These videos are just early stage examples of how a Crash Bandicoot HD remaster could work if the powers at be ever consider it. The games have been rendered in 1080p with proper aspect ratio correction and rendering as much as possible that these games can handle in the off screen space. The music is the original "Pre-Console Mix" versions that the games composer, Josh Mancell, has uploaded to his SoundCloud page over the years. For this I've taken those tracks, looped them accordingly and synced them to gameplay.

Textures have been left untouched and not filtered to show areas that would easily benefit from updated textures/cleaned up textures if these games were ever re-built for a HD Collection. The rest of the demonstration was put together by myself in just a couple of days, now imagine what an actual studio could do if they gave this the proper treatment these games deserve for the 20th Anniversary of Crash Bandicoot!

PS: Gameplay is not meant to be a show of skill, I've just quickly played through these levels for the first time using an Xbox 360 controller (which to me feels really weird and off for these games)
