I think that anybody who's expecting backwards compatibility in the PS4 now will be in for major disappointment, seeing as Sony have said that it's not backwards compatible.

They've also said that they're not blocking pre-owned games either, so..Not sure how much truth is in that, but it's been said at least.

FOR NOW!!! :O

Its the same way we were free to use Linux at the cost of PSN....Then soon.... THIS GAME REQUIRES FIRMWARE 3.21.... Good job Sony!

Then when PS4 Slim is rolled out expect to see it.

Vicarious Visions...ehhh. If I recall, I think they handled the handheld releases, which weren't all that brilliant.

Still, nice to see the franchise making another comeback. Here's hoping its better than the first one.

Hoping being the key word for me. I liked Crash's last outings to an extent. Activision has to bring back the classic Crash platforming but with a twist. Not the twist that got us Mind over Mutant & Titans.

Do they, though? Rayman Origins brought back Rayman as we remembered him, and it was critically acclaimed.

Crash was a great platformer, so let's focus on that. No twists, no gimmicks, just a good mascot platformer.

Was yes, back when it was made by Naughty Dog. This game will get about a weeks worth of development time and a $5 budget.

I would like something akin to Twinsanity in the humor and script. Other than that...

Please have the gameplay polished just enough I can enjoy this 'game' V.V. Doesn't have to be Naughty Dog-good, like just about.
