Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time ‘PS5 Features’ trailer
Adaptive triggers, Activity Cards, and more.Publisher Activision and developer Toys for Bob have released a new trailer for Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time highlighting the recently announced PlayStation 5 version’s key features.
Here is an overview of the PlayStation 5 version’s key features, via the PlayStation Blog:
Improved Graphics and Performance
Taking full advantage of the PlayStation 5 hardware, Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time presents Crash at his platforming best, starting with support for native 4K targeting 60 frames per second (requires 4K compatible device) and enhanced 3D audio (with a compatible headset). Wall run, spin jump, and rail grind using outstanding, crisp controls on levels lovingly built by the art and animation team, now even more vibrant and colorful on the PlayStation 5.
And waste no time in saving the multiverse! Featuring shorter load times, it’s easier and faster than ever to jump right into the action.
Adaptive Triggers
The DualSense wireless controller adds a whole new level of immersion to Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time, making this the most tactile Crash experience yet. Using the controller’s adaptive triggers, you’ll feel the force of Neo Cortex’s DNA-changing blaster, the grip of Tawna’s Hookshot, the power of Crash’s Jetboard, and really feel the suction when you vacuum with Dingodile. Experience dynamic and immersive play, whether you’re dodging pirates and TNT in the Salty Wharf or crunching on the snow in the Eleventh Dimension.
Track Progress with Activity Cards
PlayStation 5’s Activity Card feature will give players a clear breakdown of their progress throughout each of the game’s dimensions. For those true bandicoot masters, this means helping obtain the infamous 106% completion. Activity cards allow you to track your progress and help you hit your goals in time trials, flashback levels, and boss fights. So wherever you are on your multi-dimensional quest for completion, you’ll have the help you need to get ahead.
