tony hawk pro skater 1+2 remaster, and they're most likely assisting on this as well.
Next gen SSDs could've fixed this bad boys load times. why Activision??!! WHYYYY
Fun fact: those "load times" existed because there was supposed to be a mini game played between levels, which had to be removed late in development but the delay introduced for it wasn't - so during the 40 seconds or so of "loading" the game literally isn't doing anything but artificially waiting around for no reason - the level is already loaded up within the first 5-10 seconds of that screen. The Greatest Hits versions fixed the bug and the loading screen is significantly shorter.
That's astonishing. Do you happen to know what sort of mini-game it was? I'm hard pressed to think of something that would justify wasting so much time.
I really hope it sticks to the closed corridor platforming of 1-3. Please! I like a 3D platformer as much as the next person but I prefer Crash to stick to its roots.
Of the N.Sane Trilogy, does it perform best (for consoles) on Xbox One X?

It's a shame if there are no PS5/XSX ports as really want to play this at 60fps, and we'll probably be waiting 12 months for a PC version like we did with Crash Trilogy and Spyro.
I'm guessing being numbered will mean that it'll be very much in the style and structure of the original trilogy. So no need to worry about open world Crash, hopefully.

native 4K on the X, 1440p on the pro, 30 fps on all consoles
Read the bottom of the box, it also says: "Xbox One game playable on Xbox Series X". It's only taking about BC which, as we already know, is also gonna be available with the PS4 version.
Yeah, I imagine level designers, composers and whatnot are probably assisting with this, since they won't be needed on THPS 1+2.

Not sure. The studio's former director did a Q&A about it a while ago on his youtube channel GameHut, I think they had to remove the minigame because of that silly Namco patent. But why the game needed a mini game that took up so much extra time during loading screens I'm not sure.
Wow, that's some leak: boxart and synopsis, no less. Hope they were planning on showing some gameplay on that announcement on the 22nd because everything else will already be known.
Anyway, really pumped about this. I really enjoyed the trilogy and it will be really fun to play a new Crash done from the ground up. Hope the same ends up happenning with Spyro.

It's a fun idea and a shame that the Namco patent blocks everyone else from doing something creative with it, especially when they're not using their patent very well for the most part. But from your description going out of the way to lengthen the load screen duration seems cruel, unless they had a particularly amusing or engaging min-game concept.
All I've wanted from Crash's return is a brand new sequel to the original trilogy, done in the exact style of those games. Linear levels, multiple worlds, a boss at the end of each - I cannot wait to see how this looks and which bosses they choose. Bring back Ripper Roo!
I originally thought this was just a new look but maybe time fuckery leads to a timeline where Crash never saved her and she got Vortexed.From the leaked merch it sure seems like she will be.
Yeah, that's the branding Microsoft is going to be using for all Xbox One games going forward. It's just a regular Xbox One game.
Bet it will also come on Switch later, would be weird not to especially since this isn't a next gen title.
yeah. it's most likely that the dev is focussed on getting the ps4/x1 versions out, with them or another studio then porting the game to switch/pc. i wouldn't be too worried about a switch version, it just sucks that it's not ready for launch.
Like I said in the other thread, it would be amazing if both Crash and Ratchet released near each other and had dimension jumping as part of their gameplay.
Although "It's About Time" is probably based on the PS4 first.
Yes im very excited for Crash to be getting a sequel, but This sucks for us Switch fans meaning we will have to wait a year to play this
Had hoped for this too but I'll be cautiously optimistic for a new numbered entry.

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOO
4 is blowing my mind, I genuinely never thought we'd see another numbered Crash game again. So hyped.

Announcement on Monday morning and available at Monday afternoon confirmed.
Hard to get excited about this. Even if it was VV, we only have one level as proof that they can actually come up with great Crash platforming levels. We got no proof for Toys for Bob, even if the Spyro remake was good. Remaining cautiously weary would be wise.
Funny that Activision is admitting all their past Crash games sucked by numbering this lol.
