Renegade Kid made a Crash Bandicoot DS demo, called Crash Landed, for Activision sometime around 2008 or 2009, according to a video from an anonymous source close to Activision.

Its dead unless Naughty dog and Sony decide to buy the IP. I doubt any studio besides them can do the franchise justice.

I'm not saying I wouldn't want them to do another Crash game since ND are the only ones that can do it right BUT Travellers Tales did a pretty good job in Crash Twinsanity...as a kid I found it hilarious, especially Cortex's lines....when he was dressed up as Coco at the start haha

aPerson4152d ago

As a kid, I wasn't even aware that Twinsanity was developed by a different studio. I loved that game. It's a pity Traveler's Tales were forced to release the game early... So much planned content was left out. :(

Really impressed with what RK was able to develop using NDS hardware.

SilentNegotiator4152d ago

Meh. Super Mario 64 DS was more impressive if you ask me.

His face scares me and he runs like he's just **** his pants.

ND are the only devs that made Crash amazing.

-Gespenst-4152d ago

He looks like Trash Bandicoot, and his run's all weird.

Still, that could have been awesome. Looked more or less like a classic Crash game with a free roamy sort of thing going on.

Slightly peeved that they literally just used the exact same menu music (like an mp3 ripped from the original game or something), but I suppose they might've messed it up if they'd tried to change it.

May I remind you it's just a demo, not an actual game. Characters look different in demonstrations than the final product due to limitations in spending. This gameplay video is just a concept.

Crash is pretty much the number 1 franchise I want Sony to buy. Spyro (which is never gonna happen after Skylanders) comes close.

chrispseuphoria4152d ago

Well Spyro's name isn't even on Skylanders anymore (It's just called Skylanders Giants) so I don't think Activision would mind selling him now.

360ICE4152d ago

Well, it was called Skylander's Spyro's Adventure. Aaaaand he is still a Skylander now.

Another L for Xbox, when are they going to have good news?

MrDead14d ago

I would read the article but the giant pop-ups from the top and bottom of the screen made me close it.

Without reading $23.4 million isn't a deterrent for a company that size.

Boss: Let's fire a few people to recoup on that loss.
Slave: Cortana has decided to get rid of Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks.
Boss: Let's get those Firing Letters "Copilot Approved" and send them through the power of the cloud.
Slave: Long Live Phil !!!
ALL in the room: LONG LIVE PHIL !!!!

Well another troll company with a patent trying to extort money out of companies. Seems like they’re going to try and sue everyone.

PRIMORDUS14d ago
