Remember guys, Crash was never big, nobody cared about him.
I will never, ever forget those who are now eating crow.
This is great news! Let's keep pushing for more Crash!

Some people tend to judge every platformer by how it compares to a Mario game.Any 3D platformer that wasn't blessed by the god hands of Miyamoto or Koizumi aren't worth it, I suppose. That's what it sometimes feels like here on GAF.
It's gameplay sought out the demographic it wanted to attract 20 years ago. Hence why it's popular again. I mean prior to the Trilogy it was selling well on PS1 PSN sales.
Dated my bum.

Hah, what a hit. This is some gourmet crow that is being served up. Michelin star shit.I will never, ever forget those who are now eating crow.
Congrats Crash.
CTR soon, please.
Time for Spyro.
I can almost see CTR's logo on my PS4 dash now. Look at it. It's glorious!

Crash's problems aren't only linearity. It's clunky controls are what pissed me off back in the day. People saying activision dropped the ball with the crash franchise forget all the games they put out that weren't very good. This trilogy is selling well because of nostalgia for the original games at a great price.Some people tend to judge every platformer by how it compares to a Mario game.
Crash is more linear than Mario 64.
Sonic the Hedgehog's controls are less precise than Super Mario World.
But the thing is, these characteristics aren't inherently bad. Linearity in Crash gives it a focused platforming identity. Sonic's momentum-based physics reward skill with speed. And the same goes for other beloved platforming games like Donkey Kong Country, Rayman, Spyro, Banjo Kazooie, etc. I have no problem with disliking these games' qualities on their own merits, but so many times they're judged poorly simply because they're different from some Mario game.
Mario is a critically acclaimed, popular series that is responsible for the existence of the platformer genre. But that doesn't mean it should be the perfect model every platformer needs to match.

This news makes me very happy.
This is pretty awesome for the IP in general. Should be interesting to see what the inevitable PC and Xbox numbers will do.

You're out of your mind.
You're late to the meme too, enjoy your freshly served crow.
PS: Linearity is not a problem. Go play your generic fetch filled open world games.

Cash it in, Sony.
Nobody cares about Crash. They weren't even good games. It's all nostalgia.
My five year old has been bugging me to get this!
What crow is there to serve? I never said the game wouldn't sell well. I also never said I disliked the games.You're out of your mind.

GTAV is also higher priced than Crash.revenue wise it was 4th place in the US. GTA V made more revenue.
lolIt's just the nostalgia getting to him.

If it's a similar remake I guess next year is possibleWhen we can expect CTR?
Yup should've added some crafting, skill trees and of course an always online open world with loot boxes ✌I can't believe it... I just can't 😔
The gameplay is so dated
Sooner rather than later.When we can expect CTR?
I never would have expected over 400k units for Crash.
Crazy how it rallied people.
Probably uncharted 4

Posting from the NPD thread -
I'm looking at the actual sales number for Crash and I'm genuinely in disbelief, like is this an error.
Granted its £30 but even so for a June/July launch, that is a hell of a total.
It's already outsold MK8D and it should eclipse Zelda by next week. Insane....
