I wonder how are they going to remake Tiny Tiger, I didn't like him much in nitro cart, looked more brainless o.O

could it maybe be because they saw how people freaked out over Spyro's design

The fanart says it all. XD

They seem to have done a better job with making Crash, which is a relief. Some features of him are a little iffy but at least he doesn't look like a brainless goblin.

I'm glad that they've also payed specific attention to the original designs and tried to replicate this in his modern design for Skylanders, giving it a more cartoon-ish look like the original concept art rather than his appearance in later titles (not to say that those weren't awful). Of course, this isn't definitely what his remastered design will look like as that will presumably be made differently, though it could also be very similar since Vicarious Visions has been/is involved with both Skylanders and the upcoming remasters .

However, this has also brought up a point over Activision's care for Crash's design compared to that of Spyro's (you can read about it over on the Spyro subredit) , but I don't really want to focus much on nor spark any sort of negativity. I'm just happy that this is happening at least

And hey, maybe crash will get to star in the upcoming Skylanders Academy TV show !

So does anyone think part of the reason they're reviving Crash is because all the popular platformers these days are 2D/sidescroller things? When's the last time there was a good, major 3D platformer? Super Mario Galaxy 2?

Yup, I think you've got a point!

I agree! He looks a lot like Charles Zembillas' original concept art. I always used to think he didn't look like the 1UP icon heads in the classic games, but now he does. I'm not really sure how well I like it, though; the head and mouth especially is a bit too dominating, he lacks som of that pointy-nosed and slim gracefulness especially seen in the Crash 2 & 3 models.

I never expected Crash to see the light of day again, so I can't complain.

Right, I'll stay positive about those. Pretty curious how they'll turn out actually.

This was my thought exactly when I saw the announcement. They mentioned the remakes for about 5 seconds and showed a Skylanders trailer. Kind of rubbed me the wrong way.

But it's still cool there are remakes in the works. Would have preferred a new old-school style game, but I never expected Crash to see the light of day again, so I can't complain.

Part of me wishes they did a Spyro remake along side Crash, but just like with the decision to remake instead of reboot the CB series, they just might be testing the waters.

My view of this decade's habit of perpetual remakes/sequels has just improved tremendously.

I'm tempted to assume this happened because Activision still don't think Crash is profitable, but didn't want to hand him over, so they're testing the waters and making some relatively risk-free money with the remakes. If this were Sony I have no doubt they would have shown us something flashy for Crash's return, like they have with their other franchises.

Kinda mixed about this one to be honest. In fact since they're doing remakes of the games, part of me would have preferred Spyro instead. =P
