There were some complaints when the gameplay was first revealed at PSX 2016 last year that Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy looked a little flat and washed out, but the presentation has come a long way since then. It looks like Vicarious Visions has been busy tweaking the title's lighting, colouring, and even textures as the 32-bit love-in looks much more in line with its PSone counterparts now.
In fact, this 4K footage captured using a PlayStation 4 Pro on German channel Inside PlayStation looks… Really, really good. The animations, art, and image quality all look spot on – it really is a PSone game rendered in Ultra High-Definition. We're so glad not just that this project exists, but that it's being done properly.

Christ its gawjus innit. Need to upgrade my speakers though, couldn't understand a word she was saying.
My lord it looks pretty.
And very red.
Oh goodie....this again.
Apart from that my only concern isn't nitpicking but rather a worry (Outside of colourblind mode thx guys) in that if this game emulates too close to how Crash felt in Crash 1, and not with the more fluid improvements from 2 and 3 (Id be okay with them keeping him heavy in Crash 1 but no further), then I'm worried.
Ive already heard he is "Somewhere inbetween" and unfortunately some people are having issues with even climbing stairs in Hang Eight because he is closer to Crash 1, especially with how hard he falls when jumping.
Okay, honestly the only other thing I'd change is when breaking Nitro crates or getting a collectible, give it more pazzaz. Make the screen shake, proper explosion, satisfying soundeffect. It doesn't feel good to do those things otherwise.
Feels hollow.
She's speaking 1337 speak..
I know I have been a bit critical of te overall look so far but this is looking better now. The lighting, shadows, ambient occlusion etc is given more depth and life to the image. Even the textures of the walls etc look to be improved - not so flat looking.
Still not sure that I would buy but I will give credit where its due. Its looking less like a PS3 game now...
@BLP_Software It could depend on how each player has played it, both analogue sticks and d-pad are useable on the fly. PlayStation magazine said they found using the d-pad for the side scroller sections to feel much more accurate.
June can't come fast enough
is it exclusive?on ps4
It looks better than ever and I seriously can't wait for this game.Day one
@Y999 Common sense suggests it's a timed exclusive.
Too bad its not native 4k. Bet the scorpio could run it better.
Looks great I think.
@waluigifan1 Well, yeah...it's not out yet and has much higher specs. Never know though, we might get the chance to find out if this is indeed only a timed exclusive.
@SegaBlueSky I take it you like the Vectorman games?
@waluigifan1 I do now, but managed to miss them completely as a kid, which I really regret! Still, better late than never eh?
@SegaBlueSky I really would like to see a new one someday. At least there on all those Sega Genesis collections.
