The Crash developed by Toys for Bob that was cancelled was a crossover with Spyro, in which both were going to be playable characters.

The game was cancelled because they didn't consider “Crash 4” a success, despite having sold +5 million...

We already had a crash & spyro crossover

Hence why we can’t have nice things.

Crystal Dynamics/Square-Enix levels of overinflated expectations if 5m+ is insufficient

It sold half of the trilogy remake.

Thanks, Phil

Its such a shame we live in an age where 5mil sales isnt seen as enough to warrant a sequel.
This isnt the first time this has happened though, and it sure wont be the last.

I would have preferred just a Spyro “4” by itself, but this still could have been a lot of fun. *sigh*

 

[Cert.in.Death]

It sold half of the trilogy remake.

Right. And it was both excellent and profitable.

I blame the MS deal.

 

[Salz01]

I really liked Crash 4. Thought they nailed it. Wish they would do more of it.

 

[Heart_Attack]

Dammit. That sounds dope. Fuck Microsoft

 

[Unknown?]

Nothing of value lost. Crash 4 wasn't as good as the originals and Toys for Bob only did the Spyro remakes.

 

[64bitmodels]

Crash 4 wasn't as good as the originals

Just curious- why do you think that?

 

[Robb]

Toys for Bob getting some funding to actually make more Crash and Spyro games was probably what I was most looking forward to post the ActiBlizz acquisition..

Should’ve known it sounded too good to actually happen. Such a disappointment.

 

[Fahdis]

The only thing that was lost is the dignity of Crash and Spyro fans.

I guess they rather not bother with something so far away from COD numbers.

 

[Roronoa Zoro]

Crash 4 was the most disappointing game I think I've ever experienced. Such frustration. Crash 3 is one of my favorite games ever

Happy this didn't happen

 

[Embearded]

Wait, Crash 4 sold 5m+ and it wasn't considered a success?
How much did it cost to make??
