Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy will be on PS4 first, NOT neccessarily an exclusive title

According to a tweet by Playstation Ireland earlier today, it was reiterated that the Crash Bandicoot remasters will launch on the PS4 and PS4 Pro on June 30th, 2017. However, they also clarified that it was just being released for those consoles first. This heavily implies that the trilogy won't be exclusive to Sony as many of us previously thought.

It should be noted that neither Sony nor Naughty Dog are developing or publishing Crash Bandicoot anymore. The remastered game is being developed by Vicarious Visions and published by Activision. As far as the general public knows, there are no legal restrictions barring them from releasing the game on multiple platforms.

I...but...they...PlayStation Ireland said they were PS exclusives. Now they went back on that? Okay then. I suppose since Sony and Naughty Dog have no ownership of the IP, then it makes sense for it to come to other platforms. I wonder if we'll get a switch port.
Yup, they posted the exclusivity tweet but then quickly deleted it. A lot more money to be made by going multiplat. I'd be surprised if this didn't come to Switch and XB1.

Considering Crash has been multiplat for about 15 years, I'm not terribly surprised. I do hope that Activision will be arsed to bring it to Switch though. 2017's already shaping up to be the best year for Nintendo owners this past decade. OG Crash Bandicoot would enhance it further.

No it'll be a ps exclusive. It's just one word on a tweet by a dude va actual word

Actually I believe it was a correction to a previous tweet where they stated it was exclusive, and then deleted it and changed the wording to "first".
So yeah it's a bit more towards it probably not being exclusive.

Given Sony likely doesn't have exclusive rights to the series anymore it's not really that surprising if Activsion spreads it farther. More platforms = more money. Simple math.

I dunno why, recently i tried playing the crash games, and i don't seem to like it as much, i even had crash 3 warped for my birthday when, now i play it and just seem like "Wow, what a tedious game, collect the crystals, get all boxes to get gems, complete time trials for relecs." All for 100%

I also hope this one has better controls for 3D cause it was hard to control him, he would slip and slide everywhere and instead of just turning straight around, 180 he would walk in a circle to turn around, and the stages, like the water, and flying plane and coco. :nayps3:

The gba isn't any better, playing mini games for bonus completion as well. Seem like a rip off based on banjo-kazooie. :hateit:
Try Twinsanity.

I doubt is fair to compare crash bandicoot to sonic adventure. Besides, sonic adventure has 2 players, and is fun. Sure collection emblems is a tedious task, but least is rewarding..... (Except they are all score based and people play sonic games for speed and platforming, not high scores, nice problem sega.:glare: )

Why do people play crash games? I dunno, my guess is the platforming aspect, for story, isn't very exciting. (Neither is sonic) But least gameplay is alright, the objectives i cannot agree with, it kinda reminds me of rayman, but that game is a lot harder to finish.:unsure:

I'm a little confused. I don't see how collecting the emblems in SA/SA2 is somehow more rewarding than collecting the crystals, smashing all boxes, or completing time trials in Crash. They're both side objectives for completionists (like myself) but I don't see how one is more rewarding than the other as neither give any in-game benefits.

In sonic adventure 2 you can unlock green hill zone. In crash, you get nothing for 100%

I wouldn't believe what Playstation ireland tweet, since it's not the first time they tweeted something stupid.

Yes Activision owns the rights to Crash, but Sony still owns some rights to the first 3 games, which is what this remake is based on.

Plus, at E3 2016, they did say that they were working with their partners at Activision to bring this. Which means they're involved directly, which means it's exclusive.
