And to add, Activision won't lose much from making it multiplat.

Probably a contractual thing.
Not that it hasn't been obvious as hell from the start anyway.

Well it obviously benefits Sony or they wouldn't keep doing it.

Disappointed that they didn't make it clear from the start?

For sure shits straight up disgusting. They haven't even discussed this game being on other systems when it's clearly a moneyhat. This might be the worst and ugliest moneyhat I ever seen

It's gonna be fine, stay strong!
Lol...Hopefully it comes over to Xbox One. I'd really love to play it during the holidays.
It's always "them agains us"...
It wouldn't make even sense to care about it from a fanboy perspective, especially after being released exclusively on one platform. PC and Xbox releases would make sense and is beneficial to everyone.
Man it feels to me like there's been no backlash at all with the way this game has been handled. It's a game for which the timed exclusivity has been kept secret and I've seen this happen to other games with a lot more noise (like Dead Rising 4 or Rise of the Tomb Raider, Inside, etc...). I guess Rise is its own aninmal in terms of being a bad idea but I know with Dead Rising 4 and Inside we found out really really quick that those games would eventually come to PS4.
Personally I am really really annoyed that the timed exclusivity is secret for Crash.
And actually we don't even really know at this point. Just speculating.
Fuck, why the he'll aren't Activision just coming out and saying whether or not this is timed exclusive or not? Just spit it out for goodness sake. Where are the journalists that should be asking Activision this question?

Seems like an even shittier version of Neir on PC not being acknowledged until the day of release essentially.
The best guess is Sony $$$$

Reminds me of how Diablo 3 wasn't confirmed for Xbox one until close to release. These tactics for console sales are disgusting and should not be accepted
Well ya see, people are hypocrites

Well Tomb Raider at least isn't an apples to apples comparison. These crash games are remakes of PS1 games not the new game in a long running multiplatform series.
Not to defend how this has been handled, because it sucks, it just doesn't seem the same to me.

Why?

...lacks reading comprehension.
Bandicoot went multiplatform with Wrath of Cortex and will stay like that.

I haven't been keeping up with all this but i simply presumed it was releasing on other platforms this holiday.
What with the new updated crash being in skylanders and being popular on wii u and xbox.
I had no idea this was still being kept a secret but i'm guessing it's due to a contract with sony which is only fair i guess given the trilogy origins are so tied with playstation but it's good to see it coming to other platforms.
Hope it sells well so we might see the developers try their own original platform game with the experience and the funds to back them up.

Neither Sony or Acti have been using the word "exclusive"
You already have your answer

cos it doesn't matter?
There's no PS branding on it, so no one at any corporate level is going to raise an eyebrow.
There have been late PC ports from PS platforms that still have PS elements in them (e.g. the new PC port of Danganronpa UDG has PSVita references in it)
Umm...why?? =/

PC version obviously
not
I'm also disappointed because I could've waited to buy the Xbox version instead

Pretty obvious x more obvious after the huge success it's had since releasing
The years and years of people wanting Crash had the price high and Sony wasn't going to pay for that to have it be exclusive or own the property
Activision loves money, the price was too much
Expect switch x Xbox one x pc by the end of the year

There's a portrait with Nathan Drake on it in Crash 3. Wonder what would replace it if it went multi-platform.
Uncharted 4 is why i bought the remaster no kidding i found that little gameplay segment very fun in that game. And a pretty neat way to reference the crash games. Never played the ps1 games ever before.

I, too, am disappointed that other people have to wait longer to enjoy these games.

Welp. If it comes to Switch I'll get it on that, if not, PC it is. Glad I didn't have to buy a PS4 after all.
I expect Xbox and PC, but the first one I have my doubts on.

I love Pokken!
Who cares? I didn't see anyone complaining about the GameCube being present in Resident Evil HD

Skylanders was already on switch so I dont see why this wouldnt.

Good luck Xbox gamers... you will need it.
Fair enough. My doubts come from the multiple games announcements of as late that have skipped out on Switch. Hopefully I'm wrong.

I hope you're wrong as well. I do however feel like this would be running SubHD if it did get on Switch.

The HD ports modified the image slightly so it was more of a vague looking machine and not directly tied to the Gamecube design.
This is what it looked like originally:
Though it was quite a small touch-up. I could see them doing some small edits here and there in the same style if porting it over to other platforms so it looks more like a generic device than a memory card.

It doesn't even have Exclusive on the box. Stuff like the memory card and Nathan Drake can easily be swapped out. Hell they probably already have the other versions done and are just sitting on them.
Don't @ me. I got the game on PS4 and already beat it.

Some random Youtuber is evidence - what...
Just saying...
Because Activision haven't announced any of their upcoming releases are getting Switch versions maybe?
PC and Bone might be 'safe' assumptions, but I don't think Switch is.
