This too needs to be a thing. Local multiplayer needs to come back, hope they do not make the huge mistake of dropping local multiplayer for crash team racing, it would kill it for me.

You keep quoting that post but it's merely conjecture based on one part of the game's copyright information by that poster. You should look up the full copyright info for CTR and see for yourself and not be in such a hurry to frame someone else's guesswork as though it proves something.
I'm not saying Sony won't have done a deal with Activision to allow a multiplatform release or anything (They probably have), I'm just saying I'm going to buy some popcorn on the off-chance :)
I never played the original CTR, as I was a Nintendo/PC kid than a Playstation owner when I was a pup.
Is it a good game?

i didn't think it was going to end up being as successful as it became, but only because the IP was so mishandled for so many years that i thought it had became irrelevant. but it's undeniable that crash was one of the best mascots of its time. it had great games to it's name, very wholesome and didn't go for the "edgy" thing many other mascots went for, a very memorable move set, charming characters and stories, etc. i thought what happened since the PS1 days may have made people not care about him anymore, but i was obviously wrong.

You misspelled Diddy Kong Racing.
Besides, from my time with it on PS3, it definitely feels more like a DKR clone than a MK one.
But great news for more kart racers!
I never liked Crash Bash and I don't see how it would come back. I think it's one area where it cannot hold up as a party game. I tried playing it with a friend recently and some of the mini-games are just totally unfun and frustrating. I don't see Activision going back to it
Thank you both. Laggy Era is not the best to search for specific info. Then I take it as pretty good news, this could be multiplatform and that other title still would be coming.
This'll be more than a remake, right? Online play, maybe new characters and tracks, songs etc.
Also 60fps, come on.

That would be great... but, when we will get the announcement of the brand new Crash game that has been rumored for 2019?
After Crash and Spyro running at 30fps (with frame-pacing issues for Spyro) and selling incredibly great I don't see why they would take the trouble of trying to make a 60fps game, commercially speaking.
They'll give us up-resed PS1 graphics at 30fps (stable if we are lucky) and it's going to top the charts.
It was probably this.
Anyways back on topic. They should remake Crash Bash as well or atleast include CNK characters and tracks
Crossing fingers for 60 FPS as well.
I'm dying for a good kart game and I don't have a Switch. Sonic ASRT was the last great one for me.

Or you know Activision can just release this on all major platforms :)
it was a good game back then, and it has aged pretty well. i think it has aged much better than the crash platformers.
sure, why not. you can still eat the popcorn even if turns out to be multiplat
unless it won't taste as good to you if you're not eating it while overwhelmed with the joy of getting another exclusive for your system of choice :)
Yeah, thank you, I got told that before. ;) My bad, this thread is moving fast and Era, well, not so much. We'll see how it goes.
All the guy said was a new Crash game. He never specified whether it was a remake or not. This is it.
This is true. The trilogy wouldn't have even happened if Sony didn't intervene, Activision was done with the franchise as they ran it to the ground. Sony was okay with it being timed then and undoubtedly okay with it now.
If sony pays then theres nothing we can do. Just like when MS purchases a third party studio.
If that goes on then at some point the PS4 will have more remakes and remasters than new original games...
zero chance of that happening
i'm sure you will
same, it was a very meh game from memory, but i only played it two or three times. i don't expect it to the next crash game, that has to be a brand new platformer.

Everyone is entitled to opinion so here is mine: I must be a funny person because from a pure gameplay perspective I think CTR is a better game than MK8. MK8 have a big selection of excellent looking maps, big character roster, and phenomenal graphics, but the gameplay is meh. Rubberbanding is atrocious. You get punished for being on 1st place by blue shells, increased time on debuffs from lightning and blooper. You get wrecked when placed in the middle from all those items. Some map designs are questionable too. And there is no story mode and that's a huge miss opportunity. CTR karts feel better to drive and power sliding is superior to drifting in MK.
EDIT. Forgive plz :(

I spent a crazy amount of time on this back then, I remember the SP being pretty great.
This and Sonic Transformed are great on that front !

I was half joking but I really feel there are more announcements of remasters from Sony than new original games lately. It maybe better if they space the releases out a bit more.
And CTR especially seems like an odd choice considering how far Mario Kart has developed since then. It may have been better to make a completely new CTR entry, but I reserve my final judgement until we actual see something from the game.
...you think the trilogy had up-rezzed ps1 graphics?
what makes you think sony is going to pay for this? and why would activision agree to make an exclusive entry in their newly-successful multiplat series when they can just make a multiplat game on their own?
I hope I'm not late on the Windows Central one, they noted something interesting (akin to Spyro's Egg tease):
Truth.
Mario Kart at no point in time has ever eclipsed CTR from a mechanical stand point. Sliding, Boosting and kart response blow mario kart out of the water, same goes for DKR which I absolutely love. This isn't even taking into consideration the rubber-banding.
CTR > DKR > Sonic Racing >>>> any Mario Kart.
Huh? It didn't reach PS4 levels of sales but to say that is wrong. The ports sold well and was on top of the charts for weeks.
Yeah this doesnt sound good. As someone who loves CTR, CNK was a big disappointment. Hope they will be able to nail the controls and feel of the original.
