Crash Bandicoot Into the Stuff of Nightmares

[RikPandachan]

What I wanna know is: why doesn't he get the crystal? That's the point of the game! I realise this is not a playthrough, but still.

It was probably just a non-interactive object at the time the video was made.

Fair enough, it just bugs me to watch people go though a game without actually doing what you're supposed to do. It's like going through Minecraft and not building or mining anything, or going through Borderlands without killing anything or picking up weapons, it's the point of the whole game.

I would not enjoy playing this game.

All the best Crash games were on PS1, the PS2 ones were pretty meh. This one is creepy.

yeah level and backdrop look great but at what cost? Crash look terrifying and bland at the same time. His grey pants blending with the earth tones, his creepy smile taking away his cartoonish appeal. gone are his bright blue pants and red sneakers. realism isn't something this game needs. The crates have lost their lusterous appearance making them seem like terrian not the source of all power. and i'm sorry but a crash game isn't a crash game without funny death animations.

addendum; why does crash's right arm have two elbows? i think thats part of the creepiness his arms are under the uncanny valley.

I recently started a new save with my gf for Crash 2. It still holds up pretty well considering it's a PS1 game that's being played on a 46inch 1080p tv. The jetski controls are still wonky though.

 

[Hunter15]

this seems to be a beta at the moment so it probably wont look like this when/if the game comes out. they catch crash's look in the beta and make it more normal and like the bandicoot we all know and love

 

[Acidwell]

It looks nice yeah but is it just me or does it seem to lag every time he does the spin attack?

The looks are kinda pointless since it was the gameplay that makes the game awesome. I still play warped on ps3 and it is amazing.

Want to see creepy, or just so-bizarre-it's-creepy? Try the Crash Bandicoot L4D campaign.

Also, I'm guessing there has not been a Bandicoot game for PS3 since Naughty Dog is busy making this thing called Uncharted. You may have heard of it.

Also also:
WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOUR FACE!?

 

[punipunipyo]

don't do this... use Unreal Engine, because:

*Cry-physics is screwy. not that UE is any better, but at lease UE don't turn your 60FPS in to sideshow!

*cry engine CAN'T make shit look cartoony, but UE could! (remember Borderlands? Jazz? Dungend defenders?)

*air walk? Cry-engine is sooo proud to make every thing looking "real", yet, when this character (who looked like a man wearing a theme park costume) does a jump, he/she "floats".

*too slow, Crash is supposed to dash around like sonic does, now, it just looked like crash the grandpa.

Did you notice the trap before he fell into it? Shoes nicely how awful the graphic design of most current games is at conveying relevant information to the player as long as the waterfall in the distance looks amazing.

The jungle maps in the original were full of nearly invisible traps too. Which is why everybody preferred the more utilitarian maps back then as well.

 

[Balaxe]

Without the fixed camera it originally had the game looks "broken".

 

[Gralian]

Welcome to the uncanny valley, folks. This is why surreal cartoonism should stay within a cartoon artstyle and not cross over into the real.

 

[Unhappy Crow]

I like the details of N. Sanity Beach. It looks very impressive impressive. Aside from Crash's creepy face and horrendous movement (and he's wearing a backpack, but that doesn't me), it looks great. And I thought it looked cool seeing the shadows from the level HUD when it was brought down.

It makes me imagine seeing the whole game being remade with these graphics.

...

I would buy it day one. I just don't like what happened to Crash Bandicoot today. Tattoos, riding mutants, using combat attack instead of spins and jumps. Yuck.

 

[Belgariontheking1]

Thank you modders for completely destroying the art style of Crash. I mean yeah the background looks nice but they completely killed the cartoony look of the game. Call me enraged.

 

[Dexiro]

Well, it did look nice... Until they started moving. Then it simply became clear that they aren't great at animating 3D models.

Also, no thanks. Crash is right along with Spyro in PS1 franchises that should stay dead now. Neither series were any good after Naughty Dog left Crash and Insomniac left Sypro. And right now, Spyro is suffering (did you guys see that new game with the toys they're making?!) enough for both of them. Let Crash rest in peace, we don't need any more awful games from him.

I don't think those franchises should be abandoned completely, I just wish Insomniac and Naughty Dog would reacquire them.

 

[barbzilla]

I think this is an awesome job for a group of modders, but they should have picked better source material. I vote for a remake of Conker's Bad Fur Day!

 

[lord.jeff]

It looks really good for a project from a group of modders.

 

[EHKOS]

Where can I get this?!!!!
Also they got his gait all wrong, he's supposed to run by swinging his arms and his posture is supposed to be alot better. Still, freaking amazing. I need this. As a fan I need this.

 

[Baron_BJ]

Well, now it looks like a mutant escaped from captivity, and is now running around on an island with a blank, soul-less stare.

Thanks for the nightmares.

Crash Bandicoot LITERALLY is a mutant that escaped from captivity, in fact that's the story behind the very first game.

On topic though, game looked like a bucket of ass.

 

[THE_NAMSU]

Screw this man, the graphics were amazing but I don't care, let there not be a remake of crash if he looks so creepy like that....

But they could make such a great survival horror game.
