They can add multiplayer mode as Racing (CTR) with the characters from the single player adventure.
If Sony get the Crash IP how about we just skip over a Crash Bandicoot game and go straight to the one everyone wants; a Crash Team Racing remake?!
Not so sure that's meaningless... If that's their official account, it would be problematic to use another companies IP as their profile picture wouldn't it?
I don't want to get my hopes up, but these are some good signs. Crash Bandicoot 4 please, with 1-3 HD remake.Sooo....
- Shawn Layden wears a Crash t-shirt
- Naughty Dog changes it's profile pic to Crash
- Devs were not allowed to include Crash into that awful Tony Hawk game
- Insiders are teasing a E3 reveal since quite some time
Yep, it's happening.
God, could you imagine if a team at Naughty Dog was beavering away on a Crash Bandicoot game right now. That's fan-fiction right there. It'd be 1996 all over again.
Constant referencing of a game that your fanbase want so badly is like playing with fire if they're not actually making it.
Sooo....

Thats not good, we need a reboot for crash adventure first and then a new CTR using those new character designs. For a $60 game, i think Crash need multiplayer mode so CTR as multiplayer is a great option.
Not in this case. The Crash avatar is available by default for every PS4 owner.
My dream:
Cerny + SCE Japan + ND + key members from the original trilogy working on a game for the 20th anniversary. The game is an updated version of the best levels of the first 3 games with modern graphics. Or just a remake of the first one with improved level design.
It would be the best way to re-introduce the saga and could be done in time for the anniversary.

If they released a Crash game next year that is BOTH a Crash Platformer AND CTR-2, I would probably LITERALLY cry tears of joy.
Aaaaaaaand...
The evidence just keeps mounting up. Sony isn't even being coy about it anymore.
Now we've got to wait half a bloody year until we get to see the game and find out who's developing it/who owns the IP rights. Well, in all likelihood anyway. There's always the chance it'll be revealed before or after E3 I suppose.
They better be ready with some gameplay instead of showing us cinematic trailer or teaser for next E3. We can expect game launching early 2017 mostly.
i'd be fully content if it was just a remake of teh original trilogy + ctr
I'd love an updated ctr with online play
I'm not so fond of the remaster idea. Remake from the ground up with familiar locations and characters, is the best way to restart the series, I think.
Yes, I meant more a remake than a remaster. But with a lot of the level design lifted from the original games.
HYPEEEEE!
I hope it really is a linear Crash 2 like game with tons of levels, super hard challenge levels, secrets and maybe just maybe multiplayer CTR. What?! YES!
There's a few hints that suggest that a Crash Bandicoot title is coming to PS4, with a possible mutual developement deal between Sony-ActivisionBlizzard. Mind you, this is all speculation:
- Charles Zembillas (Original character designer behind Crash Bandicoot) has been actively drawing alot of Crash related material as of recent years on his blog. That's interesting.
Charles also claims he heard buzzing of a Crash movie project inside Sony.- Someone from Naughty Dog teased they "wanted to input a Crash Bandicoot game into TLOU" (paraphrasing) when this person recalled "they couldn't". This is interesting, because it would act as a tease/easteregg, similiar to how ND teased TLOU in Uncharted 3 (newspaper headline about cordyceps in the beginning of UC3)
Anyone got a link to this so I can re-read it?- ActivisionBlizzard hasn't released a Crash Bandicoot game since 2010 (? - correct me if I'm wrong). That's slightly odd.
2008 on consoles, 2010 on iOS.- Gio Corsi (in charge of 3rd party relations) making "the list". I doubt he's unaware that Crash is one of the more wanted franchises by playstation gamers.
Definitely not unaware.- Verendus (insider with a solid trackrecord) while remaining coy, by hinting at a franchise "coming home" - possibly alluding to Crash Bandicoot.
Interesting...- Shawn Layden's t-shirt at PSX 2015.
This is the biggest tease, so far, to me.- Most recently, Bruceleeroy (insider with a solid trackrecord) teasing an upcoming reveal.
And this is what makes me confident.
Does any of this mean anything? I have no idea.
This was my hope with the emulation, was that PS1 was included and CTR would be given share play multiplayer, but that was a pipe dream, I guess.

God of War 4 and the new Crash should be at E3 next year. Everything is pointing to it.
emulation would just be a system wide thing and not really specific to crash
i think they would do something more special for crash, or at least I'd hope so
To kind of add to that: Shawn wore a God of War tee at PS Ex 2014. It's all but officially confirmed GoW is being worked on.
If they released a Crash game next year that is BOTH a Crash Platformer AND CTR-2, I would probably LITERALLY cry tears of joy.
I will literally cry tears of joy in any case (Crash, CTR, both in one game) XD
If it's made by activision i will cry tears of desperation
I agree. One more big thing to round out the rule of threes. What is it?

You know what would be cool to see at E3? That creepy Interactive Crash thing:
My replies in bold.
Regarding the "Crash Bandicoot game inside TLOU" claim. I took the initiative and traced the article, it was false. That was misinformation from my side. However, it wasn't TLOU, but instead they 'considered' it for Uncharted 4.

Still, it doesn't change the original implication.
Bruce Straley said:Yeah. Its not our title. Sony doesnt own it, so we dont have control.
@wrestleman- I even forgot that Charles mention those Crash movie tumors. I think even Joe Pearson mentioned them on FaceBook.
If anything, it better be like the Ratchet film or that upcoming Angry Birds film.
I think the crucial thing about the Tony Hawk comments was them saying it was partly due to timing.Sooo....
- Shawn Layden wears a Crash t-shirt
- Naughty Dog changes it's profile pic to Crash
- Devs were not allowed to include Crash into that awful Tony Hawk game
- Insiders are teasing a E3 reveal since quite some time
Yep, it's happening.
This being as recent as it is kind of makes me think they probably have not bought it.
I think the crucial thing about the Tony Hawk comments was them saying it was partly due to timing.
That can only be one thing, either timing as in they have no time to do it, or something is planned but they want to control when that begins, and Tony Hawk was too early.
Else, how is timing an issue?
Robomodo said:I think it's a combo of timing and rights, it wasn't much of a discussion.
That doesn't prevent Sony/ND from potentially handling some kind of creative supervision and control, while ActivisionBlizzard holds the IP and publishing right. Of course, its probably not cheap and could be a potential legal nightmare. However, it could a possible partnership.
So if Crash is back to PS in next year E3 can the Bandicoot alone overcome the greatness of this year E3 holy trinity, Crash > TLG + FF7R + Shenmue 3?

Sony wont make another Crash themselves without owning the IP and even won't agree to co-develop. Crash should return to Sony as their Mascot (so they can use him to advertise) in order to create a big impact and not just a game being co-devloped, because if the sales are successful then Activision might try to screw up again in future.

To me, it would overcome it.lol no
To me, it would overcome it.
Same. Dream come true for me.To me, it would overcome it.
