it should be more like: makes you want it in HD. Activision owns the rights now so for it to come out to PC 360 and PS3 would be nice.

unrealgamer584754d ago

Yeah he clearly did It for hit's, There's a method to his retardation

HolyOrangeCows4754d ago

Activision owns Spyro and Crash....yuck. Those poor IPs; they deserve so much better.

Plus, the SCREENS might make me want this specific mod, but the VIDEOS that I've seen make me say "no thanks"....as Crash runs about 1/4 MPH.

Theonetheonly4753d ago

It wouldn't run on ps3 Its cry-engine 2 not 3.

jon12344753d ago

wtf?? activision own crash now?? i hate them... they ruin alot of things

MaxXAttaxX4753d ago (Edited 4753d ago )

I've lost faith on the "other" Crash games.

Only the Sony/Naughty Dog Crash games would be worth remaking in HD and those would be PS3-only.

Ri0tSquad4753d ago

"Sadly, Activision owns the IP rights now and that is highly unlikely."

You would know that the authoer does acknowledge that.

It's more of a "what if" type of thing since Sony has been leading in remake scene for consoles and most fans are familiar with it on the PS platform. The series was in its prime during those days when ND developed it; now the series is just horrible.

For people who want more info, here is the mod's link:

zeeshan4753d ago

Why did Sony let go of the IP? You should never let go a successful IP! Imagine if GT4 was still PS3 exclusive. Yes, I know GT4 wasn't THAT great but still, would have meant a lot. Anyhow, I hope Sony's bet on AGENT pays sooner than later :)

MaxXAttaxX4752d ago

You mean GTA4?
That franchise was never PlayStation exclusive in the first place.

In case anyone missed the link for the video at the bottom of the page, here it is. I almost missed it myself.

Thanks. I actually DID miss it. Bubbles vote added :)

BlackKnight4754d ago

Holy shit, missed the vid!

I thought they just imported the model and other items and took screens. But they got a whole camera system, ANIMATIONS, same movement mechanics, etc.

Amazing.

Istanbull4754d ago

Thanks, I hope Naughty God takes back the crash IP and makes Crash 4(Activision versions not counted)

Elven64753d ago

Istanbull: Activision technically only did the iPhone cart racers. Mind over Mutant was something they partially published but that was more of a Vivendi/Sierra game than anything else since it came out a few weeks after the Activision merger happened.

I'm willing to give Activision a chance with their first "true" Crash game. The iOS games weren't bad and I think they reviewed well too.

starchild4753d ago

Ah mods...one of the joys of PC gaming.

BISHOP-BRASIL4753d ago

Oh crap, it looks even worse in motion!

I'm not trying to downplay the work modders put into it, but mixing a photorealistic background with stilized cartoonish character and elements only make both things look like crap...

@xtremegamerage obviously the kids dont understand what the word ondagar is.

Used to love it when you jump on things and crash would say ondagar brings back great memories this game.

BISHOP-BRASIL4753d ago

Is that english? Sounds like swedish or something... LOL

Serious question.

TheLastGuardian4753d ago

I want to see it on the Uncharted 3 engine. I would kill to have Naughty Dog make a Crash game for PS3.

50Terabytespersec4753d ago

Not awesome not impressive nothing here move on next story!
Go back to Legos

Karooo4754d ago

Activision owns the IP. :(

Wish Sony could make it for PS3.

MidnytRain4753d ago (Edited 4753d ago )

Hold on, *I* get bubbled down and hidden for being off-topic, but *you* don't? Your post is just as relevant to the subject as mine! I even got a bucket of agrees! I hate this system...

I noticed a large amount of people on this page have bubbles missing. This is getting ridiculous...

Aussiegamer4753d ago

@midnytrain, ok well you got the disagrees because the word is not random, that word was used in all the crash games, so you obviously never played the game or you should of remembered this.

Second of all you got the agrees because other kids clearly have not played the game either and dont understand the whole "ondagar" thing.

And thirdly yes the system sucks, I got marked for trolling in a ps3 article the other day when I was having a joke, and going by my comment history I love sony stuff, hey I even put /sarcasm at the end of statement. Eventually you just end up going meh. Kids love bubbling people down cause their little haters that love negative stuff, and the admins dont take the initiative to realize what comments are substantial and what ones are not.

omi25p4753d ago

@aussiegamer Ive played all the crash bandicoot games and i cant remember the word ondagar. That's doesn't mean i dont believe you but dont assume that everyone is going to remember specific words from a game.

Theonetheonly4753d ago

@midnytrain

I went back up and bubbled you up dude. :)

Looks great, but as long as it's in the hands of Activision, 1) it'll never look that good, and b) it'll never play as well as the PS1 classics.

tigertron4753d ago

Whoever disagreed must not have played the originals.

Naughty Dog should never have sold the franchise, because apart from the Wrath of Cortex, Crash has died. Crash 1, 2 and 3 were some of the best games of the 90s.

christheredhead4754d ago

man, i miss the good old days of crash. was playing through warped a few nights back and couldn't put it down. it would be cool if naughty dog owned the rights and made a crash game on the same technical and graphical level as uncharted. that would be insane.

joydestroy4754d ago

that would be insane indeed. insanely AWESOME! lol

MRMagoo1234753d ago

I never really got into crash it may be because i wasnt very good at it but games like this just dont appeal to me at all so i cant get excited about anything to do with it even if the ps3 gods AKA naughty dog did make a new one.

'this platformer got massively underrated because it wasn't on a tacky nintendo console.'

Apart from the game appearing on Gamecube, Gameboy Advance AND DS then? -

It just couldnt compete with the Mario games, after Naughty Dog stopped making the games.

news4geeks4754d ago (Edited 4754d ago )

they were the fake crash games

compete with mario lol what is this the 80s?

emekcrash4753d ago

LOLOLOL XDDXDXDDDD

YEAH MAN TOTAL 80S LOLOLOL

Yeah, no.

Don't offend Mario.

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.

Limitedtimestruggle587d ago

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

Dfooster587d ago

Yeah that is a good choice. Great times

Snakeeater25587d ago

Lol Nintendo 64 … talk about a shitty year for gaming

Old McGroin587d ago

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

CobraKai587d ago

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

Terry_B586d 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.

CobraKai587d 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?

BrainSyphoned587d ago (Edited 587d 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.

After10Ben586d ago

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

Marcello587d 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.

Limitedtimestruggle586d ago

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

Marcello586d ago

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