Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy

The Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is an upcoming platforming video game published by Activision, developed by Vicarious Visions, who have previously released Crash Bandicoot: The Huge Adventure, Crash Bandicoot 2: N-Tranced, Crash Nitro Kart, and Crash Bandicoot Purple: Ripto's Rampage, set to release in late June of 2017 exclusively for the PlayStation 4. The trilogy consists of remakes of the first three Crash Bandicoot games: Crash Bandicoot (1996), Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back (1997), and Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped (1998).

Trivia

 * The game being released in 2017 makes it coincide with the 20th anniversary of the release of Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back.
 * It marks the first time that Tawna has an actual speaking role.
 * The game is the first game in which Wumpa Fruit can be properly seen inside bounce crates without breaking the boxes.
 * In Crash Bandicoot, in the intro cutscene, there was a mistake where Doctor N. Brio doesn't move his mouth while talking. It has been fixed in the N. Sane Trilogy.
 * Also, in that same cutscene, N. Brio can be seen with a beaker containing unidentified chemicals, twice in the original version (the first time, he is seen mixing a beaker of purple chemicals with a beaker of green chemicals while Cortex is mutating Crash; the second time, he is holding the beaker that contains the purple chemicals as he is raising Crash into the Cortex Vortex), whereas in the N. Sane Trilogy, the beakers are completely absent.
 * On another note, in the original cutscene, Cortex is only physically seen twice (the first time is when he mutates Crash, and the second time is when he's chasing Crash to recapture him after the Cortex Vortex fails to turn him evil), whereas in the N. Sane Trilogy, he is seen more frequently.
 * Interestingly, when comparing the original cutscene to the remastered cutscene, certain aspects of the original cutscene (such as dialogue and actions) seem sped up/rushed in comparison to those in the remastered cutscene.
 * The crate counter will now be in the first game to see how many crates Crash broke.
 * Time trials will also be in the first two games instead of the third one only.
 * This is the Komodo Brothers's first appearance since Crash Bash (not counting their cameos in Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex and Joe's cameo in Crash Nitro Kart).
 * This is Pinstripe Potoroo and Dr. Nefarious Tropy's first appearance since Crash Boom Bang!, Koala Kong and Papu Papu's first appearance since Crash Twinsanity, Pura's first appearance since Crash Nitro Kart 2, and Baby T's first appearance since his only official appearance in Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped.
 * In addition, this is Fake Crash's first appearance since Crash Boom Bang! (not counting his appearance in Skylanders: Imaginators since that wasn't an official Crash Bandicoot game).
 * In a promotional picture of the characters, Koala Kong is relatively bigger compared to other characters, Komodo Joe has been made taller and Komodo Moe has been made shorter.
 * Both Wumpa Fruit and Crash's life icon will glow if the player collects Wumpa Fruit and extra lives.
 * Aku Aku has four feathers now instead of five, his goatee is now made of green leaves.
 * The trilogy will contain auto-saving for Crash 1, replacing its obsolete save system.
 * The majority of the cast is the same cast who voiced the characters in Crash Nitro Kart, Crash Tag Team Racing, Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex, Crash Twinsanity, Crash Of The Titans and Crash: Mind Over Mutant. None of the original voices who were featured in Crash Bandicoot, Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back, Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped, Crash Team Racing and Crash Bash returned to the N. Sane Trilogy. The same case was for the appearances of the characters in Skylanders: Imaginators.
 * One notable exception is Nolan North not returning to voice Doctor N. Gin for unknown reasons, instead being voiced by Corey Burton.
 * Also despite returning to voice Papu Papu in the trilogy, Dwight Schultz doesn't voice Dingodile like he did in Crash Nitro Kart and Crash Twinsanity. Fred Tatasciore would voice Dingodile instead.
 * In the original version of the second game, Crash's appearance was updated slightly, giving it a more expressive and defined appearance. In the remastered version of the second game however, Crash's appearance seems unchanged from the remastered version of the first game. Also his remastered model looks like a combination of his Naughty Dog models, albeit much more detailed, expressive and defined, rather than being based on a specific Naughty Dog model.
 * As revealed at E3 2017, Coco Bandicoot will be a fully playable character in all games of the trilogy.
 * This will mark her first ever time appearing in the first game. And the first time she is playable in the first and second games.
 * Naughty Dog themselves are referenced twice during the opening for the second game:
 * A crater bearing the Naughty Dog paw print has been added during the introduction of Cortex's space station.
 * Coco's computer screen during the opening features a scene from Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, which was developed by Naughty Dog.
 * The game referenced Crash Bandicoot in the form a Easter Egg mini-game based on the Boulders stage.
 * Also in the remastered opening cut scene of Warped A picture of Nathan Drake can be seen on the fireplace in the Bandicoot House.
