Square: alright alright alright, we'll remake everyone's favorite ps1 classic final fantasy 7, but we're gonna make the gameplay totally different and split it into multiple releases, ultimately taking years to hit the shelves

Naughty dog: huh? oh yeah here's crash 1. uh sure have 2 and 3 while you're here

They've re-released Final Fantasy VII like there times in the past console generation.

I mean isn't a phoenix where Enix got their name from in the first place?

at least I think a few of their old games made a phoenix part of the ultimate weapon in their game, anyhow.

Nah, it died last year. Only Lego and Amiibo are left.

IIRC, activision said they wanted to focus more on the imaginators line and supporting that instead of moving on to another iteration so soon so it sounds more like it's similar to that assassins creed situation where they took a year off from releasing an AC game to focus on other media stuff.

It's cool, but the translation and QA are rough

It all feels held together with duct tape in a way that more polished but still buggy 16-bit RPGs like FF6 don't

In FF7, the spell that heals you is called "Cure" and cure poison is "Poisona" as usual.

Haven't posted there in a few years now but they'd talk about games a lot, but also talk about anime a lot, and also there were too many people that got away with saying creepy poo poo back then. I dunno if that has changed now since one of the reasons I stopped posting there was that it always seemed like I was being treated like the bad guy for thinking that people posting sexualized pics of underaged anime girls should be called out.

Crash HD review: It's great! It's a pretty much faithful recreation of the old games with a new coat of paint and they're just as good now as they were back then. However, Crash moves slower and has absolutely no momentum so it's way harder and less fair than the originals. Crash 2 and 3 are definitely more built around it but 1 suffers greatly. Some of the one-full-Crash-length jumps are almost undoable. The new relic time trials for 1 are infuriating and are not fun in the slightest because they just amount to "play perfectly" because there's no way to make Crash go faster. Lots of quality of life improvements but they don't really help the poor movement physics.

Yes, I'm sure. It bothered me so much that I did a direct comparison by playing them side by side and I confirmed it for myself. Crash has momentum in the old games but in the new ones he stops on a dime when you let go of the control stick, but not exactly on a dime, it's just enough to throw you off but not enough for him to actually stop when you want him to. He also just moves slightly slower in general. Additionally the jump is slightly lower and he slows down when you bounce off an enemy's head, which makes some of the later levels where you're required to do that for platforming really annoying.

It's genuinely frustrating because it's a problem with an easy solution: just make the guy run a little faster.
