>>16406733

No it's not

I really liked Crash back in the day, CTR being my favorite since even after so many years I keep finding out about new strats and records are broken daily. Crash Bash my least favorite because slow as molasses load times and a lot of broken mechanics, plus it's padded to hell and back.

>>16406739

Croc was always a bit too clunky for me but I really liked the world building. They really had the time of their lives designing shit.

Crash Bash is brutal by the end. Such a giant difficulty spike, I love it.

>>16406733

Where are you lactose intolerant faggots spilling in from? It's not normal to dislike drinking hot Coco.

>>16406758

You can like Coco, but for the love of god, leave it to /fur/. It's infuriating to come into these threads and see it's being used as a porn dump when people actually want to talk about the series.

>>16406762

The big problem with Mario 64 when compared to Crash is that M64 is more awkward to play. The controls are very complex in M64 but it Crash is much more fluid.

>>16406758

Crash Bash is pure suffering, it's 'sequel' is ridiculously forgiving.

>>16406775

What?

>>16406775

What the hell are you talking about, Mark?

>>16406776

The OP was turning these threads into meta, he ruined the pervious threads as well.

>>16406779

Oh, I thought you were talking about this exact thread and assumed you had gone full schizo.

>>16406783

No-no. Just the OP. I deleted the message now since I figured it'd be a more 1 on 1 kinda thing.

>>16406774

>pure suffering

More like pure fun.

The crash ball minigames are pure suffering though. Fuck that minigame.

I like the "3D Scroller " on-rail camera, how the gameplay fluently changes from sidescroller platforming to 3D etc. Adds so much to the gameplay. It's not an ideal approach for all games but I'd really like to see more video games like that. Especially 3D shooters. Apocalypse for PS1 is a game I really like just for its gameplay. Gameplay changes fluently from 3D scroller to top-down shooter and then to a sidescroller within a single level. The gameplay is just so much more fluent than in those more recent 3rd person whack-a-mole shooters like Gears of War etc. Aiming with a gamepad is cancer but gamepads are excellent for rolling around and jumping. Console shooters should be more about dodging than aiming tbh. Free camera movement is for KB+mouse.

>>16406753

Similar facial structure, although exaggerated.

Never really liked the series until twinsanity, i was more fond of medievil and that jersey devil game.

Here's a present: https://drive.google.com/open?id=16iPp4VeowlGULMaCTnCUM7COfilzbdnJ

Uploads aren't 100% yet, but that's most of the crash games worth having. Not going to bother putting crash of the titans or crash mind over matter up because quite frankly they're just not worth playing speaking as someone who beat both on psp.

I was afraid of scrolling further down on that pic.

>furry lolicons ruined two threads in a row

I wasn't really a fan of the whole "if you miss a single crate then fuck you, do it over" at first but, much like the fungus sprouting from my inner thigh, it began to grow on me. Are any of the games after Crash Bash worth playing? I've never gotten around to anything after that.

>>16406753

The resemblance is uncanny.

>>16409671

Crash: The Wrath of Cortex has a pretty lukewarm reputation, but I had a lot of fun with it. Maybe if you go at it with a completionist angle it turns into a nightmare, but playing it just for crystals I found it to be a pretty solid 3D platforming game in a sea of below-average 3d platformers. Crash Nitro Kart is a good kart racer, but pales in comparison to Crash Team Racing. If you haven't played CTR, you will probably appreciate it way more. It's a fine game, it's just hard to follow up the best kart racer I've ever played. most of the CNK tracks will be coming to the remake, though.

Crash of The Titans and Crash: Mind Over Mutant are both garbage beat-em-ups with a crash skin over them, you should definitely avoid them as they're totally shit. I say this as someone who has actually played them. Crash Tag Team Racing is a mediocre kart racing game. It pisses away half the mechanics that made CTR/CNK great to play in exchange for a weird focus on weapons in races and merging with other players (which is largely pointless).

>>16409697

I remember my first exposure for Wrath of cortex were magazines, I was dying to get the game.

>>16409697

Thanks, I'll be sure to check out Wrath of Cortex. Not really a fan of kart racing games but I might play them out just for the sake of seeing what they're all about.

>>16409873

>We all know Crash thread can't survive without sexy bandicoots.

That's not even remotely true and you know it.

This is the reason you furfags are so hated, you don't just have a terrible community, but you shove your shit everywhere even when it's not wanted.

>>16410535

I am not furfag. I am excited that CTR is back. But try to talk about that game here. Nobody realy care until you post some hot Coco. This is not first CTR thread here. All of them die without cocoposting.

Did any of you NEETs get out and play the demo this weekend at best buy? I couldn't make it out, since there are only two fucking stores in the whole state doing it, but I want to know how people are feeling about it.

>>16411374

Also, keep in mind people are saying that the demo they're showing in stores is an older version than the version they showed off at PAX so some shit may have changed though I don't know what.

>>16409671

Wrath of Cortex is like Warped but slightly worse in all regards. Still worth playing if you're a fan. It was supposed to be much more but got fucked by the publishers making ridiculous demands and rushing the release.

Twinsanity tried to evolve the franchise in some logical directions. It also got fucked by the publishers rushing it. It doesn't reach its true potential, but it seemed to have great ideas. The worlds are all connected, like Jak & Daxter. There's a heavier emphasis on the humor, but it's actually done in a way that makes sense for this series. The music is very distinct and very different from the previous games, but it's great. Highly recommended, but it's not as good as the originals, it's mostly a sad reminder of what might have been.

Huge Adventure and N-Tranced on GBA are pretty much what you'd expect from Crash on GBA. It works surprisingly well, but don't expect anything groundbreaking. Take the level themes from Warped and make new levels with them, only they're all 2D. It's alright.

Nitro Kart isn't as good as CTR but if you're ab big fan then there you go.

Never played Tag Team Racing or Crash Boom Bang.

Titans and Mind over Mutant are garbage. Everyone knows this. They changed the gameplay entirely, as well as the designs. It's not a platformer anymore, so I hate it. I only played Titans for a little bit and never played Mind over Mutant, but I'm confident that it sucks.

There are the handheld versions of Nitro Kart and then a bunch of mobile racing games. Never played them. I hear Nitro Kart GBA is okay. The mobile racing games are probably shit.

N-Sane Trilogy is slightly worse in every regard compared to the original. That said, people here exaggerate. It's only slightly worse. Very slightly. Still very good, and it has Time Trials in Crash 1 and 2, and playable Coco, though she's really only a skin. I say they're worth playing due to those new things. If you nitpick, nothing about it is absolutely perfect, but it's pretty close.

>>16412567

I forgot to mention Huge Adventure and N-Tranced. They're both pretty good as far as GBA platformers go, I actually played both of them before I played Warped and was shocked how much they took from it. They're both pretty good games. CNK on GBA I was really excited for when I got it, but honestly in the CURRENT YEAR you don't need to settle for it, the only advantage it has over home console versions is that you can play spyro in it if it matters that much to you.

>>16411804

There is new content to discuss, the Crash Team Racing remake comes out in two months and they've been running demos for the past 2 weekends, although it seems nobody has gone to those.

I fucking hate platformers so the only crash game I actually enjoy is ctr which is arguably the best cart racing game to ever be made.

>>16412617

a couple demos for a racing game aren't enough to hold threads for 2 months. expect tons of coco porn to be posted.

>>16414400

cortex ain't hot enough

>>16414236

That's because the post Naughty Dog games suck. Twinsanity is okay but Nina is the worst part of it. She was clearly only there to be a counterpart to Coco, but then Coco was cut from the game, so Nina didn't even work on a conceptual level.

>>16415188

Twinsanity in general has just so much cut content it's barely funny

>>16406742

crash bash can go fuck itself. the goddamn crystal challenges are the worst thing ever. especially the sky balls bullshit where your opponents can make balls red out of the blue heh and you have to choose to either risk 1 life or dying outright, or the pogo padlock one where you can only score by stealing painted tiles with missiles.

>>16425170

People who grow up with a kino series have a really hard time accepting that sometimes games can be 6/10 without them being terrible. I'd say most post Crash Bash games are like that. Some high 7s, some low 6s, but I don't remember them ever being absolute garbage.

>>16425170

I'm still rather bothered by the way they handled her character. I think she was much cuter before.

>>16425189

My main gripes with Crash Bash is that 1) they pad the game to hell and back by forcing you to beat the CPUs three times over (two would've sufficed), get to unreasonably high amounts of points (the Ball and Pogo games are especially bad at this) or plain and simply forcing you to play against RNG (the missions you mentioned with insta-death that just comes at you without a way to really avoid it other than praying that you aren't unlucky). Add to that the terrible loading times (I kept removing the frame limited on an emulator playing a while back and it STILL accounted for half the total playtime) and you've got a recipe for a terribly flawed game. And it's a real shame because some of the minigames are really fun, the Racer and Medieval games are super hilarious, the bosses are also pretty cool, but god damn, the only way to play this game efficiently is via tag team.

Also fun fact the Jap version has Fake Crash as an unlockable character and I was so damn disappointed that the most annoying version of the game is also the one with the most content.

>>16425170

>did you miss the whole evil coco thing?

Doesn't really change the fact that she was designed as a counterpart of coco for cortex. A lot of design choices were dropped and re-picked or totally changed since crash was developed by a lot of different teams, that's why you got the god awful Crash of the Titans style.

>>16425263

>the only way to play this game efficiently is via tag team.

Not quite, if your team mate is even slightly less skilled than you you both will suffer specially the fucking pinball game

>>16425323

coco isn't crash's daughter

>>16425323

I disagree, especially on Ball stages one skilled guy can carry the team, basically you start thinking of your team mate as another AI that sometimes helps you.

>>16425326

NIECE

>>16425334

nice, the chance of extra retard babies is even lower then

>>16425339

>>16425334

>>16425323

They ARE siblings, you fucking fools. She calls him big brother literally in her first 10 seconds on-screen.

>>16425377

I'm not even following the conversation any more

>>16425326

This is what I meant with dropping design choices. Nina was originally Cortex daughter, but it was changed to be a niece. the only reason she is not his sister is because Cortex is too old and a sister would need to be as old as him. It does still mimicry Coco and Crash relationship, specially in Twinsanity, and she was literally turned into Coco's rival from Tag Team Racing on She also was recruited to kidnap coco in the Spyro crossover games

>>16425334

The problem is that your retarded partner can play against you a lot, it's really hard to coordinate in that damn game, and more often than not your partner is depleting your points.

>>16425976

Well, let me cleanse your palate

I don't really like shilling for people, but I'm really interested to see this game being released, it's sort of a Crash Huge Adventure styled game but with a lot more heart put into it

Coco should only have shoes on

>>16425263

Since a Crash Bash remake has a decent chance of happening after CTR I wonder if they'll just leave it as-is or make it slightly less bullshit.

>>16426973

Online play would improve this immensely no doubt

>>16425263

Crate Crush > Crash Dash > Tank Wars > Everything else

Very few games made me feel the same amount of fun I had when kicking Penta the penguin on the ice Crate Crush map and watching him wreck everyone shit in the entire arena like a tornado wiping the whole arena clean. Crash Bash deserves a remake more than any other game after 1, 2, 3 and CTR.

Coco is kino

>>16429733

>>16425162

thats what i said, Sodium Chloryde

>>16429733

>>16425162

I don't understand everyones problem with her voice actress being Jimmy Neutron's voice actress. I thought she sounded cute and the voice really emphasized the nerd aspect of her character.

>>16433426

Debi DerryBerry is a good voice actress but sometimes it went a bit too into Jimmy's voice

I think her best performance as Coco was TTR and the NSane remake.

>>16430272

>>16430418

>>16425170

I like them but they suck compared to the originals. And Evil Coco is to Coco as Evil Crash is to Crash. Nina is to Coco as Cortex is to Crash. Which works when Coco is playable, like Cortex was. But Coco wasn't playable, so Nina was stupid.

>>16425189

I like most of the games in Crash Bash, and I like that they get right to the games and don't waste my time with board game shit like Mario Party and Sonic Shuffle. That said, trying to 100% the game (or 300% or whatever the final tally was) meant you had to do a couple relic challenges which were incredibly bullshit. One in particular I remember was one of the pogo levels where you had to get a large enough combo, but your combo could be easily broken by the AI. I tried to co-op that with my brother a few years ago and that one took us forever.

Also, that one game where you race in a circle sucks. The balloon one is pretty good, but it's the one with the least missions/variations. My favorite is the one where you throw the crates at each other because then I just pretend it's like a Crash fighting game.

Crash Bash is the worst post-ND Crash game except Titans and Mutant. I still like it, but it's overrated by virtue of being lumped in with the other PS1 games by a lot of people.

>>16428361

Online play sucks and never improved anything. It just means that the game will not work properly once the servers shut down or there isn't anyone else online to play with. Better off investing the time into better bot AI.

>>16428438

Twinsanity deserves a remake but they need to finish it.

>Replaying Crash 3 PS1 lately.

I can get taking her laptop with her to the time twister warp room where it might be useful, but why the fuck does Coco bring it with her to Ancient China? They don't have internet, let alone electricity (though, what's powering it on their island to begin with? Proximity to Aku-Aku?), and she's not spending long enough there to impress the natives with it (everything but her tiger cub trying to kill her anyhow), so what's the point? Does she consider her brother that much of a retard that he'd break it if she left it unattended? I mean, Crash is retarded, but at least as of the PS1 games, he came off as very high functioning and can both actually accomplish noteworthy things and operate complex shit like jetpacks, motorbikes, etc with no training. And knowing his luck, the laptop would somehow kill him before he ever broke it.

At least Coco doesn't seem to bring it with her to the jet ski levels, but then again, she doesn't have a stand/walk model (where her laptop shows up) used in those levels in the first place. It is back in her hands once she gets back though, so who knows. I assume it's just limited models, but let's get autistic about this.

>>16437909

>turns out that Coco is legit autistic and has a sperg tantrum if she is separated from her laptop.

This is my headcanon now. Her brother is also literally canon retarded, so it makes sense.

>>16437935

Would make some dual sense with how in the water levels she loses a life from hitting shit, even if it clearly doesn't kill her or even knock her out. Assuming she's still bringing her laptop with her to them and somehow keeping it on her person, it's not only that she can't continue the level without her jet, she refuses to keep living that without her laptop, which by that point is drenched and likely worthless. Kind of like how Crash dies of modesty on occasion where he somehow misses getting sliced open but has his belt/pants sliced and broken.

>>16414196

>>16414195

>>16414200

>vast majority of maps have maybe 3-4 turbo pads max

Simplicity is sometimes awesome

>>16437593

The later pogo and crashball levels in general were bullshit. When it came to relics I don't think there was a more infuriating experience on the PS1. inb4 some casual bitches about Drivers tutorial

>>16426121

Tell me more so I can see what it is, you goof

>>16426121

>That music

Fuck, was this CTR or crash 2?

>>16438047

What surprises me the most though is the ratio of good:bad maps. Barring like a couple with odd turns (especially that 180° you gotta perform with arcane glitch tech in Polar Pass, screw those jumps) most of the maps are always enjoyable to replay without needing to have some overcompensating graphics or gimmicks like in most modern kart racers. My first complaint with nuCTR is that the tracks look like shit, with a lot of stuff going on in the background for no reason, realistic graphics effects that force the devs to use an also quite realistic texture mapping - which makes most of the track hard to read, for comparison look at Bluzzard Bluff and how despite the lines on the track look unnatural help immediately discern where you can and can't go fast - and the camera to be positioned so you look more what is immediately in front of you so that you don't mistake part of the track for the scenery and vice versa, and less on the remaining parts of the track. Also, it's really devoid of life.

Similarly, >>16438449 designs like these are really iconic because 1) they're simple, with exaggerated features and some little extra detail, instead of a shitton of fur and bloat 2) makes everyone have a distinct silhouette that distinguishes the character from the rest of the cast AND from characters from other series and 3) immediately conveys personality, tone and various other aspects that would be harder to replicate with more details that steal the attention away from the whole. Go watch the dev diaries for how Valve created the TF2 mercenaries to understand what I'm talking about.

>>16438506

CTR, Mystery Caves

CTR is prolly one of those games that has to be preserved, kind of how the USA has that big vault with preserved movies.

>>16438497

It's a Crash fangame with a lot of heart put into the animations, not really much to explain. It's really good for what it does, if you ask me.

>>16438517

>(especially that 180° you gotta perform with arcane glitch tech in Polar Pass, screw those jumps)

You mean after the cave? Just jump over the wall, you filthy casual.

>>16406742

>>16410217

>>16414400

Can anybody give me a quick rundown on the difference between PAL ant NTSC and which is the better version?

>>16444266

So which version is the best generally?

>>16444298

It really depends on what you're looking for.

If you're playing casually, PAL is generally the best for most scenarios. It mostly only matters with speedruns, in that case usually it goes:

>NTSC-J / PAL for the adventure mode

>NTSC for time trials without Penta or US specific tricks

>PAL for time trials with Penta and some PAL specific quirks

>>16444298

forgot to add the video, I cannot stress how polarizing Penta is - even though there's like a handful of tracks that don't benefit from his buffed stats and actually hinder him

>>16445072

This. This has been my favorite game since it came out, but I never bothered to look up stuff online for it. Now, due to the remake, I'm hearing about all these glitches, like hopping to conserve speed and stuff, that I never knew about. I managed to get all the Platinum Relics and beat all the Oxide Ghosts without any of these, only using the mechanics the game explains to you. Some people might call me stupid, but I'm proud I was able to do it. Using all the glitches makes it almost trivially easy. Doing it as intended, it's incredibly difficult, but just barely possible.

>>16445072

>>16445116

There's nothing wrong with either playstyle, brothers. The only thing that matters is the speed. The speed is EVERYTHING. Why live on the slow lane when you can feel the excitement of passing some dude on the last possible frame?

also to be perfectly honest, 90% of the glitch-tech is only performed in Time Trials, and for a reason, this shit is tight as fuck to pull off and you'd also be needing 10 wumpas to stand a chance against good players

>Some people might call me stupid, but I'm proud I was able to do it

And you definitely should wear those relics with pride, mate. Flexing on a game and being gud at it may be two completely different things, but the sentiment is the same. There's no satisfaction greater than overcoming an obstacle in life that taunts you with its presence.

>Using all the glitches makes it almost trivially easy.

Actually they're all quite hard. You need a lot of timing and cornering skills, rote memorization and even a bit of luck. Plus the routes are completely different depending on what you're trying to achieve, 3LAPs force you to git gud at the entire track first, no frills, all skill, then to get the two or three strats that let you bypass chunks of the track. FLAPs require you to use completely different, even slower strategies with the hope of getting such a small time on your lap in a way the devs never intended, for instance getting USF sometimes means you have to purposefully have to backtrack and break the game to achieve it. Adventure mode is pretty much what you're talking about, 100% execution and adapting to whatever the game throws at you.

Would Coco be naked if she didn't have her shirt or overalls on? She has fur.

>>16445294

Naw, what makes me feel stupid is not even knowing about basic stuff like hopping to conserve turbo speed. Just trying that a little made it so easy to get times that took me like a decade of practice to get before.

>>16445887

I don't care if she's naked as long as I can see her bandicunny. Girls with shirts but no bottoms are prime qt.

New Skins, Characters and Karts.

>>16451172

>still no bimbocoots

It’s like they hate us.

>>16451182

they wont be in the game. forget about it.

>>16451172

Kinda losing its identity now. It's starting to remind me of pink dildogun CoD customization. Hopefully cosmetics will be disable-able of course not

>>16451172

They're REALLY trying to sell us on the whole Nitro Kart shit, aren't they?

>>16451182

At this point I'm starting to get worried on whether they're in at all.

>>16451460

What're you smoking, familiar, just go play Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart if you want to disable cosmetics and still have an enjoyable karting game

>>16451594

>At this point

I like the games but they don't get the story.

>>16453790

>no trophy girls

Crash died after Twinsanity. I haven't played it because I didn't own a PS2.

>>16454737

>Pinstripe and NOxide

Didn't they have the same stats as Tiny and Dingodile?

>>16454737

BUT WHERE ARE THE TROPHY GIRLS

>>16454737

HMM

>>16456709

There's actually two different kinds of intermediate iirc, one is the all-rounders, the other is high acceleration, lower steering decent speed types. The main characters (Crash, N. Cortex, Fake Crash) and a few others have the all-rounder, I think pinstripe is an all-rounder too, but N. Gin is definitely acceleration and I think N. Oxide was -supposed- to be that as well and was that in CNK.

>Norm

Even though they're still VV crash characters, I did think the designs of the bosses for CNK were pretty hilarious, and I fucking loved Norm

>>16438517

I actually think the art is at least better than the N. Sane Trilogy, at least taking steps towards putting an importance back on color palette. Lighting etc. doesn't bother me. The biggest gripe I had about N. Sane Trilogy was how far off the correct coloration and palette usage it had. Some places were so motherfucking bland or off when I remember playing 2 and thinking about all the beautiful vivid colors. CTR, they realized, they can't -do- without distinct coloration, and even though it's asking a lot of activision to have done this, it does seem they paid way better attention to color palette. I do agree that some of the visual color detracts. Sewer speedway didn't need a giant fucking alligator, Papu's pyramid has new colors but it didn't need them. Then I look at Polar Pass and think they mostly got it correct, and start seeing the other most important bits and bobs too.

IDK dude I'm a huge stickler for CTR and though I wouldn't purchase the N. Sane Trilogy, between things like them getting Mancell and Mothersbaugh on to guide the sound team and offering the original OST, the improvements in color palette choices, I feel they're doing pretty well.

Biggest complaint is also one of the biggest features with decent potential: didn't think we needed skins, but it kind of feels reminiscent of the early PS3 era's plethora of "customization racers" which were all kind of fun in their own way and when the online community was going it was fun seeing a bit of the wacky here and there.

>>16457014

>>16457014

Insude ur heart :)

Dead and buried blame current year, and retards getting turned on by furries.

What is the worst CTR track and why is it Dragon Mines?

>>16461649

Because it has literally a single shortcut that requires either infinite amounts of patience and cornering to take right or the use of boosters through sheer luck in non-time trial modes. Also the poles in the middle of the race track and the narrow corridors.

Which is the best CTR track and why is it Sewer Speedway?

>>16462088

>Which is the best CTR track and why is it

It's Hot Air Skyway. Don't pretend it's not.

>nobody has posted best theme from the best game in the series yet

YOU ALL FUCKING DISGUST ME

>>16462419

This is all vocals. No instruments.

>>16462428

the entire ost of twinsanity was acapella. i dont know any other game that did something like this but twinsanity did it, and it was amazing.

Holy fuck, I legit made that OP image. Feels like fucking forever since I MSPainted that.

But I love crash. particularly love the first game. THe lab episodes as a kid made me feel so accomplished for some weird reason.

>>16462419

Every time I'm reminded of Twinsanity I get terribly depressed. I fucking wish the game hadn't been rushed so horribly. same with TWoC.

The franchise deserved so very much better.

>>16463034

TWoC is just a shittier Crash 3 with vomit inducing character models.

>>16462864

Nice! Crash is love anon not a furry I swear

>>16463039

That's what I'm saying. It would have had more polish and better looks if it hadn't been rushed.

>>16463084

No really though, TWoC is literally just Crash 3. The only thing that really changes is Crunch's bossfight.

I liked the PS1 games but kinda tuned out from the series afterwards. I should probably go back to them since it's been so many years.

>>16463084

I don't know about better looks but it certainly would be more different if Mark Cerny didn't drop the project

>>16463094

Someone posted most of them earlier >>16409531

>>16463094

The PS1 games are where most of the good stuff is anyways. The PS2 entries vary from middling (Crash Nitro Kart, Wrath of Cortex) to just bad (Crash of the Titans, Crash Tag Team Racing). If you haven't played CTR on PS1, you should try it though.

>>16463093

The rolling ball levels are new, though I don't know if I necessarily prefer them over the motorcycle stuff. Still hate the water levels, wish they had gone back to the Crash 2 themes.

>>16462844

Be honest, beyond the novelty factor of it being done a capella, it's a piss-poor generic soundtrack.

I much rather prefer Sewer Speedway because not only you can get some serious speed on the opening area, but the skate park and cylinder parts let you jump so goddamn high and pull some tony hawk shit and lap on the very hard cpus. Hot Air Skyway rubs me the wrong way because of the damn high jump, maybe it's the cerebral palsy that is slowly eating away my inputs but I can never make that jump right.

>>16462413

Same, it seems like a trend, any time a new Crash game got developed into something interesting and not Skylanders levels of dummy it gets rushed for the dumb holiday season.

>>16462484

>But that does make me wonder if the reason we haven't seen them up to this point is purely because they're saving face until release, knowing their remade models are going to cause an uproar in current year media?

Sounds to me that in the Current Year + 5 it's best to make something controversially bad so that people talk about it than hiding up until release.

>>16463833

Ruger 10/22.

I'd Crash into Coco, if you know what I mean.

Is there any reason to play remake CTR over original?

>>16463254

the fact that it is acapella is what makes it original.

thats like saying that queen is generic rock with a charismatic gay guy because they use guitars.

>>16463119

These games all suck compared to Crash Bandicoot. I like them, but none of them are on the same level. A lot of them only have 2D movement, and Tomba is really more of an RPG with light platforming movement, really. I wouldn't call Oddworld a platformer at all. Just because it's a side scroller with the ability to jump doesn't mean it's a platformer.

>Same, it seems like a trend, any time a new Crash game got developed into something interesting and not Skylanders levels of dummy it gets rushed for the dumb holiday season.

Universal, then Vivendi, then Activision, does this with everything they ever touch. Crash, Spyro, Tony Hawk, Spider-Man, Guitar Hero. They killed all my favorite franchises. They're easily as bad as EA and I don't see why they get a pass.

>>16463878

>Is there any reason to play remake CTR over original?

It will have more content from the other Crash Racing games which aren't as good but at least it's more content.

It remains to be seen if the physics will be fucked, but it looks ok so far.

>>16464294

>the fact that it is acapella is what makes it original

I disagree. Taking poorly written and supremely unremarkable songs and doing them a capella doesn't make them original or interesting in any way.

>thats like saying that queen is generic rock with a charismatic gay guy because they use guitars

Terrible analogy, anon.

>>16463878

Looks pretty, and it has all the CNK stuff in it if you're into that. Also if you have a switch you can jerk yourself off about taking it on the go if you never had a PSP before in your life.

>>16464317

I don't know if the tracks aren't as good or if CNK as a whole isn't as good. Having played and finished CNK off the back of CTR the game just doesn't control as well, the powerslides feel really weird and hinder your turning strangely. They're taking out the anti-grav bits from the tracks, which makes me curious about how re-structured stuff like out of time will get. I think Jungle Boogie in particular is a pretty good track, so I wonder how they'll turn out. I just think some of them might feel redundant with their similarities a la tiny's temple from CNK and Tiger Temple from CTR.

>>16464317

>They're easily as bad as EA and I don't see why they get a pass.

Probably because they shit out something good every once in a while and Naughty Dog brought this on themselves, but yeah, fuck IP hoarding companies.

>>16472653

I wonder if Super Mario Maker 3(D) will have Mario 64 - Sunshine - Galaxy - Odyssey styled level editors instead. Imagine having 3d levels that used basic elements of each game.

>>16472451

BULLSHIT

I DON'T BELIEVE YOU

>>16462419

Also obligatory

I never got the appeal of Crash

He's retarded but the bad kind. Like legit retarded where he screeches and does stupid shit but you can't get mad at him because he's retarded and a bunch of people come to his defense

Maybe I'd like it more if he was lobotomy retarded and just sat drooling all the time. You could play the game as his sister and have her push him on a wheelchair to complete levels instead of riding tigers

And why does he have pants and shoes but no shirt? Retards usually dress the opposite way to show off their ass and balls like Bubsy

>>16485274

>Maybe I'd like it more if he was lobotomy retarded and just sat drooling all the time. You could play the game as his sister and have her push him on a wheelchair to complete levels instead of riding tigers

I'm sure they'll listen to your suggestion for the next hot PS5 walking sim

Also, Crash is canonically retarded. It's the major plot point that starts off the events of all games, N.Brio evolved a rodent and then Cortex tried to brainwash him into being his general for an army to take over the world with, experiment failed and they resorted to preparing the female bandicoot.

His appeal is the same as a Western cartoon from the 80s/90s. If you don't like them either, it'll be difficult for you to enjoy Crash.

>>16485430

>>16485686

>>16485757

I guess he just isn't for me.

And in my defense, I wouldn't want a walking sim. I was thinking you could use the wheelchair as like a bike or something and still platform and dash with it

Coco shouldn't have clothes on

>>16485274

He's the lovable goofball stereotype, yes he is not the sharpest tool in the tent but he tends to be a fun loving guy even i hard situations in his games it's not that hard to understand while his sister is the complete opposite of him yet she still an easy going girl yet there are people complaining that she isn't the smartass killjoy nerd as the genius stereotypes goes.

>>16485274

He's a mutant marsupial with hands and feet who's been shot in the face with an unstable laser and then fell of a mountain. Even so, he's at most a functional retard who uses his retard strength for a noble cause most of the time, and actually shows geniues from time to time. It's good enough.

>>16485274

That's the point. He's an extremely crude character. Even the commercials played off this fact.

>>16485274

Also, he's not retarded, just autistic. I'm sure you can understand the appeal now.

>>16485274

Your other points still stand, but don't press 'F' for the Trophy Girls just yet; the "Classic" adventure mode could have more substantial differences from the "Nitro-Fueled" option than they've revealed so far.

>>16503268

The whole skins thing is meaningless, their engine allows for extremely easy model swapping

>>16504501

Skins I don't really give a shit about, that's at the bottom of the "meaningless shit" pile. Especially cause they didn't even put in fucking moto crash as a skin, they did the scuba and the pilot from warped but not the motorcycle and there's NO way they didn't think to do that. it's more the exclusive track that I think is a shitty addition in this case.

>>16502943

>30 FPS

>for a fast paced cartoon kart racer

But why?

>>16517027

To be fair, the original PS1 game ran on 30, which is why a lot of the speed tech was developed around what the devs did to make players feel like they were going faster than the game allowed them to. 30 in modern age is shit and most likely has to do with 1) how cluttered the stages are - lead dev got interviewed about tracks and literally told his team to add as much shit to Coco Park before the engine would start chugging and 2) games today send so much useless information to dedicated servers that it's almost impossible to synchronize shit, so their solution is to give everyone a worse experience to make sure that no one is left behind and desyncs.

SJW garbage.

>>16516998

Who the fuck are these two? Where Komodo Moe?

>>16517361

two original the characters from Crash Nitro Racing, they're on the same team as the bad guy - some gremlin reject - and N. Oxide, despite not looking anything like him.

>>16517163

Not sure where you're pulling that from.

>>16517361

Zem and Zam, they're from CNK, they are supposed to be aliens from the same planet as Nitros Oxide. I always thought they looked kinda shit, though. The bosses for CNK were always more interesting.

>>16409697

The PS2 games are pretty alright. Twinsanity tries really hard, but is really short in my opinion. It's still a fun short experience. And also has a great OST, if you like weird stuff.

Nitrokart and Tag Team Racing are also fun, but not amazing. Tag Team Racing makes it a little unique with the whole merging cars and gunning and also having platforming still mixed in. This one also has some good weird music, by the same people from Twinsanity.

>>16519204

I don't like tag team racing because they totally ripped out powersliding in exchange for goofy gun battles. The extra modes they put in makes it a little better, but between the new characters I don't care for like Von Clutch and the giant Wumpa man and the total stripping of what made CTR/CNK good turns it into a big pile of crap. Maybe it's just not my style.

CNK is pretty okay, but it again loses some stuff that CTR has. It was nice that it ran at 60 FPS (as it should), but they totally overhauled how the boost system work in a way that I think didn't work great. I am looking forward to the tracks making a return in a system that I think just works better.

Twinsanity I've never played, so I can't give a strong opinion on it, but I was lukewarm on the soundtrack in CTTR, it wasn't terrible, but it didn't blow me away. I also only played CTTR on PSP, so who knows.

>>16519227

My problem with Tag Team Racing was that it was piss easy, at least for the racing part. The side missions were more challenging. Also, Twinsanity had a better soundtrack in my opinion.

More gameplay. Dragon Mines was shown, it has the dragon from Wrath of Cortex in it now. The exclusive track for PS4 is a reskin of Turbo Track with the playstation logo plastered all over it.

>>16495367

EAT THE FUCKING PIZZA

>>16463874

Dude, this.

There were jokes in Twinsanity that poked fun at this. Basically a lot of the content of the game was scrapped because the developers were rushed. When you go to the other dimension Cortex even says "There were supposed to be more dimensions but we ran out of time."

A joke like that can be thrown in by someone writing the script and it takes seconds. But to make the content under the time restriction they had was simply impossible, it was like the devs of that game were trying their best with the little they had.

If any Crash game deserves a remake, Twinsanity does and with all the content they initially scrapped.

Twinsanity was a great game, it would have hands down been my favorite crash game if the devs had the time they should have had.

>>16485274

The devs initially called him "assman" or something before they came up with a name.

You need to remember that the graphics restrictions (polygon counts and all that shit) really dictated the design of characters, devs had to work around the restrictions of the time to make a character look good.

Crash is supposed to look goofy as shit, what truly ruined Crash's look was in later games when the developers tried to remodel him, the technology was there to improve his look, but at the same time it took away what made Crash look appealing in the first place.

There's a reason why a lot of PS1/PS2 era games were cartoonish, the style fit the technical limitations and also made the game look good despite it. A cartoonish design doesn't age half as badly as a 'realistic' approach to games (look at how bad the original, non remastered Skyrim looks now. It looks ugly because they went for realism, not caring how outdated the game would look later on)

Do you prefer the fucking Titan Crash design shit? Or the new Crash remastered shit? It looks ugly as fuck with a modern design, it just doesn't translate well.

>>16526193

I don't understand this retro meme. It doesn't look convincing with these textures and lighting.

>>16526800

Pretty sure PSX/PS1 games had a weird dithering effect and was most noticeable on lcd screens as 'weird' star patterns across everything.

>>16526800

Something about the scale seems off too, look how tiny the racers are in the second image compared to the track.

>>16526193

>lookin'_good.jpeg

>>16526193

looks ugly as sin in the new engine, they should have just made the track again but with higher res textures instead of giving these shitty textures and simple geometry

>>16526916

I'm pretty sure I've never seen it but I do remember that the devs used the limitations of the hardware and its expected output screens to make textures that looked like non-even surfaces.

I really fucking hope Turbo Track is fully included in the game, in the remaster state, not just "only the eyerape retro version made it"

>>16534553

It is already confirmed to be in it, I think they've shown it briefly in one of the trailers too. The "Retro" one is just a re-skinned copy for PS4.

>>16530197

I actually prefer dithering, looks cool to me. I wish modern games had it as a graphics option.

At the risk of looking like i'm defending activision; Do you really see EA giving their developers take a chance on a new crash bandicoot game. Hell, they'd probably just shut Toys for Bob down once the Skylanders fad cooled off.

>>16526524

>Twinsanity was a great game, it would have hands down been my favorite crash game if the devs had the time they should have had.

Too bad the original developers are now just a factory for generic lego platformers. No way in hell WB is going to let them do anything else.

>>16587416

That or people start making their own games, relying on AAA devs to make all our games is what lead to this shit and the death of AA and smaller studios

>>16587358

>>16587443

Right on the money, we need more TRUE INDEPENDENT projects, not "indie"™ games paid by the PRC and Epic Games

>>16587536

And how do we determine that anon? even this got sold out to epic

>>16574903

>>16587556

>how do we determine that

Many factors, but major ones include the games theme/setting and who you play as. If you play as some fag in a 2D pixelshit game or a 3D "retro" PS1 style moviegame then its pozzed indie shit, all indies follow the same formula it isnt that hard to tell when its an indie vs an independant game.

>even shenmue, a game made by money hungry kikes took chink money

shenmue isnt indie at all, its backed by a big game studio thats been around for decades.

Your best bet for any game is to wait for it to fully come out then wait a month after its release, if they havent set up kikestarter or patreon then you can be assured its solid.

>>16587578

Thank you anon.

>>16587556

I mean… Don't buy/support monetarily a game way before it can even get on a store page? Kikestarters are infamous for a reason.

Also, don't treat companies and devs like the gospel and don't get stockholm syndrome'd into supporting a series just cause it's another entry, there's plenty of faggots who played multiple fallout iterations because they thought it was the right thing to do.

Literally just talk non stop about games you like and buy them and get people to try them, instead of wasting your time dissing those you don't wish to be popular.

>>16587683

Thanks again anon.

>>16587884

Oh thank God. I hate feeling pressured to buy a game on-release because it has some sort of seasonal temporary content. I want to buy a game because I'm wholly excited for it.

Oxide station was shown on a livestream today.

>>16590862

Is it just me or is the big jump not as big as it was in the original?

>>16590913

I think the guy playing oxide just missed the timing on the jump coming off it, cause the guy on the right seemed to go decently far. The track may be a little squished together though.

>>16591215

This is the one I usually show people who want to see someone actually be good at the game, it holds up fine to me. It's just hard to gauge since everyone they show is the worst at the game.

>>16591466

Now that's more like it.

>>16592184

Aside from characters, these cosmetics look like trash anyway.

>>16592229

Yeah, characters is all I'm really worried about, but it's been confirmed that they're not time-gated by a real employee at the dev house and not by some random game journo, so it's not really the end of the world for me; it's just kind of shitty. It could be that they still don't do them, but it's irritating to have all this flip-flopping info and no fucking statements from anyone.

>>16592248

They will sell something for real money. Skins and characters. Do you think Beenox would bother with all skins and karts for free? I don't care. Beenox remastered two games even if they should just work on CTR only.

>>16593596

It's a bit tasteless once you consider that the CNK material is already in the base game and is now getting retroactively upsold. They said the only way to get them is from the store in the game.

Also, I don't know when nor why everyone suddenly became just okay with microtransactions. It's not okay when EA does it, it's not okay when Activision does it, it's shitty for everyone. It's driving me mental seeing the gymnastics people will do to justify these to themselves. It would honestly be better not to have the new tracks and characters than to have them be carrots on a stick for money, to me.

Here's new gameplay footage of adventure mode, you can see the same message pop up at the end of their crash cove race.

>>16593619

>>16593609

I don't care about microtransactions anymore. It is part of gaming now. You don't have to buy them. We are not living in perfect world.

>>16593727

>I don't care about microtransactions anymore. It is part of gaming now. You don't have to buy them. We are not living in perfect world.

You're quite literally the cancer that is killing modern gaming. Unless you're talking about cosmetics or model imports, in which case yeah, only a retard would spend money for that shit.

>>16593817

They're gating characters, skins, karts, and kart decals behind it. Thankfully the tracks are all just given to you so it's not the end of the world, it's just stupid.

>>16593619

its because they arent branded as microtransactions anymore, they're called seasons and you buy some pass just so you can unlock seasonal shit, which is a grind but you can pay more to unlock it faster.

That and the big shill campaign where people went around crying about how devs need microtransactions to survive adn your basically taking food out of their childrens mouths by not buying them

>>16593840

Didn't they just say you can still unlock all the content, just at a different pace?

>>16594306

Yes, but the pace will ultimately be set by how much activision wants to charge for coins.

>the useless trophy whores have return
