Wouldn't that kind of depend on who develops it?

Exactly. That's my thought. They could have simply said Yes. On the other hand, Boyes said earlier to ask Activision on the matter. It seems something is definitely happening.
Gee, I don't know. A 3D platformer with a fixed overhead camera built around pure platforming action. I'm not sure if such a game could possibly be relevant nowadays.
I mean, sure, there are some key differences between Crash 1-3 and Mario 3D World, but there's a lot of similarities too.

HNNNNNNNNG!
A rumoured Parappa game using the Tearaway engine, Crash back in the arms of Sony. All I need now is a Jumping Flash! revival and my jaw will be dislodged by my spontaneous erection.

Holy shit, I remember this. Here's my contribution from yesteryear: http://i996.photobucket.com/albums/af85/ManhattanTheStarr/BringBackTheBandicoot_zpse92248cb.png (lol, iirc, I made that only about a few months back)
But anyways, my god, if this is actually happening, and the game turns out to be a smash hit... I might have to consider purchasing a PS4 in the future...

Jumping Flash?? Yes, please. Now give me a cheesily acted, single player WarHawk sequel, and I'm golden.

The dotted line probably has not been signed yet and it may be uin legal review. As with any business agreement, Boyes cannot comment at all in regards to something he doesn't own, as it could hinder the final outcome of the agreement, or piss of Activision, so they pull the deal off the table. Me thinks it's already done and an announcement will be made at VGAs....
if this turn out to be true, it'll only be good if naughty dog is developing it.
and i would jump for joy.
that said, i can't help but feel all those people excited for sony to own the ip are simply ecstatic for 'console war' reasons.
that and no developer/publisher today is making any real, non-'download only' effort with the platforming genre except for nintendo.
if sony really wanted to make some waves in that genre again they wouldn't need crash for that. they already have a stable library of quality platforming ip's.

Hopefully they're not making a new Crash game. Get Naughty Dog to do it or don't bother at all.

This has been one rollercoaster of a thread. I was so hyped, and then Boyes crushed it last night with his tweet, but now it's back to being possible? I think I need to go ly dow

I'm sure I read somewhere that Activision have confirmed they still own the rights to Crash.
The fact that he couldn't just come out and say "yes" to such a simple question makes me think something is indeed going down. ITS HAPPENING.

If Activision refused to comment but Boyes said they still own the IP then what's going on? I suppose Activision do still own it on a technicality and are in the process of selling it but the deal hasn't gone through yet.
