There's plenty of reason to speculate otherwise though. Sony haven't officially confirmed it as an exclusive (some Irish PS twitter dude doesn't really count as official confirmation). So the obvious question is if it's fully exclusive why haven't they just come out and said it yet?

Well, I don't consider that dude's words confirmation. Me, personally. But being an insider at Sony certainly helps and without any disputes from Activision, it's a pretty safe bet.

However, it's Sony's ownership of specific parts (publishing rights, as one of them) of the first three games that have done the trick for me. Could it release on other machines? Certainly. It's just highly, highly unlikely based on that criteria.

It's been a while (and I mean a while, three console generations have passed) since the original PS1 Crash games. You'd think that, after the Activision buy all the rights would go to them. Difficult to keep track to an IP(an all its rights)  that has not been that popular or prolific since the PS1 days.

This makes sense. I just figured anyone who was curious might have looked it up. 

 

I mean, I could see Activision going around it so that they can put the game on any platform they want: for example, the game isn't called Crash Bandicoot Remake, it's Crash N Sane Trilogy, it doesn't even contain the full original name,meaning that for Activision this is technically a brand new game, not a remake
