Crash Bandicoot: Road To Nowhere

I'm planning to make a level based on one of the levels from the classic Playstation 1 platformer game: Crash Bandicoot. I have download the game from the psn store and I am going away tomorrow so I will start on it then.

The level is called Road To Nowhere.
[Watch YouTube Video]
Note: The place he got to by riding on the see-through crystal is a bonus part of the level you can go to if you get up to that point without dieing. This is the same at the end of the level.

Spoiler - Ideas I shall be using.

For The Planks
the sensor will be attached to a piece of dissolve material that is holding up a square with a magnetic key on it. The magnetic key falls and activates the magnetic switch which is attached to one of the planks which will be made of dissolve material (or a piece of dissolve material holding the plank up). This means the planks won't disappear as you step on them but a second or so after like in the video.

For The Background
It will be easy for the background as in the video it is very foggy and you can only see some far away mountains. This would be easy as I would just turn up the fog and make some mountains out of light brown coloured stone or wood.

Thanks to Whaaaaale for giving me me an idea to start on with the planks. I will try this while I'm away and then update when I'm back.

cheers,

muttjones :D

OMG please do. I seriously loved Crash Bandicoot although Crash Bandicoot 2 was better in my opinion. Anyway i love the idea and let me know when it's over i'd love to give it a try! Good luck on it and let me know how it's going!

i love all of them! i like crash 1 better though because it was my first game ever and it has so many levels. :D

I owned all the Crash games so if this is done right it could be special :) Try to focus a lot on the color pallette, Crash games have a very vibrant look that would be amazing if you could duplicate it in LBP.

i'm trying to think which material or sticker would be best for the ground. it is a light dirt. I'll have to play it again.

If nothing in LBP works then create some custom stickers (assuming you have a PS eye) but I think with enough tinkering with the available materials you will be able to achieve the look you want.

I was seriously going to do that!

I played the game for a while before getting LBP and I thought to myself it'll be great if I recreate that!

Sandy Beach will be a bit hard, since it's 3D, but you can try all the other levels that are purely sidescrollers =D

Wasn't it "N.Sanity Isle"?
It definitely had "N.Sanity" in it...

I love the Crash games! They're simply the best 3D platformers. I wish you luck!

EDIT: Got the name! It's "N. Sanity Island"!

It was a brilliant game :) remember the turtle-like things!

Have you thought about moderation?...

I can't remember how old I was when I played this, but I remember that it was the best PS1 game EVER!

This level can't be an epic phail, anything based on that game is superb.

That is a point.. are you aloud to do a Crash Bandicoot level? It would be super sweet though, if you could. Considering it was like my favourite ever game until they introduced fighting..

I think that if you throw in all of the credit to each company at the beginning of your level with a magic mouth, the mods will look at it and be like, "Ya know what, that's cool wit us."

I'm just going to play Crash Bandicoot.

It's called N. Sanity Beach ;)

I can't wait to play this level... Crash Bandicoot was the game that got me into gaming as a whole, and I still love to play it!

BTW, which was the most recent Crash Bandicoot game for PlayStation?

I think this is it

Ugh, new Crash Bandicoot games SUCK.

I refuse to play them.
For me, Crash Bandicoot died after Crash Team Racing. This way, all his games are awesome.

I have a 4ft plushie of Crash, and all the PS1 games (some on Platinum & Normal).

I have that plushie too! Same with me, only liked the old games.

Is the bit with crabs in it at the start of the beach?

You get washed ashore right?

Think that was twinsanity.

Really? I havent even played that one!

I thought you get washed ashore and there are boxes in front of you. After the boxes there were crabs, no?

Oh right sorry, wrong mindset I'm in, I think the first level is green with turtles from what I remember, however I haven't played it in....9 years I think.


:3

I havent played it for a very long time either. I wish I could find it now...

[Watch YouTube Video]

Cant see videos on my psp. (Is a video right?)

What is it of?

EDIT: Boomy edited his post and took out the video.

EDIT: back in now!

The first level

Are there crabs?

Indeed there are.

Epic win! I knew it!

Thanks for finding that.

It starts, you get washed ashore on your face, you jump up, spin attack the air, and you're off. Boxes, crabs, boxes, more crabs, boxes, climbing, aku mask, turtles.

Off the top of my head, I don't remember any turtles on the lower level.

Brings back memories *sniff*

Jumping over pits and killing enemies are part of it. I plan to download the game from the playstation store after christmas so i can reference it (and also it is my favourite game of all time!).
I plan to make a Aku Aku Mask as well and have the wooden boxes with points inside (as well as the bouncy ones).

I was going to make a series of levels based on the film Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom but I think it is too ambitious for m first level. I'll be starting in the new year.

cheers,

muttjones :D

grrrr.

It's called N. Sanity Beach and I am the biggest crash freak You'll ever meet (up to Twinsanity, past that they're rubbish) I've completed crashes 1-twinsanity 100% and can fully complete crash 1 in under an hour. If you're gonna make this, it better be true to life.

nothing tops the originals but crash bash was alot of fun and crash twinsanity is easily he best new take on the old bandicoot. the latest two suck because they're all brawling and no platforming.

i'm going to buy all the crash games of the PSN store after christmas when i get the mgs pack. :D:D

Crash died when they introduced fighting..
