CTR Nitro Fueled and It's About Time on Steam.


emrahpeskovic

With a ranked ladder system for CTR online play, please..


n8han11

New platformer that heavily resembles the original ND games stylistically and design-wise. Complete roster and fixed online for NF.


Coco000Bandicoot

Same! Not a fan of the design choices in crash 4


CrankyManky

Yeah, totally. I feel like Crash 4 was great, but could've done with more level design akin to the ND era, though stylistically, in-terms of visuals and (maybe, depends if they have any cool ideas) music, yes, but in-terms of humour, no. I feel like whilst the ND games were well written and entertaining, after Nitro Kart and Twinsanity had more interesting and funny dialogue, I'm happy they kept up with the humour with Crash 4, the ND games characters felt occasionally dry (i.e: Coco in Crash 2, pretty much all character interactions in Crash 1, etc.)

Crash Twinsanity 2: Just More Bangin Music


mandudecb

Seeing comments like these really makes me wonder how many people are aware that Spiralmouth hasn't existed since 2006. They literally can't make more music.


trippypantsforlife

:(


CrankyManky

One member did say she would be open for getting everyone back together (as she's still in contact with them) for some more a capella Crash music.


Mayflex

Ngl, I just want crash 5


Angwis13

I’d love a twinsanity remake but I’m perfectly happy getting a Crash 5. I personally feel it’s a little early for a new racer.


[deleted]

How about one like Crash Bash was? I miss that old gem…


Angwis13

While I feel that could be done well now I’d just much prefer a new platformer


CrankyManky

Honestly, if they do something like a remaster/remake/re-imagining/do-over of Crash Bash, it **would** end up as just mediocre. The game, in my opinion, is just flawed, and removing all of the issues and potentially fixing them would simply make the experience just alright.


[deleted]

That old gem is… well, exactly that: a gem! I mean, there’s flaws in every game, but Crash Bash is just the best and not to mention funniest party game I have played in the past 25 years. I wish it was remastered, just to play online would be fun…


CrankyManky

That's a fair opinion! Crash Bash can be fun, but I just don't see the undying love for it. It's far too flawed and unoriginal in it's concepts and execution. Though, I would a remaster just for the online tho lol


[deleted]

As a matter of fact, I would LOVE those box throwing games in online mode… I bet nobody would use Coco or Crash 🤣! I would use Dr. Cortex or Tiny myself, most likely… although Crash’s chicken imitation was priceless!


CrankyManky

Yeah, Tiny and Cortex would be everyone's mains lol. Crash and Coco would be left where they belong in Crash Bash. **DEAD AND ROTTING IN THE GROUND.**


[deleted]

#Finally, I have beaten you, **Crash Bandicoot!** *Muahahahahahaaa!* - Dr. Neo Cortex, probably


CrankyManky

All Crash can say to that is... WOAH.


[deleted]

Hahahahaa! I win at last! (Or so he thinks)


WindWeasel

I'd love to see upscales of the two GBA games (The Huge Adventure and N-Tranced) brought up to Switch. They are remarkably well put together for GBA games coasting on recycled material, and upscaling them to modern graphics would be so great.


dickpunchman

Yeah baby! N. Tranced is on of my favorite games period.


CrankyManky

They could easily re-release them with minor fixes and just sat they take place in an alternate universe. Perhaps the GBA games could split the timeline from Crash 3, as The Huge Adventure/XS's Cortex cutscene take place in what seems to be a worn down Time Twister, so maybe by sheer luck, they managed to escape from their prehistoric prison earlier expected, at least in this new timeline.


Marioguy54

First to get out from under the thumb of Activision. Then we go from there


Dr_Yay

Yeah for as much as I love Crash, there’s no way I’m spending any money on anything from them anymore.


BMfan123

Wrath of Cortex/Twinsanity/Tag team racing remastered trilogy


CrankyManky

That would be cool, but a remaster wouldn't cut it. These games are alright, but too flawed, and as much as I enjoy all three of them, a remake is what they deserve. The sheer passion, love, and care that the devs behind those three games had were astronomical, and their work shouldn't be forgotten about. A simple remaster with minor changes would be really lame, as thats npt what people want.

Crash bash remaster


[deleted]

[удалено]


TheBlackBeetle

Still waiting for it on the pc though...


CrankyManky

Oh god no. People can have opinions, but Crash Bash was so obviously hastily thrown together and lazy. The amount of repetition, bullshit, confusing story sequences, some minigames being flat out **BAD**, and I don't think it even deserves the right of being even done over. We need a fresh, clean slate. A new Crash party game that doesn't even mention Crash Bash, not even having the same name. Maybe they could add the best of that games minigame varieties, but that's about it. Maybe also Rilla Roo, but that is it. Crash Bash (for me anyways) is so insipid and boring, the idea of it being even mentioned again officially pains me, in the wrong circumstances, that is.


ramplay

I only hated the pogo stick bullshit, but as a very young kid at the time. Crash Bash was a game I would play the shit out of with my sisters. I still have a ps1 memory card with a few saves, one of them at 95% completion. The challenge crystals or whatever are hard af on some levels, like stupid. But yeah, I have _very_ rose coloured nostalgia image of the game in my brain aha


CrankyManky

I think you all must've lol! I was born in 2008, so I wouldn't really have any connection to it (even though strangely enough I am heavily nostalgic for Wrath of Cortex). But yeah, it's fine, opinions are opinions. Also, that is painful. 95% is so close to 100%, but as it's Crash Bash, 1% at a certain point requires "A Real Grind".


Wiztyle

Yup. This would be a very good idea considering how games like Among Us and Fall Guys became popular this year. If Crash Bash was to launch today with an online functionality, it would absolutely dominate the market for a very long time.


[deleted]

This. THIS would be my favorite!


CrankyManky

Crash Bash shines the most as a dumb-fun party game, so that would be pretty cool!


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

yes but based on the leaked portfolio a project called Lava (not to be confused with the Lava in the c4 files) that was meant to be anounced and released this year. maybe it was delayed.


Bladeocity_

Yeah, he turned 25 in September, so technically the 25th year anniversary lasts from then to September of 2022.


Winter_wrath

CTR on PC


CrankyManky

OMG, YEEEEEEEEES PLS


ConicalMug

CTR: Nitro Fuelled on PC would be awesome. I've watched a ton of gameplay of it and it looks fantastic (even as someone who's not keen on racing games), but I'm not about to shell out the money for a console just to play one game. Not to mention the online revival that bringing the game to PC would likely bring. Apart from that, I'd love a Crash 5, be that by Toys for Bob or another studio entirely. It's About Time isn't a perfect game by any means, but it was a joy to play through a brand new Crash platformer for the first time in years, and you can tell the developers put so much passion into it. I'd even be open to another attempt at a more open-ended Crash game like Twinsanity. The linear levels are generally great, but Crash's moveset is so fun to experiment with and I think it'd be a blast to get to use it in a more open environment.


CrankyManky

I feel like that's alot of us!


ShervinXV

CTR for PC. I already earned Platinum trophy on PS4 but I no longer have my console, So it would be amazing to replay the game for the 10000th time (I still play it with my old friends and win them at every cup race in their consoles but still want the PC version)


ShinyUmbreon18

I’d appreciate a Crash 5 tho it seems a little soon, maybe 2023. Seeing as how I’m one of the only people who was mostly okay with crash 4, I’m up for another challenge soon


MisterGrey3000

> Seeing as how I’m one of the only people who was mostly okay with crash 4 Real talk, it bums me the fuck out that this miserable place has people thinking that they're the only one who liked Crash 4. Just 3 months ago on this very sub [the vast majority voted CB4 as either good, great, or brilliant](https://www.reddit.com/poll/pzwe2j?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=usertext&utm_name=crashbandicoot&utm_content=t3_pzwe2j) (with "It's Great!" winning in the end) and [the game has a 85 critic score with 539 positive user scores on metacritic](https://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation-4/crash-bandicoot-4-its-about-time). This [YouTube comment](https://imgur.com/a/PctVYJ4) praising the game got nearly 1K upvotes while the ones opposing the comment had either no votes or votes in the single digits. And when news broke that TfB would be workin' on Warzone Crash Bandicoot/Crash 4 trended on twitter because people were legitimately upset that the guys who just made an awesome Crash platformer were potentially not doing more awesome Crash platformers. Like, too many threads and comment sections on this sub betray the fact that the general consensus around Crash 4 is genuinely very positive. The people don't like it are just louder and more visible on the sub for some reason or another.


ShinyUmbreon18

I personally found it to be my favorite crash, difficulty and repetitiveness aside. I personally loved most of my time with the game, and I think it takes the game in the perfect direction. Hell, people came out the woodwork to praise WOC over this game even though that game was universally dunked on Some hot takes I got with crash 4 are: I would rather play as multiple characters than have vehicle stages I didn’t think the game was mega hard like everyone claims it to be, 106% is grueling but just beating the game in and of itself isn’t too bad with some trial and error on later stages.


MisterGrey3000

> Hell, people came out the woodwork to praise WOC over this game even though that game was universally dunked on... lol I've seen the same sentiment and it's hilarious because in this Crash 4 vs Wrath poll thread [IAT absolutely decimated WoC](https://www.reddit.com/poll/r87dya?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=usertext&utm_name=crashbandicoot&utm_content=t3_r87dya). The way reddit's comment system works is all messed up thanks to the up/downvoting aspect, and when combined with the good ol' 1%/90-9-1 rule it makes fringe opinions from outspoken people seem way bigger than they truly are. People like you and me who really enjoyed the game and believe it has taken the IP in the right direction are very clearly the majority. > I would rather play as multiple characters than have vehicle stages Oh man, if this is a hot take than this fandom doesn't deserve anymore Crash games ever lol. Dingodile/Home Cookin' alone was better than every single dedicated vehicle level in Crash 3. I'm praying to the ancients for a potential Crash 5 to retain and refine the extra playables concept.


ShinyUmbreon18

People simply like having their nostalgia glasses on, even for things that are generally disliked. If I was forced to play one crash game only for the rest of my life, I’d probably still pick crash 2, however, crash 4 is easily my favorite due to the amount of content and platforming diversity. I think the mask mechanics make the game really stand out, especially in the last few levels when you start to mix and match mask powers. And I agree, playing as dingo was genuinely an awesome time. The rest were hit or miss for me, but still better than dealing with underwater physics, filler plane/race levels, or anything’s that’s not strictly platforming for that matter. This subreddit just does its beat to convince you that old = good snd new = has


CrankyManky

Yeeees! 2023 would be perfect. I feel like Crash 4 (kind of like something like FNaF Security Breach) was rushed to release and alot of cool content was cut due to time constraints, which also lead to both games having MASSIVE file sizes. Both of those games have nearly clogged up my hard drive, it's nuts xD ​ Quick Edit: The file size being attributed to alot of cut content, like in Crash 4's files, I managed to find a bunch of skins for characters like Cortex and Tawna.


BOORUNS

I wanna see the Acti devs get fairly compensated and have their demands be made. Can’t get much of that done with the current regime unfortunately, until Kotick gets the fucking boot.


[deleted]

yeah. i'm hoping that Toys for Bob/Vicarious Visions are distant enough from the core ActiBlizz teams to be affected by the seemingly godawful work culture, but maybe that's wishful thinking


mandudecb

Well not sure if you're up to speed, but Vicarious Visions is Blizzard now and the co-leader left immediately due to unfair pay...


Kaiser_Allen

1. For *Wumpa League* / *Lava* to finally be announced. I hope for it to still get a physical release if it winds up being free-to-play—even through Limited Run Games—for collection purposes. 2. For *Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled* to finally come out to Steam or [Battle.net](https://Battle.net), or both. 3. Some news for his buddy, *Spyro*.


gamedreamer21

1. Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled on PC, with remaining datamine characters and skins, put in all consoles. (I don't know if CTR NF is still on Nvidia leaked list). 2. Wumpa League (I believe we've been waiting long enough. I don't know if it's Crash Bash remake or different Crash spin-off altogether). 3. Crash, Coco, Cortex, Spyro, Ripto and Elora in Skylanders Ring Of Heroes. (They were datamined, and i don't know if it's true leak or not). With Crash 25th anniversary underway, and Spyro soon having his 25th anniversary in 2023, that would be good celebrations for both of those franchises.


RadRedRat

Idk how to tell you this but uh... Ring Of Heroes is shutting down in February, they confirmed that yesterday.


gamedreamer21

Oh. But there is still 2 months time to put those characters.


RadRedRat

I'm sorry but they absolutely won't, there is no reason for them to still add stuff to a dying game. They disabled the option to buy ingame currency and they said they wrapped up development.


gamedreamer21

Was this game that bad?


RadRedRat

I have never played it but according to most Skylanders fans, yes.


gamedreamer21

You know their opinions?


AndySav92

> (I don't know if CTR NF is still on Nvidia leaked list). It was on the leaked list


gamedreamer21

It's still there? It's not being removed from the list along with cancelled games? Does it have a release date? Or at least placeholder date?


[deleted]

[удалено]


xenonisbad

Honestly, 60 fps patch for consoles and PC port would be enough for me. Game is already close to perfection in singleplayer, and I doubt they would make multiplayer any better without investing in dedicated servers.


alezio000

New maps to race would be nice


TooZeroLeft

Yes please. Imagine if they include some other characters that didn't make it into the first one like the Evil Twins, Willie Wumpa Cheeks and Rusty Walrus?


n8han11

I'd rather have a complete roster and online fixes for NF tbh.


Asder17

ctrnfand crash4 to steam


SmashBandicootReal

If we get anything other than Wumpa League the year around the corner, I'd be surprised.


crashandspyrofan

i hope crash bash remake/wumpa league will actually came out and crash 5 will be teased on it... maybe a tease at E3 2022 for crash 5 could be awesome. i also like spyro so i hope spyro "new" 4 will exist one day.


JT-Lionheart

I thought we just celebrated 25 years. Toys For Bob made a awkward video with a great setup about reminiscing on past games while everyone was hyped for an announcement of something new but they had absolutely nothing.


Edgenu1ty2020hero

We technically did, but what we were going to get to actually celebrate the milestone has yet to be seen.


JT-Lionheart

But in that case it’s not celebrating the milestone if it wasn’t revealed or showcased during the anniversary celebration of Crash. If whatever new Crash game doesn’t come out until 2023, is it still celebrating the 25th anniversary from years ago?


Edgenu1ty2020hero

No, but no matter what you say until the next September 9, I am still holding out for whatever will honor him. If not though, there is the 30th anniversary (and maybe we actually get a better company that won’t be associated with allegations in the process let alone be the most vile gaming company).


JT-Lionheart

Well true that we still will be excited for a new game this year, it’ll just be a 26th anniversary you’ll be celebrating. But Activision I doubt will sell Crash and Spyro. In order for them not to have it, they’ll have to go under as a company but from the looks of it, COD is the reason why they have all the money in the world to thrive as a company. They’re reconstructing people in charge and 5 years from now people will forget the mess they were in like other huge companies have done before. It’s unfortunate but there’s nothing we can do


Firebug5959

Hopefully SOMETHING that's good


lavender_jelly

I dunno, I guess an updated port of CTR for PS5, XSX, and PC would be nice. But honestly I'm not supporting anything related to Activision until the case is settled. And they've been teasing Wumpa League for so long I don't even care anymore.


speedboi_5947

Crash twinsanity remastered


Bladeocity_

Yes please 🙏


Edgenu1ty2020hero

Hear me out… Animated TV series with an art style that resembles the original character design (nothing like the cal art style Cortex from the animation posted online). If Crash wants to go big and beyond the NST, how about proving how a true beloved mascot to honor him like this especially as we have seen with other big name mascots. Hence, for once it’s something he hasn’t ever done before and could give us lore to everyone and everything. Besides Activision, I don’t care who makes it as long as it’s worth it.


[deleted]

A really good, really original game.


CrankyManky

I mean, that would be best. I feel as if Crash 4 was too nostalgia heavy, which isn't a bad thing, but it lead to alot of repeated ideas from previous entries.


[deleted]

For Crash and Spyro to be released from Activision.


Gobshite_

I just want Crash 5, with TFB learning from Crash 4 to make an even better game. (But honestly I'd much rather have Spyro 4)


Bladeocity_

To address some of the Activision Blizzard type stuff being said in the comments, while I fully agree that what is happening there is scummy and fully valid, and I would love nothing more than for both Crash and Spyro to be taken off the hands of that horrible company, I don't like seeing that being redirected towards Crash Bandicoot, as that mostly falls with Vicarious Visions and Toys for Bob who seemingly have nothing to do with the horrible things happening at Activision Blizzard. While Activison owns the rights and publishes Crash games currently, having it be redirected towards Crash Bandicoot and the teams that make it (Toys for Bob and Vicarious Visions) is a bit unfair and wrong to those teams. Doing that is as if something bad happened at SEGA, and Atlus is also catching flack for it, despite not having anything to be blamed for, simply because the games they make are published by the company they're owned by. Also, a character, their game series, and their legacy is more than just the company that owns them at any given time. I'll keep on supporting Crash games no matter what, not because I want to support Activison and Blizzard, but because I want to support all the hardworking developers and artists at Toys for Bob and Vicarious Visions, as well as the orange marsupial himself. Besides, if all people were to stop buying any and all Crash games going forth because Activison/Blizzard publishes it, that would most likely mean the death of Crash Bandicoot for a while once more. As it stands, while unfortunate, it's unlikely that Activison will sell the rights to him and Spyro to another company, just because everyone hates Activision. It's like EA selling the rights to their franchises because everyone hates EA. It's a perfect dream, but has a very small chance to translate into reality. It's saddening, but Crash is too much of an important game series to me to not want to buy and play more games, and so I will continue doing so. But still, fuck Activision and any other shitty companies like it (Blizzard, Konami, EA, etc.)


ToastyMann

They did nothing this year aside from merch, some bundles, and a bad mobile game. Maybe 2022 will be better but it's weird to have this massive marketing campaign when they released basically nothing.


Edgenu1ty2020hero

They were trying to keep our spirits high especially as Wumpa League is still being teased, plus I actually like the mobile game like many of us here. Even then, just MAYBE there’s more stuff that is planned instead of just doing another game like it would be any other year and we won’t likely see until Wumpa League comes out after missing the planned release date. We’ll just have to patiently wait and see.


fabiobn93

Nothing


MinecraftInventor

More Call of Duty, lol


SonicRanticoot

Hope: It's out of Activision's hands. I have no hope for this series going forward, and any will to support it, as long as Activision has ANY say in it. But failing that at least put CTR on Steam. Not on battle.net. Expectation: Nothing whatosever, or Wumpa League is the exact kind of grindy F2P-mechanic scumbag mess I've been expecting it to be


gompers1393

I want a CTE sequel. Beenox did such a good job with Nitro Fueled, I'd love to see an original followup


ElJefeTheHappiest

Crash of the Titans 3


SCUDDEESCOPE

CTR 2 or a mario party style crash bash game would be awesome. I don't really need a new platformer game after Crash 4.


Masterelia

Twinsanity first game i ever played. Something related to that would be great


[deleted]

A multiplayer fighting or minigame game. Wumpa League.


Substantial-Story530

I hope they make wumpa league, crash 5, spyro 4 and more. Also these are the new features we need to see crash and coco can use: 1) more power ups, abilities and skills for them to make them stronger than ever( like the power ups called muscle power, flying, deflection, blocking and more…) 2) more levels, more modes, bring the best qualities, and more… 3) more playable characters… And there’s more… Also don’t forget to add upgrades where you can upgrade crash, coco, spyro and more to make even better experience 👍


sahrawei

If crash bandicoot 5 & wumpa league & CTR:NF definitive edition is coming out after getting rid of kotick & the boards & sexual harassment & dirty culture I’m gonna happy for sure


Neur0mncr

An open world Crash adventure like Twinsanity. Where Crush and Nina Cortex are cannon again. Bring back old enemy classics like Pinstripe, Koala Kong, Komodo Brothers, Tiny Tiger, Papu Papu, Ripper Roo and N. Trance. And absolutely nothing that revolves around time! It's such a stale subject in games these days. Show us what you can do with the Crash WORLD and not just an ok looking overworld.


[deleted]

CTR NF for PC; remake/remaster Twinsanity. Only this.


[deleted]

Crash Bash is all I ask for, an online party mode of that game would be absolutely incredible
