I remember using tank controls and playing with joy, even though it sometimes led to frustration. If they improve the controls and make a few quality of life changes, it would be enjoyable to play.

Annddd Jersey Devil!

I've played Croc countless times on my Sega Saturn, this is fantastic news

It's probably going to be shit and look worse than the original, just like the Spyro the Dragon PS1 remakes.

PS1's blocky 3D graphics have a very distinct, cool look to them, unlike N64 graphics, which aged very badly and just look like detailless, blurry 3D graphics from todays perspective - thus having been entirely consumed by 3D graphic evolution.
PS1's graphics, on the other hand, have transcended the evolution of 3D, because their uniqueness has been enough to form, establish and cement an own identiy in the realm of 3D graphic history - to the point, that even TODAY, there are indie games trying to deliberately emulate that distinct PS1 graphics look.

Croc is the first ever game I played when my dad got a computer for us. Game itself wasn't the thing but damn, memory of that childhood gets me bit teary eyed.

I had played croc bit in therapy and it's literally only thing I remember from that therapy. When we got it on our home computer, I used to go to other room when croc booted so it wouldn't hopefully crash. It always did since computer didnt have the latest drivers.

Which isn't much different than the 3DO or Saturn 3D graphics look? How was it unique?

There was a reference to Croc in yooka-laylee, odds on it being a Playtonic remaster?

 

[Ronin_7]

I hated the game but was always playing it... This and Asterix.

 

[Kenneth Haight]

I bought the crash and spyro remasters.

I have a real weird soft spot for croc, I actually played it quite a bit from memory. I remember the little furry gobbos!

I’m in for this if the price is right for a trip down memory lane.

 

[THE DUCK]

Perhaps the Croc remaster will get 60 minutes tomorrow at the show.

 

[SALMORE]

so there is hope for Akuji the heartless

 

[ozz ex machina]

This is embarassing. Remakes have gone too far.

 

[Aldynes]

The OST of the game is absolute gold.

 

[The Infectious Paradox]

God damn it do something with Gex and Tomba!!

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

Meanwhile, Tombas just sitting there untouched

Not anymore!!!

 

[Puscifer]

Not anymore!!!

Aged like wine I can't wait to toss some pigs around!

 

[64bitmodels]

Not anymore!!!

Well, I'm glad for that. Really enjoyed the first 2 for what they were worth, especially the 2nd one with the 2.5d gameplay and great visuals

 

[Operations66]

Croc, schmock. Why is Rayman 2 forgotten? That was the best 3D platformer ever, in my opinion.

 

[Esppiral]

And now Gex, nice to see some love towards old platformers.

 

[SegaManAU]

God damn it do something with Gex and Tomba!!

You spoke it into existence lol

 

[The Infectious Paradox]

You spoke it into existence lol

How so? Wasn't sure if you meant these were announced or if I'm coping. Probably coping lol

 

[SlicedBread3]

How so? Wasn't sure if you meant these were announced or if I'm coping. Probably coping lol

Both just announced today.

 

[The Infectious Paradox]

Both just announced today.

Dude... maybe I was right picking my icon. I really am a fucking wizard.

 

[SegaManAU]

How so? Wasn't sure if you meant these were announced or if I'm coping. Probably coping lol

Just joking around. 2 days ago you said those IP's were just sitting there and then today it was announced they are coming back!

 

[Soodanim]

My first PS1 game. I'll buy this for nostalgia alone. Spyro was very good and Crash was pretty good from what I've seen, so it has potential.

 

[Mephisto40]

Waste of development money

 

[AV]

I'll grab it purely because it was the first PS1 game I owned (and by extension within the first probably 5 games total).

No idea who else it's for though, it's not actually a great game.

 

[Hudo]

I still can’t believe this exists lol

What the fuck

 

[Melter]

but why...? it's only talked about in the conversation of nostalgic PS1 platformers

I played croc on PC as a kid and quite liked it
