For today’s episode of War Stories, Ars Technica sat down with Naughty Dog Co-founder Andy Gavin to talk about the hurdles in bringing the original Crash Bandicoot to gamers around the world. When Andy and his partner Jason Rubin made the decision to bring the action platforming genre into three dimensions, it required living up to their company ethos of “leaving no stone unturned” in the search for memory - even if it meant hacking Sony’s library code.

because many of the techniques he used still isn't used today and probably has had these things picked at by even modern game developers today, trying to fit huge levels into small RAM spaces, like Minecraft still has issues with not letting go of some of the levels with it's cache, they treat it always as "just in case they come back this way" this game basically NEEDED the disk and he used API that he created, he created framework that Playstation never bothered to make

You had to get creative with how you were gonna pack stuff in. And after that - since you couldn't just slap "Big Mommas RTX version 9.000" on the game and call it a day; You had to spend even more time on the game design itself.

@morgen3369 2 года назад

That also means that games were much more limited in scope. I have tons of respect for the guys back in the days, they were/are absolute units that helped video games to reach the peak. But today we also have masterfully made games with deep game design and striking visuals. You just don't have to be such a monster to create good things because there is much less limitations so you don't neet to push too hard to get what you want, and I don't think it's such a bad thing tbh.

Like first thing that comes to my mind is you can halve the resolution of the dimension - i.e. there is no real difference if a vertice moves 1 or 2 small units between frames if the animation is very expressive, so that saves you 1b per dimension per vertex already. Then I guess you could estimate (or actually check) what is your max value that you'll need and adjust the size of cell to that. And maybe some bit compression if it actually pays off and presto

There's a series of articles by Andy Gavin called "Making Crash Bandicoot" (which I coincidentally just read again immediately before this video was uploaded), which goes into more detail on a lot of the topics addressed in this video, and more. One humorous excerpt relevant to your comment is as follows: Andy had given [Sony employee] Kelly a rough idea of how we were getting so much detail through the system: spooling. Kelly asked Andy if he understood correctly that any move forward or backward in a level entailed loading in new data, a CD “hit.” Andy proudly stated that indeed it did. Kelly asked how many of these CD hits Andy thought a gamer that finished Crash would have. Andy did some thinking and off the top of his head said “Roughly 120,000.” Kelly became very silent for a moment and then quietly mumbled “the PlayStation CD drive is ‘rated’ for 70,000.” Kelly thought some more and said “let’s not mention that to anyone” and went back to get Sony on board with Crash.
