Crash Twinsanity - What Happened? 

I was about to say lol

I mean, it could be the same person. Have you ever seen them together in the same room?

Eh, it's fine. To be honest, I thought it was a placeholder since you couldn't an image of the real deal. Other than that, pretty good video as always

Thought something looked off there..

Wait. Why did you zoom in on Bless? Did you have a problem fighting BLESS?! Although I had 3 problem characters. But after I finally beat them for the 1st time they became easier on refights. Those 3 where: Crack (Fat Joe), Chiang, and David (GOODMN) Banner. My GOO i got tired of that victory rap. I'm from the M, I, crooked letter, crooked letter, I, crooked letter, crooked letter, I, hump back, hump back, I, make ya wanna die!

If the core idea is strong enough, it'll survive your shortcomings.

I came to comment : "what the hell? This is great"

I kinda disagree. I don't think the game is very good, a large part of that being how broken it is.

The game was awful

@@ZootedBeaver wrong

Good luck trying to get Kotick on board. He's in the middle of a legal *warzone* right now.

As a Twinsanity fan, I concur.

Agreed, played all crash bandicoot games and twinsanity is my favourite! The music is too good Ahhh a Twinsanity remake would be amazing☺

@@TheEmperorHyperion what Kotick did?

Nah bruh They gonna remake the insane trilogy first😂

The ost of Twinsanity is one of the strongest points of the game. Very cool and full of personality.

@@TheJosethemaster true the music of Twinsanity was and is still awesome and has been used a lot by Crash Bandicoot fan projects, heck I even love it. So great man. 😏👌

The music is one of the best things in that game, i would be up for nother game with something like that.

Kinda reminds me of Earthworm Jim.

@GenerationWest Yep, they got our hopes up and then smashed them to pieces. The fourth game should have been a huge thing but I feel like because of technical issues it got brought down quite a bit. The fact the only console besides the new ones obviously that could play it at a consistent 60 fps was the XBone X. With literally pretty much everything else struggling at about 40 and no option to lock it to 30 for some reason.

Indeed. I’m honestly surprised that a cappella isn’t utilized more.

I've never played the game but from what I've heard, I think I'd be ready to play it solely for the music

I completely forgot about the ost for twinsanity, when the music kicked in at 8:30 it felt like a core memory had been unlocked lol.

Nina's theme absolute 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The only OST on par is Terry S Taylor's Neverhood and Skullmonkeys soundtracks

@@joshhallam6342 Y'all are gonna get real blindsided when Wumpa League gets announced

Such a waste. Let them do more Crash!

@@TyroKitsune They are doing more Crash

@@TyroKitsune I don't even care about them doing more Crash at this point, I just want them to get to finally make Star Control III. They have been trying to make that game since 1992, and they were just about to finally start working on it when it had to be delayed because of Stardock's copyright fuckery.

@@TyroKitsune crash?? SPYRO NEEDS HIS CHANCE AT A 4TH GAME! its long overdue. Enough with crash!

But it’s very overrated in the crash community

@@vrotYT Most Crash people like it because it is diferent and don't treat like if it was as good as the ND games in the first place. Exept those that grew up with it and they are usually upfront about it (0 issues with that, my favorite of all time is A Crack in Time, a game full of plotholes and incredible ammounts of cut content thanks to an inmovable deadline)

hello

@@games_on_phone89 pidr

Cortex: How I envy the simple life of the tribes folk... Tribe Chief: belly dances *applause*

I feel more bad for the TT studio behind WOC who were forced to make it in under a year vs Twinsanity devs who had way more time but decided to waste most of it conceptualizing and scrapping ideas.

Also the sad thing is the team wants to finish it but with the state Activision is in (basically everyone does COD now) that might not happen which is a shame as in my opinion while held many traditional parts of Crash the game did also new things giving you more wide 3D environments instead of just paths which while most of the game kept that all way these others areas could have shown what could have been.

maybe that's why they named a character after it :v

God damn..

The TT Games studio who developed those LEGO games previously worked on Crash Bandicoot before?!

*What's stopping them from doing a trilogy on your soul*

And CoD is holding ActiBillz on match-sticks even though they could have diversify their portfolio. (How Bobby still CEO considering that even Wall Street hates him?)

Well activision is now under the leash of microsoft so there is hope

It honestly has a lot of heart put into it, even with most of the issues it feels like it came from a place of love.

It is crazy to think that sometimes the passion from developers makes games that are unfinished with inmovable deadlines still turn out good. 2 of my favorite games of all time suffer from this...

The games charm is definitely what kept its longevity going for people to remember it if they played it or grew up with it (like me).

@@MazTheOriginalGod Me too, well not that I stopped pirating but it was the first game I pirated and then after finishing buying it

Huh sounds interesting to me

@@MazTheOriginalGod While I'm not a pirate, Psychonauts 2 was one of the few games I paid full price for. Normally, I wait for sales to purchase big games, but for this one I make an exception. It earned my money.

Dang!

Yeah its really sad honestly, their only mistake was not having enought time

Depends on how it's executed cause all of its cut content isn't gonna guarantee good game.

@@MSCLeap75 The game was really good ALREADY

@@duby3292 It was not really good being so buggy and unfinished, but I get why it has its fans. It definitely did good in the humor department.

@@MSCLeap75 Was more than the humour, the gameplay was genuinely good. Most of the unfinished stuff I can remember was in the cutscene animations

Honestly I would love that concept and it would throw the doors wide open for adorable and awesome cosmetic ideas for Crash and Coco.

As long as it's not super balls to the wall hard.

And it's not like it wasn't done previously - Gex executed that.

It doesn't replicate the classic game well at all, and the open world is done way better in lots of games before it.

@@MSCLeap75 none of the games before it had open world...

@@FreekinEkin2 He means that other games did the open world better. Jak and Going Commando were out by this point.

@@MSCLeap75 It is it's own Crash game. And it's use of open world is still good for what it is. It's a fine game on it's own and has a lot going for it.

@@111TheViper Taste is subjective. In this case, Twinsanity has a lot of positives in spite of its negatives that make it a very enjoyable experience. So no. Not really someone having bad taste. Now, someone thinking CoD is the best game ever is bad taste.

TOD was amazing, and ACiT was even better

@@dotproduct335 Especially considering the absolute hell that was the development they went through. Htf is Crack in Time as good as its with only 9-10 months of development is the question of life.

Twinsanity is literally nothing without Cortex, since he held the whole game together.

Very true.

@@MSCLeap75 soy

I've always really liked how Crash has knee pads seemingly built into his pants.

@@MSCLeap75 Nah. The levels, music and humor were also very good factors of the game.

Thanks for that. The end of this episode made me depressed as I thought we would never get a Crash 5.

He's not entirely wrong. Regardless of if Wumpa League ever comes out (Which is super weird they haven't announced yet) most of the people who worked on it were already either laid off from Toys for Bob or are now working on COD: Warzone. So, while I do agree with you that there's more Crash on the way, the people who were basically responsible for his comeback were either fired or put to work in the COD Mines. So the franchise is kind of in a weird spot right now, no matter how much Activision and it's social media is trying to pretend that everything is a-ok.

Can Vicarious Visions make it instead? TFB's Crash game sucked.

@@KeyBladeMaster-Dan The artstyle wasn't even that impressive to me.

Unfortunately, several employees of Toys for Bob that worked on Crash 4 and the Reignited Trilogy of Spyro have left the studio.

Depends if Activision decides to risk remastering it despite is very poor sales and mixed receptions.

Simon

Activision: Good work on the Crash Bandicoot games Toys for Bob. Now off to the CoD dungeon with you! Say hello to Raven Software for me while you're there.

Haven was ahead of it's time like the Dreamcast! Bless you sweet call of the king! lol

That's brilliant. That would have been an amazing subversion of the mid 2000s tropes.

The humor is definitely one thing they got right.

@@MSCLeap75 I dont think the game is very funny to be honest, besides some few scenes with Cortex is very forced and cringy for the most part. I even had more fun with the CTTR humour (mostly thanks to the park drones), or even the subtle funny moments of the trilogy.

That's if it was actually good, which it wasn't.

It actually wasn't good being all buggy and rushed.

@@MSCLeap75 idk about that, have you ever actually played it? you rarely get actual bugs, most of the game's problems are from it not running very well in later levels

@@maxithalo7796 Pretty sure I played it more than most people, and it's the most glitchy Crash game. It was the first game in my life where I can die from an invisible enemy. I'm not saying it's as buggy as Sonic 06, but bugs are more likely to occur in this game compared to most Crash games. And this game has other issues besides glitches that don't make it good, such as bad checkpoints, unskippable cutscenes, & bad stage direction.

@@maxithalo7796 Even if it wasnt for its bugs, i dont see what other see that is so great to be consider the best of all. Even Spyro on the PS1 do the open world much better.

@@MSCLeap75 I think it was only buggy in the ps2.

Well, as long as there are more crunch time, allegations, rushed deadlines and more.... Is endless :3

I'd love to know what went on behind the scenes of Thief 4. Was apparently a shitshow.

How many bad games are there in the market?

@@FLUFFYJOE13 at least 5

@@masknzgamer Why did I hear this in the voice of Scott the Woz?

Heyoooo

It sold too poorly for that to ever happen.

@@MSCLeap75 Na could still happen if fans want it enough

Dude. We get it, you don’t think it was a good game. Stop being a negative Nancy in the comments and let others be happy about a game they enjoyed.

​@@starboy35tcoos First of all, who are you to tell me what to do on the internet? How can I stop you and others, who love to circle jerk this mediocre/poor game to death on the internet, from enjoying the game just by criticizing it or spitting out facts that you don't like about it? Just as you're free to praise it to high heavens despite knowing evidence that the game's simply not good, I'm free to critique this poorly made Crash game that ruined my experience of the series. I'm not attacking you from liking the game, I'm just attacking the game that I wasted $50 on for a miserable Crash Bandicoot experience. Hate when you guys take it so personally when I'm just simply bashing the game not the people that like it. Getting really tired of people like you getting butthurt at me for criticizing a game that's not even a 7-8/10, because this shows that you can't handle opinions differing from yours about this game or facts about it not being good. And that's a childish way to handle a game you like being negatively received. There are plenty of fucking mainline Crash games(ND & post ND) I like, that are much better made than Twinsanity, that gets heavily bashed on while Twinsanity has this sweet cult of fans that act like it's the saving grace of the series when evidence proves otherwise. But I'm not personally attacking Twinsanity fans just for simply liking the game cause I can handle differing opinions and I can still enjoy the games I like despite the hate they get on the internet(ultimate echo chamber of opinions). So if you're calling me a negative Nancy, then I better not catch you crapping on any Crash game in the series.

@@starboy35tcoos Also maybe you should stop wasting your time monitoring RU-vid comment sections acting like you can gatekeep what people can say on it when you don't agree with them.

I concur. I don't hate the game like most people, but it does have the makings for a good WH? episode. Plus there's more stuff coming out recently about all the cut content.

Dudes weird we don't need him

They did a collab on the spyro episode. But yeah if maximilian dood collab with matt a lot I don’t know why he can’t collab with caddy again.

Or the Future saga. I dipped my toes into Tools of Destruction's development and how the fuck that did that game not turn out a dumpster fire, much less a good game, baffles me. And ACiT... htf Insomniac managed to squeeze that game in less than a year of full development makes me scream internally.

@@Djordje_Jovanovic fair :) but is only a mention at the end of the video, the movie has a crazy dev story that I would love to hear in this narrative style

I'm so sad that the DS version of that game isn't as good as I thought when I was a kid

@@lagartijamuerta We all think bad games were better than they were as children. I actually played Sonic Chronicles to completion on the DS back in the day

A very messy game with an incredibly bad ending [made worse by the heavy sequel bait for a sequel that never had a chance of happening] that was written as ripoff biblical allegory, just with a smearing of star wars over the top. I played it when I was a kid, and loved it. I was a very... very stupid child.

@@TwistedChungus what the fuck?

​@@setsers1 It was a reply to EnragedEric's question about Haven: Call of the King [which I probably could've made clearer]. Reading my comment, without the... experience... of seeing the game yourself probably *does* kinda make me come off as a raving lunatic, doesn't it...?

He really was fooled into thinking it was a literal birthday party, hence why he's holding a cake & looking around confused.

Whiplash was God fucking awful. The official promo art was the only decent thing about it. Wonder if there's a story there.

@@monasteryfounder I never played it, but I did like the art. I'm not surprised, though.
