True you can, as long as you have a PS3. As long as you are willing to reinvest in a PS3 again and again sure you can play the games you bought on PSN. Unless Sony decides to rewrite them for the PS4.
Id think PC is still a good alternative for people who own the original disks.
Sony is just trolling us, they aren't going to admit something big in a tweet.
Why would they put that Crash reference in the PS4 launch trailer, the arrow to the old Sony Entertainment logo....they could of just had a picture of Crash but they didn't do that, they went a step further.
In all fairness, that trailer also had Assassin's Creed, Watch_Dogs, Street Fighter and Final Fantasy references. All franchises which Sony don't own... So it doesn't mean Sony owns Crash IP now.
Also I'm not convinced they used the ad to tease new games for PS4... Just like there's a Crash reference, there are Echochrome, Heavy Rain and The Last Of Us references too, none of which are likely to release on PS4. The only franchise that we didn't new was coming to PS4 at that moment which was referenced on the ad was Uncharted (Drake's Antiques shop), but that doesn't mean it was a tease, it could as well just had been there as a remarkable/signature PS experience, worth joining the ad.
I don't like it anymore than you guys, so I reall wouldn't mind to be proven wrong, but as of now Crash reference on the video alone doesn't point at the IP changing hands or even at a new Crash being made.
People are really sad here, they really thought Activision--ACTIVISION--would sell an IP at an affordable price, THEY RENEWED THE TRADEMARK BACK IN 2011!!!
I think it's far more likely that Sony and Activision reached an agreement to have Crash on PS4, rather than Activision outright selling the IP. The site being taken down could just mean that a brand new site is on the way along with an announcement. The timing would suggest something at VGX in a couple weeks.
Me to, I was kinda bummed that no hardcore RPGs were available at launch for the PS4. Something like the first Dragon Age would've been awesome. RPGs are getting to close to just being shooters and Hack n'Slash games. I was one of those people that was pissed when Bioware changed up their formulas with DA2 and ME2.There were barely enough RPG elements in those games to even call them RPGs. Oh well, we still have The Witcher 3 to look forward to, and I'm really hoping that Cyberpunk 2077 makes its way to next-gen platforms as well.
Thats how companies are, instead of passing the chalice to someone who can actually do something with it when they no longer can, big-wigs would rather no one benefit from it on the whole, (kinda like Hitler's method of Scorched Earth but on a digital scale.)
Companies only release IPs if they are sinking to the bottom of the ocean in stock or the rare case that they believe no one could make profit more than they could have.
Check out what happened to Sleeping Dogs. If Activision knew they would have made a good profit with True Crime: Hong Kong along the lines of some of their heavy hitters but didn't want to invest more than Call Of Duty to do so, the game still wouldn't have seen the light of day.
Not that it's confirmed crash is back, but wouldn't you think they would deny all questions regarding the title until they officially announce it? If they announce it that is.
Why would he just randomly give it away to a random tweeter asking him... Patience, my lads. :) let time play itself out and then we'll see.
No pls, not another obscene Crash from Activision... better a new IP. Crash won't come back, he died after Crash Team Racing (last Crash game made by Naughty Dog, i think). Why don't they make a new IP with a new character? I miss the old good platform games.
I remember jumping and screaming as a kid when I beat Crash Bandicoot Warped after repeating that boss battle close to a dozen times. Great feeling. Id happily buy a next gen Crash platform made by ND.
I'm one of those people who actually likes the post-Naughty Dog Crash games. Sure they don't feel like true Crash games, but they are solid platformers. However, I don't want another game like that -- it's time for the franchise to get back to its roots. Activision hasn't done anything with the IP since 2008, aside from one mobile game. Sell the IP to a company who actually gives a damn.
We being trolled. Of course they gonna try to deny us that they bought it.They wanna make sure were eating when they announce it so we can choke on our food :p.
Crash is probably the most beloved character ever to grace a Sony console. It's a crime that Activision have locked him up and thrown away the key. My day is ruined.
Something is fishy here. Why the main Crash website is off then? and why Activision is not making any reference to Crash's games? Is there another company buying the IP or it is just Sony trolling us? I don't know.
wait maybe they didnt buy it back but are still getting it exclusive because how would hey have been allowed to put that crash cameo in their launch trailer
the add didnt show the easter egg for nothing..mabe we ll see Crash from Activision again :(( as timed exclusive that it will be lame but lets hope for the better that Sony just trolling

I can play the game discs on my PS3 (as well as my PS1 and PS2). And the games through PSN work on PS3, PSP and PS Vita.
Are you ever on PC articles? Or do you guys have nothing going on that you feel the need to be on almost every console article.

to all the Sony execs, they need to know how many people want Crash on PS4 =)
I hope Sony can aquire the IP, Activision really is not worthy of it.
I have the physical copies. Try a bit harder next time kid.
well, it was Exciting while it lasted. :(

I hate Activision...Not because they own the Crash IP but because they aren't even doing anything with it...

I'm just hoping that Sony wants to surprise us in the near future.
