Yeah, Sony would be better off hiring insomniac or giving it to sucker punch.I really don't want naughty dog wasting time on another crash game.

Eh, it gets the character out there so no one forgets about him by the time they eventually release a game.If Activision still owns the IP, isn't it worse for them to keep giving Sony permission to use Crash (in the highly suggestive road signs in one of the ads and now here) and fuel these rumours?

Agreed
I tried playing Crash 3 for the first time this past weekend. Nope. Nothing about it was good at all.
It's not like Naughty Dog knows how to make a game with a jump button anymore though....so HD collection?
No, I want something that pushes the PS4. :OSanzaru
They've already stated that Activision owns the IP.
A shocking revelation indeed.You clearly never played the Uncharted games.
So there's still love for Crash even though he's been turned out.

some of the quotes in this thread sound ignorant.
"going from Last of Us to Crash is tragic"
"Naughty Dog going back to Crash is a waste"
Do you know what Game Developers do? That's right, they develop games. Do you know it's boring for game Developers to keep producing the same genre of game, over and over again? You only grow as an artist by taking risks.
I'll go one further, if Hideo Kojima would have taken a break from Metal Gear Solid, and did more stuff (Policenauts, ZOE) I guarantee MGS4wouldn't have felt like burden.which i love
This is all hearsay, but Crash is Naughty Dog's creation. Despite the fact none of the creators are at Naughty Dog, Crash is still in the company's DNA. Don't go writing them off. It would be nice to have a solid platformer, that doesn't involve shooting people in the face.
Not sure I want another full AAA Crash game. I'd love one at like $20-30 that has a lower budget (with about as much content as the originals).
And guess what? Naughty Dog designers have said nothing about wanting to return to Crash or making another Crash game. All this hype has been from the die hard Crash fans which I never knew existed. Naughty Dog should be able to develop whatever they want, Crash or not.
"Oh, yay, another Crash game!"I really don't want naughty dog wasting time on another crash game.
ND ain't going back to that stuff againGive it to Naughty Dog, please! A Naughty Dog made Crash Bandicoot on NextGen wouldn't be an instant buy, but it would grab my attention and I would follow the game instead of just shrugging it off.

Let us dream Infiniteparagraphman.I hate to be the cynic here but I'm stunned people think that Naughty Dog or anybody that big would put in the effort on a big AAA platformer. Let's get real, 2013 had some absolutely fantastic platformers come out. With the possible exception of 3d Mario (it will have legs) not one of them saw commercial success. Rayman Legends, Puppeteer and Tearaway are all critical successes, fantastic games and commercial flops. If there were any plans for a AAA Crash/Jax/Banjo revival they've been put on ice super quickly. They just wont sell and make absolutely zero sense for a studio like Naughty Dog to make. Why make a game that might sell 1m at most when you could make Uncharted/TLOU/new IP that would sell 5m+? The audience just isn't there on consoles anymore - most of those gamers are on mobile platforms which is why platformers do well on the ipad and the 3ds. Even console Mario seems to have lost a little steam. The best fans of these series can hope for is a downloadable PSN/XBLA game.
Crash needs a total reboot. Theres an opportunity to reset the history, and go back to his creation story and the original conflict with Cortex. In that context, you could reprise classic Crash 1 and 2s settings and villains. It would make sense to use a more modern, free-roaming style. I would concentrate on Looney Tunes-esque animation and really addictive action. Thats what we did with the original Crash, and theres no reason it couldnt be done today. Given [Activision's] Crash games, people forget that he was once cool. [Naughty Dog's] Crash had a certain whimsical edge to him. Sure, it was goofy but it wasnt dumb.
Activision owns Crash Bandicoot and we continue to explore ways in which we could bring the beloved series back to life.
Crash needs a hug.
Insomniac? Ewww.Yeah, Sony would be better off hiring insomniac or giving it to sucker punch.
