I don't need anymore convincing on how much I want this game.

But here's some more gameplay footage (Youtube)

I'm really glad how true to the game they've kept it. same can't be said for when I saw what nintendo did with Donkey Kong, or what happened with Spyro the Dragon.

Did anyone order it online? I ordered mine with GAME, notification yesterday saying it's been dispatched Royal Mail 1st class. Rather concerned as the postman has already been round!!

Has anybody got it? What do they think?

Asking as the last remake I brought from the 90's was Resident Evil and I couldn't for the life of me get back into it as the controls where so bad and slow, even though it was brilliant back in the day.

Is the new Crash remake ready for the new consoles?

I have and it's great. It plays just like the originals.

The thing about old resi is that the tank controls were part of what added to the suspense/difficulty, I think they do have an update now on the HD remastered version that allows you do move around in a more normal way using the joystick.

It mentions the controls, saying that the original PS1 game was released before the dual shock controller with the thumbsticks was released, so they added the thumbsticks control into the game for PS4.

yes, the controls are exactly the same except you can choose to use the D-pad or the stick, both are active/always on so you can switch between them if you want. From the first 5 or so levels I've played I've used the analouge stick. I wanted to use the d-pad but it feels odd to me as the d-pad is softer to press then the original PS1 controller.

I went and got it and wow its frustratingly hard. Iv only started the first one so far and im about 32%. I have had to turn it off and have a break for a while because its making me angry lol.

The first is the hardest one to be fair.

So annoying, 8 can’t find a copy anywhere and don’t want the digital download. Amazon have it although a few pound more than all other shops, any suggestions?

good grief, the game is £48 on amazon!! it's sold out with GAME (where i bought it, as it came with a free aku aku keyring). the game is the no1 selling game for the 2nd week running now, so it's no suprise it's out of stock.

keep an eye on this place. they're sold out but sell for £29.85. i think when amazon was doing pre-order it was priced at £27.99

This game is HARD

Is it dirt rally hard or just hard?

some levels are easy some of them are hard. you might find some levels you die 1-3 times, the harder ones might be 30+ times. it's a 90s game after all.

I have just finished Crash 2 today.

I have to say as somebody mentioned before that after Crash 1 it gets easier. Im just at the boss on the second level on Crash 3 and have 17 lives. I have not had more then 6 or 7 lives since I started this game.

that was me. I'm yet to play the 2nd, I'm putting it off until I do everything on 1 first.

So far I've gotten the 2 secret level keys and all gems except for slippery climb and the levels that require it's gem. Coming back to high road earlier today in order to get it's gem it didnt seem so hard. It's all about getting the gem for 'Castle Machinery because it gives access to an area that gives you about 30 lives. you can close the game and load it up again if you want to keep getting more.

The first Crash was hard enough just to finish the level, I am not going to revisit the levels for gems lol. Good look though.

I thought so too when playing it. but after a while you kind of need to trust that there's a perfect cycle that essentially allows you to near enough plow through the level without stopping/slowing down.
