I think the images/vidoes have been deleted, but there are two.
The first isn't really an easter egg as you can't miss it. Basically, Nate plays a remade version of the first level of the first Crash game.
The second can be missed (I think) and is that the first Crash PS1 game box can be found at the end of the game.

Especially when it's Sony doing all the teasing, and not Activision.

Good. Lord.
The fact that the credit doesn't list Activison as the copyright holder for the Crash Bandicoot IP is really interesting as this strongly suggest that Sony has brought the IP back...or they just forgot put Activsion in the credits.
Though if Sony did buy the IP back, I wonder how much they paid for it.

How often do acquiring of game franchises happen? I can't think of many.
Microsoft just did it a few years ago with Gears and Minecraft.

Ah damn, can't believe I forgot about those.
Spoilers bro. A lot of people on GAF would burn this place down if they found out before they played it themselves. Wait till the floodgates open on Tuesday. It's going to be mad.
Because unfortunately this news is tangled up in Uncharted spoilers, I'd say give it a week.

Don't remember if there ever was a direc trade between companies, but there's always been some notable shift of properties due to bankrupts or assimiliations
Some things are bigger than spoilers.
Nah, the shitstorm wouldn't be worth it. People would be complaining about being spoiled rather than talking about Crash. I feel your pain, I really do, but it'd be better just to wait a few more days.
Exactly. Besides, we have this thread to freak out in for now.

Rights transactions between still-living companies tend to be very expensive and very rare, companies prefer to keep rights ownership and do licensing deals, its better for their pocket in the long run. You'd need some major capital investments to usually pull a property from another company, unless there's other deals going on or you're really offering up some heavy perks for what the owner considers an otherwise dead property.
For the former reason, such things tend to be hard to hide. And for publicly traded companies, I am not sure if you are allowed to keep quiet about major property trades and/or cash flows.
Yep, this absolutely is the right attitude. I check Gaming side every now and then and pray no one's made a thread about this. Tuesday will be amazing to see when everyone gets to the Crash part.
Oh man, I can't wait. This truly feels like the calm before the storm
Yeah, one big to me is also that Drake says ''Crash Bandicoot'', and the logo of the game appears on scressn, he could never say that without some kind of agreement or copyright mention in the credits
I'm staying the Uncharted 4 OT all day to see the reactions. There's probably going to be a thread or two about I imagine. If there is then I'll see you guys there.

I think the thing that gets me the most excited for Sony having some sort of Crash game cooking beyond anything else:
This isn't an Easter egg. You cannot miss this. It's required play to progress the game.
Everyone who plays UC4 will play Crash Bandicoot.

Clever marketing.
It's genius. It makes me think this is their coy way of announcing they have the rights and then a full reveal at E3.
Did you find the second reference easily enough? The game case?

Not done the game yet. When I finish, I'll also check to see if the credits are different.
Alright no problem.
There's a pretty major spoiler in the credits you posted, so I doubt there'll be new ones.

And that's the thing. Almost none of the Crash references over the last couple years have been subtle. They've almost all been pretty in-your-face.

I've actually already seen at least 10 people say that they are now purchasing the game when they weren't before. You'd be surprised.

Keep up brehs, even in this very thread:
I showed my friend, and it finally pushed him over the edge to play the collection to finally buy UC4.
hype is real
Few people. Most of us Crash fans are gonna buy UC4 regardless whether that egg would be there or not.
12th that notion.
I wasn't going to get UC4 at launch, but this tempts me to get a sooner rather than later. I won't be picking it up day 1 though.

To each their own. As amazing as this is, and as hyped as I am for what it could mean, I would think Youtube would suffice. If you weren't going to get it anyway, that is.
