There's just too much for everything to lead up to a Crash Bandicoot easter egg inside Uncharted 4. The launch trailer, Shawn Layden's shirt, the website suddenly going down and getting updated as recently as February 2016, hints from known insiders here on GAF.
E3 of Dreams, Part II. It's happening. I've booked tickets for the hype train, it's arriving early for me.

Really people. It's an Easter egg about their history, why would you think this means a crash is coming?

There's a certain scene with Tawna at the ending that inexplicably got deleted in the final product.

Has Naughty Dog ever teased a future release before?

They had an easter egg for The Last of Us inside Uncharted 3.

They put a tlou easter egg in uc3
I don't think this easter egg means that they would be working on crash though. It's likely to be another studio if anything
Last of Us in Uncharted 3.
Jak was probably in The Last of Us because it originally started out as a reboot before they decided to make the TLOU instead.

Do you mean you are actually Crash?Or it is just a level with Drake running from a boulder like in Crash Bandicoot?

naw its just various people in sony trolling
Sony has (access to) the IP then. Lessssgoooooo
They've never done explicit Crash easter eggs before, but tons of Jak & Daxter ones. Always figured it was a rights thing. This seems to indicate that something has changed.

Crash. You can even see the original PSX startup with the sound and everyting, and Nathan complaints that it takes long to load.

Oh boy.
I thought they always had rights to them early Crash games? Because it's still sold on PSN to this day with no Activision mention. Or I could just be speaking shit lol.

Or you know, it could just be Naughty Dog's way of showing their history. Though I guess that would be stupid, all aboard the hype train.

Oh shit that alone might get me to buy the game on launch. Sounds like they had some fun making this game

They're the selling PSN Classic games every single month in Europe.
There is money to be made with the name alone.

Crash is a classic Sony game. Sony will reference it for as long as PlayStation is a brand. It's a pillar of their history. And it has absolutely nothing to do with a new game being in development.

This is really odd, especially since ND never did a crash bandicoot Easter egg since they started making other games until now. I can't take all this teasing, I really wonder if Sony bought the crash IP.

Prior to now, Sony hasn't owned the IP so it would be infringement if Sony would reference it like so since, at the moment we know that Activision own the IP. This isn't a case of Sony finally acknowledging that Crash Bandicoot was big for Sony and they are finally giving it a nod, this would be complete copyright infringement if some deal wasn't in place to either license the rights to Crash Bandicoot or if Sony had purchased the IP outright.
It's only a matter of time before this hits N4G and tons of outlets run articles about it.
This is a HUGE deal.
They would absolutely need ownership and/or permission from Activision to do this.
They had no way of legally doing a direct reference. The best they could do were all the various "run towards the screen" chases.
Here you go.
A copy of Uncharted 4 in Uncharted 4? That's a little meta for me.

They could have gone with something like "Could this Uncharted 4 Easter egg mean something else?" but nope, they had to mention Crash and ruin it for whoever else is reading. Fuck I'd buy a copy right now but I got so much stuff from university to finish and I'm sure I'd get distracted if I bought the game.
I need a video. I really don't believe this.

Explains why there was a new render of Crash that was explicitly trying to look like an old render.
Edit: Turns out the render wasn't real.

They don't have the rights necessary to use this regardless, because it's use of the IP itself, they're not just distributing the game. They cannot distribute it as part of a new product without permission.
