WholesomeGamer: The return of Crash Bandicoot has been one of the most talked about items among gamers on the net over the past several years. Fans want to see the once proclaimed PlayStation mascot in action again! What is Activision doing with the franchise? Did Sony get it “back”? Would Naughty Dog develop a new game? So many questions and tons of rumors abound but one constant remains the same: People want to see Crash back in a brand new game and I think the Vita should be where it starts.
teamLFG rallies developers from across the industry to bring to life an ambitious incubation project.
Definitely.
Looks like they haven´t abandoned their live service plans after all.
"Our first game is a team-based action game that draws inspiration from fighting games, platformers, MOBAs, life sims, and frog-type games. Players will inhabit a lighthearted, comedic world set in brand-new, mythic, science-fantasy universe. We can’t wait to reveal more."
At least it's not an extraction shooter. It's team-based, so not likely my thing. But perhaps it will at least add something new to the current slew of MP games out there?
"industry veterans who have shipped titles like Destiny, Halo, League of Legends, Fortnite, Roblox, and Rec Room"
"and richly social virtual worlds"
"where players can find friendship, community, and belonging"
"We will make immersive multiplayer worlds"
"but throughout live service as we continue to grow the game and community for years to come"

Jesus. Does Sony ever learn? Like if they want to partner with them that's cool and all but buying the studio right off the bat? It's insane thinking after all the money they've just lost from Concord, not to mention the lack of actual hype for Marathon. Who is making the decisions here?
This is their main multiplayer studio now. Hopefully nomore pullin teams like Santa Monica, Bluepoint, Naughty Dog etc into stupid multiplayer endeavors.
Buying it or not they still had to put a lot of money into it
They could have created a new studio to reboot some older titles or ones inspired by them. A JRPG like Legend of Dragoon, a first person shooter like Resistance or a platformer like Jak and Daxter.
Can't believe they killed Japan Studio, London Studio, and Pixelopus for this, Destiny, and Concord.
Sony has bought out their distribution business partner in China and will be renaming it to Wanzhanpiwu Cultural Entertainment Development.
Maybe they'll be able to keep Playstation console prices stable as a result. One can dream.
I doubt. Only reason PS console prices hasn't change is because Sony stock piled in anticipation of tariffs. 6-12 months at best until they announce their own increases.
Who would have thought that giving games away for free would be so lucrative?
PS4 first, but yes please!
As long as it is also on PS4, I'm good
Got all 3 crash games and CTR on vita last year when sony accidentally unlocked the downloads for the US. Amazing games still, especially CTR.
Would be nice. It's not like it would be as expensive to make as Uncharted or Killzone.
As long as they separate the trophies and no cross game between PS4 and PSVita, we're good.
