Yep.
Sony likes money, Activision likes money, I'm pretty sure they will be able to come to terms on a deal after the success of the Crash trilogy.

It seems all of my friends are hopping on the nostalgia bandwagon. It's amazing to see.
He's mocking the people who said that about crash before it released.

I want the dream to come true!
I'd love to see Twisted Metal 1, 2 and Black get a similar treatment and implement the online portion of Black and you got yourself another nostalgia heavy trio of still very fun games
and 3 doesn't count because it sucked and would be a waste of money

Yes they do, but these were not just platformers, these games were the best platformers on PS1, commercially and critically...
I'm not sure Banjo and any other platformer sold or were reviewed as well, except Spyro....Let's put it like this, if you owned a PS1 and did not play crash, you did something wrong. Everybody knows Crash, he was Sony's mascot in the mascot era...
So yes, MS should get unto their platformers for variety, but there's a lot going for crash here...notwithstanding that the remake is just excellent.

It also illustrates how misplayed Playstation All-Stars was. If done right it would've been a big deal. It actually still could be if Sony properly invested into the project.

Well deserved, they did a good job with the remasters and sold them at a good price.

I am so happy that this gane exists and is doing well. It shows that people have a thirst for 3d platformers despite publishers thinking otherwise. Hopefully spyro and some brand new platformers are on the way next.

How much do you guys think CTR standalone will be? $19.99 I'm guessing. Will buy in a heartbeat.
CTR will be paired with Crash Bash I imagine. I hope so anyway. Would be amazing if it did what Mario Party is still yet to properly do and have online multiplayer too.
For the Players Since 1995

Anyone remember this ad? Even Sony realizes the power of nostalgia in the UK

This is great news. It's much deserved.
Looking forward to the first week sales in the US.

That's great... didn't think it would sell nearly that well. I'm not a huge fan of Crash but I'm excited for a major success for platformers. I'll probably pick this up when it gets cheaper.

Great to see that Crash is doing well. Don't have a PS4 ATM so I can't join on the Crash train, unfortunately.
Um, Vicarious Visions? The fact that their remaster trilogy is doing well in reviews and sales right now arguably puts them as the most qualified for the job. They've also made past Crash games in the past before the remaster (including the Crash DLC pack for Skylanders); it's not like they don't have any experience in making a non-original Crash game.

I'm honestly kinda shocked. I am glad there is so much appetite for bright colorful platformers.

Please though for the love of god if and when Spyro gets remastered do not make him look like this abomination

Saw some dudes on Facebook saying Horizon would bomb because of the "Ugly Female" lead...last time I read facebook comments. Don't need any less faith in humanity.
Any other platformer? Mario says hello and Donkey Kong 64 sold 5.2 million and reviewed roughly as well as Crash. Banjo also reviewed just as well as Crash, according to Gamerankings actually better. Sales were lower though, but 3.6 millions units (according to wiki) was very respectable with the limited N64 install base. Crash games were at 6.8 million for the first one and the sequels at 5.1 and 5.7 (again according to Wiki).
EDIT: The first Rayman also sold and reviewed pretty well well (I see different figures, not sure which to believe).
In fact they should be doing more single player games in general, but it's at least nice to see something like Super Lucky's Tale, even if it's obviously low budget.
And yes, the Crash remake is excellent. My GotY so far
Hell yes, Medieval was my game back when I was younger, so many memories.

That good to hear. Crash 2-3 were my favorite games on ps1.

None of the Crash PS1 games outsold Mario 64 worldwide.
This collection will not outsell Odyssey globally, unless it gets bundled with PS4s in the future. And even then, it's far from a guarantee.
Will this collection outsell Odyssey in the UK? Almost certainly.

WTF...why? You're mad a game people worked on is doing well in a hobby you enjoy? Insert CHANG photo here lol.
Making a remaster is a pretty different beast then making a whole new game though. You don't need to design levels for example and level design is probably the single biggest aspect of a platforming game that determines if it is good or not. I didn't knew they made some earlier crash stuff though, was it any good? Heard nothing but bad things about the non ps1 crash games.
You're saddened that people are happily buying and enjoying a game? Oh well.
Wipeout, Tekken, Micro Machines and (McRae) Dirt 3 all releasing in close proximity helps too!
For turning on the PS4? If so, it looks like that's from a different video.
There are like 3 or 4 gifs similar to this one, and I'm sure one of them is based on that ad. I could be wrong tho. It has been a while lol.
You think? UK may be PlayStation land, but Mario is Mario. Plus unlike Crash, Mario will have a long tail. It always does.
