I also love how you can do Bonus levels over again. I was always so pissed I had to soothe entire level again to have another crack at the bonus levels. I don't know how we tolerated it in the past.

well in the first game the bonus rounds didn't count towards box total meaning you didn't need to do them to get the gem

Thinking....i wonder if there's any kind of reward unlocked for Platinuming all 3 games? Kind of like the Sly Cooper remasters when you platinumed all 3 you got to see the new Sly game teaser.

Wouldn't it be awesome if you platinum all 3 crash games and it unlocks a Spyro Remaster teaser, or maybe a teaser for an all new Crash game?

I've been hearing from several friends of mine who went out to buy the game today that it's sold out in loads of places (Birmingham, UK). With one place which had a queue out the door to grab the game.

Obviously this is just an isolated case in South Birmingham but still a nice thought!

My copy hasn't turned up and I was considering picking it up from GAME after work, they don't have any stock!

Anyone knows how i activate the invisible lifts in the first levels? Cant see a way to use them.

 

[swearing-circle]

Loving it so far but definitely noticing a few blemishes in the first game.

On the temple ruins level, I got every box and the gem but got killed by the bats just before the portal as I landed on it.

This resulted in me completing the level but the results screen was absent of crash and there was no way to continue but a hard restart.

Also, the jumping seems somewhat off to me at times. It does feel like I'm missing platforms which I wouldn't have in the original. Maybe it's just me getting used to the game again but I'm noticing deaths from jumps that I felt I should have made and deaths as a result of crash being slightly too far back or forward on the 2.5D levels.

Also, not sure if I'm liking the analogue controls. Might just be because I always used the D-pad though.

Intro being unskippable sucks too. It was cool the first time around but it's not exactly short.

All things considered though, this is an amazing remake.

Some levels give you a colored gem instead of a clear one. You need the correct colored gem to activate the gem platforms.

If it's what I think it is, you'd have to find 3 Coco icons to activate it.

 

[Yautja_Warrior]

Pretty much as I remember, only with massively improved graphics. Crash 1 is still bloody hard but it's good to have an old school challenge again.

Really enjoying it so far though, brings back memories if the PS1 days.

 

[MrCookiepants]

Wow I beat Ruination without getting a game over. I remember that level being the bane of my childhood. The last warp room was kind of easy all round, actually.

These games are incredibly short. Hard to believe they lasted me years back then. I probably replayed the N.Gin battles about 100 times each, though.

 

[Coolbgdog12]

Amazing remake so far. Loving it.

Missed opportunity with it not being 60fps though.

 

[noomi]

anyone care to comment on the length of the games? It's been decades (?) since I last played them.

 

[papertoonz]

If it's what I think it is, you'd have to find 3 Coco icons to activate it.

first those are tawna icons not coco

second i believe he is talking about the gem platforms, not the bonus round teleporter which is what those are for

 

[CortexVortex]

It seems that basically everybody who works here bought Crash. I've had so many fun discussions about these games today, it's incredible.

 

[Fj0823]

Game is a total hit.

VV gonna become a Crash factory for Activision

 

[GarciaHotspur]

It's fun. Pure fun.

Not a good thing considering its Activision.

 

[cordy]

How's the music?

 

[TheOGB]

But you did have to do them in order to save 😬

Hahaha

No. We need Spyro trilogy next.

 

[vaderise]

So how do i unlock Coco in the first game?

 

[Retro Edge]

Man, on most levels in 1 I just can't find every crate, where the heck are they?
Are some behind the gem platforms?

 

[Ray Down]

I forgot how much I kinda stink at Crash 1.

So how do i unlock Coco in the first game?

Get past the first boss, Below his stage is a time portal that allows Coco to come into the game.

 

[silva1991]

How's the music?

I'm personally digging it.

 

[CHC]

How is the anti aliasing? Is it that sweet, smooth temporal kind that's in Ratchet & Clank?

 

[yunbuns]

Me waiting for the post woman:

I'm personally loving it. The chance of a Spyro return comes ever closer...

And CTR.

It's beautiful, game looks like a painting, perfect anti aliasing.

 

[iFirez]

My game from Amazon just arrived, not long until I leave the office either.

 

[silva1991]

Game looks clean as hell to me. If it's not as clean as R&C then it's pretty close.

 

[Sullichin]

Well, ashamed to admit I died so many times in Native Fortress the game gave me a pity checkpoint. Not that it's helpful Got it though. It's funny seeing everyone struggle with this level. They get wayy harder.

The spinning hand platforms are far less frustrating in this version too. The fucking sound of them in the original games was an insult in itself.

Box gem on hog wild second try tho. Just super familiar with that level lol. I have the music stuck in my head.

Played the first island of 1 and a few levels from the first warp room in 2. I'm in heaven.

 

[HazySaiyan]

Not a single shop in my town had any left for sale

 

[privitsan02]

Still waiting on mine to arrive. Hopefully its here before 3pm so my day off doesn't feel like a total waste.

Best wishes.

 

[Sullichin]

Yeah. Especially in the first island.

N.Sanity Beach
Hog Wild
Boulders

Might be the only ones you can get the box gem your first time around? Might be missing one there.

 

[Enclose]

Some levels give you a colored gem instead of a clear one. You need the correct colored gem to activate the gem platforms.

If it's what I think it is, you'd have to find 3 Coco icons to activate it.

thanks both , will try it out later today!

Where do you live if you don't mind me saying?

Looks like it's mopping up!

 

[ShiftaDeband]

Man, Amazon has messed up ANOTHER delivery date guarantee. Anyone else in the same boat?

I don't think I'm going to continue buying games on Amazon anymore if this is the case.

Huddersfield UK. Just ended up ordering on Amazon

Some textures are unimpressive, but man does this game look great for the most part.

IQ is insane, I'm so glad console games are no longer the jaggy, blurred messes they were last gen.

Native Fortress was a huge pain in the ass, I finally got past it though. Are many later levels that long? It reminded me a lot of that really long level at the end of the first world of Bit.Trip Runner, not necessarily super hard but very, very long and you have to do a lot of moderately hard stuff with zero margin for error. The hog level was bullshit too, it felt like I often couldn't react to stuff like the shield guys in time, you need to memorize some of their movements to get through.

Overall it's fun though. I can't remember the last time I played a game as focused on platforming as this, i forgot how much I like them. It sometimes feels in 1 like it's hard to land jumps precisely, like in the parts of Native Fortress where you bounce up on the arrow boxes I'd often seem to miss a box by a pixel or two and fall all the way down. If 2 and 3 tighten stuff like that up a little I'll love them.

 

[Sullichin]

I mean I know all the secrets already but there's something lame about the hints on the loading screen. Basically straight up telling you how to get the blue gem in Turtle Woods, or that the bear unlocks a secret path in Unbearable. Hm.

 

[HazySaiyan]

Hopefully you get it soon bud!

I better do, I paid for the one day delivery!

Finished 2 islands in CB1. It looks great, modern, and 1440p gives a great clarity. I hope it will get HDR in the future. >_<

 

[Ray Down]

Lol at Uncharted 4 in the beginning of Crash 2 opening.

 

[ComputerBlue]

Started playing but it's running like shit while 2 and 3 are installing so now I'm just waiting in the menu enjoying the tunes.

 

[Sullichin]

Slightly unrelated but does the PS4 Pro sound like a jet engine/vacuum cleaner when it's running?

My launch PS4 is so fucking loud, it sounds like this game is going to make it explode. That's every game now though. I can't believe I'm considering getting a Pro for the first time ever just to have a higher resolution

 

[digitalrelic]

Ugh... My Best Buy online order says that the game isn't going to be delivered until tomorrow. WTF?

If I were to hop into a local Best Buy today & pick the game up, would I be able to return the other copy that arrives tomorrow using today's receipt? Or would there be some type of a mismatch during the return process?
