Sony has publishing rights for 1,2,3,CTR and maybe Bash. You won't see this on Xbox One just like FFVIIR.

Layden said they have been working with Activision to bring Crash 1-2-3 to PS4

I'm sorry I didn't understand your point ? Are you agreeing with me or saying they implies not just Sony ?

Activision owns the publishing rights to the remasters, so it isn't out of the realm of possibility. That's what people are trying to point out.

EDIT: And it is entirely possible that the remasters are timed-exclusive due to Sony working with Activision.

 

[Ronan_Berthelot]

Pretty sure they mean it's exclusive...

Pretty sure it means the opposite. "First on PS4" for Skylanders, and "for PS4" for the remake.

But they require permission to remaster them from Sony in the first place, who wouldn't agree to it if that were the case.

Why do they need permission from sony? Sony dont own the ip

I bolded the part I was referencing which was specifically the remaster.

 

[Ricky_R]

Remastering, re-imagining, remaking? Which is it, really?

I'm sure in due time we will be getting clarification on all this.

Seeing as how this is being handled by Vicarious Visions, I can't see this being a simple "remastering."

They can't just port the games like that. Not only is the architecture completely different now, but all 3 games are coded in Andy Gavin's GOOL, which only he truly know how to work with. Plus a lot of other technical details that are just too hard to program on today's technology.

If they're going to recreate the games (which seems like the likelihood), I doubt they'd stop at "exactly the same graphics and gameplay but in HD". And before you suggest emulators, remember that this is, according to Sony, being done from the ground up.

All signs point to this being an all-new thing.

Based on what Sony said alot of people seem satisfied with the collection.

Also I think he said like 70% of PS4 owners never play the series.

Wait, really?

Sorry that was for PS4 owners.

Those publishing rights would be irrelevant with a full remaster from the ground up. If the collection is PS4 exclusive, is because Sony paid for the exclusivity.

I'm certain its a PS exclusive - namely because I just can't imagine this happening without Sony's approval/involvement.

They don't need it. No approval from Sony is required.

I have Crash 1 and 2 on my PSP.

They don't hold up that well in 2016.

Elaborate on why they don't?

 

[megashock5]

Was just playing 1-3 a week or two ago, I actually think they hold old up pretty well. Still fun with a lot of charm, IMO.
