'Crash Bandicoot' PS4 Release Date: Remastered graphics compared to PS1 in new video
Nostalgia tends to make us think old video games looked a lot better than they actually did. Case in point: Crash Bandicoot. With the news that a remastered version of the original trilogy is coming to PS4 sometime in 2017, Digital Foundry compared the original game to the remastered Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy side-by-side.
Not only does it show how gorgeous the new version is, but it'll also be a rude awakening for those of you who thought the original looked pretty good back in 1996.

The video makes it pretty clear that the remastered version of Crash Bandicoot for PS4 is a vast improvement over the original. In addition to simply comparing them visually, Digital Foundry also found that the levels of the N. Sane Trilogy they tested ran smoothly at 30 frames per second, a generally accepted benchmark for solid performance on a gaming console.
