| aLkaLiNE said: So much comparison to modern games as if they're still supposed to be AAA titles released today. Fact of the matter is crash and spyro absolutely helped Sony differentiate from Nintendo. Clones? Show me one. Literally one n64 game that was 3rd person in the same manner as Crash. Still different genre. Spyro was about a dragon freeing eggs for his clan vs Mario who wanted to unlock stars to fight bowser.... Where is the similarity? Better yet play those games sequels and tell me they aren't distinct. I'll disagree and tell you they helped to DISTINGUISH. Try crash warped and let me know where you sit because for my generarion who owned an N64, Crash changed the game and put Naughty Dog on a pedastool that no one else has managed to reach in my completely honest opinion. New IP after new IP and each time its GOLD. From Crash to Jak and Daxter to Uncharted to The Last of Us. Show me that pedigree in the history of video gaming and you have my instant respect. |
crash team racing (1999) = mario kart (1996)
crash bash (2000) = mario party (1998)
the original crash bandicoot (1996) = overhead, horizontally scrolling version of donkey kong country (1994) + sonic the hedgehog (1991)
for examples of ripped off character design:
candy kong:
tawna bandicoot:
knuckles the echidna:
crunch bandicoot:
