one of the best & most faithful remakes ever made, well deserved. If only Spyro got this much attention

 

[ReBurn]

Is that good?

 

[nial]

The fuck? 20 million units? Well, it's also the only good Crash Bandicoot game (plus CTR remake) since 1999, so nice job all around.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

Holy shit, I had no idea that Crash still had anywhere near this level of mainstream popularity.

Wonder if he’ll be in the next Smash Bros lol

 

[lestar]

n-sane!

 

[DeepEnigma]

Now show us the splits.

I think it just exploded in popularity with kids these days; I keep seeing toys of the games in a supermarket, in fucking Ecuador out of all countries.

 

[tr1p1ex]

how much revenue?

Weird! But that makes me happy to hear.

I wish Naughty Dog still made games like this instead of their joyless AAA cinematic shit.

 

[Mownoc]

The 2nd highest for a 3d platformer ever? Behind only Super Mario Odyssey I think.

 

[wvnative]

I am so glad other people liked this.

But for me, it's one of the most disappointing game releases of all time. The Hitbox issue single handedly ruined it for me, and every vehicle level actually feels WORSE than the PS1 originals.

Loved the Visuals/Audio though, and despite the issues, the updated save system makes Crash 1 probably a better experience here. I refuse to play 2 and 3 with this collection though.

Pretty amazing it's sold that much though.

I'm also disappointed/baffled that there were never any PC mods that tried to fix the game's problems.

 

[Holammer]

Let's get the obligatory "Where's Crash Team Racing for PC?" over with.
Anyway, very cool!

 

[kiphalfton]

Now show us the splits.

Switch: 70%
PS: 20%
PC: 9%
Xbox: 0% (rounding)

 

[DJ12]

Wonder if they count psn+ downloads as 'sold through'

 

[Shut0wen]

Not really that faithful since 1 and 2 have the same movement as the 3rd game, adds to bullshit misses

 

[Roman Empire]

The fuck? 20 million units? Well, it's also the only good Crash Bandicoot game (plus CTR remake) since 1999, so nice job all around.

Still a crime CTR remake never got a current-gen patch or a PC port. The loading times on that one makes it unplayable for me, all that could be sorted out with a current-gen patch or pc port, but I guess they don't like money.

 

[analog_future]

Well earned! Great games.


Now bring them to Game Pass ffs

 

[solidus12]

Now show us the splits.

Do you think that the Xbox acquisition had a role in them achieving this milestone?

 

[Magic Carpet]

A guy got in trouble at work because of this game. He didn't get fired, but I remember it was a thing.
He kept calling a girl who's name was Brandi, 'Crash Brandi-Cute'.

 

[Krathoon]

An important thing to point out is that the PlayStation version of Crash Team Racing has extra content.

I made the mistake of getting the Xbox version.

 

[64gigabyteram]

Switch: 70%
PS: 20%
PC: 9%

ya think Switch sold more than PS?

 

[Fake]

The best Crash design. The new one is total trash.

 

[Blood Borne]

has CTR been updated to 60fps?

 

[Shake Your Rump]

They gave this away free on PSplus. Do those sales count?

one of the best & most faithful remakes ever made, well deserved. If only Spyro got this much attention

If I recall correctly, it was 30fps. I tried it and it was unplayable on my OLED compared to the PS1 edition.

The Spyro remakes were awesome, though.

 

[Ev1L AuRoN]

Maybe they should patch it to 60fps to celebrate.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Good set of remakes but I'm surprised this collection moved so many units. Outside of the first game, I'm not really feeling Crash. I wouldn't call them particularly good platformers. Too many levels are straight up trash, especially in the third game, Warped.

 

[Sushi_Combo]

How much did it sell on the Xbox though?

 

[Same ol G]

Switch: 70%
PS: 20%
PC: 9%
Xbox: 0% (rounding)

How did you come with that split, does it have someting to do with your mongloid genetics or something

 

[Bernoulli]

i hope we get a Switch 2 boost, i love playing crash on handheld mode

This will have sold piles and piles of units to people who played Crash as a kid and aren't particularly bothered about video games in general now. Own a Switch they picked up cheap and fancied a nostalgic moment.

 

[Kataploom]

Ok this is good, I don't play those games but we need more variety in the industry and it's good people are voting with their wallets, specially after the game barely gets any sale or price cut

 

[winjer]

This was on an Humble Bundle, so some sales were from this.
But still, that is a lot of copies. I never imagined this trilogy would sell so much.

 

[Radical Dreamer]

Such a great series. 4 was too complex imo.

 

[THE DUCK]

Pretty crazy they aren't brining this out on gamepass to celebrate. I mean does ms want gamepass to succeed or not really?

 

[Saber]

Its an incredibly faithfull remake, no wonder people love it.
I'm still waiting for a better treatment for Nitro Fueled. That is another freaking great game that would do alot better with a 60 fps patch.
Any other Crash that they made after those 2 were garbage though.

 

[Shadowstar39]

Only ps4/ps5.. Grrr... Already have it on that. Where is the sale for the switch version? I swear this never goes on sale there and if it does it's bundled with spyro for a higher price like $30. Wife has spyro on switch so it's a waste.

I swear they know people would want it on switch so they don't put it on sale. Greedy activision.

Sony is probably kicking itself for selling this and syro ips to them back in the ps1 era. Although Sony doesn't do mascot games anymore much.

 

[TropicanaTwista]

Holy shit, I had no idea that Crash still had anywhere near this level of mainstream popularity.

It really only seems to be the remake. Crash 4 only sold about 5 million-ish copies the last they announced, iirc. Still a respectable number for a non Mario platformer but looks like a big push for the OG trilogy was really just a nostalgia play.

 

[SHA]

N-sane numbers!!!

 

[Killer8]

one of the best & most faithful remakes ever made, well deserved. If only Spyro got this much attention

The Spyro trilogy remaster was pretty good. I'd put it at least on par with the Crash remaster.

 

[kiphalfton]

ya think Switch sold more than PS?

How did you come with that split, does it have someting to do with your mongloid genetics or something

Just because the OG games were PlayStation exclusives, doesn't mean they sold more on PS than Switch...

You under-estimate the switch game sales, especially for stuff like this (i.e. rated E game, value due to multiple games in one set, games that aren't super graphically intense and will look fine on switch when compared to PS, people preferring mobile, etc.)

 

[bosnianpie]

I knew it did well but these are pretty crazy numbers despite being across several platforms, right?

Gives me hope for a Crash 5 one day.

 

[Dacvak]

Man, that’s crazy. Especially since Crash games aren’t even good.

Yeah I said it.

 

[tomato shrub]

If only someone else had the IP ... Sekiro too. Anybody but Activision/Spencer would kill for this kind of success. But nooo, just calladoody now

I agree, i was just joking mooreberg style.
B.t.w. he's still offline

 

[SportsFan581]

Great news. The remake was really well done.

 

[nial]

Sony is probably kicking itself for selling this and syro ips to them back in the ps1 era.

They never owned the IPs, that was part of the deal with Universal Interactive.

Although Sony doesn't do mascot games anymore much.

Not as bad as people believe, I know that PS5 has more first-party 3D platformers than Switch.

 

[Robb]

Love me some Crash! Can’t believe MS let go of Toys for Bob.. Hopefully they’ll let them make more games in both the Crash and Spyro series.

 

[Kenneth Haight]

Would also be nice if they patched CTR to 60fps on Series X|S and PS5

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Now of those 20 million, how many actually completed the game?
