Because the new one doesn't look like smashed dogshit?

Cody this a stupid point to try and be making and you know it.

At the end of the day you are still waiting through long load times.

Destiny's loading may be long, but it is upfront, and when at your destination you can spend hours (raids especially) without seeing another loading screen. I suppose Destiny can do this because it's pretty linear, and can cache and preload as you go through the spaces.

Crash is not. Especially if you are going for gems, you'll be backtracking, and entering levels out of order. There are gems in the remaster that you can only get without dying. So die, and you must suffer two long load screens before being able to restart, because for whatever reason there's no option to simply restart level.

Knowing this, if I were in charge, I would have made it a priority to reduce load times since they impact the player more than other types of games. Saying it's prettier doesn't address this.
