Speaking to videogaming247 at the Sierra Spring Break 08 in Mallorca last week, Crash Bandicoot: Mind Over Mutant producer Kirsten Forbes said that Wii will be the lead SKU on this, the fifteenth title in the platforming franchise.
"So we decided to lead on the Wii SKU this year," she said, confirming vg247 weren't actually lying to you when we wrote this story's headline.
"Developers normally lead with the lowest common denominator piece of technology, and so although we're doing PS2 and the Wii and the 360 and the PSP and DS versions of the game, we led with the Wii from a graphics point of view."
VG247 then asked her if there was going to be a PS3 version, to which she replied, "No".
However by this time vg247 were intoxicated on free beer and too much sun and didn't get to ask why. Watch this space on that one.
Lex: How about let’s take a trip back to memory lane and see what were the best main Crash games.
Crash 3 Warped, and 2 are my favs for the main games
Crash Team Racing is amazing and Crash Bash is fun
Twinsanity And Ctr are my favorites (And still playing CTR from time to time). Not the biggest fan of the first 3 games,. Not that they are bad, But I rather play something like rayman legends or mario. They often have better precision to the platforming, and 60 fps has a lot to do with it. Also easier to get a sense of speed with those games while crash is a bit limited with his abilites.
Missed heaps of games including Crash Purple on GBA, Racing titles, Crash Bash and Crash Boom Bang on DS
2014 has seen renewed requests from gamers to bring back the once loved platforming icon, Crash Bandicoot, and A Pixelated View wants to find out why.
Last good game for me was Twinsanity
The music and gameplay was fantastic...plus Cortex in that game was hilarious
"It's true...blondes do have more fun"
The last "good" game was The Wrath of Cortex, but tbh, Crash died as soon as Naughty Dog stopped developing Crash games.
I agree to -Foxtrot and tigertron
I think PlayStation Allstars brought a deluge of awareness to an already known fact that the industry is at a certain kind of loss without (good) Crash games.
Thank you Activision for the F**kery.
last good and a real swan song to the series was Crash Team Racing developed by ND and crushing Mario (the best cart IP)with ease ..filled with nostalgia of the former games and having the quality to surpass any battle cart race game
For me crash never fell, I only played crash the ones naughty made, when other took the franchise it wasnt the same anymore.
These are the only Crash games that I've ever played and I plan on keeping it that way to keep my good memories of him.
Crash
Crash 2
Crash 3
Crash Team Racing
Crash Bash
Crash Nitro Kart
Crash The Wrath of Cortex
negativo, vivenda own crash before fusing with activision and they had a contract with PlayStation and NaughtyDog for 4 games, after that they did some games for crash then they fused with activision which he later pass away shortly when he heard he had to work with nintendo too. Then activision made a clone of crash with his dna and then the franchise died but rumors PlayStation bought him back and are riving the original crash by using Mass Effect 2 technology.
GamesAsylum rounds up the best deals on the Xbox 'Games on Demand' service
Oh dear these prices are awful, and that on offer?
Steam has the right idea when it comes to sales, these are old games
They aren't on offer. These are the usual prices which are vastly cheaper than buying these games at retail.
If you can find a copy of Tales of Vesperia for less than £20 or Bully for less than £12 then please enlighten the rest of us.
I got Tales of Vesperia for £18 from Zavvi about 3 months ago. It's gone back up to £22 - £25 but I'm sure it'll be back down again. You can often get 10% off vouchers from Zavvi too.
That way they can only go up with the other systems!
GREAT!
so the PS2 will be getting Wii port and not the other way around.
Thats Better, Developers should do the same.
This would be great news, if this entire series hadn't hit the wall, like, 10 years ago.
Oh, so that's why Xbox 360 has been the lead for the most time, gimping games like GTAIV.
If they lead on Wii then it will have to be dumbed down for PS2. PS2 is as powerful when compared to the Wii as the Wii is when compared to the 360 and PS3.
