The Strange Story of Crash Bandicoot: Retro Hijinx 

Crash Back In Time is what Guyus wishes Retro Hijinks was

I can understand not wanting to support the newer games because of Activision as a company, but to hate them without playing them is something else. This dev is insane.

I don't think Guyus hates new Crash because he can't buy the game, he actually mentions that he finds it hard to socialise because his interests don't align with people his age, and I'd say that's probably what the issue for him is. Crash, for him, is something in the past and part of his childhood and seeing it modernised brings it into the modern world which he detests and feels like he doesn't belong in. Fun fact btw from listening to your debates, I'm pretty sure Guyus uses a voice modulator. The only part where he isn't using it is when he says "can you hear me now?" at the beginning of the second part.

So in other words we should call Crash Retro HiJinx Crash Bandicoot Lotus

Yep. This is why he's more like YandereDev than Chris-Chan

He reminds me of the ND Crash purists in 2000s and early 2010s. It’s interesting the sentiment has shifted a lot over the years since his type was pretty common. It’s like he got stuck in a time loop. It’s weird his criticisms would have been agreed with before Crash had a revival.

The Virgin retro hijinx vs the Chad Back in time

I should remind you that he also "stole" a few of my fan made Crash Bandicoot tracks, such as the melody and claimed that he came up with the idea.

Personally I think the guy had this project on his PC for a long time before the NS trilogy was announced so he wanted to be THE guy who revived crash bandicoot so when the NSane game come out and he couldn't take that tittle he become mad about it

The sad thing is that this project shows a lot of promise, just a bit more time in the oven. What a shame

Bro thought he could do better than toys for bob 💀

On Guyus, if I were in charge of the next Crash game or even a movie, I would make him the villain - An insane, deranged raptor who seeks to destroy and rewrite the world just to bring things back to the "good old days".

This 30 year old man and RH are the prime example of what NOT to do when making a fangame. Fangames are supposed to be about passion. Creating something to pay tribute to the franchise regardless of what you think of some of the official games. Creating games like this in a desperate attempt to take the fans' attention away from the official products because of how much he hates the modern games, as well as adding malware to remove two games he hates (which I'm pretty sure is illegal), only proves to me that RH could never, nor will it ever be the "Sonic Mania" of Crash Bandicoot.

I was unfortunate enough to be in a Discord server with Guyus about 2 years ago. He’s always been VERY mentally unstable and 100% genuine with his views. I remember trying to give him some advice on how to make his game look less like a cheap unity asset flip. Looking at the footage here, it seems like he actively ignored my advice. lol Anyways, he ended up getting booted from that same server after getting mad about Netflix movie adaptations, calling someone mentally ill and eventually saying they should kill themself. Even before he got booted he was always whinging about the current state of Crash and Ducktales, always on thin ice. It’s funny since it’s been 2 years since I’ve actually interacted with him, I see people still talking about him from time to time without having to even actively look for it. That’s how I came across this video actually!

For some extra info on the person, He has a macro fetish and makes animations based on this stuff, including some of his characters that are confirmed minors So this IS Crash Bandicoot's Spider-Man Lotus

Crash Bandicoot Back in Time is a thousand miles better than this Retro Hijunks.

Honestly I can understand satirical jokes mocking other games (If the jokes actually land) but the way this guy has executed his game is purely hateful, I couldn't imagine any of these people who were doing lets plays in this video being comfortable because this level is just disturbing, unoriginal and boring, at least make some kind of dry humour joke like modern sitcom cartoons like Family guy make..

I was in the discord group when this game was starting out production. Guyus was the admin of the group. I was never active in the group but the guy kept messaging me and I ignored most of it. Eventually it got annoying so I just left the server and removed Guyus. I remember seeing a lot of hate for Crash 4 and anything new Crash related, like the N. sane trilogy. Never knew he'd go to such lengths as getting rid of the games from your computer with this. Seems like I dodged a bullet.

I'm glad that in the Brazilian Crash Bandicoot fandom we are all friendly with each other and we don't have any crazy people like that lol great video brother +1 subscriber

So this guy hates the new crash games despite NEVER playing it and made a fan game that was basically a virus that would deleted the new crash games from your computer The question is, how did he manage to put a virus that would delete games that he never own in the first place, wouldn't that required owning the games in order for the virus to work?

"Say no to Windows 11" bro's beefing with Windows 11.

Clearly he has a severe mental illness. In some ways I can understand how he feels about the classics - I had mad arguments about the FF7 remake online. Of course, my claim was that the remakes are disrespectful to me as a fan of turn-based RPG, not that anyone who likes them should die. And yet, I can feel his passion for respecting the classic. Of course, I can't feel for him being a horrible human being...

If the hole problem with the new crash games is that he can't afford them why can't he just pirate them Why does everyone just forget piracy exists lmao

he said he'd put my Reddit avatar in the game hanging from a noose, but I think he couldn't figure out how to hang a circular frog😂

I'm sad and upset in the same time when I think about this guy, sad because it's clear that he has a burning passion for Crash, upset because this passion is turning him in some kind of nazi-fan who started a war against videogames, game companies and even people.. I would say "Better leave him alone, stop moking him bevause people like him are the worst enemies of themselfs" but this is what you get when you act like him on internet, It's unuseful to blame others for the behaviour of someone who actually started all of this.

The lengths this guy goes to is insane. My friend is mod of the sub Reddit and told me a lot of crazy stuff this guy has done(even tho he is already banned from the sub. He just continues in peoples Dms). Including sending people who disagree with him a video how he acts like he is hanging himself.

There's gonna be a definition for those case of fan proyects that turned into a very mess stuff, like "Lotused proyect" or "the Lotus of"

I will never forgive him for depicting my old fursona in cold blood.

Games creepy as hell, animals being hung from nooses?! If he got over his hate, and looked at his game as a fan thing. Remove all the fucked up shit, and malware. The game might not be too shaby. Or he could embrace it, and it could slowly devolve into more horror. Make a crash creepypasta game. That'd be kinda interesting, use only canonical crash characters though.

Had a run in with Guyus and spent a good while deep diving into as much as I could after the encounter 😅 Thanks for compiling info about them and their game!

I once commented under one of retro hijinx trailers that it looks near but after finding out that he sees his game as the superior replacement of the activision games I regret commenting that...

Jesus fuck. I mean, if all of the bad shit wasn't there this coulda been a cool fangame. Mental health is no joke.

Not a fan of the impression of his voice. People should get dunked on for their actions not voice

if someone doesn’t like the newer names and/or doesn’t want to play them, that’s perfectly fine. But in Guyus case, he has way too much of an obsession hating the newer ones, to the point of calling people the hard R for disagreeing and do several other things that were shown in the video. After all this, I’m really just hoping Guyus can get some therapy, because whatever happened in the past messed him up extremely badly in the head.

nice video man! u definitely deserve a sub 👍

It's always the people that have OCs that look ripped straight from early 2000s deviantart

I dont get it, I thought everyone agreed that Crash 4 is fantastic, I definitely think its better than the OG trilogy

Ever since one of your earlier videos had introduced me to this raptor fella, I've been constantly disgusted by this atrociously toxic combination of unmatched hubris and vitriolic spite. It's a great shame that people like that inhabit the crash fanbase

it looks like a mobile game using Unity.

This guy's fr the crash bash chris chan dear god-

Who’s worst Guyustheraptor or Smash Bandicoot?

I think i said this somewhere else but i don't know this guy outside of being weirdly annoying in a jimmy neutron server, didn't know he did whatever this stuff is

I've been watching this whole ordeal from afar, you know, as you do with people like this, and the one thing I've always found absolutely hilarious is how Guyus will spout slurs and other bigoted shit (his hatred towards Catbat specifically has an... Interesting flair to say the least) and be absolutely shocked people correct him or otherwise don't interact Because you know everyone's favorite first impression of another individual is being called a bundle of sticks who's special needs. Needless to say he's a fun basket case to observe but despite most people writing him off as "harmless" I don't think we should ignore his genuinely abusive behaviors and the more we bring them to the lime light, the better Anyway Retro Hijinx mid and looks ugly, play Crash 4 it has a beautiful evil woman and phenomenal art direction in it

“This game will save the franchise” Hah! That’s rich. *sips wine*

It's sad, since I remember seeing the gameplay of the test level and it looked good as far as possible, and the people looked delighted, myself included, then what we already know happened and the truth is that it disappointed me, how its creator, the That the fan game is made out of hate and not love is... depressing

3:41 Yeah, he insulted me from a year ago, so I'm done dealing with him and dealing my own problems, but seriously, Guyus needs to grow up and stop harassing people and especially me. But I'm seriously not being toxic to Activision's Crash N. Sane Trilogy, CTR Nitro-Fueled, Crash 4: It's About Time and Crash Team Rumble, I love these games, because they're brilliant masterpiece. But I wish he needs to stop bringing toxic to new Crash games, so I decided to ignore him. But he's still a manchild and a completely psychopath that he is. Seriously, he really is.

But seriously im confused how a “FAN GAME” can delete files of OFFICIAL “TRIPLE A GAME”

Legit sad cuz looking at the footage, this seems like most polished Crash 3D fan game yet. Last few were either cancelled or on indefinitive hiatus (hello, Crystal's Wrath). Wish someone removed the files that would delete the remakes and 4 off your PC, cuz I do want to try out his "take" on the series Funniest thing ever would be if someone gifts him the N. Sane Trilogy and he ends up liking it

Tak and the power of juju music at the end?

you're right about one thing, he doesn't own the IP at all, Activision does they've owned it since 2008 because Universal Interactive / Vivendi Games / Sierra Entertainment nearly killed the franchise, how do I know because I read the archives, Activision kept their promise to Naughty Dog to bring Crash back from the ground up in 4 remakes and follow up to the direct sequel Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time, but retro hijinx on the other hand it's not saving the crash franchise, the community or the fandom, it's destroying it, I've played the N. Sane Trilogy, Nitro Fueled and It's About Time along with Team Rumble too, I love them and I think they're very excellent games so retro hijinx is going to suck and it already has.

I hope Retro Hijinx has a part at the end where Crash says "Prepare for some Retro Hijinx",it would be more impactful than "Consider this your bad omen" and "It's Morbin Time".

Praying I live to see the day Guyus gets a redemption arc.

Ah yes... more lore!

I don't like when he misgendered all of us, him calling us women is stupid and disgusting when we're guys, he's afraid to admit that he's afraid of change and modern looks on crash bandicoot, there's nothing wrong with it, even though I do agree with you that he doesn't own the remakes and the new games either, I even warned my nephew and my half cousin about guyus and told them to not play or download his illegal malware virus fangame because it'll delete the files of the NST and IAT on steam, and also him sending false FBI reports on us is illegal in his country because the FBI is in the US and he does not live in the US he lives in Finland, he thinks I pestered him and I was jealous of him and also thinking I had skills of game development, I never said that, he made it up as a lie that he invented, he stole the classic IP design to claim it to be his just as he stole some tracks to claim it as his too, I do not wish him harm or anything else, I'm not a fool or an idiot, he needs to open his eyes and need to get a life. we don't need professional help, we're perfectly healthy and sane, guyus on the other hand he's the one that needs help, am I pestering him, no I'm not, I was telling the truth about him because he missed out new content and doesn't even care about that or even bother to get the remakes and the new games and play them and see that activision and the developers saved the crash bandicoot franchise, they didn't destroy it, they saved it from extinction and being forgotten and all of the units sold almost a billion because everyone loves it, so do I, because I own a PS4 and I got the NST, NF and IAT physically and I also got crash team rumble digitally, and also Travis the Dragon's right about one thing, guyus is a 30 year old guy who has complete and utter hatred of the remakes / reboots and revivals of franchises because he's afraid of change because in his eyes he thinks they're deformed, mutilated, abused and destroyed, he crossed the line by creating the monstrosity fangame of his and sending death threats is a crime and and him wanting to put their heads on a pike is gruesome and a sign of a hate crime. let me be very crystal clear here, there is nothing wrong with the remakes / reboots and revivals of the crash bandicoot fanchise, they're still the same thing as the originals just updated and upgraded to new / next generations of games, you know why, because I have love respect and support of the franchise and along with the past publishers/developers in the 90's and the current publishers and developers of their hard work, guyus is not saving the crash bandicoot franchise, I am, because I'm an old school OG crash bandicoot veteran fan of 28 years, it's best for all of you to block him, report him to the police and termainate his fangame, his social medias and his website too.

Great video,I really liked it👍 Oh and btw I thought that you would talk about a soundtrack since one track is dedicated to you with your name

Guyus mallow More like gayus mallware XD Ps:thanks to slayer for the idea

If I could, I would get a copy of the game and remove the malware, so people could play the game and shit on it for how god awful it is. Either that, or just remake the game from the ground up to be an actually passionate fan game & not be a hate project.

Third debate when

Didn't even know this was a thing/was happening. Bro, it's crash Bandicoot, it is not that fucking serious! In cases like this, I feel like the answer is so obvious and easy to understand. You don't have to play it to know how you feel about it, just watch gameplay and see what did work and didn't work for you and just go from there. Hide the negatives, accentuate the positives. Have fun with it, and while you can take it seriously, it shouldn't be to the point that it is now. You've tainted your own game and all the good will it may have had and the support of others can really take you far! Just lean into that and make your passion work for you. Jeez, this guy annoys me quite a bit. Thanks, Loaten. I hate it

When you said he hates the recent Crash games because he doesn’t own them I thought “C’mon man you know you can’t realistically acquire the IP of such a franchise”. But then it turns out more like that Super Paper Mario meme and I question why didn’t he like buy or, hell, pirate the games if the issue is he didn’t own a copy.

Smash Bandicoot cousin isn’t real he doesn’t hurt you Smash Bandicoot cousin:

I think this man is stuck in the past

I watched the video and You actually did well on it, Skylar. You acted like a true gamer and Fan-game developer that is awesome and wise, My hat is off to you, dude.

Oh god no a head on a pike in a video game

I mean, I can understand hating activision because, well, it’s activision, but this is ridiculous

5:19 i didnt expect smash to be mentioned lol Was he even in the crash community? he has a purple crash pfp and.....thats it

Someone I know I'm online warned me all about this no gooder. If I was to download a game, I'd rather download one that spams decoy notifications annoyingly, than one that would fatally cripple my PC with malware.

I love the internet

hey you!, you can playcrash bandicoot back in time 0.95v

I think it could be funny if another crash fan grabs guyus game, and deletes the virus, the hate and propaganda this game has. I think that could be some kind og poethic justice

how do you fail so hard at making a fangame?

This guyas guy is not fine in the head

Vanity Project 👎 Fanity Project 👎 Fanilla Vanilla Rubber Baby Buggy Bumpers Project 👍

Awesome video, TheLoaten17. 🙂👍 Also, now that I'm thinking about Guyus' toxicities online, I've seen him attacking and harassing others on DeviantArt which those violates DeviantArt's policy. And now knowing that he hasn't played the Activision Crash games and hates them, that does not give him a right to attack people, who enjoys the Activision Crash games, with those hate-filled harassment posts on both DeviantArt and RU-vid. Plus, I played the Activision Crash games (both the N. Sane Trilogy and Crash 4) and they're still playable and I have enjoyed playing Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fuelled, since I'm fun with Spyro, Crash, Coco and Tawna as my mains. So yeah, I actually liked the Activision Crash games such as Crash N. Sane Trilogy, Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fuelled and Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time, but is it a bad thing? No. But dose this give Guyus the right to harass me? Again, the answer is no. Like I said before, even I liked the Activision Crash games, I still liked the Naughty Dog Crash games to this day, just like I liked both the Modern Sonic games and the Classic Sonic games (even despite there're few rare exceptions, regardless of their qualities). Guyus the Raptor is NOT saving the Crash Bandicoot franchise, he's actually ruining the series with his crappy game called Crash Bandicoot: Retro Hijinx and if you want a better Crash Bandicoot fangame with PS1-style graphics and gameplay, play and support Crash Bandicoot: Back in Time. Never play Retro Hijinx, instead avoid Retro Hijinx. #BoycottCrashRetroHijinx #SupportCrashBackInTime

thegamerfrommars i know that's you. you ain't slick.

Guyus should've just focused on his stupid game getting finished already, minus the hatred vibe, it really broke that 'geniune' immersion that he wanted to implement so badly. Glad I never played Retro Hijinx once, a textbook example of "how to not make a fangame", not to mention, shovelware levels of bad.

Thought this was about ANOTHER bandicoot IYK,YK 💀

There probably is a story to tell here, but doing a mocking impersonation of someone with mental issues is kinda a step to far for my likeing, if your telling a story, go ahead, but even if the parties involved are horrible people, Please be respectful

Can you talk about smash bandicoot i want to know

this guy is like a parody of crazy fans like i get why someone would be biased against the newer games even over very minor things i haven't played the new cash games just because i am lazy they seem better than the "titans" era games and a return to the old school crash but i am always sceptical of the new games. but i am an adult i am not going to start this much drama over really any video game let alone one that isn't even bad. like i would get a little salty if they made the newer crash games like a mobile fortnite clone or have the original game play but turn crash unto a zoomer that vapes and having a mumble rap soundtrack .but they didn't do that and even then i would just be complaining in the comments not making a game with malware to just hate on it

The only good vanity project is probably Snoot Game.

Spider-Man Lotus/Sonic Omens of Crash Bandicoot.

I'm shocked someone can be this spiteful with a fan game (and with games he won't play), dude really puts Sonic Omens and Spider-Man Lotus to shame

christ you're obsessed with that guy

why do fangames like sonic omens and crash retro hijinx always have controversy

the game look like ai

I'm glad I wasn't aware of this game, so I should consider this video as a warning on being wary of fan games like this, before it's too late. Though to be honest, I don't like Activision for what they represent in the modern age. But I will say compared to this, their mainline Crash games look much more enjoyable, much more faithful to the source material, aren't littered with creepypasta content and most importantly, are much less likely to damage my computer!

If this isn't 🤡 behavior, I don't know what is. I mean, look at Guyus. He is unbelievably lame

Damn he really want sweet sweet revenge huh this guy is insane ngl and he think he can do better than toys for bob 💀

Bro has already making hate community posts about you like the crybaby he is lmao

Sounds like your typical r/crashbandicoot user lol

Crash Bandicoot: Retro Hijinks is officially the worst fanmade game by Guyus the Raptor ever, and I do agree Guyus is seriously the worst Crash fan, I mean, he needs to grow up and stop living the 90's and stop bashing people's opinions, just like Trollsbandtogether Fan2001 was bashing people's opinions because Trollsbandtogether Fan2001 is definitely the worst RU-vidr ever, I mean, Trollsbandtogether Fan2001 and Guyus the Raptor are bunch of man children, you know I mean?

He once said the F slur

#crashbandicootisalreadybacklol

Maybe, I'm a softie, but I don't get down with mocking someone's mental health. I know Guyus does horrible things, like telling people, including minors to "unalive" themselves, but I feel like you could have been the bigger person and kept this video more professional. I don't know, I could be wrong tho. Still holding out hope that Guyus gets the mental help that he needs.

Damn! I’m not a fan of Crash 4 either but this guy takes it way too far!

Where's Nintendo when you need them? Oh wait, Crash Bandicoot is a Playstation IP, not Nintendo.

bro actually thinks that new crash entries are good, lol and lmao

Why are you trashing people that have worked so hard on a project that they love and dedicate so much on?

This doesn't even deserve a review😂
