Croc: Legend of the Gobbos (2024) - Teaser Trailer

HD remaster of the first Croc title will be released for “all the current consoles and PC". There’s no specific release date beyond “2024” at the moment.

Here’s an article with additional info and screen shots. Main points:

  • HD graphics keeping the original art style
  • updated controls
  • digital museum containing development assets, design documents, concept art and more

I remember this well from my childhood, so it was nice to see that trailer. I love how they seem to have barely changed anything except higher res textures and models. I’ll be looking at getting this when its out.

I like the idea of the digital museum. Would be nice if remakes of games would include stuff like that about the original. If the remake isnt faithful to the original (faithful like the Resident Evil remake from 2002 was faithful, or something like Metroid Prime Remastered but an actual remake), then at the very least remakes should include a copy of the original game playable on the same device, either as a port or via emulation.

As much as I like this idea I don’t think many publishers would look at it and said anything other than “yeah, not worth the money”. We probably have a higher chance for the classic versions landing on GoG than being added as a freebie to a remake - they want you to play the new shiny thing, not the old one after all (that and no need to provide support to the old version).

I’d love to see developers and publishers start to do this. Though I am interested in Tomb Raider and how they handle the graphic toggling, which seems like a half-way point to what you’re describing.

I played the original countless times as a kid! It was a great platformer hindered by the tank controls, which unfortunately led me to prefer Spyro. If there ever was a game in need of a remaster (as opposed to a remake), it’s this one. Update the controls, and the game itself is still a lot of fun.

Essence_of_Meh OP ,

I’ve seen a lot of comments about the controls and I don’t really get it. I’ve played through both games about two years ago, I think, and didn’t have any problems with either of them. Maybe I’m just used to the jank due to playing a lot of older games but I remember both titles playing fine.

I’m curious how they’ll modernize the controls. The little gameplay present in this teaser looks pretty close to the original and I don’t think they talked about this in detail. Whatever they’ll do I just hope it’ll allow people to play and enjoy this little gem. It deserves it.
