Sonic Transformed was basically that.

 

[Sodding_Gamer]

Crash Team Racing Deluxe

All tracks with some bonus ones that VV have developed

Spyro playable with pre-order dlc /jk

But calling it Crash Team Racing Deluxe would be pretty funny.

I'm not sure about VV going on to do Spyro though. I get a feeling from the team that this was a real passion project that they might rather take on a new PS4 Crash game themselves, rather than remaster 3 Spyro games. Could be wrong though.

 

[BBQMan]

No thanks they'll fuck it up somehow.

 

[NateDog]

Yeah they made Nitro Kart and that couldn't touch CTR. Then there was the Tag Team Racing game which I found a bit of a laugh playing co-op but as a racer it wasn't really any good. CTR works and works damn well.

 

[brawly]

Maybe. I feel like if we get a remaster it'll be one n done, whereas a full title (if successful) has more chance of becoming a franchise with further installments every couple of years.

So you think Crash Bandicoot is one and done with the remasters? Obviously not.

 

[Strangelove77]

I'd rather just get Sonic Allstars Racing Transformed on PS4. Add Crash to it if you want I guess.

 

[Bert]

Came in looking for the answer "Crash Bash"

Because that is the real answer.

 

[Tank Jr.]

Sonic and All-Stars Racing Transformed is what OP is looking for.

 

[SNURB]

Or a Spyro remaster/remake because those were good games.

CTR is good too, mind.

Stop it with this bullshit narrative that the Crash games were "never good".

 

[NormalFish]

I'm fine with the original, honestly. Doubt they would do a good job making a new one or remaking it.

 

[MoonsaultSlayer]

I'd like a PlayStation All-stars racer for sure. Imagine Trico being the TLG boy's vehicle for example.

 

[Giga Man]

Crash Nitro Kart was boring to me for some reason, and Crash Tag Team Racing was fun, but I never finished it.

So yeah, I'd rather have a Crash Team Racing remake with additional characters and courses.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Nah, I want the remaster to see it done right then a sequel.

 

[Animagne]

Nitro Kart has been done by Vicarious Visions, it was okay, and they have improved a lot since then. They might as well add all tracks from CTR and Nitro Kart, add matchmaking and a co-op campaign online and that's good enough for 60$ price tag.

 

[Playsage]

Sonic Transformed was basically that.

Plays nothing like CTR

 

[Azure Phoenix]

They already made 2 sequels, and they both sucked. I have no confidence that any developer could put out a Crash kart racer on par with CTR so I'd rather they just did a remake, however even that raises concerns because CTR's drift boost system was absolute perfection and it's doubtful it could be replicated with 100% accuracy.

 

[PSqueak]

They could make the remaster/remake have more characters and tracks.

 

[Falchion]

I'd be down for an expansion of CTR to make it a bigger scope.

 

[Jigorath]

They added a playable Coco to all three Crash games, I assume Vicarious would add extra characters to CTR if they remake it. Jak & Daxter are obvious choices.

 

[Dragon Puncher]

An N'Sane style remaster would be 10 times better than a sequel. Nitro Kart showed that lightning doesn't strike twice when it comes to CTR.

Ditto, I'd much rather a remaster ala N'Sane than a sequel.

 

[sn00zer]

Playstation Team Racing

 

[TheGreatDirector]

I kinda want a Jak X 2 to be honest. That game was a lot of fun in Deathmatch mode.

 

[Weiss]

I'd rather Playstation All Stars Kart.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Playstation Team Racing

I mean Sony already tried Kart Racing twice with ModNation Racers and then LittleBigPlanet Karting.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

How about CTR remaster with additional characters (where the f was Brio?) and tracks. Gameplay exactly the same as it was.

 

[sn00zer]

They forgot the secret sauce

 

[NintendosBooger]

I'd rather Playstation All Stars Kart.

Playstation characters aren't aesthetically or theme consistent with something as juvenile as kart racing. You have Drake, Kratos, bunch of other violent/grim mofos, and you're going to stuff them inside a miniature kart, knees all out to the sides? How do you not laugh at that? It'd be like putting Mario and the gang in a Twisted Metal clone. Kart racing games are heavily mascot dependent, as well, it's not about the racing.

I think you could get awesome kart racing maps from pretty much all of those franchises. I'm not as familiar with GoW, but I disagree with "grim realistic games" being an issue here. You could get some sick/fantastical things from Uncharted imo at least if they spice it up.

 

[tanooki27]

you may be right, but it'd be contingent on the devs capturing some of that special sauce that made ctr more than a stock mascot racing game

 

[Camjo-Z]

They should do a straight CTR remaster so people can enjoy that game again, then let Crash join in for a totally original big-budget PlayStation All-Stars racing game.

I've been saying for a while that they could easily do for Playstation icons what Disney did for their various properties in Infinity:

That kind of unified art style would've worked wonders for All-Stars Battle Royale.

So change the aesthetics of the characters, kind of like how Federation Force chibisized the Metroid universe. I can see that.

Although i think their best bet would be to collaborate with Sega or Capcom, in addition to Activision, to deliver a strong roster. Sony's roster would consist of Sackboy, Jak, Daxter, Ratchet, and Clank. All of whom would be already aesthetically consistent with the kart theme. That's 5 right there. Activision would donate Crash and Spyro, of course. Capcom could throw in Mega Man, Zero, Viewtiful Joe, maybe Chun-Li who'd look cute in almost anything. Or if it's Sega, then Sonic, Tails, Dr. Robo, and Monkey Ball guy.

Now that's an all-star cast!
