Hello everyone,
We are pleased to announce the release of the Trial version and Patch for Crash Commando. We have been listening attentively to our loyal fanbase and have been improving the game in as many areas as we can.
For those of you who have not been brave enough to buy the game (what!! after our excellent reviews??) then now you can try a level in the single player offline mode. Just be aware, to get the most out of the game you need to go out and get online and frag everyone out there!!! But nevertheless we are sure that you will really enjoy it
Here is a list of all the improvements we have made to the game:
- Home Game Launching Support
- BGM, custom soundtrack functionality
- Team auto balance
- Increased auto balancing intervals
- Rankings
- Added a Friends filter
- Added Country flags
- Matchmaking
- Added Country flags on found games
- Improved matchmaking game-browsing functionality
- Match details now displayed when selecting a game, so the player knows more of a game before choosing to join
- Player knows more details of a game before choosing to join
- Game play & UI enhancements
- OSD icons are now pointing towards players carrying blocks in Espionage
- We now show icons for players with enabled mics
- We now display player ID labels when using the turret gun
- We now show health icons above team members
- Only team members with less than 100% health have the icon
- Only visible to team members equipped with the CAB
- We now show hostile mines
- Red flashing light turns on when activated
- “Blip” sound when in vicinity with volume increasing when the player gets closer to the mine
- Includes enemy mines and mines placed by the player
- The killed & suicide messages display icons instead of (“KILLED”,”DIED.”)
- Players can now see which weapon or vehicle that was used
- We now show icons for when the player is speaking
- Ingame next to ID label
- Lobby next to player slot
- We now show icons for when you are taunting other players
- Symbol above player ID label
- Aimline/aiming improvements
- Prevents vehicle aimline to go beyond aim limits to better illustrate where a vehicle can aim
- Voice Chat enabled by default
In the near future you can look forward to some all-new exciting downloadable content and game modes. We appreciate your support and feedback.
Thanks for playing.

How does home launching work? I tried it last night and could not see any games available for launching in home, from the menu pad.

Game launching should be visible in the PDA for supported games, just make sure you have the game on your PS3 hard drive (good place to start
)
The number of games that support game launching is on the increase: just last week Insomniac added game launching to Resistance 2.

Ah cool! i read this on the US PSBlog but its good to know us EU people are getting a demo too!
I was interested in crash commando but a game which was heavily multiplayer based isn’t something I would play unless my mates were interested in as well. Guess I’ll see how good it is tonight!

Great! This is such a good game! And the creators are a cool bunch too! Hopefully this will start another wave of purchases, this game really deserves it!

I hate trial versions, I can happily ignore a game if there isn’t a demo but once I’ve got into them, thats another dent in my wallet!

“For those of you who have not been brave enough to buy the game (what!! after our excellent reviews??)”
Good to finally see a new demo, ’cause after the abomination called Pain I’m not willing to buy anything on PSN without a demo. How ignorant and dumb can a developer be to even expect people to spend money on their games when they can’t try before they buy and also can’t re-sell the game if it turns out to be sh**?

Massively underpopulated game, which is a shame because it’s an absolute riot!
Hopefully this will get a few more players online for me to massacre ;o)

Awesome patch!
But Crash Commando is not showing up on my PDA..
I have the game on my Hard drive, which I have used today and updated to the latest version, but Home does not show it.
Any ideas please?

Yeah, the home launching functionality will go live this Thursday (June 4th). Sorry for the confusion!

Hi there, I am trying to get the trophy:
CRASH AND CONQUER – Win 20 online games
But I am stuggling to achieve it. I am sure I have won more than 20 online games by now, and is there a way to check this?
i.e is there an option in the player profile to view online games won?
Also when it says win 20 online games does that mean win 20 rounds?
Thanks,
Elliot
Im loving this blog!
Posted on 1 June, 2009 at 10:53 am by Olof Gustafsson
Hey man, no there’s no way to check your progress I’m afraid but here’s how it works anyway.
To get a “win” in this case you need to either win a deathmatch round or be the top scorer on the winning team in team games.
And yeah, it’s rounds, not matches.
Stay at it!
