Here's 16 minutes of customization menu footage from the two streams that happened yesterday. There's also glimpses of skins in the actual races that were not seen in the menus if anyone wants to dig through that,
UHN and Criken are both part of Rooster Teeths LP family so they get invited to this sort of shit with Activation all the time. It's on UberHaxorNovas vods on Twitch.
Nathaniel Parker
Not to play devil's advocate but I'd much rather talk about new game news. I like Bandicooch as much as the next guy but if you're looking to put out take it to /trash/
Just you wait, they'll confirm the CTTR platforming sections.
Cooper Long
Is Hyper Spaceway gonna happen?
Bentley Gomez
I guess so, although in the GBA CNK character select he was just called Norm. Also iirc during the boss race it's implied Small Norm is the main Norm since he's the only one who counts as a racer and Big Norm just drops obstacles.
>Just you wait, they'll confirm the CTTR platforming sections. Honestly I'd be perfectly ok with that since I loved those as a kid
Mason Nguyen
Bought one just to play CTR at 60fps.
Adrian Walker
>he doesn't know
Levi Wood
Dumb youtubers who were at a pre-release event misheard that CTTR stuff was in the game, and had to apologize for false info after releasing their videos
Colton Gray
If multiple people said the same shit then they did not mishear anything, instead the activision rep fucked up.
Cttr tracks were garbage and worst part of the game
Dylan Richardson
I feel really bad for Beenox right now. Imagine Activision coming to your office one day and saying that ya'll have to get the game room ready because some big-name E-celeb is coming over to shill your game. So the day comes, and it's some literal manchild named Uberhaxornova who was popular with 12 year olds about ten years ago. You try your best to keep up a convincing smile as the game's booted up. The world will soon get to see the colorful stages and fun animations you poured into every character you've been programming away at for the last few years. But instead, all you get is >"Dude haha lmao it's ya BOI UBERHAXORNOVA" >Is complete ass at driving and doesn't even bother learning the controls. >"Haha, who even are these characters haha I don't play Crash." >Continues placing dead last to easy AI. >"Haha don't forget to LIKE COMMENT AND SUBSCRIBE!" Then to top it all off, you have to hand the asswipe a medal that no one else will get. This is the face of Hell itself, and we all got to witness it.
>but TTR is practically a different genre of game. It wasn't that different, it just had that car fusion mechanic. And way less emphasis on drifting IIRC.
Benjamin Cooper
>Crash Nitro Kart cast Why? Fucking cancer. Ruins based CTR
Ayden Martin
>sonychads get to play at 60fps while switchomos have to play at sub 30fps
Why has this fps meme been so popular the last few months? If you can dodge a Blood-Starved Beast at 30 fps you can play a kart racer at 30 fps.
William King
cringe, Nitro Kart was great and there is no problem with adding more tracks and content into a kart racer
this, but I hated that Jericho guy and someone more, they looked way too unimpressed
Mason Rogers
>If you can dodge a Blood-Starved Beast at 30 fps you can play a kart racer at 30 fps. You can dodge bsb at like 5 fps though. Literally just walk around him as he attacks and most of his attacks won't ever get near you.
>wanting tracks that will blow ass in CTR ??? Those maps would not work in CTR dude. They're entirely different games.
Henry Perez
Rings of Uranus would be super fun though Infinite drifting + some ramps Items going everywhere Fun chaos
Tyler Rodriguez
Of course it's 60fps on PS4. It's a fucking Kart Racer that's also available on Switch why wouldn't it run at 60fps on a much more powerful hardware?
Aaron Perez
Rings of Uranus would suck ass. It would play like an even easier Coco park.
Jason Edwards
>why wouldn't it run at 60fps on a much more powerful hardware? Because it's being made by the developers of Bee Movie Game and Skylanders: SuperChargers Racing
Adrian Rogers
Yes, if the content is shit
Blake Gonzalez
>why wouldn't it run at 60fps on a much more powerful hardware? Because it's been confirmed that it's locked at 30 fps on all consoles? Don't tell me you're that poster that said they got a PS4 pro for 60fps CTR.
Ryan Thomas
>and Skylanders: SuperChargers Racing I always forget the madmen actually did a racing game out of their IP. How bad was it?
It's jus a port of the racing bits from the main SuperChargers version (which Beenox handled while VV did the other stuff) for Wii and 3DS which couldn't handle the rest of the game.
Chase Garcia
No fucking way. I refuse to believe they're retarded enough to get a fucking kart racer to run at acceptable framerate on PS4pro.
Zachary Jones
Reeee 30 fps *sips so(y)lent* BING BING WAHOO!
Nathaniel Stewart
>I refuse to believe the developers of Guitar Hero Smash Hits are retarded enough to get a fucking kart racer to run at acceptable framerate on PS4pro.
Carson Brown
Believe it nerd. It sucks too and we can only speculate why it's this way but it's what we got stuck with.
Evan Hill
Nitro Kart's faults were in its wonky physics, not design. It was aesthetically one of the best post-ND titles Crash games to date and could have been better if not for Universal's pressuring
Henry Nelson
Despite it adding more content, I agree. No one but fags on here give a shit about anything past the original, and I say this having played CTTR. They all seem like a bunch of off brand characters you would see painted on the wall of a YMCA somewhere. Fuck anyone who isn't part of the original cast
Gabriel Murphy
>off brand Charles Zembillas designed Velo you fucking retard
Gabriel Foster
Well I guess you would really hate Spyro being in the game then, huh?
James Williams
I dont car if God himself came down and endorsed these characters. Look at the pic in and tell me that those are good character designs. They look like shit. I liked Spyro as well, but it's really not a necessary addition
Ryder Howard
CNK characters were all designed by Zembillas
Matthew Scott
Those are good character designs. It's your opinion if you think they look like shit. Personally i'm going to main Nash and Little Norm just to anger puristfags.
Julian Morales
Care to explain why they look like shit?
John Cooper
No, I bought a Switch because games actually came out for it.
James Powell
It's 30fps on all platforms. Sorry to shit on your infantile consolewarfaggotry, tranny.
Christopher Gray
Calm down, autismo, and gamers say they're so good at gaming and they can adapt to anything.
Adrian Mitchell
I'm probably just being butthurt, but I played Crash 1-3, Twinsanity, CTR, and CTTR. It just feels like these random characters that are lumped in that I know nothing about. >edgy Crash >purple egg >oogabooga nigger >goblin >bicentennial man >little mime >big mime >little ork >big ork >landshark is okay design
Brody Scott
HAHAHAHA I said the N word guys let me in the club!
Am i not getting a meme? That track is a literal circle.
Jason Bailey
It's a literal circle
Jacob Torres
Will this game be actually perfect?
Angel Cooper
Oogabooga nigger wasn't the best descriptor. Papu papu at least has a clear tribal design and he looks like the leader of said tribe. That thing looks like a clown or some shit that got lost in the Congo
He's an ape person from an alien planet. In all fairness Krunk is probably the weakest of the boss designs. Nash, the Norms and Velo are perfectly good. The only CNK characters I legit could live without are Zem and Zam, and that's less due to the designs and more that they're filler characters with zero development.
Adrian Green
Maybe you should fuck off back to your r/crashbandicoot discord server, faggot.
Genuine question, why the fuck is locked 30fps such a dealbreaker to some people? The original wasn’t 60fps.
Hudson Hernandez
It's literally the only thing they can shitpost about. Game is gonna be 60 fps when it releases for PC anyway
Camden Green
Ever play Mario Kart Double Dash? One of the tracks is a simple pill-shape and it's one of the most popular tracks in the series.
Justin Lewis
Because their eyes and brains aren't capable of processing information from anything less than 60fps.
Justin Foster
Most of the time 60FPSposters are just trying to bait everyone.
Jackson Price
durr hurr 60 FPS IS UNEXCEPTABLE FOR A KART RACER. It's a coping mechanism for Sonicfags, because their game is ass.
Alexander Johnson
This is supposed to be a "remake" on modern hardware that is 10,000x more powerful. Yet they couldn't even manage 30fps.
Evan Rogers
CTR was always too slow compared to other racers and the fps cap is just brutal. Activision doesn't give a shit and knows their fans will eat shit anyway. Just like Wow Classic "layering"
Jose King
>"""remake""" lmao, fuck off retard
Dominic Phillips
Maybe its aesthetics were fine but it's tone/story wasn't. And I refuse to believe that shit isn't important. It puts a damper on the experience. The villains and dialogue of NK were extremely cringey and like something out of a budget kids movie.
Adam Gomez
>Yet they couldn't even manage 30fps You assume this. Perhaps it was intentional, same as the N. Sane trilogy being deliberately at 30fps.
Xavier Russell
>CTR was always too slow compared to other racers and the fps cap is just brutal Unless you're comparing it to F zero or wipeout, no.
Ian Carter
It literally is a remake. They're not adding new stages as far as I'm aware. The major change is new graphics, yet they couldn't even reach 60fps with hardware that is 10,000x more powerful than the 90s.
John Taylor
>they're good designs (for some reason deemed fact) >it's your opinion if they're bad Dumb
Isaiah Green
It's slower than everything except Mario Kart
>cinematic 30fps! No.
Jonathan Thompson
>It's slower than everything except Mario Kart What is everything? It plays faster than TSR that's for sure.
Sebastian Thomas
No, it's my opinion that they're good designs. You're the dumb one for implying my opinion is facts based.
Josiah Diaz
CTR certainly isn't slower than most other racers, other than, as the other user pointed out, things like F-Zero. The drifting makes it insanely fast paced.
But yes it is a shame crash is in the hands of activision and vv. they just don't. Fucking. Get. The IP. It's tragic. Their delivery is serviceable but crash deserve some better than that. At least the game's actual content and game play are (presumably) going to be hq
Josiah Sanchez
>hurr take this meme word as my rebuttal!
Jacob Murphy
>activision and vv. they just don't. Fucking. Get. The IP. What don't they get about Crash?
Parker Sullivan
You literally said 'they're good designs' followed by 'it's your opinion that they're bad'. That def implied that they were objectively good designs and that it could only be in someone's opinion that they're bad.
Angel Edwards
>it plays faster than sumo games No. High tier sumo gameplay with maxed Boost stat is much faster.
Michael Phillips
I said "they're good designs" because he said >Look at the pic in and tell me that those are good character designs. I only did as he asked.
Juan Jones
>hurr 30fps is good because I say so!
Jacob Ortiz
They don't really get the original aesthetic or tone of the originals. Evident in the complete redesigns of many aspects of both games. I'm not saying that what they delivered is completely horrible but it definitely wasn't faithful
Ian Cook
What am i looking at?
Luis Bennett
Ah, please excuse my ignorant faggotry
Aaron Ward
>hurr I suck at video games that aren't in my super-narrow field of need
Julian White
Ah, I see, you're upset that there's more polygons and better textures in the remakes.
Ayden Adams
how can they justify adding all these fucking donut steel CNK characters and not a mere extra 3 (Tawna, Brio and Kong) to cover the entire roster of not only the original ND games, but the N Sane trilogy of which this is technically a sequel?
Elijah Nguyen
The full roster hasn't yet been announced, and Brio appears on banners in Cortex Castle so I'm pretty sure he'll end up playable.
Josiah Hughes
I agree with you user even if none of these other faggots will. The humour in the cutscenes is too "animated", characters can't sit still for a millisecond. Crash is dopey instead of just goofy. warped lacking any charm in the boss into animations. etc they improved Coco though
John Martin
They've got a month worth of social media marketing, the inevitable E3 surprise and a launch trailer before release. Why would they give everything away now?
Dylan Morgan
Brio is definitely in. Tawna and Kong is up for debate. Put it best, They aren't really as Donut steel as you'd think
Levi Campbell
The voice coupled with the severe ADHD that he obviously has
Evan Ortiz
No shit the cars move faster but the races are long as fuck. The tracks are ridiculously long for no reason.
Nope, as stated im upset that characters and enemies were literally redesigned when they already had set designs in the original, fag hag. The texture work is also way off in many areas what were once gritty, detailed floors or walls have become polished and sterile. Machinery generally looks way too clean and Unity like. The music... I'm all for having remixes but it is a bit strange that there's no option for having the ost. Also many animations are WAY fucking off and have less impact, stuff like Crash victory bouncing on bosses (looks indefensibly horrendous), jumping into warp portals in crash 3, etc etc. It seems all the small details that build up to something sub par
Cameron Jackson
>they improved Coco though I'll never agree with this. I don't like what they did with her in the remake.
Also one more that can't go unmentioned, the way bouncy metal boxes just shake when bounced on instead of recoiling. What in the ever living fuck were they thinking? Also anoter additional point. Some melodies are straight up changed in the remixes which is so baffling. Prime example being the Egypt levels
there's a lot of visual and sound effects that are "watered down" in NST for some reason. The Nitro detonating is the most irritating one for me. Used to love that satisfying BOOM when you hit the Nitro ! crate at the end of a level. NST it sounds more like ice cubes being poured into a glass, there's no impact.
Brandon Allen
He's one of the most requested characters.
Easton Reyes
care to explain why? she was a boring fuck in the originals, they kept her tech savvy but allowed her to be more goofy, like her older brother, and like a little girl would
Caleb Mitchell
I mean. Like I said I would prefer everything being faithful but yeah, she's fine imo. I don't even mind that they changed stuff, it's just they said it was a remake didn't they? Or they and many people did at least say that it would be consistent/faithful with the originals.
Leo Jones
I actually thought he'd been confirmed, but apparently not.
Josiah Ward
I don't like the overall look of her head and the makeup is a bit much. It's simple, really.
Henry Bailey
Will I see my bro Rilla Roo?
Landon Evans
He's absolutely in. My theory on why they aren't showing any footage of Dragon Mines is because they changed the komodo joe decals on the walls into komodo joe & komodo moe decals.
Dominic Murphy
I was actually talking about her personality as an improvement. I don't particularly mind the visual change but I can see where you're coming from.
Julian Bennett
He's basically just a stocky version of Joe, although I still think he should be included for completionism's sake and also so they can give him an actual character/voice.
Ian Allen
I can see where coco haters are coming from honestly. Why should these characters be acting so differently and goofy in n Sane and beyond? Why are cartoony games so prone to just making everything generically goofy? I don't think it's a good move most of the time, or kind of just hurts the ip and feels, like I said, generic. Compare that to a character like Mario, who may be described as goofy in some instances but certainly not in the same way as crash or a lot of other really watered down, Saturday morning cartoon esque characters and franchises
Josiah James
I hope they make the 3rd boss a double race against Komodo Moe & Joe, as was originally intended
I highly doubt as a racer but a reference somewhere would be nice
Alexander Cox
>characters and enemies were literally redesigned when they already had set designs in the original So having more polygons = redesigned.
Jaxon Wilson
Yes, I'm aware you were mentioning her character, it's just that my issue with her stems more from her new design. Personality-wise I don't have much to complain about.
Christian Johnson
I don't mind Coco specifically acting goofy as, like I said, she's a little girl, and the only sibling she has to look up to is Crash fucking Bandicoot, it makes sense for her. but not the rest of the cast
Brandon Edwards
I love armchair devs that can't analyze deliberate design decisions for what they are and lose their shit over conjecture.
Any more speed brakes the game. USF is barely over 140mph and it brakes nearly every corner in the game, and speed characters can fail basic corners with sacred fire. It doesn't NEED more speed from a design standpoint. Longer tracks would have to come first.
So you think Cortex or Koala Kong look different just because of polygons? Lmao DUMB. Or a smaller example, the pink birds from crash 2. These small redesigns are EVERYWHERE throughout all three games. Also the aesthetic is absolutely different. Like I said, overly sterile textures, washed out colours, very little contrast.
Owen Johnson
>Longer tracks would have to come first. I'm pretty sure everyone knows that. Just increasing the speed and leaving everything else untouched would make it a clusterfuck. The game never felt slow to me as a kid because the twists and turns are close enough that you don't spend too long just waiting in a straight line. At least in the later stages.
Gabriel Barnes
Yeah I know, I'm just making a case for why someone might dislike that change. I don't mind how they handled coco but I don't like crash all that much. Pulling gems out of his ass, being oddly cocky, making the dumbass grunts from crash of the Titans at times. In the originals he just always looked scared of everything and had a somewhat bewildered expression, which was super charming.
Carson Hughes
>In the originals he just always looked scared of everything Truth be told that was more Crash 1 than the others.
Joseph Lopez
>somewhat bewildered expression I miss the little animation of him scratching his head after watching a hologram in Crash 2 it's gone from NST but the weird thing is this render is pretty much it anyway
Yeah, your nostalgia and hatred for anything new is clearly blinding you.
Lucas Wright
I mean, not really. In normal game play he wouldn't do the concerned head tilting in crash 2 and 3, thought admittedly he would grin during most riding sections.
Cooper Parker
Yeah, your obsession with disregarding everything as mere 'nostalgia', including evidence, is showing. You have to actually be blind and deaf to think n Sane was faithful when, the game isn't quite literally different from a design standpoint.
Ian Phillips
*is
Jason Garcia
Because he's fat Like you
Lincoln Gutierrez
Just the face in general when running was pretty different from what I remember. Crash looked fairly terrified in 1 whereas in 2 he looked much more collected.
Nathaniel Russell
I recognize all the characters and creatures, they're still Arnold koalas and buzzsaw turtles. You're literally bitching about how they aren't 1:1 the Playstation 1 models, same as everyone who cries about how remakes on much more powerful consoles with modern technology don't look exactly like the original games with ten polygons and two textures for everything. Did you also throw a fit about all the dragons you save in Spyro 1 Reignited having their own individual models and voices compared to the five models and three voices for the original?
Kayden Russell
It's your fault then if you didn't play cnk, because all the characters had a storyline purpose
James Garcia
>I'm probably just being butthurt, but I played Crash 1-3, Twinsanity, CTR, and CTTR. You can just play CNK too, you know. It's not even a bad game like CTTR.
Michael Garcia
I will never forgive Reignited for completely missing the point of the design on the enemies in Dino Mines
Jack Cook
You realize that speed is relative to scale, right?
Just because the original designer made it doesn't make it good. Even the characters from the first Crash game went through multiple iterations and tweaks to maximize clarity at PS level of detail.
Ryder Anderson
>Just because the original designer made it doesn't make it good. It doesn't. In fact I don't even like all of them.
But Nash, and Velo, the Norms... They look really fucking cool and I honestly want to see Big Velo at some point.
After they gave the Gnorcs paint guns in Twilight Harbor? Hell no, that was also changed for the same reason. At the very least they should have been changed to lasers for the Gnorcs, not paint or goo.
He seems less bouncy than before. Needs more food.
Thomas Taylor
This guy is actually right though. N.Sane is good but it didn't capture the aesthetic. Im okay with playing the originals until I die.
Nathan Campbell
Guys from PS2 era games.
Joseph Sanchez
He didn't eat enough big breakfast.
Oliver Rivera
Are you a fucking idiot? They completely redesigned characters in the first game. What the fuck do you call it when they change the monster hand in slippery climb to old men? Why old men? Why does Cortex have human prisoners now? They fucked up.
Jose Cooper
Well that was a bad example. The dragons in reignited were designed by a fetishist. Its a fucking disgrace. Of course theyre awful.
Joshua Stewart
>Why does Cortex have human prisoners now? It's not that hard to imagine. Some of Cortex's fellow scientists could have grown a conscience and he locked them so they wouldn't rat him out to the authorities.
Chase Stewart
I was talking about the fact they gave them normal-length arms, which totally destroyed the humour (and point) of them hip-flipping the guns up into their waiting hands
Cooper Bennett
Funny how a fetishist can come up with more varieties of shapes and sizes and accessories and other differentiations than actual game designers can.
Lucas Sullivan
This design is fucked. They could have kept him more graceful looking like the original but they turned him into a mongoloid
Robert Lee
Just saw the concept art. What's the point now? That was the joke.
>honkey donkeys, my lonkeys, a fantasy cartoonish game has fantasy cartoonish characters in it, why can't we have the gritty realism of Dragonslayer and Reign of Fire, or have the characters look like they're from that Brazilian studio that rips off Pixar and DreamWorks films, don't you all realize that if something even barely resembles these two studios that I've been told by Yea Forums to despise and rage against I become extremely triggered and whiny?!
Colton Parker
Since when has that fat tub of lard ever been "graceful?
Colton Ross
The only thing about his design that is overtly 'off' is they removed his lips.
You're exaggerating for contrarian points.
Levi Brown
replaying the gba version of CNK youtube.com/watch?v=uUaBs5e-hg8 reminder that fake crash has the most obsurd unlock method in handheld history. it's "that kid" of party racers
Honestly i like those niche unlock methods in games, it adds replayability and that feeling of discovering a weird secret after you thought you have mastered the game is irreplaceable.
They needed more unlock methods like this honestly, how would you even know to do that
Charles Robinson
These fucking streams and videos piss me off so much. Every fucking event and showcase always has some a bunch of retards driving in straight lines at a fucking snail's pace and they STILL MANAGE TO CRASH AND FALL OFF THE MAP ALL THE TIME. I literally could not watch the stream footage for more than 2mins after seeing that Criken guy do absolutely nothing but drive normally every lap. Stop bringing on some faggot e-celebs who suck shit at every game and rely on being """"funny"""" to cover it up. Nova's gameplay was equivalent to that of a 2yr old. It's like he hasn't had to think in over a decade.
You're really preaching to the choir. I was the first to not like NST's designs and so far Papu's has grown on me. His design just wasn't something I held that dear. He was a fat mongoloid then and he is now.
I'm honestly glad he looks a bit cooler.
Isaac King
I want playable and highly customizable trophy girls, and obj_motherfuckers! Give me endless costumes and clothes for them. They can be the only 5 characters whose stats you can change too so the class balance autism can still be fulfilled.
Nicholas Flores
That was a weird reply, but okay. Enjoy your chubby bouncy sex dragons, ill have fun playing the real version.
David Reyes
Nobody would really care that much about his redesign since he wasn't utilized very often. He was my favorite racer in ctr though, and his wave dance just looks so off to me.
Seems to me like you're the one who finds them sexy, so why are you complaining? I look at them and simply see cartoon dragons. Do you have something to tell the class?
Hudson Young
When your career is to play children's games all day, it's not surprising to spend a decade with an empty head.
Also it is worth mentioning, that toys for bob fucked up more than just the dragons. Nobody asked them to take all these creative liberties. Either remake the game or make your own shitty dragon game.
Dominic Parker
I want to fuck that dragon.
Nicholas Adams
Thank you! Level design is okay, character design is 1/10. Fucking awful.
>Orange Bandicoot >Girl Bandicoot >Robot retard >Yellow Guy >Buff evil Crash >oogabooga Australian >Wizard lizard >Fucking knockoff Crash >Generic Polar Bear >Generic Tiger >Clock guy etc Based off your shitty reasons and descriptions the CNK crew seem to fit right in

Logan Thomas
Can anyone explain to me why a dragon with a gut who informs you to keep the dragonfly fed so you stay alive is a horrible evil disgusting vile mind-raping thing?
Angel Wright
>Bought one just to play CTR at 60fps. should we tell him?
Most of the level characters from 2-3 are so fucking different its incomprehensible how they landed on it. Giving Sheila hair is low on the list of fuck ups. pic related
Beenox is showing how to do a proper remake with CTR. Quantifiable improvements over the base game beyond higher resolution graphics. It’s clear they really love the Crash franchise, while TfB seemed indifferent at best.
Noah Sanchez
No they do not, they were not in the games I like therefore they have absolutely no place and do not fit in any way whatsoever to the visual style, the character design, or anything else.
Levi Ward
Looks fine to me. How were they supposed to make them look? Can you draw an HD version of how you specifically want them to be like?
Robert Wilson
You're a fucking retard who doesn't like anything new. Just admit it.
You can't stand to have nice things.
Jordan Brooks
You keep talking about polygons. You can add polygons to original designs and not fuck them up. polygons are cool. just know how to use them.
Hunter Allen
What
Lucas Wilson
Its bad design and nothing like the original? It makes you wonder why that person designed it that way.
Joseph Howard
I am an artist and I could do a finely detailed version of the original design. Am I going too? no. What made games like spyro and crash so good was the unique art style. It makes no sense to deviate from that so much in a remake. Even the colors are fucked.
Andrew Hill
>nothing like the original The original was five generic designs repeated nonstop throughout the game. If they did that in Re-ignighted you're be crying about how lazy they are.
Juan Lee
Nitro Kart was the best post-Naughty Dog era game and the original creators worked on it too
Ryan Brooks
Ah, you're one of those faggots who's spent more than a year screaming about how much your lives and childhoods have been destroyed because the colors aren't 1:1 the originals, the graphics aren't 1:1 the originals, the textures aren't blurry and smeared, the models don't have big visible gaps between body parts and polygons.
Caleb Martinez
>I am an artist and I could do a finely detailed version of the original design. Am I going too? no.
They had similar characters sure, but your are incorrect to say that all only use 5 different models. Very poor excuse to defend Tfb... here is another picture of terrible design that isn't true to the original.
If that's what youre taking away from this you were never capable of critiquing a game in the first place. I never wanted a remake and I never bought the remake. My childhood isn't ruined because I still have the version I prefer. I am just pointing out the obvious.
I don't paint digitally, so I won't be spending my time doing that, sorry.
This is EXACTLY what i'm talking about. You whiny faggots don't want anything to have details because your brains are unable to handle them. Any more than a certain amount of polygons breaks you. Everything has to be absolutely as identical to the original blob as possible. Just play the originals and ignore the remakes if anything more than a PS1-era model triggers you so hard.
Taking a picture of a quick doodle shouldn't take long, Mr. Artist.
Julian Brown
please explain why so many people ant to main N. Trance. Why do they even like him?
Jaxson Gonzalez
>innocent looking thumbnail >file deleted N-nani
Carson Lee
You never critiqued anything, all you do was cry about the very fact anything was changed at all, and then started concocting wild stories about how the original devs had these grandiose visions and they manipulated the PS1 to create miracles of sight and sound that surpassed everything anyone else had ever made on a game console.
Idk. There is something appealing about this new redesigned egg that checks all the right boxes for me. I also really like Big Norm and Geary so who knows what’s wrong with me.
Dominic Ross
If I do a quick doodle youre not gonna get what you fucking expect dumbass. I said a finely detailed render. What point would it serve for me to doodle a fucking tiki character for you?
Logan White
Because his concept is so dumb that it makes the little bastard endearing to me.
Ethan Rivera
Just because you didn't play CNK back in the day doesn't mean it's bad, or that people don't care about it.
Jackson Bell
Well, some fanart about the tiki boys would be nice. They're cute.
Ethan Price
Well, I critiqued the fact that they didn't own up to original design. I think the original designs are easy enough to interpret and unique enough to preserve. You are just very angry that I don't like the new game and I have actual opinions to back it up that aren't about "soul". If you like the game, thats cool. It just isn't good though.
Carter Russell
agreed
Carter Mitchell
They're the original designs in HD. You're upset because they're "too detailed". you sound liek the Pokemon faggots who cry about everything after Gen 1 having too many lines and colors.
Isaac Turner
Design-wise he is extremely alien and sets him apart from the usual band of scientists and mutants. Simplicity also leaves a lot of room for interpretation: Compare his Twinsanity and Nitro Kart designs.
Coupled with a versatile gimmick like mind control and the fact he's one of few recurring antagonists unaffiliated with Cortex and that has a lot of creative potential.
Is this game still a remake, or it has become... more
David Richardson
dingodile all the way and maybe nina
Jordan Robinson
If you didn't play both CTR and CNK, you're a pleb and don't belong here.

Thats false. They are new designs based loosely off the originals, if you can't understand that then you must be a pretty special boy and I envy your ignorance.
Grayson Jones
It’s beyond remake at this point. Imo
Joseph Sullivan
Its pretty much become a remake of 2 games at this point, if they end up adding stuff like characters or tracks that weren't in either CTR or Nitro Kart then I'd really consider it something more than a remake.
Hudson Reed
Way more.
This is what 'remake' should mean. This game is one of the only ones I've seen that really understands what it means to remake something for the modern age. The original CTR still exists, and in order to be a remake OF it, they have to make sure it nails everything about the game, and it really does. CTR is still there underneath.
But there's MORE beyond that if you want it. A lot more. In fact, a shitload more. It's a completely new game.
I love him so much. He has no self-awareness. He's a complete edgelord who looks down on the competition even though he's a complete shitter even as a boss in Crash 2.
>got a weeks leave from work now >eating left over pizza >got some dark matter rum and ginger beer >doing crash 1 time trails
Yup, it's the weekend. I'm trying to resist buying TSR, I have the karting itch but honestly it looks so bare of content and effort. And I fucking loved Transformed
Games like Monster Hunter World, Nioh or Fire Emblem Warriors give you the choice between looking pretty or running smoothly. Not much reason to not have this be standard with the hardware we have today.
Colton Gray
Lads, I want to replay CTR since I never played it too much beyond beating story. What are some recommended emulator plug-ins for the best experience?
Xavier Price
I'm disappointed in the frame rate, but I'm still buying day one just cause the mechanics look that faithful
Nathan Allen
A PS1 and a Dualshock 1

>CNK bosses + Oxide + Zam/Zem are protected by Uka I do hope Beenox realizes that adds a disproportionately large number of characters to the "evil" side of things. Question is, how do they plan on balancing it?
Not that user, but the game isn't 30fps because it's too taxing on the hardware. That makes no sense in a non-open world racing game with rather small tracks and graphics that doesn't aim to be photo realistic. Also that could give an unfair advantage when playing competitive online. The 30fps thing is a design choice and not a hardware limitation. Could also be that the devs aren't skilled enough to make the game they want and keep a constant 60fps. But even if they sacrificed graphics for fps there wouldn't be that much to sacrifice. Don't get me wrong, it looks pretty but it's not a technical masterpiece.
How would they add new minigames? What kinds would they make?
Jackson Nelson
Crash needs a new game.
Julian Rogers
I don't know if I trust Vicarious Visions enough to make an entirely new game and not a rehash.
Chase Rivera
If they make more levels like Future Tense and the N.Brio room in Stormy Ascent that basically had to be done from scratch, I can trust them with a new game.
Brandon Morris
Excited as fuck to see what they've done with the intro/Adventure Mode character select screens.
Eli James
Future Tense was all I needed to know they were ready. Fucking ace that level was
>branching Metroid-style paths >hidden extra areas that are off-camera >changing Crash's direction often >very challenging platforming
Crash as a series just has way more villains than good guys. Honestly I like that, you can get more creative with bad guy designs.
Evan Jackson
you ever think that might be because they didn't have the capability of animating the facial expressions, especially not on the racer model? or are you being intentionally petty
Sebastian Wright
especially after the pinstripe boss fight went unchanged
Mason Robinson
I don't mind HD but why give them eyes instead of keeping them weird stone golems
Isaac Hernandez
you say that but the eyes are just wrong. spyro 2 was capable of giving characters big expressive eyes, and yet they chose not to do that with the foreman
Logan Cook
not that we've seen. even most of the new items in CNK were just different versions of the ones from ctr
Ethan Hughes
What if they add items from CTTR?
Robert Ward
I never played it so I don't know, but wasn't that game more battle oriented? what kind of items did it have
Austin Carter
Please no. I'm playing CTTR right now, and the items in that game are fucking atrocious.
Grayson Garcia
>Papu is chieftain of the indigenous tribe to N. Sanity Island >instead of Aku-Aku, the resident witch doctor, he gets his evil twin
i mean aku aku was once human, maybe they didn't get along? maybe aku died a long time ago? maybe papu ran him out of town? At the very least, it doesn't make sense that he's protected by uka uka, because it doesn't really seem like he was a cortex minion
Charles Sanchez
Fuck's sake they could easily throw more under Aku Aku, even if they aren't technically good.
>Papu Papu >N. Brio >Fake Crash >All the CNK bosses besides Velo (because they were kidnapped from their planets and forced to race as well)
Joshua Ortiz
It's slightly disappointing that there seem to be a lot of recolors instead of actually different skins, but fuck it, it already has a lot of stuff CTR didn't have to begin with.
Camden Martinez
That's why I liked CNK for having a "Velo" mask for the bosses and Oxide's crew. I think N.Trance's team was also protected by it.
Logan King
Up until literally yesterday I saw N. Trance as an abomination of character design, a mishmash of incongruous nonsense with no consistent theme, but his new look is a great combination of creepy and weird while still being distinctive and pleasing to the eye. It's amazing what a few subtle changes can do.
I think beginner cars are gonna be the best in this version because they're gonna have a much easier time mainting the USF
Hunter Flores
>Crunch in the same game as Ripper Roo and Pinstripe
Shit is just surreal.
Easton Torres
the game visually is super incredible but some of the track design is leaning on the simple side for me. id like a few more obstacles i guess.
Jordan Taylor
It would be cool if the Velo mask could become a mechanical device of some kind instead of a spiritual tribal mask. Same effects as a mask, but make it to where the aliens use their own technology instead.
I'm very curious how the new USF is going to transform the "meta". I believe Beenox has even given the beginner class a boost to their speed along with the all-rounders, so I don't think they will be as written off as before. The Beenox dev yesterday even claimed that all classes for the most part are very similar now for balance sake.
Andrew Fisher
CTTR actually has two sets of items depending on if you are gunning or driving. The gunner items are extremely broken and include things like dropping grand pianos, cows, or submarines. The hitboxes on these are almost as wide as the tracks themselves. There's also a torpedo too that essentially serves the same function as a missile in CTR. Driver items aren't as powerful, but don't really do anything interesting except explode on impact. Monkeys with dynamite, and chickens that can be thrown forward or back. There's also a fireball that screams and explodes on first place. Essentially a worse warp orb. This kind of dumb slapstick is something CTR can do without.
Cameron Hernandez
Imagine if they added mask customization somewhere along the line >Aku Aku >Uka Uka >Papu Papu >Velo >The Elementals
>Can modify particle effects, colors, jingle, etc.
it kinda didn't make sense for trance's team to be protexted by velo, especially because that means that half the playable roster was velo protected. however, i don't think there's a reasonable alternative
I love that they managed to shove CNK characters in all categories, because they'd otherwise all just be advanced characters if they based it on size like in the past
Austin Martin
Ultimate fan service.
Landon Mitchell
>i don't think there's a reasonable alternative Uka Uka. N. Trance worked on his behalf in his debut game.
John Cook
This feels so wrong, and yet I can't look away.
Austin Sullivan
Agreed. Except I want Krunk and Lil' Norm to switch.
Mason Gomez
fucking normies REEEEE
Lucas Thompson
that one is strange, lil norm is a small boy. even real velo is in beginner.
Brandon Torres
Ah. I didn't play that game, but I downloaded it the other day. Worth playing?
All I'm saying is that it's not faithful you absolute retard. You people always have to turn things into 'stop whining you nostalgiafag'. It's unfaithful and I would have preferred it to be faithful, I said that really so fucking hard to deal with? You act like that's a wrong opinion lmao. You are fully entitled to like the new version Jesu said Christ. Regardless of whether you can still recognise these characters, it is not the same and it doesn't not embody the same feel or tone. That is my point.
Christopher Russell

Benjamin Russell
Velo called Norm a "demon on the racetrack", I assume that isn't exclusive to Big Norm.
As for Crunk, well, he's the first boss and an obvious Roo stand-in so his stats make sense coming from a backwater tribal planet and all...
Thomas Rogers
>crash nitro kart cast the boss from CNK is also in it?
Jaxson Baker
>saving the image in Little Norm resolution >not Big Norm size
i'm actually surprised they included shit from CNK since the game did a lot less in term of sales and isn't very popular in the community. If only they could add the story mode back.
Julian White
>i'm actually surprised they included shit from CNK Vicarious Visions are huge Crashfags going as far back as the early 2000's. They probably handed Beenox everything from CNK when the project was greenlit.
Austin Ross
Give Aliens the Velo mask. Or make some of the CNK bosses good. Big Norm seemed more nice
Nathaniel Price
It's honestly my favorite of the post-Naughty Dog games. Vehicle segments are probably worse than I remember, though.
Easton Price
This is the only reason I forgive them for putting the CNK characters in; they still have the Naughty Dog DNA in them
Jackson Allen
i mean the bigger idea behind roo was that he was a small animal like polar and pura, not that he was the first boss. but that explanation makes sense.
As a huge crash bandicoot fan, I'm so impressed by the love being put in this game!
Blake Russell
The original had a disproportionate number of evil racers too. Crash as a series just has more villains than heroes and that's fine desu since villains are usually more fun
Landon Perry
Zem and Zam are going to be the least popular characters online, aren't they?
why the fuck do they take everything cool about the old expressions and turn them into cutey emoji shit i miss the crash that still had that dopey but badass look to his face and they havent been able to recapture that since ps1 maybe i just cant get with the times of hairy gradient fur crash because of my nostalgia for the jaggies but its infected the voice acting for me too now and im struggling to find a main because i hate the way so many of their voices turned out
I don't have a problem with a lot of the voices, but N. Gin seems kind of offputting to me. I don't know if it's the vocal effect or the actor's inflection but I kind of miss when he sounded more angry and less creepy.
Luis Cook
It's sad the fan artists do a much better job than a professional studio
Crash was always a dopey goofball but it seems like they have focused more on bringing that side out of him than the serious "Bart Simpson" attitude he partially had to me as a kid. Old Crash was definitely cooler. Its probably just marketing to normies that remember him differently combined with the kiddy punk 90s/early 2000s attitude not aging well. Also not trying to say this was the entirety of what crash acted like but I don't think you can deny that any of the characters seem as serious as they used to be.
You can tell it was done to make him 'cuter' but I don't see the logic behind it. This is far more easily accomplished just making sure his mouth shrinks down like it should when he's not smiling.
And stop shrinking his eyes for no reason, what the fuck
