36.32 GB, so there's no reason for this to not fit on a single disc aside from the fact that they're rushing this out for the holidays.

Profchaos2408d ago (Edited 2408d ago )

Even then it's just putting data on a disc so I don't get it. I was actually in defense of them previously because I figured there was some legit explanation but not so sure anymore.

Still won't stop me from playing as I'm a huge fan of the games I. Their original form it's just Strange

AnubisG2408d ago (Edited 2408d ago )

The conspiracy theorist in me thinks that this is done on purpose to push people for the digital version. Keep in mind that publishers make more money on digital games and have much, much more control over them in terms of pricing and availability.

anonymousfan2408d ago

Too bad I hate this kind of practice so much I may end up skipping the game altogether or waiting for a deep deep sale/buy used.

rainslacker2408d ago (Edited 2408d ago )

Never know....maybe there's still a day one 10.1 GB patch. Max available data size for BR being 46.6GB. /s

I don't even know if its because they rushed it out the door. I think they just want to control the content.

Either way, no buy from me, until it becomes cheap enough to make it worth it. Shame, because I do enjoy the games.

@profchaos

Why's it so hard to understand? People that are upset want the game to be fully available on disc, so they don't have to worry about one day Activision dropping the updates from the servers, rendering 2 of the 3 games on disc.

It's the principal of the matter, and people don't want to support this notion that digital is completely OK to fall back on when they can't manage to make their products on time, and it's certainly not OK to use as a potential way to control the market with controlling the servers which hold part of the actual game.

Then of course, there are people out there which may not have the best internet, so given how much is likely to needed to be downloaded, especially when it was first announced where the 2nd two games were only digital, it means people buying the game may not even be able to play most of it.

Why do some people feign ignorance as if that somehow dismisses people's actual problems? I never understood that.(Rhethorical question....I actually know the reason why).

And just like that, any defense of Activision goes out the window for this.

MoshA2408d ago (Edited 2408d ago )

As long as they don't f this up in as many ways as they did with Crash
(Input lag, 15 fps animations because of polygon count, weird hitboxes and 30 fps in a tight corridor fast paced platformer) we should be fine. This runs on Unreal Engine 4 which lacks unique art styles but at least is always well optimized. They would have to really go out of their way to make it run at 30 fps and ruin the animations/hitboxes again.

Teflon022408d ago

I'm a crash fanboy to the point I've bought every crash, including the crap ones and finished. Crash is not a fast paced platformer in the slightest. It was originally a ps1 game running 30fps and was made with that in mind. So what you said makes no sense.
Now spyro is also a 30fps ps1 game that had frame drops. I owned all 3 and still have 1 and 3 on disc. They're also made with 30fps in mind. So you need to stop with the nonsense.
The downloading bs is a issue. What you're complaining about isn't

EpicFruityPie2408d ago

crash did it all on one disk I was looking forward to this but forcing the last 2 games as dlc I'm not going to bother surely sale are going to take a hit for this stupid move

IRetrouk2407d ago

All 3 could have fit on a disc activision you shifty f##kers, no buy, and im actually upset, i loved all 3 originals.

Nothing but joy and excellency for us on Gamepass!

Profchaos210d ago

Top of the line remake from 2018 you could have picked up for under 5 bucks.

I'm serious though games awesome and was a highlight in a very packed year but let's not overstate it's value 6 years on.

Lightning77210d ago

I wonder why they're doing slow roll out of ABK stuff? It's been a year I wonder why the slow roll out.

Fishy Fingers210d ago

I'm sure it'll slowly get added. Its constant content they can add and I imagine in the hopes it will get people to maintain their sub. Drop it all in one chunk might boost numbers for a bit but unlikely to keep people long term.

Lightning77210d ago

Similar to Bethesda stuff. They release the full slate on GP and I guess it didn't do as well for them. I'm hoping they're remastering the Marvel Ultimate Alliance games as well as others.

InUrFoxHole210d ago

Never played the series. Gonna give it a go. GP is a great service.

The_Hooligan209d ago

I played the original trilogy on my cousin's PS1 back in the day and they were amazing games. I picked up the remake last year when it was on sale on PSN but haven't gone back yet. But if this is your first time playing it, you will have a great time.

InUrFoxHole208d ago

Jesus. I remember the ps1. I remember being baffled by how something so powerful could fit in that little console lol

DivineHand125210d ago (Edited 210d ago )

Good for persons who are subscribed to the game pass, but will it be 30 fps, or is it getting a boost?

I bought the game on PS4 but stopped because the game offered little to no challenge. I dropped it and picked it up again on PS5 a few months ago. That was when I realized that it was locked to 30 fps and uninstalled it.

It would be great if Microsoft could find some way to release an update to set both Spyro and Crash Team racing to 60 fps and beyond.

Profchaos210d ago (Edited 210d ago )

It seems unlikely that it would get further enhancements at this stage a 2018 release that was already enhanced for the one X native 4k from memory. Also the animation work and motion blur used did slot to make the 30fos gameplay feel responsive and smooth to its credit compared to other 30fps games with significantly worse input lag like yooka laylee which iirc on PS4 pro felt horrible to play with a control delay vs the PC which felt snappy.

If you stopped because of the lack of challenge I don't think 60 will suddenly change the way you play it games extremely simple and was built around a early 3d exploration framework that targeted families so difficulty was quite low

Hasn't this been on gamepass for a while now

*Sigh*

Sometimes it's hard being a Spyro fan. Yeah, i really really really want Spyro 4. Crash Bandicoot got a 4th one, its only fair.

Nothing is guaranteed in this life, so don't wait on anything.
