Making Crash Bandicoot – part 1

In a multi-part article , Andy Garvin , the Co-founder of Naughty Dog , tells the story of giving birth to one of the most iconic characters in the history of our beloved medium , the one and the only ... Crash Bandicoot! .

Good old days ... I still remember the first time I played Crash ... it was like WOW!

And those funny commercials..." You are hurting my elbow " lol

[captain-obvious]

i'd sell my soul for a new crash games thats made by ND them selves

oh the memories
:(

[Bounkass]

Same fishd! I really hope they release Crash Bandicoot for PS3!

[Quagmire]

Any future Crash Bandicoot releases will be made by Activision unforuntaely, so dont hold your hopes high expecting the same level of fun and quality as the first 4 ND Crash's.

In the perfect world, ND would re-release a HD version of Crash Team Racing with new tracks, characters, and online multiplayer.

I hope that the nostalgia gets the better of Naught Dog. Everything they've touched seems to turn into gaming gold, so a PS3 Crash Bandicoot would likely rock the planet to pieces.

Please ND, do it for us, we'll support it. You know all the closet Crash fans'll come out for it too.

It won't happen unless Activision sell the rights...of which, they're doing bugger all with at the moment. Hey, at least they;ve stopped torturing the guy.

Great article. All those insane crazy programming solutions/techniques/algorithm s/tricks they had to come up with. So awesome!

[Cajun Chicken]

Radical try to hard and move away from the Looney Tunes style design and humour within early Crash Bandicoots. Apparently Activision just axed another Crash reboot in the last year, it was going 'dark'. That was probably a good thing.

ND aren't going to take back Crash, so pass it back to Travellers Tales. Wrath of Cortex and Twinsanity were great.

Crash is the one series that got me hooked on gaming as a kid. I loved those commercials too, especially the nintendo and swimming pool ones.

[Dayngls]

[Cajun Chicken]

This is an great read. Really can't wait until part 3.

I miss the original Crash Bandicoot. heck, I was thinking of playing the first one again on my PSP the other day. Great series. The Naughty Dog one anyway.

LOL "Sonic's Ass"

Hell i love this article.

Moar please!

I think the only one I liked after NaughtyDog was Traverlers tales, Crash Twinsanity.

Neo Cortex in that game was highly amusing and the music was pretty decent too.

Video is just one of the reasons I loved the game

"Are those real" :)

And we need another Ape Escape too!
