10 Hotly-Anticipated Video Games That Must Be At E3 2017

4. Crash Team Racing HD

You know it, we know it, Sony knows it. There's only one way to follow up the confirmation from last year that Crash was returning in the N. Sane Trilogy, and that's an HD remake of CTR i.e. the finest kart racer of all time.

Yes, all time. It would take Mario Kart 8 separate instalments to get to the sort of speed and power-up balanced variety that Crash nailed back in 1999, and that impact wasn't lost on Sony fans. Literally everyone who had a PS1 had CTR, and giving it a fresh coat of paint would also provide the biggest new-age feature that wasn't around back in the day: Online matchmaking and seasoned tournaments.

Any major kart racing franchise going online would be a perfect fit for any service as widespread as the PSN or Xbox Live, making the notion of CTR HD a question of when, not if. Yes, Mario Kart was playable online for the five people who owned Wii Us, and the Switch version will also be doing the same later in April, but those user bases are nowhere near the populace that own PS4s and Xbox Ones.

Rekindle those Crash Team Racing fires, Sony, it's time.
