I would totally get this if it was ever released. Loved the original as a kid

1996 hell im so old wasn't this the game that shipped with the ps1 ?

" Wasn't Crash Bandicoot just a poor mans, Sonic or Mario? "

That's really awesome. More power to this guy. And another fantastic article by Patrick.

Alright, I'ma look for my old copies of Crash Bandicoot.

This was fantastic reporting and a great read.

Just seeing Crash as a big lump of orange clay lumbering around a Crysis jungle...

Mind blowing.

Pretty damned cool.  It makes me wish more developers made platformers like this still.  It seem just Ratchet & Clank are left from the mid 2000's heyday. 

Too cool.  I loved this game.  It was one of the first Ps1 games I ever got.

I would buy this in a heartbeat if it were actually released.

Why didn't he get the 'ooga booga' masks?

Patrick Klepek is a great thing for Giant Bomb.

I get really tired of people saying crap like that. Crash and Mario 64 have one thing in common: they are both 3D platformers. THAT IS ALL. "

Jank incarnate, but cool nonetheless.

This is great!
That guy is pretty weird!

Well... that was insane.

Wow that music brings back memories very impressive damn I would love to see someone remake metal gear solid 3 with the cryengine 2.

I have fond memories of the Cortex's Revenge and Warped. I would love to try this out once there's a little less jank.

NOSTALGIA <3 

@ptys:
no not at all

Wow, he made an awful version of an old game.

This makes me want a good crash game...and an even better new Spyro game. As a  kid coming from the ps1 to the gamecube I was tricked so easily into spyro: enter the dragonfly...ugh one of the worst gaming experiences as a kid to expect Year of the dragon quality and get that...ugh.

Anyways that'll never happen but here's to hoping new teams will put out good platforming from back in the day?? 

" @ptys:  You used the phrase "poor man's" which I took as you making a statement about the quality of the series. "

Heh,
I don't think Crash quite fits in with the realistic graphics.
But very cool, I played Crash 1 to 3 a lot.

Ah Crash Bandicoot. You haven't aged well even if I still love you.

Cool story...patrick!

That's pretty impressive for a one man effort and it being his first game to boot.

Looks so intense! lol

nice story

This is the kind of absurd I can get behind.

Why does this feel like a follow-up to Exit Through the Gift Shop? We have this French person with aspirations, and he's given much more attention than is deserved. I enjoyed this article, but I'm a little taken by the attention put into covering this little project. Thank you, Mr. Klepek, for this opportunity to pontificate.

I'm always amazed what people do when it comes to things like this. You can see the passion and drive that it takes to make it in the video game business. Very nice article, I enjoyed reading it.

thats awesome. i love modders

Excellent story Patrick, loved it.

that's crazy, i would have remade like the first metal gear game for the NES in the crysis engine if i knew how to do it.

"It's nice to see interesting articles like this now. "

great writeup, makes me miss the bugger.

I actually like the way it looks, nice job Mr. Lenox

I miss Crash Bandicoot.  Now I'm sad :(

If the gameplay was streamlined to feel like old Crash, I'd totally buy this. Full price, even. 

I always thought that Crash Bandicoot 1 was not only a great game, but also the best in the Crash series. I guess that's an unpopular opinion in multiple respects, but I would totally love to play a remake of Crash 1 in the Crysis engine.

You mean an actual story with interviews that didn't end in "we do not comment on rumours and speculation"? It's nice to read something that isn't just about possible announcement leaks, or is simply a press release rewritten to sound like an article. Kudos to Mr. Klepek for providing something interesting to read on a site that is very much driven by video content "

Mr. K, Welcome to GB! I really like your insight, and your writing is superb. Keep up the good work!

oh man more delicious reading on the site that is different from what the norm has been. Great stuff!

That video was mesmerizing.

Good job, Klepek. This is the kind of reporting I like.
