Topic: Crash Bandicoot Discussion

I always really liked Crash. Like what I played of the PS1 games, and the 2 GBA games I owned were probably better than they should have been considering how much the post-3 games are considering a complete joke (same with Spyro). I'd love a decent reboot of Crash, especially considering how bad the last few years have been for 3D platformers.

I used to have Crash when I was little and had a PS2.Really,I want to worry more about bringing stuff like Rayman back.

...but Rayman is already back...

I prefer Mario Kart actually, but CTR is still very good

Hmm, you do bring up two very interesting points. 1.) It would seem pointless to bring Crash Bandicoot into Skylanders this late. Seeing is how Skylanders is already a success on it's own. 2.) You mention something about them having the choice to pick between Crash or Spyro. So what if that poster is just leftover concept art of what Crash would have looked liked if they had picked him instead? Anyways i don't know if Activision would bring back Crash in his own title seeing as how much Crash fans hate the series now....But if they hate the series can they even be called Crash fans anymore? Also how come you hate Cynder.?

@Chobi You do bring up a good point about that it may be leftover art, but I don't think it would be left in Vicarious' studios. With Skylanders, they only developed the 3DS version of Spyro's Adventure and the iOS and Android games, as well as buffing Giants to be ported onto the Wii U. I don't believe they made any of the actual characters besides those appearing in the ones they did from scratch. Assuming that they were invited into it after Spyro was decided, it would be strange to have that hanging up... I think it's more feasible if they were invited before then, though.
And it's the same thing with Spyro, which worries me. Spyro's fanbase was utterly divided between the Classic and Legend fans with a small batch of people that liked or were at least optimistic about both, which ultimately is probably why he got revived as a Skylander(and there was massive backlash from how he looked, which seems to be happening a bit with the new Crash model). It seems less intense in the Crash base, from what I've seen, but it's still not good... And I wouldn't be surprised if Toys For Bob are actually developing (or have developed) Crash The Skylander because of that... I'd actually not be surprised at all if, even if they got a new game made by Naughty Dog, they would still complain.

And I just plain don't like Cynder. I never use her in Dawn of The Dragon unless she's mandatory, because I think she plays similar to Spyro, and she was just wasted potential in character. I rarely use her in Skylanders, because I don't really like her gameplay there. I do like her corrupted form from A New Beginning, though, she was pretty cool there.

... Despite all the rave, for all we know, this could always end up being just a mobile game.

By the way, I forgot to report this, but a while ago- since 2011, I believe- Vicarious were working on three projects: Project Nova for the 360, PS3 and Wii U, Project Atlantis for the 360 and PS3, and Project Phoenix for the 360, PS3 and Wii. I'll dig up the cititation later(I think it was on the Gameinformer site), but if a new Crash game were one of these it would only be good. It'd mean a wider audience and potentially more cash for sequels.

@Nibelilt

Good gravy you're well informed with your army of Spyro plushies. I see what you mean about the divided fan base. The same thing happened to the Resident Evil series. You were playing dawn of the dragon as a single player? I played it co-op and i was Cynder (Not by choice mind you) But i thought her powers were actually pretty cool. Also Wayne Brady was in that game which makes it like 50 times cooler. I guess we will just have to wait until something is officially announced or not. Depending on Activison.

in the meantime, lets have a mini unofficial poll. Which was better?

Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back

Crash Bandicoot 3: WARPED!

Warped, in my opinion. Ever so slightly- I felt the vehicle levels did a good job in breaking things up a bit and CSB just didn't have anything like that... Plus, RELICS!

I apologise for the double post, but there's news. It's not directly relevant to Crash, though- some new Skylanders domain names have been registered and none of them sound like they'll feature Crash. Of course, they could pull anything.
There's also going to be a Skylanders event in NY on the 5th and Toy Fair is a few days away, nope, this has no relation whatsoever. [/sarcasm]

(Yeah, I'm just totally trying to bring this thread up again, because I'm in love with Warped and more people need to know about Crash. )
