Rumor: Merchandising company says 5-year plan for Crash Bandicoot, includes N. Sane Trilogy port

Port of Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy to new platforms and new Crash game rumored to be on the way.

[SoulWarrior]

Definitely open to more Crash games, but only if Activision do it right, no lootboxes or tacked on MP.

See the trilogy is rumoured for the PC/Switch, pretty interesting though I got the platinum for all 3 on PS4 and played them to death after so not sure I would double dip on either version hmm.

[IamTylerDurden1]

Hopefully a Spyro remake gets announced for PlayStation.

[Relientk77]

I'm banking on this and want it so bad.

[Mista2018]

Wait. IF they put Crash Team Racing, then hell yeah I want online multiplayer. But only for that game. Or that Crash Party game too. But never for the action/adventure game.

[XiNatsuDragnel]

Excellent

[Vegamyster]

A new Crash would be great, a PC/Switch port would be nice if true.

[FallenAngel1984]

Argh these rumors return

[FlyingFoxy]

Even though my PC would show this game in the best graphics, I'd end up getting it for Switch most likely.. for some reason I've never been that big a fan on platformers on the PC.

[_-EDMIX-_]

I feel with a Platformers the comfortability of the control is key.

This would do very good on the Nintendo switch in terms of that audience.

[DwightSchrute01]

Agreed, I think it will do very good on the switch due to its hardcore gaming audience.

[_-EDMIX-_]

@Dwight- "due to its hardcore gaming audience" I wouldn't say all that, look at Doom and Skyrim sales on Switch..just saying.

Platformers make sense on a system with one of the best selling Platformers, so I'd say they will do well based on that audience.

[Concertoine]

Crash Bandicoot is a hardcore platformer

Hardcore platformers sell very well on Nintendo platforms.

[_-EDMIX-_]

@Concertoine- agreed

[SegaGamer]

"or some reason I've never been that big a fan on platformers on the PC"

Why, what difference does it make when compared to consoles?

[Weeblordbad]

Some people don't have controllers hooked up to their gaming PC. I certainly don't.

[FlyingFoxy]

It's probably because i use a KB & mouse for most gaming, while i can use them for platformers i don't think it's ideally suited to that type of game. Plus if one already owns a Switch then it's just easier because of the portability etc.. I guess.

[ziggurcat]

A merchandising company is not an authority on a game’s release schedule. If activision has not said anything by now, then it’s probably not coming to other platforms.

[Newmanator]

If that's the case why didn't the Crash box art have "Exclusively on PlayStation"? Every other true exclusive does...

[ziggurcat]

We would have known months before the release of this game when it would be on other platforms. 6 months after release, and still nothing means it is more than likely not coming to other platforms.

[Newmanator]

Y

[Newmanator]

Ziggurcat let's revisit this, it is probably a 1 year deal. There isn't any reason why Sony would leave that off the box art, from there isn't any reason the Activision CEO would let them leave all that money on the table!

[Kribwalker]

unless you have undeneiable proof, ziggurcat won’t even entertain the thought. Unless it’s something he believes. Then proof isn’t necessary

[ziggurcat]

@new: Even if it was a 1-year deal, we still would have seen some information either pre-release or post-release. There would be no reason for Activision to keep that information a secret.

[Kribwalker]

we saw a slip up last year when Playstation Ireland said “exclusive to PS4” then changed it to “launches first on PS4”

then again like you pointed out New, the box art doesn’t say exclusively on playstation like other games always do.

[ziggurcat]

The PS Ireland thing was a goof, but not in the way you think it is, krib. Activision are the ones who developed, and published the trilogy, they're the only ones who can offer any real information... not PS Ireland, who can't seem to make up their minds.

The fact is no one has said it's a timed exclusive. Not Activision, not even Layden when he announced the trilogy on stage. Give it up, it's sad to see you so desperate for this to be on another platform when there is absolutely zero evidence that supports that claim.

[Kribwalker]

@ziggur

i already own it on the PS4, it’s the saying tho, where there’s smoke there’s usually fire.And when they changed the wording from exclusively on PS4 to launch first on ps4 you can’t tell me that’s nothing

https://www.gamezone.com/ne...

that says way more then your stick my head in the sand approach you have been taking on this

[ziggurcat]

Uh... no. You're assuming there's smoke based on a goof-up on the part of PS Ireland. This is just one of many examples of you using wrong information in attempt to prove something.

There's no head-in-the-sand approach, here, either... show me something from Activision confirming a release date on other platforms. Layden also did not say anything about the game being on PS4/PS4 Pro "first." If it was timed, that would have been mentioned when Layden announced the game. If it was timed, there would have been information prior to its release concerning dates on other platforms. If it was timed, there would most certainly be information about the release date of this game on other platforms 6 months after its release on PS4.

Sorry, but I'm afraid the fire you seem to think exists is completely made up.

[Newmanator]

@zig check out my comment history it's basically all Crash. I only have a PS4 and got Crash day one. If it's on other consoles the chances of getting a CTR remake will be higher!
And the possible reason why it hasn't been mentioned by Activision is because Sony paid them to not discuss its exclusivity.
To your point, why hasn't Activision come out and said no it's not coming to other platforms?
Let's wait until June and see where it goes.

[ziggurcat]

I'm not concerned about your comment history.

"And the possible reason why it hasn't been mentioned by Activision is because Sony paid them to not discuss its exclusivity."

No. Timed deals don't involve that kind of thing - if a game is timed it is always stipulated in some way, shape or form. Even if that were true, there would be no reason for it to extend beyond the release of the game on PS4. I would love for you to provide a screenshot of the clause in the contract stating Activision can not talk about the game's exclusivity.

"To your point, why hasn't Activision come out and said no it's not coming to other platforms?"

Again... it would have been mentioned when the game was announced.

[hulk_bash1987]

False, we werent given the PC release date for Nioh until one month before it released. So it's defintely possible. Just because you dont want it to happen doesnt mean it wont. Sony doesnt own Crash

[Relientk77]

If they make a new Crash game, I hope its great and not just a cash-in.

[edeprez]

Yeah, no cheap crash-ins.

[PUBG]

Ya

[Lionalliance]

The more people play it, the better :D!

[winter_hill]

Yeah, I feel the same about Bayonetta 2 and 3. Maybe they should bring those to X1, PS4 and PC?

[NotanotherReboot]

Bring it to other platforms!

[NeoMetallix]

Meh, don’t care unless Naughty Dog is working on it. Crash Trilogy sold because they were actually good. The best Crash games by Activision we’re just average.

[TheDreamCorridor]

Naughty Dog is God.

[DanteVFenris666]

But if the same developers that did the remake are doing it I have faith in them. They probably understand the design philosophy of crash by redoing 3 gsmes

[smashman98]

I don't feel the idea of a port is unlikely however waiting 5 years for a new crash game after the success of the n sane trilogy is too stupid to be true. 5 years is a millennia in the gaming world and that's more development time than a cod game so you know it's bull

[Kribwalker]

nah they said new crash game next year then another in 2022. if you go to the source

“Activision will release N.Sane Trilogy on Switch and PC in 2018
There's a new Crash game coming in 2019
Activision has plans for Crash titles through 2022”

[smashman98]

ah I missed that thank you for clearing that up.

[Newmanator]

How did people disagree that's the first thing I noticed when I read it too!

[getbacktogaming]

Crash Team Racing!!!!!

[ChickenOfTheCaveMan]

Nuff said, I can't believe it's not here yet.

[Newmanator]

Maybe CTR is 2019 and new Crash is 2022?

[getbacktogaming]

I'll keep dreaming :D

[TheDreamCorridor]

Keep it only on PlayStation.

[Vegamyster]

Why?

[IamTylerDurden1]

Crash was an original PlayStation exclusive developed by PlayStation's best developer and he was literally the brand mascot for years. So there are reasons.

[InKnight7s]

Because neither Nintemdo nor M$ gave up Forza Horizon or Zelda (not mentioning the biggest hits Mario or Halo).

[Vegamyster]

IamTylerDurden1

In the past yes but that was a long time ago and that sounds more like a personal reason rather than a business reason, Crash since then has been on Nintendo & Xbox platforms. I don't see nothing wrong with others being allowed to play this, Activision are the ones who own the rights, not Sony.

[Newmanator]

People are emotional

[Persian_Immortal]

Well Crash is worthless as long as Activision and Vicarious Trash is working on it, I mean after ND left Crash its been done the shitter the past 15+ years with such shitty and crappy games both critically and sales wise, the one time Vicarious released a good crash game it was remastered left overs from Naughty Dog assets and ND blueprint, they aren't capable of making a good Crash game and Bobby Kotex and Activision Blizzard only hope is they can Frankenstein Crash the way they did with Spyro, at this point shitvision is only abusing the legacy of both Crash and Spyro(<---- Especially the noted but alas at least they are partnering with F4F on some cool statues.

[butchertroll]

Where is Xbox in this?

[ILostMyMind]

Nobody cares XB.

[butchertroll]

Yes, i know! :) Just asking

[zivtheawesome]

i don't see a switch port unless the game is heavily downgraded.

[IamTylerDurden1]

It's gorgeous on PS4 Pro.

[Eltortugagames]

If the switch can run odyssey it can run this..

[InKnight7s]

Oddesey? Limited floating arenas in the sky? That thing can run 4k 60fps hdr on pro and 5k on X1X. Switch is barely better than ps3 yet no even one single game in Switch achieves what TLOU achieved graphicly since we are talking about abilities here.

[khiva01]

I think this is Good game for Nintendo Switch

[BlaqMagiq1]

Hopefully a remake of CTR and/or Crash Bash is in the works. Not really interested in a new Crash game. Just the PS1 remakes would be all I need.

[Vanfernal]

As much as I loved N.Sane Trilogy, I don't really have faith in new Crash Bandicoot games unless Naughty Dog was involved and that's not gonna happen.

[dunnyone]

I like eggs.

[abra511]

i thought sony owned the 1st 3 games and ctr and bash

[strayanalog]

It goes without saying that if this is true it would be N Sane. Yeah? Never mind. I'll see myself out.

[Cajun Chicken]

Looking mighty forward to a new Crash in the vain of the original trilogy. Still want CTR and Crash Bash HD though.

[ASBO-5]

And NOPE! But gun to my head I'd kinda be ok with a Switch port. Also, give Spyro the same treatment

[SR388]

Rather see the Croc games comeback

[Platformgamer]

The port is a fake news.
I still hope for new crash games tho
