The mobile games are actually different games, unless you're talking about a direct port. But, as far as I know, Team Racing is regarded to be as good as the main trilogy, so I guess people like the game a lot.

But yeah, a TwinSanity remake would be great to fix all the original game's flaws.

Was the dumb GameStop keychain bonus mentioned here yet? I was waiting until a physical pre order bonus popped up so I could get the game. It's of Aku Aku btw.

Vicarious Visions discusses possibility of future Crash games (Including CTR remaster), and hints at addition of cut content from the original games in N. Sane Trilogy.

One has to wonder how many current Vicarious Visions employees were part of the Crash Nitro Kart team? I'd imagine it's in the single digits but, hey, we can't say they don't have experience making a multiplatform Crash racing game. I recall liking Nitro Kart quite a bit... especially those smexy FMV's. XP

As to the unused content, I'd be totally down for it... unless Activision is going to step in and put is up as some sort of premium DLC thingamajig. I realize Crash is a platformer, but the way Acti handles their CoD games of late (Modern Warfare Remastered, anyone) I'm still leery of them stepping in and imposing something that will kill the hype. <.<;

Oooooh, man!
Cut content already included would be fantastic: I remember at least 2 levels scrapped from the first game, but I'll admit my ignorance here.

What really gets me hyped is thinking about a potential Spyro Trilogy remake in view of the above: imagine all those unused or closed bits, such as certain areas of the levels, or the scrapped Machinist world from the first game or (dare I say) even a fourth homeworld for Spyro 2!
I'm sorry, I know this is extremely off-topic, but wouldn't it be awesome?

That pre-order bonus is also quite cool, makes me think about buying it from GameStop.

What would be awesome about a Spyro remaster is if they actually coupled the music with the levels properly. Apparently Stewart Copeland intended each individual soundtrack to be placed with specific levels but the designers just didn't give a flyin' fig and put 'em wherever.

EDIT: That being said, what made a lot of levels so memorable was the music, so if they did shuffle the tracks around it'd probably only serve to piss a lot of people off.

Yeah, it's difficult to balance between nostalgia (not meaning it in a bad way) and a possible better result.
I heard a lot of people complaining about the pinkish sky in Gone Tomorrow and Future Frenzy but I personally prefer it a lot.

Didn't knew the music was choosen so randomly, even though the repeated tracks in the non-Greatest Hits version should have been a hint to that, but yeah it does fit most of the times.
Maybe they could give the option to choose between the original soundtrack and the new one.

Uh, I don't think Activision owns the right to the original Spyro games' music. Nor does Sony. Or Insomniac for that matter. I think, unlike Crash, those rights are with Stewart Copeland. Maybe they would get him back to arrange/update his own music?

I'd say if that were the case he'd hopefully be willing to lend the rights to at least put his soundtracks where he originally intended 'em to be, if nothing else.

I feel they would do that. If they plan to put the same amount of care with Spyro as with Crash, they wouldn't want to change something like the soundtrack, since it's so important to the experience.

I simply couldn't imagine the original Spyro trilogy without its soundtrack.

Just look at how the people reacted for a few adjustements to the Crash one.
I'm sure Copeland would come back to remake it, or just lend the rights to the developers: he truly loved working on those games back in the 90s (sudden Bojack flashback), guess he would be more than happy to help again.

Quick news:

But asking is out of question? I'm sure he'd lend them over, for a price or not. But doesn't Crash just use a remade versions of the music? I agree they would just remake them.

Anyway...
What does everyone think of Stormy Ascent and other cut levels? You think they will be added? I think so...

It does. However, I think Universal (now ActiBlizz) took the rights to the Crash trilogy's music. From what I've seen on Josh Mancell's Twitter, he wasn't consulted at all. And he's released versions of the original games' music from before they were sequenced to fit on the PSX disc anyway. <.<;

But that's besides the point. I've liked the updated instrumentation for most of what I've heard. I'm guessing someone within Vicarious Visions is doing this? Because if they'd actually gotten a well-known composer, we surely would have known about it by now.

In a recent interview, one of the producers said to the fans to "wait and see" regarding scrapped levels. So I guess it's possible.

My gut tells me maybe they'll be DLC.

I feel like they would just add it, but they will make one DLC, Crash Team Racing for $15 seems reasonable.

So I played the demo for this at Gamestop, and it was really fun (even though I honestly sucked at it.) I was thinking that for my birthday I might treat myself to a PS4 and the game. Maybe. I have to see what's going on with Skylanders first.

No demo at any GS or BB in sight. Anyone else?

So I'm gonna get a PS4 this summer along with this game.

YEET

Special Crash announcement at E3, guys!

What could it be?
Special Edition (unlikely, since the game will be out in a couple weeks and a lot of people already preordered it)?
XBOX ONE or Scorpio and Switch versions?
More remakes, like Team Racing, The Wrath of Cortex or Twinsanity?
Brand new game...?

PLEASE BRING BACK TWINSANITY
I LOVE THAT GAME LIKE IT'S MY OWN CHILD

I'm predicting new DLC, the announcement of a bundle of sorts, or the announcement of more remakes, but that last point seems unlikely.

Either way, now that Skylanders is most-likely dead, I'm fully focusing my attention on this.

It'll probably regarding bringing back cut levels through the trilogy or something.

Didn't consider potentials DLCs (though it's probably me wanting everything inside the game, for once).
As much as I love Twinsanity, I'd rather see The Wrath of Cortex done properly, even though the former could have the possibility to finally bring back the tons of cut content.

Not a bad idea, but that doesn't seem special enough to warrant a big announcement.

I'm not expecting anything too big. In fact, I think the biggest thing they might show is cut stages, Coco gameplay and maybe something multiplayer.

They wouldn't announce that now since it's a one year exclusive to PS4.

Did they confirm it?
Thought it was just a rumor due to some GameStop listings, if I remember correctly.

It is still a rumor. The banner was "confirmed fake".

If it is a timed exclusive then ActiBlizz gambled. Yes, they're technically publishing it, but Sony owns the publishing rights to the original versions. So, they would have to shell out royalties to Sony just to put the games on Xbone, Switch, or PC. If that is happening, Acti must be very confident that they can recoup those losses with Crash sales on other platforms. <.<

This. I'd still want to play it in the unfortunate event where they'd replace the music tho.

Crash's First 4 Figures official trailer:

Is that repurposed Imaginators packaging?

Ikr? It's very similar to it. Might be a coincidence because I'm pretty sure Acti didn't directly make this

Now to see how much bank that would break...

Hope it's at least twice as cheap as the Sonic 25th Statue, or the Sonic ones in general.
