Does anyone really want a new crash game? The old ones were great, sure. But it's pretty much the kind of franchise that can't work today unless the gameplay is dumbed down and the art style is made terrible. Would score about as well as Knack.


However an HD edition of Crash 1-3 + Racing would be cool, sure.

w--wha? You are a non-believer!

I don't believe this means anything. Activision clearly doesn't care about Crash so why keep that stuff up?

I finally understand the purpose of the bin in the PS4 ad. It's not to say that Crash used to be a Sony franchise but now it's in the bin. I got it the wrong way round. It's saying that Crash is coming out of the bin to return to Sony. IT'S TOO PERFECT.

This is probably still nothing. Not getting my hopes up.

If they bought it back, it's good, but I'm not sure if in 2013 it will still be a relevant title. They would have to do a whole reboot with really great, new ideas for it to be a hit. Or, at least, to get me excited and buying a new Crash game.
 
Surprised people are so excited - I think it would be hard to get the reboot right, capturing the magic of yore while updating the game for modern times.

For it to feel like Crash they need to stick to the 'on rails' platforming action. Give me that in HD and some crazy level design and it might just work.

It's happening, isn't it? :p

Didn't the classic games perform really well on PSN?

Maybe Sony noticed that there was demand for Crash and they decided to buy the IP back.

Crash is one of the games of my childhood, it would be awesome.

Before they do anything else. PLEASE SONY GODDAMMIT IT'S BEEN MORE THAN ONE YEAR FINISH YOU PSX-VITA COMPATIBILITY FUCK FUCK FUCK.

Wait, what!? I didn't even know about that. Hype for Vita deflated :(
 
Is this like a legit possibility? I hate getting my hopes up for this kind of stuff. I finally let the Banjo-Kazooie to Nintendo dream die.

Will anyone actually care in the end?
They brought back Twisted Metal and it was actually a fantastic game on PS3 and hardly anyone bought it.
Same with Sly Cooper.

People care a lot about these characters in their minds and memories but don't actually buy games involving them.

Nobody should want Naughty Dog to do this and by all accounts, they aren't. So which Sony studio would even be capable of creating this game?

Nope. But they can use it for advertising since he is essentially a classic PlayStation mascot.
 
The PS1 trilogy and Crash Team Racing were absolute aces in that era, and I still play Crash 2 every now and again.

If they could bring Crash back properly, I don't care who owns the IP...I'd be interested.
