Speaking to The Telegraph, Sony Computer Entertainment CEO Andrew House said there's a possibility for Sony to revisit older IPs like Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon.
"This is very dangerous ground," Mr House laughs. "In concept, it is something we've been thinking about and discussing, and this is a shift for us. We've started to say that maybe there isn't anything wrong with going back and looking at characters that people still talk about, that were a big part of either their childhood or their youth. I definitely wouldn't close the door on that."
While Activision now owns both of series, Crash and Spyro acted as mascot for Sony's PlayStation during the late 90s. Maybe this is a job for Sony's Third Party Productions group?
For many, the game became the sound of the 90s – but Josh Mancell tells us how the music for PlayStation’s first mascot game originated in Kraft cheese and Kraftwerk
The platformer’s original creators and the stewards of the remastered trilogy dive into the original series and how it impacts the franchise today.
Thanks Sony for letting this slip away to Activision.
25 years wasted.
Oh btw I just purchased the trilogy.
Brought tears to my eyes.
It's so good. I bought it for my nephew's and we played all night.
Brendan O’Brien, the voice actor behind the original Crash Bandicoot and several other characters featured in the classic Naughty Dog trilogy of games on PlayStation, died on March 23.
Make it happen Sony
Wouldn't it just be selfish now for Activison to hold onto them
Skylanders doesn't use Spyro anymore, it's just called Skylanders
While Crash Bandicoot hasn't been used by Activison for ages
I don't see why they would give us a huge hint in the PS4 launch trailer if they don't plan on getting Crash back. I mean you would just have a silhouette of Crash on the sign...that's it but they went a step further to make a hint looking like Crash is back at Sony. Why do that?
Imagine a Crash ps4 collection that has Crash 1,2,3 , Crash Bash, and CTR all remastered in 1080p 60fps with split screen and online play !
Too good to be true, but let me dream..
I bought a PS4 in hope that cartoony platformers like Crash Bandicoot and Spyro would return to the system and would be the console this generation to have those kinds of games.
Make it happen, Sony, I'd buy both games in a heartbeat.
I am listening. Bring back all the franchises. War of The Monsters(Just for me)
