Crash Bandicoot Returns in Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy

[Bindal]

Are the visuals really that off putting to some people? I mean, I know what it's like to have my favourite game get a butchered HD remake, but it's not like the Crash games ever looked very good, or had an artstyle/atmosphere that has now been ruined by this update. The worst I can say is that the updated visuals combined with the older animations makes it look a bit odd. But apart from that it looks like a very charming little remaster.

It looks like one of these

Okay, but then how should a Crash remaster have looked? I'm talking specifically about the visuals here, because we knew they weren't going to do anything with the gameplay; It was just going to be a visual upgrade.

What makes it look worse than the original?

At least how Crash himself would look best remastered, that's probably an improvement. It also has the proper Wompa Fruit Sound.
For the levels themselves, I think the N-Sanity Trilogy looks better.

The thing is that nothing really blends all that well, the lighting is off, the crash model doesnt mix well with the scenario and in the end everything looks kind of basic.

Not that it looks worse then the original but that it looks ugly.
This is an example of a good "visual" transition

What is everyone here smoking, complaining about how it looks off and what not?
