I think it'd be nice to see some skins based on early concept art or different boss appearances in different games.
etc. etc.

Someone playing Crash Cove, says it feels spot on (makes me more jealous of people who tried it)

I asked the OP what they thought the framerate was, given that it's running on a PS4 Pro. Their response:
4k 60fps on the Pro sounds too good to be true (I can't think of any game that hits 4k 60fps on Pro with this level of visual fidelity), so I remain skeptical. 1080p 60fps would be nice enough alone.
I love how they added an echo effect to Crash's voice when he's inside the temple at 0:42.
Unnecessary yet awesome little detail that enhances the game experience.
The only PS4 exclusive content we know (so far) are the retro track and the retro skins for Crash, Coco and Cortex.
The electron skins for the same characters are a preorder bonus but those are for all the platforms, not just PS4.
The Nitros Oxide Edition will also have its own exclusive skins, Nitros Oxide unlocked out of the gate and digital content (still unannounced afaik) but it's fair to assume it'll be available at the very least for PS4 and Xbox.
Ah, really? That's kind of annoying, I want to unlock Oxide legitimately but I don't want to miss out on some skins. I'll wait and see what they look like.
you code just not download the codes then, wait until you unlock him normally then download the codes for the skins
Nope, they have not been shown off yet. (People might confuse them for the Electron Skins, which are a preorder bonus for all platforms)
Does it really? This source said that it was 30fps on the Pro and X consoles.

I feel like if the game did run at 60 on Pro/X Activision would've just said so by now.
Unfortunately, I'll assume no. Would love to be wrong though.
Looks real good. My only minor nitpick is that the secret shortcut lacks the contrasting warmth it had in the original.
Maybe it's just the off-screen footage or the older build, but the tunnel looks like it's mostly lit by moonlight.
Overall, I really like it though. Additions like the tigers on the bridges make it feel like a theme park ride.
You have to hit it with a weapon of some sort to get the door to open. The first time he lobbed a potion at it. I don't think TNT works unless you maybe explode while rubbing up against the door. But then you're flipping around and it might close before you recover.
Pretty sure that kind of jumps (and that one in particular) was possible in the original game as well.
I THINK this might be Tiny Temple from Nitro Kart. It'll be interesting to see how the track looks now that they're ditching the anti-grav stuff.
You're being overly harsh on the N. Sane Trilogy. It had a much lower budget than Nitro Fueled (since to Activision it was a risky venture at the time), and a much larger amount of content to remake across three games (100+ stages/9 gameplay styles/100's of enemy models, etc). Even with all of that working against them, they still managed to remake the hidden stage in Crash 1, added Coco as a playable character across all three games, added Sapphire, Gold, and Platinum Time Trials for Crash 1+2, Leaderboards for said Time Trials across all three games and a free brand new stage.
Vicarious Vision really poured a lot of love with the limited budget they had, and it shows. Gamers can really be so thankless sometimes.
Nothing outside of the reveal trailer and a pic the official twitter account posted a while ago (where you couldn't see much tbqh)
Hopefully we get a full info blowout next month.
so eb game aus leaked the final box art
better then the older one that is for sure

agreed, i didn't like the tongue sticking out. still not that good tho.
Coco has that 'ive got a nitro crate with your name on it' smirk
i don't get the purpose of the blue bars on the cover? is it to represent speed? it makes it look like they're racing on a water slide.
I would place the blame (and it does suck, but at least with the final cover arts, I see that they're trying) on Activision relying on the agency that also gave us the Sonic Movie art... which you know, totally not hideous and cheap looking 😅
GodDAMN. Boy, does that contextualize things a lot more, LOL. Their rendering style strongly exudes that... low-quality, pillow shaded, direct-to-DVD look. It's... it's not good for official boxarts. ;_;
exactly, i'm quite sure of the game's quality but the box art has a bit of a shovelware look to it, which is a shame.
I liked the placeholder one more, frankly. The placement of Crash, Cortex and Coco was evoquing a lot the original CTR cover (at least the North American one). But I can live with that final one ^^"
You guys need to stop bumping this thread. The more I read, the more I need this game in my life right now.
I've never been a fan of the art style of these new Crash covers/key art. There's a dimension missing from the faux-CG look of the older covers, and I was hoping that the new games would inherit a more modern looking version of those.
Same sentiments.
The new artwork gives off some weird "low budget direct to video art" vibe you see on Disney DVDs and stuff.
