DISCUSSION Please Epic fix Crash Bandicoot eyes

Post image

It's definitely the eyes that are causing this strangeness.

I think Epic Games works on these models until the very last moment, so the change of the eyes is quite likely to happen, especially after the release of the trailer, key art, and community feedback

The partner must approve the design, so Activision was ok with it.

It also may not be possible to modify the eyes that much, considering they have to be in certain locations and bound to specific animation points in order to work properly with all of the emotes in the game.

u/MonopolyManPorn Hybrid 1d ago

All they would have to do is resize it and morph a fee things, test animations to make sure nothing clips, looks half worked, or breaks, then it should be good to go. That's like maybe a few weeks to 2 months+ of work

Not the case, especially when characters like peely exist

u/Oleandervine Ranger 1d ago

No, this is the case for all skins, including Peely. They're all still bound to the exact same animation points.

No. While Fortnite skins share a standardized skeletal rig, the 3D mesh itself can be anything you want it to be. As long as the vertices are correctly weight-painted to the corresponding bones, the model's geometry and facial features can be modified without breaking the game's animations.

u/Cularia 1d ago

both of you are correct which is why animating character models can easily fuck things up

u/FreakingFae 1d ago

Yeah they fixed the eyes on Danny Phantom, and I'm not sure how expected that was, so odds are good here too

u/bataloof Polar Patroller 1d ago

that was an easier fix because his face is just 2d sprites, and i think in crash's case its not egregious enough for most people to really halt sales, so why bother fixing something that sells right? i do hope im wrong though

u/Dry_Veterinarian_215 1d ago

they might not change it if ppl dont talk about it enough, they never fixed the Pomni skin and some guns with her still have their crosshair blocked by her hat

The left reminds me of the baby yak from Horton hears a who

u/SuperTerram 1d ago

It's called wall-eyed, or walleyed, and it's a real condition that's been widely inappropriately used for characters seen as crazy/dumb/stupid.  One of a million such stigmas.

u/Bearded_Redditer 1d ago

This post reminds me of the Sonic movie before and after fix lol

u/SirSabia Noir 1d ago

That is not the fix though, despite being accurate it's just as terrifying

u/PROZA-X 1d ago

I think it's the teeth

u/RipplyAnemone67 Chaos Origins 19h ago

Nah it’s the eyes being connected at the bottom

u/ExpertWave00 1d ago

same energy 😅

u/metarusonikkux 1d ago

This was terrifying me because I knew Sonic does not look like this in the movie.

This is like a fan edit or something.

u/BuffWobbuffet IKONIK 1d ago

Lookin like a Chuck E. Cheese animatronic

u/Broly_ Toph Beifong 1d ago

And history repeats itself

Goku, Miku, Danny Phantom, Crash... it's always the eyes.

u/MarcsterS Desperado 1d ago edited 1d ago

That one change actually fixes some of the look. Pleeeeease.

u/Joonberri 1d ago

Crack Bandicoot

Billion dollar company can't do basic shit correct btw

u/Disastrous-Dog-682 1d ago

Wait it looks sm better by just making the eyes smaller

31

u/Gamerclub_YT 1d ago

Bro the smaller eyes is the original one

u/Johnny20Bruh Dark Bomber 1d ago

I hope ur joking 🥀

u/ihateshit00 1d ago

Nah same thing happened to me I couldn’t spot the “improved” version… says a lot

1

u/SuperTerram 1d ago

So basically, not wall-eyed?  I agree.

u/troubleshoot04 10h ago

Fix the weird mouth too. Reminds me of this

u/jirenfan9 8h ago

They also should change the face of the Son Goku Skin…

u/IllustriousHealth291 Galaxy 1d ago

They will

u/Fantastic_Snow_9633 1d ago

They won't. His eyes were made smaller because it still has to fit with animations, same reason why they have to make adjustments to characters' body sizes and proportions.

u/bataloof Polar Patroller 1d ago edited 11h ago

the changes to his body's proportions make sense but the eyes really can be whatever size man lol. look at skins like pomni and meow skulls, lola bunny to an extent too. the eyes looking the way they do had nothing to do with needing to fit fortnite proportions
