Crash Bandicoot: N.Sane Trilogy |OT| N.Teresting and N.Tertaining N.Fographics With-N

My older sister who is a super casual player never played the first Crash Bandicoot. We both started as kids on 2 then 3 afterwards, but I played and beat the first Crash a few times (never 100% though)

She's about to pick up her N. Sane Trilogy preorder and I'm warning this woman to not even bother with Crash 1 if she values her sanity xD

Fuck the Road to Nowhere
 
So today I learned something new-
In the Coco water levels in Crash 3, if you go up a ramp and do a flip/trick, and you LAND on a rowboat minion, it'll kill them.
 
Just got the red gem on Slippery Climb on my second attempt. My heart was beating so fast towards the end there.

Really enjoying this so far. Is it me or are the bridge levels harder in this remake than the original? They're the levels I've had most trouble with.

This so much, I replayed the original a year ago. No way I was struggling this much, don't know whats off tho.
 
Some of the platinum relics on Crash 1 are super tough. Struggled quite a bit to get it on the first level and on Native Fortress. Can't believe some of those leaderboard times.
 
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?

Sorry to bump so quickly, but just seeing if anyone has any input? I was hoping to go grab a copy during my lunch hour.
 
Why oh why can't I just restart the level in the pause menu when I'm trying to get the colored crystals... why do I have to quit and select the stage again...

VV please I'm dying here
 
Just beat Native Fortress and I honestly didn't find it a hard level, sure it is a bit tougher than the previous ones but I managed to do it using only 3 or 4 lives in my first attempt

Getting that relic it's gonna be a challenge though


Exactly. I needed a few more attempts cause I run out of lives but it was challenging and fun to beat. Lives means something again in a game likes this and it feels good somehow.
And this game is even very fair to the player, it gives you Aku Aku masks if you die too often and even creates new checkpoints for you. What do you want more?
 
I'm actually finding this easier than the Ps1 game due to the shadow of Crash. I could never ever do those jumping on box to box above a bottomless pit thing. I even tried it in Crash 1 a few months back. Got it on my 3rd try here.

Yeah, same. I'm actually finishing some levels that always made me lose countless times without much issue.
 
People told me slippery climb was the toughest, but that wasn't too bad for me at all.
Picking the game back up today, lights out made up for my relative ease of slippery climb,lights out is kinda garbage.

Following stage poor Coco is buried under 58 boxes, it was a burial the likes of which I've never seen and I watch wrasslin.
 
Wow, everywhere sold out round here and I just grabbed the last copy at Tesco.

And whilst I'm waiting some other guy comes up to get disappointed.

Was a bargain too, £27.99.

With the content I think that's a fair price.
 
So in the first levels of Crash the are some platforms that are invisible.How can i access them? i don't remember and i am constantly missing a few boxes
 
I'm actually finding Crash 1 to be fairly easy going difficulty wise at the moment. Just cleared the first couple of levels on the second island, and anytime I die its mainly just down to me either being impatient or because I mistime my jump (the controls feel really precise, but I have a habit of cutting my jumps short). Plus with the amount of lives left out in the open in the game its hard not to end up with a ton of lives in a short space of time (I've gotten over 30 easy and that's with me dying a few times so far!).

Really loving that the save system was improved, it was the one thing really holding me back originally. Can't wait to really dive into the game at the weekend, I'm planning on plat'ing all 3 games (I love platformers, and love the challenge) and can see me spending plenty of time with these games.
 
Congrats Road Crash, you are the first level to make me frustrated since I played the game.

Motorcycle gameplay is bad, beyond bad even and I'm losing my mind.

The white ones require you to collect 3 face tokens, the colored ones require you to collect a gem of the same color from a different level
 
What are the differences between PS4 and PS4 pro versions?

-1440p v 1080p
-minor visual improvements(shadow clarity and whatnot)
-30fps on both, but PS4 vanilla has very rare bouts of drops.

Watch the DF comparison for more, but that's the gist.

Supersampling on 1080p sets as well.
 
Wasn't going to originally buy this cus I thot (and still do think sometimes) it looks a little... fan-ish (don't cut me) but I did buy it and I'm so glad I did. It's gorgeous, the sound is great, and PLAYABLE COCO! So happy, it's excellent.

Anita Sarkeesian's impact, tbqh.
 
Finished the first game already and started doing the time trials. I'm doing my best and I get the platinum but the best time in the leadorboard are always like 2 second better and I have no idea how they are doing it lol.
 
Amazon came through early for once. The intro and especially the music hit me with a blast of nostalgia.

Played up to Papu Papu for now. Cant wait to dive into it later on.

Kinda amazed at how lovely it looks. I thought the colors would be washed out but hell nah

Same, that was my main concern looking at footage pre-release but that's not a complaint for me at all anymore.

There are only one or two things I'm still not sold on (I find the water kind of eh) but in motion it really does look excellent. :)

Ive noticed an odd shimmering effect if something glowy is near crash (lava pipes on Heavy Machinery). Seems like something related to maybe his fur tech? thats probably the only thing ive seen that looked odd.

I also think Crash looks better than Coco.
Crash is my homie
 
Crash is installed.

Waiting for baby to get to sleep, eat dinner then it's Crash time with my partner.

Much (quiet) swearing to ensue.

Also Amazon got back to me after I escalated my complaint this morning. I received an apology for the service and £15 Amazon credit for my troubles.

Piss me off at your peril, customer service people.
