Lore at the time of Crash 2's release was that she ended up cucking him for Pinstripe. Not sure if it's still canon now.

The real reason is that the developers lost interest in Tawna after they forced to tone down her finalized design in Crash 1 and had no use for her in the sequels.

Well, Crash Bandicoot was a big hit for the PlayStation, but some guys at Sony were concerned with the idea that family audiences would not like her. So, for the next game Tawna was out, and was replaced with a more family friendly little sister character. It's not really an epic story, publishers just didn't like her and the devs just immediately moved on. However, it was quite a strange move, considering that PlayStation definitely did not shy away from having mature games. In fact, it's probably reasonable to assume that the PS1's biggest selling games in 1996 was Resident Evil, Tomb Raider, and Crash Bandicoot. Maybe they wanted something kid friendly to fall back on, just in case?

Not for the PC versions. The original PC Max Payne was released on a single CD ROM disc, and I think the overall install size was like 800+ MB. Max Payne 2 for the PC was released on two discs, it came with an "install" disc as well as a "play" disc.

Oh, I see. The home console port of Max Payne 2 is quite a bit different from the PC version though. Max Payne 2 was ported to home consoles, using the Criterion Renderware engine. While the PC game uses Remedy's own MaxFX engine. The PC version has a lot of the same textures reused from Max Payne 1, but MP2 also has a lot of enhanced features over the first game. The PC install of MP2 is about 1,6GB (I think), MP1 for the PC is over 800MB.

I want to add that Max Payne 1 for the PS2 has additional FMV not found in the PC game. The only FMV in the PC game is a low res video that plays at the start. Take a look at the end credits of the PS2 game:

I think the limited game size that the N64 had is one of the big reasons why the PS1 won so much. The N64 had basically nothing in terms of size. Mario 64 is only twice the size of a 2D SNES game like Donkey Kong Country, which is incredible to think about. The PS1 simply offered developers so much more. The fact that Nintendo EAD and Rare even managed to make several good games with the hardware is worthy of applause. The only real advantage that the Nintendo 64 has is memory, but it means way less when you don't have much to use with it. Of course, the best Nintendo 64 games were very tight in terms of size, because they had to be.

There's a series of docs from ars technica, war stories I think. All on youtube. One was for Crash.

They basically deleted Sony's shitty libraries during execution to replace with their own.

Also file size could have been down to duplivated data to improve read speeds. Would have been easier than figuring out compression.

Well going from actual beep boop to cd quality (well, mostly) sound was a HUGE leap for vidya given it is both a visual and audio media. Honestly sound hasn't had a huge leap in 20 years because all the technology pushing it has been killed (EAX and trueaudio stand out). When ray traced audio becomes mainstream things will leap again. It is so easy to forgot how critical good sound is for games and there has been a noticeable decline in audio quality in the last 5-10 years. My theory is because the majority of gaming is done on 10w TV speakers there just isn't a focus on sound because the players aren't going to hear it anyway.

>The home console port of Max Payne 2 is quite a bit different from the PC version though. Max Payne 2 was ported to home consoles, using the Criterion Renderware engine.

Max Payne was originally developed for the PC, the engine was used in the earliest Futuremark benchmarks. It is the best looking due to its high resolution textures, and maps are also bigger, plus the game can be played at higher resolutions at a stable 60fps. I think the dev teams for the console versions ported the MaxFX engine to those systems. Max payne 2 uses a later version of the MaxFX engine for PC, which supports DX9, has havok physics and other enhancements over the MP1 engine. But Rockstar bought the franchise before the release of Max Payne 2 from 3DR and Remedy. Maybe Rockstar didn't want to license MaxFX from remedy and port it, so they used Renderware, like they used Renderware for every game. They did a good job replicating the look. But PS2 port didn't get the best of reviews.

With the original I guess you get to enjoy a pure and complete product that isn't bloated full of predatory microtransactions and carrot-on-stick cosmetic collecting.

The core gameplay is pretty much the same between the original and the remake though so unless you're dlc-intolerant like I am there really isn't much reason other reason to hate the remake.

That's true and I do think that matters
Kind of a similar case with THPS 1+2, not really microtransactions but that gay fucking thing where they add an unnecessary EXP bar to every game these days. THPS 1+2 is still my favorite Tony Hawk but I wish they didn't have to resort to blatant normalfag-skinner box shit.

Super Mario Bros is 32KB, which is smaller than most screenshot images you can find of the game.

It's a very small amount of code, and NES tiles only need to work with 2-bits of color variance, meaning this entire pattern table of 512 8x8 tiles is 8KB on cartridge.

I forgot to add that this was a proposed intro and ending for the game. But was rejected, because Sony wanted all the cut scenes to be polygonal to showcase the PS1. I look at that animation, and it looks like it was made by most of the key people who worked on Taz Mania. Like, the same animation style, though maybe a cheaper production.

Looking at the intro, and the fact that Taz-Mania wrapped up production in 1994-1995, it seems like people from this team produced that animation for the game. Also, the voice singing the Crash Bandicoot theme song is obviously that of Jim Cummings. Jim Cummings was the voice of Taz and other characters in Taz-Mania.

>My theory is because the majority of gaming is done on 10w TV speakers there just isn't a focus on sound because the players aren't going to hear it anyways.
Agreed. I honestly don't know how people cope with stock TV speakers. Even the older ones on CRTs were better because they didn't have to fit into this dumb "everything has to be less than 2 inches thick" bullshit where the speakers now point downwards or even backwards so it needs to reflect off a surface to get to you.

Sorry for turning this into a thread about this intro. But that is quite the castle design. I really do believe that this was outsourced to the same animation production team that did Taz-Mania for WB.
