![]() The start of the trailer for the upcoming remake Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled gives us a quick glance at the past. Today, almost 20 years later, Crash Team Racing’s legacy might not be immediately transparent, but it runs through everything Naughty Dog has done since, and it will continue popping up in everything it does next. Against all rules of nature, a bandicoot became a guinea pig and the great experiment began. Fresh off the back of a successful Crash Bandicoot trilogy and in the early stages of talks with Sony about a possible buyout, the studio charted an unexpected course: to try its luck in a brand new genre and test out new ways to run a company at the same time. The year and a half that Crash Team Racing took to develop happened to be the pivotal time in the history of Naughty Dog. Look beyond the surface, though, and you’ll see an extraordinary game that pushed PlayStation beyond its limits, upset Mario Kart’s hegemony, and laid out the blueprint for Naughty Dog’s rise to the top of the video game industry. At a cursory glance, Crash Team Racing is a fun little kart racer expanding on the world of Crash Bandicoot. ![]()
