Holy crap, it looks great.
I'm really looking forward to this (surprise, surprise!). From what I've seen so far Beenox is really putting a lot of passion into this project and there's no doubt that this will be just as well received as N. Sane Trilogy was. Well done.

I hate to be prematurely hyped based on gameplay footage alone, but the kart handling looks really solid so far.
As an aside, the way the video-narrator describes "power sliding" seems out of touch with how Mario Kart actually works. The most recent one -- MK8 Deluxe -- introduced a third level of charge to your "drift boost" and operates in the exact same way as IGN describes power sliding here. If anything, MK8 emphasizes drift-boosting more.
Anyway, looking forward to this. We need more kart racers so I hope this one can rise to the occasion.

So excited to have the king back. Looks fantastic with a fresh coat of paint. Even at 30fps ( which is a shame ), this still pisses over any MK/DK racer Nintendo has put out.
They all lack that rewarding feeling you get from mastering the games mechanics, whereas CTR fucking nails it.

Best Kart Racer, LET'S GO! Can't wait.

We ain't outta here in ten minutes, we won't need no rocket to fly through space
Not confirmed, but I can't see why not, even if it's later than the others. 1-3 were ported.

Looks pretty. Glad to hear controls seem to be on par with the original, that was the thing that worried me the most.

can this be 1 to 1 if they used zero source code? i dunno how they can remake from scratch the ai/turning/boosting/damage/etc required perfectly.

Yeah, I highly doubt the control and feel will be as tight as the original. But I’m looking forward to trying this out.

You want a PlayStation Vita?
I do not get how they state in the video the game is very fast, when it looks extremely slow actually.

There's something about the visuals that doesn't click with me. I still don't think this looks as good as something like Mario Kart 8. I can't put my finger on it but maybe it's the art style having a touch of realism in it? Maybe it ends up being not realistic and not cartoony enough at the same time and lingers in between? Or maybe the track design isn't as eventful or interesting?
I don't know but it just looks meh artistically to me. Almost like an indie Unity project.

Proportion and crap designers without references. It's also the problem of the latest Crash (after 4), the remake and now the racer.
The original Crash Bandicoot designers at Naughty Dog were heavily inspired by early 90s sarcastic ACME cartoons, in fact the whole series is even inspired by the early 90s psych exotica-revival, and back then they had talented designer who knew proportion, dynamic, colorimetric and line rules.
The problem with these newer games is that the designers don't seem to have neither the talent or taste to have spotted that, and that's why like many people you've probably spotted this je-ne-sais-quoi.
Mario Kart on the other is Nintendo and if there's something Nintendo has maintained over the years, it's its excellency and craftmanship in game design.

Looks amazing, but this is my only problem with all the Crash and Spyro remakes....They should all be 60fps.....
Yet, I will buy it and this will sell like hotcakes, hopefully we get 60fps BC on PS5....

Can't wait, need my kart fix.
Recently finished the three platinums in the Crash trilogy and moving onto Spyro. Nice these were done well by Activision.

Perhaps it’s one of the karts? The Crash Banger Kart!?!Yeah I don't really know why they're equating the game to a cumberland sausage either.

The fact they deliberately make/lock these at 30 just because the originals were also 30 is beyond dumb.
Then again in the case of Spyro I would have been happy with a solid 30, it failed at even that with its frame pacing issues.

30fps is okay for an imprecise item based kart racer. Shouldn't be though, they could have done 60fps easy and it would feel much better to play. Oh well.

Is it gonna have a great pricing, like the CB N. Sane Trilogy? Day one, if so, and I assume it will. Too bad the Spyro The Dragon trilogy wasn't all physical, made it way too easy to pass on it (sure, maybe Switch could use an available space excuse, but PS4 and others having not all three games on disc made it a hard pass).
