Me too, though it's worth noting Toys for Bob did not handle the Crash remasters; that was Vicarious Visions that did.
I never played that one, but I heard that the game was really hard. I kind of want to try it just to see how it is.
Yep. Although I think it will be faithful to the originals in some areas, I don't think the game is intended to replicate them; rather, I feel like it's meant to expand upon them. During my playthrough of Reignited earlier this year, I noticed some parts of the game were very faithful to the originals, while other parts felt like they really wanted to add their own spin to it instead. Now that they have the freedom to do the latter, I think we can expect something pretty wild.
