What does Microsoft's pending acquisition of Activision mean for Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon? How did Sony let them get away?
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.
Sony more interested in remastering The Last of Us again instead of focusing on the classic IPs that made PlayStation what it was
...Money?
Guys check the video on the article it’s very informative and well made with the history behind both studios.
Another thing people don’t want to understand is that the studios and Sony never owned the right for this games a the publishers had the rights to them and Sony saw the diminishing returns the franchises had and just let them be.
Would it had been nice if Sony pursued and purchased them YES would it make business sense NO.
If I had to choose between having those franchises or the studios that made them I would go with the studios 1 billion %.
Wow that's a good article. I didn't know half of that stuff. Xbox has always been lacking in the mascot games, so I wouldn't be surprised if they made some exclusive Crash and Spyro games. Hopefully we get some good stuff from them after the acquisition and it would be smarter to keep them multi plat honestly. I also am hoping they make a Skylanders game that's all inclusive and doesn't need any freaking toys. But seriously hoping for a new open world Spyro adventure that doesn't suck. After the great reception of the Spyro and Crash remakes, I'm pretty confident there's some life left for these franchises. Nintendo has been able to keep Mario adventures fresh all these years so maybe it's time these get that kind of treatment.
Lol, Microsoft always trying to copy Sony. Crash and Spyro had their time in the sun already, I'm not interested in Crash or Spyro anymore.
