This is so fucking awesome.
Can't wait.
ninja edit: I wonder if we'll be able to play as Crash on the Coco-only levels in Crash 3 (Tiger mount and jetski levels).

Pretty rad. Icing on the cake at this point. Wonder if she'll be unlockable or playable from the start?
Retcon's everywhere!

I feel like this has greatly enhanced my interest in this remastered trilogy...
Yeah, also happy to see that.

Just give me this already.
I wouldn't mind a slight retcon, all they need to do is add a small cutscene for her at the beginning of Crash 1 where she sees her brother heading towards danger and decides to follow him. In Crash 2, she was already looking for Crash for the entire game. Warped is self-explanatory.
You can't.
The only post up so far is Germany's but:
Coco is playable in all of the on-foot platforming levels; she cannot play Crash's riding/vehicle levels, though. Nor can Crash play her vehicles. So for instance, Crash can't ride the jetski or Pura and Coco can't ride the motorcycle or Polar.
What I find most interesting about this is Coco cannot fight bosses -- this is apparently to "keep the story consistent" -- which to me seems to mean that they've really, REALLY fleshed out the bosses and related cutscenes because in the original games, none of the cutscenes for the bosses actually *feature* Crash in them, and when they do, it's his actual in-game object waiting at the spawn. She fought the fourth boss in Crash Warped already, so I imagine she can still fight that one.
It ALSO says "Vicarious Visions has given Coco a lot of attention and she offers a lot that is not obvious at first sight!" which would imply that when playing as Coco, there are differences and rewards.

I'm sorta 50-50 on it. Original Coco was clearly meant to be a '''''''serious''''''' character compared to Crash just by the way she talks in 2 but then again it's not like I'm that attached to that specific part of the esteemed Crash Bandicoot lore and making her silly gives a lot more room for the animation team just for starters.

Looks sooooo good. Can't wait!

Neat, as someone who only finds the original trilogy simply good enough I think they've done a real good job jazzing these up to grab my attention.
She was pretty goofy in CTR, she wasn't goofy in 2 because she didn't have enough screen time.

Let's go with CTR for next year VV. Then pull off the Spyro trilogy a year later.
This is going to be a great nostalgia run. Thank you Activision, Vicarious Visions and Sony.
Best wishes.

Is she carrying a laptop?
Little sisters everywhere will definitely love her

Her animations are so good

It's a shame we can't play as her in boss fights.
Oh well. It's pretty minor in the grand scheme of things. I'm still excited!

Wonder if Coco and Tawna will have any interactions at the end of the bonus stages or the secret ending

We knew about this already but it's good to see a proper trailer. This, plus the relics for Crsh 1 & 2, are fantastic additions.
Is it just me or is this game a lot less cute than the original trilogy? Granted, Crash always looked gross and the official renders they used for advertisements always looked like a bad combination of Looney Toons and generic anime but in the actual games a lot of the enemies, as well as Polar, the tiger, and Coco looked adorable. It looks like they're purposefully trying to make everything look ugly in an exaggerated way.
I hope Coco kicks Tawna off the bird in the secret ending.

I'm glad she's more goofy now, I never really liked the later-season Lisa Simpson style where she acted older than she should. Girls can be smart or tech-savvy and still be a fun character.
I wonder what her death animations will be like. I seem to remember Wrath of Cortex going easy on her, where she'd usually just fall over, while Crash would explode/bisect/get electrocuted pretty horribly.

I think the contrary, actually. I love the "cuteness" of this (these?) game(s).

Coco pulling stupid faces for a selfie is out of character and wrong.

That's cute.
Fantastic job! Can't wait until they do the same with Spyro!... They are doing this with Spyro too... right?
If they nail this (and the CTR/Bash remaster), I'd like for VV to make original Crash games, they should probably establish a new continuity and start over right after the events of CTR.
Spyro can be done by another team.
