The difference in reaction between this thread regarding Crash in Skylanders and the thread for the new Lego Dimensions stuff regarding the dozen or so IPs they're getting for that game is kind of amazing.
Do people just hate Skylanders that much? They're pretty well-made games and the new one is adding a Diablo style loot system alongside their character creation stuff to give it a lot more depth. Guest star figures should just make people more into it instead of making them throw a fit, but that's not what's going on here at all.
Perfect. This is your monkey paw wish coming to realization.
(maybe this is what they use to gauge interest)
From an outsiders perspective, I think their dislike is that Activision is taking IPs once loved (spyro and crash) and doing something they don't like with it in the same medium they were created for.
Meltdowns would be hilariousLmao this would destroy gaf
They've always had platforming elements in them, too, so it's not like they're worlds removed from what Spyro and Crash were doing on the PS1.
If it's PS4 exclusive, then it's obviously a tie-in to a greater Crash project that's also PS4 exclusive. Get hype
They're not tone deaf enough to have crash show up in just skylanders.
More than likely it's part of a deal with Activision. Sony gets a crash game, Activision gets to make some cash off him in Skylanders. The real question is whether it's Activision licensing crash to Sony, or Sony buying the IP and letting Activision use him in partnership with them.
But not in Pog formHE'S BACK!
Another thing to point out. The next Skylanders Game has Kart Racing Multiplayer.
If saying "We don't own the rights" wasn't enough for you, then I doubt much else would be.
Seriously
What Microsoft did to conker was a million times worse
You know, Spyro, we really are SKYLANDERS.

this image is funnier after the truth in UC4 lol
Why would anyone want it to be true ? Are you sociopaths or something that you get a kick out of seeing people upset ?
It wouldn't be surprising.
And since Sony no longer has a deal with Disney Infinity, Skylanders always sold the least on PlayStation platforms they're probably doing it like with Infinity to grab some sales.
The Skylanders games are technically better than Infinity and Lego and more polished. Is a shame that many put them aside just because of Activision. Whatever happens with Crash on this is a decision that Sony was involved too.
