Oh okay, didn't remember that. Still pretty stupid IMO, since it's so easy to accidentally hit the touch pad, but whatever. Just gotta be careful I guess.

Something I have to get use to in Crash 1 now is when you jump on a box on top of a small platform. In the original game, doing so would drift Crash slightly forward and make it easier for him to fall off. So when you jumped on a box located on a tiny platform, you'd have to tap down on the dpad to make sure you didn't fall off.
Now you don't have to do that anymore in the remake.
I don't think it ever was.

I felt bad because I just decided to pre-order this game on Tuesday when I was at the store. They held a midnight launch because they pulled enough preorders, but I wasn't able to attend because of work.
Went in today before work (I work night shift so this was an hour and a half before close) to pick it up and they knew I was there because they had received so many calls about extra copies today and mine was the only one still waiting to be picked up. They know me by name there, so they were immediately like "here for Crash right?" when I walked in.
Glad to hear this seems to be doing extremely well. Seems like a really good remaster. Can't wait to play when I go home in the morning.
Yeah, I'm very happy with the final product, after not really feeling any of the Crash designs post WoC (which was just PS1 Crash with more polygons).
I kinda feel like Crash 1 is so unintuitive that you need hints for it. The game is already hard enough as shown by reviewers who dont even wanna bother doing their job.

Not sure if already posted but
that reminds me of this http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1222528
This should've been the standard case. Just like for Wipeout. Oh well, missed opportunities seems to be Sony's strong side. Other than that, I thought "I should pick this up" when I went to a meeting yesterday, only to notice that it was sold out in the store, check up online and it's sold out in all of the chains 25 stores.

Yeah so I finished Crash 1. I did better than I thought and had over 50 lives at the end (I didn't repeat any levels yet except for the few running ones). Final boss wasn't that easy, took me a few attempts to survive the penultimate phase. Some levels really wrecked me, I rarely have anything good to say about Gamespot reviews, but they were right that they should've smoothed over some of the difficulty spikes.

Crash 1 done, good game, but not as good as I remember it, I can certainly see why some outlets game this game an above average review score. It was a good first attempt from Naughty Dog at the time.
Time to beat Crash 2!

I *think* I've found the best way to farm 99/infinite lives in Crash 1. The High Road can give you five lives in under two minutes, then you quit out to main menu and refresh. Much faster than killing bats or running through levels for fruit.

Updated version of Hang Eight music is spectacular.
I'm in love with this.

Wondered what the fuss about Native Fortress was until I got towards the end. Those jumps are unforgiving.
I need to go out and actually do something productive today, this game is going to eat my weekend for lunch.

That's honestly one of the better remastered tracks. Even though I like the original better!

Getting one Aku Aku mask I believe was in the original. But getting 2 like in this one, no.

Yeah this is what I recall.
I don't think the extra checkpoints were in original either.

I think you're right. I don't remember getting two of them.

Its screwing me up especially on the bridge levels, the collapsing planks seem to fall much faster and easy in this one.

I remember the extra checkpoints were in Crash 2 originally.
Yeah, that's what I did yesterday for that level, but now I'm on High Road, and I just keep falling off the ropes. These controls, urgh.
That only means ee have become terrible at games lol, games nowadays have to much handholding and i love this remake stayed faithful to the originals in difficulty.
These controls are tight. I need to be perfect in everything I do. Jumping on platforms, landing on enemies etc. I almost got my first game over at Boulder Bash. 😭

I don't think it's quite that precise, albeit close in several places I'm sure.
same haha
Lives don't respawn though? Or do they come back if you fully quit the game?

I had no problem with Native Fortress, but Road to Nowhere is frustrating me beyond belief. More than any souls game did, as a matter of fact.

I can't even think of 1 standout level in Crash 3, but I can name so many bad ones. Childhood ruined. The boss fights are the best in the series, though.
Fake edit: tiger riding on the Great Wall of China was pretty dope I guess.
