I swear, if MS bought it to screw Sony.. Shame on them..
Anyhow, didn't cboat mumble about old IPs returning to Sony?

If only it were a Jak & Daxter in the spirit of the original. However I'd be much more thrilled with a new Crash from Sony, but thrilled either way.

I hope it's a Vita game. :-D
Or.... the twist would be that Nintendo bought Crash and he'll be in Smash Bros.

My tweet wasn't addressed to anybody, but Adam decided to chime in with that anyway. Three dots indicate anxiousness?
Adam...indirectly...wanted me to ask Activision...as semi-confirmation? That's...
Well if it means anything to GAF, a buddy of mine told me that Cerny just had to make one phonecall to Uncle Bobby...
I told him it would have to be Adam Boyes or Shu Yoshida since that is not Cerny's dept.

31 pages of hype over basically nothing. If an actual announcement were to ever happen GAF would explode.

I think the gameplay will still work well. Just have new levels, with some new mechanics (I actually found the crash-in-a-ball levels in Wrath of Cortex pretty fun). Have the amount of platforming be somewhere between Crash 2 and Crash 3, and bring back time trials. They were only in the 3rd one which was a shame.

Nice! If they still have the license they would confirm it I would think
I was right to remain hyped!

I hope destiny bombs and Activision forces Bungie to make the next Crash Bandicoot with exclusive content only on Playstation
Activision doesn't have that kind of power over Bungie.

There's also this, and while there's something to it, it might be a bit far fetched.

We miss you, Crash.
We all forgive you, and have put the past behind us. Forget the Bandicoot you ended up as. Come home and become the Bandicoot you once were. That flame has not been extinguished, that candle has not burned out... it is immortal. It merely needs to be awakened. A revolution is upon us, and we need your guidance to face this struggle. Opposition lurks around every corner and the naysayers are numerous. But those of us who believe know the truth... without you we are doomed and the world as we know it is in great peril. Time is fleeting, Crash. Reignite the flame and.... come home.
Wake up, Crash.

I will wait for the confirmation before I get excited, but I will say that the original Crash Bandicoot trilogy was fun and distinguished. Besides that trilogy, Crash Team Racing was a good game. I considered it to be the PSX alternative to Mario Kart 64.
An open-world PS4 Crash Bandicoot video game sounds like a great idea.

I love some of the people in this thread who don't know anything and talk shit about how crash isn't relevant anymore. They said the same thing about Killer Instinct and now it's one of (if not THE) biggest launch title on xbox one.

To me, this is kind of irrelevant. They already have a rich platforming portfolio with Jak and Daxter, Sly Cooper, and Ratchet and Clank.

Those aren't really platformers though. Well I guess sly is but Crash was a much bigger name he was the Mario of the 90s.

There's a reason why Activision hasn't been able to do anything with the IP. I think the hardcore gaming community want more Crash games because they grew up with the character, but a lot of people simply don't care.

I did not read through this entire thread before posting, so I missed your update. Thank you for that.
Like I said earlier, I am optimistic about Crash Bandicoot because some of those games are fun. My hope is that since to my knowledge, Activision is doing much at all with that franchise Sony acquires it and makes new games. The more good games, the better of course.
Jak and Daxter are dead
ND's has moved on, onto bigger things.. Things like big budget AAAA cinematic story and gameplay experiencesCrash of Duty: Modern Twinsanity confirmed
I hope this is all some sort of elaborate ruse, and that Sony truly has re-obtained the rights to the franchise.
Hey look I was right. Activision selling an IP.... lololololol

There's a reason sure, it's because their games were crap, they never captured the magic Naughty Dog's Crash had.

Statements are juggling around more than MS PR.
Do you guys still own Crash Bandicoot? "No comment"
Do you still own Crash Bandicoot? "We are looking at ways to bring it back".
Well selling the IP to Sony and having them make a new game is one way to bring it back to life.

"We continue to explore ways in which we could bring the beloved series back to life."
By sitting on the IP and not doing a Goddamn thing with it. Fucking bullshit.

I want to see the return of PS1 style Spyro games as well.
Sadly, Spyro (or what's left of the poor guy) is leashed to Skylanders, and they just released a new game. Now he knows how it feels to be no more than a side character...
Seriously though, see if you can find Spyro in the cast list.
