Nobody interested in Crash Bash remake?

[Doktor Mandrake]

Sure a lot of people didnt like it but not all the mini games were bad, the pinball type mode was quite fun for example as were the polar bear ones

They wouldnt have to bring back all the mini games just the good ones, add some new modes, online with local MP, polish it up so it's better version of the original

I just mentioned this yesterday while playing through the trilogy. I loved crash bash entirely. A remake would be sick and could be an awesome party game if they added an online lobby system.

Its been 10+ years since I played it but I dont recall having a problem with any of the minigames tbh.

Even as someone that likes Crash Bash, what is even the point of a remake/remaster of it anyway? They'd be much better off making a new game entirely using similar ideas instead of doing a remake/remaster since there's not really much that can be done with it unlike the N Sane Trilogy or CTR. Unlike Crash Bash, those games actually had a reason to get remastered.

The racing around in a circle mini game wasnt that good, neither was the one just walking around throwing crates at each other

Now things like the pogo stick, tank levels and stuff like that were really fun and loved to complete it to see those dragons at the end

The game even had pretty decent boss fights from what I recall.

Plus itd be nice to have CTR remake on steam/pc getting old playing it on my switch

Well I wouldnt mind a brand new party game but I'd want them to bring back some of the ideas from crash bash as well

[Vantier]

Yeah I would be fine with that, Doesnt have to be a direct remake/remaster whatever. Could just be a re-imagining with some old favorite minigames and some new ones thrown in.

Edit: Random thought, Crash Bash X Fall Guys.

I would be interested in a Crash Bash remake, or really any classic Crash games on modern platforms. Only issue I have is that seeing that Activision found a way to debauch the CTR remake with MTX, I assume they would find a way with a Crash Bash remake as well

Though, I would still like to see CTR:NF on Steam first and whilst I am open to the idea of a Crash Bash remake I do also think they could use their energy elsewhere and bring back something that would appeal to more fans. I like Crash Bash but I think it's fairly niche in comparison to other Crash games on older platforms

Wekll, crash-bash never felt really polished.
The games were .... ok i gues? Some werw decent, others were just annoying - like some version of the pogo-thingy and the tank-levels.

Oh yeah, the tank-levels were really unbalanced sometimes. If they did a remake they would probably have to do some work to the AI in those

As much as I want remake of Crash Bash , it's most likely not gonna happen because of how its mixed reception when it was released .
And even if it happened Activision most likely won't port the game on steam .

If CTR does ever come to pc dont let the MTX put you off playing it! Very good remake and can still unlock all the normal stuff like you could in the original (like unlocking n.trophy by completing all the time trials, theres even oxide to beat now as well)

The skins and extra karts are a pretty big grind to unlock especially if you dont plan on playing online mp, this doesnt bother me personally as much as I'm boring and just use old crt characters with their classic kart most of the time anyway

Plus it's just a nice excuse to keep playing the game for me, with how much extra is added on over the original theres always plenty to do (new ring race game mode is fantastic)

The MTX from a moral stand point is absurd though, sure theres those of us in our 30s playing this having nostalgia for Crash but these new games are made with children as the core demographic like it was in the 90s

So it's pretty damn predatory to make skins so grindy and have mtx, adults can resist and have patience but kids arent exactly known for being patient, it's especially messed up how they said theyd be no mtx then 2 weeks later.. add mtx

The grind itself is not a problem though imo, it's just the way they're selling wumpa coins for real money

Even if it was a brand new game not even called crash bash, I think itd be fun to see another crash party game

I think theyll run into the same problem naughty dog did after they finished CTR which was where to take Crash next, it'd be too soon imo to do another platformer or another kart racer, but they havent done a party game yet

It's not just that, either - it's also the fact that they added in the MTX one month after release so they wouldn't be taken into consideration by reviewers knowing how despised they are in the industry.

I'm not even against grinding for in-game currency in my racing games either, and in fact, I was reminded of one particular PS2 game that got it just right - Jak X, another spinoff racing game in the Jak & Daxter series.

Instead of only getting a tiny amount of currency for winning a race, you also get extra currency (precursor orbs) based on your best hang time, longest powerslides as well as how many times you blow up other racers, with a few being lost for every time you get blown up.

You get around 6,000 orbs average per race, most in-game items cost around 15,000 and races take around 7-10 minutes due to the length of the tracks, so it doesn't even take that long to grind for the stuff you want. Even the more expensive items only take about an hour or so which is fair enough in my eyes.

It also had far better kart customisation than any other kart racer I've played, allowing you to change various body parts as well as any colour you want, with the cosmetics being free and you only have to buy the performance upgrades, with a few special cosmetics being available in the secrets shop.

But that was back when games were purely about having fun, and man, do I really miss that.

[Big Smoke's Ghost]

its a pretty bad game and its pretty barebones so these no point.

[JaredX7]

I'm interested, but it would be a waste of development resources. No matter how much I loved the game back in 2000 & 200%'ed the game with my younger sister who passed away.

Remaster Crash Twinsanity and put that on Steam instead.
