Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy Leaked For PC/Xbox One In Addition To Nintendo Switch

Amazon has leaked the Xbox One and PC version of Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy after the game was announced coming to the Nintendo Switch earlier in the official Nintendo Direct.

[gangsta_red]

Interesting, didn't we somewhat know this already? When this was talked about a while back when the rumors we're flying around of the game not being PS4 exclusives.

Edit:
http://n4g.com/news/2074632...

Indeed....

[djsilke45]

Trust me I could name plenty of games coming out that are exclusive just this year lmao don't even try it

[gangsta_red]

I'm sure we all could, but this one was pretty much a given when it was first announced to be timed.

[naruga]

the original ND Crash would never go multi ...the remake is just a shiny junk ...would be impossible for a "noobie" team like Traveler tales to recapture the original trilogy magic ....and Crash B. will be forever PSs mascot , cannt be related with any other console

[darthv72]

between the three (PS4, XBO, NS) I'd say the switch has the best chance to sell the most. Being able to play on the go is something many multisystem users may not want to pass up on. Even if they already have the PS4 version. so lets hope it sells a boat load to all the platforms and that it leads to development of a new, real current gen Crash game.

[HeisenbergX]

@naruga You have to be pretending right? i mean you have to

there is just no way you are for real with that comment

[darthv72]

@naruga, if anything jumping flash was the PS1 mascot initially. Crash just happened to come along at a time when PS was finding its edgy-style. Remember the commercials calling out "plumber boy"

But that ship sailed and Kratos became the new face of PS. though technically PS has many faces so its easy to fixate on one you think is the main but crash was never intended to be the face of PS. He just fit the position at that time.

[HeisenbergX]

@Darthv It already sold more than 3.5 m on ps4 and it's safe to assume it's going to sell more than 4 m until july 10.

Wanna know my opinion ? i honestly think other versions wont sell even close like the ps4 version did.

[Atanasrikard]

@Heisenberg

If the PS4 version isn't the most purchased version then the game is an absolute failure on the PS4. You do realize how many more PS4's there are than the other systems right?

That's like saying, I honestly think other burgers won't even sell close to what McDonald's sells.

[butchertroll]

They said it's coming to Playstation FIRST, not as an exclusive. It was so obvious it will be on other platforms :

https://twitter.com/PlaySta...

[gangsta_red]

Then I wonder why there was so much confusion around that time?

[Greg2801]

@Gangsta_red There was so much confusion because... "Fanboys"

[xfiles2099]

It dont matter Nintendo Fans will enjoy and support the game Xbox Fans not so much They dont even support their own games

[xfiles2099]

Not saying it will not sell at all I'm just saying most of the Xbox community will not support it. MS will not release numbers to game sales because they are so poor. Game Pass was created to help generate some cash flow from Xbox games because they have not been supported. Xbox has become a joke Hopefully they fix things soon. But I think we all can see their future and it is Xbox as a service not a console.

[chiefJohn117]

Based off your logic, most of the ps community don't support their games. Did Crash even reach 10% of the install base? Thought so.

[NatFanBoyRestricted]

one day it's there are no games on Xbox, next day it's gamers on Xbox don't support their games. should probably pull your head out your rear end :)

[Ausbo]

False. The 360 has the highest attach rate for last gen consoles. As far as this gen, it’s hard to tell because Microsoft releases no sales

[KillBill]

Oddly though that Xbox One exclusives have a better attach rate than do PS4 exclusives. So how does it show that XBox fans don't support their own games when they purchase them at a better attach rate than do PS4 fans?

[DARK_WOLF]

Burn

[Jinger]

Crash Will sit nicely on my Xbox hard drive along with Final Fantasy and Metal Gear Solid.

[mandingo]

Yea thought it was obvious as well. Idk why naruga is all butthurt about it. Major fanboy

[showtimefolks]

I hope so more gamers will get to play this. I always thought this was timed exclusive

I think Spyro collection is next

[mark_parch]

why don't sony advertise these games as launch exclusives so the consumer knows whats going on. a switch or xbox owner might have brought a ps4 just for this game to find out they didn't need to. same goes for hell blade. i wonder if we will see games like nioh or neir automata soon

[Kribwalker]

i bought both Crash and Hellblade for my PS4 because i was under the impression they were exclusive (although it was with coupons from sony so at least they weren’t full price). Otherwise i probably would have waited for it to release on Xbox. So you are on to something

[mark_parch]

@Kribwalker
I know this might sound strange to some people but i only bother with achievements on xbox and not my ps4 because i have been building my games library and score on xbox since the 360 that's also where my friends are and where i choose to play online. i have nothing against ps4 i love my ps4 but only brought it about 12 months ago, none of my friends have one and i don't go online i'm not to fussed with achievements and like to just play the awesome single player games like uncharted, the last of us and god of war. the reason i say this is crash bandicoot was a game i really wanted to 100% so obviously would rather play on my xbox. i was extremely close to picking it up on ps4 becasue i didn't think it was going to come to xbox. i would have been pretty pissed if i had as sony should have advertised it as a launch exclusive. anyway glad i held off and looking forward to attempting that 100% lol

[darthv72]

That's cool. More people to sell it to.

[potedude]

Yup that's great news for those who haven't played it before. And for those who had the old PS1 then it's nostalgia time...

[LegoIsAwesome]

Cool. Now bring SHadow of the colossus/persona 5/the order/bloodborne/.hack//g.u/gu ndam games to the switch

[Eiyuuou]

Or you can just buy a PS4.

Cause your wish won’t come true.

[Born2Game83]

Yep. Crash has been multi-platform for years now. Wonder why people are surprised.

[Sciurus_vulgaris]

It was obvious the Insane Trilogy was going to go multiplatform. Crash has been multiplatform for most of its lifespan. Also I think should pick the insane trilogy up once school is done. I’m getting the itch to play a platformer.

[PlayableGamez-]

It's not leaked.
It's officially announced.

[Big_Game_Hunters]

Cool more people get to play it LMAO!!!!!! LOL

[Lionalliance]

yeah? so?

[Brave_Losers_Unite]

NAVI LUL

[Big_Game_Hunters]

Navi sucks ass now. I need to update this

[Brave_Losers_Unite]

Eh you dont need to. I'm sure theyll previal

[AnubisG]

More people get to play this masterpiece the better. Crash is amazing.

[Cajun Chicken]

Leaked? It's clearly in the damn trailer Activision released.

[Sgt_Slaughter]

Now that this is going multi, I'm hoping that means Spyro and CTR will be multiplatform at launch if they do get made

[Kribwalker]

if rumours that have come true so far are to be believed it’ll be another sony paid timed exclusive. They won’t be able to hide it this time around. Well maybe from some folks

[Christopher]

I think only Spryo is rumored to be timed, haven't heard anything on CTR and it's likely going MP right away.

[LateNightThirst]

N4G:

PS Timed Exclusive, goes to other consoles: This is good for gamers, Sony understood that all gamers should have a chance to try this game and made a gamers centric choice to only keep it timed

Xbox Timed Exclusive, goes to other consoles: Wow Microsoft is such fraud who invests in timed exclusives?? Spend that money on real ones, timed exclusives are bad for gaming, microsoft is bad

[rainslacker]

I honestly doubt Sony really considered other systems, or cared much if other players got to play the game. I never considered them that altruistic. I mean, I'd say TLOU is probably more worthy of having it available elsewhere, but they aren't porting that game are they?

I think Sony may have indeed lobbied to get Activision to green light the trilogy. They may have even offered to fund it for full exclusivity, or tried to license the games themselves, but Activision maybe wanted it to be multi-plat with their own money, and were more than happy to take Sony's money for making it timed.

But at no point do I think they considered the other consoles.

Personally, as a PS fan, I'd rather companies not waste money on this timed exclusive stuff. I suppose they see value in it though, and I'd imagine after all this time there is enough data to suggest that it is indeed beneficial to spend the money on such things.

[butchertroll]

Sony came to Activision. Sony provided to Activision a source-codes for Crash 1,2,3 to be remade. Due to the way the rights work for Crash 1-3, if Sony didn't approach them or agree to it, Activision would not be allowed to make these at all.

Here is the proof that Sony came to Activision :

[LateNightThirst]

Bruh its a joke

[Sm00thNinja]

This unfortunately is ridiculously true

[Sm00thNinja]

Yeesh Kribwalker I owe you an apology! Looks like you ended up being right!

[Kribwalker]

we were having a sensible discussion about it, nothing to apologize for. Others though, they. weren’t being so sensible 😉

[Gazondaily]

Haha checkmate. That crow tastes halal 🤣

[chiefJohn117]

Krib knows what he be talking about and knows more than most ppl on here. Start listening to me and him and don't second guess us.

[Sm00thNinja]

I don't know who the hell you are, but your grammar is too sh***** to care. Also Krib was basing his theory almost solely on box art not sayin Only On Playstation. I didn't say he was wrong but after December when it was rumored to hit Xbox and didn't I told Krib it looked like he was wrong. In fact I came to the same conclusion originally that all the evidence pointed toward a timed release starting with the PlayStation Ireland leak.

Yeah joined in November 2017. Why am I explaining anything to you when you already have a pompous attitude like that

[Avengerz43]

Looks so weird seeing him on other platforms besides Sony. But I'm glad others that never played the series get to experience it

[darthv72]

only games on the PS1 were exclusive. From PS2 on, they were always multiplatform. Same with Spyro games.

[rainslacker]

Crash has been passed around to other systems for some time now. He hasn't been PS exclusive for a very long time.

[DialgaMarine]

Keep in mind, there was a Crash title that was technically exclusive to 360 last gen. Granted, it was that crappy “Crash of the Titans” game, but it goes to show that Crash hasn’t been a Sony exclusive since Crash Bash on PS1.

[MadLad]

I'll grab it on a Steam sale sometime down the road, if so. Likes the series, but the earlier titles felt a bit clunky to me. Did they modernize the overall feel of the game? Or is it just redone visuals?

[TheColbertinator]

Cool story there

[michellelynn0976]

I have no doubt that it is coming to them too.

[Protagonist]

Yikes the rumors were true ;)

[Tko1111]

third party exclusive hurts more than it help unless it helps the developer development cost.

[Blu3_Berry]

Not surprised one bit.

[TheOttomatic91]

I hope the X has a native 4K mode

[Zjet]

It wasnt leaked it was an official press release.

[Italiano1234567]

guaranteed it sells on the switch but doesn't sell on the Xbox

[PUBG]

Wow, first Hellblade was announced this week, and now Crash. I wonder what other games will be coming over in the months ahead.

[Good-Smurf]

When Activision owns the IP it just a matter of time really.
And now confirmed to be coming to Switch.

[link2Dpast]

So who's Sony's mascot?? Lmao

[Segata]

Nathan Drake and Kratos. The era where a console NEEDS a cartoon mascot is long gone as much as I miss it but makes sense.

[link2Dpast]

I mean it's all they have, similar to Xboxes halo and gears but there's no doubt if Sony bought out Sega and made sonic there official mascot it would definitely help them more than not

[Christopher]

How the heck do people not know this stuff.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wi...

[Segata]

I know about Toro but you may as well say Polygon man is Sony's mascot or Blinx is MS. Sony doesn't use Toro much outside of Japan and even then he's not starring in any PS4 games right now.

[DialgaMarine]

1994 called; they want their logic back. Sony doesn’t have one because they don’t base the PlayStation around a single face that they beat like a dead horse. PlayStation is about variety and being able to the largest library of games and genres of any console; not rehash to same 3 IIP’s every year, and then do basically nothing until they can sell you another Netflix box.

The awesome thing about PlayStation is that the mascot is whoever the gamer wants them to be.

[Christopher]

Sony has never said any such thing and has an official mascot in Japan.

[Kumakai]

Meh. Didn’t buy it for PS4, won’t buy it for either of the other 2. Maybe if they made a new one in the series I would.

[The_Jackel]

So activisions cash grab editions? Haha
Good to see people that cant afford multiple platforms can play it

[Christopher]

How is this a cash grab? Porting games to all systems that previously had no access to them is a cash grab now and not just giving more to gamers? C'mon.

[The_Jackel]

Did you not read past that part?
Take a joke once in awhile i shouldn't have to spell out its a joke all the time

[Christopher]

I think the votes speak on people's ability to detect your joke. Next time make it obvious, please.

[The_Jackel]

Yes coz caring about votes is #1 priority on this site lmao...
And no if people want to get all hooked up on it, that is their own fault not mine

[MadLad]

Wasn't a joke. You're just back-peddling.

Let's put it this way. I throw down about $1500, every console generation, on a new PC. Around the same time, I go in on previous gen's consoles, and all of the interesting exclusives, for a small chunk of what it would have cost me otherwise.
I play far superior versions of 95% of what's on the market, and then get to sit down and enjoy the exclusive content in a much, much shorter period of time. The fact that most of the games I waited to enjoy on the PS3 are now in better versions on the PS4, tells me I should wait even long on Sony, actually.

So get the hell out of here about those who can't afford it, you entitled dip.

[The_Jackel]

Nothing of what you just said i care about.... i throw down heaps of money each gen myself to have all consoles and a capable pc... there is some that can only afford one console, and yet youre angry about that? Sound like a selfish jerk just coz you have more privilege then some other people hence why this is a "good thing" so more people that may only own an xbox or just a switch or just a pc can play it to enjoy one of the best games remastered that was originally back on the ps1

[chiefJohn117]

I haven't played Crash since ps1, gonna love playing this in 4k on the X. Will be a great compliment to Ori 2

[zelent]

Wow. I'm pleasantly surprised this is coming to the PC. I thought for sure the Crash remake would remain a PS4 exclusive.

[Tobse]

Hellblade rumor aswell. Nier and nioh probably next

[Christopher]

Xbox fans deserve Nier and Nioh, to be honest. Great games.

[Tobse]

Yep

[mark_parch]

i would definitely give those games a try

[Profchaos]

Such a good game it's great that people that have always been Nintendo centric fans can experience it

[DiRtY]

Sony should have labeled it as a launch exclusive.
They need to be more open to their fans.

[DialgaMarine]

It was labeled as “First on PS4”. What else do you think that means?

[DiRtY]

Well, an irish Twitter Account was the most official source to say it was a timed exclusive. They tried to not mention it as long as possible.

Why not label it as a launch exclusive / times exclusive right from the start?

[mark_parch]

DialgaMarine It really wasn't that clear. where was it labeled as "first on ps4". sony should just have said launch exclusive

[DialgaMarine]

As fun as it was to enjoy Crash 3: Warped again, I didn’t find this collection to be as great as I had hoped. The games are still fun, and the remade graphics are beautiful, but they haven’t aged to well overall. Hope the Xbox and Switch users have fun with it, and hopefully certain people trying to mud sling about this not being a permanent PS4 exclusive. This news gets a meh and shoulder shrug from me.

[ThePenetrator]

To be honest I was gonna buy the PS4 version but now that the switch version is announced I think I be better off waiting

[Elda]

Crash was no longer a PS exclusive for years & when this came out last year for the PS4 it was known that it was a PS4 timed/launch exclusive.It's had it's lock down time on the PS4 which it did rather well on,now it's time for it to land on other platforms.

[mark_parch]

how was it a known launch exclusive. i can't remember seeing anything, do you have a source

[Elda]

At E3 2016 & other PS4 events after that.When I say launch exclusive meaning the game will be launched on the PS4 first which it was including it being a timed exclusive which it was.

[mark_parch]

@Elda
Sorry buddy but watch the e3 reveal again, at no point does it say anything about launch exclusive or timed exclusive and i haven't found any other event either. please check out the e3 reveal again and provide a link if possible i would be happy to be proved wrong

[kopko]

This was to be expected, Activision always goes multiplat

[Tzuno]

Ha, now come with the last of us and uncharted 1,2,3 :) I love my PC

[SR388]

Why has PlayStation lost all thier mascots and games? Lol

[GreatnessSincePS1]

Glad more ppl are gonna get to play this dope ass game!!!
Its still PlayStation history though dont get it twisted

[j15reed]

So Sony pretty much does what MS does except MS tells you it's a console launch exclusive.

[MetroidFREAK21]

I'm personally getting the Switch version over the Xbox One version. Glad PC users are getting it as well :)

[FernDiggidy]

Can't wait to play this on the go!!!!

[jmtstan]

no longer a rumor coz you can see this game at Eshop coming soon section,

[windblowsagain]

More sales with Crash. More chance of new games and Crash team racing etc.

[timotim]

Bring it to Xbox Play Anywhere so I can play it on my Surface Pro and X! X when I'm home and Surface Pro on the road.

[Saadioz]

It's officially announced. Already out on Steam and available for pre-ordering.
