Ohhh, I see. Fair point, but with only a few days to go it's going to be impossible to discern between pirated copies and pre-release copies obtained legally.
The OST is on Youtube. Gonna spoiler this impression because it might be something folks would wanna hear for themselves.
I super super love that the bosses have a slight variation of the boss theme now
Here a couple of menu screenshots from the cups in arcade mode. Looks like they kept Drift Colosseum as the final track of the fourth cup instead of putting Oxide Station there. Hopefully Beenox will update the Arcade mode once the first 2 dlc tracks are out so Boost Track and Oxide Station can finally be part of a cup.

Edit: I just noticed that Clockwork Wumpa isn't in any of the cups either! Seems like Hyper Spaceway took its rightful spot inside the cups. Well, in that case I hope we'll get the eighth cup when the first dlc arrives July 3rd, and consists of Twilight Tour, Boost Track, Clockwork Wumpa and Oxide Station.

They nailed it :) The animations are top-notch in this game, they have some talented people.
It has a story mode and there are going to be new players.
Beyond that, if you're anything more than a "casual" Crash fan, there's PLENTY to spoil. The epilogue and most of the cutscenes have been rewritten from the ground up. With plenty of extra characterization of the bosses. It's not 1:1. There is new content, too. There is plenty you can spoil in Nitro-Fueled. And I've seen enough of the things in the game to know that.
Odd, not even opencritic shows a timer for when the reviews arrive.
It's probably (I hope) gonna be 12 player online, like Mario Kart. That would mean me and my friends in a team and the other team is either other players or CPU.

Pretty sure there are no team mechanics or scoring systems in races, despite the game's misleading name. It's free for all in every mode except for battle.
Inspired as CTRNF may be, I wonder if Beenox saw Team Sonic Racing implementing team mechanics and slapped their foreheads. "Man why didn't we think of that, the word team is in the title."
you joke but Nitro kart had team Mechanics, really the first game should of be called CNK and the second one CTR
They should have just never changed CNK's name :V Or made Nitro Kart a subtitle or something.
It was called Crash Team Racing 2 for a not insignificant portion of its development.
Thing is you can't see that from a thumbnail and if it's marked there shouldn't be an issue posting the videos for people who do want to watch.
Hmm I think I explained wrong. As long as I can race against all my buddies online via some sort of matchmaking that I believe MK has as well its all good with me. Team wasn't the right word. It's everyone for themselves but my friends would just join my game and then either we host one with CPU or go online.
Oh, yeah, that ought to be available. I think the player limit is 8 though, not 12.
Anyone know if the PS4/Switch Versions both run at the same Framerate? Thats pretty much the deciding factor for me.
They do. No performance tests yet, but both appear to run smoothly.
Same as it's been for the last few releases, for better or worse. Hasn't been indicative of issues with Crash or Sekiro so far from Acti. They're just stingy about review code, I guess.
Yep, definitely not indicative of quality in this instance -- I'd just selfishly prefer a longer lead time with the review is all!
Believe me, I appreciate that viewpoint lol. They're quirky. I write exclusively for a site about Crash, so of course they saw fit to send me 500 dollars worth of Skylanders ahead of release but I can't get a download code for the Crash game lol
Damn, just got confirmation from two retailers that the game won't launch in Sweden before monday since friday(21st) is a holiday here....
(bla, bla just buy digital)....but i want the box, but also i want to play it all sunday long. I might actually enter the digital era...

lol, I've only ever seen it in gif form. I don't think he was mad or anything it's just how his face goes when he's done smiling. Resting Larry face.
Hmm, still no Pit Stop as it's online only.
My fear is we'll see a Fortnite-esque approach where only certain items will be purchasable on the store at certain times. So best buy that item before it disappears, who knows when it will show up again. Hurry up, clock is ticking.
I'm glad they confirmed no miscrotransactions, though I believe they only said at launch, and it's frustrating already the customization is tied to an unlock system.
I'm on holiday at the moment in a place with... decentish online? It can connect, but it might drop occasionally, that means losing out on potential Wumpa Coins in the process. Online will have to wait until I get home in full, but I hope I can get a good cache of coins and pick up the Pura in Boots outfit at least.
Ah well, 3 days left. Hopefully things go swimmingly and there isn't a n-sane grind.

Unless you plan to mostly play on the go, the PS4 version will look better and presumably have more players to race against online.
Also you'll be able to face off against ME >:D
There is an image of the pitstop floating around. It appears that all the items are available at all times, but there is a "Daily Deals" section where certain items are discounted depending on the day. So you can't miss things and have to wait, but you can miss a discount.
I didn't notice it in videos but sometimes it can be hard to see in YouTube videos, how is the anti aliasing on the X and Pro?
Hmm, that's going to depend on how easy it is to get Wumpa Coins though. Hopefully you can reasonably get the full price versions and it's not the discounted ones you can really only be able to afford.
I think a litmus test would be, within a week of playing, I would have enough to get, let's say... Pura "Puss in Boots" Legendary, the Crash "Aviator" Legendary and the Pinstripe "Casino" one. I'll throw in the Penta Legendary as well (Whatever that is, seems like a legendary) Then I would have one for each speed class I would use. 3-4 legendaries in a week of playing offline modes (With an internet connection) I would argue is fairly reasonable. Although I will also take into mind early game generousity as well.
For what it's worth, the screenshot was of the daily deals screen, early in the day yesterday. Yesterday was the first day we've seen legit copies in the wild, so they hadn't had much time to play, and if I'm remembering correctly, the person had almost double the coins of the most expensive item on the screen. So take that as you will.
Again though, most games do tend to give a lot of currency early on to make it seem more generous than it is. It's just really a wait and see at this point. I hope it's generous enough as this game is potentially a GOTY candidate for me already with what I've played of it at the demo back at London MCM, the only things they have to nail in my mind is good online options and netcode, along with a not being super aggressive on monetisation.
