.......not manes games, spin offs FYI 

Please use proper grammar. Anyhow, I provided the links that indicated a possible release, including the fact that it's now up to Activision, who usually release their stuff on all relevant consoles and PC, where the game is released. It's not Sony. It's not Naughty Dog. It's Activision's decision. They can just decide that they want it on PC, and then call up Naughty Dog and tell them to compile a build immediately, and Naughty Dog would have to comply.

That doesn't make sense. Love 'em or hate 'em, these games were all main series.

not on the main series

it looks like you're saying that Crash won't come out on other platforms because if they do, they are apparently crappy ports, and so they don't count

not exactly,   i was talking about the amount of work it will take to port this game to PC, most likely won't happen.

It would take very little work to port it to PC. Just make sure you have mouse/keyboard controls included in your control system (a one day job for a single developer, if it's not already done by default, which depends on the engine), and then go into wherever you have your build settings, and a build an x86_64 Windows build. It doesn't need anything more. Maybe adding a few options, but that isn't a lot of work. I don't know what engine they're using, but I know that no matter what, this is not difficult for a single developer to do, let alone an entire team.

 

It's not irony when your bad grammar, lack of capitilisation, and weird phrasing, all result in a barely coherent mess.

 

I don't follow Halo, and I never have.

 

So you're telling me I shouldn't say the truth, that Activision is in charge of the publishing of Crash Bandicoot, because... why? Glass houses aren't a relevant expression. Are you telling me I am in charge of publishing Crash? I wish I were.

I am a game developer. I do this stuff myself. Porting games isn't really hard, especially when they're all 64-bit x86 machines.

What? High expectations? Asking whether people on here think the game will come out for other systems, with a decent optimism based on actual sources? Not that that's got anything to do with glass houses.

Games don't work differently because of their budget.

You shouldn't say anything about quoting. You put two quotes of mine in there that you did not address.

..yes they do, different budget games have different expectations to fulfill.

I was stating a fact. I was highlighting how Activision has full control over the publishing of any current and future Crash games. That's not entitled. That's a fact.

Different expectations, sure. But this isn't making the game from scratch. It's already on PC. That's how you make a game. These things I described are very simple to accomplish. They work the same way. The same methodology, file types, workflows... it's not some magic, proprietary bullshit. You're trying to tell a game developer he is wrong about game development because he is not employed by a large corporation (which was a guess on your part; I could've been working for Activision, myself), while you aren't even a game developer at all. It makes no sense. Either tell me what, in specifics, would make it too hard for Activision and Naughty Dog to release Crash Bandicoot for the platform it was made on, or don't bother.

Yes they can. Activision own the rights to publishing it. Going around calling me, or even it, entitled isn't going to change that.

I literally got a PS4 for the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy alone. I LOVED the original series when I was young and I'm really enjoying playing through them again. Worth the money IMO.

 

Now for them to get us the Spyro games as well!

Ugh. No. Man, you don't even have a 4K monitor, even with all that fancy shit in your setup. 30 FPS is just not... ugh.

I have an Asus PB287Q (4K 60Hz) hooked up to my PS4. Sure the framerate sucks, but I don't really care about that when it comes to a console, especially just playing a game like Crash, which I originally played on a 400x600 CRT TV and is essentially a platformer anyway. I do prefer gaming on my PC (obviously, if you looked at the specs), and I would MUCH prefer them to release a PC port for the games, but I'm not confident that Activision will do that in the future. I really just wanted the game as quickly as possible. Plus since then I've picked up a couple console-exclusives that I've enjoyed, like FFXV and Horizon Zero Dawn.

 

I don't regret my purchase, and I'll continue to enjoy it in the future.

 

EDIT: I'd also like to express my surprise at your response. You asked for people to recommend a path of action for you based on their knowledge or experience of it, then you berate them for making a suggestion?

Dude, everyone has their preferences. Stop shoving yours down other people's throats.

 

If you demand 4K 60FPS, then don't even bother thinking about the current consoles.

I'm just trying to create a discussion. I'm not berating anyone. I'm trying to find the answer by using the facts I know, and the resources I have, along with you who respond to this thread. That I tell people off if they make no sense, or try to start a conflict, is normal. I know it's perhaps not the greatest idea, but I am aware that I reciprocate if people try to portray me as some sort of idiot or unpleasant person. This is not about me. This is about discussing this game and the situation. I'll keep at it if it means completely destroying my reputation on this website.

Hell, 5K is mainstream and there is even an 8K monitor out already. If I'm going to pay $380 for a console and a game at this point, I would expect something better than what the 6950 from 2011, which I bought for $24, can already do.

don't get it, if you think 5k is mainstream and you can't play games at "only 1080p 30fps " than just avoid it.

This is two years ago. It's not cheap, but it's an iMac. It's mainstream.

I am open to the idea, but tell me how it is not. You can buy it, it's affordable for a decent amount of people, and evidently, people do buy it. It's not much more expensive than their older ones were when they were new, what with their 1440p displays. 5K displays are quite common and can cost about $1000, and 4K monitors are even more so, costing only a few hundred dollars, like $500 for a decent one. That's VERY mainstream. Not to mention that 4K content is everywhere, with many people shooting their videos at 8K.

Cost does not imply market share. "Mainstream" in most contexts means it commands a majority of the market share.

 

Also the idea of a $2,500ish computer is "affordable" for a "decent amount of people" is... well... wishful thinking at best.

Okay, so let's answer your questions:

 

1. Is Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy coming to PC eventually?

No official statement has been made. So the answer is "no" until an official statement is made.

 

2. If it is, is it worth spending $380 to be able to play the game right now?

3. If it isn't, is it worth spending $380 to be able to play the game right now?

Considering you seem to demand high-end graphics on a platform that can't deliver high-end graphics, no.
