I believe the Crash games are still charting in the U.K. So glad that the trilogy is a hit. So many naysayers prior to release.
It's not incorrect at all to say that N. Sane Trilogy did better on PS4 than on the other consoles, and that's what the post you're quoting says.
all three versions with physical releases (ps4, xbo. switch) have been consistently doing great in the uk chart. the switch/xbo release actually bumped the ps4 version as well, probably because of new advertising.
I mean...when's the last time you played Diddy Kong Racing? I liked that game as much as the next person, and do think it holds a ton of merit to this day, but in no way does it play better than Mario Kart 8 "from a mechanical standpoint". That game is incredibly hard to go back to.
I can't speak to CTR as I've never played it.
I hope I'm not late on the Windows Central one, they noted something interesting (akin to Spyro's Egg tease):
oh they sent it to windows central, sony exclusivity confirmed
What he ment with that is that because Crash sold better on PS4 it still a good choice for Activision to make a permanent PS4 exclusive, and I disagree with that, it's still at minimum half the potential sales.
yep, they'd be missing out on a lot of potential sales by going exclusive again, plus it's just bad business to bring a series back from the dead, make it multiplat, make it very successful, and then go back to exclusivity.
True, but
True but sony having the insane trilogy did ablsoute wonders in bringing back the crash fans to playstation. Its probably why they made that one timed. That was the one to get for the return of El Crash Bandicoot. They probably don't need to make another timed deal. The hard core crash fans bought ps4s already so its not usefull to make CTR timed.
Sorry, should clarify my point in regards to mechanics as it relates only to crash team racing. I have no doubt, and I can attest to this as I own MK7, that time has moved forward for the MK series so it is in fact superior to DKR from a mechanical perspective but not as a an overall package, which my rankings were trying to convey.
Story Mode, gameplay variety, responsiveness, sound mechanical fundamentals (control, drift, boost) and more bring CTR, DKR and Sonic Racing to slightly higher tier than MK, which to me feels like it relies far too much on item probability wonkiness to create an exciting race instead of sound gameplay concepts. It is just a preference, but I can see why others may disagree, as they may enjoy that sort of racing and gameplay while I do not.
As to your question I played DKR about two years ago now, and Sonic Sega All Stars Racing again this year.
I played that game like crazy with my brother back in the day. The 2-player campaign was so much fun and really challenging at times. I need a remake :'(
Yep, don't sleep on Crash Bash. That was some good fun back in the day too. Something simple and nice.
I think they should remake it, just price it accordingly. I would be in if it landed in the $15 to $25 bracket. A higher price I do not think is really justified.
My thoughts exactly.
Haven't picked up Spyro yet for that very reason.
I think the sense of adventure in these games (including CTR) was the one thing that made them so good, at least for me. They really feel fun to play just because of that
If any Crash game deserves a remake it's Twinsanity. But they would have to actually finish the game and add all the planned/cut content and fix all the bugs.
That game was really funny and I would've liked to see their full vision.
I come back to it every now and again, and I still enjoy it. The difficulty can get crazy though, but the minigames are a lot of fun imo (at least when playing with another player).
Ah, fair enough.
I suppose I can agree that Mario Kart definitely prioritizes wonky races/item randomness instead of solid racing gameplay concepts - but as you said, others (like myself) enjoy that. I haven't played CTR, and maybe I'd enjoy that more - but the sort of crazy, randomness of Mario Kart is really what I like about it. It's like cranking a slot machine at the beginning of each race and you just gotta hang on and fuck around. I treat it less like a racing game and more like a party game, if that makes sense.
I can understand that viewpoint though. I should really give CTR a try.
I meant no such thing, I merely corrected something which was wrong.
CTR still holds on his own against most of kart racing games, even in 2018. Is still that good.
There was an user itt asking for a new CTR, and, unless is made by people close to the original, i don't want it. Crash Nitro Kart is not only slow, but also boring. Didn't like it at all

They're orange and they're fuzzy dice, and people hang fuzzy dice on their rear view mirrors. Crash himself does it in one of the original CTR advertisements, IIRC. There's not much to it in terms of fanservice like with the Spyro egg.
Is it reasonable to hope for online ? I don't have a fun racer to come back to since I dropped MK8 (unwillingly).
Great news anyway.
Great news anyway.
I'm not sure if you just don't know about them, or you're not counting them because they're literally not CTR 2, but there was Crash Nitro Kart, and Crash Tag Team Racing.
Nitro Kart was essentially a direct sequel... just not as good.
Also I don't think having a sequel would be relevant to it being good or not anyway.
I see, so the chance it is CTR is highly likely then. Seems like I'll have to bounce early from my drinking night with friends from work and catch TGA live.
i don't think it'll be timed this time. as someone said, maybe activision can give sony something by having the ps4 version include some exclusive content.
Vicarious Visions has been hiring for network engineers for a non-Destiny project for a while now.

Honestly, I've not played CNK in over a decade. Is it really a big downgrade?
I know that earlier builds of N. Sane Trilogy apparently used a modified version of the Nitro Kart engine so I imagine they might just use it again for development of this.
Thats some alternate way of saying Crash on PS4 alone did incredible well and easily outsold all other versions combined.
that's a weird way to read my post. did i say the ps4 version wasn't a success?
also i'd like a source on the outsold combined thing.
I'm sure it will be 60fps on PC :^)
nobody wants this
