EDIT: Replaced picture with higher-res pictures Tenki posted.

what's with the giant hands?

Depressing office.

I don't care what happened to its arms, but I see its face: it doesn't seem the obnoxiously stupid last one. O God.

He'll make a great addition to the Skylanders roster

Looks really weird. What are those things he has as/on his hands ? Makes me think of boxe gloves.

No tattoos at least.

...from what I can make out of the poster, anyway.

Skylanders: Crash Bandicoot

Why do you have to kill my favorite childhood mascots Activision?

Dat moustache.
That is what this thread should be about.

I'm making it an appreciation thread.

[I]Horrible.[/I]

Oh shit Brütal Legend sequel confirmed.

I see he got tired of the sweet tats and just went for roids instead.

Why am I seeing Sven Hoek?

Yeah, I thought this as well.

[QUOTE=Watch Da Birdie;46115147]Is his tongue hanging out too?[/QUOTE]

Why yes it is

What does it say under "Crash"?

[QUOTE=Mpl90;46115170]What does it say under "Crash"?[/QUOTE]

Bandicoot.

Looks quite skylander-ish. Haven't VV developed Skylanders' 3DS and Wii U versions?

Maybe Crash will be featured in next year skylanders...

I'm more impressed by how many bottles of hand sanitizer there are

[QUOTE=Mpl90;46115170]What does it say under "Crash"?[/QUOTE]

"Team Racing 2"

get hyyyyyyyype [spoiler] :( [/spoiler]

[QUOTE=Mpl90;46115170]What does it say under "Crash"?[/QUOTE]

Bandicoot

[QUOTE=Mpl90;46115170]What does it say under "Crash"?[/QUOTE]

Looks like Bandicoot.

He looks like a less stockier version of Crunch Bandicoot with the big hands.

Terrible.

[QUOTE=Wahrer Machine;46115223]Bandicoot[/QUOTE]

Thanks. Now I see it too. Initially, it seemed something else.
Yes, there's something Skylanderish in it.

Why did crash EVER need an overhaul >.<

Crash BROdicoot.

Hmmm...

Honestly don't know how I feel about this, but if it's a normal platformer game with no toy dlc, etc. then I just hope it'll be good.

For that matter, what're the best Crash Bandicoot games on the PSP that are vita compatible? I already have 1-3 and CTR BTW.

How I wish those kind of games to make a return, I miss platform games on beefy hardware.

Is he like a rocker or something now?

Is his hand stuck in a honeypot?

His face is pretty much spot on. Someone obviously had a look at Naighty Dog's old concept art.

But why does he looks so buffed? And ditch the clown shoes. :<

I think there's a "toy" aesthetic going on, because it appears as if the platform he's standing on is composed of felt material...you can even see buttons on it.

[QUOTE=botty;46115307]Is he like a rocker or something now?[/QUOTE]

The poster he is in resembles the one on the other side of the room in that image coincidentaly enough.

I can't hate on Crash. I remember the days when he used to troll Nintendo(best gaming commercials). I also remember how Crash 3 was the best platformer and CTR is still the best Kart game ever made. Then I remember who it was that actually made those games. Then I cry.

Well that's disappointing.

Looks better than the tattooed monster, but still not as good as OG Crash.

Yeah, appears to have that 'patchwork' 'real toy' thing. Reminds me a bit of...

nintendo diss?

Nintendo platformers and rayman have kept the genre relevant while everyone else chases shooters. I wish MS had done more with Banjo Kazooie.

I dream of Sony saying "fuck it" and buying back the rights. This kinda puts a bullet in that dream once again.

That guy is rocking a mean moustache

NSMB is tired beyond belief. Rayman was a nice addition, both on console, Vita, and even the iPad game. More entries from other people, even Crash, would be welcomed. Agreed about Banjo. Microsoft has neglected him in a terrible terrible way.

There's also DKCR, Kirby and eventually a new 3D Mario.

Everybody dissed Nintendo and Mario back in the day:
