PlayStation Access presenter Hollie Bennett was left a curious welcome home present at her abode. She was greeted with a pair of fuzzy dice and a note attached that read “sliding into the game awards on 6/12” which is the date that The Game Awards is set to take place. Considering the tremendous success of the Crash Bandicoot remaster on the consoles and even the PC, Activision would be foolish to not leverage the potential of a Crash Team Racing Remaster announcement at the event.
Crash Team Racing Remaster – A Good Kart Racer Game?
We all know the indisputable king of kart racing is Garfield Kart Mario Kart. Unfortunately, this leaves out Sony, Microsoft and PC gamers from having a pick of the litter of other titles. Sony did try their hand with Kart racing on the PS3 and the PSVita with Modnation Racers, but it just wasn’t the same.
Perhaps a multi-platform Kart racer is a right solution after all? Considering the lack of good Kart racing games on non-Nintendo platforms, Crash Team Racing would be a welcome change.
So….uh….these just arrived at my house.
Any ideas? ???????? pic.twitter.com/x0MRYihWvg— Hollie Bennett (@HollieB) December 4, 2018
What’s really curious about the note and the dice is their color. They’re the same color as our favorite Bandicoot. Plus, what else could possibly give a hint of sliding other than a Kart racing game?
Seeing as how Activision has already built the game, the universe and all its characters from the ground-up just for the remastered games, it would make sense to utilize all of those assets for a spectacular Crash Team Racing game.
The Game Awards is set to take place on the coming Thursday, the 6th of December. Unfortunately those who are not in the US will have to stay up pretty late if they want to watch the show live, which is kind of a bummer.
With all that said, what are your thoughts on the potential of seeing Crash Team Racing again? A game that was originally released in 1999 brought back to the beautiful look and feel of the Crash Bandicoot Remastered games?
