So catch me up, CTR vets, did different characters have different stats or just different karts in the original?

Cool, thanks! So I suppose I'd have to take that into consideration when picking a "Main" character as well.
I'm looking forward to it. The visuals look great.
The console biases don't just affect consumers. I see a lot of it in the industry too.
PC elitism is probably the most common, but I've certainly heard people talk about how they resent working on the platform that they're making a game for.
Ultimately, platforms to release a game onto is a top-down decision that not everyone will be on board with.
I can see why seeing Crash on other platforms feels unusual. A lot of people saw Crash as the Playstation mascot. It's perhaps a little different than say, having a typical exclusive. They likely like the Playstation brand quite a bit, and feel as though they're losing part of that by having the exclusive series move to other platforms.
The community on PlayStation is definitely where it will be most popular. Just look at the speed running community. Most of it is on PlayStation because that's where they spent months grinding for better times.
It's very possible (likely, even) that it won't be 60 fps even on the PS4 Pro or Xbox One X.
lolI think Spyro is confirmed as playable racer.
Glacier Park is 3rd hub on Crash Team Racing where you fight with Komodo Joe snowy area.
Pretty hyped
Nice if true!

Oh shit 👀👀
Wow. Banjo and Mario would be great. I honestly didn't think of that but yea, that would be dope. A big reason I wanted Jak and Daxter tho is because they are ND made characters, so it would be pretty cool to see them in a "old" Naughtydog game :).
As for Mario/Banjo/Jak inhibited crossplay, that's a good point. Maybe they could do something like what Rocket League does and change Banjo/Mario to a generic racer/kart driver depending on what console your on?
I really don't even know what he's even complaining about when the actual, original games he's worked on are still Sony exclusive.

this tweet is from before the announcement, i think they just wanted to tease the game (i'm sure the same team runs crash and spyro's twitter accounts). personally i hope he's not in the game.
Not really.
The Samus, Mario and Luigi car skins in Rocket League are only available on the Switch version and they are replaced by a default one available for all platforms it has cross play with when you're playing online.
They could theoretically do the same for this game. Make Mario exclusive to Switch version, Banjo to Xbox but replace them by default Crash if you're racing online against someone using a platform exclusive character.
I think so, to be honest. Maybe not January but February as late.
Sony has the marketing, I just checked and Xbox hasn't posted the reveal trailer.
Oh god imagine Jak, Daxter, Ratchet and Clank as playable characters. That'd be something.
Edit: Spyro would be cool too for fans of Spyro. I think that's the most likely character to appear in the game anyway.

Banjo & Kazooie and Rash on Xbox One
So some shitstain leaks the game but confirming the framerate should stay a mistery? Fuck off lol.
Thank you for that, and honestly?. I can see where he's coming from, If I remember correctly ND's original reasoning for coming up with Crash in the first place was to create a Playstation mascot. That was their pitch all along, there's the infamous ads with the guy in the Crash suit outside of Nintendo's HQ as proof of that.they may fully own the game, but they still don't own the crash IP, so even if they wanted to put it on ps classic they still needed activision's permission, and now that we know about this remake, it's obvious that activision wouldn't have allowed it.
that's the thing with games with licensed characters in them. even if you fully own the game you're still not allowed to do whatever you want with it. in 20 years if sony wants to do something with the spider man game they made, they would need marvel's permission.
there's this super cringey reaction from a former ND employee.
so i guess the switch version isn't being done by beenox. they're mentioned by name on the covers of the ps4 and xbo versions, but not the switch one. for the n-sane trilogy it was something similar, vicarious visions' name was on the cover of the ps4/xbo versions but not the switch one because that port was done by toys for bob. i wonder who's doing the switch port?
just teasing the announcement? they're both activision IPs and the social media accounts are most likely run by the same team.
Very possible the Switch version is being done by another dev, which is a tad odd only because Beenox is VERY familiar with Nintendo systems and even did all their Skylanders games only on Nintendo systems (Swap Force Wii and Superchargers Racing on Wii and 3DS).
It's not impossible that Toys For Bob is on it again since they did trilogy on Switch, plus they can reuse their assets from it like character models and whatnot.
Y'know, as someone who really nitpicked the heck out of N. Sane Trilogy, I have to say that I really love this. It's a really great re-creation. The art team are nailing it with this.
If this is true then it's complete bullshit. I expected it to target 60fps on the base consoles nevermind the Pro and X lol...
I think the fact that it's coming to Switch at all suggests it's 60fps on the standard PS4 and XB1 considering that most current gen Switch ports from those consoles are 60fps on them as halfing the framerate for Switch is a great way to free up render time and actually have a shot at getting a Switch port running well.
Switch or not that didn't stop the Crash Trilogy from being 30fps on every console it came out for.
CTR being 60fps would be ideal. I'm sure all consoles (Switch included) wouldn't have any problem running the game at 60fps but I wouldn't be surprised if they stick to 30 just for the sake of being "faithful" to the source game.
Updated crash graphics with online play and we could have a serious contender for Mario Karts crown.
This is it. This is the screenshot that's really helping it set in that we're getting a CTR remake!
Every Crash racing game after the first one was multiplatform so I don't find this odd, hell Crash has almost the same amount of games on Nintendo platform than Sony (11 vs 14 iirc)
Don't forget some were even Nintendo-exclusive:
- Crash Bandicoot: The Huge Adventure (GBA)
- Crash Bandicoot 2: N-Tranced (GBA)
- Crash Bandicoot Purple/Spyro Orange (GBA)
- Crash Boom Bang! (DS)
Also funny thing was that Crash of the Titans had its reveal be leaked/world first in a Nintendo magazine, so briefly all it was known to come out for was Wii, DS, and GBA. Actually I think Titans was even leaked first as Crash Jackin' 07 on Wii websites. That's where I remember seeing it at least. :P
I think people still often see it as a Playstation brand.
I'm not saying I care that it's not exclusive, just explaining why people tend to feel the way they do.
