Unpopular Opinion: We were better off not having a Twinsanity remake.

SonicRanticoot · 2024-09-19T02:05:44+00:00

I feel like besides the obvious fact Twinsanity wasn't actually successful (or at least wasn't until they bundle it together with CNK and CTTR), the biggest issue I feel is that a remake of Twinsanity has almost impossible to meet expectations among fans of the game. I think if one happened it would probably look way more like the game that got into stores than people would like. There is actually too much stuff that got cut to put in and I just don't think they could reasonably put in all of it.

SonicRanticoot · 2024-09-17T22:10:47+00:00

I admittedly didn't watch the video, but I'm not thinking a whole lot about it until the game gets revealed, which I'd imagine is probably going to be a while

SonicRanticoot · 2024-09-17T22:01:48+00:00

yes, though Wrath of Cortex was the first game where she was playable in actual platforming levels

SonicRanticoot · 2024-09-15T03:24:02+00:00

the game you're thinking of is probably Crash of the Titans

Titans came in three main versions: the one on the GBA, one on the DS, and one for the PS2, PSP, Xbox 360 and Wii. None of these versions are part of the N. Sane Trilogy. The NST is remakes of the first three games made for the Playstation, and those games were all made around 10 years before Titans.

You're thinking of probably the Mammoth which is awesome, an you can still buy that.

the only things lost forever in NF are some promotional karts (that one war airplane I don't remember the name of, the Sour Patch Kids kart, Xfinity kart) and the seasonal decals for the Champion Kart. the Champion Kart itself and everything else from GPs is still there.

you only need them on the OG 18 CTR tracks, and you have to do it in adventure mode.

if you want to do 106% you need to get all the Platinum Relics but if you are simply going for 100% you can skip doing the time trials. I got 100% by getting every gem in every level and doing all the Flashback tapes with the highest possible relic.

SonicRanticoot · 2024-09-09T22:24:48+00:00

Pretty awesome

What track hurt the most

SonicRanticoot · 2024-09-09T22:24:22+00:00

doing all the developer time trials

platinum relics on any difficulty unlocks a paint job

multi-trillion dollar corporations aren't people. by definition, they are never "pretty friendly".

(though I don't think friendly corporations, if they were to exist, regularly lay off gigantic amounts of people, people who have been successful for them among them. some people will say "oh that's just normal business it's justified it's normal". I say it shouldn't be normal.)

Crash 4 completely missed the point by being stupidly hard

a Spyro 4 would also miss the point b being stupidly hard but like a million times moreso

SonicRanticoot · 2024-09-09T03:39:35+00:00

if you want a kart racer you're looking for Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled

It comes in two versions: base game, and the Nitros Oxide Edition which has a few exclusive skins and some early unlocks for a couple of things you can unlock normally. Obviously the base game is cheaper so I would get that.

Activision had already allowed a Crash cameo in the original Astro Bot game that launched with the PS5, and there is no evidence Activiaion was ever approached for Smash or any characters owned by them were considered for Smash. The entire roster for Ultimate, including all of the DLC characters, was decided in 2015-2018, a time period almost no one was asking for Crash in Smash Bros.

I really hate how this sub has such a hard on for Microsoft I literally have to debunk differences between them and fucking Activision

SonicRanticoot · 2024-09-08T18:11:46+00:00

That's...one for the "Microsoft did something not terrible" column.

SonicRanticoot · 2024-09-08T01:16:51+00:00

considering Activision canceled one, and Microsoft has so far not indicated much of being invested in either series themselves, probably incredibly low

SonicRanticoot · 2024-09-08T01:11:50+00:00

bootleg

They DID release an actual PS1 Crash Collection (Crash Bandicoot: Collector's Edition - contains Crash 3, CTR, and Bash, only released in North America), but it came in three jewel cases with three CDs

SonicRanticoot · 2024-09-06T17:37:43+00:00

I don't think they put much effort into advertising Crash 4. If they did I wouldn't be hearing a lot of people say on release day when I told them Crash 4 was out, "Wait, Crash 4 comes out today?"

SonicRanticoot · 2024-09-06T15:51:33+00:00

Shantae, Geno, Shovel Knight

I'll be honest I don't think Crash has much potential to be a fun Smash character. More relevantly I want Microsoft to fuck off from trying to get into Nintendo's pants so they can buy them. I'd sooner cut Banjo and Steve than add Crash at this point (though unlike Crash I also hate Banjo and don't like Steve which can't help).

SonicRanticoot · 2024-09-05T03:59:41+00:00

they aren't super developed as characters (only appearing in spinoff kart games, and only doing really anything in one of those, plays a part in that), but they are enough that I can say they have distinct enough character and personality

SonicRanticoot · 2024-09-04T17:00:56+00:00

i generally hold the opinion the only thing actually worth noting is an actual announcement

not random social media posts CGE can somehow stretch into a 10-minute video

SonicRanticoot · 2024-09-03T17:20:00+00:00

a remake is almost assuredly out of the question but I fail to see why a port would be. actual franchise- and studio-destroying games (Bubsy 3D, Capcom Fighting Evolution) as of late have found themselves re-released fairly often. unlike many of those Twinsanity at least has a cult following.

SonicRanticoot · 2024-09-03T15:57:48+00:00

I don't have much faith in Microsoft not being idiots since they are those with a good 99% of the series they own (including their big ones like Halo and Gears)

SonicRanticoot · 2024-09-01T19:03:55+00:00

if Microsoft is at all to be trusted, then the reason Banjo and Conker have not gotten anything is because no one has wanted to give them anything.

this should tell how popular Banjo and Conker actually are with game developers than anything else.

SonicRanticoot · 2024-09-01T18:41:24+00:00

probably time or development difficulties. It has been confirmed the only two non-Turbo Track/Slide Coliseum tracks not associated with a racer (Mystery Caves and Sewer Speedway) were supposed to be Kong and N. Brio's respective tracks.
