I think the doorstoppers in the little 50-hour club Don't Like Company, if you catch my drift.

From what I've seen of the game, I'll just say this - the game's "tribute" to Crash Bandicoot is a far, far cry from the beautiful homage we've seen in Uncharted.

@Darth_Stofi
Goodbye Volcano High seems to be pandering to the hipster furry crowd. Its implied slice-of-life narration style looks like something straight out of the webcomic scene.

Ape Escape developers: "Whew, we totally dodged a bullet with that one."

@RBMango
The utter lack of Kairi "KH-style gameplay" seems to suggest otherwise.

@NinjaWaddleDee
Bingo. My guess is that Square didn't read the fine print on Sony's documents, and now PS4 got the all-in-one package about the same day Xbox One got 1,5+II.2 and 2.8 as separate collections instead of The Story So Far.

Never been into conspiracy theories, to be honest, but there are way too much shenanigans involved. I wouldn't be surprised if Sony had something to do with the no-Nintendo-console stigma for numbered entries.

If this means Sony understood "exclusives" means "first-party investments" and not "third-party deals", more power to the Blue Gaming Giant.

"We don't really know what to make of this."
As a Switch owner, I do. Just don't ask me to put what I feel into words, because there might be kids on this site.

@ShogunRok
And the port-begging policy keeps being inconsistent.
But hey, noting inconsistencies is just fun that way.

Boy howdy, the physical-only fans over at Nintendo Life must be having a seizure right now.

Sony: "No, you're 100 off."
Us: "So it's 100 bucks cheaper?"
Sony: (an image you can hear)

The Call of Duty soldiers have broken the fourth wall and are now invading other games out of sheer size.

Hello there, fellow European!

@Carl-G
As far as mere solace goes, gaming is kind of our only hope.

Even without feeling actively involved (my current "big boy" console is an Xbox One), I'll make sure not to miss this one out. I'm not ruling out picking up a PS5 over an Xbox Series X for my non-Nintendo needs either, so Sony will need to play their cards as well as possible.

@Orpheus79V
I might sound like a grumpy old guy here, but I fail to see the appeal of a first-person Crash Bandicoot game. I think a game is supposed to be conceived with VR in mind for it to work. Shoehorning a franchise into a type of gaming experience that's not fit for it will hardly do the trick.
Forget the fact I'm a Nintendo gamer - the 3D gameplay I got out of the Nintendo 3DS was neat when I could look into the screen, but I didn't actually need for things to pop out. I admit I've never tried VR, but it's not like I don't have the possibility to do so either - Nintendo Labo is right there. I just don't see VR as something for me, so it's totally subjective. Realism in game is all fine and dandy, as long as they don't try to grab me into it. That's not a line that's supposed to be crossed - again, in my opinion at least.

@1967design
... why would anyone ever need Crash Bandicoot on VR?
I'm not sarcastic, trolling or anything. Just genuinely puzzled.

@Flaming_Kaiser
Nothing. Just wanted to post the usual "but no one asked for crossplay" comment on behalf of those who forgot Sony abandoned the no-crossplay thing a while ago. It might be petty, sure, but there are more pettily-worded takes on the matter.

As long as it's a timed exclusivity only on Sony's part and not a dumb Sony-Microsoft, non-Nintendo and non-PC exclusivity, I'd totally be fine with this being PS5's baby for tonight. I don't mind Crash being tied to Sony at all this time around. Impress us, Sony!

@ApostateMage
Kojima might be an insufferable genius at times, but I doubt that his thoughts on the matter can be summed up as such.

@Agramonte
That way, you can have an opinion that inevitably ends up being the same as the reviews, but with sixty or seventy less bucks. Sound advice.

@naruball
I'm a writer for an Italian site. Trust me, minimum word limits are the spawn of the devil when the news can be contained in the friggin' title. Push Square writers are lucky people.

You may me know me as the Nintendo guy here, but I actually got my gaming start on PS1. Crash Bandicoot was my gateway to gaming, and by extension what cemented my love for platformers period. Given the gradual shift towards mature-only offerings on Sony's part and my own need of a portable Crash back in the day, the GBA was the way to go and that's when I got to know the plumber in red.
That said, however, I did get a PS2 once the Wii came around, mostly thanks to the discounted price. However, it was mostly as a companion piece to my GBA, given my first Kingdom Hearts game was Chain of Memories. Other than that and the PSP giving the original Crash and Spyro games some long overdue portability, that was it for Sony systems for me. Owned an used Xbox 360 not long after, and then I got an Xbox One to get all the third-party games my Wii U couldn't afford.

All of this introduction - I'm wordy, bear with me - just to say that I'm rooting for Crash Bandicoot. I might have gotten Crash and Spyro on Switch (sorry, @ShogunRok), but I'm currently planning to revert to PS5 for my third-party needs during the next generation. Being a Nintendo guy, graphics won't do it for me; rather, it will all boil down to the games presented... and, if you've paid attention to my PS2 story, the price. No matter what Jim Ryan isn't willing to say about it.

Given I'm not apparently going to afford a PS5 at launch, however, I'm wishing the best for the console reveal, for the sake of all of you who can get it. Best of luck, of games, and everything else.

@DavLFC
It's clearly black.
Oh, fudge. I've brought up 2020's equivalent of the white/gold dress, didn't I.

@teknium_
I've been a Wii U player during the bleakest era that console had. Believe me, you PS people know nothing about the agony third-party support (or lack thereof) can bring.

I guess if the price will be out of the players' league, at least the new console will be able to play RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDGE RACEEEEEEEEERRRRR.

I've been meaning to make that joke ever since I became a news-sites regular.

"Get rid of those Nintendo Gamecube cobwebs in the comments below."

Never change, PS.

Just to close the circle, Nintendo's own Eiji Aonuma claimed to have taken inspiration from Red Dead Redemption 2 for Breath of The Wild's sequel.

Eeyup, things are looking up alright.

Guys, you already know the plot of the game.
It's a zombie apocalypse with MUSHROOMS.
Game's a stealth prequel to the Mario universe. The end.

@Matroska
All publicity is good publicity, as Rockstar Games taught us time and time again. Visibility is important no matter what.

@TrueAssassin86x
I wouldn't want to be a PS4 fan, though.
Not "fan" as in "gamer", but "fan" as in "actual ventilating component". Summer is gonna be rough on those.

@Chryssy75
I'm thoroughly amused by how, despite specifically stating that most of my trolling was contained within my first two comments, I still managed to ruffle some feathers.
Anyway, your point about not buying the game is immediately made moot by the fact I don't own a PS4 for the time being, so I'm afraid the joke is on you.

@GKO900
Because the PS4's graphics can only shine whenever you're surrounded by the walls of your fancy house.
Came back to this article years later and just thought I should, y'know, state the obvious.

@sawaoyamanaka
Who, me? I've incased all the trolling I could get away with in the first two comments. I'm going to be polite in this thread from now on.

@get2sammyb
Not to mention its development!

I wish this site was Italian, just to reply with Caparezza's "Kevin Spacey" song. For those curious, it's a song entirely made of movie spoilers.
Hell, whatever, it's in Italian, so only the few users from the Boot will understand it. Here it is.

"Here's something we're sure you're delighted to read."
Do I even need to state the obvious?

@GoblinKing86
The (fortunately gone) Fortnite PS4 account lock says hello.

The "making friends" headline is worth a chuckle, considering the... peculiar stance the site had on cross-play before.

"Soon" as a word literally lost most of its meaning thanks to gaming alone. I'm not saying "PlayStation", either. Nintendo, Xbox, PC. "Soon" as we know it in the dictionary does not exist.
Case in point:

I love how the trailer made it clear that Friendships were always meant to be an out-of-place, non-contextual rebuttal to media watchdogs.
