Hey, you ever play Crash Bandicoot Racing? The name may be a little off, but that's because in Japan, the PSone classic that we know as Crash Team Racing was called Crash Bandicoot Racing, and we're telling you this because the latter has shown up in a PlayStation Asia survey.
Said survey asks users to choose which games they've played from a list -- and it's a pretty varied list. Uncharted 4 is on there alongside God of War, but third party titles such as Metal Gear Solid V and The Evil Within 2 also appear. Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is there too, and what's right beside it? You guessed it, Crash Bandicoot Racing, as spotted by Twitter user TheWumpaGem.
It's the only PSone game on the list, but why is it there to begin with? Well, it could just be a random addition, but it's a bit weird, isn't it? Why Crash Team Racing of all games? Why would only one PSone title be included? Is it a hint? An error? Who knows.
Of course, this only really matters because rumours of a Crash Team Racing remake have been doing the rounds ever since Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy launched last year. We already know that developer Vicarious Visions is working on something new, and based on the immense success of the aforementioned Trilogy, you've gotta assume that it's crafting another remake of some kind.
So, a Crash Team Racing remake on PS4? Yes or no? Smash some crates in the comments section below.

Whether this rumour is right or wrong, Crash Team Racing has to be happening!
@get2sammyb
I hope so, it’s a game my wife and I hold close to our hearts. We played it so much when she was first pregnant we were really young and only were able to move in with each other when she was 5 months pregnant, and if the ps1 had platinum trophies we’d had got it a dozen times over. PS4 is becoming my favourite console of all time
It would be amazing if VV was working on a CTR remake.
If I was a gambling man, I'd say I'm pretty sure development on this is almost done.
Start your engines!
Just like crash and spyro, it will be day one buy for me
There's no way that it isn't being worked on somewhere.
I'm surprised they're not pushing it as soon as they can so they can ride the wave they've got at the moment, but I guess development takes years these days.
Hopefully we'll hear something official soon
@roe I imagine Activision wants to throw as much light on Spyro: Reignited Trilogy as possible leading up to its launch in November. I'm with you, though — really hope we hear something soon. I'd love a remake
@Quintumply that's true I guess. Also was forgetting that they've had the N. Sane Trilogy release on other platforms this year as well so it's not like Crash has been out of the headlines otherwise
I hope it isn't just a straight recreation like N Sane and Reignited are and they'll be adding new content, or at least giving us Nitro Kart content too.
<3 CTR <3
Best kart racer on all formats. Fact.
I remember somewhat enjoying the game, looking forward to the remaster if it happens.
I really really really really really really really want it!!!
It's inevitable, surely? The trilogy remake was very successful and fans have been very vocal. Must only be a matter of time now.
CTR with online support, platinum trophy, better graphics and possible more features? Day 1 for me, no doubt!
Ill take it!!! Xbox and Switch versions also please!!
