Crash Bandicoot 4: It?s About Time briefly appeared during yesterday?s gamescom: Opening Night Live stream. While Crash himself was busy roaming around Cologne, Germany (poor guy didn?t get the memo that gamescom was cancelled this year), developer Toys For Bob unveiled a brand-new mode, Flashback Tapes. These levels will allow players to rewind to the 1990s, before the first Crash Bandicoot entry when Neo Cortex performed experiments on Crash and Coco.
During Opening Night Live, host Geoff Keighley interviewed Producer Lou Studdert, who described the Flashback Levels as ?devious puzzle rooms.? According to Studdert, such levels were designed to provide an incredibly difficult challenge. Players access each one by finding Flashback Tapes that are strewn about Crash Bandicoot 4?s various levels. As a tribute to the original trilogy?s Death Routes, Studdert divulged, the only way to actually pick up a Flashback Tape is by reaching it in a level without dying. A challenge to unlock another challenge.
