Crash Bandicoot Co-Creator Criticizes N. Sane Trilogy's Jump Mechanics

Andy Gavin, co-creator of Crash Bandicoot, praised the remake for its visuals but criticized the altered jumping mechanic, which he believes lost the nuanced control of the original game due to the simplified fixed jumps instead of the original's dynamic, input-sensitive system. He also shared insights on how Crash succeeded in Japan through significant localization changes, including audio and voice-over adjustments, highlighting the importance of cultural adaptation in game success.
