I'm really excited to see gameplay when it officially gets revealed. Massive Crash (and Spyro) fan. Can't wait! :D

Yep. Maybe it will look better when we have more to go off but really struggling to be interested in this.
As soon as a single entry does well they pivot straight to nonsense MP crap. Not interested at all.
Im not actually sure if Crash 4 did well. I dont think Activision ever talked about its sales.
It won't sell well either and they'll kill the franchise again :/
It's not though. Crash Bash is a dreadfully mediocre game held up by childhood nostalgia. Most of the game just isn't good.
SMITE was fun enough, hopefully this can be too as long as there are compelling mechanics.
I don't think there was any way to win with Crash 4. I always thought it was apparent that N Sane Trilogy mainly sold well because of nostalgia. Once the core audience had N Sane Trilogy there was no huge demand for Crash 4 outside of die hard platforming fans and kids.
If they want Crash to become a Mario for them, a character that commands sales simply for existing, I'd almost say they have to be doing stuff like this. Get the cheaper games out there while working on the bigger entries, keep the character in the conversation.

Honestly it looks like a game that will die in a week but we'll see.
edit: found it, oops I guess..
Boy that sure is a clip of a game that'd be better with more context
It's straight from this same level in Crash 4, funny enough
Crash Bash was an assortment of bland mini games that leveraged none of the original trilogy's unique aspects and instead subjected you to playing pong, pogo sticks and stuffing you in a slow moving tank, while managing to drain the life out of every character in the process. Crate Crush was the most fun, and likely because it did retain some aspect of what makes Crash, Crash.
Even in this random snippet, you can at least see an effort to translate Crash as a platformer with collectables into a multiplayer game with unique abilities tailored to their single-player counterparts. It's worlds apart from Crash Bash to me already. I'd say it's worth waiting for more context before we compare it to cash grab Crash Bash.
Crash Bandicoot has a long history in multiplayer-only titles, even in the PSX era. Them attempting another is nothing new for the franchise. By virtue of this being a multiplayer game with actual platforming and collectathon elements, it may actually the most faithful translation of the IP into a multiplayer space yet

Can I use your comment on the OP?
I asked also a mod to add leaked gameplay to the title
Sure, but I expect a full gameplay rollout later today or tomorrow. Apparently there's a build at PAX.

From what I can tell, the graphics look decent.
But is the Crash property/stable of characters deep enough for something like this to be engaging for a long period of time? This is assuming that they are running it as a GAAS.

Character wise, absolutely, especially if they pull from Spyro like they did in CTR. That game had 56 characters by the end, with about 30 of those being post launch, and the game honestly pulled from so many parts of the franchise that Ripto, a Spyro character, was probably one of if not the most glaring omission from the roster.
Interesting - I have CTR but never even played it outside of the old PS1 release; I should really jump on that.
A long history of multiplayer only games? I actually do not remember a single one. All mainline titles are obviously playable in singleplayer, so are all the Crash racing games, Crash Boom Bang and Crash Bash. What multiplayer-only game even exists so far?
