Tomb Wader is likely winning because there's a contingent of the Crash fanbase that wants to see the official game stomp on that UE4 fangame from a while back.

How the fuck is Tomb Wader winning. Scratch that, I'm not okay with just any choice, lol. It's not gonna look very different from Temple Ruins, which we've already seen:


Come on people! Future fucking Frenzy!! Don't you want to see this in glorious HD?

The only people I can think of choosing that are people who love to play Death Run. No reason to not choose Future Frenzy.

This looks really great! I never played the first two Crash games but Warped was one of my favorite PS1 titles, so I can't wait to see some footage of it. Preferably Future Frenzy.

I know that they're going for the zany-cartoony different eye pupil size thing, but Crash just looks cracked-out here.

In the spirit of fans-that-annoy-devs-because-they-think-they-know-better, here's my 10 cent edit:



That feels better. The rest of the covers are pristine.



Oh that's easy, Future Frenzy for sure. Although any pick would be fine.

Thanks, I like your edit better as well. I thought the eyes were off the moment I saw it. That said, still a pretty great set of covers from VV!

So hyped! Got this preordered already. It's been almost consistently in the top 40 on Amazon since it released. This will be big, I know several people who even bought a PS4 for this.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
This trilogy was my childhood. I used to go to my neighbours house everyday to play it and we'd try to get as far as we could since he didnt have any memory cards. Despite playing it hundreds of times, we never actually beat the games.



Just noticed something in the new art...

Holy shit I didnt notice that
 
I'm not on the pulse of the larger Crash fanbase, but what a bizzare, petty thing to fixate on.

Well, I couldn't care less myself (and I honestly expect Future Frenzy to pull ahead) but as someone who pretty much knows everything that goes on with Crash, the guy in charge of that game did it to himself by being, to use your wording, 'bizarre and petty' himself.

He deleted negative comments, would go and verbally abuse critics of his videos with strange guilt trippy comments and was generally very braggy. If someone criticized his game he would track down their art/games/etc and make retaliatory comments. This was something he publicly admitted to doing. One person I know posted a generally polite critique and he replied "I see you're making a Crash 2 mod. Expect negative comments later". Publicly. On the video comments.

He also strangely released what he called a "tech demo" for people to "test" for him, but despite already uploading video of two I-suppose-you'd-say-complete levels, the "demo" was 1.3 GB in size and contained a 15-second chunk of one level. He insisted that the game needed all the included files to run, which was clearly a heinous lack of optimization. He said it was unavoidable and it wasn't possible to cut down. Shortly after, he released a 750MB "Beta" that had the full level, so he must have achieved it through magic. It was locked behind an account system that made you register with an email.

He was just a strange, strange dude.

So I can see how he would have rubbed people the wrong way. Personally I have no qualms.

Why wouldn't the best Crash 3 level be winning?

While I also prefer the EU cover, today is my first time seeing it. I played the hell out of WARPED and remember tho NA cover fondly.

Future Frenzy uses quite a lot of tricks on the PS1 to keep that look, so of course I want to see how the HD version is shaping up.

Not at all since it's still Activision? lol

Unless you mean the "out of the trash bin" that is not visible in that image, in which case yeah.

I would still consider it Sony taking Crash out of the bin.

They probably specifically asked Activision to do this otherwise they wouldnt have.

Those look great. Subtle but I did notice the slight artwork change.

So hyped for this. Even the Mrs has been asking me when this releases!

Activision had NO interest in bringing it back. It was all Sony's doing despite Activision actually owning it. More like PlayStation fans bugging Sony about it and the fact it sells a ton on PSN still to this day!

Shit I'm so excited for this


Like, I desperately want Injustice and my fighting game friend desperately wants me to get that or SFV but... I'm more excited to see crash warped in hd than I should be

There's actually (or rather, there should be) zero debate about this. It has been outright stated that Sony came to Activision with the project.

I voted Tomb Wader because I really like that level, but now I'm really curious how Future Frenzy will look. Hope they release footage of all three soon!

And although it's not one of the voting options, I'm actually really interested to see how Area 51 turns out. It's like the only level I can't visualize in the current art style for whatever reason.
