Does everyone actually want Crash or has this turned into another Last Guardian thing?

If Crash returns, I may cry. Many gamers were waiting FF VII remake and Snemue 3 for years and I'm sure they will be great (I want to play them, too), but one of my favorite childhood parts was Crash.
Bring it on.
Bring it on.
Man I miss Tretton, he was really relaxing to listen to during the E3 keynotes.
I would take Crash 1-3 ROM dumps for the PS4 in a heartbeat
Any "remastering" on the original stuff would be gravy!
A "remake" similar to what happened with Ratchet & Clank would be amazing, the R&C game looks outstanding and if they did that with the Crash levels... *drools*

What does this even mean?
Would be ridiculous and wonderful if true. The nightmare can finally be over and Crash can look "normal" again instead of a tattoo'd, Sonic'd abomination.
The only real bummer is that his buddy Spyro got trapped into the Skylanders shindig and will never get the chance to be free in quite the same way. Must feel even worse over at Insomniac knowing its just flat out hopeless ;_;
Uh, yeah. Crash 2 is still one of the absolute best platformers out there.
Not to fill any fanboys with rage, but the Mario 3D Land + World games feel like the natural result of what a modern Crash game might look like, since they're basically the same style of platforming.

That tired dumb argument that people don't actually want something, because THAT PERSON doesn't want it, so it must be some 'elaborate meme xD' that they're not in on.

Has he ever voiced any other doctors?
Doctor Doom but this sounds like a tease for Cortex.

But Activision still owns him, right? Nobody wants that.

The publisher matters too. If Sony have bought the IP or licensed it out for a long time I'll have a lot more faith than if it's Activision doing it. Sony still make high quality platformers, while Activision do most things which aren't FPSs as cheaply as possible.
The ideal scenario would be someone like Sanzaru developing it under Sony's guidance, perhaps with Naughty Dog or SSM acting in a producer role.

Can't wait for crash in PSVR - you hit spin and your brain immediately explodes.

Naughty Dog just can't make cartoonish games now. They would destroy Crash, don't touch it Naughty Dog

If he's NOT back its going to a huge disappointment at this stage.
Way too many hints.
That's when Uncharted 4 hits shelves.

I think ND should reboot the series by making a small team and Please don't be its just co-deal instead of owning the IP.

It hits shelves on a Tuesday though. I guess he's referring to the
playable level in UC4.

This rules out:
-Remake of Crash 1 through CNK
-Non-new games
So it can be a:
-Sequel
-Reboot
-Remake of Crash Twinsanity through Mind over Mutant
Search your feelings, you know who's the better one.

Wagering for a reboot/reimagining.

Of course Sony has set the greenlight on a new, AAA-budget Crash game. Look how many copies Knack sold. Look how successful PS4 Ratchet was despite being low-key. There is a big market for these types of games out there. Tbh I don't know why a big platformer hasn't come sooner.
Sorry, but that smiley face seems suspicious.

I know I'm just frustrated, spill the beans! XD
Ps: also looking through the thread, so many people saying what's the point?
Well from my perspective 2 things
1) 3D platformers are like survival horror, space sims or PnC adventure games, they just stopped getting made with no real reason why.. They just stopped, and there is this impression that they're sales poison which is constantly misproven by the success in the indie space who will take the risks big publishers won't.
2) if we've seen nothing else from last e3 and even in the last few years in Hollywood, nostalgia sells really well. I'm confident a new crash game would be huge. The same people who blew their minds over FF7 remake that played the original as a child is very likely to also lose their shit if crash comes back

I don't think current Naughty Dog are right at all for the job. They've moved past making cartoonish platformers and there was talk that if they got Crash again, they'd have to make it "deeper" with a story and the like. They nearly created a Jak game that looks like this, after all.
