Crash Bandicoot PS One vs PS4 Graphics Comparison

So this is what the fans were waiting for. Crash is back and will be released again later in 2017. In the meantime let’s have a look at how the game graphics have changed, and how much of the…

[naruga]

the amount of work especially on art is obvious ...the original is extremely well done , polished and rich while Remake is like a modder s try in Unreal engine....Damn you Sony Crash deserved better ...

[Nitrowolf2]

I think it looks decent I mean it's definitely a lot more than I actually expected them to do but at the same time you're right.

It has this odd look to it butt it is a remastered after all.

Man if naughty dog won't do another crash game the only real people I can really see doing Justice for it is insomniac too bad they're working on Spider-Man which is also going to be great hopefully

[Gazondaily]

Could look better tbh but still a great package

[Krangs_Uncle]

You don't seem to get it and are sounding repeatedly rather entitled.. This is a remaster of classic games, you will see a completely new Crash from the ground up if support is given for this by consumers.

I also happen to think it looks good, the B-roll footage is much better.

[bouzebbal]

I came to write the same. Good post

[LemyAtom]

Fingers crossed. Would love to see a Spyro trilogy remaster too. And Omega Collection looks great. Can someone clear this up - I assume Sony has had to have bought the license for Crash back? Or are they allowed to do the remasters as they own rights to the individual trilogy?

[cyckiewicz]

I liked Crash desing from Crash Bandicoot 3 better than this shown here.

[ThatGuyDart]

1) It looks awesome

2) Sony probably had their hands tied with how much they could do, the studio doing this is owned by Activision.

3) Stop whining. Buy this because I am 1000% sure both Sony and Activision are monitoring the sales of this collection. If it does sell well you will def get more Crash Bandicoot in the future.

[zombiewombie]

You should try playing it before talking smack. Game feels and plays like the classic. Looks awesome too.

[zombiewombie]

@shyronnie Correct. Played it on the showfloor yesterday.

[trooper_]

You got owned shyronnie.

[AnubisG]

What are you talking about? They did an amazing job!

[TheFirstClassic]

I sort of agree on crash's character model and face animations but the environments and gameplay looks fine.

[MyDietEqualsGames]

You mean Crash deserved to stay in the abyss? I am glad we're even getting a Crash game for the current gen that isn't a pile of steaming dino dung, let alone a freaking trilogy.

Crash is getting more than a remastered treatment. They've kept all the core stuff. That's enough for me.

[0Day]

Who's your dealer? Because that's some good shit your smoking

[XanderZane]

It looks good for what it's worth. I'll still pick it up and give it a run through. I hope they tighten the controls a bit. The first game the controls were a bit loose. Still great games that fans will never forget.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

Were you expecting like a photorealistic bandicoot running around smashing boxes or something?

[llMurcielagoll]

Agreed the attention to detail in the original is much better than the remaster. Goes to show that there is no excuse that developers could do better.

I'd still buy it though. I am not going to prevent myself to re-live the best moments in gaming during my childhood.

[DigitalCentralMedia]

Really looking forward to this!!

[Epicor]

Me too! But...

I'm an old school crash fan. I've owned every game in the series. Here's my take on this: This remake seems to be respecting the originals which is amazing news. The gameplay looks identical which is good. But the visual presentation, and don't get me wrong, while being an enormous step up from PS one era, the visuals still dont't really match today's standards in my opinion. ND would't have settled with those visuals. I mean cmon look at the textures. Hd but still really plain and lacking all the details. Sadly this seems as a cheap fan service.

If you are satisfied then good on you. Personally I was expecting a bit more. But it's Activision. At least they didnt't change the gameplay or level design so I guess it's a partial win. I might still get this.

[Newmanator]

The only part I cringed at was the boulder - less texture than the original boulder!

[sonerone]

Hardly see any difference...

[Gaming_Cousin]

This is such a failed trolling attempt lol

[StormLegend]

Let me buy you some glasses..

[UCForce]

"Sigh"

[AnubisG]

Than you need to go to the eye doctor my friend. There are serious issues with your vision.

[Rimeskeem]

Then you are blind

[2600Thunder]

He is clearly joking because if he isn't then the DMV should be notified.

[Inzo]

Might I suggest you get a new screen, those old tube screens just dont cut it anymore.

[pcz]

Its shockingly bad. Almost pointless. Anyone who says otherwise is deluded.

Completely wasted opportunity

[BIGBOSS08]

did you jizz into your own eyes?

[Summons75]

Who is genuinely surprised that Activision pulled this off without their money hungry tactics like they do with every single on of their games or do that laziest work on it because it's not call of duty?

[AnubisG]

They did this because they believed it can make them money. They have seen that there was a demand and they are creating the supply. If this is successful, be prepared for new Crash Bandicoot games. Simple as that.

[Summons75]

They have a chance to make money with any game they make, but they treat anything that isn't COD or Blizzard like complete sh**. That's not an excuse for Activision. People have begged for a Crash remake for years and they now just realize it's an opportunity? Nope, Sony probably slapped some sense into them and is watching their every movement with this title to make sure Crash doesn't turn into an abomination Spyro turned into with Skylanders.

[AnubisG]

@Summons75

The reason why they are doing this now is because hype for a crash bandicoot remake has peaked in recent years. It needed to build up and now it did to a point where they noticed. I think that is all. Both Sony and Activision noticed recently. I think this has been in the works for at least 2-3 years at least.

[rezzah]

The mentality of Activision is least amount of work for best possible profit, COD might be excluded from this.

[Newmanator]

I hope they tack on Crash Team Racing as a preorder like MW!

[GoldPunch-TR]

Apple's are more greenish

[Majin-vegeta]

Those aren't apples...

[Pedantic91]

From what i can tell by seeing, it plays mechanically the same.

Graphically though, im not too bothered. I mean, were you expecting some super high-end remake ?

It may seem low budget, but it makes sense if you think about it. This mostly appeals to PS1 fans (like me). The younger ones, the current mainstream, who probably never heard/played a crash game before will probably think it looks average and/or bland.

[AnubisG]

They think it looks average yet they eat up 8bit indie games like candy and think it's the best thing in the world because "so retro bro".

I think it looks amazing.

[MyDietEqualsGames]

Let those kids play something along the lines of Deadly Towers with no guides, if they want to retbro.

[Epicor]

U remember when Crash first came out? Back in the days it was graphically one of the most impressive games out there. Not the same case with this one. I would have loved a bit more details personally. But i love the fact they didn't mess the gameplay. If this sells fine then there surely will be a new Crash came but I'm not too hyped about that one because of Activision...

[bouzebbal]

no better way to show this legendary saga to our kids.
i fully agree.

[WheatBread]

DAY ONE PURCHASE

[Scatpants]

What an overrated game.

[UCForce]

Nope.

[343_Guilty_Spark]

Not at all

[AnubisG]

Yeah, NO. It's an amazing game.

[AcidDvl]

Overrated game with old mechanics. People are just nostalgic that's it. This is coming from a big Naughty Dog fan. They started to make a difference mainly with the advances in motion capture and video game story telling in Uncharted 1. Although Jack and Dexter was pretty good. Crash too for the time, but it wasn't old very well mechanically.

[DashArrivals]

That's why it's just a remaster of an OLD game. This trilogy was brought back FOR THE FANS. It's not supposed to be a new game. The fans wanted this and now we have it. Enough said.

[AcidDvl]

I didn't say that, it's great that they're doing for fans, no doubt. It's just that the game is not as amazing as everyone makes it.

[DashArrivals]

Hey kid, the adults are talking here. Go to your safe space and get someone to give you a back rub and tell you that everything will be ok.

[1Victor]

What a overrated self comment we know you scatpants when you see epic games like crash coming back to smack you in the back of the head for leaving stupid comments like that

[100_SavAGe]

Try harder you will live longer

[2600Thunder]

People who say edgy comments like this about popular old games were clearly not heavily gaming when games like these released with back in the day. Reception was incredible. Nothing like these old "game changing" games were around back then which is why they are revered. Crash played like a dream. Same with FF7 and tons of others people say are overrated. So go eat a fly!

[Sm3000]

I don't see any difference, which one is the ps4?

[gbsrnctaln]

Playing this game again in Uncharted 4 felt awful.

[AnubisG]

Phenomenal job on this one. Hats off! Will get this day one. I still play the original Crash games from time to time. I feel like playing it now so I will do that today. Crash Bandicoot Warped, here I come! :)

[343_Guilty_Spark]

Day 1

[feraldrgn]

I wonder if Naughty Dog will see this & get any ideas on how to transition Jak & Daxter to next gen?
A new Jak & Daxter would be awesome honestly.

[DashArrivals]

ND will never work on a J&D game ever again

[Darkwatchman]

Naughty Dog has transitioned into a "mature" studio. They're too "mature" for cartoony games like that with the people they have working there now at the ages they're at. The Naughty Dog of old is not the same Naughty Dog now, which is why there has been such a dramatic tonal shift in the kinds of games they make.

[ShantaeVR]

Love them both

[TheColbertinator]

They look about the same. All that PS4 supposed power and it can barely match the PS1. Shame.

[DashArrivals]

Barely? It's just a basic remaster of an old game. They did it for the fans. It's not supposed to be a new game or look like a new game. How can people not see this. Honestly, how old are you?

[XStation4pio_Pro]

It looks nice but I was expecting a much more dramatic difference. Feels like they are holding back on the PS4 version. The graphics and assets are obviously more and better but they could have taken it way further. Volumetric atmospherics, interactive lighting, higher poly models etc, GI, particles etc...

[DashArrivals]

Of course they are holding back. It's just a basic remaster. They brought this trilogy back for the fans who asked for it. They want it to be very similar to the old game. This is not a remake.

[trooper_]

What do you mean by a dramatic difference? It's a remaster of an old game. What, you expected Crash to be dressed in Opera clothes? Did you expect realistic graphics?

Just stop.

[pyroxxx]

They really nailed the feel of Crash game,.. it seams they went really respectful to the source material same shitty fov etc,.. that made the game actually challenging,.. everything is there ,.. This will play amazingly. Really love how they did not go bananas on polygon count,.. feels like crash but really pretty.

[Hardiman]

For some reason I never played this series. I loved the PSX but I never got around to playing this or Final Fantasy VII so I'm really looking forward to these remakes!

[Harkins1721]

Holy shit people. Just be friggen happy we have this chance to play the 3 original games in a fresh coat of paint with updated mechanics that stays 95% true to the original.

[S-Word]

PS1 version looks better (and sounds better).

[DashArrivals]

No... no it doesn't.

[gamerswin24]

During the whole presentation I was smiling ear to ear. Idk what others are talking about but the upgrade looks great to me. I can't wait to relive some good memories :)

[Sarcasm]

The PS4 Pro version definitely looks slightly sharper, but has some artifacts. I imagine it's because of the checkerboarding. The Xbox Scorpio version is going to run in native 8K.

[Drithe]

I think it could look 1000 times better. This is a fast cash grabber here. I would only pay 5 bucks for it.

[rye74]

This is a complete disgrace! Sony your loosing gamers goodwill and MS is earning it.

[moegooner88]

Try again.

[2600Thunder]

As long as the gameplay feels the same with a smooth/high refresh rate for fluid input responses/panning. Crash has some high paced action so although I think this should be standard on every game without question, this one needs 60fps. Looks like it does so I am happy.

[PizzaSteve]

It looks great. What I expected but I would've liked Insomniac to do the remake but they doing Spider Man. Vicarious Visions is doing a great job.

[Inzo]

Cant wait for this, it was true gaming at its best and I am going to enjoy every minute of it when it releases.

[Mr_Luke]

Great!!!! I was really looking for this game/trilogy. Hope that Activision won't screw up with somsething, who knows.... i love Crash games :D

[PiperMCFierceson]

Looks like a vita title.

[Profchaos]

I'm really excited for this but even more excited that this now opens the door for a spyro trilogy remaster (Activision still hold the rights after all)

[SideNote]

And the original Xbox version had fur. Just lol.

[BIGBOSS08]

seems to be alot of insecure xbox fanboys here.. the diversity of sony's lineup must be killing them with jealousy.

[GamePeace]

Both look good, but they have to be really careful with this one ...
