Ugh, Drift was that you playing? Your wastefulness of fruit and boxes gave me physical pain!! I was already planning on getting this but now I need digital so I can get it ASAP. I must untrigger myself!

I've never played the series, was too old at the time to enjoy cute stupid heroes. :P

Plus I was lent the game at 1 pm and had to have videos ready for 4 with about 30 minutes of encoding for each so it's not like I really had time to try to play well. :)

Lol I gotcha. Crash was the first game I played on PS1 so it hits me in the feels.

I hope I play better in the third one so you can sleep well tonight. Videos are encoding, but I've just added one more from Crash 2.

Blasphemous heresy!!!

I hope you at least redeemed yourself in the eyes of the lord by playing CTR - Crash Team Racing (much better than Mario Kart at the time). Otherwise your sinful soul will forever be damned.

Also, if you played Spyro: The Dragon games, but didn't Crash Bandicoot, not only will your soul be in eternal damnation, but it will also receive 1.000 times more punishment for an even greater sin!

PS. The games look lovely. :)

You're kidding? I was a grown-up then. :D

wow, the terminator spheres on Crash 3 look really bad and not really that well recreated, always liked how they were rendered on crash 3. its in the little things and
why VV is a mid-tier developer.

He ain't wrong.

The nostalgia is strong with this one. I can't even imagine they've aged particularly well, but i still want it. Graphics are great.

Absolutely not. I could write a "wall of text", but instead I will leave you with a GameSpot thread on which is better, Crash Team Racing or Mario Kart 64. You will see arguments by many people as to why one is better than the other. Though in the end, Crash Team Racing wins.

GameSpot - Which do you prefer? Mario Kart 64 or Crash Team Racing?
https://www.gamespot.com/forums/games-discussion-1...

Then there's the Reviews and User Scores:

GameRankings:

Crash Team Racing = 91.78%
Mario Kart 64 = 87.01%

MetaCritic:

Crash Team Racing = 88 (User Score = 8.9)
Mario Kart 64 = 83 (User Score = 8.7)

Outside of these, there's no way to argument which is better. But both critics and users gave Crash Team Racing a higher overall score than Mario Kart 64. So let that be the final word on the subject.

Crash Team Racing was all that and a bag of chips! Tbh I couldn't get back into Mario Kart until I played MK7.

How is it that your videos is 60 fps, but the game itself runs at 30?

Video output on consoles is 59.94, so videos are recorded and encoded at the same framerate to avoid problems. We've already explained it hundreds of times. I know you're new, but I'm not going into details again. What you have to know is:

1. it does not change how the game looks in motion (it does not make it smoother in the videos).
2. if we encoded the videos at 30, it might ad some problems the game does not suffer from.

Hope it helps understand.

And 30 FPS games with bad framepacing would lose some frames, as the simplest way to convert a 60 FPS video to 30 is to remove odd or even frames.
Also, this type of game may look smoother sometimes when converted to 30 whereas in reality the bad framepacing introduces stutter, so that would not represent the real game.

I really, really, freaking really want a new Crash Team Racing. But that's just my very crazy dreaming brain's wildest wishes. (But... it's not impossible.)
