I would like to take this time to officially announce Game #128 that will be played on The Gaming Beatdown. Starting July 21st, 2017, it is Crash Bandicoot. This is the seventh Naughty Dog game to be played on the channel, This is the first installment of the Crash Bandicoot franchise to be played as well.
Our fourth game for the 2017 Summer Blockbusters is a new franchise, making it's debut for Lets Play Nights. Crash Bandicoot! More importantly the remake of Crash Bandicoot on the PS4, part of the Crash Bandicoot N-Sane Trilogy.
I have been in a bit of a Platformer craze as of late, and with this recently released. I figured I should finally dive into the world of Crash Bandicoot. Now my history with the Crash Bandicoot games, I have only played a bit of the first game, other then that I have not played to much of them. This will be a first playthrough of the game. I have heard that this game is pretty tough. Lots of reviewers are calling it the "Dark Souls" of 3D Platformers. So I don't know if I should be worried. So because of that, I have decided to include a death counter for the playthrough. Keeping track on how many times I die playing the game.
Also in case your wondering, I don't know at the moment if this will be a 100% run of the game. Kinda like the Rayman Origins playthrough, it will be just collecting as much as I can. But you probably can expect a lot of rage. Oh... will there be rage.
So with that guys, Crash Bandicoot is Game #128, begins on Friday July 21st, 2017. It will also be played every Friday/Monday Nights until it is completed only on The Gaming Beatdown. If you missed the announcement trailer for this playthrough you can find it available down below.
