Report - PS All-Star: Activision Hints Crash Bandicoot

MP1st - Seems that Crash may be making a splash (sorry) in the upcoming Playstation brawler title, Playstation All-Star Battle Royale.

They are not doing anything with the IP.. if anything this is a good time for them to test the waters to see if the character can still be well received (and would actually gain them goodwill with some people).

I hope it is true for Crash fans. I only ever played Crash 3 (awesome game!!!).

I hope they announce an HD remake or collection of the series for it's anniversary. Activision would be insane not to do anything with Crash Bandicoot on PAX day.

Activision hasn't done anything with him, I see no reason why they shouldn't license him out to Sony.

raytraceme4252d ago

I am sure that Sony still owns the rights to the first 3 games.

poopsack4252d ago

They never did, it was always Vivendi. Unfortunately Sony just published it.

DUSK5064251d ago

@KnaveX, Yes but they were made by Naughtydog who is now a first party SONY studio.

jocomat94251d ago

i wish but they are on psn already. not in hd.

Teflon024251d ago

@KnaveX
Actually sony owns publishing rights for the first 3 and CTR atleast. Vevendi didn't even own crash at a technical standpoint just they owned naughty dogg at the time and had the right to leave with the ip since sony didn't do the smart thing ahead of time and get the ip rights. No one but Sony can permit the use of Crash Bandicoot 1-3 and CTR. Don't know about Crash Bash though

Please be true because every character reveal so far for me has been I ALREADY KNEW HE/SHE WAS IN, OR REALLY YOU PUT HE/SHE IN HOW ARE THEY PLAYSTATION ALL STARS.

dboi7874252d ago

Words cannot express my excitement right now...

smashcrashbash4252d ago

Well if this is true it will quell some of the whining that has been going on about the roster. Unless it isn't classic Crash which will actually multiply the current whining by one hundred.

Though PlayStation All Stars Battle Royale is a bit of a cult classic, it could have been a big hit if it launched in 2022 instead of 2012.

It wouldn't have mattered, Sony would've rushed it out and left it to die. More so now than before with their focus now being on SP narrative driven AAA games.

CrimsonWing69514d ago

Oh, but somehow Smash Bros. 64 made it work?

It just couldn’t compete with Smash Bros. and it wasn’t a free-to-play game like Multiversus.

PapaBop514d ago

I think it released at the right time. It's just after the success of Smash and Multiversus, it's finally time for a sequel.

spoonard514d ago

I'd be all in on a remake or remaster of the original. I enjoyed it because I didn't sit there and compare every aspect to SSB. I just enjoyed it as it was.

Magatsuhi514d ago

Sony should make part 2 and dump a good amount of money on it. Scrap super only kills and it's bound to succeed.

Father__Merrin514d ago

Yes the power kills spoilt it completely WTH was they thinking you should have hp bar that's it

God of War: Ragnarok Weirdly Makes PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale Canon

God of War: Ragnarok has plenty of fun references to PlayStation history, but now fans have discovered a conversation that calls back to PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale — the crossover fighting game released for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita.

Nyxus521d ago

I wouldn't say canon. More like an easter egg.

Deathdeliverer520d ago

That’s interesting. It actually does make it canon lol. He mentioned it in a mainline game. I’d say that’s pretty cool.
