If anything this strengthens the idea of Crash being announced for PS4.

This is actually pretty good for Crash. Provide it enough exposure and maybe it can get another main entry.

Lol he didn't play Crash 'til he was an adult though.

I'm sorry but this thread is hilarious.
Perfect Monkey Paw after all those threads based on absolutely nothing.

Eh, I don't know, it didn't help Spyro...

 

[Onaco]

Did you play Uncharted 4?

LOL

And he sucks at it

 

[Feorax]

Gonna be a lot of crow to be eaten after E3, one way or another.

Sad to see so many posters here revelling in other people's disappointment though. I want Crash to be announced for that alone.

 

[J@hranimo]

Oh my god

There's this feeling welling up in my stomach....

Spoiler

it's laughter

 

[Tregard]

There is not a hope in hell that Sony as a company would be tone-deaf enough to think this would be something they could tease and not get chastised for.

I pray that's not possible, anyway.

 

[Ridley327]

Hey now, Spyro is still a character in the Skylanders series!

 

[pizzacat]

THIS WOULD BE BEAUTIFUL


BEAUTIFUL

I CAN ALMOST EAT THIS

This thread might be really hilarious in retrospect.

Turns out Dreams 2.0 are just Nightmares.

[Drayco21]

Oh man, I hope this gets announced on the Sony E3 stage. I would love to see the reaction to that in my theater.

 

[jacobeid]

Nintendo (especially) and Playstation buyers can still handle these types of games. Rachet & Clank is apparently doing very well too.

Ratchet and Crash aren't anything alike tho.

 

[KingdomHeartsFan]

Dead

 

[Vyrance]

They should announce this on stage first, then announce their Crash game. Would be just like when World of Final Fantasy was revealed right before FF7 Remake

 

[El-Pistolero]

Please make it happen!

 

[DrROBschiz]

If anything this strengthens the idea of Crash being announced for PS4.

Yup

They arent this tone deaf

Its cross marketing deals

 

[GIANKRATOS]

This thread might be really hilarious in retrospect.

Yep.

 

[Sodding_Gamer]

Damn this thread will be hilarious if a Crash game gets announced, with him being in Skylanders as a Bonus for him coming back.

Spoiler

I still live in hope

 

[Spieler Eins]

Get this and Knack 2 on monday.

This fits the earlier reveal that Crash will make an appearance at the Sony presser but it will be a small thing. So likely true. Third person action adventures are dead.

 

[FTF]

...no, not like this.

If anything this strengthens the idea of Crash being announced for PS4.

Hope returning.

 

[the_sun_king]

I can see this being 100% true. Oh, the meltdowns that'll happen...

Turns out Dreams 2.0 are just Nightmares.

Mine unfortunately already came true. :<

 

[Feorax]

When was this? Must have missed this in the mountain of E3 leaks this past week.

 

[Hexa]

That was by a twitter account that later claimed that Crash would make three appearances: in Skylanders, in PSABR2, and in his own game. Considering he/she is contradicting themselves in their own leaks, I wouldn't give them any weight.

 

[sora87]

Get this and Knack 2 on monday.

What cross marketing? Crash IP belongs to Activision, Skylanders belongs to Activision.

Kinda along the lines of what I'm thinking about this. Surely they saw and heard the backlash after the conker debacle and realized that just a silly game tie-in is nowhere near enough for the people who really want a new crash game.

As a side note, I dreamt of a crash trailer the other night and after that, I'd love to see the possibilities on the new consoles.

 

[J@hranimo]

Now with my previous post, I don't mean to laugh at Crash Bandicoot fans, but laugh at the fact that this could inevitably be the next time the IP is used.

Strangely hilarious and sad at the same time.

 

[spyroflame0487]

As a Spyro fan who for at least a decade had virtually no Spyro the Dragon merch, Skylanders put him on the map. Now I got a goddamn Spyro alarm clock.

Crash coming back has long been hinted at, and in fact we saw a poster for a cancelled game in VV's office.

 

[GusZamboni]

same fate as Conkers =(

 

[Drencrom]

Troll of the century if true, I wouldn't even be mad.

 

[WiiRevolution1]

Well I'm still 100% confident in a new game

Obviously Sony owns the rights

Spoiler

since Activision isn't credited in Uncharted 4. And they would have to be.

Its obvious Sony owns the rights. And maybe this was part of the deal/cross promotion, the only thing is they may have gotten the rights a bit too late to show any new game at e3, but after all this they'll certainly announce its in development.

 

[Defect]

Hope it's not the Titans design.

A canceled game is quite the opposite of a hint.

Oh it'll be worse. When they can turn Spyro into a damn purple pug with horns. Think Knuckles in Sonic Boom worse.

Edit: Sorry for the double post.

 

[Megatron]

That doesnt make a lot of sense though, Activision could have put Crash in Skylanders at any time. There doesnt need to be a bonus that lets them use him now.

 

[DannyDanger]

If so, Sony should have done the decent thing and say a new Crash game was not in development, instead of this 'we don't own the rights' crap.

Sony doesn't own the ip how can they make the call on if a crash games is in the works?

 

[Sodding_Gamer]

That doesnt make a lot of sense though, Activision could have put Crash in Skylanders at any time. There doesnt need to be a bonus that lets them use him now.

Sony and Activision have a close partnership now. And with a new Crash game, and Spyro not being able to push Skylanders much anymore, having him feature in the new game too, would be a great way to cross-promote him.

Of course, it isn't likely. But a new game isn't completely out of the question here.

 

[wrestleman]

Something to consider: Crash couldn't be in Tony Hawk because of "rights issues and timing". But he can be in Skylanders a year later with NO "rights issues"?

 

[Cid Highwind]

Monday is going to be a hell of a day, one way or another.

 

[ShiftaDeband]

I mean they're similar, but it is certainly missing the charm of the original series.
