3 was the pinnacle of the series. Switched it on a couple of years ago on the PS2 and the controls were just as good as they were when it released. To my knowledge they even wanted the controls of the remakes to feel like the third entry.

Now as for any more remakes the only thing I‘d consider would be THPS Underground 2. That‘s where the series should have ended in my opinion. The tight engine of the game combined with that wild comedic storyline wasn‘t something they could have topped. And the skateboard craze of the light 90’s and early 00’s really wore off after about that time.

@InnerSound
I’m with you for the second and third game, they are still fun to play and totally functional in their original form.
I’d say that the first game can only be enjoyed in it‘s remade form though at least if you‘re going for all the emeralds. With checkpoints that don‘t save your progress the original quickly becomes so frustrating that you stop bothering to continue.

Re: Switch "Joy-Con Drift" Class Action Lawsuit Dismissed After Five Years

Good. Honestly, this sounds like one of these lawsuits where a lot of people just tried to make money off. I understand if car companies get sued for cheating on emission numbers because that actually threatens your health in a way - a thing that game controllers do not. And whilst it is incredibly annoying to the customer at least Nintendo offered free repairs for the joy cons so it‘s not like they simply said it wasn‘t their problem.

They nailed pretty much everything you could hope for in a Crash sequel but they could have easily made this into two games. Levels could have been shorter and they could have removed some of these hard-to-find crates. That kind of missing refinement keeps the game from being a classic.

I really wonder (no pun intended) what they have in store for the next 3D installment. Odyssey was a true love letter to the series and it felt like a movie when playing through it. I don‘t see it being topped anytime soon.
That said, Nintendo does know how to surprise us every now and then so who knows…
