The crosshair from the jetski is actually a leftover from Skylanders Supercharged! When you're racing and you get a homing weapon in that game the crosshair shows up, which leads me to believe that the racing was a basis for the jetski (and other vehicle sections)

@WackoMcGoose Жыл бұрын
It would make a lot of sense for them to code in anything they _think they might need at some point,_ so if they want to change things up later, they don't have to touch the game code to change what's in a level. Plus, they surely wanted to make more games after the trilogy, so if the "N. Sane N. Gine" already had the code to do X thing, they wouldn't have to add the feature in later when a level designer goes, "hey, wouldn't it be cool if we can do X?", they can just use what was added in ahead of time "just in case", without having to wait on a programmer to add it in later. Done well, it can speed up development, especially for sequels. But overdo it, and you get scope creep, code bloat, and game delays.

The 4th game also has better animation and better animations fundamentals with squash and stretch, ease in and out and more.

I think this would be worth documenting on TCRF. As I've read from TV Tropes regarding Crash 4, the crates turning to Nitros for the Time Trials are used in that game. It's interesting that N. Sane Trilogy also has this unused feature since no crate in Crash 2 or 3 ever turns to a Nitro. Also, the Nitro list in Crash 1 is also interesting since Nitros (and and crates used in Crash 2 and 3) aren't ever used in any Crash 1 level although they are used in the "Crates" level. I noticed if a level had more than 999 crates, the counter glitches out trying to display 1000 (i.e., 18/ 01 instead of 18/1001) as seen in 17:00 although it seems Crash 1 levels can still display more than 999+ crates missed as seen in 16:34 if one somehow modded in 1000 or more crates. I wonder if this also happens with bonus levels that have more than 999+ crates and the Gem spawn that shows how many crates are broken/in the level. Speaking of the TCRF, Crash 3 actually has a Death Route texture for the Prehistoric and Future levels which goes unused. Not sure if that's the case for NST although Future Tense would use the Future Death Route texture.

when Zelda 2 was undergoing testing originally, the devs kept making it incrementally harder because they kept getting bored during playtesting and by the time it was finished, the game was now too difficult for most players just because the devs needed a challenge to stay motivated to playtest it. so anyway, here's the devs of N.Sane giving themselves a bunch of extra checkpoints and iron crates so they don't die too often in the hard stages.

12:12 Vicarious Visions likely made this change because in the PS1 version you would be softlocked if you failed the challenge with an Aku Aku mask. You would be live since the mask took the hit but you're now sandwiched between two pillars with the height of 4 blocks, so the average player would need to restart the whole level to try again.
