I like the optional visual cue for boosting, though I still wish there was also an option audio cue for beginners.

Don't be mean, Team Racing is great fun and Transformed is one of the highest budget kart racers in history.
I'm joking! I love TSR and have been shilling both games as Xmas gift bundle options since last year.

It's just going to be harder to keep people looking at Sonic while Crash seems to get the backing it should have had. I keep hoping TSR gets DLC, or maybe they'll go all out in the sequel. Perhaps transformations and team mechanic combined?

Hah sorry, hard to tell. There are so many people unfairly shitting on TSR that I'm always in defense mode for it :P

I actually wish Crash would borrow some of the team mechanics of TSR in this case since they were so much fun.

Oh, and it's over already huh?

So no online Ranked mode, but as was stated before there is some level of skill-based matchmaking.

A bit awkward she kept asking question and he was like "we can't talk about it yet", "no, it's this", "it actually works like that" haha

So Grand Prix contents are available to purchase in the Pit Stop after the season finishes. Neat.

that's absolutely great for me; because I'm probably not getting the game at launch after all (not that I don't want it, but I won't be able to afford as I planned), so I don't want to miss on Tawna or Baby T.; hopefully won't take long until I get the game! I was expecting they'd go in a route similar to Mario Tennis Aces with these events ~

I keep waiting for the catch. I suspect it will come in the price of pit stop items and Wumpa Coins probably being sold at a later date.

But so far everything seems too good to be true, ha ha.

It always feels like the dev team were in a meeting with an Activision exec going over sales of Insanity Trilogy

Exec: "Ok, blank check on your next project."

And before he could change his mind:

Don't think I've ever said this, but the frame rate really kills it for me. Comparing this to MK8, the lack of a fluid 60FPS has a massive impact.

It's not like the graphics of MK8 are lacking either, I really don't see why they couldn't have gotten a higher frame rate for CTR.

They said they put as much stuff as they could for the game to run at solid 30FPS.

All the complaints about 30 fps lock and I'm just hoping there won't be any frame tear in 4-player splitscreen

Hate the Race girl characters being playable because they dont look cute at all. They look like some depraved furry humanoids. Wish they were at least shrunken down to Crash/Coco's size.

But as someone who doesnt know too much about Crash, I love all the other characters, especially Fake Crash and the cute animals.

Welp, finally beat the Adventure mode of the original one more time before Nitro Fueled. It's insane how well this game holds up.

They're basically the same size as Tawna. Not sure what's weird about them.

Right? Been playing a lot lately too and it's making me more excited, I basically got almost everything I could get done in single player bar getting all platinum relics which I never bothered doing before. I got a week to do that, hmm...but I'm also stuck on Polar for those lol.

Man theese charachters skins...i'm never gonna go online and play. I can't stand looking at them and would loose it if someone with an ugly ass skin drove past me at the finnish line stealing my win.

Yep, it's like Team Fortress 2 all over again.

Fortunately there'll still be adventure mode for a less garish experience.

I like the recolours that are actually based on something (I super dig Orca Nash and White Tiger Tiny) but yeah some of them are too much. Do I need to look at McDonalds-ass looking red skin yellow hair Cortex?

So, how well are we expecting this game to review?

I think that even if it'll probably deserve like a 95, there's probably going to be a ton of "this game is outdated" coming from people who don't understand the mechanics.

We'll have better comparisons when it launches on Switch.
I feel like their port doesn't use the switch fully

Crash Trilogy had heavy drawbacks, esp. since the resolution was fixed 480p across the board. The level of optimization simply isn't the same

It's not Mario Kart levels of hype and nostalgia so it won't happen. It even has good competition and isn't a premier exclusive title for a system (and it plays a lot into those kind of reviews)

Name of Spyro DLC is Spyro and Friends.


Was just about to post that video.

Something in this video I didn't really notice before so far is when you closely look at the wheels of the kart during the drift, two lines appear on the wheels to indicate the perfect timing of the drift turbo.

Start of drift bar - Normal tires
Midway drift bar - Tires start to lit up with two lines on the outside of the wheels, black smoke from exhaust
Transition towards end of drift bar - The two lines on the tires move closer to each other, entire tire lights up more
End of drift bar - The two lines in the tires meet in the middle

Looks like this visual is to help with the timing of the perfect drift boost without having to look at the bar on the right. That's a very nice QoL improvement.
Wonder how they plan to depict this with hovercraft.

Question for anyone who's been paying attention: have we seen any adventure mode footage with Uka Uka as the player's guide yet?
