Crash Bandicoot has gotten a remaster and it will be released on 30th June, according to a blog post. Called the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, it is the remastering of Crash Bandicoot, Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back and Crash Bandicoot: Warped.
According to the post, this is a AAA remaster of the originals, with the original soundtrack recreated to “improve sound quality and fidelity, while staying faithful to the original compositions.”
“We’re giving this the love and attention to detail that we pay to all of our AAA games. We’re building it using the original level geometry so that it plays as close to the original as possible. We’ve also referred to this as a remaster plus, as we are adding new features that we think the fans are going to love!”
So they said.
With regards to what is actually different compared to the original, they said “The addition of real-time lighting in a PBR (Physically Based Rendering) engine, along with an increase in texture size, can sometimes make our environments look different than the originals.”
“Generally, while we strive to recreate each level so it looks and feels like the original, we also want to make sure that environments are fun, colorful, and read well in the fast-paced action with the addition of the new technology we are using.”
Guess we don’t really have that much to go on for now, apart from the fact that you can relive your nostalgia when they finally release it in June. You can read more of the Q&A excitement by the team here.
