Well there it is. Wonder when the other versions are going to be released.
Most likely.
They didn't print this banner for no reason. And yes, I know they later said it was a "mistake".
This trend of not releasing all versions at the same time needs to stop. I know it's paid exclusivity in this case, but come on. Everyone knows they have the PC version ready to ship (60 FPS trailers!), but they won't let us have it.
Rockstar is the worst when it comes to this (even though it's for a different reason). GTA V - buy it on PS3, buy it on PS4, buy it on PC. RDR2 is going to be the same (no PC version at release). Fuck that.

I actually believe the year exclusivity is real. Basically the same as Goldeneye Wii.

Well, that's nice. It's going to be odd seeing Crash on Steam, I've always seen it as an exclusive franchise.

Why? Only the PS1 games were exclusives. Everything after that was multiplatform.
Welcome to NeoGaf.
Sony
Nintendo
Some of the people who swore their life to this game staying exclusive are now pretending that this news doesn't shock them.
Also, when RoTR was announced as exclusive for Xbox, a large part of the forum made a big fuss about it, spamming the devs and publishers with "we need clarity!! Is it a timer exclisive?? Be honest!!!" etc, pressuring even Phil Spencer into answering if RoTR would come to PS or not. If only I would have seen that passion for finding the answer for this game. Oh well, can't say I'm surprised.

Cartoonish in style but still an actual representation (not that I care or which platform(s) it's released on).

Gimmie 60fps on PC, baby! (I mean, I already bought it on PS4, so let me spend more money!)

These ones remade have always been exclusive though.
I think they will most likely release Crash N.Sane Trilogy on Battlenet if Destiny 2 will be a success.
Probably, even COD 2018 will be on Battlenet.
Some of them are even 60 fps.

Yeah, cause Activision never cared about rereleases. And the post I quoted said the Crash franchise.

I know this, I'm just saying that it appeared like an exclusive franchise because the first couple games were. Glad that it's not though, means I can play it now that it's coming to Steam.

I hope this is sarcasm.
Lmao
Are you serious or what? Do you really think Activision will agree to keep Crash an exclusive title for PS4?
There were looots of people yelling at others for entertaining the idea it might come to other consoles, especially at people who would want a Switch version.
"Everybody who thought this wasn't PS exclusive needs to eat crow!" as a mild example and other bs.
Lmao exactly.
Yeah god help us if anybody but PS4 owners and rabid Sony fanboys would be able enjoy these games. The insanity!

So much truth in this post. I said something similar earlier in the thread too. The fact that there isn't a campaign on Twitter or on journalist web sites tells me two things:
1) Xbox fans aren't as passionate about anti-consumer stuff as other fanbases (which is really not a good thing).
2) Other fanbases don't give a shit about something being anti-consumer in general - the only thing that matters is whether or not the game is coming to their console of choice.
Which could explain why the passion against Rise's deal is nowhere to be found with Crash. The people who cried about Rise don't necessarily care if something is anti-consumer - they just wanted the game on their platform.
So because of this it looks like Sony is going to get a huuuuuuge pass on these shenanigans. Crash is a de facto secret timed exclusive and no one is going to make any noise about it. The blame falls on both sides I guess. The hypocrites on one end and the Xbox fanbase on the other end.
But it's not anti profit lol I mean with Crash and that Summer Play initiative they did just have one heck of a June!
I'm really curious what this means for a CTR game which is a Sony property. Will Sony make their own game and can they with Activation owning the Crash name and characters or will they come to some compromise? I'm confused and excited!

As long as it doesn't have Sony Playstation markings I guess. I mean, didn't the xbox 360 port of Banjo Kazooie keep the gameboy in the save select screen?
I mean, it currently is.
... What.

More games are always better, but I wouldn't buy this if it came to xbone. I didn't liked the originals that much back then and this remaster seems to have broken physics on top of that.
But honestly in this case there's nothing justifying it not being 60fps even on base ps4, except for the graphical fidelity,which is easier to accommodate for 60fps specially on more powerful consoles. (like pro and X)
It's funny. I still have huge doubts this is going to get ported to the Switch, yet the Crash and Cortex Skylanders work on the Wii U and Switch versions of Imaginators.
Still can't believe that that is possible...technically it's a Mario/Crash crossover
Or it could just be different people ? Lol.

Regarding 1) Xbox fans are just not a big user base to have their voice known, many probably are not Xbox fans after the xbone reveal. Even here when you try to voice the concern or point out the hypocrisy you get shut down by condescending posts or so many gold medalists in mental gymnastics coming up with reasons as to why it's OK when Sony does it, so that never reaches a point that anyone has to address.
And it's not just about that game. Any game isn't announced for xbone. Fans complain everyone (who doesn't own an Xbox of course) is like: Bah, the game would never do any good on xbone anyway, just shut up.
Any game is announced for Xbox only and not a ps4 and the developer is making the mistake of their lives and the outrageous is so big that the developer eventually has to confirm the game will release on PS4.

No, he's not.
The massive outcry that occurred with RoTTR is mysteriously absent in this case despite this being a more disgusting, anti-consumer case. In fact, if you look at other threads, people, including myself, have gotten attacked and/or laughed at for implying this will not be exclusive for the obvious plethora of reasons, and people such as TheBeardOfKnowledge would be bending over backwards taking bullets for Sony by defending this action (whilst putting down posters who rightfully inquired about a port).
I don't necessarily agree with the part about Xbox users not being as passionate about anti-consumer practices, because on other sites you see it en masse. It's just here, on Neogaf, Xbox fans are vastly outnumbered and have a very small voice.
His other points remain valid.
Exactly.

I think it's safe to say neogaf favors Sony by far over any of the other console manufacturers. It's why you won't see witchhunts for most of the egregious anti-consumer things(such as this and destiny dlc) that sony does but you will for nintendo/ms.

There's no way in hell the N'Sane Trilogy is anything other than a PS4 exclusive. The bullet-proof reasons why are thus...
- the only successful Crash Bandicoot games are the ones that have been exclusive to PlayStation systems. This is a trend Activision have noticed and won't want to buck.
- there's an image of a PS1 memory card on the save menu.
- the official PlayStation Ireland profile on Twitter said it was exclusive.
- it's selling a boatload on the PS4 so it doesn't need to come to other platforms.
Guys, the more you start to believe the collection is coming to other platforms, the more you'll be disappointed when it doesn't. Let it go.
