The lights are on
Fans of Crash Bandicoot have oft requested that the odd mascot make a triumphant return. Recently, rumors have surfaced that Activision sold off the IP to Sony. We asked the publisher in order to find out what's going on.
Recently, Activision scrubbed any mention of Crash Bandicoot from its site (as identified by redditor “cocobandicoot”). This led some to believe that the IP wasn't owned by the publisher any longer.
“Activision owns Crash Bandicoot and we continue to explore ways in which we could bring the beloved series back to life,” a representative told us. While this might not be as hopeful as if the IP had changed hands, it still does keep a glimmer of hope alive.
Our TakeWe know that many of our readers are fans of Crash. We're just as hopeful that he makes his triumphant return one day.
Someday... :(
just dont ruin it!!!!
Wow. The act like they're going to do something to revive Crash, and then they still leave him dead to keep fooling people.
They should just go back to their roots. The first 4 games was how it should be played. The one where enemies didn't kill you if you touched them (wrath of the titans or something) lost that magic touch.
I enjoyed playing crash bandicoot. I liked the earlier versions a lot more, and would like to see crash make a return
damn, I want that so bad
never liked crash as a mascot and as for the games? I never thought they were a big deal,i mean they were good but not worth all the fuss.
How about a game with his name on the box, but he's actually only loosely affiliated with, that they can sell alongside "action figures"?
Jesus, but if they bring him back it will be like what they did to poor Spyro. If they bring him back it will be in a way that will make it easy for them to exploit and milk to death.
How about give back the ip to Sony?
Ways Activision will bring back the series: Bandicoot Skylanders, or "Skycoots," or something. . . anything that involves $100 of figurines. . . ^_^
I want that so bad
I would love to see the Crash series return. I've been such a hug fan since I was a child.
Was really looking forward to seeing what Sony could do with the Crash Bandicoot series.
If Sony does turn out to own Crash, hopefully they can give the iconic marsupial a revamp worth enjoying. Crash Bandicoot was one of my very first PSOne games when I was a kid and I still enjoy his games, until the last two games they released. After those flub-ups, I was distraught to see the legacy end with a embarrassing conclusion. I still hold hope that they do his years of glory true justice, and maybe Naughty Dog can help with it.
Activision ruined Crash, just like they ruined Spyro.
Give it back to Sony you bastards!
