Rumor: Crash Bandicoot 4 has over 100 levels

[Lant_War]

Apparently it's from a GameStop email. For comparison, Crash 1 has 26 levels, Crash 2 has 27 and Crash 3 32 (all of this without counting bossfights, which aren't really "levels").

If true, that's a lot of levels and I hope it doesn't overstay its welcome.

 

[Portmanteau]

wowwww. hell yeah.

 

[Skot]

I would prefer 30-40 cohesive levels

 

[HardRojo]

WHAT! I don't mind there being lots of levels, as long as the quality is there. We'll see.

 

[Darkkahn]

Going the Assassins Creed way?

 

[Dreamboum]

but muh sixty dollarydoos???????????????

 

[Caiusto]

So it's a RPG huh.

(sorry)

 

[DetectiveKenobi]

Hmm if they're going to do retcons and stuff I assume they're going to remix some pre-existing levels from the collection.

 

[liquidtmd]

That can't mean what it implies, that's...

I mean I like content, but I'd take 30 well crafted levels as opposed to 100 weaksauce ones

Serious doubt around the odds of 100 well crafted levels

 

[Yautja_Warrior]

That's a lot of levels, hopefully they don't get repetitive.

What about 100 cohesive levels?

 

[ghibli99]

Wonder if that means the levels will be more bite-sized, like side-scrolling Mario stages? I'd be cool with that. By comparison, games like Tropical Freeze and Rayman Origins had like 60 or so levels, many of them IIRC being quite long. I loved those games, but it took me quite a long time (and I had to take some breaks) to go through them.

 

[Sheev]

Probably counting bonus mini-levels, no?

 

[sn00zer]

Ah, so that's how you make a $60 Crash game

 

[Zedark]

Sounds like a lot, we'll see how good they are. What they showed so far looked really good, so let's hope they are all great!

 

[Akalance]

Watch it be 35ish levels that 3-4 playable characters can run through with their own abilities, thus different.

 

[Kaguya]

I'd worry about quality if it really had that many levels.

that's my assumption, they're counting Cortex & Coco playthroughs as their own levels since they are probably a bit different

 

[Deleted member 511]

I'm assuming Coco, Crash, and Cortez probably have their own dedicated levels that you can only use them in like Warped which probably adds to the level count too. Either way, I was buying no matter what.

 

[zoodoo]

Hope not
Long platformers usually overstay their welcome

 

[Deleted member 864]

Hopefully the quality is consistent then, but jeez that's more levels than the original 3 combined.

 

[Banzai]

Probably counting bonus mini-levels, no?

even then you would double the amount from normal games, which would put you at 60. Throw another 5 on top for those secret mini levels and youd have 65. 100+ is still pretty nsane.

 

[shaneo632]

Doesn't really mean much. They could all be 1-2 minutes long.

 

[Spring-Loaded]

MUH

SIXTY

 

[criteriondog]

I hope they're all amazing, varied and super fun!

 

[Deleted member 1589]

I dont see the point of this game if you can't use Tawna.

 

[TameLucas]

That's a lot o.o

 

[MH MD]

Pretty sure that's a misleading number, they probably counting "time trials" versions of levels as different levels for example, remember them using the exact same marketing for the trilogy which is not exactly true

 

[MoonsaultSlayer]

This goes against what Misterbo (Crash fan, youtuber) was hoping for in a video I just watched recently.

 

[Issen]

I hope they're tightly designed. If not, I'd prefer to have fewer levels that are all (or almost all) very good and still pay 60 euros for it.

 

[DieH@rd]

Shame, all I wanted was a simple 12-15 hour AAA game.

/s

 

[Mory Dunz]

that would make sense.

3d world has about 100

 

[L.O.R.D]

i think n coretx has his own levels, so maybe 30-40 levels?

Nah, for NST they counted bosses to get to the 100+ mark. Even if this 100+ is counting bosses, that's still like 80 levels on the game.

It's Crash Bandicoot, beating a 100 levels once (without going for all the collectibles) can't take any longer than that.

 

[Vylder]

Awesome, after the "it's too expensive" crowd we will get the "game is too long" one too.

 

[werezompire]

New Super Mario Bros. U has 82 levels.
Super Mario 3D World has 93 levels.

100 levels in a platformer might be high for a Crash game, but it's not crazy high for a platformer in general.

 

[wrowa]

Playing Nsane Trilogy I was surprised by how much shorter the original Crash games were than I remembered, so I'm not surprised they might increase the number of levels for this one by a lot. I don't think a game like this that you can complete on a casual playthrough in just a handful of hours would really fly these days.

 

[Deleted member 10737]

whoa! how? that's a huge bump from the first three games.

I'd worry about quality if it really had that many levels.

Click to shrink...

same. i can't imagine they can make 100 levels of, say, crash 2 quality.

 

[BrickArts295]

I don't mind getting 5min levels. That's a solid 8-9 hour game right there.

 

[Mobu]

Noooo you cant charge 60 for a platformer!

Noooo you cant add a lot of content to your platformer!

 

[BabyDontHurtMe]

That makes even more impressive that TFB got this game finished in two years.

 

[Hektor]

People worrying about quality like it's hard to make a platformer that is both good and more than 3 hours long

 

[Azaan60]

It says "levels of play", not "levels".

 

[DoradoWinston]

someone is going to calculate how much each type of level is worth and still deduce that the $60 is not worth it

 

[Sid]

Will this have DLC?

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Hopefully none of those has you running towards the camera

 

[Lant_War]

What's the difference? Sorry, I'm not a native speaker and have never heard of levels of play

Hopefully none of those has you running towards the camera

They already showed two of those in the Trailer lol

 

[MH MD]

Nah, for NST they counted bosses to get to the 100+ mark. Even if this 100+ is counting bosses, that's still like 80 levels on the game.

Can still be misleading here, nothing stopping them, the same way you can claim there is 120 stars as levels in mario 64 while the actual stages is like 15 or so , no way it will be +80 full-fledged stages, otherwise they would say so in the first interviews

 

[Hektor]

They literally showed those in the reveal trailer

Thankfully
