History YMMV / CrashBandicoot4ItsAboutTime

* [[SugarWiki/FunnyMoments Crowning Moment of Funny]]:
** The reveal of the trailer has Geoff be interrupted by a guy in a Crash suit (wearing a face mask!) announcing he has a package. Geoff is annoyed of him ''crashing'' his announcements as he goes off to see them. Cut to the security footage of a stilted moving Crash dropping a tiny package on the porch.
** During the scene of the N. Gin fight, Crash takes time to take a selfie. Seems like Coco's fond of them grew on him.
** The Blue Quantum Mask questions how many time the Bandicoots have fought Cortex. Coco simply answers "Three" and Crash nods. The mask then notes [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall "Funny. Seemed like more."]]

** Believe it or not, Crash isn't the only game franchise that slightly redesign the characters for this exact 4th installment as ''{{VideoGame/Streets Of Rage}}'' pretty much did the same thing prior in the fourth game as well. Not to mention the aformentioned ''[[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog4 Sonic 4]]''.

Not to mention the aformentioned [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog4 Sonic 4]].

** The lack of the PC, UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch and UsefulNotes/PlayStation5 ports in sight. This is due to Activision still "evaluating additional platforms" to release the game, according to PR. While it makes sense for the next gen consoles (mostly for the Playstation 5, as the UsefulNotes/XboxOne version will be cross-gen compatible with the UsefulNotes/XboxSeriesX), the lack of PC and Switch ports at launch is jarring to many, especially since ''N. Sane Trilogy'' and ''Nitro-Fueled'' sold exceptionally well on the Switch, with the latter still being absent from PC.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: For those who were worried that the post-Naughty Dog continuity would be purged with a ContinuityReboot, [[https://press-start.com.au/features/2020/06/23/crash-4-interview-retro-mode-doctor-neo-cortex-quantum-masks the devs stated in an interview shortly after the trailer dropped that the post-Naughty Dog games do still exist in some form]], which "may or may not have some reflection in this adventure."

* HilariousInHindsight: June 2020 gave us a reveal for a new game in a long-running platformer series starring an animal protagonist having to deal with their arch-enemy who is causing mayhem across multiple dimensions, all while returning to the original continuity. Are we talking about ''It's About Time'' or ''VideoGame/RatchetAndClankRiftApart''?

* EpilepticTrees: With this game seemingly making the post-Naughty Dog games [[CanonDiscontinuity non-canon]], some fans are speculating that the game will actually deal with the differing Crash continuities via multiple timelines and that Toys for Bob and Activision are purposely trying to mislead consumers to keep it a surprise reveal. [[https://press-start.com.au/features/2020/06/23/crash-4-interview-retro-mode-doctor-neo-cortex-quantum-masks/ The fact that the devs have stated in an interview that they view the post-Naughty Dog games as alternate universes which "may or may not factor into the game"]] has only added more fuel to the fire for this theory.

** The redesigns have also been another contentious point about the reveal, with many declaring them ugly and decrying them over the rather on point models of ''VideoGame/CrashBandicootNSaneTrilogy.''

%% Do not add BrokenBase, BaseBreakingCharacter or such tropes until six months until after the work releases. This rule was put in place some time ago to prevent kneejerk reactions that ultimately die down after a few months.

* BrokenBase: Fans seem to be split on the new artstyle and character redesigns for this game, with some praising them for being cute, expressive, and gorgeous to look at, and others stating they simply look ugly and that the developers should used the ''VideoGame/CrashBandicootNSaneTrilogy'' look.

** The seeming declaration that all the post-Naughty Dog games are [[CanonDiscontinuity non-canon]] at the end of the trailer has been met with some contention in the fanbase. While those who only think the Naughty Dog games are canon are happy with it, those who liked what some of the games did after the original trilogy felt it rather tactless and [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot waste of potential]] since it means getting rid of post-Naughty Dog [[EnsembleDarkhorse darkhorses]] like Crunch and Nina.
