Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fueled (PC release)

[PISSED-OFF-COW]

Hello Steam community!

I want your thoughts on the likelihood of a PC release (preferably Steam) of the upcoming CTR:NF game. The game is set for a June 2019 release on PS4, Switch and Xbone with no mention of PC.

If we rewind a little, the previous Crash Bandicoot remaster, the N-Sane Trilogy, was released on PC separately exactly 1 year after the console versions.

Both the N-Sane Trilogy and Nitro-Fueled remasters are published by Activision, leading me to believe that CTR:NF will also release on Steam, similarly to N-Sane Trilogy, 1 year after the console release, meaning it would land in June 2020. I'll definitely wait until 2020 regardless because I'm not double-dipping.

Do you have any insider news which would suggest reasons either for or against the PC release?

Double dip.
- Profit off Console for the whole year.
- Profit off PC for those that want it on PC, for those that don't have an console, and for those that would buy it on console, and PC.

That's how I see it, which why ports happen later on, and not at the same time for some games.

Yeah, but it's weird porting for all consoles, except for PC. I would understand if it was only for PS4, for example. Then, later on, they port it to all consoles + PC. It's kind of a weird a bad business they're doing porting for every console right away, except PC. Idk, man, for me it's just weird. I might be wrong about it, tho

You get used to it. Over decade ago, ports of console games coming PC were pretty uncommon, sometimes they're poorly optimize, and broken. Rarely few games are basically broken, or have no optimization at all, and didn't matter what hardware you had, as it was poorly done.

Good example would be Arcania - Gothic 4, which has problems, and the devs never came back to fix the game due to gods know why, but it was the worst game out of the series, here the joke this game also ported to the PS4, and it's also have the same problems that you have on PC. I believe the only version that has optimization was on the Xbox 360, and PS3 version.

These days we're getting ports on PC more often now, and have some kind of decent, or good optimization for them, which isn't bad.

Yeah, I agree

No insider news or leaks from me, but I definitely agree this has to come to PC. It will be a win for the players and a win for the developer/publisher.
Spend my early teen years with this game on PS2. Don't own a console now so double dipping is not an option for me anyway. Pretty sure I'm not the only one out there who's in this kind of situation.

I hope to god CTRNF comes out on PC i've been playing CTR for like 10 years and i really want to test my mettle. From what i've seen PC ports take 8 months to a year. Some news in the upcoming months would be relieving to all of us i'm sure. Crash N Sane Trilogy came out on PC, so the chances are not that bad that we'll get a PC CTRNF

[✪Happy Dude✪]

got both on ps4 so i think they will come to pc

[Zenith]

I'm pretty sure it'll come eventually. There's too much money involved into it. The only problem will be porting it to PC, tho, but since they already ported it even to Switch, it might not be a big problem. But I'm still thinking they're losing too much money if they launch this game for PC only in a year, like it happened to Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy and Spyro: Reignited Trilogy. I can completely understand some months without the release for PC, but 1 year without a port is just crazy... Hope it comes soon.

Pretty sure it's coming out in 2020, since this is a pattern.
Crash 2017 console ~ 2018 PC
Spyro 2018 console ~ 2019 PC
CTR 2019 console assume 2020 PC.

I am personally fine to wait myself, I see the pattern also.

My problem with this is the 1 year gap between the launch on consoles and PC. Since they already launched CTR: NF for other consoles rather than only for PS4, I assume it's gonna take less time to a port to PC be a thing. And there will be some exclusive tracks for the game on online mode. PC players will lose this events, sadly. That might be another fact that could make CTR: NF come soon to PC.

Hard to say, but I'm going to assume June 2020, because how the patten been going, and if we're going to miss out on some content then yea that would suck, but also I don't think we're going to have cross-platform for the game, so seem like whatever console got, we either get it the 1st day when comes on PC, later time, or none at all.

I hope you're wrong, tho. But I'm kind of pessimist about things, so yeah, that's a big possibility.
