HD remaster of the first Croc title will be released for “all the current consoles and PC". There's no specific release date beyond "2024" at the moment.

Here's an article with additional info and screen shots. Main points:

  • HD graphics keeping the original art style
  • updated controls
  • digital museum containing development assets, design documents, concept art and more

Can't say I share your experience with either game but I can understand it doesn't work for everyone. Personally, I can't really imaging playing this, Kao the Kangaroo or old Tomb Raider titles without tank controls for example.

To be clear, your comment is exactly what I meant - you tried and don't like it, that's absolutely fine. There's plenty of games I couldn't get into due to controls or mechanics so I feel you. On the other hand, I met people who refuse to even try to engage with certain mechanics and that's what I'm not a fan of. I'm all for remakes/remasters/rereleases updating things to let more people enjoy the old thing and hope this will be the case with Croc. And hey, even if they change something in a way I don't like, there's always* the classic version.

* Though not always an official way to get it.
