man croc to me is the most completely neutral game ever made. is it bad? no, but is it great? also no. are the graphics bad? nope, but are they great? nah. are the controls bad? nahhh, not great though. literally all other games are either better or worse than croc. it has truly unrivalled in its neutrality.

The first game was decent enough as a third party platformer but honestly I think Croc was just an appealing mascot character. Like if you had a scale of mascot appeal, and Sonic/Mario/Crash were a 10, and like Ty/Vexx/JazzJackrabbit were a 0, Croc would definitely be a 7 maybe even an 8.

There was definitely potential for a series there but they just didn't really have good ideas for sequels.

Seems like the janny went a little crazy on this thread

>>9378535
Now maybe this would be justified if Croc was a native PC game that had become unplayable for years but the reality is that Croc is first and foremost a Playstation game that got shitty inferior ports(PC included) meaning the actual definitive version has been fully playable on emulators for decades. So yeah, the audacity of a fan to take a shitty port, slap some filters, lighting effects and stretch it to widescreen when it was never meant to be seen that way and try to pass it off as the de facto definitive version of the game is a fucking travesty.
Just one quick look at this """"enhanced"""" version, in the opening cinematic, for a good 5 seconds you see the bird completely frozen because it was obviously supposed to be offscreen before actually appearing and gobbos in the corners freezing right after when they were supposed to be frantically running away:

The original game does this too.
What it DOESN'T do is support aspect ratios that aren't 4:3. If you want widescreen of any kind, you need to open the executable in a hex editor and change a string.

I'm confused as to what your actual complaint is.

Lol yeah looking back this is a pretty accurate sentiment. Croc was literally the very first PS1 game my mom bought me along with the console, but I distinctly remember wanting it because I played a demo of it at a friend’s house and enjoyed it more than any other PS1 game I’d seen at the time. Also, I was 7 at the time.

Some old games from that era are hurt by even 16:9 patches. 21:9 is kinda pushing it. However pretty much all 3D games benefit greatly from 16:9. 2D is another story.

When i played Crash remakes some parts that i hated as a child were fixed by 16:9.
So even tough what you're saying is correct, i most likely would prefer a game like this on widescreen. In fact most likely anything other than RPGs.

Also i'm guessing you're only issue is aspect ratio? You can create custom resolutions using you GPUcontrol panel. 1440x1080 for 4:3 aspect ratio. Also you can use reshade for low resolution/crt shader.

>> No.9387179

>>9387043
Nta anon but resolution aside this is still going off the shitty PC port, I believe this version at least give you the ability to switch to the unbutchered playstation music but you still see cracks from the inferior port with things like the different loading screens or the changed UI (for example in the playstation original when you get the colored crystals it shows flashing spinning models of them while in the PC version it's just a jarring static sprites)
Point being that it sure as fuck isn't a "definitive version" which is what it's called and being promoted as
