Did Beenox and Activision do Crash Team Racing justice? Or did they break your trust with the inclusion of cosmetic microtransactions and some broken online issues?

Im enjoying CTR.

Beenox most certainly did it justice.
Activision only wanted to milk the nostalgia since the beginning.

I never had faith in Activision, I saw this shit coming a mile away.

I'm not the original guy. Just reposting since it got me so goos

You got Beenox’d.

/thread/

Single Player content is pretty decent and better than the original since we have way more tracks.

Online still kinda sucks because you can get ahead of everyone and the items can't do shit to you. i won 6 in a row by simply being a ble to avoid being hit. some shorcuts are also kinda shitty.

When will we get good new tracks?

The fucking Reverse Speeding challenge isn't registering.

Check to see if it counted, even if you didn't get the notification. That's what happened to me

I checked and did it 3 times it's simply not registering.

It doesn't work if you hit boost pads or get hit by items

Honestly as much as I hate the clocks, I don't think the orbs of that bad. I just think they should be easier to outrun. That way if you can keep your speed up through skill you can keep them chasing you the entire race without getting hit

I never thought the orbs were that bad until this morning. Almost every race I was in bad a lap where 3 or more orbs were going off at once.

*had a lap

they're all hot so who cares

Frankly I think players who use an orb and come in 5th-8th should get a snarky message at the end of each race.

Haven't done either of those.

Did you go off track or stop at any point? Started reversing when you've already started the last lap?

TBF though, its not like you can discard items without using them so you can pick up a new one

You already can outrun them on any track with USF

How long until they add a Bullet Bill-like item that autopilots for you with boosted speed?

I did everything correctly exactly as I had done it last time

>Yeah, with USF.

You should be able to at regular sacred flame speed I think

Idk about that, Blue Orbs have caught up to me with USF on a Speed class.

Well you can out run them long enough, half a lap at the very least if not two or more

Uhhh no?

This, nothing more to say really. A good developer wasted under a terrible publisher.

Yeah.

CTR desperately needs more tracks like Papu's Pyramid or Cortex Castle (sans the blue fire).

Do you get more Nitro if you do stuff on Hard?

no

Was thinking about getting it but now Im just happy to see Actision getting shat on for fucking up the game like this.

FUCK IM GONNA MISS HIM

Beenox made a genuinely good game and deserve every penny. Activision can get bent but there's no reason to screw over Beenox.

How much money do you think Beenox is going to see from those W-coin sales?

Probably none. Precisely why I'm not fucking getting any.

I dont want to spend money on a game like this, theres allready too many people who bought and happily spend money on the coins as well.

A new medium sized track with like 15 shortcuts would be amazing. No blue fire, instead everyone is trying to figure out new ways to get ahead of the enemy. Some of those shortcuts could require parkour and some could require items.

They did but online is really scraping the bottom of the barrel at points, and the kart customization is both a blessing and a curse because you can't save setups like you'd think.

It all boils down to load times, lack of Cup races, and poor management of Battle mode which is 2x longer than most races but rewards nowhere near the coins it should.

CTR has always been the strongest game out of the Naughty Dog games however. It was their magnum opus, nothing else they've made has ever come close.

Pegging is something trap supporters try to convince, isn't gay. Much like their denial.

Is that the online battle limit one? Probably doing it with a friend would be the easiest. Otherwise get lucky with random people.

In all honesty I'm not even going to bother with ones that require friends this time unless anyone asks for my help, I already have the champ kart with the new decal unlocked due to developer incompetence and staying top 5% by doing the dailies should be enough. All it'll do is make unlocking the gold tier stuff quicker but there's nothing great there anyway.

Lets make babies Ami!

They were all fucked from the start by not just being better-looking versions of the same games. Not even phased by Activision being Activison.

I dunno i prefer 1-3 alot more than CTR

I have to disagree.

Not that user, but for me I feel mostly the same

It's the only one that truly beats out its competitor in terms of raw gameplay. The simple act of driving, jumping, boosting, etc. feels infinitely more enjoyable than Mario Kart.

Crash 1-3 have quite good gameplay as well, but I don't think Crash has a platformer with gameplay regarded as highly as something like SM64 where people constantly learn new ways to traverse 20 years later. Crash 2 is close but it doesn't have the same accolade.

Crash is more faithful to 2D platformers.

How do people learn new ways to traverse a level 20 years later?

Bing bing wahoo autists.

The first GP eventually bored the fuck out of me and I have no interest in the babies. I might play again when Evil Coco comes out (if she does) but that's only if the coin payout hasn't gone to absolute shit without spending real money.

CTR is my favorite racing game, bar none, but the remake doesn't even begin to pique my interest. Feels like something I should be excited about but it didn't click, and the more I see about the loads of character skins and the dumb unlock shop and the gobs of weird customization options, the more it feels less like my favorite kart racer and more like a game I've never seen before.

It's a good remake, everything extraneous is just layered on top of the well-replicated original. Also the Switch version is perfectly fine, but you might as well wait for the inevitable PC port if you're not currently interested.

I had fun with it for the first month or so, why would I still be playing it? online is already down to spergs who try way too hard, I don't care and neither does anyone else I know. Any fucking idiot still playing it is probably dumb enough to buy coins so, there you go.

Well, if you haven't gotten the plat relic yet, you have a freebie. The key to this is to get the boost after the mask resets you.

Don't forget to rage quit when you fuck it up online

cool. I was waiting to get it cause I heard it was horrible. If they fixed it I might pick it up then.

Yes, something something tricking the game into thinking you're on a different chunk of the stage, like in some Mario Kart Wii tracks. If I had to guess, they accidentally extended the area that makes the game you're on the last stretch before the finish line to that point you jump off into, so the mask placing you back in bounds when you jump off at the intersection doesn't trigger.

Yeah
I'll probably just avoid N. Gin Labs if it comes up in a lobby. I hate this shit.

Yeah, USF tracks online are fucking cancer because if you lose USF your chance of winning becomes 0, and you have no control over what items everyone will get so the RNG element of online becomes even more polarising. On USF tracks you win by a landslide or lose humiliatingly, there’s no middle ground and it’s just not fun either way.

Are the microtransactions actually in yet? I can't find them.

I think the game is amazing even if I'm not a fan of the online. and I personally dont care about the microtransactions, they are optional and purely for cosmetic pieces. And frankly I'm happy to give a couple bucks if it means I don't have to torture myself with the shitty online just to get a couple coins. Plus the money goes to support the game and potential future of the franchise

I don't care about money
I care about winning

to be honest i dont know why people complain about that plat relic on this one,i found it genuinelly fun,it doesnt have much bullshit,its just hard,air fuckway on the other hand was just no fun

The map has a terrible coin rate pay out for how long it is anyway, especially in online multiplayer. If the map takes longer than 3 minutes to complete (which it usually does, especially with how abundant clocks are warp orbs are at the moment) then you're better off saving your wumpa time for other maps.

This texture and a lot of references to yet-to-be-seen skins still exist in the game. As well as character and kart references that aren't fully fleshed out yet.
People who claim that the datamines are fake are all sorts of retarded when they could just check for themselves.

Why tho? The characters wouldn't cost any time or money being put in the game

I'm pretty mad at how long the load screens are. This is absolutely unacceptable in the current year. I spend more time waiting for a race to start than I actually spend racing. Fucking ridiculous.

However I love the remake and am over 9/10 happy with it. I never expected online to be perfect given latency and how fast paced races can be.

Gnasty over Ripto? I'm surprised, considering Ripto was already in a Crash game and is generally regarded as Spyro's archnemesis.

All to do with VA's.

Half of the VA cast who did Crash characters, do the Spyro characters which got in.

After testing I can confirm there is something seriously wrong with the balanced class. I did a race with my bro on Electron Avenue with each class while he played as Tiny for every race the results were:
>Speed vs Speed is quite close
>Accel destroyed Speed
>Handling won comfortably against Speed
>Balanced was crushed by Speed
For some reason handling not only feels faster but IS faster. Another issue I've noticed is the boosts run out way too fast with Balanced and barely give any momentum. I don't know what Beenox have done but the balance in general is so fucked it's laughable.

did you faggots actually use USF or boosts at all?

>Still complaining about loading screens
It's really not that bad at all. There is plenty of other stuff to complain about, but you picked the least pressing issue.

Pussy, what are you hiding?

Did you even read my post? I detailed the effects of boost with balanced you idiot.

If you cut out of the first bit of maps trying to optimize your half hour enough times, aren't you eventually going to just cancel out your work with the wasted start time?

retard, he's probably played CTR for thousands of hours

Me

Kind of meaningless with knowing what your times were for each race.

without knowing*

Why is it meaningless? with Acel I was able to obliterate Tiny, with balanced I couldn't even get close. I don't need a time to tell me something is seriously wrong.

Oh wow, Gnasty has had the same VA in the original, A Hero's Tail, and Reignited.

It would be interesting to know what kind of times you were getting to compare. Balanced is probably about 10-12 seconds slower than Speed overall on Electron Avenue.

It's the only pressing issue for me personally. I seriously don't understand how a fucking PS4 Pro needs a full fucking minute to load a track. What the hell did I install on the hard drive? This shit was acceptable on the PS2 because of technology limitations but now there's no fucking excuse. Just lazy development on the part of Beenox because they wanted to make more skins instead of optimize their game for the platform it will be played on.

Fair point. I was more shocked about how poorly balanced performed to think of it.

Did you guys finish the story mode before going online?

adventure mode loading is the worst thing

I got the PS4 platinum trophy before going online.

No since I mastered drifting and knew to continue boosting after touching a turbo pad
Everything else I learned as I played and asking you fucks about certain techniques

I didn't bother with online until half way through the last cup. I had no interest but with Beenox fucking me over with offline coin rewards it was either play online or unlock one costume every 20 days. So until that's fixed Beenox are forever a shit tier dev and I'm not buying anything else made by them.

>Win an online Battle without getting hit
Does beenox really think people would play Battle?

jesus christ how horrifying

Game dose great and get lots of praise, Activison takes notice of this and want to stick their thumb in the pie.

I'm alright. I've come first more than a few times, destroyed a lot of tropys but if I'm being honest my average is 3rd-4th more often than not. I just don't like online in general. Interacting with a bunch of assholes and having to pay extra to do so is not my idea of fun.

It was fun, now it's a clusterfuck mess more than half the time and it already had problems to begin with.

How the fuck did they think this was a feasible challenge at all. Homing missiles alone make it borderline impossible, and because the only people playing battle are going for that challenge nobody win and nobody's happy.

>interacting

Did they really think anyone would actually be able to complete that?

Yes. Even if you're not talking with them you're still participating with them, still dealing with them. I don't need you to get it user nor do I need to explain myself further. I don't like playing online, simple as.

It's probably doable if you have a friend you can play online with 1v1. But I wouldn't know.

>Having to pay extra
This I can understand.
I wonder, can you pull this off with a friend online?

Doesn’t matter what they did because they already took your money.
Can’t wait to pirate the pc version and unlock everything with a trainer.

Maybe they were thinking a challenge exclusive to online battles would help keep the lobbies alive. It's one of the things I complained about in the feedback. Now if only they could make the coin payout for battles not worthless compared to racing.

I'm gonna try this, it sounds hilarious and I get pretty much the same shitty coins anyway. Fuck the Nitro Kart tracks I hate those long fuckers anyway.

I agree with adding online battle challenges but this particular challenge was a horrible idea. I'd prefer shit like "hit 10 enemies with manual bomb detonations in online battles" or "have more crystals than anyone else at the end of an online battle".

Where's baby Cortex?

You can donate plasma and get $20 for an hour of your time. Sometimes 40 for your first time. That's one hour sacrifice to unlock skins at a much faster rate instead of grinding for hours offline for the same result. I would tell you to get a job, but I feel it would be a waste if my time.

This is some kind of clown gang meme thing isn't it

Likely scrapped, along with Baby N. Tropy sadly

I wish they scrapped all of the babies.

Is it true N Tropy is available in the pit stop from now on? I can never defeat him in Oxide Station

Stone Age Tropy is, you still have to unlock him by normal means

>throwing away your money for skins
I'd sooner refund the game than sink that low.

Why the fuck is prehistoric playground not showing up? Ever since I bought baby crash yesterday, it hasn't shown up once. I've played twilight tour more times this grand prize, what the fuck. I thought it was going to be a repeat of last GP, but not literally

Too bad it's not like Mario Kart 8s DLC which was basically a fat ass expansion pack for dirt cheap

DLC would be more preferable at this point instead of grinding and microtransactions. Buy the DLC, have everything, so I can just focus on racing. But no, 10k coins for a car.

Here's a thought, albeit a radical one: try playing the game

Where do you think you are?

Stfu faggot speed is king and if you disagree you're retarded

The only one to blame for microtransactions is Activision Blizzard and the people that validate it like a good amount of games media who insist that “options” to not play the game is good.

The game otherwise is very well made and does more than a little justice.

Someone is a bit triggered. All I was doing is posting my results after a shocking race using balanced. I like speed, Dingodile and Tropy are my go-to racers in that category but you're just being a faggot about it.

Agreed. Much more liberating, and thematically it makes sense that karts like crikey and characters like Tropy get boosts too.
I'm almost positive you still got 15 from Motorsport crunch like the trophy girls

I managed to beat prehistoric park last night with baby crash and it felt like a huge achievement, 5 of my lobby was also baby crash to attempt it although they were all schooled by the speed chads bar me.

I hope the next map doesn't reward braindead speedlets like this one does.

Yeah you got the +15% from crunch skin but missed the base +10% of trophy girls

I just disconnected so I did that against bots

If you can't win consistently against accel and handling as speed don't try teaching anyone anything about the game

Based and Vigilante-pilled

What are you even talking about? my post said nothing even remotely like that you damn fool. I said I was racing against my bro who was using Tiny, playing as all classes to test just how horribly balanced the balanced class is the entire argument of my post was pointing out just how fucked that one class is. You are clearly triggered and care WAY too much about the speed class.

>If the map takes longer than 3 minutes to complete (which it usually does, especially with how abundant clocks are warp orbs are at the moment) then you're better off saving your wumpa time for other maps.
Unless it's been a race with 10 clocks in it, if you can't complete every track except Electron and Oxide in 3 minutes then you're not particularly good anyway. A podium finish gives you good coins regardless of the level.

Dunno about obsidian. It's a weird paint overall.

Depends on the situation, if we're about a minute into the game then I won't leave, but if everyone got wiped out by a clock just after the USF pad then the first lap for whoever is coming first just went from ~47 seconds to ~1:05, and that's assuming no fuckery with items (haha so unlikely). If I see someone pulling ahead with USF and is going to do well then sure, I'll stay. But nah, better to leave at 20 seconds and save yourself a shitty 3 minute match.

Do you own all the other karts? I would assume that bundle will rotate every 3/4 days but I already bought it so I'm not sure.

I'd love it, but the "suck it" has been forever retconned.

Thanks beenox.

Okay, this sucks. They better fix it ASAP.

Peoples on the leader board already at 48 000+ nitro.

How? You can't get that amount just by idling.

>Do you own all the other karts?
no :(
been trying to get the characters first. Problem is, if you're not playing on the weekend, your coin payout is pathetic

Oh shit. Did they nerf nitro grind again? Crystal lab isn't giving me anything now.

I was trying to do some of those battle nitro challenges and they stopped giving coins after the first replay. Nitro seemed to only pay out every second level.

Got to get ready for those Nitro pack microtransactions ;)

Welp, guess that's that.
I'm not doing their shitty chore challenges again.
