>At the end of the credits there's no mention of Activision even though Crash Bandicoot is referenced in the game with an Easter Egg, which is strong evidence to suggest that Sony have purchased the IP back from the publisher. Why is it strong evidence do you ask? Because The Art of Naughty Dog Book that released back in 2014 listed a trademark for Activision, and if it still owned the IP then surely Sony / Naughty Dog would have to list them again in the credits at the end of Uncharted 4: A Thief's End due to the references it makes to Crash Bandicoot.

What do you personally want to see in a PS4 Crash Bandicoot? What does it need to be good?

you're just going to get Crash in PSAS2 and you're going to like it

>What does it need to be good?

Completely different game mechanics, graphical style, and characters

never forgetti

just fucking make a good looking, huge crash game like the games of old. Less gimmicky stages than in Crash 3, though.

This is all they have to do. Use the classic crash design, make a huge classic crash game, and refamiliarize gamers with the idea of running and jumping and spinning to the end, getting collectables along the way


but no, it'll be some modern schlock with multiplayer focus

>What do you personally want to see in a PS4 Crash Bandicoot? What does it need to be good?

The same as the originals.

I seriously don't know what else they could do with it. Platforming wise 2 and 3 were perfect.

Well after the reboot of Ratchet and Clank it made me a bit more optimistic about older series getting rebooted.
I feel like a game like Crash wouldn't translate too well on modern systems though. It was fun as a kid, but a bit simplistic.
I can't really say what they would need to make it more appealing to a modern audience since nostalgia fags aren't really a big enough audience to target.

You do realize that by voice actor of Dr. Cortex, they actually mean the one from Twinsanity, right? Because that's not the original VA. That would be Brendan O'Brien or, during 1997-2003, Clancy Brown.

Kids are too casual these days to enjoy a challenging platformer. This is why Knack bombed.

>Crash game by neo Naughty Dog
>Crash in now voiced by Troy Baker
>Comments on every little thing he does
>no more idle animations
>open world design
>probably gets a gun
>soundtrack is generic movie orchestral
yeah, nah

Maybe different gameplay than the latest games but if it were to go back to the first two/three/four games (IMO 3 is where it started going to shit), it'd be cash as fuck.

How is it going to look? R&C16 looked good because it didn't look cartoony in the first place. Realism would not work for Crash.

>Turning your Crash thread into an opportunity to shitpost like a console war kiddie

I love Star Fox Zero and I would also be excited at the prospect of a new Crash game that makes a return to formula. Fuck you.

But Crash already had a gun.

>What does it need to be good?
Be like the original 3. Any kind of shitty open world and all kinds of retarded gimmicks and "hip cool Crash" will ruin it.

>Kids are too casual these days to enjoy a challenging platformer.
Crash was never challenging outside of the first one and beating Velo's ghosts in CNK.

An open world crash sounds pretty good actually.

>Platformer
>Knack

Pick one.

get out

NO

Why? Bigger levels would be better for crash which has always had a linear path.

Ratchet and Clank remake happened. Why not Crash? I mean, aside from the fact people actually enjoy trappings like leveling progression and shit while original Crash trilogy are actually really simple games at heart.

>Remasters, remakes, hd collections, and reboots
This gen is trash

Jak and Daxter was essentially a Open World Crash, what's your problem with this?

Yeah, it definitely wasn't because of it trying to become a modern day Crash Bandicoot game while impinging CINEMATICS and a serious story while completely failing at it.

That's what it was, it was too challenging! Kids are just fucking casuals these days! Fucking hipsters, frolicking around as if they know what quality games are!

They are going to fuck it up
There will be a dumb redesign and the style will be way off

These kids barely even knew about the system since they were subjected about was at most the Gamecube/PS2/Dreamcast generation. Games were already pretty casual back then and very few had the difficulty the NES had back then, bar limited hardware.

WE grew up with these consoles, but that doesn't mean all kids know about them unless their parents bring up discussion about them.

And the most a kid or a teenager would learn about the older consoles is if they were actual teens that devoted to playing games and went through the trouble of finding out what on earth their parents were playing with back then.

I'd rather Naughty Dog reboot Jak and make a real sequel to the Precursor Legacy then.

>BUT IT WAS NEVER GOOD" meme
It really wasn't, even during his time Crash was nothing compared to his contemporaries. Celebrating Crash coming back is like going mental over a Knack sequel

We are just interested in making a Sony cinematic universe following Marvel's and Star Wars' example, that's our main focus, the games are just movie tie-ins
I'm sorry you had to learn it this way sonyfags

You don't know anything about the subject at hand, go read on which developers made which crash games.

Lex Lang is the good VA though. What's the matter?

Fuck off Clancyfag.

>yfw its actually an Avengers game cause he also voiced Doctor Doom from the Avengers cartoon.

Gaf leakers said it was gonna be multiplat but never specified a platform.

....maybe Sony WILL make one more game for the vita

>Platforming wise 2 and 3 were perfect.
They still were limited by narrow corridors and fixed camera angles. Also, as much as I liked them, Naughty Dog is a much different company now.
They'll probably ruin it with a story and moviegame garbage.

Even back in the day Spyro was still the better franchise based on 3D environments alone.

Only on Platstation 4 and Vaio tablets!

>Platforming wise 2 and 3 were perfect.
What do you mean by this? I need to know because Crash was an incredibly shallow platformer with very little platforming, mostly just walking forward and jumping when prompted by a visual cue (eg. hole in the ground/enemy)

>umping when prompted by a visual cue (eg. hole in the ground/enemy)
>Implying 90% of platformers aren't like this.

CRASH
IS
BACK
IN
Playstation All Stars 2

BOTTOM LINE: are any original members of Crash ND team still at the company?
no? It'll be garbage with 10 minute cinematic and a fucking unlockable skill tree, and dont forget the DLC

It's starting to feel like when Conker was back and it was only some ad for project whatever that never took off. They even got the original voice for nothing.
Nothing.

>he doesn't think Crash Bash was the best game in this franchise

shit taste desu

It means there's also the slight possibility of Crash Twinsanity 2, a Crash game akin to COTT/MOM or just a Playstation All Stars 2 playable character with his MOM design.

I like crash bash a lot
I played the crate one and the polar one for over a 100 hours with friends im sure

spyro sucks ass.

It would have to play nothing like crash. The good crash games were corridors. Id say it would have to be more like Jak and Daxter 1

tell me Sup Forums, what does he say again?

Id also like to see a new crash play more like jak/mario 64
With some corridor segments

But i dont want them to change how crash looks or acts

Make the plot be Crash taking Tawna back from Pinstripe please.

OOGA BOOGA BOOGA

MOON TAIGA

No proof, grasping at straws. You people flip out over too little. A new Crash game is a distant dream.

Because they're really simple games and no one would fork $40-$60 for a remake of 1 Crash game, no matter how pretty it looks.

Maybe if it were a remake of all 3 games in one package

Awesome but Uncharted is Sony's platformer, how will this game fit? And what other themes are there to explore ? How can crash 3 be trumped?

>not Clancy Brown

woo-da-gah

He just phones in whatever shit he does these days desu

The twin sanity one was amazing and funny.

>Uncharted is Sony's platformer
r u retarded m8?

>yfw they make Crash Bash 2 and sell it back to Activision

Don't insult my husbando you fuck.

I am also pissed they did not get clancy, shows a lack of care for the IP
I bet they give crash those fucking metal knee plates like his redesign

you are missing the point

>I feel like a game like Crash wouldn't translate too well on modern systems though. It was fun as a kid, but a bit simplistic.
Look at how well received Rayman Origins and Legends were, Crash basically had the same gameplay, just with a behind the character perspective

A new Crash is probably going to expose how mediocre this franchise always was.

Personally, I look forward to seeing neogaf and neoga/v/ burn when it finally releases

It is a platformer you stupidnshit you are.jumpimg from.platform to platform. Fucking Mexican.
The point that he's funny and perfectly fits the role ? Yea I'm completely missing it

Knack wasnt a platformer, it was a bet em up

As someone who grew up with a PS1 and later migrated to PC, I'm actually super happy about this news despite having no intentions of ever buying a PS4 or playing this game.

3 > Twinsanity > 2 > Wrath of Cortex > 1

no

>playing any crash past CTR

found the jealous nintendrone

knack was a shit game
I hope mark cerney doesn't head this new crash game

Uncharted is a 3rd person shooter. just because a shooting game let you jump doesnt mean its a platformer

Crash is trash dude, not even that guy

>The tutorial stage before turning into big Knack had some fun obstacle courses and platforming
>Oh man, if the rest of the game is this good then I'm going to have fun
>The rest of the game is a shallow beat'em up
>All of the platforming was done in that tutorial stage.

>3 > Twinsanity > 2
Never fucking reply to me again unless you're contributing to the thread.

Are you fucking high??

its 2>3>1>Twinsanity >>>>WoC>>>>>>>>>Mutant games

CTR>Crash Bash>Nitro Kart>>>>>>>>>>>>Crash Boom Bang

Bash and Twinsanity were pretty good though

I want croc to come back

all Beat'em Ups are shallow

>3 better than 1

C'mon now.

But will there be Tawna?

Sony wins again.

Piss off

3 is 2 with extra stuff in it, most dont like the gimmick levels, but i didnt mind them.

Why do people hate the Wumpa Bazooka?

>Yfw Crash Bash HD with online multiplayer

how about you piss off, they are all the fucking ame, you walk for a bit, the screen stops you fight a wave of guys, then you walk some more, they are all the fucking same

that's every platformer ever you fucking idiot

i think they dont like the under water levels, motorcycle levels, and the plane levels

WHO-NA-MA-GA

The amount of praise twinsanity gets here really bugs me
Its not a bad game but its certainly not a good game either. Im convinces all the twinsanity fans are just younger and maybe never even played the ps1 games

Why can't I play the PS1 trilogy and CTR on my Vita? Come on Sony.

I can. Sony hates Ameriniggers.

I understand that.

But why do people hate the wumpa bazooka?

erm, friend, it's oo-gada

Because if you were expecting a fun 5th power up you were disappointed.

>What does it need to be good?
It needs to be made by the original developers, some of whom are now working for Nintendo under Retro. It'll probably be shit, in the vein of Knack, instead of the god-tier original trilogy. It'll flop, and Crash will be dead forever.

Made it took easy I guess? Also it slowed the game down a fair bit.

I liked it though.

>new Crash released (Cr4sh)
>there's a 30 min cutscene after you press start
>there's a 30 min tutorial level
>after finishing the tutorial achievements start popping up
>you get to the main location and realize its an open world game

>there's an upgrade system with apples
