Crash Remasters will be completely full-on remade (According to VV)

So basically it's like middle ground of the R&C remake. They're doing the visuals all over but the gameplay and levels will be the same?
Has any media asked how far along they are in development?
If they are actual remakes, and nothing can be imported from the old games (simple geometry or something), then this collection could years away still, or will each game get it's own release?
The lack of details suggest they might not be far into the project.

No shit.
Let me rephrase even though my Ratchet comment should have made it perfectly clear:
Didn't they announce these to be remakes a la Ratchet and Clank like I said? I didn't think this thread was new news at all.
Exactly. "From the ground up" does not mean up-res. It means they're making the games from the ground up. Like Ratchet and Clank.
I swear some people can't read lol.
Vicarious Visions made Crash N-Tranced though?

With them doing three games it's pretty clear it's going to play the exact same but with updated textures / hopefully various other improvements.
My biggest fear was we were just getting the originals similar to the FF7 PC version coming to PS4.

Well, yeah. I'm surprised people thought otherwise.

Thats what Shawn Layden said "From the ground up". I just wonder whose handling it. Seems hard to believe it will be of the caliber as the R&C remake if its Activision handling it..
Either way im just glad hes back and after they do well hopefully we get a new game.

Yes, but you generally don't say "from the ground up" if it's merely a remaster.

I wonder if people will dislike any changes to movements and physics.
coz it's a lot easier sell to agree to remake a game that is proven than put out a game that could suck.

he doesn't actually say "fully remade" though.
Have you seen any Crash game past ND? Nobody seems to know how to make Crash-style platformers.

Yep, it makes it impossible to really tell how extensive the work will be. You see that with Modern Warfare as well. That's not a remaster and yet it's called Modenr Warfare Remastered. Just look at it
That's a full on remake.

For those still confused on what this means, think of it like this:

They could've just been referencing Drake
Hahahahahaha.
I know why people are cautious but I think we're safe here. I agree using the title "remaster" is confusing, but what can we do?
Yeah. After playing Crash 1, I've realised that Crash controls like 8-bit Mega Man in that game. There's no momentum to the jumping or running, so a jump taken from a standing position is the same as a jump taken from a jogging state. The game is designed around that.
For people worried about the remakes/remasters, Vicarious Visions did a lot of great work over the years.
They produced a number of Crash Bandicoot titles from 2002-2004 including the following:
Continuing talking about CNK, they made a GBA version of the game that was very feature-complete compared to the console versions. Despite being on far weaker hardware, the full adventure mode (with a map to drive around), the drifting/boosting working like the console versions and visuals that were very impressive at the time.
The N-Gage version of the title is a hyrbid of the two versions and is a solid game too.
Their last set of Crash games were 2D GBA platformers, with Crash Purple being a mini game collection that crosses-over with the Spyro series. While Crash Purple has issues, the two platformer GBA games they made were damn solid and honored the Naughty Dog games with much respect.
Vicarious Visions also produced the best Skylanders games, with Swap Force being the one that expands the series a lot with more platforming elements and a significant presentational boost while SuperChargers is closer to a normal character/mascot platformer in many cases.
They are a great studio and are a perfect fit for Crash.

They've been around since the mid-late '90s and have developed a lot of games that rage from good to not good. They currently develop a lot of the Skylanders related games for Activision and have developed a few original Crash games for the GBA and gen six consoles in the past too. They are currently making Skyladers Crash as well as the remakes. I guess they could be looked at as the Crash "B" Team given their history. But that might not be a bad thing.

Cautiously optimistic about this.
When is it gonna be released? Hope it's not in 2018...

Sony and Activision said 2017, so likely sometime early in the year. Or later, depending if they give us a release date later this year.
I wonder if they'll change the feel of the vehicles in Crash 3.

Perhaps he's wondering why someone would shoot a man before throwing him out of a plane.
Nah, the first two games could have really benefited from analog control.
EDIT: Also, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, CHANGE THE CONTROL FOR THE JET-PACK IN CRASH 2
The games hold up great. I replay Warped every few years and the game is still fantastic. If they were going to spend time remaking a Crash game they should have done CTR.

No way it takes more than a year. Extremely small linear levels with plenty of recycled assets.

That would be great, though the motorcycle controls were alright.
But anything that improves those would be great

Same. They need to do what Microsoft did with the Halo remaster: have a second engine running in parallel to the original one, with the purpose of displaying different graphics.

Vicarious Visions is a terrific developer, no need to worry IMO

In Vicarious Visions we trust then! Very good news that this is a remake, not a remaster.

Ehhh hope not. The controls still hold up pretty well and are integral to what made them great games.
I would murder someone for a remake of Crash Team Racing, or just a new one in general.

Eh, that's unfair. These guys seem to get it for the most part. They've been going back to Willy Wombat concept art, even.
That character model is so fucking weird, I have 3 different reactions to all 3 of his poses and the face he makes.
The first pose is sorta like classic Crash, the second is just terrible, and the last is pure Crash Bandicoot. Maybe it's just the fact that I only knew his polygonal PS1 model.

That character model is likely identical to how Crash looks in the remasters, so get used to it I guess
That game's why they didn't go with that name IIRC.
