Croc Remastered Confirmed date.

i do love if Croc somehow contributed to console war discourse, as it was originally a 3rd party Yoshi title that nintendo shelved then themselves became heavily inspired by for mario64.

I remember this from people complaining that it was less known than Banjo-Kazooie, despite selling about the same amount, and thus somehow proving the existence of Nintendo-centric bias among retro gamers.

God I remember at least a quarter of my PS1 library were Fox Interactive published Video Games. Die Hard Trilogy 2, Croc 1 & 2, Micro Maniacs...

It was also going to be a 3D Yoshi game for Nintendo 64, but Nintendo denied the project.

Argonaut has been dead for 20 years, now?
It was a great studio that really pushed the hardware to the limit back in the days. Alien Resurection being the best looking FPS on PSX.

I don't know who's wearing that Argonaut's skin nowadays, but it seems kind of cheap to go the remaster cashgrab route.

No it would be cheap to take their IPs and make low tier mobile games from it based on Asset Flips

Yeah, well, an asset flip would at least mean new maps and gameplay. We got a remaster, it's even cheaper.

The original founder, Jez Sen. Lots of the original team are back together.

I don't see a problem with it, their mission statement is agreeable, I like their games and innovations, plus they strike fear into the heart of all Banjo Kazooie fans.

The behind-the-scenes stuff and new interviews with the old geezers who made the game sounds really neat. I always enjoy stuff like that.

I only read the announcement pdf on their site. Sounded like standard marketing, they're relly excitedTM. I *liked* their games and innovations as well. We've yet to see how this one will go, hopefully I'm wrong.

Speaking of Argonaut's innovations, I still have to play Starfox 64's glorious PC port and I'm in the middle of a run of Alien Resurrection on Duckstation, upscaled, 60 fps and stereoscopic 3D / VR. This game is really vicious, I love it and I'm sure they'll never remaster it.

I'm happy this game is relevant again. I'm just worried it will be hated again because of the tank controls.
