Adding New Features

Because this is a remaster plus, we have an opportunity to add features.

Choosing new features is a difficult process. We consider numerous things, including the team’s ideas and fan requests, but perhaps our most important consideration is the evolution of the franchise itself. Naughty Dog learned a lot of lessons on how to refine the Crash formula over the course of making three games. So, the first new features we’ve worked on take the best of each of the games and apply them to all three.

Here are some work-in-progress examples:

• Unified checkpointing & save game system. This includes manual and auto-saving. (Yes, the first game now has a proper save game system!)
• Unified menu system. Here an example of the Pause menu for Crash Bandicoot:
• Eagle-eyed readers will notice something special about this Pause Menu.
• Time Trials in all three games!

These aren’t the only new features for the N. Sane Trilogy. However, that’s all we’re going to share for today.
