It's possible that the deal hasn't been ironed out yet. They certainly didn't say it was exclusive at E3, when it would have been perfect time to.

The only time Sony used the term "exclusive" for any of their games was during their E3 conference was a brief mention from Shawn Layden, unlike MS which used never before heard meanings of the term "exclusive".

We're two days from launch and we still don't know if it's a true exlusive. Shawn never used the word exclusive during E3. It's also worth noting that the TV Spots don't have any PS4 splash screens at the end of them. 

What does MS have to do with any of this?

Minecraft for the PS4 and Crash for the Xone. Why not?

Here's the thing though.... Minecraft just became a an MS property recently. The deal between Mojang and Sony was already penned before Microsoft bought them out. So that's actually a bad comparison.

I predict it will come to Xbox because its an Activision game and it hasnt been confirmed to stay on Playstation only.

If Activision wants bring this IP back then supporting Xbox and Switch is helpful.

Agreed. Activision/Sony relationship likes their timed exclusives this gen. CoD DLC, Destiny DLC, MW:R standalone. So 6 months for Crash wouldn't be a surprise.

No they havent.

I'm gonna say that's fake, but I wouldn't be utterly suprised at the same time. Only thing possibly keeping it off other platforms is the fact that Crash 1, 2, 3 and CTR are all still copyrighted to Sony.

We had plenty of infos that this games inst PS4 exclusive, also look at box of this game, you will see there isn't "Only On Playstation" on box like other PS4 exclusives. Coincidence!? I dont think so.

It might happen, whatever, that's fantastic. But not all PS4 exclusives have the 'only on playstation' logo anyway. Persona 5, Yakuza definately aren't coming to Xbox nor is Nioh. Maybe the deal is similar here, or not? I for one would like to see it on PC especially. Mod support will be very good.



I personally believe that Crash is indeed a timed exclusive and it will come to other platforms later, but I think I'd happen at least a year from now. December feels early imo. I have been following this game ever since it was announced (I used to play the originals when I was younger, so I'm obviously interested in it), but I don't have a PS4 nor do I want one, so I've been looking at this exclusivity thing very closely.

Here's what I've gathered so far, sorry for the giant wall of text:

- The game has only been announced for PS4, but there's been no official mention of it being exclusive. Sony loves to talk about their exclusive titles, but they haven't said a word about it regarding this game, which is weird. Activision hasn't said a thing either.

- Months ago, PlayStation Ireland's twitter account said that the game was exclusive to the PS4. That tweet got deleted and then replaced the next day by another one that says it's "PS4 and PS4 Pro first". Why would they feel the need to delete and clarify the original tweet if it's indeed exclusive? Again, weird.

- We know Sony has helped to some extent (Providing level geometry and stuff like that), but the game itself was made entirely from the ground up, with no reused assets from the originals. That technically means it's a brand new game and it likely doesn't fit the exclusivity contract from the original trilogy.

- Activision is publishing the game. Also, it's freaking Activision. Remember GoldenEye 007 on the Wii? That was exclusive right? Exactly. It was exclusive to the Wii, but then it was released on other platforms a year later.

- No "Only on PlayStation" label on the boxart. I've checked the final boxart from every region and none of them have it.

- This game's marketing barely mentions the PS4, if at all. Read the description in any of the videos from the official Crash Bandicoot channel on YouTube or from places like the Activision blog and you'll see what I mean.

- This developer interview by Metro had the following question:

Metro: "So, is this collection a permanent PlayStation exclusive or just a timed one?"

Dev: "Right now I'm saying it's released on June 30th on PS4 and PS4 Pro [laughs]"

Don't know about you guys, but this sounds sketchy to me. She could've simply said "Yes, it's PS4 exclusive", but it looks like she tried to dodge the question.

 

If it's indeed exclusive I have no problem with it, but this extremely confusing messaging is what's getting annoying, because it gives me hope for a multiplatform release that may never happen. Anyways, that's it guys, take all this info as you will.

There are exclusives that don't have the "Only on Playstation" branding on them, as it's been mentioned, Persona 5, Yakuza Kiwami and Nioh are three examples, another would be Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age which is releasing in less than two weeks and is a PS4 exclusive too.

So using this logic, we can't say whether the lack of "Only on Playstation" branding means it WILL be coming to other platforms... the only way to find out is to simply wait and see what happens in the future.

 

Actualy its not relly hard to think those game could be one some other platforms later. In any case, we had plenty of infos that this game isn't PS4 exclusive, only time will tell.
