The upcoming HD remaster of Croc: Legend of the Gobbos will include an option for players to use the original tank controls, which were a defining feature of many classic 3D platformers from the 1990s. This decision caters to long-time fans who appreciate the nostalgic feel of the original game’s control scheme. While the remaster will feature updated visuals and modern control mechanics to appeal to new players, the inclusion of tank controls ensures that those who prefer the traditional gameplay experience can still enjoy it using the D-Pad.

Croc originally had D-Pad “tank controls,” and the most requested remaster upgrade has been to add smooth, modern analog controls with an improved camera. But if you’re into old-school cool, never fear—we still support tank controls on the D-Pad! pic.twitter.com/3XB5nHJd5i
Croc, first released in 1997, began as a prototype for a 3D platformer featuring Yoshi, but the collaboration between Nintendo and Argonaut faded. It became one of Argonaut’s most successful games, selling three million copies on PS1 alone, and was also available on Saturn and PC.
