Absolutely all will be forgiven if I get Tawna and N.Brio

I want the pit stops, but I can see the reason why they might be gone in favor of the more intuitive multiplayer roster. I want the pitstop girls, but as long as I get even one more girl in the roster (as long as it's not just FUCKING Nina) then I will be alright.

I want either Tawna or dark Coco if we get another girl on the roster. I would prefer dark Coco as a skin, but I would take her as a character over Nina any day of the week

How would you design a cortex family member then? And how are those atributes any different from N. Gin except that instead of giant buckteeth he has a giant underbite?

>>giant buckteeth
Nothing wrong with that
>>giant head, tiny body, huge hands

That's how you know she is related to Cortex
>>sickly gray skin like she was made from sewn together corpses like the bride of Frankenstein
Thats actually a interesting theory. Maybe she was a prototype for the Obj_motherfuckers, who are artificial humans, built out of corpes and he hides that fact by saying she is a family member, which may be why he gets niece and daughter confused.

Nina's supposed to look creepy, that's kind of thing. Any other complaint of yours could be more attributed to Twinsanity's horrendous art style.

This is disproven by the fact that the Crash and Spyro remakes sold way more than all the non Naughty Dog/Insomniac Crash and Spyro games put together.

If that's the case this game would have CNK physics instead of CTR physics.

>We need people to grow up with the same characters we did
if the characters are bad, people will fondly remember other characters

They know people like CTR more so why try to risk alienating that group? Here, they can add the other characters under the guise of 'enhancing' the remake. There should be a balance of classic characters and non-ND characters.

>Nina's supposed to look creepy,
Fair enough, they did a fucking stellar job.

>Any other complaint of yours could be more attributed to Twinsanity's horrendous art style.
this does not give me comfort seeing as Vicarious Visions and Beenox seems to take a lot more influence from recent games than the old ones in terms of character designs. I personally loathe how Dr. Neo Cortex isn't even remotely threatening in the remake, he's just a goofy middle aged man. Original Crash 2 Cortex was peak Cortex, when he was a seriously menacing but also comically evil.

pic unrelated?

Kempferzero's art is the only Nina I think looks even remotely passable, and she's still the least good looking girl he ever draws.

Man these threads have made me realize how little I must have gave a fuck about Crash when I was younger compared to Spyro. I don't know half these fuckers you guys talk about. Even in terms of bosses I only remember Dingodile, Tiny, Ripper Roo, Pinstripe, N. Gin, and N. Tropy off the top of my head. Crunch too but I'm almost certain he's a Wrath of Cortex character and who gives a shit about the post-trilogy games.

Careful user, you're gonna be called a grandpa and a nostalgiafag.
I agree with your post.

My first Sonic game was adventure and my second was Adventure 2. I also remember watching Sonic X from time to time. That's pretty much what Sonic was to me. I knew of the older games, but had no way of playing them. I've sense gone back and played some of the older titles and Classic Sonic quickly became my favorite interpretation. Classic has the best "universe" too.

They really need to film some new adverts with the Crash mascot at a Go Kart place or something.

Dont worry, you played the only worthwile Crash games, all the characters people here are talking about came from garbage games that nobody played except for kids that got those games bought by their parents. The same kids that now are shitposting on Yea Forums all the time.

Everything post naughty dog in the series is completely fucking worthless
They'd be better off adding every obj.motherfucker variant before even thinking about any of the Traveler's Tales eyesores

I only posted that image to show how old the non-ND Crash games are. While I don't really know the Non-ND characters, it's understandable why they're getting focus, even if I don't agree with that choice. Sonic Boom for example is over halfway to the nostalgia point as well.

I am starting to despise how much advertising they are using on nitro kart shit

Holy up, you telling me they scrapped the bros for these cunts in nitro kart? Or are you talking about ctr scrapping Moe?

How many of the Nitro Kart racers were designed by Zembillas aside from Velo? I'm genuinely curious.

My first experience with Crash was playing Warped on my neighbor's PS1, during which I honestly couldn't tell Cortex was supposed to be the villain with how depressed and beaten he seemed throughout the Time Twister cinematics.

Maybe it's my benefit of foresight, but I always felt anyone who ever once took Cortex as a serious threat was either kidding themselves or drawing too much from his informed character backstory.

I'm pretty sure only Fake Velo / Real Velo were designed by Charles Zembillas.

Wouldn't hurt, damn

>Imagine being autistic enough to get mad at how a company advertises their game
Chill man you don't have to sperg out at any criticism towards Beenox.

Maybe they just want to keep the classic ND cast a secret?

The credits list Zembillas as the only character designer, so I assumed he made or at least finalized them. Velo is the only one to go through several drafts

Lex is definitely a worse Cortex
He's kind of a cunt about it too because he's done interviews saying nobody liked Clancy Brown's VA because he made Cortex sound too scary

I love CTR and I've never played a Crash beyond Huge Adventure, and I think the 'new' (CNK actually came out in Nov 2003, same time as Double Dash) characters are great. These 2 in particular are based.

Like I said, Crash 2 was peak Cortex.
In Crash 1 he was menacing with how dark and ominous the levels on his island were, in Crash 2 his voice actor does a really amazing job at portraying a manipulative and sinister Cortex. His speeches and particularly his laugh was top tier villain.

In Crash 3 he is downplayed to make way for the new big bad, Uka Uka. He's still menacing and condescending, but this time he's more focused on petty revenge.

Attached: cortex_hologram.jpg (357x256, 17K)

To be fair, he is pretty depressed and desperate in Warped, considering Crash already kicked his face in twice and he was on his third strike with Uka Uka by that point.

I was poor during the PSX era and I only owned a copy of Crash 1 and Crash 2 that I stole from my local dentist place

CNK was originally made by Travellers Tales, the Twinsanity guys, and they were gpnna have Komodo Bros, Rilla Roo and even have Nina debut in the game. However, the proyect was moved to Vicarious Visions who came up with the idea of "CTR in space" and thus the old roster was scrapped and they called in Zembillas to come up with new characters.

Oh and Brio was considered too, just so you know

Why does it seem like VV tried their hardest to make Zem and Zam so forgettable?
>Make their names one letter off from each
>Make them both green, with large underbites and large teeth. NF now makes them the same shade of green.

Seriously if they just made one blue or something, they would probably stand out more. Even just swapping in one of the CNK bosses in their place would've allowed them to stand out more on their own.
It's a shame all the cool aliens weren't playable in CNK.

No, new Sonic is considered iconic because that's a better and improved design of the old and outdated original one.
Original Sonic is left in the past, it look like an 80s cartoon, while the new Sonic is more in line with the 90s design of all the pther veideogame mascot

>pther veideogame mascot
I love when trolls give themselves away unintentionally.

I want the figure 8 track that was 99% done in the original CTR, but was scrapped because there wasn't enough time to adequately debug. I just think that a track that crosses over and intersects itself half way would be a fun concept in a game like this.

It definitely the intersection separated in a way that doesn't have people just blatantly going the wrong direction in hopes of cheesing the track's checkpoints.
Think of how mode7 racers had to deal with overlaps: one side basically gets launched over the other via a boost pad, or just a simple overpass like Roo's Tubes.
I hope that Beenox got in touch with Naughtydog for any other potential scrapped stages to re-imagine.

I honestly don't see the appeal of that in a game that isn't focused on crashing into opponents.

The ones you don't know we're just from the ctr knockoff that's being slapped on the end of this remake. You didn't miss out

It's pretty much the other way round. We have seen barely half of the ctr tracks. The thing that is bringing people in. Only underage cunts care about nitro kart

He has never said that. He said that Cortex sounding scary was the reason he was called in, and that the suits at Universal thought it was bad because it made kids cry.

Imagine thinking I'm the autistic when you are seething enough to respond with such aggression

They are so out of place for crash though. I remember them saying they were jumping the shark when they made Oxide, then what are they jumping to get to this?

By three he was beat down and pretty desperate. You gotta remember the three games timewise are within a year.

Fuck me that sucks. I didn't mind CNK as it kinda linked to CTR, but that sounds way more interesting

Don't think about it too much.
The only ones of the new characters that are not Nitro Kart OC's are Crunch and N. Trance, the egg looking guy, so if you know these 2 you are a-ok

Attached: tumblr_prw9cgNAnm1vlo44oo1_400.png (400x431, 58K)

They were literally fill in's there is NOTHING good or interesting about them

The only thing Cortex had in 2 was presence, which was as you brought up can be attributed to a fantastic voiceover by Clancy Brown.

But when you take away the booming ambiance and monolithic hologram head, Cortex is just a bitter shell of a villain reduced to manipulating a failed experiment to do his bidding. He has no island, no armies, no allies save for N. Gin and a handful of derelict Lab Assistants. Only in the eleventh hour are his motives finally unmasked, by which time he's quickly dealt with.

But more to the point, Cortex's effectiveness as a villain is limited by set up and presentation. He was in his prime in the first game only because he outright owned everything, in 2 he was conspiring from the shadows and 3 had him just along for the ride because Uka Uka was making him. When you've been through as much as Dr. Neo Cortex, really the only way to go is down.

Someone posted a list a few threads back and they were pretty sweet. One was the evil academy, another was in the trees like Twana's bonus stage in 1. If we got hover mode, I'd love a track based off upstream levels

Yeah maybe it would have to be a jump of some kind. Or they would have to be very obtuse about what direction to go with tons of arrows that trigger depending where you are on the map.
I see the intersection being a clusterfuck of beakers and crates dropped by other racers. It would be a track akin to Baby Park in MK. Sure it wouldn't be the most traditionally competitive track, but every kart game needs at least one bullshit gimmick track. If the rest of the track was banked curves designed around powersliding and boosts, it could be fun.

Would that cause major issues with the tracking weapons?

I grew up with original Crash and have played all the console games and the game boy advance N.Tranced game. Cortex has always been a cartoon mad scientist. If you were actually threatened by him, it was mostly Clancy Brown’s tone then actually Cortex. Heck in 2 he doesn’t even fight back as the final boss. Lex is fine as Cortex. I will give that Clancy had the better evil laugh though and wish he stayed on as Uka Uka. Also as a theory, I think all the characters got wacky-er the longer they live on the N Sanity Isles.

What? He had the space station, obj_motherfucker minions and N.gin put robot parts into animals to make them do their bidding. Commodore bros and Tiny too

>N. Gin: "How do you expect to retrieve them (the crystals) when we don't have any earthbound operatives left?"

>obj_motherfucker
>robot parts into animals
That was Brio, commanding Cortex's remaining forces from the first game to stop him from gathering crystals.

>Commodore 64 bros
Also Brio. Ripper Roo, too, but Tiny is something of a gray area...

All of those forces were under control of N. Brio in his attempt to stop Crash from gathering crystals. After the events of the first game, Brio is the one who had found the rest of the mutants that had escaped the burning castle and they of course aligned with him since Cortex was nowhere to be found and they were listening to Brio before anyway, so having Crash as an enemy is par the course for them.
Cortex only had N. Gin on his side.
The only reason that Tiny came back to Cortex's side in Warped is because Tiny wasn't aware that Brio and Cortex were at odds with one another, he just saw a bandicoot and was told to squash it. It's likely that Cortex found him after the fight and revived him so of course he'd trust Cortex.

Not necessarily. There would still be one direction around the track that warp orbs and missiles would have to follow. Although I suppose part of the chaos could be dodging other racers items crossing the other direction from you. Like I said, it would be extremely gimmicky, but I think one track like that in NF would be fun for variety.

So who made Dingodile? Brio was out of the picture at that point

We have seen almost every CTR track at least briefly. Mystery Cave and Dragon Mines spring to mind as the only ones we've seen nothing from.

Theyre from CNK. Which is 16 years old

Attached: CTReminder.png (533x351, 59K)

Judging by the scrapped cinematic for Crash 1. All of the exist mutants were already designed and were planned to be a part of the cast but couldn't due to size limitations.
There's genuinely not an answer for where Dingodile exactly came from, but that also goes for Coco since she also just sort of showed up.
If you want to go by post-ND lore, Dingodile and Rilla Roo were both made by Brio but who the fuck knows how Dingodile came to align himself with Cortex. He's kind of a merc for hire at this point.
Also since Tiny is a Tasmanian Tiger, it means Brio literally brought back an extinct animal just to be a killer, so it's not too farfetched to see him having spliced animal genes together.

I think I saw a screenshot of it showing it has a casino theme now.

CTF in the battle modes would be fun. Feel like only a few of the arenas could do it though. Are we getting CNK battle arenas too?

So are we getting Crash Bash next?

Yes.

Yep. All the CNK arenas are in. Hopefully we get a few original ones too.

>Are we getting CNK battle arenas too?

Crash Retold

I can dig it. Always confused me why Pinstripe's track was in the air. Guess NGin lab was already too powerplant like

The track was originally a Cortex track since his fight in CB1 was on top of his airship. If you look at old screenshots of HAS the blimps even had Cortex's face on it. This was of course changed when they decided that Cortex's castle was a better stage and they had Pinstripe in his place.

Anyone think we'll get any bonus rewards for beating all the Oxide/Velo ghosts in NF? It's what separates the men from the boys. I'm hoping for some shiny gold paint or exclusive kart (pls be Velo's hoverbike). Something like a sticker would be fucking lame though.

This. Started with Crash 3 and CTR as a kid, and had followed the series up to CTTR. Never bothered touching MoM or CotT.

Wasn't he all-rounded? There was no acceleration class and Coco and N. Gin were changed to handling IIRC.

You might be right. Dunno why I thought that

A lot of people started with Crash 3 even if they were old enough to play 1 &
2 because it was a major system seller and the most heavily marketed of all Crash games ever.

Well all-rounded was the closest to acceleration in that game, I think.

Cool, I've always liked the CNK bosses (Zem and Zam less so), and thought that it was honestly a shame that a lot of these character designs ended up wasted as one-off 'aliens'. There is so much more potential for them, I hope they get retconned origins in a potential sequel.

I assume Joy but why would someone bolt a J on their head for that? Hell Good Cortex also had an N and I think its safe to assume it means Nice.
Guess Madame Amberly's Good Academy exists somewhere in the 10th dimension.

Jolly?

Well if the "N" for Cortex stands for "Nerd", it stands to reason that in the reverse world, it would be "Jock"

Cortex’s N stood for ‘nerd’ so maybe hers did as well, but 10th dimensional Nina is a jock instead.

I stand corrected, but I know that render is not Adventure Sonic, it's definitely after '06 Sonic and it was used in Sonic 4, hence that fucked up smirk that looks off.

But the only activision Crash thing VV has done was the N.Sane trilogy, which is just redoing the original trilogy. Again, point being?

Are we really at the point where people are pretending that Crash Bandicoot ever had classic characters? Even Crash himself, ESPECIALLY Crash himself, is straight shit. What's your favorite part of his design, the jorts or the fingerless gloves? Mine's the tribal tattoos they eventually added to make him the dumbest-looking motherfucking video game character of all time.

Character development moment where tawna realizes her cash grab gold digging stunt left her empty because pinstripe is the kind of guy to be completely dead intimately and basically only wanted her around because she makes him look good, sort of like a trophy wife, so she forms this convoluted plan to have crash come "rescue her" and then runs off with all pinstripes money while they're fighting and goes to find fulfilment in her life while occasionally visting crash for that bandicock when?

I kinda know that feel. You never really get to the point of 'enjoying' how shit they handle, because on some tracks you literally can't stay boosted, or it's incredibly fucking tiresome to slowly line them up with every corner.

Seems like handling is a bit better in the remake though because of a slight physics difference I've noticed, where characters handle better as soon as they leave the ground (the kart's grip limits reset).

Attached: CocoSacredFire.webm (770x466, 2.95M)

This is cute
I wish they had enough to to finish 10th dimension I always did wonder what the Good Cortex's and Evil Crash's dynamic would be.

A bit more creative than Spacecat's idea for certain. Anyway since the artist seems to go with the opposite I guess he'd be like that inverse N.Gin fanart thats been around

i think they've said that in the remake there's less of a difference between the different racer categories, so that for most players handling characters aren't just slow-tier and the speed characters aren't going to be just ramming into walls constantly

Well here’s one deleted example of one way it could have gone. I personally wished they kept the N.Gin kidnapping Coco Cortex.

Twinsanity not being fully finished will always be one of the most disappointing things to me. I know a lot of fans are kinda split on the game's style, but I really liked it a lot. I'd love to see it finished in a remake with every idea intact and the original crew on board helping out Vicarious Visions... but I'd also like to see Crash have a new game and not just remakes. I wouldn't mind seeing a new Crash game take some of the ideas of Twinsanity though, especially the idea of Crash and Cortex working together.

youtu.be/7jlAGm4LDd4

Yeah, they can still win races if you're competent at the game, but pulling off the crazy tricks you always see crash, polar or coco players do is next to impossible. They're still viable for singleplayer but unless they get a buff for their handling to not be total ass, I can't see them being used often Online where you are likely to get your ass kicked unless you do all those crazy tricks. I can already see Coco, Crash/Cortex and probably Polar/Pura being the Nitro Fueled Meta, especially since handling characters got a speed buff.

I recall them saying that, I hope it's true.

Honestly the biggest problem in the original is just that speed characters take too long to reach max steering radius. If the max angle is shit already, it doesn't need to take longer to get there as well. You're just waiting for ages for the character to turn...

Twinsanity's soundtrack is great if nothing else.

I kinda hope the do a reimagined Twinsanity game for Crash. You could take all the concepts that didn’t get used without specifically making a remake.

Most of the Universal era games had good ideas implemented poorly due to fucky development cycles. I’d love for them to take concepts from Wrath of Cortex, Twinsanity and the GBA games on board while making a new Crash 4 in a similar style to 1-3.

Twinsanity was the last better than bad crash game, I like Nina being a creepy mute whos less evil and more way too strong for her own good. Even now I don't know how I feel about her potentially being smarter than cortex, Mind over mutant ruined a lot of things for me

Wait, the old CTR trophy girls arent going to be racers? Why the fuck not?

The gba games were unironically great.

nobody has any idea what's happening with them at the moment, we'll probably find out for sure at E3 since beenox/activision said they have plenty to reveal there

Beyond their hands on the side of the screen in the reveal trailer they haven’t been shown at all. Either they’ve been cut, kept under wraps for no discernible reason, or, as a couple ‘leakers’ have claimed, are going to be skins for Tawna.

I recently played through adventure mode with n tropy and it was actually pretty fun

That could work as well
I recall seeing a Koala Kong train fight concept art and the evil academy was expanded upon greatly

ESRB don’t give a shit, most of the censorship debacles of late have been brought on by platform holders or publishers themselves. Besides, if the content in the retail version differs significantly from the build the ESRB trialed then they’ll redact their rating for it, leaving it unrated and thus risky for platform holders to host it and stores to stock it.

Lmao I know. Just spitballing.

Roster details

As you know you start off with the original 8 unlocked. There are 12 more racers unlocked in Adventure Mode. As you know, the bosses are unlocked just by beating them now. The Gem Cups have different rewards. Red unlocks Koala Kong, Green unlocks N.Brio, Blue unlocks Komodo Moe, Yellow unlocks Tawna and Purple unlocks Baby T. Fake Crash is now found hidden in Slide Coliseum, and N.Tropy is now unlocked in Adventure Mode by getting Sapphire in all Relic Races.

Penta also returns, still unlocked by cheat code. Because Penta was a secret character, the dev team decided to keep his implementation the same and not reveal him as a racer officially until post release, to keep it authentic to the original experience.

The Pit Stop is where all post ND content is acquired. There are 11 Nitro Kart characters to unlock, with the 11th (Fake Velo) not available until you’ve acquired Real Velo and the four Nitro Kart bosses. Additionally Rilla Roo, Nina and Spyro are available here. Spyro isn’t available until you’ve 100%ed Adventure Mode.

All this adds up to a total of 35 racers. There are still 32 tracks not counting arenas, but the team are considering DLC tracks for characters who don’t have a track associated with them. If the game sells well enough to justify these, they will be made available in the Pit Stop as well so you can earn them without having to pay more money (unless you want to).

Believe it or not, you’re gonna find out real soon.

Yeah that works amazlying
I feel like radical forgot that the villains also have a silly side to them that counteracts the edge they have even N.Tropy has that quality.

She was a bratty dork in the Titans series. She lost like a Cortex as well right at the finish line.

She may have lost like a good cortex but quite frankly she was missing that edge

It was a weird time when the game was being made

He was planned for the reboot Radical was making after they fucked up the franchise
The concept art for some of it actually looked good.

I really enjoyed the way the characters were portrayed in the Titans series and how they fleshed out the N Santity Isles island and the Cortex and Brio mutants that inhabit them. The bosses were lacking, but I did enjoy co op mode with Coco. Aku Aku being able to actually do stuff in the story was cool too. I also really enjoyed minions talking to each other. My gripes with the series were the level structure and Crash being harder to kill taking away from the gameplay and relying so hard on taking over other mutants. Also every thing they did to Tiny. That wasn’t right.

So what youre saying is she looks like shes related to Cortex which is the point of her design anyway.

I presume its in the base game since he appeared in cortex castle

It got reworked and released into that Dreamworks kart racer, take that as you will

I did enjoy the character interactions in the Titans games, outside some of the "random" humor that was popular around then. I really hope we can have more reserved Crash Bandicoot humor but have more cutscenes with the characters interacting with one another in future games.

Biker crash has to be in, its baffling why he isn't confirmed yet

So I have been thinking what would happen if the original bosses got the elementals instead of exclusively Crunch.
>Tiny Tiger with Rok-ko, covering him a thick rocky armour that takes 2 spins to knock off before crash can actually damage him. Does his usual shtick of jumping around but each jump causes a mini earth quake, shaking the ground and sometimes even destroying parts of it.
>N.Tropy with Wa-Wa. Turns N.Tropy into water that follows a river that crash must jump on logs and stuff to not drown. Crash cannot damage N.Tropy until he has come out of the water to manipulate the flow of the river using time. He can speed it up, making crash move faster but also forces him to jump between logs faster. He can slow it down along with Crash to come up and get a hit in. He can completely stop the river and crash as well, coming out of the water in a big spash and coming down which is seen in a shadow before he comes down. In either of these he can attack N.Tropy. There are other things that get thrown out of the water between attacks.
>Dingodile with Py-Ro. I can't think of much mechanically so let us move on
>Can't think of who to pair with Lo-Lo. Maybe N.Gin but I can't think of anything mechanically

For some reason in some gameplay it lists just the initial 8 with 8/8 and in others it has X/25. Maybe with Pit Stop racers once you’ve seen them at the Pit Stop it adds them to your character select screen but keeps them locked to continually remind you to buy them?

There’s a dreamworks kart racer? Is Megamind in it?

for sure penta will be 100% in so this is a logical explanation, or they cut out a bunch in the build they were playing with for obvious reasons.

Eh who am I kidding I already used him before...

If this is legit the trophy girls are in this it would be the game of the year easily.

In CNK Zem had these dead eyes and Zam looked like the smuggest motherfucker around, I guess Beenox slightly salvaged their designs. But only slightly.

I’ve seen a lot of fan theories that if Tawna is in they’ll make the trophy girls her alt skins.

Isn't this nudity?

no, there is a thin layer of paint between you and the nipples.

They look like generic CGI movie villains.
Either that or SJWs

Any Crash game after Playstation 1 was literally Trash: fact.

Huge Adventure and N.Tranced were pretty good though.

Twinsanity was good and so was CNK

Not 'great' not 'excellent' but definitely worth a buy in their day. CTTR too if you just wanted a last hurrah where it's the last time the cast resembles themselves.

The dodgier physics and completely removing reserves makes CNK such a turn off for me. I used to like it because I actually played it 'before' CTR back in the day cause I never got to buy CTR but once I did play CTR, I was instantly spoiled. But I guess on the bright side, Nitro Fueled is basically gonna be CNK but proper so it all evens out.

If Zem & Zam are not assists to Oxide's final challenge in Nitro-Fueled mode then what's the point.

Ripper Roo was probably neutral during Crash 2.
Komodo Bros were definitely with Brio.
Tiny is an interesting situation because there's multiple answers to that question.

Fuck off. I remember seeing copies of CTR and Warped the same time CNK was on the shelves.

The mimes aren't epic XD randum characters.

I wish the CNK content wasn’t just bonus stuff you buy from an in game store and was actually implemented into the campaign, having both Komodo Bros in one boss race, Oxide with the Z boys in the same race, and both Norms in one race would be cool.

What were your ideas for scientists or mutants as bosses? Don't pretend you didn't come up with at least one.

Nina's one of the few good designs in this godforsaken franchise and you want generic bimbos instead. Shame on you.

Cortex's visual design was never intimidating. At worst he looked depressed.

Cortex is a joke in everything but his introductory game. Crash 2 had him puppeting Crash from the shadows because he had no minions and Warped he completely lost all presence as a villain when Uka Uka took control; you could argue N. Tropy was more a main villain at that point than Cortex, as it was his creation that made time travel possible.

>hating Lex Lang
I can understand not liking his take on the character as much but holy shit it's not his fault the man was hired to do a job. He's the oldest surviving Crash VA after Coco's, and I feel that deserves some merit.

>yes
Of course.

This is a very specific breed of autism.

We have one generic bimbo and that's just enough for me, Tawna fills her role as the unreasonably hot girlfriend of the goofy retard main character perfectly (just like Roger Rabbit and Jessica).

We didn't need a mega ugly Wednesday Addams knock-off to dilute the already pretty big roster.

Yes, that actually half decent design will really cramp Zam, Zem and N Trance's style.

Clown scientist Uka Uka brought along specifically to torture Cortex

God, even if there was one level available to play as a demo, i'd play it all day. I've never been this excited for a game for a long time

Why don't we get demos much anymore? My only guess is developers being afraid of datamining.

Needs additional ascending eyebrows.

I remember playing many hours of a crash bash demo from a disk inside a magazine, those were good times.

I had an idea for 4 secret bosses that would only show up on NG+ in a Crash game (because it's really the only 'subtle' way to introduce OC).

Only got around to drawing and finalizing 3 of them. The one I was most fond of was a cat with cancer, but her ability to atomize and travel through most surfaces caused her cancer cells to constantly die, thus curing her. She's also constantly hungry because of it. She was previously Nina's kitten that Cortex had to 'send away'.

>Cortex is a joke in everything but his introductory game. Crash 2 had him puppeting Crash from the shadows because he had no minions
And he's still extremely threatening. He's portrayed as cunning and manipulative. He's a bit goofy yes, but not nearly as goofy as he is menacing.

>he completely lost all presence as a villain when Uka Uka took control; you could argue N. Tropy was more a main villain at that point than Cortex, as it was his creation that made time travel possible.
That's fine, he was not meant to be the big bad of Warped. Uka Uka was, and did a good job of portraying that "you had just been fighting the lackey of the true big bad".

>I can understand not liking his take on the character as much but holy shit it's not his fault the man was hired to do a job. He's the oldest surviving Crash VA after Coco's, and I feel that deserves some merit.
he absolutely fucking butchered Cortex, he his presence and his laugh is just fucking pathetic. I have a very hard time taking him serious as a villain when his portrayal just sounds like an excited middle aged man

Fun fact, when I first played Crash 1, it was on a sub par CRT tv so the speakers weren't that great, so I actually thought Cortex was saying "Damn you, Crash Bandicoot!" instead of Darn. That was an interesting moment to say the least.

it bothered me slightly that the n.sane trilogy had uka uka do the GAME OVER in all 3 games, albeit shadowed out in the first two. i liked it when it was cortex in the first two originally

You were doing so well until you said Rilla Roo was going to be playable

Completely agree.

Can someone post all these available Nina’s from the drawfriend? Please.

Nina should have been a young adult obsessed with Cortex similar to how serial killers get fangirls. At the point in the story when she became relevant, Cortex doesn't exactly have a lot of options so he could easily accept such a person to help him out. I also thought a fucking evil academy was retarded as hell since it's evident that their alums haven't succeeded at anything world-scale yet.
Being of adult age allows a suspension of disbelief as to how Nina were able to move around freely and allows her age to remain roughly in the same range after timeskips (such as the 3 year leap at the start of Twinsanity). An unhealthy obsession would explain a self-branded n on her forehead. And being unrelated to Neo ditches the lackluster taste left in the back of your mouth from adding an obscure family member to the crew, but the age-gap between Neo and Nina would still allow for a mentor-student dynamic to exist.
Other than how hamfisted her introduction is, Nina doesn't really cause any problems by existing.
>yes
oh it's fucking you. Would it kill you to compose yourself and be articulate so people who actually agree with you don't do so on principle? Post-ND crash is a mosh-pit of decent-to-bad ideas but the prevailing thread between all of them is lackluster execution.

I don't know the bandicoot equivalent of a "knot" is but Nina should get it

Attitudes like that are the worst. You just want fapbait. That prevents us from ever getting interesting designs like Nina. Maybe not every design choice needs to make characters attractive.

>oh it's fucking you. Would it kill you to compose yourself and be articulate so people who actually agree with you don't do so on principle?
I am an extremely well mannered, helpful and all around friendly individual in real life. I just happen to be an asshole online, and on the road.

>Nina should have been a young adult obsessed with Cortex similar to how serial killers get fangirls.
>Being of adult age allows a suspension of disbelief as to how Nina were able to move around freely and allows her age to remain roughly in the same range after timeskips
I don't hate this idea and I think that would have worked better. Cortex having a female assistant he doesn't fully trust but that he's forced to rely on and that shows him nothing but devotion would be a fun dynamic. Something that would feel a lot less out of character among the original cast of characters than "The evil mastermind is taking care of a small relative for some reason".

He isn't taking care of her, hes using her to achieve his own ends.

N.Ope He doesn't do much

>evil mastermind seeking world domination
>randomly adopts small child and takes care of her
>but he's doing it because he's EVIL
yeah sure

The fact of the matter is that Neo somehow maintained contact with a school-aged relative despite being frozen in ice for the past 3 years. 3 years is a massive amount of a kid's life and they change drastically since she estimated to be 15-ish. If you expect him to have a contact with her from before the events of Crash 1, there's still a minimum 1 year time leap at the start of Crash 2 where he fucked off into space. The Wumpa Islands are far away from civilization with the only humans being the native tribes, how the hell would Cortex even maintain contact with Nina without being detected by world police? It's incredibly hard to believe, it's all contrived and far too convenient. Just because it operates on cartoon logic doesn't mean that cartoons can't have bad writing and are not deserving of better.

I thought he meant the whale from spongebob

Yeah no its not like shes a hyper intelligent evil doer like he is who could help him achieve world domination, having him take care of whats basically a baby who can't do anything is really ooc, which is what nina is, I also lack the ability to identify characteristics of fictional characters if they aren't blatantly stated outright. What we need is a series of convoluted cutscenes and dialogues of cortex constantly reaffirming what exactly his relationship with Nina is and why hes bothering to take care of her. At least five times a game.

Even back then over analytic critique of children aimed media was a plague. Guess things never change.

funny that you post animaniacs since they have had several gags making fun of exactly the type of overly-convenient new-character contrivance that I was talking about.
don't try to act like you're somehow better than me, don't forget where you are

they could have designed a female character that could help him achieve world domination without it being a sonic autist tier babby OC

If it was a stone hearted female scientist whose unwillingness to help Cortex stemmed from her complete disrespect for him as a successful scientist I would buy that relationship a lot better, and would also see how that would make her a reasonable enemy to Crash. But Nina just reeks of "ok, how do we make this game appeal more to dumb children".

>Nina should have been a young adult obsessed with Cortex similar to how serial killers get fangirls.
I see this posted a lot and I tell you ever time it doesn't work. Nina is supposed to be a child; innocence weaponized by Cortex's ambition.

You can't just turn her into fucking Harley Quinn.

Well yeah, the game was made for children. The level of character depth you wan't was never a standard in crash games and I don't see why it has to be for Nina specifically. Just admit you don't like her on a personal level because as far as "Hey heres a new person" levels of introduction goes shes about as deep as literally everyone else introduced in the game since crash 1

I grew up with the crash trilogy and didn't play twinsanity until way after the fact. Crash was always Kids to adults and who the intended audience was (which is entirely conjecture if we're being real) doesn't change the fact that I'm right, crash was, and doesn't need to be deep in its story or character depth, it just needs to be fun and cool, and if you're going to make a little girl cool you give her crazy robot hands and say shes evil and most people will say "aight, coo".

N. Travenous
Sounds dracula-y and intravenous means existing or taking place within, or administered into, a vein or veins.

Jigger

That sounds more like an arc then inconsistent. She was mute in Twinsanity because of time, Her first time seeing her “uncle” in years was him and Crash grabbing her to stop the Evil Twins. Now believing Cortex was a hero, he probably said Crash was the villain. Then as an older teen realizes her Uncle was just lying and became more bitter and wanted to out due her uncle, but was just as incompetent.

I guess you could blame it on the developers changing hands a lot in that period. Travelers Tales is not Vicarious Visions, and neither of them are Radical entertainment. Each brought their own different spin on the characters and that wasn't at all exclusive to Nina.

Actually, that's a generic NPC from the Classroom Chaos level. You only see it for two seconds of screentime knocking over the janitor robot running between classes.
