Are we sure this is a new design and not just a previously existing special poster design?

 

[Hot Coldman]

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.

Well, they re-released the first two games, and then made a new game that was exactly what Rare wanted to make and was fucking awesome, if for totally different reasons than the originals. That's pretty respectful, really- better than what Perfect Dark and Conker got.

They could have mined out the series to some z-tier developer and made tons of naff Banjo sequels.

 

[Fox Mulder]

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

well it seemed like something was up when Sony couldn't get Crash for their smash brothers clone. Activision uses Spyro for skylanders and Crash seemed like an obvious addition at some point too. I doubt they'd just release another Crash game out of nowhere first.

 

[Uncle Rupee]

If there is a new one coming, he should look as close to this as possible:

Or maybe without the goggles, just oldschool Japanese Crash:

And this one is pretty great because he looks demented

But really, there's no coming back from this. I haven't played any of the games since #2, and looking at some of these later games makes me puke.

 

[cw_sasuke]

Popeye ?

 

[Vert boil]

 

[throwawayname]

Leave Crash alone!

 

[Kouichi]

I like it. Much better than Tribal Crash.

 

[Baconsammy]

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

I'm down for all that except for Kirby. Those games do nothing for me.

Now I wish Sony would give the first Crash trilogy the HD remake treatment, and I despise HD remakes. Ditto for Kart.

Ummmmmm you should really play 3, and CTR. They're pretty much Naughty Dog's best games.

 

[Uncle Rupee]

But did you play Epic Yarn?

I know, but at the time a third game so soon kinda wore me out on them.

 

[Santiako]

Is he standing on a muffin?

[KAL2006]

I wonder if a proper Crash game would sell. Why doesn't Activition go for a sequel that gets back the old fans. Call it Crash Bandicoot 4 and make it like the original trilogy.

 

[Baconsammy]

But did you play Epic Yarn?

Yep, and you won't like my opinion. Don't click on it.

Spoiler

baby game

 

[enzo_gt]

Well, it's not as mortally offensive as Spyro anyways, but still very unnecessary.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

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

??

There were like 2 on the 360.

 

[Tizoc]

^Not everyone owns a 360 though @3@

In this current gen, I find these types of games work well as digital downloads.

 

[73V3N]

Looks like he was into cocaine all those years

 

[Reversed]

Now he has a golden buckle and Mickey Mouse gloves.

Me like. I was missing that artistic freedom we had from Naughty Dog.

 

[MoonsaultSlayer]

Seems like he's into MMA with those arms, hands and gloves.

 

[Skidd]

Hey guys, remember this?

Not to mention the Kart game with the same artstyle :<

 

[Jocchan]

Poster on the right = Guitar Hero reboot?

 

[TimmiT]

Oh yeah, I remember that. I really like the design they had for Crash in that game.

Poster on the right = Guitar Hero reboot?

According to their Wikipedia page, they were actually working on Guitar Hero 7 before it got cancelled: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vicarious_Visions

 

[Fox Mulder]

Yep, and you won't like my opinion. Don't click on it.

that's unfortunate. Kirby has always been cute and colorful, but Epic Yarn has a unique art style and built gameplay around it.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

so is he like....Popeye, now?

 

[SmithnCo]

Now this design, I like. Simple and effective. Shame the project didn't take off.

 

[Kayo-kun]

Crash Bandicoot was my first game on PSX and my favourite franchise back when I just got the platform. That cancelled Crash game looked decent, I wish I'll be able to play one more great Crash game like 1-3 in my lifetime. Oh I even loved CTR.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Looks like he's gonna be in Skylanders for sure.

 

[Ray51]

I want this crash.

Crash's design here is quite reminiscent of how he was in the PS1 days.

I like it.

 

[Dog Pile on the Rabbit]

Looks fine aside from Popeye arms. Those just look weird and unCrash like. Face looks like early Naughty Dog art, that's pretty cool.

 

[Poyunch]

Vicarious Visions is still alive? Huh, good for them.

 

[JDSN]

Sometimes (majority), less is better.
I would say its even better than his original design, dat black dot eyes.

 

[jonno394]

Epic 70's moustache and haircut.

This Crash looks like he could have his own obnoxious yet entertaining TV show.

 

[Sapphire Dreams]

When did Crash turn into Wreck it Ralph ?

 

[cuyahoga]

Are we sure this is a new design and not just a previously existing special poster design?

Yeah, VV has made like five Crash games before, and that rock art is from a cancelled game. I'm unconvinced this is something new, rather than something that has been there from years.

AFAIK Vicarious Visions is purely a Skylanders support studio, leading side projects for web and iOS.

 

[Mariolee]

I want this crash.

Next Gen Graphics using the Bandicoot Engine.

 

[The Atticus]

looks like this will crash 'n burn
eh guys?

 

[Hot Coldman]

I wish VV could make another game in the vein of their Spyro/Spider-Man/Wolverine portable games, those were pretty good for what they were. Decent side-scrolling action games, kinda like a low-rent Dust.

Maybe do that with Skylanders? Hell, it'd be more interesting than the console games.

 

[Callibretto]

ugh, that is really bad, I'll take tribal tattoo crash over this one.

 

[Tagg9]

Definitely looks like Skylanders style. Still, I don't really care what style it is as long as we get more Crash Bandicoot.

What I would give for a CTR hd remake with online...

I would kill you and many more people for it. I spent so much time playing CTR as a kid.

 

[Exentryk]

[Lupin3]

Horrible.

This is correct!

 

[Globox_82]

No Naughty Dog, don't give a shit!

 

[Khezu]

Everyday is upper body day.

 

[noobasuar]

Who cares what he looks like, the games are going to be shit either way.

 

[GolazoDan]

Seems like he's into MMA with those arms, hands and gloves.

Crash Bandicoot was the original bad boy of the octagon, tapped Ken Shamrock out with ease.

 

[SegaManAU]

Looks shit.

Why did the ever fuck with the oringial design? It was perfect.

I wish they would stop raping my childhood.
