Your drifting system is not quick enough to take on me Plumber Boy!

But PAL Penta is just so fun to break the game with

You know they're not going to let anyone have a perfect stat character for online races or time trial leaderboards. If anything it'd disable online leaderboard submissions or would be in its own category for each track

i hope you can turn on PAL Penta with ranking disabled

I just hope it's fun

I want NTSC Penta because of the placeholder voices

Had this game as a kid and thought it was just a generic kart racer. Played it last month at a friend's house and he explained how drifting works since I never learnt as a kid and hadn't touched the game in over a decade. That's possibly my favourite version of drift boost mechanics in a racer. Needing to time a button press while drifting to get boosts is perfect for creating a skill ceiling.
it's a shame the tracks are quite boring though

how could you say that to polar pass

Probably getting it on Switch since the online is a lot cheaper than PS4. I hope there's crossplay but it seems unlikely with Sony being cucks in that regard.

>PS4 exclusive track
>Sony being snoy
I'm afraid that the closest to crossplay that we'll get is shared time trial leaderboards, if anything.

If PS4 is getting exclusive content in the form of the low poly costumes, then no way will Sony allow cross play

I want to main N. Brio for adventure, please, don't tell me I'm alone. If he doesn't get in on team Bandicoot, I want to slap someone.

Wait, there's a PS4 exclusive track now? Last I heard was the retro skins and the dumb pins.

>What characters do you want in?
Tawna, N. Trance, Nina

A retro track was revealed in a press release after the retro skins were revealed. No official reveal has happened yet.
But think to yourself: do you honestly think they'd let people play a retro track alongside people playing the normal version of the track? Same with the low-poly skins.

Fucking rip crossplay I guess. Now to wait and see what my friends get the game on, and what the Yea Forumseekends are going to be on, in terms of platform. I fucking hate this shit.

Go fuck yourself.

How about Baby T? who couldn't be a T-Rex because he eats bog plants?

I'm okay with wrath and CNK retard. Nina and Twinsanity pissed all over Cortex and made him from intimidating into assclown.

I doubt they really need the hog that badly.

I'm thinking he's dead

>Nina and Twinsanity pissed all over Cortex and made him from intimidating into assclown.
The two are not mutually exclusive; Cortex has been losing steam since 2 and lost all intimidation once Uka-Uka entered the picture. If nothing else, Nina further demonstrates his cruelty since he's not above experimenting on his own blood.

Yeah, sure, but my point is that he isn't essential for their survival. What stats should Baby T get though?

>Wrath
but user, Crunch was totally uncalled for. Dingodile has alot of muscle strength, knows how to handle weapons, has atleast moderate intelligence AND is loyal without brainwashing. I don't get why Cortex didn't infuse Dingodile.

I can agree with you if we keep that stupid ''academy of evil'' and it's cartoony goofiness out. Maybe Nina was uh, ''cold'' and got brought back? blue skin and all.

>Dingodile
Mate, he's a villain in name only. Disregarding his pyromaniac tendencies he's a fairly nice guy.

He wanted to do a sadism on Penta, what makes you think he would be agreeable at all?

>but user, Crunch was totally uncalled for.
Really it's just a matter of pride. Crunch was what Crash was supposed to be: a competent and loyal general to lead his Cortex Commandos. This is even explicitly mentioned in the first interaction between Cortex and Crash in the game.
Cortex's motivation for the game was pretty high-stakes too. He just explicitly wants Crash dead and that alone is a terrifying motivation for a villain to have. Then the rest of the game was a limpdick noodle that failed to do anything notable and squandered not only an incredible voice cast but set a horrible first impression for Crash on 6th gen consoles.

any switch footage yet? all I can find is ps4 pro

Cartoon goofiness has been a staple of Crash since the series' conception, but I do agree the Academy of Evil was a hair too superfluous. On the other hand, I did like the idea of the scientists going to school together, and fighting off some of their forgotten experiments was an added bonus.

Just downsize it into a creepy boarding school.

youtube.com/watch?v=XlA7VPde3qo

well, Cortex does strike me as a petty personality. Is he even logical over emotional? he plagiarized essential tweaks N. Brio made to his evolvo ray. Then there is him ignoring input from him ''but Cortex, we haven't determined the reason on past failures!'' in CNK the loading screens show how Cortex with disdain on his face shoots Oxide. I find it funny because the two are pretty similair to me. Only is Oxide's emotional immaturity an 11 compared to Cortex's 6-7.

sure, but keep it as boarding school because they were unruly or something. Facilitating evil like that, for me, takes the edge off as it's no longer somethinmg the authorities try to squash. Wasn't the backstory that Cortex and Brio did commit terroristic acts?

>Screenshots
>From the old shitty looking build
Is this the only thing we have for switch?

I still subscribe to the original character backstories where Cortex was born to a family of clowns and his disdain for them bullying him was to murder everyone in a tentfire, enroll himself in highschool, get bullied there but still made a friend in Nitrus Brio, then the school explodes while they were conveniently out of the blast range, then them repeating this process across the globe (including Chernobyl) and becoming worldwide criminals before secluding themselves to a remote Australian island to try to get back at the world.

>Wasn't the backstory that Cortex and Brio did commit terroristic acts?
Yep!

Yeah, unruly children and later terrorists? I doubt they'll ever use that t-word though… It's kinda icky to use in the USA innit?

Satellite tech is widespread for decades now, wouldn't the special forces of New Zealand or Australia make a move? Maybe give him some deterrent weapon?

As far as the world is concerned, the string of explosions left behind by Cortex and Brio straight up disappeared for 5 years so the trail had gone cold. The closest thing to an explosion would've been when Brio's battle caused the tower to crumble, but who in the civilized world cares about some building on an island with no one on it? The next closest explosion would've been yet another year later from the events of the Super Cortex Vortex exploding in the stratosphere and bits crashing into Earth.

>D-Pad confirmed to have no function

Interference like you see on google maps you mean? you know, weird glitches that conspiracy nuts use for their ''theories''

Daily reminder that they actually added Dingodile's tail, something he never had while sitting in the kart for either racing game.

It's not that farfetched, really. Do recall the Wumpa Archipelago was previously home to a lost island civilization that somehow hid themselves for thousands of years before dying out.

assymetry is a thing, look at N. Gin. so, should he have his tail curled behind the seat?

As opposed to having his tail shoved into his ass, I think having it sticking up in his chair isn't that bad.
Dingodile in general is too big for these karts to start with. Only reason that Tiny fits is because he's got little legs and is otherwise all upper-body.

This, I was always bummed out that Brio was absent from the original yet had an item named after him
I doubt he'd be on team bandicoot though

Is Ripper Roo the most skilled driver? He STILL has his arms tied for some reason but he managed to reach the halfquarter finale.

how so? team cortex sure as hell wouldn´t want him?

I just can see the pixels man, I wonder if someone did autismcraft pixelart/3d models of CTR.

It's the Crash kart, but recoloured for Papu. I believe the stripes are part of the customisation system.

my bad, it's a team crash kart indeed. which karts will you use? I'm thinking Cortex and Gasmoxian, the rest are too fugly.

>Crash Bash
>Uka summons Brio because reasons despite having actively betrayed Cortex in 2.
>lolno put dingodile and tiny on Aku's team because ???
>also rilla roo exists and he's definitely on Uka's team

Honestly there's also the problem of Papu Papu being considered for Uka's side despite him having no affiliation with Cortex, if anything he's more affiliated with Aku since in the original backstory of Crash 1, Aku is actually a witch doctor from the same tribe as Papu. Aku allied with Crash out of coincidence and also because Papu couldn't be assed to be concerned about the biological waste being dumped from the neighboring island.

Team Crash kart, PAX footage showed that all the CNK karts actually had the sides cut out and everything gets recolored to that character's kart color.
Also notice that in that screenshot Papu is kinda small, apparently they did some resizing shit to ensure compatibility with the kart swappings. This also means Oxide and his hovercar got way fucking smaller too.

''papu resizing''

you can call it what it is user, Papu Papu hit the gym. How do you feel about scrublords buying Oxide?

Dunno, it might be a stretch to align Brio with Aku Aku when his biggest role in the games was as a boss.
I don't think characters will be particularly aligned with teams in this though, the CNK karts are just being included as interchangeable vehicles as far as I can tell.

But he has yay 1 and 2.

Papu Is a fucking midget, it's really weird. Oxide is a scrawny alien so it looks alright, he was smaller in CNK too, but Papu just looks wrong

>buying oxide
>when the unlock condition is to clear adventure mode
Let's be real though, people are getting Oxide edition for pre-order bonuses and Oxide being bundled in with them is inconsequential to anyone who actually is a fan of the original CTR.

Another menu screenshot, character select is more or less the same layout as the previous build but there's some new shit worth mentioning. First off, they actually redid the character portraights so they don't look retarded faggot shit anymore (look at how much better Crash's is), and now your three stats are actually displayed. Still don't know if karts affect stats or not but Cortex has his vanilla stats looking at this so they're probably aesthetic only. I'm guessing triangle just shows or hides the stats.

Attached: CO0QL03.jpg (1207x713, 96K)

didn't he misfit in his kart in the Original? fat and legs literally outside the seat.

What victory platform should Oxide have? CNK had him tapdancing...

Maybe, but because the mask powerup.

>clear adventure mode
as in, 100% it or just beat him? as the crystal grabs/CTR coins are the casual filters.

I dont' mean for teams in the same way as Crash Nitro Kart, but moreso which of the masks will protect them.
Also Oxide being playable paves the way for Velo masks as well, but I don't expect that to cover anyone other than Oxide, N. Trance, Zam, Zem, and Velo himself.
Papu definitely isn't an Uka ally and Brio is more of a reformed villain so his alliance with anyone isn't exactly stable, but at the end of the main trilogy he is definitely anti-Cortex and by-extension Uka.

Stats are tied to characters. Karts are 100% cosmetic.

Why did they change crash's big smiling grin to a SÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖÖY face?

Isn't it going to be 30 fps locked?

In that case, pfff

Dingodile, Pinstripe and Tiny look like sexual predators so?

PS4 Pro will supposedly run it at 60

4 player split screen gameplay already?

why. It's Y2K19

Nu-ghty dog once again gives Crash a cold shoulder (probably because neil is a faggot and nobody from OG Naughty Dog even works there anymore) but series composers are totally okay with lending a hand. Hopefully this means they're stepping up the bass which the N. Sanity remasters fucked up on doing.
It was also confirmed that you can switch between the new versions and original versions of the songs like in the Spyro remaster, but don't know if it'll be pre-consolized or not for original songs.

…. but all these except Dingodile look better, Dingodile looks like he has entered rape frenzy when he spotted a target.

Classic for my initial playthrough obviously, but I like the inclusion of the new mode for post-completion freeplay

I hope we get the backgrounds when choosing a character, like, N. Gin is hammering on a rocket and Cortex is using a particle gun on it. These little things count for me.

Nah new looks better, the old ones are clearly just random shots they took of the characters in a model viewer. Tiny looks awful in the old one

Trophy Girls. Pretty much any Crash character I like is already playable.

>Will the online be fun?

I think so. I'm getting it for the Switch since I have the online and I want all three kart racers for it (MK8, Sonic, CTR). I'm hoping the Switch online stays fairly active.

How about the fact that people got to put characters into different karts and literally nothing changed?

Have they discussed any changes to the Single Player mode? Can you switch characters? Are they adding the Nitro Kart levels to it?

I don’t know, portable CTR would be cool, if I ever went anywhere.

They've confirmed a classic mode where you're locked into a single character and a "Nitro Fueled" mode where you can "customize" your experience.
What the hell that actually means isn't actually outlined but a lot of people have put 2 and 2 together as being a callback to Crash Nitro Kart's adventure mode allowing you to swap character and thus kart classes through a menu.

we need an evil handling char, Crunch will be the good speedster. Handlers are animals, literally. so how about Boar as evil handler? you know, the one Crash made go... hog wild.

Will 30 FPS actually affect the gameplay? I don’t have a PS4 Pro

Nah, some people claim to get headaches. I won't attack or defend that stance, as I am not among them.

>you immature fucking child?

lmao man, hey Pot, here's Kettle.

Depends if it's the the kind of 30 fps where the frametiming is garbage or the game ties logic to framerate. Nobody knows, all gameplay shown so far has been on PS4 Pro so we really need to see how it actually runs on other consoles before we can say for sure.

given the original CTR is below 30, it will be fine

isn't a ''tick'' which is used for logic, 1/16th of a second by default in vidya?

calling something a rword fword shit is different from calling out someone for what they truly are: an immature child.

N. Sane trilogy was 60 fps on PC so just wait for the PC version

>isn't a ''tick'' which is used for logic, 1/16th of a second by default in vidya?
Most multiplayer games with client-server structure do it like this. However, most games in general just run the game at whatever frame rate and that's the whole "simulation" of the game world, updated once per frame drawn.

30FPS will undeniably affect how the game feels to play, but CTR was originally made with that frame rate in mind. I think the bigger problem is that PS4 causes more input lag than PS1 did.

I do, how did you know?!

so how do modern games prevent high framerates from making the game run too fast? you have it with emulators, try running a PS1 game in 60 :^)

I'm not a virgin and sex is madly overrated. Heroin outpleasures it by like, a factor 5.

also don't bully me your anal-born child, I was having fun with that user. we were laughing and bonding.

The game takes a moment to load the assets for the next character that you've selected.
Mario Kart 8 has this exact same problem, it's not some unique pre-release issue for CTRNF

>what is delta time
Variable frame rates not making games run at wrong speed is achieved by checking how much time has passed since the last frame was drawn and using that to calculate how far you need to move an object moving at certain speed.
Doing this real time is inaccurate though, and that's why jumpy frame rates often cause games to actually run differently, even though there's no glaring slowdown.

I'm a code brainlet, so you know. what is the best option to make a game's logic be as consistent as possible? as I see this may form a problem for competitive play otherwise.

That’s weird hopefully they give the carts stats later on since the game is still in development

Fuck you for wanting that kart+character meta bullshit to taint CTR.

That's weird, hopefully they give the karts stats later on, since the game is still in development.

Helped your spelling dear

no fuck you, this is master racer, Pinstripe main. When I was a little kiddie I was the best CTR player in the world as i beat everything on hard, all gems in adventure mode. all platinum relics. I welcome this change so fuck yourself.

As opposed to a character only meta?

Separate server that runs a simulation of the game at constant tickrate. This is how practically all online FPS games work, but many other multiplayer games as well.
When they are played offline the game runs that server process next to the game and the game is in communication with that server.

This way the simulation runs predictably, isn't tied to any performance issues and everyone sees the same things. It also makes using any kind of illicit cheats much harder.

Very cool can you please reply to all of my posts with correct grammar and punctuation? Thanks in advance

is this also why I swear i hit someone or didn't hit someone, but the server disagrees with me?

It's moreso how CTR is from an era where arcade racing was actually popular, so character effectively ARE the stats, and they're easy to recognize without more than a quick glance at the minimap or placement HUD.
If every racer had no stats at all and it'd boil down to kart stats, you'd have no way to know who has what stats until you get a good look at what they're driving. In normal racers this is easy to recognize because the karts are extremely visually distinct, but kart racers are unique in that the characters themselves take up more real estate and thus are what grab your attention.
I just really absolutely despise how bad Mario Kart Wii went with kart stats that started in Mario Kart DS. Sure in DS it was a meta of certain karts and they were all very recognizable but in Wii they doubled down and made characters affect stats as well outside of simply weight classes.

This is Crash Bandicoot, not some woke nugaming shit. They're actually neglected characters here.

Tawna specifically never appeared after the first game even though she is entirely canon, and Nina was a fan-favorite back in the day.

Guys, Oxide has 4 legs.

l*l*l*l does he have 3 sphincters? also, do the females have 3 cooches while the males also got 3 penisses?

where did Coco come from anyway? Cortex's last attempt with Bandicoots?

This is Crash Bandicoot, not fucking Steven Universe.

Keep carts as visual, we will have plenty of characters to form a good meta

His Dutch voice actor was a woman, I legit believed he was a butch lesbian as kid!

They're probably going to have a system where you choose your kart and racer separately.

The 4 kart classes are actually pretty flexible.
>Handling karts for beginners
>Rounded karts for people who haven't made up their mind
>Top speed karts for time trials
>Accel karts to make up for inevitable slowdown
The only thing they could adjust without it causing a huge issue is having handling stat also influence powerslide boost strength to give the likes of Polar and Pura a fighting chance because they're otherwise too slow to compete with the likes of other classes when you get to the point where everyone is of equal skill. Yes, even on twisty turny tracks, they can't perform well enough.

There's not really a meta character in CTR. Certain maps favor intermediate A, certain maps favor intermediate B, and some favor advanced racers. Only the beginner ones are really just plain bad.

Are Ripper Roo, Komodo Bros and Tiny all under his control as he wants to stop you? N. Gin just startled Crash and Crash went wumpa I'd reckon.

I am going to support this. Oxide for 3 butts! Add 3 sections in his hovercraft on the chair!

Yeah when I say that I mean certain characters will probably show up on certain tracks
I just don’t wanna get dicked for picking my boy polar

Unfortunately for you polar was the worst character on every track so unless they change it you're shit outta luck

Tawna and Coco had already been affected by the Evolvo-Ray by the time the Crash 1 opening cutscene happened. Tawna was going to be the next bandicoot to be put through the Cortex Vortex and brainwashed but Crash interfered. Coco was likely after that.
Ripper Roo, Koala Kong, Tiny Tiger, both Komodo brothers, and Pinstripe were already sent through the vortex before the opening of Crash 1. Brio alludes to them as "past failures." I include Tiny and Komodo bros because they were already designed at that point, as seen in the scrapped FMV intro that Universal had animated.
Dingodile was the only new mutant after 2 and it can be safely assumed that he was also a product of the pre-1 experiments but his trip through the vortex was an actual success.

I remember using Polar for adventure as kid because I thought ''beginner'' meant ''easiest to play'' fuck you naughty dog and your misleading text. I remember speedsters falling off the hairpin on the ice lake at polar pass.

So unfortunate I just want to make him a well rounder like crash because I always end up preferring how he controls

post trophy girls

Switch, unless it runs worse.
Base PS4 is 30 fps anyway.

You're delusional if you don't think they're cm going to casualized the controls. This is a game from the ps1 era. Did you not play REmake 2?

Will Crash Bash ever return??

I Always thought some mutants were N. Brio's work and others Cortex. Cortex mutants being higher quality.

Brio: Ripper Roo, Koala Kong, Tiny, Komodo Bros, Pinstripe.

Cortex: Crash, Tawna, Dingodile, Crunch, Coco (presumably), Evil Twins (accidental).

This is what I believed since childhood, with Dingodile being Cortex trying to go furhter (he being the lone Hybrid of 2 animals) but then traveler's tales came with Crunch and thus shattering my headcanon Dingodile was some new type of mutant.

Resident Evil 2 remake made the controls a lot more complex though. Yeah there's no tank controls, but if you ever actually played the original you'd know how easy they were to use once you get used to them. At that point the shooting is super easy since there's so much auto aim.

The evolvo-ray was Brio's creation and the vortex was Cortex's creation
It was a joint effort on their part

Didn't Brio fix a critical bug with Cortex's evolve ray? Then Cortex took it for himself, angering Brio.

The beginners are the easiest to play though.

They make crystal grab and CTR coins impossible, they lack ''oompfh'' for these. Also, did you ever face Oxide with a beginner? it sure taught me proper racing, but shit was hard.

If you know how to drift which most beginners probably didn't or sucked at. That's when their speed becomes a problem. They are easy to not fuck up with regardless thanks to the steering.

can you make the Polar Pass hairpin with a speedster? I never could, as the turbo pad would put you beyond a place you can brake.

Yep, you have to take the far left going into the corner and cut inside just like the last turn on Papu's Pyramid. The heavier karts need really good positioning.

Someone posted an idea in a thread last night of being able to swap driving classes for characters which sounded pretty good to me. The ability to choose between a Beginner Crash, Intermediate Crash and Advanced Crash depending on your preference and skill level.

The character backstories and even Mind of Mutant are consistent with the fact that all of the evolvo-ray tech was of Brio's design with Cortex claiming credit and ownership.

Papu papu's last turn, hm, as heavy it's far easier to do the skipjump. atleast for me. It's sitll rocket surgery though. Cool though, as I remember the fucking AI's sliding off that turn in Polar's Pass. Say, you happen to know how the n tropy and oxide ghosts got made? did an ND dev actually drive them in the game?

Nice try.

We are in the presence of the best remake.

>not doing anything unique means it doesn't do anything at all
shut up

I never played the original, but accelerate is just up on the d-pad? wut? Kinda vague

N. Tropy is 100% player input, yes. In fact the biggest giveaway is that his ghost actually has dynamic steering animations while powersliding (when the A.I powerslide they lack a 'turn-in' animation at full lock).

How about Oxide? the polygon overload isn't a problem if you're alone/two is it?

why is Dingodile a hybrid?

It's X. The D-Pad is just for steering and reversing.

What do you think about the boost meter position in CNK? It makes it easier to see your boosts.

Attached: cnk boost meter.jpg (1200x642, 101K)

If you had the power of genetic engineering, would you make cool as fuck hybrid animals to be part of your army? I sure would

Honestly I don't think it's necessary once you get the timing down.

Yeah that and the tracks were good design. keep.

but why only him? I would push Nitros Oxide in the evolvo ray to see what happens. Vin Diesel?

>Get to play as fat NTR mime
God fucking bless

Unironically one of the best changes that CNK added to CTR's formula
Along with:
>Boost combo counter being on by default instead of NTSC-J only
>Flexible adventure mode allowing you to change class whenever
>3d track previews instead of 2d minimap previews in arcade/time trial modes
>actually having the final boss playable
>it's the best crash has looked from 6th gen onward up until N.Sane trilogy came out

How much of a shitter can you possibly be to need an easy mode for Crash fucking Team Racing

The option to have it there would be good.

check your ableist privilege

you never saw a game journalist, did you? They'd lose to Polar on easymode while using Oxide.

I like that idea

It doesn't actually make the game easier, from what I can tell it sounds like it'll make it more obvious when the time to boost is by making the tires change color in addition to the exhaust.
If someone still can't manage with training wheels and video tutorials they legitimately need to go back to mario kart.

Nitro Fueled has some beginner's controls scheme as an option similar to MK8, which also changes the boost gauges to help make it easier to do perfect miniturbos.

Pretty much sounds like what mentioned

>How much of a shitter can you possibly be to need an easy mode for Crash fucking Team Racing
They're western Video Game Journalists, these are the guys that get stuck in the same spot in a tutorial level for hours, can't move, aim, and shoot in an fps at the same time, and constantly bitch and moan about games being "too hard" for them which in their narrow minds must mean that it's too hard for literally anybody else.

I mean, replace the minimap with a speedometer and you have exactly what lots of people genuinely want to have: boost counter, turbo meter, and a hangtime meter.
Only way they could improve on that would be to make a visible reserve meter

>western Video Game Journalists
You don't know pain until you watch this retard play:

This is the same moron that had trouble with the cuphead tutorial.

>visible reserve meter
Defeats the charm. Not being able to see it is exactly what makes it so satisfying to trigger. Like a magic force has blessed your kart with speed because you're performing well.

I miss the old Crash series font so much.

I wonder how Dingodile feels...

It's downloadable as extension for your office.

I mean, via emulator it's possible to see the reserve variable itself and seeing it doesn't make the speed you get any less satisfying to get.
Going fast is the reward, user. Relish it.
If they keep it as an optional thing I don't mind, but the charm doesn't vanish because you can see what's going on under the hood, if anything that makes you appreciate just how well the systems work together.

Good additions

The original CTR had 15 character slots. If they're adding the CNK characters, you can add in:
>Oxide (already confirmed but keeping count)
>Crunch
>N Trance
>Velo
>Zim
>Zam
>Krunk
>Nash
>Norm
>Geary
That brings it up to 25, 26 if Norm is a cocksucking motherfucker and takes two slots.

I predict the last 5 slots will be used on
>Brio
>Tawna
>obj_motherfucker
>Komodo Moe
>Spyro or Koala Kong

If they don't include the CNK bosses though, that leaves more room for other characters. What do you predict, Yea Forums?

PS4 will have the most active online

I would like them to add the ND characters that were left out. (Brio, Koala Kong, Tawna, etc.) And then add to those who want.

This looks like a decent thread, but do we really gotta start out with bait each time?

Realistically it'll just stop at 25. It already looks filled in enough without the last row.

It'd be weird for them to show off 30 slots, and then just randomly can 5 of them.

Everyone is talking about characters they want in the game but is it even sure that we'll get new ones?

That was a mockup, user

Yes, the devs themselves already confirmed Crunch, and it's highly likely Brio and Koala Kong etc will appear since they have access to N. Sane's assets.

Tawna and Spyro have been hinted at and people say the entire CNK roster is confirmed but the only thing I’ve seen for sure is Crunch

>yfw Rilla Roo makes it in

Ayo, is this shit real? It was posted ages ago, but no one talks about it. It looks like one of pinstripes henchmen are playable.

Attached: sfsfsfsfsc.png (1167x656, 837K)

What's it edited from?

It's nice that it at least tells us their stats outside of the adventure mode select screen for once. That way new players can know how everyone works easily.

The original had 8 characters, so someone took the char select outline and filled in the empty spaces to see how many could fit

Was kinda sure those empty slots were edited by tinfoil roster people

If Spyro and Tawna were hinted at, then we're probably not getting the CNK boss characters because really, who gives a shit about them? People give more of a shit about Ebenezer Von Clutch than they do the CNK bosses.

Attached: coco kart.jpg (1267x792, 247K)

Where does Tag Team Racing compare to the other CTR games? It's the only one I played.

If they show up as boss characters then we probably will since this is also a CNK remake

CTTR and CTR are nothing alike

I'm so sorry for you.

They have cars and that's it. They are totally different games.

It's hard to say since the extent of the CNK content hasn't been elaborated on beyond "characters and track." No word if CNKs story mode will be included.

Absolute dogshit in comparison, half the cast is missing. Ugly textures and artwork everywhere.

That said, game had a shitload of content, skins were and a lot of the voicelines were genuinely fucking hilarious, and I thought the local multiplayer had a lot of mileage in the battle arenas where you were essentially playing Slayer in Halo with a bunch of Warthogs, with one person driving and the other shooting.

inb4 it's pinstripe in a hat

Than explain why the CNK tracks were now made to fit with the actual old Crash stuff?
Don't mind Nina, but she seriously needs to reintroduced or she'll have to be retconed like Crunch and the other post NaughtyDog characters.

Attached: 1554435128848.png (246x242, 59K)

Crunch is already confirmed

Mario Kart adds random shit like Pink Gold Peach to it's roster each game. I don't think the equivalent of Bowser Jr. is going to confuse people.

Will they actually fix him and fix Wrath of Cortex next?

The next step would be a new game or redo Twinsanity.

Please, god

Switch because I just love portability that much

Is there anyone who actually wants Zam and Zem? Even Rilla Roo has some fans, but these guys have like zero fans.

This is literally the only game I'm hyped for this year. I've been playing Mario Kart 8 and it's putting me to fucking sleep with how boring the driving is compared to CTR

She's a flag girl so yes.

Make a real Crash 4 introduce both Crunch, Nina, and N.Trance I guess.
But keep Crunch a villain in the end.

That is actually a different character named Isabella

Also Sharks are around Australia so it would make sense to use a shark. Hell the Evil Twins are Parakeets which are native too there as well.

REmake2 is basically RE2 remade as RE4, a game from the PS2/GC era, with a bunch of fancy graphics.
Tank controls just feel like shit, it has nothing to do with difficulty or something like that.
Also you can actually miss your shots in REmake2

Post screenshots, if you dare admitting to having visited Reddit.

you'll be surprised how much easier you'll leave the cpus in the dust with this knowledge.

Just learn the timing to max it out or at the very least aim for 75%+, it's not that hard since you already have the fundamentals down pat.
The real challenge is considering your corners and how many boosts you can get with each turn on top of how big of a boost in said turns.

They confirmed there would be more character skins than the PS4 exclusive retro skins and the pre-order star skins.

Tag Team Racing is so bad it's only worth playing it because the single player mode is you doing platform shit as Crash without the vehicles.

Why? How does Tawna get a pass if people are hating on the Trophy Girls?

Maybe because in N. Sane Trilogy they showed her defending themselves from the scientists before being captured.

PAX gameplay shows the map being by itself, with the speedometer/gauges, and being with the training wheels boost meter.

Aside from speedrunning meetups like agdq you really won't be getting more than 1 really high level player on the same console as another. Part if it is the lack of multitaps but also just these godlike players don't live near enough to one another.

I just want an idea of what all this mini turbo bullshit looks like in a competitive environment.

I mean, realistically you're going to get hit by something or you'll be unable to take an ideal racing line because of obstructions.
Saffi fire isn't coming back though since it's caused by an integer overflowing and becoming lower than 0 (which is also why it stops decreasing and thus gives infinite max speed).
People who played at PAX can confirm that froggying??? and reserves are back. But people with autistic level skill didn't get to dip their toes into it. Hopefully we see some of those faces try to go to best buy for the demo in a few weeks to see how close things get.
