[Bunta]

Holy shit please happen.

 

[Elixist]

Activision can even monetise the game a la Rocket League, loot boxes with items to customise characters, alternative vehicles (same stats) and potentially new tracks.

With good online code it would be a hit.

CTR remains the best kart racer in existence, just purely from a mechanical stand point.

i've thought the same thing. the multiplayer of a racer needs this kind of shit in todays market. do it.gif

 

[Pancakes R Us]

Oh snap. This crash just got real.

I love Crash Bandicoot always and forever.

 

[PaulloDEC]

I refuse to get excited until we've seen an official announcement.

I'm too emotionally fragile to risk anything else.

 

[Agent X]

I'm in favor of seeing a CTR revival!

[MercuryLS3]

CTR is the only cart racer i've ever really loved, it would be my megaton if this was DLC or included with the game.

 

[shortsoptional]

I keep trying to order the game on Amazon and keep getting a 503 error...wonder what's up.

 

[Zhao_Yun]

Pls be true!

They sold out. You must have gotten in just a bit too late.

 

[Quintin DM]

I love me some CTR so i'd be all in for a remaster.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

I thought the special announcement was going to be a demo....

but what if it is a demo for CTR, included in the day one copy of the trilogy? CTR due for November 2017. (lol no)

Not that far fetched, Ratchet Collection had a demo for Sly Cooper 4. Not the exact thing, but I could see it happening.

 

[JaseC]

It certainly seems possible that I was wrong about Acti not teasing a CTR remake on account of it not being an Acti game. Encouraging stuff. It could have no changes whatsoever besides bot fill-ins for MP races and I'd still be a happy chappy. MK64 supporting just that is literally the only reason I prefer it over CTR.

 

[Hexa]

Even if remastered CTR is in development, that doesn't guarantee it'll be revealed on Monday. Seems more like something we'd see at PSX imo.

 

[PantsuJo]

CTR ... Oh boy, it's happening.

OH BOY

Pre-show most likely.

If they do this with online then holy shit.

I never thought this glorious day would come.

 

[mrlion]

More E3 surprises gone...

Why would they announce this at E3? This is something that's not going to be noticed, E3 is a crazy week.

 

[PantsuJo]

I'd buy a CTR + Crash Bash pack.

Crash Bash was the only good non-ND Crash game, and it deserves the same treatment the original trilogy is getting.

I agree, i loved Crash Bash. Man, nostalgia is hitting hard

[Caronte]

Please be true.

 

[Tizoc]

Also,

Spoiler

Coco

is playable in the trilogy.

Man. Look. Just give it to me.

And then give me CTR.

Just inject it all.

Could you elaborate please? This was one of my most wanted stuff to be done.

 

[themagicalkitsune]

lol no

watch it be a nod to the series and never commented on.

 

[TransTrender]

Preorder the deluxe edition now so you can get CTR stuck behind a paywall with maps that were part of the core game as DLC for an additional $14.99 and augment your racer with additional Crash Drops to defeat your foes online with craftable upgrades and gain those Mountain Dew and Doritos brand achievements!

For money!

CTR? CTR is something that's going to "not be noticed?"

I wonder simply graphic lift without touching the gameplay and handling can hold up for current kart racing standard.

 

[FataIChoice]

If N. Oxide is still not playable in this I'm gonna be mad.

 

[EGOMON]

CTR online announcement will be my megaton and I don't need anything else from Sony

 

[wrestleman]

I wonder simply graphic lift without touching the gameplay and handling can hold up for current kart racing standard.

If they added new tracks and characters and online modes, absolutely, IMO. But that comes down to the same issue as Crash 1-3... is the original engine something that has salvageable code to begin with?

 

[Spinx]

Penta Penguin hyyyyyype.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

If N. Oxide is still not playable in this I'm gonna be mad.

N.Brio and Koala Kong first!

 

[octopiggy]

Not sure if I agree that this "teases CTR pretty heavily".

I mean the trophy list is cool but not something announced at E3.

 

[LAA]

Just CTR would be a bit light for retail. It would be a nice $15 download only title, though.

Did think that too yeah, but..this is activision. Though to be fair, the crash trilogy is around £25 which is fair, so maybe it will.

I suppose the choices are to have CTR priced reasonably cheap, or to add more content to it compared to the original game. Think it would be very cool to have a competitor for Mario Kart back again.

Problem with the CTR possibility for me is.. I then have to acknowledge the Spyro Trilogy is less likely to be happening, which.. I would realllly love, I place the Spyro Trilogy higher than the Crash trilogy for me.

 

[black070]

Could it be the E3 Crash surprise Activision teased ?

 

[Sidewinder]

CTR is a megaton holy crash

If true it'd be far bigger to me than Crash Trilogy, CTR was one of my absolute GOAT on PS1, but please don't screw it up.

 

[damien1928]

I don't want to look but can anyone confirm it has 3 platinum trophies? 1 for each crash

 

[wrestleman]

Not sure if I agree that this "teases CTR pretty heavily".

It makes total sense for them to meaninglessly use a bunch of CTR's snarky commercial jokes for the trophies to 1-3 when 1-3 also had snarky TV commercials with similarly snarky jokes at the ready that would be more relevant, I agree :V

Honestly, this isn't even the teasiest stuff they've done with CTR recently.

I mean the trophy list is cool but not something announced at E3.

Oh, I got you. Yeah, I don't think so either.

Spoiler

Coco will be.

3 Separates, yes.

 

[wapplew]

I want a modern CTR evergreen title like OW or Rocket league more tbh.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

yes

 

[Button]

CTR Online would be a game changer.

 

[bebop242]

Omg CTR is life. Megaton if true. Please be true.

 

[FataIChoice]

N.Brio and Koala Kong first!

N. Oxide was at least in the game to begin with and such a tease that you couldn't actually unlock him.

If we are looking at other characters though, I'd like them to add Tawna as playable and also have the hidden characters as playable in adventure mode.

 

[wrestleman]

I want a modern CTR ever green title like OW or Rocket league more tbh.

Would be more than happy to have an evergreen Crash game, just not sure how you'd turn CTR into that reliably without a somewhat steady flow of new tracks or characters/modes.

 

[Retro Edge]

[darkinstinct]

Sony wants a piece of that Mario Kart pie.

Activision

 

[Gurish]

Fuck wish the surprise wasn't ruined, it would melt faces seeing it and hearing about it at E3 for the first time, I don't like it when surprises are ruined just a day before the event.

Nevertheless these are great news.
