Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled |OT| Start Your Engines!

But you're blatantly ignoring the reason everybody's calling out the reason the game's difficult. The AI can literally do things you cannot do.
Was a little worried after NST on Switch which I don't think felt or looked so hot. I was ready to be disappointed about the fps but the sense of speed is great, and it looks good. I don't have any complaints with performance. An eventual PC version might really blow me away but I'm glad I got this on switch
Boom! Now to dive into time trials.
I also had a really good run online on Android Alley. Probably would have kept the SF boost going for the entire third lap had it not been for that time twister.
Awesome, congrats! I only have 1 of the plat relics. D:
But good to see you're using the best Balanced racer. <3
I'm sure having the exclusive content led people who own PS4 and any of the other consoles to buy the PS4 version, as well.
I'd love the Retro Crash skin.
Casual appeal is something Im sure they are considering for the future. Lets just hope they dont screw with the hardcore mechanics in any future installment.
Definitely should allow people more time to finish races. 20 seconds is absurd and frustrating when you're still having fun in 3rd place
I think kart racers need to add the coop team mechanics of games like sonic because sometimes u just want to coop and not compete
I was actually completely indifferent to Joe before this game. His new cutscenes and animations made me fall in love with him though.
He's easily got one of the best characterizations in this game, especially out of the boss characters.
The boss cutscene where he's sharpening his sword on the wheel of his kart is just amazing, and I love the dance animations a lot too. :D

I'm new to the series, so this is inspirational to say the least lol. WOW. Pro skills, that was pretty awesome.
yeah Easy is a cake walk, but Normal seems to be infuriating
I always liked him but he has the best boss cutscenes easily. Love his voice lines this game too.
Just a heads up, there's a user feedback survey.
I have been playing this off and on over the weekend. I decided to restart and do hard mode, world 1 complete. My hand is cramped up like a mofo though.
Ugh, I was hoping that wouldn't be the case. It's not the end of the world but still pretty annoying to gate characters behind specific packs.So I just saw that N. Trance is only available in the 7200 coin summer time pack.
One of those being a platform that already has a better selling kart racer with a significantly better resolution and twice the fps.
so I went with the X version hoping it's better. oh man this game is amazing looking. This reminds of the Mario Kart before they simplified everything. Loving everything except AI cheapness.
even on medium it is really hard. I mean how can i be boosting at full speed and lose ground ugh.

Are you making use of the reserve system and then super charging those reserves with a boost pad?
finally got my copy. can't wait to start playing tonight :)
i read that there's already a patch, how big is it?

Nice carpet.
The online fix patch is pretty small.
Everything can be done on Easy except for a single PSN Trophy.
That's be nice. It'd be neat if they added more online modes with the upcoming GP.
Apparently they've upped the time you have to finish a race online to 30 seconds. Anyone able to confirm?
I keep reading about these massive coin hauls from online play, but after three races (where I placed between 4th and 6th) I didn't receive a single coin. Or if I did, I wasn't notified of it.
What gives? From what I'm seeing, you're supposed to get coins no matter where you place in the rankings.

Definitely not. In most games I've been in, there's typically one or two players near the top, and then pretty much nobody else finishes in the twenty second limit.
I'm playing online now and it's still 20 seconds unless I need to restart the game.
You don't get a notification of getting coins, but you do get them. Check your store, you should have a bunch.
Ah, awesome! I was thrown off because all of the single player stuff notifies you of your coin haul. At first I figured I wasn't placing high enough to earn them, but when I read about how EVERYONE IS A WINNER in online (which is great because I'm terrible at this game) I was very confused.
Thanks for clearing that up!
Coco was my main in the original CTR and they got her personality completely right in the remakes. Her new podium animation is well... actually an animation rather than just standing there!
You can see your reward if you finish within that 20 second limit. It seems totally random though, I've had 160 for first place, like 200 for 4th place, 60 for 2nd, etc
As noted before, outside of the initial base amount of coins you get that depend on the course and the multiplier tied to it for your placement (x1 for first, lower for placements below 1st), there seems to be a time window for the multiplier increasing significantly in online play.
I actually just sent a mail to Beenox asking for them to clarify, let's see if that'll happen.
I definitely think the idea of a "coin happy hour time limit" that some posters mentioned is factoring into coin rewards here. Me and a friend just played a few races online - for the first 5 or 6 races we got over 300 coins each time. For the 2-3 after that, it was under 100 for both of us.
I wonder if it's the first hour of online play per specified time period (I want to say per day, but I was playing late last night and earning lots of coins. Maybe it resets at midnight).
Hope Beenox clear this up at some point, since there's no real reason to keep the coin earning formula secret.

I know it's a stretch asking this here, but how does the hard mode here compare to ModNation Racer's PS3's adventure mode? (before they added in the patch to reduce the difficulty). Based on the impressions I'm reading, it seems like it's much harder than that.
Also, trying to determine whether I should just pick up the Switch version now for $30 from that Target sale. I haven't had time to play anything so it would be silly to just buy now and barely play, if it's going to cheaper later.

I can't give you a comparison, but Hard mode basically requires you to play just about perfectly and know how to use the drift boosting mechanics REALLY well, and the AI is incredibly aggressive.
There's been some explanations on how the AI works in this game a couple of pages back - the gist of it is that they have a set time they are finishing at (give or take a few seconds), which are very low on hard, and they are given an increase in speed to make up for getting hit with items.
As it's been said a million times, the AI doesn't speed up to make up for getting hit by items. The problem is how strictly they stick to their path and how little variation there is from their normal routes.
I won my first online race! It wasn't clean but I'll take it. I never played much of the original so the boosting has been a learning process.
