If you've read this particular author's Push Square bio under the staff page, you would know that we've been waiting for Crash Bandicoot to return in true form for over a decade. Well, we can say that this dream has been, er, sort of realized. Our favorite marsupial will be gracing the PlayStation 4, but will do so in a remastered collection of sorts with the three original titles made by Naughty Dog. There are currently no details or footage to be found, but rest assured that this has been officially confirmed by Shawn Layden himself on stage at Sony's E3 2016 press conference.
All we have right now, though, is footage of Crash, well, crashing Activision's toy-to-life franchise in Skylanders Imaginators. You'll be able to see him performing a lot of his iconic moves accompanied with classic sound effects, but there's no mention whether other characters or environments will be included in the next instalment. You'll also see Imaginator's key feature on display, which gives players the ability to create their own Skylanders from drawings. While we doubt the accuracy of this lofty selling point, it does seem cool in concept.
Are you excited that we'll at least see Crash in some form other than in Skylanders? Or does this deal that Sony has struck with Activision leave a sour taste in your mouth? Ready your wumpa fruit in the comments section below.

FYI to anyone reading - it's not a remaster per se. He described it as being designed from the ground up for ps4, so more a kin to ratchet and clank.
This is a good start i am really looking forwards to it, i think depending on how well this does we could see a real Crash game.
I have no interest in Skylanders, but at least Crash has his original design in the video. Even though we're receiving a remake of Crash, if it sells well, hopefully that will open the door for a future Crash title.
@ztpayne7 Technically, that COULD mean it's a native port instead of emulation. We need more details, anyway.
YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSSSS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'll take the trilogy for now thx!!
I got the trilogy for $3 when the PSOne originals were on sale during a Flash Sale a year or so ago.
If it's a remaster like R&C the ye've all got what ye were asking for. Still suprised, thought this would never happen. But is it only on PS4 or will it be on Xbox too?
Hmm.
I'll wait and see how this turns out.
@itshoggie I think it's going to be PS4 exclusive.
No Crash Team Racing with Online? Such a shame.
Sounds good to me, but it is a remake, not a remaster!
@Stuffgamer1 doubtful. They would probably have had a trailer if it was that simple.
DISGRACE!!!
I've been saying this for YEARS!!
First, remaster the first 3 games. That will hit the old players with nostalgia and it will introduce new players (newcomers from Xbox maybe) to the series. The only thing I am hoping for is for them to keep the 2-D perspective and the difficulty from the first game but update the controls and the dead zones of the jumps and whatnot.
