In case you missed yesterday's news, Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy now has a confirmed release date; it's set to launch for PlayStation 4 on the 30th June. Now that we know when the remade package is coming, though, we've started questioning just how excited we are for the return of everyone's favourite furry mascot.
The N. Sane Trilogy features the first three Crash games from the triumphant days of the original PlayStation, but they've been remade from the ground up using new assets. Basically, it's a remastered collection; all the levels are as you remember them, but it all looks current-gen. It's an interesting project, to say the least.
With all of that in mind, the trilogy should be a no-brainer if you're a big fan of Naughty Dog's first three titles, but is that the case for you? Are you hyped at the thought of Crash spinning back into our lives, or would you rather he body slam into something new? Vote in our polls, and feed us your thoughts in the comments section below.

Although it does feel like it has been quite quick to develop (unless started way before E3), I showed the trailer to my wife who only likes two games, Tetris and Crash and she got very very excited and asked if she could get it for herself. So I think that it recognisably crash to all involved!
I was never a massive fan of the Crash games when they were first out but that was mainly because I had played Mario64 first and these felt like a step backwards. It's smart of Activision to piggyback on Naughty Dogs work and the first Jak and Daxter shows how good later entries in the series should have been. If they make future entries I hope they get outside help as I'm not convinced the Skylanders team can do it justice
Talking with my friends about this and it one of the first few games most of us got was some sort of Crash game..
We'd like to see Crash Team Racing and Crash Bash remake or sequal with multiplayer support. We'd all jump on that wagon
It's good that they remake crash for new generations, I hope crash team racing is next, complete with online play
I agree with B-I-G-DEVIL, Bash and Racing were amazing ! Want that back !
I'm as happy as Noel Edmonds opening red boxes.
If you're not excited about Crash, I feel sorry for you. Hopefully after this they'll reveal an all new original Crash game for PS4! It's about damn time he made his glorious return!
Crash Bandicoot was the first PlayStation game I owned, played & completed so my hype for this is massive even if it's just a graphical overhaul and the games play the same as they did in the 90s we've got 3 excellent platformer landing in june
I still want a proper Crash 4 but this remake does look very impressive. And now they have the design and mechanics of the game running on PS4, let's hope it's a success so we can perhaps finally get a much deserved follow up.
Can't wait to play this with my son. Show him how great games used to be. I usually hate remakes but Ratchet and now Crash deserve to be experienced by a new generation. Hope it sells well then more devs will look into bringing this kind of game back.
@roe They are testing the waters if it sells well you can bet a new crash will be coming.
I'd prefer full remakes that overhaul the level design and dated game mechanics, or even a reboot, but this is better than nothing. Visually, this remaster looks FANTASTIC.
Game is looking pretty good. Admittedly, I haven't exactly played much of the series, as I only played 5 games in it, but I really liked Crash 2 and I can't wait to play it again with high definition graphics along with it's predecessor and successor.
I would prefer a new Crash game instead of a remake, but I think this looks pretty good so far. I'm excited for it, mostly because it could mean new Crash games, and I will buy this if it makes that possible.
@YoshiParty including party games, racing and spin offs (handheld) there's 15 Crash games
I'm happy Crash is getting this treatment, and that Crash 1 will no longer be a steaming hot pile of ass in terms of game design.
But I have always found Spyro more engaging, not to say Crash is bad, I just grew up with one over the other and that's my preference.
One thing I cant get over, is the visuals. I don't know what the hell is going on, but it still looks as plastic as a Skylanders figure. And actually kind of lifeless. Which is a shame, as Ratchet and Clank showed how you can evolve an artstyle from that time effectively. This just looks cash-grabby and artificial.
Crash reminds me of a simpler time when i was younger and things were less complicated but i think cashing in on it for the younger generation is pointless atleast for the 1st person shooter fans. Great rerelease for the nostalgic fans though!
I'm probably one of the only Playstation fans with this opinion but I've never actually liked Crash. Tried 2 of the games on PS1 and I really couldn't get into them. I'm happy for the people who are excited about the chance to replay the games but I think I'll sit this one out.
A few months ago, I was watching E3 2016 on my TV through YouTube and playing on PC at the same time; ocasionally, I looked at the screen when something interesting came up. Suddenly, I hear that song, I turn to the screen and Crash's shadow is walking on the stage, I got up and practically jumped closer to the TV, almost falling on my way. "OMG! Crash is coming back!!!" - that was my thought, my friends started texting about the same thing. I felt like a child again, really excited.
So yeah, I guess I'm interested in playing a good Crash game again, haha.
I'm over the moon that Crash is finally coming back into our lives.It was a huge shame when all the crash games (not made by Naughty Dog)all turned out to be huge disappointments and each new game losing what made Crash great in the first place.
But this remaster looks amazing and to be honest alot better than what I was expecting.Can't wait to play it and hopefully a brand new game in the future.
I played a couple of Crash games back in the day. Must admit I sunk quite a few hours into them. Especially Crash Team Racing... yeah, I dug the racer over the main games.
I will prolly buy thus remake. My wife is nostalgic about it. My kids need a good introduction of what I played when younger. And of course, my help is called when the tough levels arise ^^ Will be good fun!!
I support this remake, hoping it will lead to more. Would love a CTR remake or proper sequel.
Meh... Thanks Nintendo I've never missed Crash. Both Wii and WiiU had marvelous platformers; I also think DK TF, Yarn Yoshi and Kirby still looks way better than this.
@BLP_Software Hey, I just found something we agree on! I like that Crash is coming back, but it just looks.. off.. I don't know what's going on, but you certainly have a point with the comparison to Ratchet and Clack, that game is gorgeous. I wish this was more of a remake than a remaster.
@Octane I'm chill that Crash is coming back, it is still a bit of my childhood. Crash 2 is my jam after all.
But I have had this hunch from the announcement of this with no footage or a sign of what it was, after the backlash to Skylanders, that this was a quick saving of face.
And this game, and I am really glad its not just me being colour blind (Because I had a feeling that was my problem with N. Sanity Beach looking muted and samey). This game looks....whats the word.
Is it artificial? Plastic? Cheap? Lifeless? Washed out? Its so hard to explain. But graphically, there is something very not right with this, and it does, actually worryingly, kill the feel of it. It doesn't feel....right. :/
And hey, youll find we agree on a lot of stuff. Thankfully I'm not like some folk I see online who believe one thing and that one thing is right k thx bye. There are alternate views to be respected and discussed. Its just my view of this title isn't on the up, I have always been sceptical (And I got crucified for it initially), but I'm just...I'm not feeling this and I cant quite place why.
i am mildly interested i guess,was never a massive crash fan but found crash 2 fun though..it will be a solid bit of platformer nostalgia,hopefully paving the way for a brand new title..worth supporting i think for that reason.
I hope they do Crash Team Racing and Crash Bash to next LOVED those games.
@BLP_Software Yeah I agree. I got a little excited when they announced this remake, but after seeing the footage.. that excitement died a little.
When Crash first came out on PS1 Mario64 had already happened & playing Naughty Dog's clunky, poor imitation was difficult.
I'll wait for Yooka-Laylee thanks!
The games look great, as for someone who played and owned the games long time ago this can't come soon enough
Well it is not as if they have shown a lot anyway.
I love 2 and 3 so I am happy. Price is right too. Funny that I love the games but I hate Crash as a character. So brainless.
can't wait for it
I love that it's so true to the originals. Sometimes all a classic needs is a new coat of paint.
Crash going in this direction is the right move IMO. The other Crash Activision games weren't all that great.
I agree with those saying Crash seemed poor in comparison to the sublime Mario 64 at the time (what didn't?) but it was still fun in its own right.
I'm glad they've taken this route but a well-developed 3D platformer in the Crash world could be cool too...
Hopefully if it sells it could open the door for more PS1 remasters. The Mr Domino revival is surely only months away...
@BLP_Software Thats funny cause me and my friends always have conversations about how crash and spyro are our number 1 or number 2 on our list
@Dodoo well to be honest I always thought the opposite. I always thought the mario games were boring compared to crash but say it was something like donkey kong then I could agree with that cause donkey kong trumps both. Still prefer crash tho
