Rumor: Crash Bandicoot to return…in Skylanders

A retail listing suggests that Crash Bandicoot might return in Skylanders: Imaginators.

[nX]

This would pretty much kill any hope had in a proper return of Crash. I hate Activision for a lot of reasons but keeping Crash hostage is probably the biggest.

[Nitrowolf2]

This is going to be in the top E3 disappointments of all time if true and it doesn't have a crash game announcement following it. So many teasers, and it's funny because I made a comment a few days ago saying that Crash might just be a playable skin in Knack 2. Either way, it's just a big middle finger.

I just in all honesty, can't see a dedicated crash game not getting announced alongside this.

[nX]

The problem is that his inclusion in Skylanders would pretty much mean that Activision still owns his IP.

I don't want it developed by Activi$ion, their games are shit.

[bouzebbal]

lol crash and Spyro together.. i dreamt of it in my childhood.. Activision did it.
I hope this is a joke.

[The 10th Rider]

Honestly, while I'd rather have a real return of Crash, this reveal wouldn't disappoint me because it would be too dang hilarious.

I honestly doubt Crash is going to return as a Sony developed game either way. If anything, they may get a partnership with Activision to get an exclusive or timed-exclusive and it will likely be targeted at young kids. That's about the best I'd realistically expect.

[naruga]

boycott..

[TwoForce]

I still can't believe that Activision still hold Crash Bandicoot. I wish Sony bought Crash Bandicot in the first place.

[AngelicIceDiamond]

I honestly think Sony tried striking a deal to get Crash back but knowing Activision they're probably selling the ip for a ridiculous amount of money so ridiculous Sony had to opt out. This is the company that's still using P2P in MP games, releases one new Ip a generation. The cheapest and laziest company in the world and the worst company overall. They're not doing noting with Crash and will charge Sony or any other company that wants the Ip and stupid amounts of money.

Activision is the worst company out right now.

[jessionpc]

Crash is a relic, a half successful exclusive IP that was fired for a REASON.

Sorry if many people on here are too stuck living in the past, but I, "and the rest of the REAL gaming community, not the fleshjacks we got in here", wan't new and fresh experiences. Like Bloodborne.

God... To think we'd miss out on a new blockbuster IP game for... Running around an orange beaver collecting apples... This isn't the 90's anymore people, let it go and pick up that paddle, swim to the boat and get back on board.

Cus you gonna be left behind, HARD.

Even if this game DID get a new coat of skin, "someday", it'll NEVER be the memory, and it won't continue a trend.

Truth hurts so hard, I know.

[ColonelHugh]

What are you, twelve?

When Bloodborne came out and I was playing it religiously, guess what, my friend and I popped Crash 2 into my PS3, and played the game start to finish, and collected everything. Immediately after, I was culling other hunters in Bloodborne.

I mean, honestly, your comment barely makes sense. Crash was also quite successful with its early games. I gather you think any E rated games are probably holding back mature games more palatable to your refined taste in games. But if you look back at the era Crash came from, you can see other exclusives like the Kain series, Silent Hill, (cough cough) King's Field and Shadow Tower.

There's such a thing as an ecosystem with the gaming industry, and Ratchet & Clank proved that Crash has a place waiting for his return.

[theRedDragon]

Wha!t? Not what I was expecting. Disappointing to say the least if this is true.

[Deadpooled]

No Activision, please NO! First Spyro has been hacked to death and now this?

http://memesvault.com/wp-co...

[Aloy-Boyfriend]

Fkin' feared this would happen.

I feared all the teasers and the hype that they have created would make Activision to take notes and just keep Crash to themselves.

Sad news indeed.

[Thatguy-310]

*sigh* to hell with it man. It's either give it back to Sony or don't bring it up. The same people wanting to get the game aren't going to get into freaking skylanders -_- Sony better not announce this sh*t at E3 because if they do I'm going to lose it. Properly bring him back to his old self or don't bring him at all and STOP teasing him on things where he doesn't belong to give some type of impression. All the hype started because of subtle Easter eggs. They should stop if it isn't going to lead them anywhere.

[madpuppy]

You know what would be really great? If Activision (or Sony) announces Crash as a Skylander character (or whatever thing crash ends up being in that people don't want .)
The audience at E3 doesn't applaud...they are just quiet maybe with a heckler or 2 just to punctuate the silence. what a powerful message that would send....and it would be hilarious!!!

[ORyanDeee]

and maybe a couple of people booing here and there haha

[Deadpooled]

@RyanDee

A couple of people? Hopefully the whole conference riots!

[naruga]

@That guy ..damn agree

[-Foxtrot]

WHAT THE F***

Are they joking....they take OUR HYPE and love for the character, our want for him to return to Sony and they decide to try and cash in on him by putting him in Skylanders. WHY WOULD WE BUY IT, they are just going to p*** us off

Jesus Christ this better not be true.

I'd be more ticked off at Sony to be honest....all those hints and what do we get, a Skylanders game

Calm down...calm down

Breathe....just breathe

[gangsta_red]

Well supposedly it will be an exclusive Sony character for the ps4 version of Skylanders. So in a sense your love will return to Sony and Sony was right to hint at it.

If this is true of course.

:)

[-Foxtrot]

Yeah but if that's the case Sony know god damn f***** well what we wanted

It doesn't take a genius to figure out that a Skylanders game is not what we wanted

Their E3 would be a laughing stock. I can see it now in the future

"Top E3 fails....Number One: The Great Crash Bandicoot Troll"

If true...IF then we better give them hell

[Nitrowolf2]

if its not a true crash game, Sony is gonna get so much hate if this is revealed during their press conference.

[ninsigma]

If it's true, then no they shouldn't have hinted it. Very few people from the demographic that would be all over a crash game would want this so it wouldn't be worth teasing. It's seriously gonna tick off a lot of people if this is all it is. And I'd be one of them.

[naruga]

@Foxtrot if this is real ..crowd must hoot Sony altogether...just to take a dose of ridicoulness

[RookieMonsterLives]

Don't know about you , but I am glad Crash is back, regardless if it is just a guess character in a kid game. Love crash Bandicoot and glad he is on Skylander. My kids will love it.

[gangsta_red]

You never know Fox, maybe if you support this and make it successful this will prompt Activision to partner up with Sony again and make a true Crash game.

Or...

It might make Activision make another multiplat Crash game like Crash: Mind over Mutant...yeech!

Either way you got to belieeeeve!

[-Foxtrot]

I don't want a partner ship, no one does, we want them to sell it to them

A partnership means Activision will mostly call the shots and will most likely use a shit studio, not to mention use the shit designs for the characters.

Whether it's Skylanders or another game like Mind of Mutant it's not good enough, it's not what we want. I would rather see Crash stay dead if that's the case. I want to see him rise from the grave sure but not as a horrified zombie.

[IIFloodyII]

Didn't make them make a new Spyro game, Crash becoming a Skylander is sadly a death sentence, hopefully, it's a quick death.

[Thatguy-310]

Lol I feel you man. It's like the hype for the IP was only made because of their subtle Easter eggs so in no way are the fans at fault for assuming that a full fledged title would be made by Sony again. If they do announce a skylanders crash game at e3 I'm going to throw a fit simply because you don't troll people like that. Like you said it doesn't take a scientist to know what people want from the IP especially from all the hints they have given ever since they released the ps4

[Paytaa]

It'll be the same type of blue balls when Microsoft announced Conker for Project Spark. Just on a grander scale.

[Bathyj]

Why Is it Sony's fault? They don't own Crash.

Oh, they should forbid the game from being on their platform because it's not what we wanted?

[-Foxtrot]

Because of the constant teases

Why would you tease Crash only to have him in Skylanders

You are asking to be the laughing stock if that's the case

[ninsigma]

You're right they don't own crash and if an appearance in skylamders was all it was ever going to be they shouldn't have teased it.

[Deadpooled]

@Foxtrot

Also the uncharted 4 thing in chapter 4 and the epilogue. Skylanders killed Spyro and would kill Crash. The only hope now is based on the fact that Activision is nowhere in the end credits of Uncharted 4.

[DarkBlood]

damn if we do damn if we don't

[Liqu1d]

R.I.P. Crash Bandicoot.

[PR_FROM_OHIO]

This would be such a slap to the face to fans IMO I really hope this isn't true

[MasterCornholio]

Be funny if Sony announces this early in the conference and then ends the conference with a new crash game.

Oh well let's see what will happen first before freaking out.

[Bathyj]

Makes me wonder why they haven't done this already. I mean lets face it, they do suck this much.

[pyroado]

Lol literally if activision did this they would ruin themselves even further.

[Mr_Luke]

Poor, poor Crash... what did they do to you? ;(
I remember when Spyro was a great game (Insomniac), then became trash, then arrived to Skylanders and disappeared. The same happened with Crash, if he appears in Skylanders we can say goodbye forever to another great Crash (from Naughty Dog, not the other obscene ones).

[Darkfist]

Crash and Spyro together at last in HELL

[scark92]

I would kill a man! xD

If this happens, we have to hold a funeral for Crash, Spyro already met his demise.

Activison are the worst!

[HawaiianDreads]

Well MS killed off Conker, I guess it's Sony turn to kill off Crash. :(

[pyroado]

Sony has no control over the Crash I.P. activision does so theres nothing sony can do about it. Microsoft still owns rare and you're right they did kill him off. But here with crash is not sonys fault

[Jivesh]

At least let him rest in peace, stop the torture

[Xavior_Reigns]

The only success here would be if announced like the World of Final Fantasy trolling (doesnt look all bad btw) followed by a real game for that wack bandicoot.

[feraldrgn]

No thanks, he needs to be in his own game, or don't bother.

[DeadManMMX]

.....*smacks forehead*

[Yui_Suzumiya]

Just like they did with Conker in Project Spark

[tigertron]

Sony needs to pull their finger out and make Activision an offer they can't refuse.

[ninsigma]

Problem is Activision know how much gamers want it. They probably wouldn't settle for anything less than 3 IPs worth of money.

[DarkOcelet]

If its true then you can keep that $hit

[chuckyj1]

Why are soooo many people ticked off at Sony over Crash Bandicoot? They don't even have the rights to Crash Bandicoot anymore... Activision could just as easily strike a deal with MS to make it exclusive right?

[ninsigma]

People are ticked about all the teases Sony have been doing for crash. If it's ONLY a skylanders game, it's really disappointing.

[SegaGamer]

Screw Skylanders. Crash deserves it's own game, not to be part of one of the worst things in gaming right now. All Skylanders is is Microstransactions terribly disguised as toys.

[Relientk77]

F*** this and f*** you Activision

[TXIDarkAvenger]

Suffering the same fate as Spyro...

[ALowlyRock]

Reminds me of when Conker made his return... in Project Spark.

[PlatinumGX]

I will laugh so hard if this is true.

[KentBenMei]

This would be a good way to inch him back into the spotlight. A PS4/Vita game would be a good place to start with a reboot, so they can have an excuse to push more copies across two system and hold the graphics back (not go AAA).

[Pancit_Canton]

Another rumor with NO CREDIBLE SOURCE.. I'll wait for E3
All this rumors flying around are getting ridiculous.

[Rhezin]

god I hate Activision

[Zjet]

Ive been saying this for ages...

Crash and spyro did have crossover games on GBA

[Kallisti]

I don't want to live on this planet anymore

[pootymcpoockle]

That would be one helluva slap in the face.

[Germany7]

Son of a b****!

Seriously?

[ZeekQuattro]

Wow much like Spyro it would seem Crash will be stuck being a side character in Skylanders.

[ScorpiusX]

Cool , like Skylanders

[wonderfulmonkeyman]

That would make me really sad.
I'm not a big Crash fan, but I still recognize his importance as a gaming icon, and it's saddening to see him being neglected so much...

[BlakHavoc]

All I know is if this game gets a reboot or whatever, ppl better support it with their wallets and not their fingers. Especially after all the hoopla over it!

[CanadianTurtle]

If this is true, then I'd say Activision ISN'T the only one to blame here. Sure they're a bunch of greedy pricks but Sony played a part in this as well. They gave out all these "hints" leading people to believe that Crash was coming back. Not to mention that guy wearing a Crash Bandicoot sweater at a conference. After all that teasing, if this is what we're going to get, then wow. Shame on you both Sony and Activision.

[iorkara]

Man, if this is true. I'm going to perform the Circle of Life on myself.

[Platformgamer]

i hope this is not the only crash bandicoot related thing i'll see at E3
