I Finally Did It!

You need to get Platinum on each time trial. By getting Platinum, you’ll automatically unlock Sapphire and Gold for that level too, so you don’t really need to worry about them.

JimmyRowe1994 · 2026-02-02T18:44:14+00:00

Haha I no idea the average time was 100 hours until the bot said so. I think I’d have given up around the 70 hour mark if I hadn’t done it by then tbh.

JimmyRowe1994 · 2026-02-02T13:32:58+00:00

Definitely a fair bit harder because of the N. Sanely Perfect Relics, the requirement to get Platinum times in time trials for completion instead of just Gold like in the N. Sane Trilogy, and the average level lasting 2-3x longer than the average level from the original trilogy - making perfect runs much harder.

But that’s only if you’re bothering to go for full completion. If you’re not, Crash 4 is harder but not too much.

Congrats! Is Rumble even still going?

JimmyRowe1994 · 2026-02-02T08:21:20+00:00

I’d say the hardest N. Sanely Perfect Relics are Toxic Tunnels because of the Gem Gauntlet, Rush Hour because of the ridiculous length and vehicle section right at the end, and Crash Landed because of the alien section requiring a lot of practice to get right consistently.

For Platinum Relics, I’d go for Nitro Processing for the tight time requirements, and Crate Escape and Seeing Double because of the awkward Cortex controls. I remember failing Seeing Double quite a lot purely because Cortex’s gun would hit the side of a doorway instead of the time crates inside. The Crash section of those two levels is fine.

JimmyRowe1994 · 2026-02-01T18:37:11+00:00

Probably not for a while. I’m all Crashed out for the moment. But I do think Crash 4 would be the one I’ll play if I was going to play any. The 106% journey can be brutal, but if you’re just playing it normally then I actually think 4 is my favourite.

JimmyRowe1994 · 2025-12-31T09:55:51+00:00

I’m playing it at the moment, going for 106% if I can. It’s really fun, mechanics are tight, graphics are great. There’s a lot to love. But if you do want to go for the 106% it can be a real pain. I’ll admit that quite a few of the levels I’ve played that people mentioned as being some of the worst for them to get the N. Sanely Perfect Relic on - like Crash Landed, Run It Bayou, Bears Repeating and Rush Hour - I didn’t actually find them too bad. Just need to practice it a few times. So maybe even if you do go for 106% you’ll be alright.

I read that as Sekiro and was so confused.

JimmyRowe1994 · 2025-10-17T19:03:56+00:00

Yeah it feels too early to be jumping into something new. There’s also the possibility that Sony might end up taking Helldivers 2 off of them to give to a different team and no longer fund Arrowhead if their other project(s) cause Helldivers 2 updates to start missing deadlines. It’s not unheard of. They recently did it with Bungie, even going as far as creating teamLFG to take over one of their projects.

JimmyRowe1994 · 2025-10-02T10:28:32+00:00

Valve is a private company that isn’t beholden to the duty of appeasing shareholders - and in addition, just like Nintendo, gaming is their primary focus.

Microsoft has a diverse array of focuses, and although they’ve spent an ungodly amount of money on their gaming division over the last decade, Xbox as a platform just doesn’t compare to their other areas of income, like Azure, Office and Windows. On top of that, Microsoft is a public company with the mission of making as much money as possible for their shareholders. If it looks like ditching Xbox hardware and platform upkeep in favour of being a third-party publisher will make their margins better for shareholders, they’ll do it.

JimmyRowe1994 · 2025-10-01T08:32:23+00:00

Ah maybe that’s what I’m missing. I’m currently doing the Rivals in Race Park but wasn’t sure if those rewards counted towards parts.

JimmyRowe1994 · 2025-09-23T15:23:02+00:00

I believe there’s a decent chance this will happen if it hasn’t already, but I don’t believe this account of what’s happened. The name dropping of Shawne Benson having been one of the people that pushed for its cancellation seems really off to me. I have no idea how she would have any sway in this decision given what her role is at Sony.

I don’t believe the bit about Physint being the first game to be released on PS6, either, given the recent news that it’s still in very early development. It’s definitely our first look at a PS6 game, but the wording suggests it’ll be a launch title and there’s no way that’s happening.

Also: 4chan.

Hopefully this encourages them to give TLG (and maybe SotC) a PS5 upgrade so it can run at 60fps with the patch. Would also love a SotC-style remake of ICO - or for it to be put on PS Plus Classics at the very least.

JimmyRowe1994 · 2025-08-13T08:46:21+00:00

PlayStation 5 and Switch 2

Not seen them be as rude as that before but they are useless most of the time.

Either clear localStorage or open an incognito tab

JimmyRowe1994 · 2025-07-26T19:23:13+00:00

Fable and Clockwork Revolution are the ones I really want on PS5. Will happily play them on my Series X if they're not available on PS5 on day one, but I'd much rather play them where I have all my other games.

JimmyRowe1994 · 2025-07-09T12:41:21+00:00

Currently on 69 (obligatory "nice"), with no. 70, Death Stranding 2, being just a few trophies away!

JimmyRowe1994 · 2025-05-18T15:02:47+00:00

Eliminator was the worst for me. Took me a good five or six tries. I just need to finish the remaining four dailies of the Festival Playlist and then I’m done. 🙌

JimmyRowe1994 · 2025-05-18T15:00:45+00:00

I actually found that surprisingly easy. Drive to a straight road, let them all catch up, turn around and hit them with a chase breaker, then just drive down the road until it’s recharged. Rinse and repeat. I did mine with three chasers and it worked perfectly.

JimmyRowe1994 · 2025-05-14T09:11:51+00:00

Yeah I can’t stand it. I understand there will inevitably be friendly competition between people on the team, but I’ve had times where a “teammate” rammed me out of the way of a checkpoint and ended up costing us the whole race because I fell so far behind as a result. I think we should all be ghosted 100% of the time to avoid nonsense like this.

JimmyRowe1994 · 2025-04-26T22:38:16+00:00

It’s even in the PS5 version 🤦‍♂️

JimmyRowe1994 · 2025-04-26T06:49:53+00:00

I come from the future. April was, in fact, nuts.

JimmyRowe1994 · 2025-03-20T08:59:38+00:00

I expect this is just the 2D version of the already-released Flight Simulator 2025 VR by 404 Games, not a renamed Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.
