Thread title got me for a sec

 

[Sponge]

Lol @ people saying this is obvious proof of a tie in.

A tie in to a new game? Yeah, totally. Makes no sense for Sony to tease Crash for a few years to have lead up to Skylanders. There's definitely more coming than just this.

 

[KelpPlankton]

If Crash is coming to Skylanders as a 'special guest' in the same way Bowser and DK did last year, that seems to imply he's not going to be tied up in Skylanders exclusively like Spyro was.

And you don't bring a character that old from an IP that dead out of retirement for a kids' game like this without it being a cross-promotion for something else.

Okay, if you say so. The teases, imo, were for the UC4 thing. This is building off that. This will sell way more than a spyro game and be safer for both sides.

Grasping at any straw they can.

 

[hemo memo]

Crash is going to crash E3 guys.. Don't worry and

believe

 

[Fj0823]

The amount of people wanting Crash to fail...smh.

I hope we get a Crow Eating thread if Crash does comeback...as A GAME.

 

[Hispanic! At the Disco]

Yawn, call me when they make Crash Pogs.

Crash in Skylanders will definitely sell a lot, Skylanders is a huge franchise. It's definitely a safe and obvious thing for them to do, especially since it's Crash's 20th anniversary. I just have my doubts thinking this is all that's coming. Personally I think the teases are building up to some sort of licensing agreement between Sony and Activision. I could be wrong though!

 

[aGuyInaBearSuit]

I don't get why some people are being so shitty towards people who want Crash to come back.

"I HOPE YOU DON'T GET WHAT YOU WANT SO I CAN LAUGH AT YOU!"

 

[K.N.W.]

Wait, wait... What does the PS4 exclusive thing mean??? It should be also on PS3 at least!!

 

[Pancakes R Us]

Haters gonna hate.

 

[KelpPlankton]

The bundle itself, including the Crash figure, would be PS4 exclusive. The figure would probably still work on the PS3, and in theory, other platforms too. But we have to wait and see.

If it's like Disney Infinity, Crash will only be available in the bundle for the first 3 or 4 months and then he'll get an individual release at retail.

Is Skylanders not a game now?

They hate games that are actually fun

 

[orthodoxy1095]

Please let this happen.

Please. The beautiful salt.

 

[Mr-Joker]

As much I want a new Crash game, I would laugh so hard if this was the only new Crash game announced.

 

[clay_ghost]

Can't belive that Qisahn will make overseas news. Store is real but not sure if the rumour is.

[Freeman]

Counterinformation to make us feel even more excited when it is announced.

Damn, if they do it, it will be extremely naive and misguided. Please don't.

 

[Arkam]

Not like this

Let's hope this is just PART of his return. Considering how much Sony wants this I would be VERY surprised. But hey we don't always get what we want.

 

[daripad]

OMG

I'll be salty because I want a high budget platform game on my PS4 but at the same time I'll be laughing my ass off at this news if true

 

[gafneo]

It won't be pretty seeing how they mutilated Spyro. I will never forgive them for what they did to that poor innocent creature.

 

[spacemonkeynation]

Well it'll probably play better than any other Crash game. Fans should be happy about this.

 

[plufim]

Oh

 

[chrisPjelly]

Isn't Knack enough to satisfy your thirsty asses?!

Browser and DK looker great on skylanders but that may be due to Nintendo QC

 

[Ridley327]

If only that extended to the paint jobs on their figures. Goddamn, are they some cheapo bullshit that Activision cranked out or what.

 

[fernoca]

Outsude a few renders and an E3 statue, in-game he looks fine and well animated.

Plus I liked the multiple versions he got. Spyro, Megahorn, Dark, Elite and (the baby) Spry.

Plus, while Spyro gets a ton of focus; Cynder also from Spyro games is a Skylander and she also looks and plays great.

 

[Dragoshi1]

DK and Bowser have been cool, but I feel the graphics on Wii U Superchargers were very muddied, or blurry, to me.

I noticed the same on Swap Force PS3.

PS4 Trap Team I've been replaying because, DAYUM, it's a treat to look at. Crisp visuals, great texture work(found myself staring at an orange lizard-like character because the scales were FANTASTIC), and overall a nicer, cleaner experience.

If they do an NX version that can keep up with PS4/Xbone, then that'd be great. Especially if CRASH BANDICOOT is gonna guest star.


Xbox should get Banjo.

 

[Tagg9]

Ugh, I'd rather Activision just left Crash alone instead of giving him a grotesque redesign and awkwardly stuffing him in their shitty toys-to-life franchise.

 

[The Last Lombax]

Well...we haven't seen Crash in Skylanders yet

If the rumor is true, I hope he will look like this

Outside Giants which was 1080p on Wii U, the rest of the Skylanders games has been under 720p on Wii U/PS3 which is why Superchargers looked blurry to you compared to Trap Team on PS4.

Now, Superchargers on PS4, like Swap Force and Trap Team is 1080p, and looks amazing.

 

[FyreWulff]

Why would he be ps4 exclusive? The last crash game was multiplatform.

Nintendo has exclusive Skylanders, Sony wants that scloov to get people buying the Sony version of that game

 

[KatamariOnTheRocks]

This sounds like exactly the way that they would decide to bring back an old IP :/

Making a new game that's actually good would be profitable so that's the last thing they want to do.

 

[NotLiquid]

I could believe it.

I could believe Activision noticing the cries for Crash and milking that for all it's worth.

 

[RecRoulette]

Oh man, please be true.

 

[toddhunter]

Sad to see such a cheap and tacky franchise potentially infecting skylanders.

Hopefully Activision change their mind and don't go ahead with this.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

I bet there will be a new crash game this E3 and people instead of being happy about it will make walls of shame from this thread.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

I don't see Crash as any tackier than Spyro.

 

[darkinstinct]

If Crash is coming to Skylanders as a 'special guest' in the same way Bowser and DK did last year, that seems to imply he's not going to be tied up in Skylanders exclusively like Spyro was.

And you don't bring a character that old from an IP that dead out of retirement for a kids' game like this without it being a cross-promotion for something else.

Did you take a look at the Lego Dimension announcement. Weirder things have happened. Companies do weird stuff all the time, like that young Conker thing.

Bingo.

If Crash is presented as a "guest" then it's this. Otherwise..

ALSO, Take this as you may, but I contacted the retailer (no one thought to do this?)

Hi "Steve",

Sorry for the confusion. It was listed by mistake. We have taken down the product to avoid any more confusion in the future.

Again, we apologise for the inconvenience caused for this confusion.

Sincerely,
Yin Jieh

and yes, it has been removed.

 

[ZarKryn7]

I still think PS Fuite and this retail listings are just as bullshit as humble man is.

 

[Mat-triX]

If the rumor is true, I hope he will look like this

That picture is the accurate reaction to this rumor
