the crash bandicoot trilogy for ps4 which is replacing absolutely everything in the games in terms of assets but keeping the level layouts identical and bringing it all up to 4k is a remaster. remake vs remaster is a category however where yes, you could say trying to differentiate between the two may simply come down to semantics. however comparing that to a port absolutely isnt just "semantics".

This is a side point to the original argument this came up in, but tbh I really don't see at all why anyone should believe that the N Sane trilogy isn't a remake. Pretty much everything I've seen and read about what they plan to do for the collection sounds more or less like the remakes that Nintendo already does (not so much Majoras Mask 3D, but definitely closer to Ocarina of Time 3D and Star Fox 64 3d) or looking at the Halo 1 remake or etc.

Like, if anyone were to read only this quote from the director of the collection:

quote:

Using the original level geometry from Naughty Dog as a guide, we rebuilt the Crash gameplay from scratch, capturing its simplicity and precision. As the levels began to take shape, we layered in our own lush and zany art, animation, and audio.

I'd figure that most people would read this as remake rather than remaster given the words "rebuilt" and "our own art/animation/audio". Looking up Video Game Remake in wikipedia pretty much lines up with this too, and even the section for Video games on the Remasters article brings up how nebulous the term applies to video games.*

The only thing that really says it's a remaster is just cause Vicarious Visions seem to be calling it that themselves as a "remaster plus". Which is a super dumb term that sounds like it's purely marketing (which we've seen a lot here, given that this is the Nintendo thread).


*Obviously, Wikipedia isn't the end-all-be-all of definitions here

Make an extremely good game even though it wasn't the standard BK platformer? Nuts and Bolts owned.

Even taking Nuts and Bolts as it's own thing, the game is still rather tedious and never really fun to control imo. I'm super mixed on Rare platformers, but even I think Nuts and Bolts really just wasn't doing anything good execution wise.

I loved Banjo-Kazooie & Banjo Tooie, but I couldn't play more than an hour or two of Nuts and Bolts. That game sucked.

I hope the map feature is a really awesome QOL improvement that makes everyone mad that it was delayed to be dlc months after they got done with the game.

Also, now that we've actually played the game what do we think the dlc is gonna be. New map feature sounds like it could be a new collectible or type of structure to find, and a new dungeon sounds not great if it's gonna be essentially another Divine Beast. Those were by far my least favorite parts of the game. New game plus or hard mode sounds good as hell.

I liked the beasts just fine but they were not a substitute for a classic dungeon. The castle was the closest it came, in terms of complexity as well as feel, and above that still kept that BOTW exploration vibe with multiple paths and entrances. If it was another area like that I'd be happy.

It's probably got both versions of the text on it, just like Zelda does. Generally there's no reason to take out those files anymore.

All ice cream is now for all beings, no matter how many legs.


The US Disgaea games have always had both English and Japanese as mix and match for voice over and subs. It has an anime story, but if you do the end game stuff under 0.01% of your time playing it will involve the story if that's a turnoff. I have it on Playstation, and might pick it up again at some point for a mobile copy, but Persona just came out so I have something to do until Mario Kart already (just not on the switch).

That is my understanding that everything shows up in the main screen but someone who's actually done it should say so.
