If Crash is the megaton I will get from the keynote, then I hope Uncharted 4 and The Order 1886 have a magnificent showing.

It's not like the show isn't guaranteed to be great. I'm attending so something is bound to make me happy.

Would a lot of people really buy a new Crash Bandicoot game? I dunno.. The platformer never really did anything for me personally.
 
Crash is just an oversight people want to see corrected. Even if Sony got it and made a new one, there's no way it'd be like the old Crash games, it would effectively be a totally different game that they could make regardless, it'd just star Crash.
 
Guys, but are you sure Sony need to buy Crash from Acti? Maybe some kind of deal? Acti loans Sony right to Crash, Sony developing Crash by Naughty Dog/SP / RaD/ Sony Japan / Bend or whoever you want and income is 50/50 for both sides. Impossible? Less than pay Acti mln $ for Crash IP I think.
20 th anniversary is coming and I have big hope for comeback Syphon Filter or Medievil. I think it's much more possible.

Why in the world would Sony waste one of their own studio's time on a game that they would only get 50% of the revenue from?

Here's the way I look at it...

You'd have new gamers buying it because Sony would market the shit out of it, casual market playing it because it's a family friendly platformer and people 25+ playing it because we miss it.
 
A megaton is not a thing that can satisfy everybody.

If Crash is back we will be millions playstation fans very happy, if you're not i'm sorry for you guys...

Not really. Enthusiasts would be excited about the novelty of Crash coming back to Sony, but the game itself wouldn't be a big deal. Unless it were significantly redesigned in some way. It's honestly really hard to imagine that not turning into a Sonic situation. Crash is only cool in the 90s.
And even then he was pretty dumb.

Just because Sony would "market the shit out of it" doesn't necessarily mean it'll sell as well though.
 
I never liked Crash, and cannot honestly see how it could be succesful once again unless they revisit it's game design philosophy.

But still, even if i don't like i'm sure it would make a lot of people happy, so it's more than welcome.

It's been suggested and debunked before.

Sony would have to invest alot of money in development, marketing, etc. just to make sure the game takes off. That's alot of work to put in, specially when you know Activision would just take advantage of the popularity Crash would gain by the hands of Sony, and drive it into the ground with uninspired sequels trying to milk what modicum of interest the IP gained.

So going by that, a new Crash game would be a physical release that would cost $60 a copy. I see that being too expensive for it.
Click to expand...
That's another reason it'd have to change. It has more inline with the value of free cell phone endless runners than it does to any $60 game released today.

It'd basically just be a new Jak game I imagine.

Would a lot of people really buy a new Shenmue or the Last Guardian even tough the previous titles were more like niche games?? Still announcing those games would be a megaton.

Crash was/is the best selling plattformer (more than LPB right?) in the history of playstation.

In our time and generation it wouldnt sell a ton of copies like the Ps1 titles.

But i bet, it would sell better than many another ps exclusives

Exactly. It's not like it has to be a AAA title with a AAA budget either.
 
Honestly i can't see it happening. They bring it back, it sells poorly and it's dead again... then history repeats. And i enjoyed Crash back in the day. Just like Twisted Metal on Ps3 was probably its nail in the coffin, which makes me cry because it was amazing,

Shenmue and Ico are regarded amongst the very 'core', it's different from Crash, which was the big selling game for everyone. It makes sense that the more dedicated fans are the ones more likely to still be gaming.

And TLG still won't sell well, but that's not the point. Crash coming back is a significant financial investment, and for what? The three minutes GAF is down?

Guys I'm just going to outright say that
its not Final Fantasy 7!
Atleast, that's not what I'm talking about.

Also, for those scared I'm going to say what it is blatantly IM NOT. <--- not part of hints lol

Crap,
I'm not supposed to tease anything else so I'm done doing that. I'll still post in here but just about stuff idk about! :)
Click to expand...
Edge, just flat out tell us that it's not Crash like you did by killing the hope of a Final Fantasy VII remake announcement. Just so we can carry on beyond this topic.
:P

we dont know anything yet or probably this never happens. But if Sony gets Crash back they will surely know what they are doing.


and i think a Crash Game would easily sell around 1 or 2 Million Copies. Maybe it wouldnt be profitable for Sony, but they could do so many things with that IP...
 
JuanLatino said:
Nevertheless if they dont plan anything with the franchise, its still better to sell it than do nothing

Im talking about the IF Scenario; So IF Activision doesnt plan with Crash anymore, i dont think they would demand a huge Offer from Sony.
Also Sony and Activision intensified their partnership over the last years. That could also be a key aspect


cancelling all of your Crash Projects and making statements like this



dont give me the feeling, that Acitivision has any plans with crash

Companies hoard IPs all the time because at some point something will come up where they can use it again. Don't think in the short term gains. This is a company that pens 10 year contracts.

Yup. Crash's heyday was TWENTY years ago. A lot of the people that made up the millions that bought it back then have grown up and probably aren't even into gaming anymore. It sucks to say it but it has about as much reverence and relevance in modern gaming as PacMan or Pitfall did for the PSone generation.

The problem with Twisted Metal is it came out too late. Gamer fatigue plus increased competition made it a tough sell in 2012.

PS4 is barely 1 years old. People want games that are exclusive and show off the hardware. This is a perfect opportunity for Crash, especially when you consider all other factors.

I can definitely see TLG selling at least 2-3 million copies (assuming it scores in the 90s). Shenmue maybe 1 mil. Crash I'm guessing would get around Ratchet numbers depending on quality (anywhere between 1-3 mil). Those are all just guesses of course.

But a remake though..

Is Crash a real possibility, or are we just dreaming?
Click to expand...

There's always a possibility and there have been plenty signs here and there over the years. Most people are either hopeful (like me), don't want Crash or are just trying to be realistic. Again, anything can happen,but just don't hold your breath.

To my knowledge there have not been significant signs. Just Crash being included in Sony nostalgia ads, that sort of thing.
 
Wow I just briefly read this thread and we have some crazy hopes and dreams. From Final Fantasy VII Remake to Crash Bandicoot revival to Capcom exclusive of popular IP like DMC5, RE7 or SFV to The Last Guardian. I'm gonna be realistic, I am only expecting more Indie announcements, Beyond Directors Cut, Ratchet and Uncharted 4 trailers as well as more on The Order and BloodBorne. If we get a revival it would probably be a small PSN game like Parappa The Rapper created by a Indie dev. Or perhaps PS1 and PS2 Classics. The best hope for a megaton in Guerilla Games New IP but that's about it.

A sign is a sign at the end of the day. I'm probably just being hopeful but I'd be all for a Crash Reboot/Remake.

Also, that signpost with Crash and the old Sony Entertainment symbol was in the PS4 launch trailer. That's a pretty big sign to me.
 
It nothing Im sure...its probably nothing.....naw cant be

Detective GAF working hard!
  • We know Sega is working on an RPG right? Some pictures got shown about a DRPG and SRPG.
  • Capcom has had Ryu is the Playstation video so we all know its gonna be SF related, I think we can all safely say its Ultra Street Fighter 4 (Ono has hinted that a new fighting game is being made with DIMPS, the original guys who Capcom got to make Street Fighter 4) since MadCatz also made a USF4 fightstick for PS3 AND PS4 while only making one version for Microsoft, the 360, no Xbox One.
  • Namco is gonna Namco so I have no idea what its going to be.
  • I don't even know who Lockstarter is and I don't know how LazyEye is activision. Warner Bros probably has something, they haven't hinted much since we know Arkham Knight and MKX are the two BIG games they have publicly announced to my knowledge.
  • Lastly, by Koei, does he mean that japanese company? Have no idea what they could be doing

Why do people continue to think that Sony has to own Crash to make a Crash game? EA doesn't own Star Wars.
Click to expand...

Let's ignore the fact that EA makes multiplatform games with that IP and Sony would not. Less money for the IP owner, and again it's been said before, why risk making an IP popular again if you don't control it?
 
Ono also said on Twitter they're not working on an Ultra Port. Maybe it's Alpha 4, i would take "Anime" Graphic over the 3D we got in SF4 all day.
 
FFVII remake and now Crash Bandicoot? Is Shenmue 3 next?

Don't know why people latch on to things that will probably never happen when there's plenty of realistic reveals (with evidence) that can actually happen.
