The team is also behind games like Skylanders, Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, and more.
This is GREAT news. This means they can focus on making great original games and not be dragged into working on call of duty. Please just give me a new Spyro.
The Crash remake is definitely an improvement for the first game as it lacked analogue support. The others, at least as a lifelong fan, bit of a mixed bag. Good and well done, but I prefer the PS1 version of the second two games. The physics are less precise in the remakes and the graphical and musical changes give it a worse atmosphere for me. But for a newbie, they’re still great.
I don’t have the Crash remaster, so I don’t know. I also haven’t played the original Crash games before Revenge of Cortex, so I wouldn’t have any reference as to how good they are compared to the original.
Hell, I only have reference to how good the Reignited Trilogy is to Year of the Dragon since that’s the first Spyro game I ever played.
I also have never played Age of Empires, so I’ll take your word on that one.
Gateway to Glimmer was the one I owned as a kid, playing a bunch of 1 at a friend’s house and renting 3 a few times from the video rental store. I had really fond memories of the unique mechanics in 3 and was very excited to see the game remastered so I could finally sit down and play through the whole thing in one relatively short amount of time.
I don’t have a strong memory of the original, and I haven’t actually played the remaster, but was the Crash remaster not also good?
I would definitely add the Age of Empires Definitive Editions to that list, too. 2 and 3, at least. And fingers crossed for Age of Mythology Retold.
