Crash Bandicoot has a Higher Chance of Being Revealed at PAX Prime

DualShock Nexus: Since PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale was announced, fans everywhere have been anxiously awaiting the announcement of Crash Bandicoot. With each gaming convention that passes more and more characters are revealed, however Crash is nowhere to be found. We here at DualShock Nexus have recently realized that if Crash Bandicoot were to get a reveal it would more than likely happen during PAX Prime; here's why.

[smashcrashbash]

One of the reasons I think Crash will probably be in the game is that Activision is not using him for anything right now. So if Sony comes to them offering money to use him they would probably prefer to get something for him at the moment rather then just let the character just sit there gathering dust.

[Whitefeather]

I hope they can even buy him back, would love a Crash game as a PS4 launch title.

[MaxXAttaxX]

If they show off fur physics on the PS4's announcement with a close up of Crash's fur and then zoom out at the end to reveal him and his return to PlayStation.... that would be amazing.

[HarryKawkReturns]

@nathanexplosion
If that were to happen, my god....
My life would come full circle.

[Awesome_Gamer]

Yes please. I love crash.

[Hairy Chewie]

*Developed by Naughty Dog

[StayStatic]

Awww what , Activsion owns crash ?

This why we can't have nice things

[WillGuitarGuy]

@Nathan You. Just. Blew my mind! I can't wait for PAX, it's only less than 2 weeks away!

[colonel179]

Activision could also use the hype of PSABR to make another Crash Bandicoot game.

[Soldierone]

I was thinking that, or include Spyro as well to advertise Skylanders.

[Knight_Crawler]

How does this work anyways? does Sony have to offer 3rd party publishers money to use some characters or do they get them for free since its free marketing to some degree.

[TBM]

money activision does nothing for free :-(

[ProjectDeputy]

never understood the pathetic decision of sony giving their ps1 maskot over crappy activision

[KiasuKiasiMan]

Ummm, did you read it up? Sony didn't have a choice. When Crash was developed, Sony didn't consider the issue of IP. When the next generation came, Acti wanted Crash to go multiplat and Sony didn't have a choice since they didn't have any rights to the IP. Thats why now Sony is very protective over all their IPs

[SPARDA_426]

If Crash does get announced on August 31st, it will be an amazing addition. Now all that would be left for me are Solid Snake/ Big Boss, and Spyro.

[Whitefeather]

I'm thinking Old Snake and Raiden will be announced at the MGS 25th party on the 30th of August.

[user5467007]

Hopefully

but not Raiden....just Old Snake would be fine

I just don't want them to waste a character slot.

[Sevir]

Im sorry But Raiden is a perfect fit!
and He's play awesome! I dont know why people are bitching about a character that soo badass in MGS4... I loved Raiden's parts in MGS4.

[Omar91]

@Servir- can you imagine Radien vs Dante? awesome fight
@ mike- most likely Radiens in the game and he seems perfect for this type of game whether you like him or not.

[smashcrashbash]

Not me. I still want Tomba, Nariko and Sir Dan. And since a lot of the info from the first leak seems to come to pass I think that Nariko and Sir Dan are a sure thing. Tomba, Snake and Spyro seem less likely though.

[yewles1]

I think Crash has more of a chance of having a new 'Acti' game announced before he gets inducted into PSASBR.

[flavorbabies]

WHOA. http://t0.gstatic.com/image...

[SPARDA_426]

Is that... could it be... PASBR Crash!!!!!!!!!

[flavorbabies]

No found it seraching: "whoa crash bandicoot" calm your Wumba Fruits.

[NickTheHitman]

Makes perfect sense. Hope they do announce Crash. Maybe even Spyro.

[Relientk77]

I hope both

[HammadTheBeast]

I hope all three. I want both versions of Spyro, so that the old one can kick te fake, smashed head, Skylanders one.

[Relientk77]

Omg please do it Superbot, I'd be so happy

we need Crash Bandicoot

[Soldierone]

He'll be announced. The "leaked clues" noted him in it and everything else they hinted at has been confirmed. IF PAX is the last event before launch, then Snake and Crash will be announced, you heard it here.

(forgot the MGS event is at the same time, so Snake will also be there, but will probably be announced "again" at PAX)

[Sevir]

That leak was a lie
That was a very bad photoshop with Crash in it!

[Soldierone]

I'm talking about paul gale network. He had a picture of a car with the same colors as Crash sitting infront of a sign that said "outback" on it, or something similar to that. Everyone came to a conclusion that it lead to Crash.

You also have voice over work hinting at Crash as well elsewhere. He will be in it, no way they release this game without him in it.

[Sevir]

Never said he wouldnt be in the game. I saw the voice acting profile for the game
I just said that if you were going by the character select screen leaks then the one with crash is a lie... I'm sure both crash and spyro will be in it as they were among what made PlayStation, PlayStation.

[HammadTheBeast]

The picture in the article makes him look like a PedoCrash.

[flavorbabies]

Wat.

[Relientk77]

I think it makes him look like Crash Bandicoot from the PS1 games

[Rockefellow]

Crash doesn't fuck around with candy. He goes straight to cake and go-karts

[HammadTheBeast]

This was a joke by the way. I love Crash.

[imXify]

Keeping the best for the end :)

[timothylittle]

Great story! I just did an article about remembering the Crash Bandicoot series a few days ago. Glad to see it might not be done just yet!

[prototypeknuckles]

Do it superbot you really need it some people are really pissed about new dante so much that they canceled, their preorder, they all say if you put in crash or cloud they change their mind.

[Rockefellow]

Who? Did you read this on the bathroom stalls in a middle-school?

[prototypeknuckles]

On the forums for the game and with some people on YouTube they said they will not be buying this game if crash, spyro, and cloud arent in, and some are so turned off by dino that they wont even look at the game anymore.

[Rockefellow]

Well, I'm sure a few individuals are upset about the lack of Crash and Spyro, and Dino certainly has his usual level of hate in regards to this game.

[delicia]

Some people at youtube make the most retarded comments I've ever seen. Also, canceling pre-orders for that reason is really dumb.

[telekeneticmantis]

That would be neat
...

[iWishTifaWasReal]

And there is still Tokyo Game Show in September.

[kingPoS]

If Crash is going make it in I'd rather he have his old school looks.

[WillGuitarGuy]

Same, but i also wouldn't mind his new look.

[Gratisfaction]

HOO MAN! If Crash returns, this is the first thing that i'll think of.

[CaitSith]

Oh, the childhood memories. This was the first PS1 game I played.

[NBT91]

There is far too much fan pressure for them not to add him IMO.
He has been número uno request from the beginning.

I don't really mind though, he was great in the ps1 era sure but he hasn't been relevant ever since Naughty Dog stopped developing the games... And oh wow could you imagine the team responsible for Uncharted making a Crash Bandicoot reboot? That would be interesting.

[shutUpAndTakeMyMoney]

Sorry but crash is kinda dead.

[ThatArtGuy]

Coma, not dead.

[ProjectDeputy]

give me nariko
spyro
crash
ff7 or ff8
and ofc snake...screw gayden new comers can have this f@g,i dont

[a411411]

I think sony should buy ownership of crash and spyro back, they need to go back to their rightful owners.

[sarshelyam]

I couldn't agree more. Once development of Crash left Naughty Dog, the series began its descent...same goes for Spyro leaving Insomniac.

[ThatArtGuy]

Activision is making bank with Skylanders, so Spyro's off the table. Crash, however, might be up for grabs for the right price.

[Bay]

All I need left are Crash and Sir Dan, then I'll be happy. Anything after that is just icing for me.

[CanadianTurtle]

Lets just hope its not the ugly looking Crash from Crash of the Titans with all the tattoos and stuff.

[sarshelyam]

IF Crash makes it into the roster, I'm betting on him being part of a DLC pack. I just don't feel, with the leaks, that there's room for him upon release. I'd love to be wrong, but my gut says otherwise.

[chrispen9]

If both Spyro and Crash are announced, I'll be happy.

[JDcg]

Dr. Neo Cortex will be the end guy in the game and crash will come to help beat him. That is my theory, LOL.
