>At the end of the credits there's no mention of Activision even though Crash Bandicoot is referenced in the game with an Easter Egg, which is strong evidence to suggest that Sony have purchased the IP back from the publisher. Why is it strong evidence do you ask? Because The Art of Naughty Dog Book that released back in 2014 listed a trademark for Activision, and if it still owned the IP then surely Sony / Naughty Dog would have to list them again in the credits at the end of Uncharted 4: A Thief's End due to the references it makes to Crash Bandicoot.

Welp, seems like Sony is winning E3 for the fifth year in a row......
> buying back Crash IP
> Not Spyro IP
Sony fucked up.
Why crash? It was an okay game, don't get me wrong, but it doesn't have a place among current games. It was an okay 3d-platform for its time, if they released anything similar to that now it would be mediocre at best. That leaves in the situation of trying to do something new with an old IP, which automatically fucks them because nostalgic people want the same old shit and other people want something fun.
>>336607935
is right, Spyro would have been a much better choice.
>>336607935
Spyro is tied to the skylanders cash cow, impossible to get it back.
>>336607702
In your dreams nerd
>>336607702
Does it matter? Whatever game they'd come up with is gonna suck anyway.
>>336608267
It needs to be an "open world" platformer like Crash Twinsanity and how the Ratchet and Clank games are. Twinsanity would have been amazing if it were finished.
>>336608267
If 2D platformers still sell, then why wouldn't crash?
I really hope its crash team racing 2 with online and not a fucking 40 dollar 3d platformer.

Do any of the Crash 1 - 3 developers still work at Naughty Dog?
>>336607702
Not even an easter egg. It's a blatant unmissable part of the story.
>>336607702
Super smash Bros 4 has a trophy of Rayman in the game
But no Ubisoft in the credits!
Surely Nintendo owns Rayman now
>>336608397
Skylanders is standing on its own now, Spyro's not really the driving force anymore. I wouldn't get my hopes up or anything, but I wouldn't say it's impossible.
>>336615253
>Skylanders is standing on its own now,
Hello person from before Disney Infinity
IT'S HAPPENING BROS. GREATNESS AWAITS .
>>336610054
The only non indie company still making money from platformers is Nintendo. Even the future of Rayman is uncertain.
>>336607702
But you're imply Crash Bandicoot had good games.
You are almost as dumb as the people who want banjo 3 when most of the team isn't working at rare anymore
>>336615842
Rayman is gonna be fucked because of Vivendi. Microsoft doesn't know what to do with Rare's platformer IPs.
This bastard was from Universal Games and now has a hand in the making of the PS4. I wouldn't be surprised if Cerny was the reason Crash was bought.

What happened to Yooka-Laylee btw senpai?
Why are you guys excited for this? There's only two options here as far as modern reboots of old series go and they're both terrible:
1. edgy reboot that completely rapes the series
2. ironic retro reboot that constantly brings attention to how silly and 90's it is
I'd rather it stay dead for now until reboots stop being either of those retarded things.
>>336616753
Crash was designed to be edgy and ironic from the beginning
>>336616628
>kikestarter
why does anyone bother asking?
If this happens I will literally throw my ps4 and all it's games in the trash.
I thought Sony was past kiddy shit like this, this is something Ninturd would make like all their shitty kiddy Mario games.
>>336607702
Sony own all the licences for crash 1-3, as long as they haven't changed the game in any way they can reproduce it as much as they want.
You can buy all the original crash games on the psn store and there is no added Activision credit anywhere.
They only need to buy the licence from Activision if they're making a brand new crash game
>>336616753
>mfw modern Naughty Dog makes Crash even edgier than his modern tattooed design
>>336616628
They're making a big announcement about it when E3 comes around.
>>336616837
Not in the sense that is commonly attributed to those words today.
>>336617052
Howso? Crash was supposed to be edgier than Sonic and Mario and the entire advertising campaign was ironic as fuck.
>>336607702
BUT HEY, THAT'S JUST A THEORY.
fuck crash bandicoot.
we need need a Croc or Spyro reboot
>>336607702
>Welp, seems like Sony is winning E3 for the fifth year in a row......+ 0 post omitted.
>An inferior Mario clone
>Winning E3
>>336616628
Shitposters.
Crash has sold over 50 million games. Yet apparently its garbage and no one wants it.
E3 is gonna be fantastic this year if only for Sony's conference
Why would Naughty Dog ever go back to Crash? They've been shifting further and further away from that style of game for years and always followed industry trends. It's such a radical shift from their recent ventures like The Last of Us and Uncharted, which are the biggest titles they've ever made and have solidified them as "those guys that make really realistic and technologically impressive third person shooters that pretend they're Hollywood films."
It's been a one way path for them. If Sony actually does acquire the IP I bet they'll have Sanzaru make the new game or something with some Naughty Dog supervision.The only great Crash game was CTR anyway
>>336616906
>Sony own all the licences for crash 1-3, as long as they haven't changed the game in any way they can reproduce it as much as they want.
>Tales from my ass
They own publishing rights to Crash 1-CTR but cannot use the character without Activisions permission because it's their IP. This is why Activision has a credit in Naughty Dog's artbook, despite it all having art from Crash 1-CTR.
>>336615842
I'm satisfied with Rayman. Origins was great and the fact it got a sequel was a miracle. I wouldn't mind if we didn't get another.
>>336610371
>nintoddler being butthurt because crash was better than sm64
>>336617157
Yeah, I remember that time Crash ripped N. Cortex's head off in a gory display and shat down his neck.
Good times.
>>336616837
Crash was only really edgy in art and advertising. All of his ingame expressions are goofy as fuck.
>>336617504
>Annualised kiddy Chinese sweatshop knock off of Mario
>Better than one of the greatest platforming games of all time
>This is what Sony fanboys actually believe
>>336616310
the easter egg is relevant because if activision still owned crash, they would be in the credits, otherwise they would sue the shit out of ND/sony
the fact they aren't there implies that crash is not owned by them any more
if you don't understand why that is relevant, then you might have brain problems, because I literally spelled it out for you
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aO0X5b2jSk
>>336617468
Then why is there no credit for Activision in the psn versions of crash 1 - ctr?
Sony don't need Activision's permission to reproduce them
>>336617725
I don't even like Crash but it was ripping from DKC and Sonic
>>336617157
Crash is more cornball than edgy. He's not even on genesis-era Sonic's level of 90s edge.
>/v/ suddenly hates Crash
What the FUCK happened?
>>336617725
>Nintentoddler's not even getting a direct this year
As a Wii U/PS4 owner I don't even care. Too pumped for Crash and Yooka Laylee
>>336617725
Take off the nostalgia goggles, sm64 was clumsy as fuck.
I only played it in like 2006 so I don't have all the baggage from my childhood. Its aged terribly in every sense, the graphics, gameplay, everything.
Crash hasn't aged anywhere near as badly
>>336615253
but spyro is still tied to the main skylanders set wich is still being sold. if activision sold the rights they couldnt legally sell it anymore
>>336607702
Go ahead and be hyped. Crash was pretty fucking lame compared to Mario 64. Fucking klonoa would be more interesting than a crash reboot. Hell I bet when the dust settles, fucking Rayman still comes out over crash. Even bubsy would get me hyped. But crash? Ah hell no.
>>336617934
If you truly love Crash you don't want him to come back, not under modern day Sony/Naughty Dog.
>>336617803
Because Universal games is still credited on them, for some fucking reason.
>>336617658
I think the only really, 'edgy' thing about Crash was the codename for the games before they finalized it. They called it, "Sonic's Ass Game."
I really loved the commercials though
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLdQczq3NMM
>>336617742
anon
by your logic
>Torchlight 2 has Minecraft reference
>OH GAWD RUNIC MUST BE THINKIN ABOUT BUYING MINESHIT FROM MOJANG
And of course, you should remember Torchlight 2 was released before the jews at Microshit bought out Mojang and Mineshit.
Or hey, better yet, here's another example of your retarded logic:
>X game has easter egg reference of another character / theme / enemy / etc from Y game
>HOLY SHIT,. "X company" CREATOR OF "X game" MUST BE PLANNING ON BUYING "Y game / Y game's character / etc"
You are fucking retarded.
>>336617742
Sony sell the original crash games on psn and there is no Activision credit anywhere.
They don't need Activision's permission to reproduce the originals, only for new crash games
>>336607702
>Fifth year in a row
Nintendo's show sucked last year, but they killed it in 2014. Sony's '14 show was complete garbage.
>>336617761

>>336617761
>>336618187
I don't think this was ever showed in the states. Thank god.
>>336618140
Not sure if bait or you just can't read. All those games have credits for the cameos and references. Shit like Geno in Mario & Luigi gets a credit from Square Enix, yet people are going overboard because a fully playable version of Crash 1 has no credit to Activision?
>>336617725
>Lucina
>whore
No
>>336617761
Crash's voice is so fucking good
>>336618057
Point still stands.
Sony make money from crash games and don't credit Activision.
Why?
Because Sony own the rights for the original crash games. They can do what they want with them.
Any new crash content however needs Activision's stamp and a royalty check with their name on
>>336610371
>>336617725
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLlCRE9kDVg

>>336618116
From fucking day one, Sony's entire marketing strategy has been to be as cunty as possible while trying to act hip. Even Sega's old anti-Nintendo campaign didn't come off as being this fucking pissy.
>>336618374
>theres no credit given to Actiblizz, therefore it must be true
Man, why dont you fuck off to some retarded ass conspiracy theory site, while your at it.
Since you're so inclined to believe in retarded ass hearsay
Crash 3 was great, but even then they were already getting too far into vehicle gimmick territory. Not sure how I would feel about this with modern Naughty Dog. I don't think they have the talent to push it forward.
>>336618743
>Legally crediting is retarded ass hearsay
I really don't see how Crash can work in the modern age, and honestly, they'll just fuck it up with some terrible gimmick just like Crash of the Titans
its nothing really
Sony still owns the rights to the PSX games,wich why they where the only ones on PSN
they are free to use it without Activisions unvolvement
>>336617725
>Nintendo fans in major damage control over an IP that could render the only half assed game genre they still have a stranglehold on - moot. They feel as though they are being dangerously threatened by Crash return and thus deny and insult a series that had universal acclaim and insane sales (50 million sold)
>>336617157
How is Crash edgy?
Maybe the marketing was, I don't know, but the actual games he permenantly looks confused and almost paranoid if you leave him idle. He never talks and happily does whatever he gets told to do.
If anything Spyro was more edgy, he was rude to the other dragons and the first thing he says is "where's Gnasty Gnorc, I want to toast him". It's no different to "I'm going to kill Praxis!".

Not true. Sony has publishing rights and has to work with Activision to even have the games on the store. Its why those games are not on Vita. Activision is shit.
Also if they can use Crash then why did this happen?

I think the Uncharted easter egg technically contains new content.

It does. The game was remade from the ground up.
>>336607702
kekek fifth year
>>336619287
I have crash on my vita, just a quirk of the American store.
Also the reason why they couldn't publish crash fan art is the same reason Activision needed to be credited for the art book that included crash concepts. Anything 'new' with crash on needs their approval, but Sony can do what they want with the og crash games
>>336619831
>Anything 'new' with crash

The "HA HA FUCK OUR RIVALS" commercials have been the most cringeworthy thing to me, no matter who's doing it. It always feels like they're setting themselves up to look like fools.
It's especially funny considering how far Crash fell immediately after the PS1 era ended, while Mario's still Mr. Videogames.
who the fuck is going to develop it
>>336620463
I am
>>336620463
They will either outsource it or give it to Insomniac, they need to do something besides Ratchet
>>336620463

>>336620446
>he doesn't like banter
>>336620030
Isn't it just a direct port?
I haven't seen any vids of it but the pic I saw looked identical to the original game
>>336620030
>Remake
Looks emulated to me. It even has the z-buffer issues that the PS1 did.
Not trying to troll, but I started playing the Crash Bandicoot series fairly recently.
...I don't get it. I just kinda got bored. I like Spyro, been doing the same with him, but maybe i'm missing something here.
>>336621035

at the end of the easter egg, there was an animation of crash doing a sad kick because he didn't get the high score. I think that animation was not in the original game. Also there's the icon art on the HUD tutorials which I think is new as well
>>336621384
The camera angle is a bit different too and Crash never smiled when he jumped in the old games.
>>336621207
>no timer system in the original, so that's been added.
>crate placement in the level is different as well. In the PS1 version of boulders, you start with 1 crates in view. In the easter egg, there are no crates, only wumpa fruit leading you.
>The animation when Crash spawns in the level is also different
>Crash didn't smile when he jumped in the original
>the camera angle is different
>the animation near the end of crash's spin is different
>The background in the starting area is similar, but noticeably different if you look at the rocks and trees

>Boulder model is differemt
>No kick animation in the original PS1 version when the score is tallied and you fail to meet the goal
You can't replicate Crash
Its "towards/away" from the screen platforming mixed with normal 2D platforming was great. It failed at any attempt to be a full 3D platformer, and Sony already has J&D, Ratchet and Sly Cooper for that.
Crash reboot would be actually impossible to do well and capture what it did well. Even if they kept the same type of platforming, where you go towards the screen.
>>336623568
>Its "towards/away" from the screen platforming mixed with normal 2D platforming was great. It failed at any attempt to be a full 3D platformer,
what?
I mean the first sly cooper is very linear and just like that, always running away from the camera. J&D and R&C were always a bit more open but Twinsanity showed that the gameplay could still be fun while evolving from it's PS1 roots.
id rather see crash 1-3 steam bundle than a new crash
naughty dog has said time and time again that they have no desire to do a new crash
>>336615253
Spyro is sadly still tied to the skylanders brand regardless. In fact, Spyro was already confirmed to be the protagonist of the new Skylanders cartoon that is in production and him, as well as other characters from the Legend of Spyro series have appeared in the Skylanders comics.

it was fun. Then I got all the gems and saw all the cut content. If it had been longer like it was planned to be, removed the annoying tips that came up during bosses. and had more of the gorgeous cutscenes instead of the ingame ones it would probably replace Crash 3 as my favorite.

I only played the first one and Wrath of Cortex
>>336626760
1,2,3 and CTR. Don't fall for the Twinsanity meme.
I bet they give it to some shitty company like sanzaru
>>336626642
It's not. It's difficult to make a good linear platformer, and Neo Dog has proven time and time again they are shit at making good gameplay and rely on casuals to buy their cinematic experiences to stay afloat because all of their writers are film school washouts.
>>336627269

They haven't made a platformer since Jax 3.
>>336619083
I think you guys have confused standard "90s 'tude" with edginess. I mean, there's a fine line between them, sure, but you can plainly see the difference Sonic, the cool thing in the early 90s, and Shadow, the cool thing in the late 90s/early 2000s.
Crash was closer to 90s attitude than edginess but mostly he was just wacky and kind of touched in the head.

As stated by evan wells
So who do you think they're going to hand if off to?
Naughty Dog (though they're probably busy working on TLoU2 orSavage Starlight
Bend Studio
Sanzaru Games
Ready at Dawn (Daxter was pretty good, maybe they can redeem themselves)
Santa Monica
maybe Bluepoint?
>>336617991
SM64's controls are beautifully fluid. It's one of the few games where it's fun to just run around.
>>336607935
Activision makes to much off Spyro and Skylanders they wouldn't sell Spyro
Does Sony even have a studio that has experience with platformers?
>>336627972
>Ready at Dawn
Im pretty sure anyone who worked on daxter doesnt work there anymore
>>336607702
> People actually care about Crash
There's a reason why no one ever talks about the games other than Crash being a Sony mascot.
>>336627972
Sanzaru
They dropped the ball in a few areas of Sly 4, but the game itself was fun, in a lot of ways even better than 2 or 3 on some of the open world aspects. The budget ran out for that final boss and the writing betrayed a few things about the series, but I think they could handle a full reboot of Crash well.
Does anyone really think they would make a new linear crash game and not a ratchet clone?

I dont save everything i read but im pretty sure it was a magazine scan
Might actually be happening.
UC3 had a hint towards TLoU. TLoU had easter eggs for Jak & Daxter and UC but not for Crash because of the rights issue with Activision.
Seeing a playable version of Crash in UC4 is a big deal in my opinion. Not to mention it's the 20th anniversary of Crash this year and they've been teasing us for quite some time now.

The current gaming industry is more inept and lazy than before. You are delusional if you think otherwise.
>>336626642
Like Knack wasn't enough proof they can't make a decent platformer.
I've emulated the trilogy and I want more. Is Wrath of Cortex any good?
>>336630608
>back in its day
Twinsanity got made in 2004 dude, I'd hardly call that the hay-day for Crash.

Crash was so important for Sony back in the day. Unlike so many other mascots in the 3D era he was successful and sold PS1's.
Japan has love for Crash as well, he was one of the mascots sitting alongside Parappa at that point in time for marketing. CTR is arguably one of the best kart racers ever made too.

Couldn´t Agree more.

>>336631327
I just can't imagine Crash getting anywhere in the modern market, he seems like a relic from another time. All I can think is either people will dislike any new game for being too old fashioned or Sony will try too hard to reinvent him and screw it up.
>>336630773
>I'd hardly call that the hay-day for Crash.
True, but current times are even worse. No way in hell the modern gaming industry can deliver a great Crash Bandicoot game. When was the last time a good game was even released? 2010?
>>336631327
I don't hate Crash, but we must face the facts: Crash has no place in modern gaming. He is a relic, a precious relic but he still belongs in the past.
>>336632547
>>336632664
Just like DKC, yeah?
No chance of Naughty Dog making it, and even if they wanted to it would be trashed. Video game bloggers would trash it for not being an epic cinematic experience.
>>336632547
>>336632664
Make a budget title like Ratchet and sell it for 40 bucks. Even if its just a remake of the 1st game or an HD collection that includes CTR.
Even better, CTR with online if they can. It would perform great in all territories unlike Spyro.
Well, there it is...as Jeff Goldblum would often say.
>a new crash bandicoot
If it's more like the original games and less like the new abominations then this will be the third exclusive I care about and I'll finally buy a ps4. I hope they don't fuck it up.

please dont toy with my poor little heart like this. I am on the verge of tears man..
If there is a crash reveal at e3 i might even kill myself if its too much to handle
I didn't actually play anything after the PS1 games. What made things like twinsanity and the mutant things so bad? It can't be hard that hard to make 2.5d platformers.
>>336633807
I still remember when we used to live in this poor ass backward ass town and I would play crash all day and go over to my friends place across the road, single mom family who was always nice to me, and he would write down those long ass cheat code for me and I would go back to my house and tried to input them in and get them wrong every time.
>>336633663
They are just exceptions that prove the rule. For example, take a game like Splatoon. The cartoonish graphics and childish approach only work because they contrast with the rest of the industry and little kids like colorful games. In short, it is because it shouldn't work that it works, but Crash would never work because it would work in a contrast with Splatoon, therefore it can't work unless it doesn't work but if they make it to not work then it really won't work at all. Making a new Crash Bandicoot is a Catch-22.

One of the current presidents was Employee number 3 back when ND made Crash Bandicoot (the first one) also I think 2 or 3 other employees from the first game are still working at ND
>>336624549
Dude watch the documentary that came out some months ago, there are several people working at Naughty dog from the original 12 person ND team that made the original Crash Bandicoot.

Crash was the first game not made by japanese that sold more than a million of copies in Japan.
Crash is the thing.
Its happening. People forget about this

This is some top level b8 anon, you really knocked it out of the ballpark.
>>336634440
Looks pretty average as of right now. I'll never trust Rareware fanboys, they prove that nostalgia blindness is a real thing.

>>336635027

>>336633323
I am definitely not getting my hopes up now
Lets be real here, its gonna be given to a company with a bad track record, and its gonna have all art style, voice actors, humor and gameplay of the post ps1 activision crash games
>>336634932
We haven't seen enough to judge it. They're saying the right things, at least to me. You're not wrong about Rare fans though, and I say that as one. They'll write off anything after the 64 or sometimes before the SNES because it isn't their precious Banjo or DK.
>>336635003
Modern Sony fans love Crash. 1-3 are some of the highest selling games on PSN
>>336635027
Doubt it. They're riding on nostalgia and they keep delaying the release of the toy box. It won't be Mighty Number 9 bad, but it'll probably be mediocre as fuck.
>>336633323
>PS2 era Cortex
I mean I liked the guy from 2, 3 an CTR more, but I'm ok with this guy too.
>>336634762
After almost 10 years of making nothing but cinematic mature shooters I think a lot of people at ND would be more than ready to return to more smaller and colorful titles, specially the ones that were in the teams that made Crash Bandicoot and Jack & Daxter.
>inb4 the old team are all gone
There are several employees that have been at ND since the release of Crash 1 and several more since the release of the J&D games. Shit the 2 presidents are 1 is a J&D era employee and the other is a Crash 1 era employee.
>>336635003
What is Ratchet
>>336607935
I agree anon, but lets at least be happy we got Crash back.
>>336635309
I think hes okey too, but it shows a lack of care with the IP

In the best case scenario that Naughty Dog makes it and it is an amazing GOTY, then what? What is next? More Crash Bandicoot games? Is that what nostalgiafags really want? Think carefully about it.
>>336633323
While i like Evil Lex Luthor Cortex better , This guy did a pretty good job as Cortex , Yet , if you wanna make a Crash comeback , you gotta stick to the basics mayne , Cortex was Evil , not really THAT goofy as he was in Twinsanity
>>336635027
At least the soundtrack should be good.
>>336635474
Just last year Josh Scherr made it sound like they wanted nothing to do with anything that wasn't cinematic or mature.
>>336635638
Have Playtonic said that they've learned from Tooie and DK64's backtrack/padding mistakes? Those were easily the two worst Rare collectathons.
I wonder if Banjo Threeie will show up at E3 too. Grant Kirkhope has been talking about an unannounced project that will be revealed at E3.

Honestly, all that guy needs to do is an evil laugh and I will be fine with it.
>>336635768
Actually yes. They said that they understood that those games got too bloated, and were taking a lot of inspiration from Kazooie and maybe a little from Conker. I think it was a Gamexplain interview they did where they said that.

Yes they did anon.

>old ND employee
Dude I am talking of the people that have been at ND for over 10 years and at the release of the last J&D game, of course the people that jumped at ND to make cinematic garbage will want nothing to do with colorful platformers.
But again, both president of ND are old school ND employees, several senior staff in design, localization, whatever are from the J&D era at worse and in some cases even survivors of the Crash team era, if you think all the OLD school ND devs leave, check out the credits of the original games and see how is running ND now, because most of this people are now lead designers and the like.
The only people that I think aren't old school ND members are most of the writers and game directors.

HAHAHA, WTF? Was Crash Bandicoot even midly successful in Japan?
>>336636354
After hearing his laugh a million times in crash bash no one else will sound right
>>336636643
Surprisingly yeah
>>336636494
I wouldnt want them to waste their time remaking the first 3 games, just make a new one
ctr needs a sequel with online
>>336636643
You're kidding, right? He was huge in Japan. Still is. They deliberately kept the Titans games in America because they knew Japan would never except the redesigns. Thats how much they love Crash.
>>336636643
It was one of the earliest western video game success stories in Japan.
