Not even gonna lie, if the Crash trilogy makes its way elsewhere it's gonna sting for me personally. I'm pretty sure the first video game I played was crash 1, on my first console ever... The PS1. The trilogy has remained exclusive so I want it to stay like that. This is PlayStation after all, King of the exclusives! Please Sony. Just give activision the bag of money.

I honestly don't get that.... it not being excusive wouldn't stop you from playing the game at all. I mean I understand the value of exclusives, but thats only when the game in question is a first party game made to bolster the library of a platform. But Crash isn't going to add any real value to the existing library of the Playstation. Its not gonna be a system seller. To want this to be exclusive is just to not want others to play it unless they have a PS4. Which is no doubt the point of all exclusives..... just don't feel in this case its warranted.


It just sounds wrong to me. The original crash trilogy is hand-in-hand iconic with PS1. It was THE franchise that put Naughty Dog on the map, one of my all time favorite developers. To see another company take ND's work, remaster it but then potentially disrespect that work or whore it out to other platforms does bother me. I'm just being honest here, you can call me a fanboy or you can say you don't get it but, like I said previously, I have very early childhood memories associating this game with this platform that also happens to evoke a sense of nostalgia (which is a fragile thing, nostalgia).

 

I didnt bat an eye when it was revealed that No Mans Sky was coming to PC. Didn't give a fuck when TR was pretend exclusive for MS. Don't care at all that NiOh may eventually come to PC.  I can't and don't treat Crash Bandicoot in the same way nor do I hold him in the same light, and yeah, I'm gonna resent activision more if they make the wrong moves here. This has to do with my earliest memories of gaming and it probably sounds absurd but I wish the trilogy to be exclusive.
