I must say, most of that merchandise is awfully tempting to get your hands on.
I'd love to get that Crash crate mug.

And we have our first Crash 3 footage:
It's one of the future stages. I like how it looks, the animation for when Crash enters the level could do with a bit of work, though.
EDIT 3: Okay, there's a LOT of stuff. I'd recommend checking out the Crash Bandicoot subreddit.

Edit: wrong reaction gif.
Those videos just increased my already high hype level for the game's release.
Tomb Wader is one of my favorite Crash Bandicoot levels of all time. Probably my favorite from Warped.

I don't think that GIF tends to be used for this sort of scenario, it's usually when someone gets royally owned.
Another cool thing, both Crash and Coco now do the dance, and it's actually rather adorable:

Well damn, the new voice actor for Uka Uka sounds real damn menacing. Though I wonder why they got rid of the devilish red background from the original game over screen.
Anyways this new footage looks great, I would have to say I'm mostly satisfied, all the levels look great if not better than the original... with the exception being Tomb Wader. I don't know... something just seems off. The water looks more like fog than actual water, which is kind of a shame because this was one of my favorite levels in Warped.
Otherwise the detail in these new remastered levels are beautiful, especially orange asphalt, I'm loving that sunset.

I agree about the water. Overall though, I'm content with what I've seen of Warped so far, minor issues aside. I especially like the look of the futuristic level; the metallic textures and lighting are well done here.
I'm really interested in seeing Dingodile now.
Also, what would you guys prefer after the N Sane trilogy?
A CTR remake?
A brand new Crash title?
Maybe a Wrath of Cortex remake? Crunch became quite an established character throughout the PS2 era, so it'll be kinda weird if that character is totally absent from the potential new Crash canon, onset by a revised "Crash 4"

Probably a new Crash title using the classic format, but also trying to create something new at the same time.

Pretty much what Rayfist said, new title building upon the foundations of what Vicarious Visions has learned from the N Sane Trilogy. I don't want them to play things too safe, mind. Perhaps one day we might see something that tries a more ambitious spin of the formula like Twinsanity, but for now, I think re-establishing Crash's core tenants is probably the best way to go, with some experimentation.

Here's some food for thought:
Ray502 wrote:About the potential new game, it would be interesting to see a combination of Twinsanty and CSB/Warped. Make the game free roaming, while retaining the gameplay of CSB/Warped, though making the crystals and gems more of an optional task but having to collect them in order to finish 100%, like getting all gems in the first Crash game.
Pretty much a clash of the original trilogy games and Twinsanty.
A Wrath of Cortex remake wouldn't be too bad either. Though some of the vehicle/flying levels would need to be ditched first.

Eh, most of it looks like a pass, though the kaychains are pretty cute.

Hmm, those crate mugs do look kinda tempting, though the shape of them is pretty awkward and probably wouldn't make for pleasant tea drinking.

As a self-proclaimed mug fan I like the look of that last mug, but I've had first hand experience with cube shaped mugs. They're surprisingly not very impeding when it comes to drinking, but when you wash them you get specs of dirt in the corners that are hard to get out...
Whoops, sidetracked into mug discussion

With all the Warped gameplay videos surfacing and just for some fun, I complied a list of my favorite levels from the game and naturally, the levels I'm hyped the most for when playing the remastered version of the game.
1. Tomb Wader
2. Hang'em High
3. Gone Tomorrow
4. High Time
5. Gee Wiz
