It's stuff like this that makes me love gaf. So quick as well
This just makes me wish that Crash Landed DS game hadn't been cancelled. He needs a new adventure, and not one that involves shitty redesigns or mutant animals.
I'm guessing that that's a really early prototype, because that doesn't really look fun to play. I'd also rather have this game, of which at least the style and design would have been good: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64GpLhbKcG4
I'm guessing the DS game by Renegade Kid was a tie-in to Crash 2010. They share a similar art style, and the timeline fits. The game was canceled, Radical's Crash team was shuttered and eventually the entire studio was too after Prototype 2 didn't do well.
Yeah, that's supposedly just a pitch by Renegade Kid that got turned down
Rayman did well, I think they realise shooters aren't everything these days (or that they don't need to worry as much) and will hopefully still be bringing us a decent Crash again, as well as PSASBR dlc
To be honest, Rayman did well due to it being good and receiving good word of mouth. Crash would need some goof effort for it to be like Rayman.

Do the post-Naughty Dog games even use the same music, charecters, enemy types and style of the original trilogy?
Sony should have just bought the charecter out right from Universal.

It doesn't, but it was probably intended more as a "Here's Crash running around in our free-roaming 3D platformer engine with impressive draw distance for the DS hardware" tech demo than as a sample of actual game content.

Wrath Of Cortex (2001) was Vicarious Visions/Traveler's Tales, and was essentially Crash 4. Level design wasn't great, but it was good enough. The first two GBA titles (also VV) used the same music and style and made them 2D platformers. Also pretty good.
Twinsanity was where it really started to divulge. Was a semi-open world platformer with an irritating accapella soundtrack and horrible NES throwback "Everything you touch hurts you" gameplay.

Could they have done that? At the time Crash was one of the biggest IP's in gaming. Universal probably thought that they were going to make a lot of money off of it by putting the games on more platforms.

Joe Burton from TT Games revealed a while ago that Wrath of Cortex was originally a free-roaming game by Mark Cerny and published by Sony, but Universal dropped out and TT Games came in a had to redo everything from scratch into what we have now in 12 months.
Why could they not just have expanded on what Cerny did? I guess since it was multiplatform they couldn't legally do that? Naughty Dog is credited in Nitro Kart though...

You missed the best tunes, the ones that play when Crash is riding Cortex!

That teaser looks super fake but if not, could it maybe have something to do with this?

Rayman did well because it was an incredibly well done game easily deserving of the GotY title... I don't see the same happening for Crash.
Faith in humanity justified :')
Do you have a link to this? I googled and came up empty handhed.

To whoever is in charge of the Crash franchise:
please stop
Crash Bandicoot was FAR superior to jak & daxter

Not fake, but old iirc. I think it was around a year ago or so when that design first surfaced. It was in a photo of a developer's work area. Design isn't too bad, but reminds me a lot of the famitsu mascot.

They should just release the first three games in one disc. As for the new stuff, if it's not ND making it, I don't have much faith then.
Wow I really liked that art style and animation...too bad it was canceled
Yeah, according to that Crash Mania site:
"That Crash poster was from a cancelled Crash game from a really long time ago. I never saw that game in action (it was before my time), so I don't know any details about what it was about."
The character design? Can't disagree hard enough.
He was really the epitome of the annoying "hip" cartoon character, Poochie level of terribad.
It even had the stupid dance and the smug grin.

So sorry, here you go!

Interesting ... I'd like to know more about what separated Sony and Universal Interactive. Sounds like the plan was to have Crash Bandicoot continue to be PlayStation exclusive.

Hopefully one day Crash ends up back in Naughty Dogs hands

ND doesn't own the IP any longer, it'll be ultragarbage.
If not developed by Naughty Dog, no care.
That intro, that beach washup, that seemless intro to gameplay transition, those graphics, that music.
Ugh, why did you bump this thread?...

i dont normally like to point out that juniors are juniors, but i feel like whenever an old thread is bumped with no new news, its because a junior just got approved and wanted to comment.
that said, i just this evening finished crash 2 for the first time. i played the first one in like 1997, so it only took me 16 years to get to the sequel. i wonder how old ill be when i play 3.

I agree. Crash is just a straight up awful character. He was Dreamworks before Dreamworks existed.
As far as animal mascots go, he's worse than Bubsy even.

In my dreams, Sony acquires the rights to Crash Bandicoot and puts Crash Bandicoot 4 into production with a top tier team.
