Today Activision released a new trailer of the next Crash Bandicoot game, Crash Team Rumble, focusing on one of the maps, named "Just Beachy."
Crash Team Rumble will be recieving its final content update on March 4, following the news that Toys for Bob is going independent.
Good. This game was a waste of time for them
I bet they are glad they are allowed to move on
No way this was their idea to make this kind of game
“Here we are at our AAA Game of the Year Awards and there are loads of games to celebrate so let's dive in and get to the winners.” - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums.
VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "When you look at it from a bird’s eye view, Crash Team Rumble faces treacherous headwinds. Release schedule, marketing, invasive live-service shenanigans, and an unfamiliar template for this franchise have all coalesced into this unknown entity; and yet, the template finds firm footing. There's a genuinely interesting expansion of what’s come before while still capturing the tonal quirkiness of yore. But even when looking past the nagging corporate elements, there are still enough gameplay frustrations to diminish what are otherwise some pleasant accomplishments. To translate into Crash’s language: Toys for Bob scraped its way to the finish line, but missed a few crates along the way."
What the actual f*** is this...
God damn it
I'd rather have just had a Crash Bash remake
I'd assume they were attempting to "live service" the crash ip?
Mostly disappointed with the general direction tbh, they've been knocking it out of the park since 2017
Crash Bandicoot: N. Sane Trilogy - 2017
Spyro: Reignited Trilogy - 2018
CTR: Crash Team Racing - Nitro-Fueled - 2019
Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time - 2020
no open beta or demo unless ya "buy it" so =) no thanks
Oh don't tell me an online multi player shit fest again.
oh yea, i keep forgetting about this.
ill try it but i know i wont stick with it.
live service games are not my thing
Might be fun for a few weeks but will most likely die a quick death. Such a shame that iconic franchises are being taken in this direction.
The multiplayer space is so oversaturated at present with heavy hitters like COD, Fortnite, FIFA, and dare I say it? Battlefield with its recent resurgence.
Games like this typically attract a small audience, especially since it’s paid, but with such a stacked year with the likes of Diablo, Street Fighter, Final Fantasy, Horizon, Spider-Man & that’s not even taking into account the annual COD release - it won’t be long before players who do pick this up, move on.
Should’ve been F2P imo to stand any chance.
Happy to be proved wrong when it launches though.
