Crash Bandicoot remastered collection coming in 2017

Oh, so you can't play Crash on PS4 then?

Remaster bashing is played out. If people want the same games - and I do - then more power to them, if you're mad then that's on you. Also they're not going to do it like the PS2 games, it's probably much more akin to Oddworld which was ground up.

Well see about that. I have no problem with people being happy to play those games, but far too many people think this is a ratchet and crank remake or reimagining and from the way it was described it just sounds like a polished ps1 title.
 
No but really, who's this Dragon Punch guy? Is he trustworthy or...?

My Junior Member self has no idea about this stuff.

They literally used the words "ground up".

You're getting too caught up on the word "remaster". Companies don't use it correctly and often interchange it with "remake".
 
Again I can ALREADY PLAY THESE GAMES ON PS4. Remasters are glorified ports, and they're being done by Activision. Nothing to see here.

...what? No you can't. Also you can't play these remade versions of the games on anything other than PS4.
 
I knew it. A full budget new Crash game does not make any fucking sense as an investment in 2016. Crash is such a dated 90s IP. They are remastering the old games as a test to see if there is an viability for a full blown reboot, but there's not enough convincing evidence for them to make that move yet.
 
Lmao "Hey Naughty Dog watchu doin'?" "Oh just working on Last o-" "Well stop that and remaster these Crash games pls"

Well I mean if it were ND they are not going to use the whole team (just like TLOUR), plus they are pretty much in pre-production right now ( if they only have 1 team) so not everyone must hands on deck.
 
To the hell with Activision. I want a new Crash game by Sony.

You're going to need to buy this collection if you're going to get a new game by either Activision or Sony.

You can make a good Crash game on a small budget though. It doesn't need to be Uncharted 4 money.
 
I want CTR and Crash bash more than these single player remasters as these collections still hold up, so I want to play multiplayer of CTR and crash bash.
 
I don't care. I'm buying it. ANYTHING is better than Skylanders.

This is the only remaster I will ever invest in.
 
lol, I'm surprised at all the negativity in here, I thought GAF was dying for Crash to come back to PS4. Is this just because it's a collection of the old games and not a new one?

Never played the series so I have no strong feelings either way about this announcement, but the crowd reaction was fun to watch. Might give this a shot when it comes out.

Again we can wait and see. Either way I'm bumping to serve crow or eat it. Nobody once said remade. There is a massive difference between remakes and remasters.

There are always Debbie Downers, Negative Nancys and special snowflakes who love to barge into every Crash-related thread and spew endless negativity.

Nonsense, the reaction to crash in general has been mostly positive. The negativity is coming from the factory that we got ffvii port trolld all over again.
 
People comparing this to FFVII PC port reveal....

That was a port. This is remaking the visuals entirely, and clearly laying the groundwork in re-establishing Crash Bandicoot as a Playstation mascot.

Honestly I'm really surprised how people are upset about this... Between that and "wtf this isn't Resident Evil" after constant whining about how Capcom will never go back to horror.
(of course, it's not always the same people)

Come on friends. These are jolly times, enjoy it
 
Maybe Activision will finally let the PSOne games into the Vita. I only have it on Vita during that 2 day glitch when they let everything work on Vita

I too put stock in this being the test bed of "do they really want crash"
 
Activision doesn't own code to the original Crash Bandicoot games. Anything done has to be in agreement or co-publishing of SIE most likely.

I expect it to be exclusive, but if the only thing Activision does not own in Crash 1-3 is the code, then a "ground up remaster" could very well get rid of that and also release on other systems. As I said, I don't expect it to, but it is strange that if they did not say exclusive, because usually console publishers are quite keen on touting exclusivity. Nevertheless, now that we know what the Crash return is, my stance is: If it comes to NX or Xbox One, I'll buy it, but I don't need to buy a PS4 for it, especially since I have just recently played through the original games. Personally, I think Crash 2 is the best, but Crash 1 is considerably better than the all-over-the-place Crash 3.

I like Crash's design in SKylanders.

There is a reason I decided recently to not bother going on Gaf much anymore and its from the toxic community sometimes here. These recent announcements for Crash are honestly great and they want to slowly introduce the Crash IP to both new generations and older generations.

Having a remaster/remake of the first three games is a very smart first move with Crash and him being in Skylanders is only going to help the IP's growth in the future.

I'm sick of people getting bitter over petty nonsense and I agree; we should be happy with the news and recent announcements. Sony, Microsoft, Ubisoft and everyone is having a great E3 so far.
 
I do not understand why people want a new Mario in 2016...

Okay I know why. But...WTF is a new Mario in 2016? Just make the same old games but with new graphics? That would suck. How do you make Mario interesting in this day and age?

Fixed for maximum dumb
 
He said remastering. Damn a ton of people are in for massive disappointment.

Talking psclassics here. If not ps4 then ps3 or Vita.

Again if we're going by the definition of remaster from everything we've ever seen in gaming, then yes you're getting the same game with better resolution and maybe some higher res textures. This is trash and if it's not that than at the very least Sony has handled the problem incredibly poor.

Nonono that was not a "remaster" of re1 for ps1 that was a "remaster" of the GameCube "remake" which is an entirely different thing.

Well see about that. I have no problem with people being happy to play those games, but far too many people think this is a ratchet and crank remake or reimagining and from the way it was described it just sounds like a polished ps1 title.

Why are you even in here ?

Get outta here with this bullshit
 
Where all good original IPs go to die: Skylanders.

Well, expected some form of Crash Bandicoot. I wonder what the remaster will look like....
 
I'm excited. The fact that Activision is bringing Crash to Skylanders sucks on its own (see Spyro), but the fact that they're also doing this collection says that they know there is demand/interest for Crash. It's possible this is a test bed for the future of Crash.
 
So I'm a bit confused can someone explain this to me.

I thought a Remaster was upscaling and slight tweaks, and a Remake was redesigned from the ground up. So what is a Remastered from the ground up exactly?

Wouldn't Ratchet and Clank be considered a Remake? If that's what we're getting I'm excited, if we're just getting a Remaster I'm disappointed.

Do we know the developer?
 
I never had a PS1 and the little bit of this game
in Uncharted 4
is my one and only experience with the series.

So, I'm excited! Lots of great stuff today!
 
Ugh X(. You know what, I can imagine Sony telling this to people that are fustrated with Crash news.

Sony: Today we are announcing Crash Bandicoot Remastered and him being playable in Skylanders!
Fans: That sucks
Sony: But....you have been asking for this.....for the past few years, right? We didn't just imagine those hundreds of tweets, emails and more.
Fans: But you don't own him
Sony: Does that matter? We have a good relationship with Activision thanks to Call of Duty and Destiny deals. We are working together on Crash.
Fans: But he isn't PlayStation Exclusive.
Sony: (Frustrated) Listen here. Crash is coming out FIRST on Skylanders. The PS4 game is coming out first on that. And we have a new game in the works by a talented internal studio exclusive on PS4. We could of used the Crash slot of other trailers we have on games we OWN like Gravity Rush 2. But we did not. We want to make new Crash adventures and celebrate the IP for a few games.
Fans: But you should of bought the IP aga.....
Sony: Get out. No one is ever grateful...... (Walks away upset)
