Video: Crash Bandicoot's First PS4 Appearance Looks Awesome

I still think the Trilogy Remasters....remakes....(what are they exactly?) were Sony's added in before the day thing for the year, since it was literally "By the way this is a thing" probably due to the Skylanders backlash.

@BLPs there are three words that people get confused about: Remake, Remaster and Reboot. Reboot means restarting a franchise in a new era of hardware (aka Tomb Raider) while Remake means remaking a game for the new era of hardware using new assets (aka Ratchet & Clank 2015). Remaster (from my understanding) is simply updating an older game for new hardware (aka Sleeping Dogs, God of War 3) using the old assets and upscaling them in a higher resolution.

TL;DR The new Crash Bandicoot is a remake, it will have new assets much like the latest Ratchet & Clank game. (I am no expert in definitions so if everything I said is wrong, go ahead and correct me).

This looks great! Hope it comes out this year.

Oh come on Pushsquare that was so clickbait

@AlexKidd Actually what you said is pretty accurate, I just don't know if the Crash Trilogy is a remaster or a remake, but I'll take your word, which is way better than a simply remaster.

I never played the originals, so it's nice to look at an old character like this and not be blinded by nostalgia. Honestly, I think the platforming and item collecting looks dull, but the combat with the slide attack and all that spinnin' around actually looks pretty badass.

Ok so that Crash Skylanders looks far better than what I was expecting!But as I won't be buying this I'd rather see how they are getting on with the original trilogy.

@get2sammyb Are you narrating the vid? I saw Andy Robertson doing the same scene this morning so I was a little thrown off - cheap mono tablet not helping.

My kids still haven't played Superchargers that they got for Christmas, they just started Lego Dimensions, and like that game I think we'll wait for next summer when everything - main game and Crash pack - are half off.

These games are good, always fun, but 4 years in a row was maybe a bit much, might be time for alternate years for us.

@get2sammyb Didn't know they announced a date thanks! October is going to genuinely kill my wallet.

Wait, what!?! That actually looks really good!

It looks good but I won't be buying this game just for one level, also every time I see a video of this I can't help but feel he moves a little too slowly. You're right though @get2sammyb the developer is showing promise for when the remaster is finally with us

@get2sammyb i like how you pretend not to know too much about skylanders. Bet you have full collection. I played a few of them when picked up main sets on sale. but this really looks cool. Just hope you dont need 500 figures

I play SL with son, mostly pumped for the new game with Crash and Cortex.

The games made by Toys for Bob are usually the best ones (Trap Team was best yet.)

Hopefully Vicarious can do Crash even more justice in the remakes.

The only things missing is a boss fight...

Hmm interesting. Though isn't Crash's first PS4 appearance in Uncharted 4?

@Sir_JBizzle wait, what?! I didn't think I could un-hide that black bar on my smartphone!

Softens the blow suffered from MGS earlier today. At least Crash has a good future.

Looks really good may have to get this.

This game really caught me by surprise. As someone who dabbled in Disney Infinity3.0 and was disappointed, I never even looked at Skylanders as an alternative. Imaginators actually looks like an entertaining top-down brawler and Crash looks cool as hell here.

So yeah, I'm picking up a friggin' Skylanders game this year. Good stuff

Not keen on how Crash looks in this game but the rest looks excellent. Hopefully the PS4 remasters will look as good as this + this level should stay PS Exclusives!

I hate the animation ,specially the jumping one and he doesn't move like crash. What's up with the pizzas ? Is that a power up?

@adf86 I dunno. Smash Bros for Wii U was announced without Sakurai knowing.

I'm more joking that every E3 seems to be Sony being reactionary, only this time it was to itself. Lest we forget the DRM video joke, or the infamous PS4 Price Powerpoint slide. This just seemed very off hand.

Crash and this level looks absolutely gorgeous.

The interesting thing is that Vicarious Visions have done Crash games before. They did the Crash games on GBA which were great overall. The first one was essentially a mix-mash of 2 and 3 on the GBA, and it was great!

@BLPs If anything I'd actually say the opposite. I think Sony wanted to do the remasters, but Skylanders essentially became a bargaining chip. Well I'd like to believe that anyway!

@Churchy I think the way it got handled irked me. Skylanders leaks and then Sony announces that and offhand mentions remakes. It's like the no mans sky sticker debacle. The timing could not be worse. It seemed like Sony wanted to make up for the Skylanders leak and didn't have anything to show. Granted it's probably more how you described it, but considering how it was handled and Sony history of quick edits at e3 I'm sceptical.

@BLPs Oh definitely. Although I feel that way, the announcement was a little odd. I think they may have wanted to soften the blow just so they didn't get a huge amount of hate. It seemed like it was "Hey don't worry guys it is actually coming - we've just got to show you this." It was the only part of this year's E3 presser that was a bit of a downturn.

No, still won`t get and this is what that mad scientist looked like.

This does look pretty good! Good spot, I wouldn't have even considered looking at footage for a Skylanders game but I'm glad this was pointed out. I wonder if they'll consider a CTR remake if the trilogy remaster is successful.
