In the era of picking between MK64, CTR or DKR youre out of your mind if you think MK64 has either one beat.
Sony owns CTR the game but this doesn't extend to owning the CTR IP, so while a remake of the original game would be a Sony-owned PS4 exclusive, a new entry would be entirely up to Acti and multiplatform (possible temporary exclusivity shenanigans aside).
They tried to reboot this series around 3 or 4 times

A remake of the old one would be the biggest draw. Who knows how a new one made with Acti at the wheel (pun intended!) would turn out.
Quite possibly. I was just clarifying that, with the exception of a possible remake of the original game, Sony doesn't have a say in the future of the IP.

Good stuff, but now let's see that Xbox version please.

A new Bubsy game is actually being made.
How about a new Pitfall Activision? Give Uncharted a run for it's money.
I personally hope they retcon any mainline entries after Warped and start from scratch. Wrath of Cortex is awful and Crunch is a terrible character that needs to stay in the past. Twinsanity is also pretty mediocre.
I don't blame you, Crunch is essentially what Poochie was for Itchy & Scratchy. Some lamebrain Hollywood executive's idea for a new character to make the series fresh.
I'd rather they just start over and make an actual Crash 4. Coupled with how inconsistent the franchise became over the years, it just made sense to start over fresh anyway.

Crash 4 should be a Twinsanity-style game, but not an exact Twinsanity remake. Twinsanity was the perfect blend of open world connecting cohesive linear stages that drifted from open 3D and linear 3D/2.5D. An exact clone of dumping you in a warp room with another Wrath of Cortex attempt at copying the classics will dampen and fail to keep up this renewed momentum.
Ah, I see. So, it's not really that great then? I wonder why so many people want it remas...
...oooh, this sounds pretty interesting! I love me some Mario Kart, so I hope CTR gets a remaster too. I'm pretty interested in checking it out now!
Or just a Nintendo fanboy.

Logically, they would use the new gain of popularity that Crash Bandicoot have at this moment with the remakes to promote and do a new game with Crash Bandicoot.
Then they do the remakes of Spyro.
