I'm pretty psyched about it actually. Listening to the soundtrack again just made me hyped and they've captured a lot of the old stuff in this demo. graphics are neat, music is on point, sound effects are all there (nit picking on the wumpa fruit sound) and the animations look decent. You're 100% right about the lighting. I think needs to be more ominous in some sections like the temples and such, but overall I'm really happy with its direction. It's even holding the same level of difficulty too which I'm hoping stays constant
Can't wait to see what happens next, not just for crash but any old titles that might see the light of day again with the same treatment as this game.
With soulstorm on the way I really hope they keep looking back and doing this type of stuff. I'd adore a remastered medievil or unholy war. Hell, I think parapa is getting something done too.
