It's fine. I'm sure a proper new console 3D platformer is coming, anyway. This could be a decent time-waster.

RUMOR: Promo art/screens of 'Crash Bandicoot Mobile', developed by King have leaked
- Thread starter Hero of Legend
- Start date
Not to be an ass or anything, but I really recommend people who are monkey pawing and stuff wait a fiscal quarter or two and check back in.
I reiterate, from Activision's earnings call earlier today: They announced that King was pursuing mobile adaptations of their "biggest franchises" to supplement their 'premium' (read: console) releases in those franchises. Then this happened less than 4 hours later. Connect the dots.

A Crash endless runner actually makes sense given the narrow, linear levels of the classic games. Not exactly my cup of tea, but I might download and check it out for a few minutes.
It's a mobile game with a slight different artstyle, I think some people are overeacting that this is a "redesign"
Yeah, as mentioned in the OP, we've been following it ever since it came up via a subreddit post around early December. There was like 5 variants running in 20 ads, all leading to a survey link (Google Forms) asking if you're interested in the ad
moar liek an endless BUMMER am i rite folks?
Considering how well Trilogy & CTR did, I wouldn't be shocked if it was meant to promote an upcoming new console game. As long as the microtransactions aren't bad, then it's fine. The level design of the games kinda fit the format, especially if they include levels based on riding a boar/polar bear/tiger.

It's Crash
Honestly... it's refreshing, hahaha.
i... don't hate it. it's been a few years since i've played any temple run/subway surfers, and crash is kinda perfect for a clone of those games. that name tho, it's not gonna do the game any favors. they need to call it crash bandicoot run or something.
So yo, if they're using the Crash IP now to branch out and start exploring new platforms and genres then where's that visual novel/dating simulator featuring Tawna and the trophy girls from CTR? Talk about leaving money on the table.
I mean, it's King after all. They like this XCOM scheme where you have the twitch gameplay and then the base building, which is where they get the most from MTX.
Im sure ill enjoy it for a solid halfhour before the repetitive content/progress gating settles in
Dont really get the complaints about the redesign. "Crash but slightly more angular" is really minor, like they took his design 2 degrees to the left

Skylanders tends to be played with a camera above the character, so the designs in that series emphasize larger heads because theyre more readable at that angle.Why do they keep changing his design?
Skylanders
N. Sane Trilogy
Totally. I was actually scratching my head thinking if there wasn't one game like this out already.
Crash Bandicoot:
Neat.
Mobile:
Alright.
King:
Some of the most boring devs I've had the displeasure to associate with. "Creatively Bankrupt" is their top descriptor, closely tied to "Aggressive Marketing Is The Only Reason We Exist".
