Huh. Crash 2 in comparison fairs much better, in my opinion. Then again, the physics were changed from Crash 2 onwards, making Crash 1 the odd duck. You can especially tell in the N.Sane Trilogy, which ports back the newer physics, and some of Crash 1's levels do not play well with it (bridge levels are the obvious examples).

The real issue with Crash 1 on N.Sane is less the updated physics and more the changes made to hitboxes (most noticeable in the bridge levels). There are some minor changes here and there, for instance the big tnt in Ripper Roos fight behaves like normal tnt in N.Sane but blows up much faster in the original, making it way easier to time. Yeah, Crash 2 and onward play just fine on PS1, Crash 1 just has a horrible case of Sonic 1 Syndrome (again, the remake fixes most of it).

Honestly, between the pill-shaped hit box and more iffy physics in the remale version, I'd say the original still controls better, especially since it doesn't have a gimped Crash 3 jump.

Best of luck, especially for Mad Space.

Speedrun that shit! Let's go!

Don't force yourself. A great deal of those emblems just aren't fun or worth your time.

If that's really the case then we probably won't hear anything till Ratchet is out too.

Those two games represent where Sonic should be atm. After Forces, something tells me we won't be seeing anywhere near that with the next title. If I was Sega I'd be embarrassed too tbh.

I joke about CTR killing TSR but the problem was TSR was that game as a whole was solely dependent on the team gimmick which was the main selling point instead of an optional mode in the team races in Mario Kart. Which also lead to a safe level design and a limited roster since they wanted to have dialogue in the game. Also the online match making system was pretty bad.

@Dejimon11 Gotta also love how Iizuka said TSR was reportedly delayed out of 2018 to fix the online...

Really, the biggest problem concerning TSR that it's just a mediocre concepts put together that few were sold on and nobody was asking for. Nothing about "ASR, but only Sonic characters and with team mechanics" sounds exciting, and both the tight budget scope and limited creative freedom only reinforced that, with the execution being functional but nothing special.

The fact it was delayed to go up against a classic kart racer people actually wanted to be brought back, that was faithfully remade with extra bells and whistles on top of it; just made TSR look that much worse as a dueling product.

Honestly ASR with Sonic characters is a good idea. It was just extremely bare bones. For a franchise that has nearly 30 years worth of games why is the stage selection so limited? Why is the character roster so bare bones? It just seemed like the only reason why the game existed was because they wanted to sell a soundtrack

@Dejimon11 I'll give you that a Sonic-centric ASR isn't inherently a terrible idea; it's just that from the responses I've read, a lot of people wanted an actual ASR3, and people asking for Sonic racer was looking for something more unique like Riders (hoverboards) or Sonic R (on-foot racing) instead of a kart racer. (On that note, I still think the Boost gameplay in particular would make for a great racing spinoff series.)

Definitely agree with you on it being bare bones, which I think goes back to the execution being lacking--if they gave the game a sizable budget and went loose with creativity, they made a higher quality game that appealed to larger audience and actually held on its own against Crash (if only by so much, considering how weak the marketing was).

Same. Last time I did it, I was well into it, and then it stopped progressing. At first, I thought It was caused by one of my many mods. After toying around a bit, I found that it was the game itself, which left me confused and frustrated.

I usually don't bother doing it. I have tons of other quests, (both from vanilla and mods) to play around with anyway.

porting like a dozen 3d games from across multiple console generations to multiple current consoles is uhhhh... kind of a lot to ask for

It’s a tall order but the idea that they haven’t brought over anything to this current generation is... maddening.

Like really, it’s insane how we didn’t even get Colors, LW, or Gens on the Switch or something. Would’ve been easy money and a good way to tide over these long ass down periods.

They seem more interested in PC porting than console 

and sega isn't even doing that well on that front...
