4 Ways to Make Crash Bandicoot Relevant Again

Most of us have grown up playing and loving Crash, but it’s frustrating seeing him turned into a tribal-tattooed marsupial. With each mediocre game released we’ve longed for the day that the series would return to its former glory days.

In hope of an official announcement, the team from Gamer by Nature racked their brains and came up with four ways that Sony could make the franchise relevant again.

3D platformers are coming back, this year we will have Ratchet & Clank and Yooka-Laylee. Recently, Super Mario 3D World, Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time and Knack had great sales.

SCE Japan Studio and Sanzaru Games can handle the franchise and make a great 3D platformer.

they just need to make a good Crash Bandicoot, no need to put some weird gameplay element, or continue with Twinsanity style https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Give Crash to Sony and their studios, they will bring back the PlayStation mascot, and it will be amazing

Hold_It3413d ago

Do people really want Crash to come back or do they want a Crash Bandicoot themed Uncharted?

Germany73413d ago

No, the PS gamers asking for more Crash Bandicoot since PS2 era are just an illusion.

1996 Voted as ‘Best Year in Gaming’ by UK Public

Have you ever wondered what the best year in gaming was? Well wonder no more! The British public have had their say, and voted for 1996.

Limitedtimestruggle1012d ago

I have some many fond memories as a 10 year old gamer from back then! The best of times!

Dfooster1011d ago

Yeah that is a good choice. Great times

Snakeeater251011d ago

Lol Nintendo 64 … talk about a shitty year for gaming

Old McGroin1011d ago

The N64 was amazing at the time, how old are you, 12?

CobraKai1011d ago

Mario 64, Mario Kart, WaveRace. They’re prolly too young to appreciate em. My kids love the N64.

Terry_B1011d ago

No..1996 was not a good start for the N64. The system had a lousy start in comparison to the SNES, Playstation and probably even the Sega Saturn.

CobraKai1011d ago

So…. Nevermind the first time Resident Evil or Tomb Raider was released, a damn near arcade perfect port of Tekken 2, Quake, Wipeout, Crash Bandicoot, Super Mario RPG, Nights, Panzer Dragoon Zwei? It’s shitty cuz the old N64 is it?

BrainSyphoned1011d ago (Edited 1011d ago )

More of a 97 person myself.
FF7, Symphony of the Night, Gran Turismo, Grand Theft Auto, Dynasty Warriors, Diablo, Fallout, Tomb Raider 2, Mega Man Legends, GoldenEye, Turok, Wing Commander Prophecy, Star Fox 64, Einhander, Tobal 2, Bushido Blade, Colony Wars, Ultima Online. Was a great year to start working at Funcoland.

You beat me to it. I loved both years, but 97 was one of my favorite years ever.

Marcello1011d ago

2013 was a good year too. Dead Space 3, The Last of Us, GTA5, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, Tomb Raider reboot, Bioshock Infinite, Batman: Arkham Origins, Splinter Cell: Blacklist, Grid 2 & more.

Limitedtimestruggle1011d ago

Dead Space 3? That game only deserves to be on rock-bottom lists. In my honest opinion.

Marcello1010d ago

Its is very Marmite that game but to me it was only that love story nonsense that was bad, really bad.
