Some areas do feel cheap I agree. Not all of them.
Crash's wonky jumping doesn't help either.

Road to nowhere is kicking my fucking ass.

Just finished the first game... I thought it was pretty challenging.
It was great, as long as you didn't ask me to get any gems.
I think it's digital control even if you use the analogue stick. (I'd strongly recommend the d pad)
It's not. Crash actually has two speeds with the analogue stick and maybe more directions (can't remember).
D-pad is still the right choice though.

Use the Dpad.
I was gonna say that on this thread after I just beat Crash 1 in like 3-4 hours. I hardly remember ever beating this as a kid.
Then I saw the salt mountains in this thread.
Beating bad games like IWBTG and Boshy might've helped.

Slippery Climb was actually fun for me, but the High Road and Road to Nowhere can die in a fire.
Just beat Crash 1. Not quite sure what to make of the experience. On the one hand, it is (mostly) a fun platformer, and I honestly didn't mind that it was balls hard. It was truthfully quite refreshing in this day and age to have a game so relentlessly pound my ass into the ground until I was willing to learn from my own mistakes and get better. However, I didn't always feel like deaths were my fault, which is my problem with the game.
The controls just aren't precise enough (even with the almighty D-pad) to perform some of the ultra precise, frame perfect jumps this game asks you to do, and there are many obstacles in levels that just seem to come out of nowhere, almost forcing you to replay a level over and over until you've memorized it, which can feel cheap at times. This is especially frustrating since limited lives can prevent you from continuing at checkpoints indefinitely. Also, I'm not sure if this is specific to this collection or not, but some of the physics and collison detection seemed really messed up. I died many times from objects and attacks that were beneath or above me, and generally a fair distance from me. The turtle jumping mechanics in those awful bridge levels are also really poor, and I found myself unable to consistently make jumps (yes, I know to just hold down X after jumping) as Crash just sometimes wouldn't go far enough, no matter what I did.

R, I'm pretty mixed on this one, y'all. On the one hand, there's nothing else quite like it on PS4 right now, and it's a fun, refreshingly challenging experience. On the hand, it can also be some straight up cheap, infuriating bullshit, and it also feels a tad clunky to control. There are also few games that can make me rage and yell at my screen nowadays, but Crash 1's High Road... Overall, 7/10. Would rage again.

Anyone know when will the dlc release?

DLC?
Lol, the exact same thing happened to me a few minutes ago. I believe the only way to defeat them is by jumping on them. I tried to spin and kill one, but I just bounced backwards into the abyss, haha. It was right at the end of the level too, with only three boxes to go...
Yeah, forgot to mention this. The way some of these camera angles are positioned can make depth perception a major issue in specific situations. Focusing on your shadow can alleviate this, but it's also pretty difficult to do that and focus on what's ahead of you.

Honestly the only part of Crash 1 I've found difficult are the time trials. Whoever chose the times is a cruel being.
Getting those colored gems is hell.
I'm trying desperately to get the one in Slippery Climb, but to no avail.
I used up all my patience getting the ones in the previous levels and finishing High Road without using the rope trick.
I'm all tapped out mentally for today and even coffee won't help me concentrate. Tomorrow's a new day and maybe, just maybe I'll finish Slippery Climb without losing a life.
Otherwise I might just finish the game and go to Crash 2...

It sucks but I finally got it, time to try Generator Room now, I'm scared of the platforming in this level because depth perception can be really tricky here.

My Green Gem run in The Lost City. Died once in a bonus round, but the rest was pretty much fine.

Just reached Road to Nowhere - our live game over count is currently at 7 and climbing...
Goddamn the red platforms requiring short hops throw you off!

Yup, these are my only nitpicks with this collection

I platinumed the 1st game and still missing 2 trophies from "Lost Treasure" set, thought they were the dlc.
Fucking Megaaaaton if true....
If anything, it's a charming Easter Egg toward the original release. Though a new Spyro game by Vicarious Visions and/or Insomniac isn't fully off the cards. Just gotta see what happens

The Spyro code is definitely *in* the game, it just doesn't do a fucking thing currently.
Interestingly, the position it places your cursor is two to the right of Warped...

When has a base game's platinum ever been tied to DLC?
alexbull_uk
Member
The platinum isn't tied to those trophies though. That's the point.
Potentially. It would be neat if a Spyro demo were patched in, but I don't see it happening unless remakes are greenlit. Vicarious could then quietly include it in a general update, although the size would probably be large enough to arouse suspicion.

After several hours of doing the time trial on Sunset Vista, this happened: https://youtu.be/owciT2TwlG0
I wanted to cry.
(I kill the final lizard in mid air, but when I land his knockback triggers forcing Crash to run off the ledge.)
An hour later I finally beat it. Turns out the pace I was aiming for was a full 30+ seconds faster than the time needed for platinum. Whoops.

Press R1 in the center platform of the warp room to go to the next one

I did too. You have to stand on the platform and hit the button that it shows. It would have been nice if the game told you that before hand, in some fashion.

I have two issues with these remakes.
1. The load times are pretty garbage.
2. The new lighting, while it looks great, it's a huge issues for me becase a lot of the time it makes it difficult to see your shadow. Perhaps it's my own fault for depending on it too much, but it was quite visible in the original for a reason.
