The idea of CTR with Crash Remake visuals is just... man. Something I've wanted for ages. Day one.

Can't wait to main Fake Crash :D

If it is multiplatform (plzzzz), I hope they consider crossplay, especially as on PC the playerbase probably won't be especially large.

Then they should make a complete new entry, but iam not hopeful that activision is capable of doing a great new crash game on their own.
we don't know what this is, but i'll have very low hope if it turns out it's not a remake and doesn't uses the same gameplay. nailing the feel of kart racing is pretty hard, which is why there aren't that many good ones out there. CTR was one of the few that still is fun to play. i don't have a lot of hope in them creating something great from scratch.

Also give me MK8 DLC doritos pope, karting games are awesome!
that would be awesome, tracks based on odyssey and shit. it's crazy there hasn't been any dlc yet.

The fact that Mission Mode from the DS version hasn't ever returned is a travesty
yeah, i had a lot of fun with the mission mode of DS. i hope whenever 9 comes they really put some effort into single player content.

Its amazing how CTR still holds up today. People should play it. Track design and controls are funfuckingtastic.

Spyro as guest racer in the remake maybe? Add some more tracks maybe? I wonder who will be developing this.

Um, yes please. I haven't played CTR since the Playstation days, but I'll take a remake. Yes, please sir. May have another.

I can't wait for this. Even though MK8D is my absolute GOAT, I vastly preferred CTR to MK64. I replayed it on PS3 a couple years ago and I'm excited to play it with analog sticks now!

Dang, so the next logical step in Crash resurgence is indeed happening! Good. I've only played this once at a cousin's house long time ago. As a DKR fanboy, I'm eager to see what my PS1 folks were talking about with this game.

Don't know how to feel. I really wanted an all new platformer. And the feeling of the original CTR need to be fucking spot on for me to appreciate it i think.

People too busy complaining about if it'll be exclusive or not when the important thing is surely who would be actually handling it.

Sumo would be the masters but already have a lot on. So it'll likey be one of Activisions own teams. Kart games its important to get the feel right.

When people say this is better than Mario Kart, do they mean better than 64? Or do you actually think the PS1 CTR is better than Mario Kart 8 on Switch?

I don't see a reason for this to be PS exclusive for a year like Crash. I mean many thought Spyro would be a year exclusive as well and it wasn't.

Played a lot of CTR as a kid, but was never really good at it. Looking forward to the reveal and trying the game again next year because I'm burnt out on Mario Kart 8 until more DLC is announced.

My favorite racing game ever is getting remastered? Well, count me in! Online multiplayer with crossplay would be amazing.

Yeah I don't know what he's talking about.

CTR has the same 88 metascore as Mario Kart 8, and is rated higher than many past MK games including the almighty MK64.

Oh man, this on Switch would just make the fucking year for me(I understand it wouldn't be releasing this year).

Wow, I really hope this is happening!

As others have said earlier, the playability of CTR still holds up amazingly well to this day. They just need to bring the sights and sounds up to modern standards, add in online play, and maybe also some new character/vehicle customization options. Imagine speeding down the track with a ResetEra flag on your kart!

It better be 60fps on everything.

I agree. That needs to be a high priority for a racing game such as this.

Just realised, next year could be a good year for kart racers if Sonic Racing and CTR are released.

Also if that rumoured Starfox Racing game hits. Though I'm a bit dubious about that rumour.

Hopefully some Mario Kart DLC too.

OMG!!! Yes, totally here for it!! :) Now pretty much all the best kart/party racers are available to play on current systems aside Snowboard Kids 1 & 2... which is probably never happening ! :(

Well, this isn't 98 anymore, it can't be a remake and that's it let's call it a day.

Console wars apart, many things evolved, including content. Imagine Nintendo remaking Mario Kart 64, same game... all mighty 16 tracks and whopping 8 racers, same items... yeah that 88 metacritic woudnt hold much and Nintendo fans would burn their switches in protest.

It's rated that high because there wasn't competition on PS one on that genre, so compared to some low-tier kart racing game, CTR was beautiful and N64 was a bit like the Wii U so a lot of people missed on gems like Diddy Kong Racing (which btw has the same 88 metascore)

But CTR is definitely not better than MK8 just from a content perspective alone. lol

CTR was reviewed when it came out, not when MK8 came out.

there's a lot of potential in them fucking things up if they added characters/courses. i hope it's just the same game, but prettier (and with online multi, of course).

But it is definitely not better than MK8. lol
there's nothing to say to people who have that opinion cuz taste is subjective and all that, but yeah it's pretty funny to think someone could play both in 2018 and say CTR is better.

I'm really looking forward to seeing if this holds up. I haven't played it in at least a decade :P

This and Diddy Kong Racing were dream games back in the day. So good.

(And now to wait for Crash Bash remake.)

"The critics didn't really like this game as much as they thought, but luckily I know better." Nice.

Not better than Mario Kart 8 clearly, but it was better than Mario Kart 64 at the time.
