But Crash can only be good on a Playstation console, is that so hard to understand?
/s
Am I understanding right that you're saying a different rumor existed in the past, which is why this one is basically confirmed? I want to be respectful, but I think you want something to be true, which is fine, but you're not making sense.
But Sonic's sales have been dwindling over the years with each new game selling worse than the last. Mania apparently is a best seller and one of the highest rated Sonic games in YEARS.
And Crash managed to sell about 3.5 million last year on just one console and is still on the charts. If Crash can do that alone on the PS4, then he can certainly sell just as well on the Switch or PC. Maybe not on the same caliber of PS4 sales but it'll do fine regardless. If the quality of a new game is there, lives up to the hype and gets word of mouth, it'll do great.
Uhm so far nothing is confirmed. And the Xbox version still isnt ruled out until Activision finally says something.
Because Activision wouldn't skip releasing it on Xbox for no reason. Because the specs on the XB1 allow for a less pared-down port. Because since 2002 Activision has released its marquee multiplatform titles on Xbox as well as other consoles. There's no rhyme or reason to think they'd skip XB1 for the N. Sanity Collection, save for believing a baseless leak.
Agree.
Instead of everyone getting salty, we should just wait at this point.
But im in the same boat like a lot of other folks already said. I dont see Activision skipping Xbox. No reason to.
True, but I do think it's odd that Activision would leave it out.
However, Switch and PC are more "surprising" I guess, and both are way different from PS4 whereas Xbox basically gives you the same experience.
Mania and N.Sane Trilogy are successful because they were a return to form for the franchises - a return to what people liked about them in the first place.
What do most people like about Crash? The charm from the original games and the silly marketing. Both of those things were covered under Playstation's wing. Crash is heavily tied to those times when he was exclusive to PlayStation.
Crash doesn't have his own platform to stand on. A lot of his games just weren't any good when he went multiplatform. Maybe we just need better developers, but Activision needs to tackle this issue with their 5-year plan, or history will repeat itself and sales will decline again.

Sales for Crash may have declined from the PS1 megahit era, but they were never bad. From all accounts I have even the "hated" ones at the end of the original series canon were 1M+ sellers on definitely-not-huge budgets (Titans, at least I know for sure). Quality of the games is subjective. Their metacritic scores are far from horrifying. Except Boom, Bang, but that's super trash, yes.

I doubt that Sony has the money to basicly pay Activision for the loss of potentional sales on another platform.
Some folks really have to stop with this "Sony did that and that" conspiracy theories. But anyway, such stuff is very very anti consumer and should be called out asap.
And no one should be happy about such thigns happening.
3rd Party exclusives are the most stupid thing ever happening in the gaming industry.
How
How is a console with a 30+ million install base not worth mentioning? I've never seen bias like the Xbox One has to endure in the industry before. It's crazy.
Without Sony we probably never would have even gotten the remasters. Crash fans kept asking and asking for a decade. Sony was smart and with their partnership with Activision it allowed the games to be brought back. I may Ben wrong but I think Vicarious Visions even said the same. Sony came forward and asked to bring it back.
I think they were on the right track with Twinsanity (one of my favorite Crash games actually), but they didn't capitalize on that.
I was talking about the main game :P
Just because it wasn't rumored for Xbox it doesn't mean it won't come at all.
If the game is going multiplatform it doesn't make sense to port it everywhere but Xbox... of all things
I think even the two titan games are solid titles that would be more accepted if they weren't Crash. Absolutely not anything special, but not as terrible as some would lead you to believe.
It's comical to see grown men get upset because a game on their favorite console is releasing on another. LMAO guys. JFC.

Speaking as a huge Crash fan, Titans and Mind Over Mutant, writing-wise and story-wise, are some of the fanserviciest ones. They're no more "not Crash" to me than say, any of the spin-off games are. To me, they're just Crash in a different genre, like CTR or Bash, etc. And as you said, mechanically, they are solid, fun games. Titans in co-op is one of my favorite Crashes.
I just remember some threads
WHO WHANT'S CRASH, IT'S NOT GONNA SELL etc . good times :)
Should the thread title be updated referencing that Eurogamer has seemingly heard the same from their own sources that the Trilogy is Switch and PC-bound?
I'd assume it's more likely that since the licensing company is European they probably just haven't been proactive with the Xbox One. I doubt it would skip that system. The port is just way too easy.
Okay right, i didn't have a clue of what happened during the development of that game.
That being said, it should NEVER be a design choice. It's a poor choice, and i will say it : It's bullshit :)
And if they just want to "be like the original game" (why remake it then ?), then give us the choice in the settings.
This is Activision of course will come everybody knows that. It was exclusive because of Sony bringing the idea and maybe put some funding to be timed. Other than that good to see Crash trying to make a comeback.
And we should believe you because?
Am i missing something?
Activision, like Nintendo, has a meeting thing tomorrow. Usually some stuff gets announced.
If you are telling the true, you should let a mod verify you.
Activision Blizzard will be making a conference call for their earnings report at 4:30PM EST and since this is Q4, they're expected to at least make some announcements for the year 2018 and some news regarding profits from the whole year and Q4.
Here's a link that you can bookmark for later
No need for that, he's just talking about the Q4 Earnings Report.

That article is really pretentious. I hate when writers feel the need to let you know they'd really rather not be reporting on this terrible awful game they hate, but it's their jooooob.
Yup. Useless editorializing.
Yup. Useless editorializing.
It's funny how the article was clearly written by someone who's firmly in the "Crash was never good" camp.
AKA Camp Wrong.
So is it basically confirmed at this point, because I think it's basically confirmed at this point.
and I'm here to say "no shit, sherlock"
Agreed
People on the net lost it when RE5 or FF13 got announced for the 360. It's happening again!
