Just like the PUBG situation. Skirting around the exclusivity and creating confusion.

Rumor: ATVI's 5-year plan for Crash includes N.Sane Trilogy on Switch/PC, New Game in 2019
- Thread starter Wrestleman
- Start date
Even if not within the next week, it will be around now and E3
This looks like the usual unintentional leak from a guy that wasn't aware of what he was allowed to share with the public, I'd say it looks pretty legit.
Yeah I agree. I'd love a new Crash game with the type of clever box puzzles in that bonus round. They now have tools at their disposal to make new levels in the classic Crash style. They already remade the old controls. I don't think we'd have to worry about the gameplay diverging too far from what's in N-Sane.
Today is next week.
Yep. I could see it in a Nintendo Direct too.
Common sense about what? Ori is a platformer, Cuphead is a run and gun, people insisted both would tank on Xbox before release and both sold well. How many freaking times people need to be proven wrong to finally drop this bullshit? There's no genre that can't have success in any of the three major platforms, good games sell everywhere
I never said it'd perform poorly on Xbox, just that it'd probably perform better on Switch.
Welcome to the last 25 years of being a Nintendo platform owner.
The feeling that a platform has to earn what should be a no-brainer is so frustrating.
Why is it wierd? its wierd that Crash is coming to a Nintento console, i think they are testning the water with the switch. Its even more wierd with Crash on Xbox.
Assuming the developers of N.sane Trilogy are working on Crash 2019, it's my hope that translating the classics to PS4 has been a learning process of what constitutes a good Crash Bandicoot game. If they can make a spiritual sequel of sorts to the originally trilogy, it might be able to wash away the bad taste of every Crash game post-Naughty Dog.
Question is, should they reuse environment themes or make new ones? The ones in WOC were alright, however everything after that are was absolute hot garbage when talking about the clash games. Art style look childish as fuck.
This nonsense really has to stop for the sake of consumers. The communication about some 3rd party (timed) exclusive deals is kindergarten level.
Do your job and be clear about the exclusivity of your product and don't annoy consumers with vague wording.
So much this.
Im even in the boat and would say tv spots should have some kind of reminder to tell consumers that game x is also available on other platforms.
Crash bandicoot is on Xbox since Crash Wrath of Cortex... there is nothing weird anymore about Crash being on Xbox. More weird would be a PC version when this franchise never released on PC. Piracy would be a big thing for it on PC.
Please avoid spreading this misinformation. It has already been discussed in this thread.
When? As far as I know Sony sold Crash but not Crash Team Racing.
It doesnt have multiplayer etc. Why spent 40 bucks when you can get it for free?
I dont see a PC release happening. Xbox for sure.
Lets hope this Activision Call on Feb 8 will reveal something
Don't start a "PC gamers pirate everything" discussion please. It's as annoying and wrong as saying people on Xbox just play shooters
I know that, Naughty Dog sold Crash but not CTR.
Now the trademark is finished so they don't own CTR anymore.
I've seen weirder things happen. Viva Pinata had a Nintendo DS game back in the day, and I recall there being a Halo prototype built for the DS too. So Microsoft have a brief history of porting its IP to Nintendo hardware, and Sony are backing Death Stranding, which is coming to PC as well as PS4.
So perhaps Activision is locked into a deal with Sony to prevent Crash from coming to Xbox, but the Switch is considered a neutral ground that can provide extra revenue? Or the Xbox One is considered such a non-player at this point in the industry it's not worth mentioning? Perhaps it's even a sign that Microsoft are rushing to faze out the Xbox One and are putting all their efforts into launching a next gen console?
Of course, chances are that this is most likely a fake. But it's still fun to speculate what this could mean.
Stuff like this gets leaked from toy stuff all the time. Sonic, for example, had a lot of leaks from toy stuff
I dont see Activision skipping a Platform that provides them with a lot of money. And Crash would be another big seller for them even on Xbox.
Wow didnt know that witcher is a platformer.
I agree, just take a look at The Witcher 3 selling only ~7 millions on PC.

I'm pretty sure the N.Sane Trilogy isn't getting ported anytime soon, much less to the Switch of all platforms. I mean, look at how Doom ended up looking on the Switch, and that was a 60FPS game on the PS4, whereas Crash is 30FPS. I mean, sure, I could be wrong, but with Sony acting as a producer on the game, I guess it could maybe be on PC someday, but definitely not on Switch/XB1.
