(Rumor)(spoilers) this Possible UC4 Easter Egg oh boy

Yea, it's a total clusterfuck.
I'm a little thankful Crash ended up at Activision because Vivendi eventually sold it's stake in Universal and now they are a part of Comcast. I can't imagine what Comcast would have done with him since they don't even make video games, but it wouldn't have been good.
Vivendi still owned the IP even after selling off Universal though. Activision split from Vivendi back in 2013, dragging Crash along with them.
Yeah that makes sense. It really shows how far Crash ended up from where he started. What a mess.
Yeah, it makes you wonder how corrupted Universal was during all of this. Dave Siller, who was the producer on the original Crash Bandicoot mentioned that Universal was the best place to work at until they were sold off to Seagram who pretty much fucked everything up and costed him a job.

Comcast also didn't run themeparks until they bought NBCUniversal, and that's been a godsend for the parks

What happens if someone beats her highscore? Does this unlock a trophy and trigger a special cutscene and dialogue and reward you with a special thing?

I wouldn't be surprised if the first two things happened (trophy pop + special dialogue), but I doubt that a special item would be unlocked. Who knows, maybe it'll be tied to an elaborate puzzle that'll give the first unlockers of it access to a trailer of the Crash reboot?

Wait is it actually playable?! I thought it was just a cutscene
nope its playable and it sounds like its not even an Easter egg, just part of the story.
Yup.

Noo! Make Jak 4!
These types of posts man.. Smh. Why do people have to be like "fuck those fans of a franchise that I dont like, make a game for me Sony!"
Naughty Dog doesn't have that talent, or for that matter, the co-creators who made both Jak and Crash. So don't expect them to make games true their form. Look up Jak 4 concpet art that ND had brewing up.

That particular scene in the OP holding the game case didn't happen in the video posted. From where was it taken then?
I love it when people jump the gun on what an Easter egg is

The answer to that question is a big ol' spoiler.
It would be grand if Crash did his trademark victory dance when you beat Elana's high score.
If not, well, that was a missed opportunity on Naughty Dog's end.
It's from the end of the game when a certain character (who I won't say) finds the game case.
Nice, so two references to crash so far.

Did we ever get confirmation on what exactly appears in the credits roll for UC4? If Crash was a property of Activision, wouldn't it say so there?
Yeah I'm still waiting for this!
Unknown?
Member
Yeah they'd have to give credit to Activision, right?
Essentially yes. You don't play the game at the end as far as I know, you just look at the game case.
I asked a guy on here who played the game and he said he didn't notice, but he wasn't paying attention to the credits most of the time. Take that as you will.
Anyone else noticed that the image in the OP has been deleted?
The truth is out there!
They're onto us!

Crash Bandicoot was the treasure Drake was looking for all along confirmed!
Still though, it's pretty rare and cool having two references to Crash in one game.
Oh yeah, the fact there's not one but two references is great.

BUT WHICH COPYRIGHT HOLDER?!
Probably ND seeing as it's technically from their game.
Still surprised we don't have an answer on if Activision's name is in the credits or not.
Yeah; you think that would've been the biggest piece of news from the people that beat the game. Maybe ND Ninjas woke up in time to silence that bit of the credits?
Well Sony took down the leaked video, right? So it must be them?
That's a good point. I have no idea then.
Its not its "KA"

Someone must have at least seen the credits to report on it right? Aren't there tons of copies in the wild currently? On Gaf?
Yeah. I mean, even if there's nothing there, that's a big story. Hell, since that means Sony would own Crash, that'd be the big story.
Im trying to remember here what are all the signs that point to a Crash Bandicoot revival?
First was this
then the ones I remember are Shawn Layden shirt, the Robomodo thing, NECA Toys dude and now this. What are the other ones? (apart from the insider info we have)

NECA was debunked.
Some website domains were updated. PlayStation social media has been throwing around Crash references for a while.

I dont buy the debunking of the NECA thing. The director of the company who has made a bunch of Playstation videogames figurines would be tricked by such a shitty fan mockup?
Or is it something else that I dont recall?

Yeah, I don't believe for a second that the guy got confused by that terrible fan box art. That was such a shitty excuse. I still consider NECA a hint.
For a guy who's apart of business that put great detail to their work, you would've think he would be able to tell that wasn't legit. Wouldn't he? 😕. I don't even know.
