i started playing adventure mode again on psp, guess i'll just put that on hold and wait for this.
That framerate during the split screen section of the trailer looked super rough - guessing that's why it was shown for all of a second.
Game looks awesome though.

No Spyro seems kind of odd, since his inclusion has been teased so heavily, but who knows, maybe they'll announce him at a later date.
Well, one thing I am excited to finally experience is a story mode in a Karting game. Really looking forward to that in CTR!
The official PR is "It's the authentic CTR experience plus a whole lot more" so I think at this point it's worth more effort to try and figure out what new stuff we're getting, not worrying that old stuff's gonna go missing ;)
When did Mario Kart go 30fps, 3DS with 3D on?!
Edit: during split screen, lol.
But yea, a kart game at 30fps is a no no, but then again so are platformers yet here we are after Crash and Spyro remakes.
I have never agreed more with a person in my life. MK8 belongs in a dumpster fire. Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed and Crash Team Racing are the best Kart racers I have ever played personally.
I have major baggage with mario kart. I'm seeing a therapist about it. Thanks for putting up with my venom.
I meant nore in terms of visual customizatiob
Changing the colour od the kart, adding stickers or ornaments etc.
That's exciting!
Although I wonder if it's really worth remaking tracks from CNK or CTTR. They were generally unremarkable and would prefer the devteam dig deep and make their own original tracks based on classic Crash motifs.
So if this can run on Switch in four player split-screen, I shouldn't have any reason to worry about not getting 60fps in single player on my PS4 Pro right? Oh who am I kidding, they're going to fuck this up and make it 30fps on everything aren't they?
Anyway... I've never played the original; is this game as casual-friendly as Mario Kart 8?
Also, online really needs to work like Mario Kart, with track voting and match-making. None of this "only the host gets to choose" crap that the Sonic racing game did.

The video was 30fps. Why post a 30fps video if the game could run at 60fps?
I have zero nostalgia for this game, and after playing the Crash remaster last year, I can definitely say that Crash is just not for me...
I really hope they directly confirm a PC version soon. I sort of understand Spyro skipping PC considering most 3D platformers bomb hard on Steam, but not this. I am sure it would be a big hit.
Going to be interesting to see how it feels and controls. Obviously triggers are a must but I seriously cannot picture playing this game with throttling my drift boosts without L1 and R1.
Give it a shot.

I think the Crash trilogy is pretty mediocre and would trash them any day of the week but openly consider Crash Team Racing one of my all-time favorite games.
Give it a shot.
"As casual friendly as Mario Kart 8"?
Definitely not.
Sure, it's easy to get the hang of by virtue of being a kart racing game but CTR has a lot of depth mechanics wise and the items tended to be a bit more technical (as in, dependent on how and when the player used them) as opposed to the "all migtly, please help me" item system from Mario Kart.
In that aspect it shat all over Mario Kart 64 and of course Kart 8.
Said that, the original game still had that silly side with accesible controls and track layouts that novice players will enjoy a lot.
I'm pretty sure they studied the Trilogy as they Remastered them and the next one from them will be good and decent :-)
Thanks for the explanation. I was basically wondering if this would be a good game to play online with my mum. A few of us have been playing Mario Kart Wii and Mario Kart 8 once a week for years, and those games were fun because my mum at least had a chance of sometimes beating us in a race.
More recently, we all picked up Wipeout Omega Collection, and although she enjoys playing it, she finds it a lot more difficult and ends up finishing last in most online races.
How about single player difficulty? Do they have something that's harder than 200cc in MK8? 200cc is quite challenging, but I have mastered that, so I'm hoping for more challenge in this game.
If your mom finds Mario Kart Wii (of all MK games) fun then she will completely love CTR. Trust me. imho, It's a balanced game with the right amount of chaos. Items are not grossly powerful but can help you a lot when you need them the most.
Hmm.. not sure if CTR has something that could rival MK8's 200cc mode but in single player I'd say time trials and some of the bosses in the game are quite challenging so you should have some fun with that.
Still no PC release (date)... jeez... better be 60FPS on PS4 or I'll wait like I've done with Spyro (which don't even go to stable 30...).
There is a hell of a lot of people that care when other companies do it. I accept it, but let's not pretend like entire hate mobs attack other companies that do it.
I'll buy this day one if it's 60fps on one x.
Crash Team Racing is my favourite game of all time and seeing this makes me so happy. Seeing those start lights pop up for the first time almost brought a tear to my eye, not even kidding. I would've preferred the classic music in the trailer but still, WE BACK!
Can't wait. It's up for pre-order on Xbox, £34.99 for the standard version and a "Nitros Oxide Edition" for £54.99 which includes "Purchase the Crash™ Team Racing Nitro-Fueled - Nitros Oxide Edition and get the Nitros Oxide playable character, Oxide's Hovercraft, Space-themed Crash, Coco, and Cortex characters skins, and more. "
I certainly hope that "and more" is substantial, as 20 quid sounds a lot for one character and a couple of skins. When I saw the price I assumed it would have a characters and tracks season pass included, but it doesn't seem so.

It'll probably be 30 FPS for split screen. I'm optimistic it'll be 60 all around for every console.
The trailer played at 30fps and if it were 60fps they would've reassured people by now and yelled it from rooftops on their social media account.
Fuck yeah.
No excuses for not hitting 60fps with this, make it happen.
Who am I kidding I'm buying it regardless
