Possible reveal of Uncharted 4 or new Crash Bandicoot game

Sony recently released their “Greatness awaits” promotional video for Playstation. The set is alight with all types of Easter eggs for Sony’s upcoming, past, and present games. However we think we have spotted one or two that have managed to sneak by without any attention.

The Uncharted one is stretching it, but the Aku Aku mask is pretty clear. Could just be past remembrance though.

ShugaCane3987d ago

Yeah, the mask reminded me of Crash Team Racing.. WOAAAAAAAAAH NOSTALGIAAA..hum..Seriously, ND, give life back to Crash. He deserves it.

naughty dog, and there for Sony, haven't owned crash bandicoot for 13 years. Why would a Sony 1st party developer make a game for Activision?

abzdine3987d ago

wait for the VGAs my friends, wait!!

Greatness awaits
4>1

Cryptcuzz3987d ago

Crash in Next Gen visuals would be awesome!
That would be cool if Sony can buy back the rights to Crash Bandicoot and have Naughty Dogs revive the series exclusively for Playstation again.

Back in the days Crash was basically Playstation's Mascot and I want him back!

ShinMaster3987d ago

from what I hear.

Looks nothing like Aku Aku.

irokster3986d ago

@ShinMaster wasn't the Aku Aku mask made out of wood and had only three feathers on top? THe one in the video has a skull for the face and a full headdress.

Well, uncharted 3 just came out on Plus....hmmm...

nosferatuzodd3987d ago

What CRASH BANDICOOT god please let it be so if you make it so ill give up my demon ways

WitWolfy3987d ago (Edited 3987d ago )

I thought the crash bandicoot licence is owned by Activision? SO HOW the fudge can it be an exclusive if it isn't even owned by ND anymore?!?!?!?!

GameSpawn3986d ago

Crash Bandicoot was sold off (Originally owned by Naughty Dog now in Activision's hands). Somewhat related Spyro was sold off as well (Originally Insomniac now also controlled by Activision).

Naughty Dog/Sony does still own rights to Jak and Daxter though and they could reboot/continue that if need be. I doubt this would happen because Naughty Dog and their friends Insomniac (they started up in the same building and have had employees go back and forth to work for the other and have also been known to share ideas; Sucker Punch is also loosely related to the two companies) have an unofficial tradition of creating new IPs with each new console generation. In Naughty Dog's case you had Crash on the PS1, Jak & Daxter on the PS2, and Uncharted on the PS3. God only knows what new IP series Naughty Dog will do for the PS4, but judging by their history it should be pretty damn good.

Its a witch doctor from Diablo 3.

stage883986d ago (Edited 3986d ago )

This article is complete bull. Yes id like another uncharted and crash but that's just a random 4 and a kennel and the mask doesn't look anything like aku aku.

TehDiTH3986d ago

The mask u say is clear is 100% Diablo3 witch doctor.

I would love a new Crash game BUT... and i will get a lot of hate for this.

I vote for a FULL Crash Dark themed reboot.I would love a game like that.Perhaps since all of its original fans grew older the game needs to grow up.

b_one3986d ago

uncharted has a chance, if only we will track history back to sir francis drake times and play as him...

geeniusgee6023986d ago

i actually think thats whats gonna happen...didnt some one see a picture of a design in progress in the background in one of The Last of Us development videos? looks like a pirate!?!

Hoping for an Uncharted 4 reveal at this year's VGA.

LoveOfTheGame3986d ago

I will lose respect for ND if they make another UC.

doctorstrange3987d ago

The first thing he punches is a TLOU clicker, so it's not all PS4.

KwietStorm_BLM3987d ago

I don't think that was in question.

doctorstrange3987d ago

But that means old characters in the trailer is just as easily a homage

lucaskeller13987d ago

ahhh crash bandicoot :) my first game ever on my first console ever (playstation 1) 13 years later im still enjoying games by the very same developer

WilliamH3987d ago

Just one thing, do Sony even own Crash anymore. I thought Activision owned it now when they took over Vivendi/Universal

lsujester3987d ago

It is one of the properties of Activision. I don't believe Sony ever owned it to begin with, though. It was always Universal, but they hired Naughty Dog to develop it for the Playstation.

WilliamH3987d ago

You learn something new every day. I think most people just assume that Sony owned it back in the day.

KwietStorm_BLM3987d ago

Yea I'm pretty sure Crash was just the adopted mascot of PlayStation, and Sony didn't own Naughty Dog until later.

Microsoft once tried to nab LittleBigPlanet from Sony after a few drinks

It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow3d ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo1823d ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie2d ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

Lying to yourself is unbecoming.

Article link tells you all you need to know in Sarah Bond's own words.

Hereandthere2d ago

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

ApocalypseShadow1d 19h ago

At least you and others get it. Note drank the Kool aid and asked for seconds thinking it was refreshing.

Most don't even know how it all played out but it's there in black and white for all to see. Microsoft brought it up for years until the MLB forced Sony's hand. It was a win win for Microsoft. Kill one reason to buy a PlayStation or kill the game by dropping it in a cheap service to kill Sony's sales numbers on PlayStation.

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

Cockney1d 13h ago

They chose well, Sony gave them the backing to pursue their dreams with no restrictions even tho their games especially dreams have very niche appeal. Media molecule and Sony deserve respect for this in an age of risk averse publishing.

RNTody3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno3d ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Inverno3d ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

fsfsxii2d ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno2d ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
