ThePC Port Progress Update #3 video, which can be watched below, showcases all the latest improvements made to the port in the past two months, including proper 16:9 and 60 FPS support, both unavailable in the original PlayStation release, working UI in the Adventure Garage, implemented ghosts in Time Trial and fixes VS and Battle modes.

Releasing this unofficial Crash Team Racing PC port will only be the beginning for the development team, as it plans to shift to content expansion after launch. Alongside introducing custom levels, the team plans to introduce online multiplayer, which would be huge for a racing game like this.


For some reason, Crash Bandicoot fans on PC never had the chance to try out Crash Team Racing with an official release, as even the enhanced remake Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled was not released on PC, which is a shame, as the game's formula still holds up quite well, despite some shortcoming as highlighted by Nathan in his review.


RTX Remix is a modding platform by NVIDIA, which allows modders to create stunning HD remasters of classic games (see all supported), with ray tracing and DLSS. Playing RTX mods requires a RT capable GPU. Learn more here.


I promised to show you Crash textured but ultimately it will be a video gameplay! Unfortunately, MacGivre has not had time to work on the project lately. But fortunately, Chris has worked hard on the gameplay and sent me his latest version this afternoon. I then made some adjustments of displacements and realized the editing of the video.


First of all, I want to make clear that this is only an alpha version and that many bugs are still present. The gameplay is also not definitive and some sounds have been added in post-production in order to make the whole more complete and pleasing to the ear. I hope that you will be indulgent when the various bugs that you could see during the video:


As for the playable demo I had previously mentioned, it will be available as soon as the gameplay is completely finished and the bugs corrected. It does not lack much to tell the truth, only a few crates and two or three animations of transitions. There will also be some modifications of the animations already used to make them more fluid and natural.


For upcoming information and future videos/images, I promise nothing for now because I have no idea how long it will take. Nevertheless, I will keep you informed as we progress, and I think the next article on the official website will deal with the texturing of Crash.


Im so happy this is back, it looks the most promising of any other fan project, cant wait for a demo, good luck to you and the new team, hope one day to see a full game of crash bandicoot on Pc (that doesnt need emulators).

In the game's story, an egotistical space alien by the name of Nitros Oxide comes to Earth and challenges Crash Bandicoot, his friends and foes to a racing competition before facing himself, threatening to turn the world into a concrete parking lot if he wins.


Crash Bandicoot, his friends and foes are preparing to enter a kart racing tournament. Unfortunately, a space alien named Nitros Oxide travels from far out space to Earth and offers a challenge to its inhabitants. He claims to be the fastest racer in the entire galaxy, who travels the stars looking for creatures to test his skill. Nitros Oxide challenges them to a game that he calls "Survival of the Fastest" and explains the rules: Oxide races against the best racer on Earth. If Oxide wins, he will turn the entire globe into a concrete parking lot and make Earth's inhabitants his slaves forever, but if Earth's driver wins, Oxide promises to leave the "miserable little rock" alone. He then exits his spaceship and flies down to Earth's surface, where the racers are getting ready for the tournament. Coco uses her laptop to modify her kart, while Pura rests next to her. Tiny tries to put a screw on his kart's engine, but drops it and proceeds to wreck his kart in frustration. Polar takes his time reading a book called "How to Drive", which is upside down. Dingodile unsuccessfully tries to repair his kart's engine, which blows up in his face. Doctor Neo Cortex uses some sort of ray and shoots it at his kart to improve it, while laughing maniacally. Meanwhile, Crash is fast asleep.


To race Oxide, Earth's racer needs to prove their worth by collecting all 16 Trophies (four at a time) and then race and beat Ripper Roo, Papu Papu, Komodo Joe and Pinstripe Potoroo to earn four Boss Keys. Finally, when Earth's racer has accomplished this task, Oxide challenges the driver to the race for the fate of the planet. Earth's racer is victorious, but although Oxide says that he would leave Earth alone, he declares that Earth's racer can never claim they're the fastest unless they collect all the Relics and race Oxide again.


After collecting the 20 CTR Tokens and winning the five Gem Cups, the Earth's racer confronts Oxide again with all 18 Time Relics, and this time they race for the title. In the end, the Earth's racer is the winner and is declared the fastest. Oxide admits defeat and finally leaves Earth for good; heading home to Gasmoxia, and promising to never return.


The gameplay in Crash Team Racing is very similar to other kart racing video games like Mario Kart. Here, players choose a character from the Crash Bandicoot series and they must compete against the other racers on various racetracks. During a race, drivers can pick up Power-Ups from the ? Crates and use them to wreak havoc on their opponents or aid themselves a little. There are also Fruit Crates that contain Wumpa Fruit in which collecting them makes a racer's kart go faster. And if all ten Wumpa Fruit are collected, the racer's Power-Ups will be Juiced Up, making them more powerful.


A crucial maneuver in Crash Team Racing is the Drift/Power Slide. The driver executes the slide by holding down one of the shoulder buttons to perform a controllable hop (mainly for specific jumps) and steer left or right just upon nearly landing to initiate a drifting slide that reduces their kart's traction for a corner clearing turn but steering too much during a drift/power slide causes oversteer, and the driver's kart will spin out of control briefly.


In many kart racers, drifts are normally used to clear corners and trigger a turbo boost upon releasing the drift. However, the main distinction with CTR is the ability to perform the turbos mid-drift instead of at the end of one. While drifting, a turbo meter on the lower-right corner of the screen fills up and goes from green to red. At the same time, the exhaust gas from the driver's kart turns black. Pressing the opposite free shoulder button unleashes a turbo, with another one being possible to unleash up to 2 extra times for a total of 3 turbos in a single drift (where kart racers of other kinds normally involve holding the drift for as long as possible to level up the turbo).


Drivers that drift well can execute 3 perfectly timed turbo boosts in a row mid-drift if the gauge is nearly full and in the red zone each time (green earlier turbos result in less potent turbos unleashed), with the third boost being more powerful than the previous two. If the user delays too long during the drift however to trigger a drift turbo, the kart back-fires and the rest of the drift is unable to build up anymore turbos until the driver starts up another one. Drifts can be cut short at nearly anytime if by releasing the held-down shoulder button to start another drift right away in the desired/required direction if need be.


Aside from executing drift/power slide turbo boosts, speed boosts can also be obtained by either traveling over turbo pads (each turbo pad on each course has various levels output), or gathering hang time when leaping over gaps in the track via the aforementioned hopping mechanic (which can also go into a drift upon landing if the chosen shoulder button is held down) which again is controllable to be able to angle the kart in certain ways (using the brake to turn while in midair at any point is an advanced technique that can turn corners tightly without losing any speed). The longer the player is in the air from any jump, the bigger the turbo boost will be when the kart lands, even though jumping turbos tend to have the least overall output vs. other forms.


As a result, advanced levels of play involve chaining drift boosts and all forms of other boosts wherever and whenever on the track, to "reserve" their overall output to make a singular encompassing turbo boost last as long as possible throughout a course so long as the user/driver isn't impeded by boundaries or weapons. Hopping continuously is another advanced technique that helps carry the momentum of a kart forward to keep outputting speed, along other things. While lower level races do not require as much extensive turbo stacking to build up reserves, higher level races and overall top levels of play heavily rely on stacking up turbo reserves at any given juncture.


Time Trial is a single player mode where the player races against the clock to get the best time. If the player gets a fast enough time, he/she can challenge N. Tropy's ghosts. The player has unlocked the right to race him when he says, "You think you're fast, eh? Well, let's see if you can beat my fastest time on this track!" Upon defeating all of his ghosts, N. Tropy is then unlocked as a playable character. After beating N. Tropy, the player can then challenge N. Oxide ghosts. When the player beats all of Oxide's ghosts, the player will unlock the Naughty Dog scrapbook in the main menu.


Allows the player to quickly race on a selection of tracks against a selection of opponents with up to two players. Players can race on a single track or a racing cup in which players race over four tracks for the highest total score.
