Please Stop Teasing Me With Crash, Sony

Steph from GamersFTW writes: "For those of us who still cling unyieldingly to the hopes of a Crash Bandicoot revival, the latest little teaser should renew that unfounded hope. It should. I’m not sure that the passion of even the hardiest fans can endure tease after trolling tease; for once this just feels like a reminder of how many times we’ve been let down"."

Crash Bandicoot reveal at E3 2016

Believe

[Yukes]

I want to believe.

[BigBosss]

The truth is out there

[ScorpiusX]

Yet no news of Activision selling an IP that almost everyone is wanting , get the feeling had they sold it would have made headlines . Seeing how no headline of such were reported am guessing Activision still owns it and is using all this as free press for it .

[-Foxtrot]

I literally just want to see the room go black and then hear

"Sony Interactive Entertainment presents...a Sony First Party production...Created and developed by NAUGHTYDOG (Or Japan/Sanzaru Games etc)"

Then hear the the inside of a box been rattled around only for the screen to show the box open with all the Crash characters come out.

Announce Crash Bandicoot 4 (a continuation of the old games)

In the mean time leading up to the game they say that a HD remaster with all the Crash games are coming with trophy support and online support for Crash Team Racing

[Kavorklestein]

When does any E3 presentation (whether on stage or on screen) ever say a term like:
"Sony first party Production" ???
Or "Microsoft first party production"
First party is a term that people who talk about games like to use, not really a catchy term to show or say during a trailer or reveal.

Other then that tho, I can picture your scenario pretty well and that would be awesome for Sony fans.

[-Foxtrot]

Because that's kind of what the guy used to say in the Crash Bandicoot intros

Except instead of "First party production" it was "Universal Studios Production"

Since Universal won't be involved it's the only thing that would fit and get the point out in the conference that it's not multiplatform but first party

[smashman98]

You know what I wanna see...

that guy in the costume come on stage with the megaphone just talking all kinds of smack lol

[Aloy-Boyfriend]

We are getting our mascot back!
'bout damn time!!

[UltraNova]

About damn time indeed...

Imagine this>> Sony opens E3 2016 with a live feed of Crash Bandicoot crash visiting Redmond holding a loudspeaker saying "I'm back b****s, fear and tremble!!"

Then Neil Druckman from ND appears on stage to reveal the new Crash game and show the first trailer.

That would be a megaton to remember...

Great times!!

@disagrees

Did I touch a nerve? Oops...

[DarkOcelet]

Unless Activison is making the game then they can keep it.

God i hope Sony are the ones making this game. I am so tired of Mediocre Crash games from Activision.

[-Foxtrot]

Yeah if they use the new Crash design like that "Wanted" post used a few days ago then they can keep it.

Design is horrible...the "tribal tattoos" man ¬¬

Oh don't get me started on what they've done to Aku Aku

[Yukes]

Agreed. That's the big question, isn't it? We're all getting excited about a new Crash, but who is going to bring him back to life?

[skydragoonityx]

Its coming

[MasterCornholio]

If Crash doesn't arrive after all the teasing Sony will be the biggest trolls in gaming.

[DragonDDark]

That's Kojima lol

[BigBosss]

I can feel it, it will definitely be revealed at E3 2016 and I pray to God that Naughty Dog develops it! They are the best developers out there in my opinion xD

[CBaoth]

Most the original talent responsible for Crash and Jak is gone though. I think the current naughty dog teams need to stick to what they do best; make mature, cinematic experiences. Perhaps judging by Insomniac's work on the newest R&C, they would be a good candidate for a Crash revival. Maybe come full circle, have Mark Cerny get onboard and consult on the project like the original days at Universal.

[garrettbobbyferguson]

Naughty Dog has said they are beyond "the childish" nature of the crash series. I don't want them to lay a finger on it if Sony somehow DOES get Crash back. Clearly they do not care about Crash or Jak And Daxter any longer.

[chrisx]

I think everything that's been going on points to a new crash game being revealed soon. Which is Awesome

[BigBosss]

Honestly, I'd be really happy if we got a Crash Team Racing remastered in full HD 1080p, 60fps, online feature both multiplayer and battle mode, tons of characters, weapons and levels, achievements and more!

Oh God, I hope this happens!

[chrisx]

Damn, now won't that be amazing

[BigBosss]

Dude, I'll be on this game constantly haha!

[SmallestSteph]

That was definitely one of the best games. I can't count how many hours I spent completing everything over and over again. I now need this in my life.

[HRD_Games]

I swear they're just dangling him in front of us like a orange furry carrot. Utter trolls.

[DiscoKid]

Don't you mean a wumpa fruit?

[tmisellati]

i believe crash is coming back and there are many indications of his return. first indication was the removal of all crash related stuffs from activition games webpage. the second was the showing up of crash silhouette in a traffic sign in the PS4 launch trailer. the third was when Andrew House told The Telegraph that the company is open to revisiting the franchises.the 4th was when Shawn Layden appeared on to the playstation experience stage wearing a T-shirt with Crash Bandicoot image.
i can not imagine all of the above mentioned indications were just a coincidence.

[mistajeff]

I think they're trying to drum up demand because Activision won't let anyone use the license. If Sony can prove there's a demand for it, Activision might change their minds.

[skratchy]

For some reason I was think it was Vivendi Universal... They must be the ones that own Spyro, I guess.

[TimelessDbz]

To be honest. I don't care for crash and alot of other ps4 users too.

[Yukes]

Thanks for your wonderful insight. I'm sure the feeling is mutual all round.

[SmallestSteph]

I don't care for Fifa, yet here we are...

[Germany7]

PS4 gamers really want Crash Bandicoot back, we are also tired of teasing us.

[brando008]

Loved the games as a kid, now let's move on. When Spyro changed, I learned to leave the memories in the past....

[skratchy]

I wouldn't be surprised if they bring back Crash or Jak. Especially since ND isn't planning on doing another Uncharted game next. Then again, peeps won't shut up about the possibility of a TLoU 2. I'd be fine with either...or both XD

[Novistador]

I can only imagine the amount of tears and salt that will flow when its announced to be multi plat.

[LamerTamer]

I don't see what the big deal is. The game was crap. All you did was bop crates, jump pits, and collect apples or whatever it was down a linear corridor. The graphics were good back in the day but that was about it. Let sleeping bandicoots lie.
