also the 3D depth perception is pretty shit with that camera angle, i think 2 and 3 tried to fix that a bit by elevating the camera a bit and also moderating the difficulty level a bit to make it less bullshit, the 2D sections are ok tho

It's really not that hard. I swear a lot of people's problems would be solved if they knew/remembered that holding the jump button when you bounce on an enemy or object makes you go further. Like in slippery climb with the birds. You mention the remake and depth perception, but you should know (if you're judging based on N-Sane) the jumping physics there were definitely not identical to the PS1 original. N Sane had a tendency to slide you off edges.

I've never associated Crash fans with Eurofags, just kids and nostalgic retards. I'm Canadian and I know it was advertised on TV like crazy here and in the U.S., and pushed in the ad pages of game magazines, so I doubt it was unpopular in North America.

Not a great series, though. Not at all. I'd take the Jumping Flash games over it in a second. Those games while not amazing either are at least nice to look at and interesting. And if you expand to 2.5D PS1 platformers there's Klonoa, which is an excellent game.

Crash was the PS1's Sonic; heavily marketed, aimed at and embraced by kids, and of dubious quality, and now only really loved by those who played it as kids; except that, unlike the best 16-bit Sonic games, it's visually unappealing and it never approached the level of a game like Sonic 2.

Suggesting that it's as good, as popular, or will be considered as classic in 20 years as something like Mario 64--even in Europe--seems ridiculous, but maybe I'm wrong; I'm not Euro.

It depends on where you're setting the bar. 1, CD, and 3 are fine in the grand scheme of all platformers, but if you compare them to something like the classic Mega Man series, the classic Castlevania, or the NES/SNES Mario games, they're a joke. 2 is the only one that even belongs in the conversation. I'd take any of them over any Crash game though.

Naughty Dog made the right decision to finally move to producing glorified interactive movies with realistic styled characters. The Jak and Crash series made it obvious that they've never had any talent for mechanics or character design.

You've fucked up on the causal connection. 3D platforming is a genre that almost no games have done well, and the gap between the best examples and the average examples, unlike in almost every other genre, is massive. It's nothing to do with Nintendo allegiance. I didn't own an N64 until after I had a PS2. My console during that gen was PS1, which was and is one of the best consoles of all time, but Nintendo just shits all over just about every other studio that's tried that genre.

Banjo? Fine I guess taken in isolation--shit characters and absence of good platforming aside--but compared to Mario 64 it's a joke. What else is there? 3D Sonic? Shit. Crash? Jak? Sly? Spyro? Not offensively awful, but not great. Rayman? Conker? Same deal. Mirror's Edge was an interesting experiment. Some people praised that indie with the dumb tophat bitch when it came out. No weight, no momentum, generic Euro art, a nothing soundtrack. And where is it now?

Odyssey was a major improvement from the regressions that were Galaxy and 3D World, but even Nintendo hasn't been able to match their first effort. It's not fanboyism, it's the nature of the genre. It's deceptively difficult to do well.

[Anonymous No.5803295]

"Crash is bad" in platformer discussion is the equivalent of "Only open world games are good" in general game discussion.

Yeah it's linear and focused. And that's one reason why it's one of the most solid game trilogies of the 5th generation. If the age meme was real, Crash would probably be the least affected 3D game of the entire gen (excluding 1's saving and no analog support).

It's just that no one irons out the kinks. Yooka-Laylee suffered from large expanses of emptiness and A Hat In Time was its own beast but considering you downed it you probably don't know its strengths and weaknesses personally. Galaxy and 3D World also did their own thing, Nintendo hasn't really been back to making it perfect. Odyssey was great for what it was but I agree that the art style wasn't consistent and it played more like Toads Treasure Tracker more than a 3D collectathon platformer.
But hey your assessment wasn't too bad.

>>5803297
>It's just that no one irons out the kinks.
Fixing Mario 64's camera would be a case of ironing out the kinks. Almost every other 3D platformer fucks up, at least, the fundamental feeling of physics/movement. That old Miyamoto comment about nailing the feeling of having a character run around before moving onto anything else is not just a meme, I think it's the essential issue of the genre. It's what separates bad from good and good from great. It's something like the platformer version of the sensation of firing weapons in an FPS--when they get the sound and muzzle flash and spread and impact right it makes all the difference to the game as a whole. Sunshine and Odyssey got close enough to be almost tragic.

Which is why Banjo-Kazooie is an amazing game, it does that all correctly.
>Sunshine and Odyssey got close enough to be almost tragic.
It's not just close it's perfect in that area, it just fails to give environments to explore, but that's just it, they're at their core not collectathon action adventures in the vein of BK or SM64. This is the true tragedy, that Odyssey as a call back was so damn close to nailing that but fails to give the same challenges to the main collectible, mostly leaving them lay about for you to explore the environment.
>More like permadeath. I was blanking on the name; history's going to fully blank on the game if it hasn't already.
Not really it was universally praised but like all games once they hit critical acclaim they slink away into the history books. But I'm willing to bet their core audience is ready for more every few years just like in the movie industry, everything has a time and place to really be appreciated. I just hope no one abandons the genre forever because that would be the greatest tragedy.

The game takes a bit of getting used to but it's a great platformers with graphics that still hold up well today and actually rival the ones on the remake.

Spyro and BK are primarily collectathons with very little platforming or precision movement requirement from players. Gex 2 and SM64 are collectathons, but both have many sections that require precision platforming, often under pressure from timers, and both require going through a level multiple times to complete them. I don't even know what I'd compare Crash to on the N64 side of things.
