What Naughty Dog does these days is so far from Crash and the people who work there are so different nowadays that there's not even a guarantee that a Crash game from them would be phenomenal. Granted, yes, the people who work at Naughty Dog are some of the best in the business, but the talent that they attract are people interested in making realistic, grounded, graphically intensive games. Who even says that those people want to be making a game starring a giant orange bandicoot?

EDIT: That being said, I would lose my mind if there was a new Crash game announced, I would lose my mind. I just don't know if I want Naughty Dog being the people to make it happen, particularly with how badly I want a second TLOU or another new IP from them.

I mean
He was practically pointing at it at one point
it's not even subtle

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Crash coming back as a playable character in Uncharted 4 MP?

His dance sure as hell should be a taunt.

 

[DangerMouse]

Just watched PS I love you xoxo panel. Shu and Gio didn't know why Shawn was wearing that Crash shirt.

Not like they'd say if they did lol.

To balance that out Tim left with "Save the Bandicoot" though lol.

I think the chance to make a videogame looking close to a Pixar movie would be pretty enticing.

 

[T-0800]

Not sure if it has been mentioned but I noticed the other day the avatar for Naughty Dog in PS4 Communities is Crash.

I think Crash 2 & 3 are genuinely great games. I replay them every year or so and am surprised at how well they hold up. Obviously they aren't perfect by any means, but they are actually good games.

Crash 2 is actually perfect. Playing that game at 60fps is one of the best and most fun pure platforming experiences you can have even today.

Crash 3 sucks though because of shitty vehicle levels, but the platforming levels are still superb.

This T-shirt bs was not even close to being funny and it only made them a huge disservice when the thing ended and nothing was shown. It made an alright conference turn into shit just because of that unfunny attempt at amusing trolling. Pathetic and juvenile from him/then.

 

[Chamber]

It's coming, I don't believe for a second he wore that shirt just to wear it. I also don't believe for a second it would be developed by Naughty Dog.

 

[Skii]

It's definitely happening. Sony wouldn't dare risk the backlash of teasing gamers like that. They can probably afford to but it's a slippery slope.

I assume there might be a remaster or a new game not developed by Naughty Dog.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

I think its happening, cant wait to see gameplay in PSX 2017, and finally play it in 2019.

 

[modernmalady]

He was using it to hide the

shirt underneath.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

It's coming right after MS's Battletoads revival.

 

[AstroNut325]

If this is real, I hope it's developed by Sony Bend.

I hope it's real.

Edit:

Wait... There are Battletoad rumors???

Phil Spencer wore a Battletoads shirt at a conference once.

 

[sense]

i don't understand why some you think it is not happening. it is well known he is a very popular request for a few years now. the guy isn't going to waltz out wearing that shirt just for kicks. it is happening, just not sure if it is just bringing back old games or a new game

 

[Demise]

YESSSSS !!! Finally another Crash teasing that will lead to nowhere. Fabulous.

If it's just re-releases of the PS1 games then it's not really happening.

Oh... Hope they make a new one. Loved the old ones.

 

[Sodding_Gamer]

Re releasing the originals with trophies would be enough for me.

Although I'd like a brand new game or a proper remake of 2. I'd take ps1 ports with trophies at this point.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Well, they're in Shovel Knight on XB1 and Rash is in Killer Instinct Season 3. I think the chance of a new Battletoads is much more likely than a new Crash.

 

[Jigorath]

That had to have been happening at one point. There were way too many leaks and rumors. Might have just been cancelled.

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

Lol Shawn Layden of course wore it, eh?

[Benclank01]

Well, the wish has been granted. The Crash Bandicoot franchise rights has definitely gone back to Sony Computer Entertainment.

Now, we can have peace...

 

[brickarts295]

I sense a Hashimoto trend here, will wait for E3 for results.

[videogamephilosopher]

Crash is coming back on the scene again.

(sidenote). What was interesting in regards to attire Sony was in full grunge mode. Are they trying to capture the "Tude" vibe.

LMAO

"Dare risk the backlash."

Give me a break.

 

[Apathy]

Feels like they are trying to add at least one troll moment every psx. We had the final fantasy 7 one last year, this year it's this.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

The only way this would have been better is if Hashimoto himself had that shirt if he was the one presenting the VII remake trailer.

 

[nillah]

Where the hell was Crash and why did they end on Paragon?

Why did Paragon end!

 

[XAMOEL_ART]

First.

Then

And still nothing happens.
Playstation, you better have a Crash bandicoot game at E32016.

 

[Benclank01]

What now?

I'll tell what we can do right now, we wait.

 

[TheOGB]

Alright High Impact/Sanzaru, let's see what ya'll got

 

[GOOCHY]

I'll tell what we can do right now, we wait.

Is there any evidence that the Crash license has gone back to Sony?

 

[Benclank01]

It's just speculation, my friend. Speculation.

 

[Rebel Leader]

Phil Spencer wore a Battletoads shirt at a conference once.

And battletoads had a cameo in another game

 

[XAMOEL_ART]

Sony and Microsoft have a lot of homework for the next E3.

 

[Steverulez]

Battletoads were in Rare Replay and Shovel Knight.

 

[BitterFigDanette]

Crash is back!

And someone is happy about it

Not really evidence, but Robomodo wanted to put Crash in Tony Hawk Pro Skater 5, and was told no by Activision. "Someone replied with "Of Course, freakin' Activision." Robomodo then said, "It's not their fault," referring to Activision. It seems a bit weird that Activision would not allow them to put Crash in when they own the license/IP with the current information we have now

Couldn't it just be Tony Hawk himself who doesn't want to mix with other IP?

[TheStruggler]

They added a TMNT to the game..

I couldn't really blame any company for not wanting their property associated with the disaster that is THPS5. It was well known that it was in tough shape well before release.
