New Crash Bandicoot game coming to all platforms?

Lock if old, found it on another forum and didn't see a thread here

An interesting screen capture surfaced just recently, showing a countdown for which teases a new Crash Bandicoot game. The countdown which could be briefly viewed at crashbandicoot.com/countdown was then pulled pretty quickly. The page may have gone up earlier than intended as it appears that it also lacked an actual countdown at that point.

Although the text in the center is impossible to make out, you can easily see “He’s Back!” across the bottom of the screen. Given that Activision haven’t exactly managed to do the ex-Playstation mascot justice since they acquired him, hopefully this could allude to a return to the roots of Crash Bandicoot. Also encouraging is that it appears Vicarious Visions is in charge, from their logo near the bottom.

Another thing which is pretty evident is the presence of the Xbox 360 and Wii-U logos at the bottom, but even more so, the Playstation logo, which doesn’t specify a system, meaning that Playstation 3, Playstation 4 and PS Vita could all be possible platforms.

I have zero faith in Activision for this, if it really happens I doubt it will be a quality game.

Fake for a variety of reasons.

It's Sunday so I doubt many people are working to take a site down today. A teaser page is not something that should be taken down anyways. Google Cache has no record of this page existing either. But most damning is the fact that the developer attached, Vicarious Visions, is currently working on Skylanders Swapforce ...
 
I saw this but was reluctant to post here. This is the explanation provided by the photo snapper who posted this a day ago:

"So I found this on the official crash bandicoot site, more specifically crashbandicoot.com/countdown if you go to the site crashbandicoot.com it should re-direct you. The spot where I would assume the countdown clock would be is unavailable and has one of those question marks. I took a picture on my phone to send to a friend quick and then i hit refresh and was unable to get the site back to take a screen cap so i have to apologize for the crappy photo quality. PLEASE upload a better one if you can, the site looks great! but hey! Crash is back! What do you guys think!"
 
Would be interesting to see Crash on a Nintendo console. Remember the old Sony commercials using crash to diss Nintendo? I still wish we woud have had him in PSAS.

There has been Crash Bandicoot games on Nintendo platforms for more than a decade now.

This game will be a little bit like watching your own daughter do porn.

it is a reference to what Evan Wells said before

Crash has already been on a Nintendo console, multiple times on the GC, GBA, Wii, etc.

Why did Sony never make an offer to get it all these years......Did they really not care about it or is there some bad blood?

If this is true, and I'm not sure that it is, but IF IT IS...

Crash Bandicoot 2 was my first game ever. This was would make my life.
 
PLEASE BE REAL OH MY GOD I HAVE BEEN WAITING SINCE 2009 AND THE PAST THREE CRASH GAMES SUCKED. YOU KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. CRASH BOOM BANG, CRASH OF TITANS AND CRASH MIND OVER MUTANT.
 
I REALLY hope it's true, but I doubt it. :'(

You know who should've bough Crash? Warner Bros, they own TT Games and having Crash (and Spyro) in the hands of the company that's home to the Looney Tunes, makes oodles of sense.

I always thought Crash was stupid but how hard is it to draw him like a Looney Toons character instead of the Poochie shit even kids think its stupid?

Oh god guys, my inner crash fan boy is raging to tell you guys about how awful crash boom bang is and how hyped I was for the awful game. I was 12 when it was released and a HUUGE crash fanboy. I have stories to tell.

crash boom bang is a shameless mario party rip off
