Back in the day, Sony wanted an answer to Mario, and Crash met that.  What Crash did back in the day was a big deal.  Now it isn't.  Sony is position Sackboy as their answer to Mario.  I would say that the ship has sailed on Crash.

Think of it this way, what about a platformer in a coridor is of interest to you?  That is the heart of Crash and it worked well back in the day.

Nothing I've only played Crash 1, and that was recently since it was free on PS+.  Like I had said, I noticed that Crash was a sales beast back in the day, now it's become a forgotten franchise.  Just makes me sad that it's going to stay that way.

Play style is now considered very dated.  Heck, it seems like Mario is the only one who has made a jump to 3D and kept going.  Even Sonic has had issues.  And Bonk (TG-16/PC-Engine) is in the past.  You also have Geck the Gecco (?) who is nowhere.  Rayman is still about though, but people lament the sales aren't there.  It seems like it is Mario for platformers or nothing these days.
