Yep. Twinsanity was already great even with the cut content. Imagine how good it would be with that stuff included.

Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled announced! (June 21, 2019. PS4/XB1/Switch)

I'm starting to think that cover art is final. I really don't like it.
I was hoping it was a Crash/Spyro trilogy cover situation, where both had "announcement" cover art which was better than most placeholders but still a placeholder, with an official reveal a couple of months out :/

Zam is just space Muttley, but Zem is outright terrible.
I'm fine with most characters, but not that. Not that. I just hope Beenox has sense enough to recognize a mistake and correct it, as is the case with Zem's... "personality"
Oh yeah, definitely. I'm on the same boat as you.
Im just saying they had some issues that prevented them to be as "memorable" as the original trilogy and team racing.
They could theoretically remake all the games post ND if they wanted to but there would be some skepticism around them.
that's great news. i don't care about skins, so basic version for me.
I'm grateful for what we're getting with Nitro-Fueled, but I also want them just to continue the franchise forward. Even without the bias against the Radical games, I think everyone sees them as a huge departure of design and gameplay philosophy of all the games that came before, so those I think they could just ignore. But if Activision is aiming for a complete new game next, they can still mix and match stuff from the post ND games and there wouldn't be anything weird imo.
If there's any desire of bringing Wrath of Cortex, TwnSanity and Tag Team Racing to modern platforms, I suppose a Rayman 3 HD treatment would be enough
Here it is; I took this picture right now (NA eShop); it's in the "Coming Soon" section

Now let's see what the switch icon will look like.

No confirmation one way or another. Like I said last page, best to assume 30.
Story wise and thematically they have as much if not more in common with the original three games than any other game in the series does. If you just put the original character designs over top of their stories, they could slot right in. Titans is Cortex re-using his original mutant army plot except he does a better job, and MoM is the logical conclusion of the N.Brio/Cortex sub plot. The original series' official publisher canon was Crash 1-3, WOC, TS, Titans and MoM.
EDIT: Should clarify: I'm not going to bat for more remakes. New content please.

Call me square, but I wasn't overly fond of the excessive self-referential humor and random wackiness of the later Crash games. I also feel like Crash himself took on a more malicious persona around the time of Twinsanity.
yeah, I know they just followed the story like nobody have changed; They even had a joke in CotT that Tiny says he wasn't invited for the last game (being TwinSanity).
I think my biggest gripe is indeed gameplay.. and not that I necessarily don't think Crash is suited for combat (heck, I'm the biggest supporter to have Crash for Smash and I though Toys for Bob made a incredible job for his moveset in Skylanders), the Titans themselves are my problem. If the Radical games were structured more like the rest of the series, I wouldn't mind the redesigns at all (I even liked a bit more the DS version of Crash of the Tians because of that)
Go ahead!
Although you may want to add it seems likely all Nitro Kart characters will be unlockable through the new story mode
If those two idiot nonentities are back in the roster and Billy West remains locked down again, I won't know what to say. The bosses in the original CNK had far more going for them than most non-Naughty Dog characters, and I would have happily thrown out the entire Team Oxide to see them playable.
I- uh- wh-
I never played Nitro Kart so this is the first I'm seeing this wretch. I'm all for completionism, but this guy could've stayed in the original.
I was already convinced to get on Switch no matter what and I wasn't expected a huge downgrade considering how good N. Sane Trilogy already looked, but these screenshots are great!
Too bad they didn't just go with the Switch version as a base make it 60fps for the other consoles.
Most ppl shit on the post naughty dog content but honestly I really liked it. I'd be so excited for. Twinsanity HD remaster or remake ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Crash Bash is literally the only good party game ever made. Hope it gets the HD treatment next.
It won't.
considering the potential sales this game will get, DLC is already being discussed internally. And from that interview that Thomas Wilson gave to Canadian Guy Eh, seemed like they would do Tag Team Racing content as well, to make this the whole racing trilogy in one package.
The preload download size for Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled is 15.05 GB according to Microsoft Store's listing. Thanks for the tip, djschxzo!

some people have guessed that if they are planning on having any new content they are more then likely gonna show it off around E3, though at that point the trophies/achievements might be known so we could learn it from them
Here's two "new" screenshots from GamesRadar's OPM interview with Thomas Wilson in the April 2019 issue
It's easy to feel a mixture of joy and trepidation when approaching any remaster. The joy of an old favourite returning clashing with the understanding that it might spoil your memory of the original; that's the effect of nostalgia for you. Still, developer Beenox is helping to alleviate our fears as it continues to lovingly craft Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled.
OPM sat down with Beenox creative director and co-studio head Thomas Wilson to discuss the upcoming kart racer, covering the studio's attempts not only to recreate what was once great but elevate for a new generation of players entirely.
Some weirdness going on with the shaders there. Cortex looks awfully glossy/metallic in the top image, as do N.Gin's eyes in the bottom one. And Dingodile doesn't seem to have a visible tail, so maybe this is an old build.
The lighting seems to be the biggest visual problem when it comes to the Crash remakes but I think it boils down to the engine they're using. It just makes things look so wonky.
Case in point:
I think it improved somewhat in CTR but it still has some kinks that need fixin'.

It is an older build, this originally came up right around the time when the Official PlayStation Magazine April 2019 issue released during the month of March, so most likely this is from the February build or earlier

Appears to be Out of Time. Looks like the anti-gravity section on the clock face has been replaced with a grounded circular turn.
I wonder if they'll have anything else interesting going on in that section, given that driving on the clock face was kind of the big set piece of the track.

Out of Time was the Nitro Kart track I was more curious to see remade. The big clock section in anti-gravity was a big part of that so I wondered how they'd change
EDIT: that was even the track they choose to put in the box art of CNK back then

Someone suggests that it's actually part of one of NK's hub zones, possibly hinting at a NK adventure mode.
The double arch and actual clock have me leaning towards Out of Time, but the skybox is similar to both, and the presence of what might be a warp pad is worth noting. But I feel like a NK adventure mode reveal would be saved for E3 or something.
