Totally on board with this. I've been disappointed with the direction Sony's firsr party efforts have gone, and would love to see some more gameplay-focused titles out of their studios like in the PSX days. A new Crash from a proper developer (preferably ND or Cerny's team) would be a great asset to diversify the lineup.

I feel this image in a teaser implies Sony is getting Crash back

They would need to make Crash games first for a cycle to be created.
if they made a big budget game. yeah. obviously it can't command an uncharted budget. but i think the character returning would be enough marketing to get people interested by playing with ps1 nostalgia. it's not like sonic where there's a game every year, there hasn't been an old school crash in ages.
if you look at the psn sales charts all the crash games are consistent high sellers. up there with ffvii. i think there's a market.
Bizarf. Daxter and Lost Frontier were terrible.
The company who made Sly 4 would be an acceptable choice.
Sony have made it clear a lot of things they're doing isn't about the market. It's about us, the core gamers.
While I would buy it, I honestly don't see more than one game being made no matter the developers or budget. Platformers on non nintendo systems are dying. And Crash doesn't have a lot of recognition (he's sly level). I'd guess the game would be treated like sly 4. Given to a small developer and released quietly at a discounted price. It would be cheaper to make an hd remake.
Crash bandicoot games on psn are always at the top of the ps1 charts so I would say more people know him then sly.
If they revealed anything there would be no fun left.
Plus this seems like the kind of ultimate super secret thing that only a very select group of people know.

I'm pretty sure it is him. It fits perfectly.
Nice. o.o
Hahahaha... completely forgot all about these... Good stuff.
I would love to see a Mario Galaxyesq game from Crash, otherwise im not sure entirely how this would work. Hopefully not a dark transformation into GTA+Crash like Jak and Daxter did, but what do I know, I'd buy it anyways...

I thought the whole thing was crazy, but this sold me.
Wow. If Sony truly did rebuy the Crash rights with the intention of making Crash 4, I would fucking lose my mind.

Crash = dead ip
Spyro = the hero of Skylanders
I don't think Sony has enough money to buy Spyro.

No, you sir are wrong. Both titles reviewed really well. Personally, I love the flight combat and the upgrading of ships in Lost Frontier. But then again, I am playing on Vita so I have the luxury of the right analog stick to control the camera.
I will defend Lost Frontier to the death, but beyond a few standout levels and some smart design decisions (i like how they handled the health/phases of the bosses- follows the rule of 3 while giving a longer fight) Daxter is pretty mediocre. I was most shocked when the credits rolled and the writers turned out to be from Naughty Dog

If there's a new Sony Crash game I hope the bosses' names fade away with the segments of their health bars like in the original trilogy. Always liked that for some reason.

Crash has been in enough bad games these last years, leave him alone.
Your loss for missing out on PSASBR, it's never leaving my Vita.
Character DLC, take the game to PS+ next year and then make a new crash game, not (just) HD remake of the classics, if need be, do those afterwards. Keep it cheap, pretty and faithful. Add enough challenge because kids don't care about crash how we want him, it's for the fans.

Hasn't Skylanders completely transcended Spyro at this point? He's just one of a hundred plus characters, isn't he? So if they sold him off (which I doubt they'd be interested in doing anyway), they could just remove him from the game and the series would be perfectly fine. Or as part of the purchase, Sony could give Activision a free license so that they can continue including him.
Activision should just rename their "Spyro" Pugsy.

Couldn't this just mean that "Crash likes Sony Computer Entertainment" ?
Like he's giving it the thumbs up!

He was their mascot in the 90s, I remember that clearly, but not anymore, the seemed happy to sell him off to Activision. As of right now I feel like Drake is the ideal mascot for their brand, a GQ-esque hero that appeals to 20 to 30 something audiences and substantially less geeky than master chief with 50x more charisma and charm.

Was he actually sold to Activision from Sony? I thought Naughty Dog at the time worked for Universal Studios, and then Activision bought it off them or something.

Knack plays like Crash Bandicoot did - do you all really want more of that?
