I love the subtle visual storytelling this game has. The game starts you in more naturalistic environments like jungles, before slowly moving to more manmade environments as you progress. Going from tribal huts to ancient temples to cortex’s mechanical island.
Another cool detail that’s really more prevalent in the betas is how you can see how Crash gets from place to place and how they interact with each other. Like for example, Pinstripe has an unused sound in his boss fight of a generator powering down, which might have hinted at why Lights Out and Fumbling in the Dark have no lights

Let's all join our hands for a collective "Woah".

I was almost panicking when he was saying the whole thing of the outro and didn't do a Sly Cooper reference-
I thought he forgot.

nga i just finished eating 😭 bro shouldve dropped 10 mins earlier

'Preciate ya makin this video! I love your content, you essentially picked up the torch for me that The Completionist fumbled. Not saying you make the same kinda content, but when I want that kinda wholesome vibe, I'm happy you're here

I actually love the environmental story telling in this game. From the lush forests, native villages, ancient and forgotten ruins and temples to the Industrial complex and castle. Particularly the ancient ruins and temples. Makes you wonder what civilization used to live there and what happened to them?

Also it is interesting how this is one example of a game where the 100% ending is actually non-canonical. As the second game begins straight after Cortex' defeat.

"WOAH!!"

10:37 That OG model of Crash was something else.

This is a very well articulated and well edited video!

I did not know that the 2 guys responsible for Naughty Dog's birth were making games since they were teenagers in high school in the 1980s no less omg. I am looking forward to your next videos about the Crash sequels and maybe the rest of the Crash series? Maybe? I dunno.

Either way, great video, J!

20:21 Video Game Rivalry Advertisements were such a blast to watch back then

I only played Crash bandicoot from the n sane trilogy. But there is something about the graphichs of the ps1 port that hit different.

The very first video game that I can remember playing was Crash 2, we never had Crash 1 in my household but, we had the other PS1 games of the franchise.

The old school Crash commercials were HILARIOUS when I was a kid… classic 😂😭

The Crash N-Sane Trilogy and Crash 4 are absolutely awesome video games. They deserve a lot of respect. Giving the platformer genre the spotlight it always learned as a long time franchise.

I really really hope we get a Crash 5 soon.

Crash Bandicoot is my childhood! If it wasn't for him, I probably wouldn't be into gaming right now!

I remember looking at the lush graphics of the first Crash Bandicoot the same way people looked at Crysis and the Last of Us when that was cutting edge.  

Such an amazing looking game.

28:02 just nearly dodged a bullet

Fun fact: This year is the 30th anniversary of Crash Bandicoot!

Of course you post this the day i felt the urge to go replay crash 3

what's also funny about the  ads, is that in some Crash also teams up with Needles Kane from Twisted Metal 3 and Lara croft.
