First Gameplay Trailer Revealed For Crash Bandicoot Remastered Collection
Earlier this year at E3, we found out that Crash Bandicoot was making a comeback in a remastered collection on PS4. Today at PlayStation Experience, we got a glimpse of its first gameplay trailer. The collection, called the N. Sane Trilogy, will include remastered editions of Crash Bandicoot 1, 2, and 3.
The collection is described as a remaster plus, as it will include new features as well. Game director of Vicarious Visions Dan Tanguay explains on the PlayStation blog that these new versions will have unified checkpointing and game save systems, such as both manual and auto saves. It will also have a new pause menu and time trials in all three games.
Tanguay says that, "Using the original level geometry from Naughty Dog as a guide, we rebuilt the Crash gameplay from scratch, capturing its simplicity and precision. As the levels began to take shape, we layered in our own lush and zany art, animation, and audio." All levels, cinematics, and characters were rebuilt based off the original designs.
