Does the Vita have any of the Skylanders games? I know it's not the best thing to use to decide a Vita port but if they won't port Skylanders I can't see them porting Crash.
Maybe NA will finally get the PS1 games playable on Vita.

Those charts are based upon click-through a in a specific time frame. It doesn't mean that crash has more preorders than anything else that is higher, just more preorders.
They are also produced using algorithmic prediction which isn't based purely on the number of times the buttons have been clicked
I freaking called it, it was so obvious that it was a timed exclusive despite some folks acting like it wasn't.
What utter nonsense drivel to try and hide the fact that you are a fanboy.
"being invested" my arse.

Probably wouldn't have happened without Sony pushing it, now we all win (eventually).
A classic texture mod would be neat but probably depends on how closely the level geometry mirrors that of the original. The original geometry data is just being used as a guide, not as foundations, so there may be some differences here and there.

Have a ps4 but will buy on switch just to piss of ghostofsparta
Same.
I still love the first Crash games so someday I would buy them on PS4, so...
So some of you believe this tweet but brushed aside the one that called it an exclusive?
Probably because all signs point to this being the reality and not the N.sane trilogy being exclusive even though neither Sony nor Activision has said as much. This being the corrected version only further solidifies the reasoning that the trilogy was timed.

God damn, that's a pretty pathetic mentality for an adult to have.

Like others I was always in the "Sony and Activision never actually said exclusive so it likely isn't" camp.
I'm definitely getting it on Switch day 1 if it does happen (I say the holidays).
One thing that always puzzled me regarding this whole thing with people saying Sony would fund Crash and whatnot; why would Sony invest in an family IP they don't even own when they have the literal successor to Crash that they DO own; Jak & Daxter?
Honestly I'd LOVE to see a legit revival of J&D (the first one is so good). I've said before that Insomniac should take a crack at the IP if ND doesn't want to (and it seems obvious to me that they absolutely do not ever want to make a cartoony game ever again).

Console warriors ladies and gentlemen.
For those saying they will wait for a Switch version: Who's to say it will even run on the Switch?

Did you miss that every single Crash game since the PS1 has been on multiple systems? There have been more 'mainline' Crash titles on other systems than there were exclusive ones. The figure would be 3 vs 4 I think, not counting spin offs to which there are way more.

I could see it coming to switch, Xbox one, and pc. Doubt activison would throw away free money like that
I remember the GBA games being good. I thought I'd read some of the later sixth gen games were also.
Edit: oh, just saw these posts:
Thanks for the info!
yeah I know, like I said I've played Crash on Game Boy Advance

Hmm. Guess it may come to Xbox One and Switch after all, though I'm still doubtful. Wouldn't be surprised if it's a console exclusive and is released for the PC; like Street Fighter V and Nier: Automata.

just hope it does come to PC tho.
It's hard not to read into people basically not realizing that the Crash series has existed longer as a multi-plat series than as a Playstation exclusive.
That said, the pedigree was super strong with the original three PSX titles. If the adaptation is solid, people will love this.

Yeah, it isn't out of realms of possibility that the multiplatform release would not come to PC due to being tied with NFC or suits just assuming there's no market here.
"Children"?
Us adults can afford to buy all the hardware we want. I don't "invest" in one company with video games and HOPE I get something. I have a gaming PC, PS4, Xbox One, and multiple pieces of Nintendo Hardware.
I'm all for every game coming out on everything. That's not happening, but I'd never cheer against it.
I'm excited for the PC version mainly for what happens after this game is released. Like, people do some ridiculous things with games, creating entire new campaigns and what not. With the gameplay/animations what not having been carefully crafted already, I'd be interested to see if some talented fans tackle this game and try to create entirely new levels, or styles of levels that aren't necessarily as linear, but with this gameplay and see how it turns out.
Exactly. The most recent "big" example I can think of was some reactions to previously PS2-only franchises showing up initially on 360. People were frustrated that more people were able to play games they enjoyed. It's not like you can even pin it down to any one crowd; some people are just holed-up in their own ego so much that they lose perspective on the hobby.

I was shocked activision didn't bring Destiny to PC. But maybe they had that old "hackers" excuse.
Crash won't have online stuff (except leaderboards? maybe? but those are hacked everywhere)
It's on the same engine as Skylanders Imaginators, which is a launch title for the Switch, so there's no technical issue there.

Lol exactly. I can't believe these people exist. People who want something to be exclusive. Is this GAF or Gamefaqs?
I no longer own an Xbox One and won't own a Nintendo Switch but it doesn't mean I'm going to act a fanboy and say this can only be PlayStation and PC. I want this game on those systems I don't own so people with only those systems can also enjoy it, and so the game gets more sales.
But this thread is definitely doing a good job of filtering out people with this bizarre brand loyalty.
Obviously not everyone's expenses are the same, but acting like owning more than one game platform in the same generation is prohibitively expensive is a stretch from my experience. And doubly-so when it's the justification for what comes across as bitter resentment that games have a wider audience.
LTTP, but: I suppose Sony would be saying it is a console exclusive if that was the case?

While the first part is legit, let's not act like the PS4 needed that to be exclusive to be successful, and that (regular) owners are suddenly not as happy because it's not an exclusive.

this wasn't known?.
Anyway , not surprising. No reason to keep it exclusive if Sony isn't developing or publishing it, and they haven't owned the IP for a long time.
Also LOL at those getting angry over this. The newest game of this remake came out almost 20 years ago, and for like 17 of those the franchise hasn't even been exclusive.
Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if the only reason this is being made is because they can sell it on every big platform.
Get mad if a recent exclusive goes multiplatform, not freaking Crash!!

I'd say "Awesome news! Now even more people will get to enjoy the game!"
But honestly I don't like Crash. Even hated it when I was a kid. Its WAY too linear.
Does having less choices really help you any?

But does any of that have any tangible, meaningful positive effect on you? All those things are just feelings of justification for owning a PS4. No actual physical effect on you that improves your experience as a consumer.

It's no big deal, it's likely to sell the most on PS4 anyway (for people that really care about that kind of thing) and it's good that people with platforms get to play these classic games too. People really get protective over exclusives.
not for me, been playing crash on xbox for years.

Funny thing, there were TWO Crash games last gen that came out on like everything EXCEPT PS3.

Ah, you're right, I always forget about Crash Bash.
The more I think about it the funnier that is.
Not silly, per se.
It's more that it being exclusive is less of a surprise than it being multiplatform. But, overall I was wrong and I'm glad they clarified.
I'd think it's more likely to help than hurt a re-release, unless there's a rights conflict in there somewhere.
This is just embarrassing.
They couldn't even lockdown an HD project (of their most famous gaming icon) to their own platform. Even they must have known how absurd that situation is, hence the total silence regarding potential platforms.
With this, alongside the NieR debacle, I just have to question wtf is up with Sony's current 3rd-party strategy; it reflects very poorly on them.

Does it ?
So more timed moneyhats from Sony. The hilarious thing is no one who writes about games I'd hesitate to call them journalists seemingly cares enough to ask straight up questions to Sony higher ups when situations like this pop up. Often Sony seems quite happy to let people think a game is exclusive even if it isn't.
As it is a very about turn from the heat MS used to rightfully get for doing the same thing. But there is a certain slyness to the way Sony does it that's a bit more distasteful.

I've never played them so...I'd give them a go?
Crash 3 in particular holds up really well, even now. They're cool games.
Sony shouldn't even bother trying to lock down Crash.
If it's coming to their system, that's good for them. Instead of spending money trying to get Activision to remaster Crash on their console, they should spend money and remaster other famous PS franchises they own. Ape Escape, Medieval, Legend of Dragoon, Twisted Metal 2, etc. We're already getting Parappa Remastered later this summer.
If people have fond memories of Crash, chances are they'll have fond memories of these games also, and will buy a Playstation for that (and for the great exclusives on the console i.e. Horizon, Uncharted 4, Infamous, Death Stranding, Detroit, Days Gone)
