I mean, we're getting Shenmue 3. A game that no one saw coming and is being supported/funded by Sony themselves.It makes me laugh when we have years worth of hints and people still refuse to even humour the idea of a new Crash game being announced.
Up until June last year, I was cyclical about a Crash revival happening until Sony pulled those tricks out of left field at last year's E3. They know the feelings surrounding that franchise and they have their finger on the pulse on fan demand of certain series' and they go above and beyond to secure those games and strengthen their platform (Shenmue 3, Yakuza, FFVII Remake, The Last Guardian) which is something they're doing because they're in the lead and trying to capitalise on their success.
