Are we now going to pretend people weren't disappointing in that E3, and that after the excitement some people weren't as excited as you imply?

Maybe for you and some people you got what you wanted. But you are projecting yourself over the general community. Which is odd because that's what I'M getting blamed for in this thread.

What the hell are you talking about. That e3 will go down as one of the best e3's of all time. Alright your trolling I'm done here

DId we get Shenmue 3? Did we get FF7R? No we didn't.

What we got was a stunt to make a poor E3 look better. Players kickstarted Shenmue 3, which is what the whole reveal was about, and we still haven't got much new info in terms of its progress, and we know that FF&R is in episodes which hints at my and others on the internet concerns that they worked with Sony on that teaser and were forced into this so would make the game in parts to capitalize on the hype before it ran out. TLG also got some hype there, which oddly you didn't mention.

Using the logic you are using here, the next Crash game will be an episodic game coming out in 2018.

If you honestly think that lots of people were disappointed in the E3 dubbed 'The Year of Dreams' then I don't know what to say.
But you are projecting yourself over the general community.

You have been doing this all day. The fucking hypocrisy.

I've replied to almost everyone but apparently you like a piece of software so much you are creating a fake reality to make yourself feel better. I'm not going to get into a pissing match with you. I'm sorry to disappoint.

Yep no one at all though that E3 was a disappointment, especially after the hype went down. Now I'm trolling for telling the truth?

Some guys in this thread I swear.

Are you pretending to understand that last E3 was hype as hell? Gaf exploded and tons of MEDIA sites as well from Kinda funny games, ign, Giantbomb, the now dead Gametrailers who all went ape shit.

The thousands of people in attendance screaming when they saw shenmue and FF7R. The thousands of reaction youtube vidoes, the millions of viewers watching the streams.

Seems like your saying they are all small instances, when they in fact are not.

You're the one creating the fake reality.

Literally everything you've said about Crash and E3 simply isn't true.

Some of the arguments in favour are reaches, big ones, but then again a lot of your defences are also grasping at straws. If Activision greenlighted what changes their mind months ago when ND said weren't allowed? How come they aren't featured in the credits? Not even a special thanks?

And its just clearly not the original coding. There is a brand new HUD, the model of Crash is altered and some animations are different - are we going to pretend altering the original game in any way wouldn't be crazy legal gray area?

Sony has the rights to do what they want with those games. They don't need to credit Konami or Activision. They not only have the rights, but they also have the exclusivity of those games, because as you know you aren't finding Crash 1-3 on XBox Live.

I have no idea what is confusing you this is simple. Crash 103 and CTR are via likely a deal, Sony's games to sell and distribute. They don't have to put Activision in those games, which are just emulated anyway. Same with Bomberman on PSN.

You are getting something like Bomberman PS classic confused with something like Bomberman Ultra.
Click to expand...

Nope, I always meant Bomberman Ultra. There are no PS1 Bombermans on PSN around there in the first place. I did not remember the exact title at first.

Here's something interesting. Klonoa was clearly co-published in EU by SCE & Namco on PS1, but PSN text mentions Namco Bandai. Strange, isn't it. It isn't Namco, It isn't Bandai Namco, it's Namco Bandai. Fits with the timeframe of game getting on PSN. This seems to be the thing with publishers (and thus usually IP owners) universally, it varies with studios though it seems name at the time of development is preferred.

Anyway that's a rather side thing. What I'm asserting is that
including a level of existing game
is not a thing that publisher that isn't an IP owner can do without further deals or ramifications. Period. Maybe you know of some precedent that says otherwise?

You see... Bubsy's jealous that the other games like Shenmue and Crash are getting revivals instead of him so he's trying his damndest to sabotage it for everyone.

Are we going to pretend that Sony's last E3 wasn't tremendously amazing?
I mean, you can believe that if you want, but you'll so wildly out of touch with the general gaming community there's not much discussion to be had.
People were tremendously excited about last year. That Sony's last E3 was seen as disappointing by the majority even after the hype dyed down isn't even revisionist history. It's just complete and utter nonsense that could only be thought of by a complete and utter moron completely disregarding even the slightest resemblance of truth.
Click to expand...

I didn't say the majority but a lot of people in this thread have been changing words which is why I don't respond to half of them.

I said there were some who were disappointing, and it was very clear once a few days after that E3 was over. I remember even seeing some posts here.

But reading this thread it's like that group of people don't exist.

As a whole they are in the minority compared to the rest of positive reactions from fans, media sites, and youtube personalities.

Anyway, I'll say this and we'll agree to disagree, don't make yourselves so excited and aggressive (as seen previously) over Crash news, 3 years of hints (actually isn't it 4?) that all have led to nowhere.

Crash is coming back but he's not coming back the way you guys think. Just hope he won't come back like Spyro. That would be bad :(

Maybe Activision will get the Spider-Man devs to make it.

I could see Crash coming back a action world building game with toys, similar to Spyro.

Activision would do that and compete with themselves because why the fuck not.

I would only be interested in a new Crash if ND were doing it themselves, and with being fresh off of UC4, that seems unlikely.

Except for this clear game that was on the PSN that was a PS1 classic bomberman game

https://store.playstation.com/#!/en...psp)/cid=UP9000-NPUJ01189_00-0000000000000001

Also Bomberman Ultra doesn't help your case since it came out while Hudson was alive and is pretty much the same download as then.
Click to expand...

Honestly as I mentioned I don't really care about the PS1 setup anymore, the important part is that someone other than Sony is credited for Crash. Where do you have someone other than Sony credited for Crash when it comes to UC4?

Bombermans for PS1 are not available around there. This is the wording I used earlier, this is the wording I use now.

For some reason I think this would be a more definite confirmation if it was an Activision statement. Sony, especially Boyes with his E3 shenanigans, have more reason to tell a little white lie to keep a surprise under wraps.

We'll see at E3 though. If they don't announce it there, it's dead.

Why would Activision want to compete with themselves? The toy to life thing already requires a lot of shelf space and caters to only one audience, so its not like traditional video games where you can make different video games to appeal to different groups.

I don't know man, I tired of this thread. All I know is there can only be two possible outcomes:

1) There will a new Crash game

Or

2) There will not be a new Crash game

So why would outcome 1 mean a toy to life game, despite that not making sense to Activision as a company? There are multiple possibilities to what a Crash game would be, it doesn't have to be a toy based game.

I think a Crash game would most likely be a rerelease of some sort, but who knows?

it's weird how people think sony are unable to work with activision.

even though they've been a huge partner for both destiny and the last call of duty, and sony have done tons of third party deals this generation

i mean obviously naughty dog aren't developing a new crash, but there's nothing that requires sony re-buying the ip for them to partner with activision to have sanzaru make a classic style ps4 crash bandicoot game for fans to enjoy.
