So no its very much necessary if you want gold/platinum relics. It also improves the distance you get with super jumps.

About as annoying as playing as Coco on the water levels in Crash 1 and jumping through the lily pads to your death. I mean, you landed on it girl how did that kill you omg. It even shows the lily pad giving way because reasons.
Arg!

I finished Crash 1 with all the gems and enjoyed it to death, but does the game seem blurry in motion for anyone else? The IQ is magnificent when I'm standing still, but (on "2D" stages) the second I start moving and focusing on the character, everything kind of slurs together to the point where it started to hurt my eyes a bit. This was most prevalent on The Lost City but appeared in a number of other stages. I think it's more than just motion blur, as I've never had a problem with it before. I haven't played 2 or 3, so I don't know if what I'm talking about persists to those.
I found short hopping to be a lot more reliable.

Have you got a TV with either motion interpolation (Is it rated something silly like 200/240hz or whatever?) Or has a function like resolution upscaling built in? Both can cause edge artifacts on motion also as while the game does have motion blur it's nothing that bad.
Or your TV could be bad at handling motion full stop?
Just got the Gem. Let's go! Gonna get the other Clear Gems and call it a night.

Great, now the last segment (I think) of The Lost City is doing me in.
And I thought Native Fortress was brutal but augh.
Time for sleep and work to keep me away from this game but I'll be heading back...
Overthinking is thy enemy.

I've found that if you're dying repeatedly, it's good to just take a break and come back to it later.

I'm getting farther without dying each time but man, this new obstacle they added just threw me completely off and I had just had it for the night.
Also the game over screen is so evil and cruel. That thing could give kids nightmares. Jesus.

I actually enjoyed the gimmick levels as a kid. Nowadays, not so much because the controls really don't hold up for the bike or plane levels. Coco's jet-ski levels are still great, with a lot of open space.
I feel like Naughty Dog ended Crash on a good note. They could tell they were hitting their ceiling with regards to new ideas for Crash and would rather work on something else that won't involve Universal.
I felt the gimmicks more in Spyro 3 in comparison. Still fun, but again, a lot of random skateboard or mini-games and other playable characters. Both franchises just doubled down on those aspects instead of game design, which is what ended up killing them unfortunately.
Best wishes.

Man, I am breezing through Crash 2... collecting gems like crazy.
I was lucky to get one in Crash 1 xD

I finally got all the gems in Crash 1 and have redeemed my younger self! To be honest, the last few gems were quite easy, even on the High Road. I suppose, death after death has forged me into a Crash warrior!
Although, after moving on the Crash 2, the mechanics threw me off a bit and I died several times on Snow Go and Hang Eight. Oh well, at least I get a change of scenery.

I've got the GAF standard KS8000, no auto motion plus or anything like that. It's running on a Pro so upscaling shouldn't be an issue. Maybe my eyes were just having an off day...
Lost City is some goddamned bullshit. I genuinely enjoy the difficult platforming, but getting through that level with all the boxes and then being told I ALSO have to no-death run it to get the colored gem is infuriating! And I was just starting to feel good about getting clear gems and all.
Fuck!!!
Fuck!!!

Got to ending credits on all three, and I don't think I'm going to go for 100%. I had fun going down memory lane, yet I doubt I'll play again. My favorite is still 3, much more variety.
Oh well I guess. Not a fan of the boxart anyways. I can't even guarantee I still have my case for crash 2. It is probably stuck in a box somewhere and that is where I would have wanted to put it.
Okay, there needs to be a graphic on the pause screen that points out that the touchpad will, without confirmation, quit whatever you're in (paused in a level goes back to the level select and paused on level select goes to the title). This is kind of a wild thing to not even confirm.

Mother of God...The High Road time trial. Please tell me this is the hardest one.
The Lab is the hardest if you're going for the platinum. If you're only going for golds then I'd say The High Road is the hardest.
Needs a Photoshop with "sadistic bastard" or similar.
He even briefly talked about the level at this year's E3 lol.
Yes, yes.
In all honesty that wasn't as evil as expected, for my partner, not me I sucked.
Ripper Roo is balls hard until you realise his dirty secret. Then all danger is removed and it's actually too easy.
No, because it's fucking awful, god.
Yep, but I don't think we're supposed to talk about it in this thread (it's a direct result of the frame rate). It's the same reason many found Sonic Generations to be blurry in the 2D sections on console.
Finally, I can crouch and slide jump
I'm also calling bullshit on the porcupines being unkillable with their spines up :V
Yeah, there are some wonky hitboxes. But the ice physics seem kinda fucked up too, it's really thrown me off.

Recorded a few plat relics while playing through Crash 2:
Hang Eight
Bear It
Road to Ruin
Only got a few more to get in Crash 2 before moving on to Crash 3. Crash 1 was definitely more frustrating to get relics in, but 2 is very challenging in some levels.

This had me stuck for a good hour as well
I finally got the timing down to a science when I realized you have to start your jump towards that first flame while it is still going--landing on it just as it goes out gives you enough time to make it across the next two before they begin again
Fuck that level
Without a doubt. So much content lovingly recreated with tender and care, I'm enjoying this more than any other release so far this year.
If you like platform games, undoubtedly.
It will make you swear like a sailor but that's part of the fun.
Cool. Haven't played Crash since I was a kid, and I was hoping it still held up.

Getting the Lost City gem feeling = beating the final boss of Bloodborne Old Hunters feeling.
Can't wait to have my ass handed to me on later levels of Crash 1 though.

Absolutely.
Coming from someone who didn't think I'd enjoy the classic crash formula anymore--dated 90s platformer etc etc--the game has been recreated beautifully, and the play holds up better than I ever thought it did--hard Ass crash 1 included
It's priced perfectly too

Nah, there's one for killing enemies in certain ways in each game as Coco, but the trophy list lets you do it all with whatever character you wish.
Don't think so off the top of my head, just one for using her moves on an enemy.

Picked this up today at Best Buy, I was a N64 kid, so I didn't play Crash much at all. Really enjoying the game.
That didn't go so well last time 👀
Tony isn't interested in working with Activision again, so not likely lol

I'd just like to point out that Activision of all companies just put out one of the best platformers of the year.
If the devil designed a level of a video game, The High Road time trial would be it.
