A few years back, Activision contracted the Mutant Mudds developer to make a Crash Bandicoot demo.
Renegade Kid made a Crash Bandicoot DS demo, called Crash Landed, for Activision sometime around 2008 or 2009, according to a video from an anonymous source close to Activision.
The legal battle for the acquisition of Activision Blizzard continues, with Microsoft countering one of the FTC's latest moves and the Judge delaying a relevant ruling.
Look, to be honest the FTC should just stop.
MS has A/B and nothing has really changed yet...if you are worried about 5-10 years from now...just drop it cause the future is unpredictable.
Take this week's news, that 4 Xbox exclusive are going Multiplatform.
The FTC and the lawyers behind the "Gamers' lawsuit" against Microsoft over the acquisition of Activision Blizzard are denouncing the recent layoffs within the respective legal battles.
The legal battle between Microsoft and the FTC over the Activision Blizzard acquisition continues. The house of Xbox just scored a major point but the FTC is firing back.
Yeah man I think Microsoft here getting to probe is kinda wrong unless you only have accessed to necessary information not complete access imo.
Obviously they aren't giving them the password to Sony's computers and telling them "help yourself."
Maybe Microsoft should also talk and get help from their "congressional influencers" at The Capital. They had plenty to say on the matter before the acquisition. They are mighty quiet after the purchase went through. Almost as if they had a stake in the matter.
Could you perhaps explain how this is related? I'm honestly curious since you seem to bring it up rather often.
You should be careful upsetting Sony too much Microsoft.
You might need them to sell your subpar games soon.
This isn't a major victory. They're essentially being allowed to call witnesses in regards to agreements they reached with Sony and Ubisoft which was initially blocked because Microsoft didn't make the request through the proper channels. This case is dead, there is no way the ftc will be allowed to unwind this acquisition.
they probably know case is death but want some proof to sue them for a few millions regarding other stuff, the ftc loves to sue everyone, be sure that as soon as all this end they will just go sue MS and end in a settlement.
Its dead unless Naughty dog and Sony decide to buy the IP. I doubt any studio besides them can do the franchise justice.
Really impressed with what RK was able to develop using NDS hardware.
His face scares me and he runs like he's just **** his pants.
ND are the only devs that made Crash amazing.
He looks like Trash Bandicoot, and his run's all weird.
Still, that could have been awesome. Looked more or less like a classic Crash game with a free roamy sort of thing going on.
Slightly peeved that they literally just used the exact same menu music (like an mp3 ripped from the original game or something), but I suppose they might've messed it up if they'd tried to change it.
Crash is pretty much the number 1 franchise I want Sony to buy. Spyro (which is never gonna happen after Skylanders) comes close.
