Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled Developers React to 47 Minute Speedrun

Hey you're 32 now, how you doin man?

[@iTheDashy]

Keronari is a fantastic player, and has improved his time by about 30 seconds since this run. He's a very chill guy and explains a lot of the little things going on in the run, so if anyone is interested in hearing about the finer details of this speedrun, I would highly suggest checking him out, however I can comment about some of the questions brought up in the video: The two timers on the bottom left: the bottom one times the run real-time (with loads, referred to as RTA), and the top one is using a load remover, which detects loading screens and pauses the timer during loads (if not for this, the release patch of this game would be the only speedrun viable version, as the loading screens get a few seconds longer with every new patch. RTA loses almost 4 whole minutes compared to release patch from loads) Him hitting the TNTs in Roo's Tubes is intentional, hitting a TNT midair while on a downhill will preserver downhill momentum. The pause before entering the last hub world is because the hub hasn't loaded yet. the timer blocks it, but at the bottom left there's the "loading..." text, and you can not move until it goes away. This is referred to as "The Citadel Load," and we manually remove this time from the run, as it is a variable loading screen as well. Not mentioned is the part where Kero is losing and gaining multiple seconds on the "Enter Track" splits. This is caused by Podium RNG. After winning the race, there's 3 different camera panning angles you can get, which is completely random. The slowest camera pan loses over 3 seconds compared to the fastest one. There are 16 podiums in the run, so if you're really unlucky, you could lose well over 45 seconds just from podium RNG. Last but not least, I can definitely speak from the entire speedrunning community: PLEASE implement that "Speedrun Mode" idea, where cutscenes (and hopefully victory podiums) are automatically skipped, and an in-game timer is implemented. outside of the Podium RNG mentioned above, Speedrunning this game is kind of hard to get into because the load remover is an extra thing people have to set up on their PC while capturing the game. If the game had its own in-game timer, like Spyro: Reignited Trilogy, speedrunning would be much more accessible for people that are interested. Thank you for showing interest in our community!

[@cmpork7145]

To this day it's amazing that in a era littered with cutting corners and greed, CTR NF provided a game jam packed with content, was faithful to the original while adding new life in a way almost universally accepted by its fans, sold at a price cheaper than its contenders and has been consistently adding dlc without charging an extra dime. The only form of micro transactions is the option to buy in game currency and even then that affects the game in no way and the additional characters can be unlocked without spending extra. I'm not saying every developer has to be exactly like them but the industry would be less toxic if more developers took a page or two from this wonderful game

[@Mat-hr1dg]

It literally has a 54 on Metacritics user score because they added microtransactions after the release.... Ever thought that might have something to do with it?

[@thebear8326]

@@Mat-hr1dg No, it doesn't! Activision decided it was best to insert MTX, and my guess it's so the people that have less time to play have an alternative way to earn the content in the Pit Stop. You clearly haven't played the game, which is frustrating because you wouldn't be saying this if you had the game.

[@selder_7]

Nah they added microtransactions to the game after initial reviews and sales and before the warning labels could be added to physical copies in a game that’s rather PEGI 3 in Europe, that’s really shady. And the coin amounts you earn are deliberately low to push you towards the microtransactions which are absolutely terrible value anyway

[@Pear_chan]

There is an easy way around this if you play on PS4 with analog. Go to Settings -> Accessibility Settings -> Customized Button inputs. Change either L2 or R2 to D-pad down. You can now U-turn by pressing Square+Shoulder button, whichever you decided to remap. This method lets you perfectly U-turn on analog independent of the direction you have the stick in.

On the off chance the devs are around in this comments section, you guys did an amazing job with this game. I was 5 years old in 1999, and the original CTR was one of the first games I ever played. My parents split up around a year earlier, so I was going through a really difficult time, and I wasn't seeing my dad much at all. By the time this game came out, my little sister and I would spend weekends at his place, and we'd all sit on the couch and pass the controller back and forth, trying our best to beat the game one stage at a time. To be honest, I had almost forgotten those times, even though they were some of the happiest experiences I had during a very rough period, so I blocked a lot of that time out. But you guys brought all those happy memories flooding back the second I played Nitro-Fuelled. Yes I know there are controversies around the title, but in those moments of just pure racing gameplay goodness, the feeling and experience of playing the game is spot on. CTR goes beyond nostalgia for me, it's a game that actually means something, and I'd hazard to say that it was the title that kicked off my life-long obsession with gaming.

can we have a series where "Devs Speed run their games" we can get devs to attempt speed run mechanics they see from when doing these episodes

[@kaneda7368]

I don't think that'd be as interesting. What I like about these reaction videos is the dev's disbelief at the exploits or skips they didn't know could be done. There's something charming about looking at people who made something not realizing how much stuff there is in the game. A dev speed run after a dev reacts to a speedrun would be a more boring, slower speedrun because nothing is a surprise and the person doing the speedrun isn't as skillful as the speedrunners. That's just me though.

The Devs say they are going to out their best times ghost for each track up. I'm willing to bet it won't be anywhere near this monstrosity however

Dev vs speedrunner race series

[@anthonysaladrigas4319]

This has been the best review so far. The devs actually play their game and are impressed with the speed runner. No complaints from the devs, all praises.

[@poans8430]

Devs time trials will be interesting to beat

[@benhughes3394]

[@Blazingwheel]

Devs should be proud, this is all you could want with a remastered game, it's perfect.

[@redbool1115]

[@jooaquin]

Thanks for this game! When I played it I feel like I was playing the original game when I was a kid. I also enjoyed every detail you added we do look at them an have noticed the fantastic amount of work put on it! Great remake thanks

Devs:"And here's the first boss uh Rilla Roo" Ripper Roo:"Am I a joke to you"

[@VintageBalderdash]

I'm glad he gave a shout-out to the Australian firefighters, as I thought about using the firefighter Dingodile skin as a gesture of solidarity. I'm sure I'm not the only one, but I'm still glad I heard someone say it.

Watching the speedrun: -Hey, I can do it Playing the game: -I can't do it
