Online is broken af.
What the hell is this mess lol.
Guess I'll stick with story mode (that's amazing btw) until they fix the multiplayer.

Just like how the N Sane Trilogy by a different Dev was 30fps on both but with the Switch having a horrible 480p resolution on handheld.
It may be a little early to ask, but I would love it if Sekiro: Shadows Crash Twice would be the OT2 for this thread, should we get that far that is.
Right I need to load the original up becuase these relic challenges feel twice as hard as they were originally. Feels like you have no leeway at all for going just wide of a box. Maybe it's my memory. Even gold on mystery caves is near impossible. Hit near every box, get tons of slide boosts and still a second off.
Don't forget the sheer hammering the servers are getting. Day 1 online on any game is like this.
Can't decide for the life of me what system I want it on (PS4 or Switch).
How does it play in handheld mode on Switch? The N.Sane Trilogy was really blurry undocked.

That shouldn't affect the match quality though.
Online is likely just broken unless theres a day one patch or something thats yet to go out.
Every track in this game rocks. The CNK tracks in particular are really, really good. I've yet to come across one that I dislike.
The one exception to all of this is Sewer Speedway. The shortcut is almost impossible to reach if you don't hit it at a 90 degree angle. And then the camera will get funky mid-air after you leave the shortcut through the tunnel at the end. To top it all off, you can't drive on the walls like in the original. Instead, the game pushes you down and it just sucks. The entire track feels very janky, which is odd because literally every other track feels smooth.

It's not just you. It feels like the hitbox on those things is tiny. I had to give up on getting some Platinum's for now while I finish up the rest of the game.
They obviously knew online was broken, I wonder if that was why the review embargo is set for launch. Most games nowadays seems to have the embargo a day before at least or even earlier.
Super split on which difficulty mode to pick from. I feel pretty seasoned from the classic game, but it sounds like hard is super tough even then?
It depends how the multiplayer is handled. If it all goes through the CTR servers then it will cause issues.
Oh this is horseshit it's gone midnight and the game is still locked. I stayed up for this even though I have work at 6am.
Ok crisis averted it's starting now lol

So I've never played ctr before somehow over the entirety of my life. If I enjoy Mario kart would I be into this a lot?
It's damn near impossible to hit stuff powersliding, I swear. Give me my gold relic! This is like getting plat on the original.
Doesn't help that it's often not applying the landing turbo properly off the turtles.
Edit: FINALLY got it. Holy crap. I don't even want to know what the plat score is.

I have not played any Mario Kart since 64, but CTR was a more fast paced action-y version of Mario Kart with a wierd story and really cartoony charachters. So if that sounds good it should be something to try out.
Yup, all the content and post launch support they're adding, stuff that we didn't really expect. They clearly don't give a shit.
I thought Sonic Team Racing was hard when everyone said it was easy...can't wait to see how I do with CTR. Haha.
God damn. I hope this get fixed by the time I pick it up. It probably will cuz Activision will support this game unlike Sega and TSR.
Wow. They really have made hard mode hard! CTR vet here. I'm switching to medium for now.
Also, they've NAILED the game feel.

Fun fact: It's been a month, lobbies still work horribly and the PS4 audio glitch is still there :P. I'm not holding out too much hope on a patch at this point.
Hopefully better than that embarrassing Spyro collection
If it's 4K I'll bite. No excuse really considering the framerate.
I've gotten 101% and beaten all Oxide ghosts in anticipation the past few week, and yeah, hard mode is HARD. But it really feels like I'm getting messed over by items more than anything.
Imma do classic first, I just wanted to try it out. Honestly something about the game feels a little off to me.

Yeah it's so sad because it could be so fun to play. Since the game seems to not have done that great, they probably won't bother with a patch :(.
Damn that's a shame for those looking to jump straight to online mode. I hope playing online with friends located nearby will be much better though, because I plan to do that over the weekend.
This shit is bannable and rightly so. Get out of here with that trash.
Not only did they faithfully remake CTR, they put in all tracks and characters from CNK plus a shitton of customization and extra features + plan to support the game with free content for months to come. All this for only 40€/$. Yet the devs clearly didn't give a shit.
The devs double the content, plan a roadmap of support entirely for free, remake the cutscenes entirely, add customization but hey they don't give a shit because of the framerate :P.
When your XB1X and Pro versions are identical (identically bad framepacing too) I would say it is pretty embarrassing. It shows the 1X version was an afterthought.
I expect more from PS1 remakes than 1440p 30fps with poor pacing
Yeah, that's bad. I'll busy myself with Adventure mode and unlocking skins and characters while Beenox figures out... all that.
Gonna be real honest but the game feels a lot heavier and really off for me in general. I've only tried speed characters so far (but even in the original I felt like I had more control with them) but I can say for sure hops are just worse now.
isn't the fact it's a ps1 remake completely irrelevant when the entire thing is built up from scratch
You are conveniently ignoring that the console with a stronger CPU and GPU still is identical to the Pro. Hopefully they take advantage of the power this time is all I'm saying. Loved the game back in the day but I don't like supporting that kind of stuff.
I'd at least like to believe they are confident they can get the online working properly, hopefully sooner than later, considering they seem to heavily invest in post launch online content.
Loading times are awful on Xbox One X, tried on internal and external (4To 3.5" which is faster), it's faster on the external but still very long mostly after a race to see the podium you can't skip.
I did not play CTR since more than 20 years but it's still fun and gameplay came back quickly despite playing a lot of Team Sonic Racing lately.
