Shame. The ride has almost been a game in itself.
Exclusive, not exclusive, exclusive, not exclusive, etc.

Da fuq.
Funny thing is that Crash had just as many games on other platforms than it had exclusive on PS systems. PS players seem quick to grab a game and say that it belongs to their platform.
The whole label thing has had plenty of threads. Things like Dragon Quest Heroes, Neptuina games, etc. Early ones of Street Fighter.
I don't know why you're being sarcastic about it when it's pretty much a matter of record and there's a half dozen topics about it. Many ones that say PS4 exclusive will get a PC release. Many that say console exclusive or nothing at all won't go anywhere but PS4. Sony is not consistent with their labelling especially before release.
Most will get corrected by retail, which might still be the case here.

Crash had a lot of games that were multiplatform and almost as many exclusive games on Nintendo platforms.
I love how this is still a thing, people should just wait until it's actually out.
We have no way of knowing that.
It's like saying, "Uncharted is a Playstation brand so if a Uncharted 1-4 collection came out on PC it would barely sell"

It's "Only on PlayStation", but it's basically the same thing. Unless "PS4 Exclusive" somehow carries more weight or something like that...

Yeah, I forgot to mention in the other thread that while the pic used here is from the UK,
It was sent pretty much to all Europe.
Here's the german version as well:

I hate to break this to you but were you aware crash has been released on the Xbox before?
Also to answer your question - because activision own the rights?
I wish the OP hadn't created this thread - it will be fun
but hey it's more plausible than the Ireland version I guess No retail box ever had Only on PlayStation on it, though.
The only example I know of in that case is Final Fantasy X/X-2 HAD.
Obviously the "Day 1 Edition" was the Exclusive part of the game
The "Slime Edition" has the exact same content on PC.

Why can't we just chill and wait until the game is actually released?
Is it so important if the game is exclusive to PS4 or not this far before release?
Exactly my reaction.

This ride will never end.

I was actually pointing out the text "Day One Edition" which is the only thing exclusive out of all the sku's

Vicarious Visions has used the term "remaster plus" in describing whether the N. Sane Trilogy is a remaster or a remake multiple times. Vicarious Visions Also said that they do not consider it a remake, because they did not "fully remake" the original games, but rather used Naughty Dog's original code and level geometry to rebuild the gameplay from scratch. And bullshit Sony definitely spending money.

Well. Whatever floats your boat, then.

It was a joke though, you took it way too seriously.
They are not using the Sony's source code in the game, and Sony is not funding the development of the game.

I'd be shocked if this doesn't come to at least one other platform.
But who knows. Either way I'm not taking a newsletter as confirmed of anything. I guess unless Sony or Activision officially clarify, this debate will rage on

and if you feel like watching a +40 minutes video, they go into details about how VV has been handling the game's development.

Please watch the video I just posted.
this is getting old. At this point, its an "exclusive" but I don't think it'll remain that way. Why should we argue about something we have no knowledge about? I'm going to play the waiting game and see. I'll buy it on PS4 and hopefully it comes out on other systems so that everyone can experience how fun warped was. (never cared too much for the first or second one)
No, they aren't. They are researching the code to build aproximated recreations of the original. The code isn't actually being used "inside" the game and Sony has no property rights whatsoever on the remake's code.
I've watched it. No old code is being used in the game, the source code of the originals is just being analised. It's quite a world of difference.

I don't understand the problem here even if it is exclusive.
Why do some people hate the idea of PS4 exclusives so much?
Do the latest mainline Halo games being Xbox exclusive get this much concern considering the earlier games were also out on the PC?
It's pretty transparent that some of y'all are picking and choosing when to be outraged about this whole console exclusive thing.

But where do you think they got the code from?
It's pretty evident Sony had some hand in this. Not saying it's gonna be exclusive yet though.
I know to read and hear better than you, yes. Once again, they are only using source code for research so they can aproximate it (Sony has no rights to the remaster's code), and the only money being given by Sony is for marketing and timed exclusivity.
So? Just because Sony was nice enough to hand it over doesn't mean the final product will be exclusive. That's not how it works.

Doesn't Sony own the right for the first 3 games since they were published by Sony during the psx era ? I know the IP is owned by activision but the first 3 games are for Sony only which explains why the remaster are for the first 3 games only and Sony exclusive
It's kinda like Bayonetta 2 and Nintendo / Sega

Can you post a source then?
Especially since you're stooping towards insulting other people.

Haha, that's not how business decisions go though.

Reverse engineering, and since they're going for the "approximate recreations" approach I see no reason to believe they are being provided the exact source code unless specifically mentioned by them or Sony.

Not at all. Sony only owns the publishing rights for the original PS1 games, nothing more than that. Activision does not need their permission at all in any way to do a remake of them.
The only thing Crash Sony does own is CTR.
Do you think this remake made in Unreal Engine 4 is being built on the literal source code of a PS1 game? That's one of the most ridiculous things I've heard yet
As for it being timed, you can just wait and see.
Sure, and business decisions can go "hey, give us the source code, and we will let you have this as a timed exclusive for a while"

wait what
There's been mountains of talk about Xbox "exclusives" going to PC. See the dozen Sunsent Overdrive PC threads. Or your own terrible example of Halo 5 lol. It's only died down recently because well, they announced literally everything is coming to PC and so speculation over it ended. Of course NOW they're not going to be much discussion over it because it's already been more or less confirmed. If they suddenly said "Halo 6 will be our one and only game we keep exclusive to Xbox One" you can bet your ass there's gonna be a ton of discussion over it.
I'd bet Halo on PC threads absolutely DWARF threads about this game and many similar ones in number and discussion. Baffling point to try to make.

In the video they mentioned "Sony & Activision approched us" like 3 times, I doubt it was reverse enginnering Sony gave them access to Naughty Dog's original code. Again doesn't confirm exclusivity but Sony definitely had a hand in these games recreation.
And I'm not denying that, but people saying they didn't use the original code or that Sony didn't have a hand in this is high speculation.

Don't assume this is true until we get confirmation from Activision or Sony in an interview or at E3.
You know what? At first I dont really care whether its exclusive or not. But now I kind of wish to see it become full exclusive just for your reaction.

Here, have a look for yourself when news of MCC surfaced:
http://m.neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=820291&page=1
There are the usual few port begging posts but in no way is the discussion dominated by exclusivity talk. That's the difference.
The question of "Why are people expecting this to release on anything other than PlayStation platforms?" and, more recently, conflicting information tend to beget speculation.
Maybe? maybe not? Either way is fine with me.

Thinks buying more servers can fix a bad patch
the latest Crash Bandicoot games are multiplatforms.
