I mean, I have a feeling that this isn't the only Crash-related news coming at E3, but it kinda sucks that the most disappointing one got leaked far in advance. Oh well. It'll just make the inevitable announcement of Sony buying the IP and making a new game with Naughty Dog in-tow all the sweeter, right?

... Right?

 

[ShinMaruku]

This better be true. I want the comedy.

 

[Rembrandt]

Not surprised and it'll sell more than a regular crash game. People in here will even end up buying it.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Don't be silly now, they know that this is not what people want.

You can't tell me to stop being silly.

Because that post was obviously a joke!

 

[Type40]

Surly adding Crash will save the Skylanders Franchise.

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

Sonic in Lego Dimensions, Crash in Skylanders, Mario doing his Amiibo thing.

It's like poetry.

 

[DudeWithNoName]

And I thought the treatment of Conker was bad.

 

[Byronic Hero]

I feel sorry for the fans if this is true. The salt will be in abundance if this happens, and I will laugh all the way through it.

$$$

Snort it

Go on.

 

[SOR5]

Guys...I'm joking!

Of course Sony execs are aware that there's a vocal fanbase of people who want a new game.

I just wish they could listen to every single one of us

Spoiler

 

[V-Faction]

Crash is back! In pogf--

Oh.

 

[Lupin the Third]

The isometric Spyro games on GBA were great. Just wasn't a fan of the side scrolling Crash one.

Honestly, as long as they don't bugger up his design, I'd welcome his return via Skylanders.

Which one was that?

 

[Ivan 3414]

Can't believe people get so upset about a new Crash game happening or not. Just don't waste ND's talents on a new one please.

"Waste ND's talents"? I'd argue they don't have the talent to make a Crash game.

 

[DangerMouse]

Activision...

Oh yeah.

 

[NESpowerhouse]

Can someone photoshop that entire scene with a Sony exec as Bart and Crash as Alf?

EDIT: oh wait, I think someone already did.

 

[BabyFaceKillah]

Y'all deserve it

 

[wrestleman]

Y'all deserve it

y tho

 

[Nuno Pinto]

This gif couldn't be more appropriate.

 

[Nesther]

I always wanted to try out a Skylanders.

 

[DangerMouse]

If this is true, at least one insider would have said something like "there will be a disappointment" or something else.

This.
Meanwhile they've all been doing the opposite regarding teasing about the Sony conference. Like Shinobi.

Knack 2 is coming, what have the insiders to be disappointed about? All is well.

 

[superNESjoe]

That would be an interesting argument.

 

[FleetingFlowAir]

HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA.

 

[Ragelink26]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha This is such an Activision troll if true. Good work everyone! The demand for Crash was so high that Activision took notice!

 

[jaypah]

So Crash is coming back on PlayStation and this is a tie-in part of the deal? Pretty cool. (Shh, let me believe).

 

[jacobeid]

So much salt.

I still don't understand why people let themselves get so hyped up for a series that doesn't seem to fit within the modern gaming landscape.

 

[brawly]

It's not that far fetched tbh.

 

[DangerMouse]

Yeah, this and the Star Wars gif are the perfect two.

 

[DorkyMohr]

This is a blight on the brilliant legacy of Crash Bandicoot!

Spoiler

 

[MrV4ltor]

Remember this?

 

[Ivan 3414]

That would be an interesting argument.

Well, most of the team behind those games are gone; they seem intent on making motion-captured, super-grounded games; the concept art they had for Jak and Daxter PS3 were bastardizations of the series by consensus...

Honestly I don't want current Naughty Dog to handle a game like this; they've shown no signs that they can.

 

[JimmyJones]

They're gonna to a Spyro to him.

 

[Creamium]

Wouldn't be surprised. If Crash is coming back, then this isn't the only thing. He will get his own game

 

[Feorax]

So much salt.

I still don't understand why people let themselves get so hyped up for a series that doesn't seem to fit within the modern gaming landscape.

Well people are still pining for a new half life game so...

 

[MrBadger]

If this ends up being true Sony would lose consumers indirectly, collateral damage as they call it, some people are so into the idea that Sony is making a new crash game that this is gonna destroy their love for PS altogether

The age of Sony is done

 

[jacobeid]

Well people are still pining for a new half life game so...

This is also true but at least an FPS could still work today.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Remember this?

I pray to the salt gods that this is real. Oh please oh please.

 

[NateDrake]

Crash would work rather well in a Skylanders game.

 

[Sangetsu-II]

PLEASE NO

Welp, at least we are getting Knack 2 and who knows if enough people buy that exclusive pack something might happen.

 

[checkeredknight]

Which one was that?

It was called Spyro Orange: https://youtu.be/C19-5f3PVfM

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

Remember this?

This isn't the design, that's from Vicarious Vision years ago and they outright denied it was for Skylanders.

 

[DangerMouse]

So much salt.

I still don't understand why people let themselves get so hyped up for a series that doesn't seem to fit within the modern gaming landscape.

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

 

[Defect]

I'm not worried.

 

[BabyFaceKillah]

y tho

go crazy with the hype and you just setting yourself up to be disappointed...

Anyway we'll find out next week whether this is real or if there really is a true to form crash game in the works.

actually I wouldn't be surprised if they are doing both.

 

[Big Green Anus]

As long as I got my Knack 2, I'm fine with whatever happens to Crash. My feeling is that Sony had licensed Crash from Activision and Sony is going to not put a big budget to a new Crash game since they won't own the IP.

 

[Alienous]

We should all just pretend we don't care about Crash anymore. At this point it's just Activision puppaterring the husk of a once great franchise for nostalgia profit.

Let Crash rest.

 

[Aurongel]

I want this to be true so fucking bad.

The reactions from GAF would be spectacular.

 

[ChaosZeroX]

WHy would Crash be a PS4 exclusive though if Sony doesn;t own the rights?

 

[Feorax]

WHy would Crash be a PS4 exclusive though if Sony doesn;t own the rights?

For the same reason Gears was exclusive to Xbox, even though MS didn't actually own the IP until a year or two ago if I'm not mistaken.

 

[TheChaos]

Different genres. Ratchet and Clank is not a 3D platformer. Crash is.

3D platformers outside of Mario are dead. There's a good reason Yooka-Laylee had to use Kickstarter to get it off the ground.
