Crash Bandicoot is one of the few big name games I never played as a kid. Can anyone explain why you guys are excited over it coming back? Especially since that might mean it'd be Naughty Dog doing that over, perhaps, a new IP?

And have the old games aged well? Maybe I should try one out...

They're just great platformers. And yes, they have aged quite well - at least the second and third game. Haven't played the first one in a while.

Oh look what's happening there!

[Zeroth]

is this going to coincide with SpikeTV's Xbox one reveal that geoff might be talking about?

I hope so, if only for the amazing reactions.

 

[SlipperyMoose]

Tell me Sony bought back the rights and we are seeing a sequel.

 

[Eppy Thatcher]

Lolwat???!!! No fucking way. Just no way in hell the universe is this good and benevolent ...

What would it even look like? ... the Crash jungles on PS4?

Do it sony. I'll buy one copy for me and one for my daughter.

 

[Acquiescence]

OH FUCK!

It's really happening. Crash is coming home.

 

[Iacobellis]

Does it really matter if it goes back to Sony? ND has pretty much moved on from the series and the only developers Sony will probably hand it to is Sanzaru.

Sanzaru aren't even that bad.

 

[yankeehater]

I cant believe it is really happening. This is such great news! I hope Sony announces who is working on it soon. I wonder if we will get HD remakes of the old games now.

Sony buys Crash IP.
Microsoft buys Sony.
Brilliant!

 

[Salex_]

People really thought that this didn't mean anything? Just look at the wink!! He's telling us that he's coming back and it was in the ps4 launch trailer.

 

[dragonflys545]

WOAH!!!!!!!!!!

It doesn't matter.

I just think it would be cool if Naughty Dog could feel more free about talking about, and leveraging, their most iconic IP.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

 

[Plinko]

Yes yes yes.

 

[electroshockwave]

What would a modern Crash game even play like?

 

[phosphor112]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

[KOMANI]

Notice what's on the sign to the right...

"Crash Bandicoot returns to Sony."

Oh my god. I didn't notice it "Crash -is going to- Sony". Truth be told, I loved Crash, and I never liked Jax And Daxter.

 

[Snaku]

Crash PS4 is going to be the blockbuster announcement of the night at VGX. Calling it.

And that's bad?

 

[Killing_Joke]

If they get naughty dog team B on this my nuts would literally explode.

They probably won't but that would be amazing.

 

[VanWinkle]

Umm...exactly. Sanzaru did a great job with Sly and I would LOVE to see them take on a more platform-centric game like Crash.

 

[birdman]

Incoming Jak 4 announcement not long after?

 

[SpookyFries]

Spoiler

Please don't ruin it oh god please

 

[Windam]

OH GOD YES! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DON'T LET THIS TURN OUT TO BE NOTHING.

 

[Hyunickel]

This would be amazinggg! DD

[Tnetennba]

If this is real and it sucks I'm going to cry.

 

[funkystudent]

More proof that Crash was the character doing the VO in the Uncharted Teaser if you ask me.

 

[Jeff Vader]

I want to believe!

 

[RK9039]

If this is real, I'm buying a PS4.

This is it isn't it? All Nintendo developers....make your peace it will be over soon

[Huw_Dawson]

Please be true!

 

[level44]

Or Bend?

 

[Kane Zakharov]

This would be amazing if true.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Sanzaru maybe

Sony Bend

Sanzaru!

Didn't Bluepoint Games mentioned in one of their job offers that their working on bringing back a Playstation classic?

Also, Sanzaru games could make it too. They've done a good job with Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time.

I was thinking Sanzaru, Bend, or Blue Point as well. All seem possible.

I would like to see Sony going back to those action platformers of the PS1/PS2 era. They had a lot of bases covered for the PS3, but this was one area that was lacking.

 

[Acquiescence]

Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale must have really hit it home for Sony how much Crash is affiliated with the Playstation brand. That was the catalyst.

 

[falconzss]

Sony's long lost mascot is coming back? Fuck yeah!

 

[amnesiac]

It better not be open world


naughty dog please

 

[yankeehater]

I dont see anyway that MS would buy the Crash license.

Iwata pooped his pants after realizing the implications of the thread title

 

[MisterHero]

I met Crash Bandicoot at a mall once.

He gave me a cup and ball.

 

[Oersted]

Whatever happened to the Crash team...

 

[SykoTech]

Damn. First that thread about Crash hints in a Sony ad, and now this.

Please be real. And bring Spyro along too.

 

[Yawnier]

Is it finally happening

I don't know what to think or do, OMG OMG OMG
