After all but vanishing from the gaming landscape about twenty years ago, Argonaut Games announced its return in the best possible way for fans of early 3D platformers: with the reveal of an upcoming remaster of Croc: Legend of the Gobbos for consoles and PC. No release window was included, unfortunately, but fans can at least look forward to some confirmed extras.
Croc as a series began in 1997 with the original release of Croc: Legend of the Gobbos for PS1 and effectively ended in 2001 with the PC release of Croc 2. Both games enjoyed praise for their graphics at the time and are largely remembered as fun platformers that were held back by their oddly high level of difficulty. Three small mobile projects followed Croc 2 in 2005 and 2006, but they failed to revive interest, so it’s been quite a while indeed since Croc’s received any real attention.
The Croc: Legend of the Gobbos remaster will finally address the original’s biggest issue.
As one would expect of a remaster for an early 3D game like Croc: Legend of the Gobbos, this new version will feature enhanced HD graphics. Judging by the reveal trailer, this isn’t...
