I feel this image in a teaser implies Sony is getting Crash back

I know you're right but... I want to believe!
 
Only interested if Naught Dogs develops the game. I want a CTR2 please. A real one.
I do wonder if there is someone left from the time they did 1-3
 
Crash by ND would be really exciting; it's time for them to take a short rest from the "cinematic experience" game.
 
I liked Crash, but I find myself repeating in my head "Please don't let there be another Crash."

Seriously we need new shit like Jak and Daxter was for PS2.
 
i think it's basically impossible for naughty dog to return to it though. they're a very different studio now, remember how they thought about ways to make jak a bit darker before the last of us. there's nothing they can do to crash to make it fit with the kind of stuff they do.
I feel you on that. I'm actually not too sure if I'd want a Crash game from current Naughty Dog and it's for this very reason. I still like ND but people gotta understand that things have changed.

Does being fun make it bad? I don't think so mannnnnnn. GAMES ARE MEANT TO BE FUN.


Was janky, but I loved that game.
Yeah, I'd be lying if said I didn't love it. It's still got a special place in my nostalgia
it's just not as special as the 4 games before it
 
I always thought it was weird how Sony sold off their mascot characters like that.

And look how huge Spyro has become (... sort of.)
 
On the podcast in question they basically said it was going to be an Uncharted title in space. Brian says:

Brian: "Is this area that we've charted before in our discussion?"

Emily: *cue Emily (who also knows what the game is) laughs hysterically*

...
...

Brian: "Some people are talking about space.... I'm gonna say that. Space, you guys."

They also mentioned Bandipoop.

I want to believe.

Spyro hasn't become huge at all. Skylanders has.
 
I would love this so much. I'm still pissed at myself that I sold all my Crash games and like all my PS1 games in 2004 for Spider-Man 2 on Gamecube. Dumb, dumb, dumb decision on my part.

Of course! Nearly all key members from back then are still at Naughty Dog: Evan Wells, Charlotte Francis Morgan, Justin Monast, Erick Pangilinan, Malcolm Hee, Taylor Kurosaki, Bruce Straley, just to name a few. They all have worked on Crash Bandicoot back then.
The only missing key members from back then are the two founders Andy Gavin and Jason Rubin. I'll never understand why they've left the industry...
 
Don't people think the golden square represents a crate rather than the old PSX logo? Crash had to jump up to punch them right?

They wanted a mature audience. Look at Nintendos Mario IP....they're way too reliant on it and those Mario games define the system.
 
"He tells me that on this journey, you either hang on to your morals and die...
...Or spin open crates to grab fruit."

US

Now maybe Sony/Vendi Universal can actually put this brand into other mediums (Comics, Animation) instead of letting it die.
 
Crash in space by Naughty Dog? :o

Anyway, however things go, tonight will be interesting! I hope for a new Crash game and also a Naughty Dog space game, but if all the teases are for a single game I wouldn't mind that!

That was my first thought as well. Honestly, I think Naughty Dog wasted on something like Crash Bandicoot, and I don't feel as if any of the other first-party studios have the chops to do a great platformer. I'd prefer he stay with Activision along with a Crash-related Skylanders announcement.
 
ND should make another jak

not the emo jak from jak 2 and 3 but the proper jak from 1.

They were making a new Jak on PS3, and it sounded like they had topped Jak 2 in terms of being the absolute worst game in the franchise. Frankly, I don't want that IP to be revived.

Sony never owned Spyro, or Crash. They were effectively in the same situation something like Gears of War is in.

A reason to get a PlayStation console again after two systems I used as movie players?

You used a PS2 just to play movies? In the words of a man you probably know, what's wrong with you?

But I don't see how this is some weird coincidence people are seeing too much into.

It's literally a silhouette of crash followed by an arrow pointing to what looks like the oldschool Sony Computer Entertainment logo.

They still use that logo on every game they publish physically.
