I’ll go ahead and put a big fat disclaimer on this, just in case anyone is perceiving this as news… it’s not. This is a set of screenshots created by a modder that used the CryEngine 2 to construct a tech demo of sorts, displaying what Crash looks like when he’s powered by a beefy engine.
I know this is a little different than what you usually see here on TSA, but I thought it looked cool and it reminded me of a better time for Crash, back when the series was good, and made me wonder what would’ve happened if Naughty Dog had retained the franchise and kept pumping out great installments.
I was a little late to the original PlayStation party and didn’t purchase it until a couple of years after launch. When I did, the first games I played were the original three Crash Bandicoot titles (1-3). Since then, Naughty Dog passed the torch on to several other studios that didn’t have nearly the success (or quality) achieved by the great ND. Seeing this demo immediately made me want two things; An HD remake of the first three games, and the series to go back to the people that gave birth to it.
Now, who’s leg do we have to hump to make this happen?

Looks gorgeous but it seems a bit sinful to have a game with limited movement in such a fully realised environment. Still, impressive work!

That’s the way Crash was intended though, don’t think it would be right any other way than in the original 3 games.

Nice that look really cool, thanks for posting this.
Would love to see a new Crash done right.
