tbh, regardless of wether or not this tweet is true, it's like 99% certain a new crash game will release within the next 2 years after how successful the n.sane trilogy was

RUMOR: New Crash Bandicoot announcement inbound. Three years in development. PS5 marketing deal points to exclusivity of some kind.
- Thread starter SNRUB
- Start date

The last truly great Crash platformer 22 years ago, so we'll see about the qualities of this one.
Hopefully the segmented launch is bullshit though, as if Activision or an IP like Crash Bandicoot needed extra money by Sony to break even.

That'd be awesome, but paid timed exclusives are exhausting. That's a practice I wouldn't mind seeing go away.
That means it may contain some type of exclusivity. Crash Team Racing contained some type of exclusivity and it wasn't a timed exclusive.
- The trilogy did N.Sane numbers
- CTR did great as well and received a lot of support
Bury him.
Crash, Sly, and Ratchet outshine Knack so hard it's not even funny.
A family game to be a timed exclusive on a new ~$499 console? Eh?
Crash Trilogy made sense given PS4 had already built up a large install base, had several price drops and found a family audience before the game launched. And Switch had only been out a few months.
The climate is totally different now. It's got to be cross gen at least with a PS4 release. But like CTR, I expect it'll be multiplat with PlayStation exclusive content.
Edit: seems the timed exclusivity thing was speculation only by the OP

It is a PlayStation icon, it's a shame that IP doesn't belong to SIE.

Just for the record, I messed up by confusing "some kind of exclusivity" with "timed exclusive."
So that's my bad.

If we take the word of this person seriously it doesn't sound like a PS5 exclusive at all, more like some sort of exclusive content going by the wording.
A shit ton of Crash games came to consoles outside Playstation in the past 20 years.
I just don't see how this could be true at all. I honestly dont see what place a Crash game has in the modern gaming landscape - unless either a mobile infinite runner or... Some other type of game which doesn't fit Crash at all
Cautiously optimistic.
As long as they use the art design from the N Sane Trilogy and base music on the same leit motifs, then I can potentially even stomach a move to a Mario style Open World Action Adventure design.
My preference would be a literal Crash 4 that follows the formula the N Sane Trilogy established. But we have to be realistic. A new, non-remake in 2020 will have to do more.
I'm nervous though. It would suck to have a broken heart like Wrath of Cortex onwards again. But I don't think they'll make that mistake. They have made a work based on the original games and they liased closely with the community, so the dev team will not make the same soulless mistakes that the PS2 era devs did.

Bahahaha. A screenshot from my GOAT in a thread about a new game in my favourite platformer series. Love it.
I know that but when I think of Crash the first thing that comes to mind is the OG PlayStation.
I'm gonna say yes. People like Crash Bandicoot games.
There are few games that never got to sell at least a million copies
When i think about MGS, Tekken or Resident Evil, OG Playstation is the first thing that also comes to my mind. But these are 3rd Party franchises now. Times change.
Just about every platformer that doesn't have "Bubsy" in the title outshines Knack. It's not much of an accomplishment.
But yeah, hopefully we've seen the last of that abomination.
Always goes to og Xbox for my original experience with the series
Daxter*
But yeah 3 years either seems too long or that there is actual effort into this game.
Sounds like complete bullshit. 3 years in development and PS5 exclusive? Sony must be footing the bill because I can't see Activision ignoring current gen installbase.
Who is the source? And it would likely be a PS4/PS5 game.
Sony likes to have a family game for its console launches. If they could not prepare Ape Escape 4 or Ratchet and Clank or whatever in time for launch then I could see them paying off Activision to keep Crash off other platforms for a year. Activision is more than happy to accept Sony's money as we've seen throughout this generation.
Good point, but Crash was made by Naughty Dog it screams PlayStation :D
Hasn't he a PS icon for years. It's a shitty practice. There have now been more Crash games on other systems than exclusive to PS.
If it's anything like the trilogy apparently a large place since the remakes sold over 10 million copies.
Idk, I have no nostalgia for them and they're now some of my favorite games, so I wouldn't underestimate how well they can sell with or without nostalgia.
Dont like timed exclusivity but it makes sense being crash, cool to see another game made. I still wonder why CTR never came to pc though.
