Crash Bandicoot Overdue for Return to Consoles

"When Andrew House was asked about the subject, it sounded as if Sony was talking about a possibility. However, the possibility did not sound definitive. The early Crash Bandicoot games were classics for the PlayStation console. The games developed by Naughty Dog were among my personal favorites, and in my opinion the best in the series." | Explosion.com

We need to see the return of Crash Bandicoot

Abash3556d ago (Edited 3556d ago )

I feel a new MediEvil is also long overdue, and Sony still holds the rights to the series unlike Crash. Honestly the PS4 is the ideal console to bring back some of their most beloved PSOne series.

scark923556d ago

Yeah defo! I only had MediEvil 1 but it was great!

Relientk773556d ago

They really need to bring back these PS1 classics for PS4

Kavorklestein3556d ago

I concur. I also really liked Tomba! and Ape Escape, Dino Crisis, and Jet Moto.

@Kavorklestein

Ah, it warms my heart to know that people still remember Tomba! That game was awesome! :D (didn't like the second so much though)

Sony has a buttload of great IP's from the past that they could bring back on the PS4

- (buy back) crash Bandicoot
- (buy back) Spyro the Dragon
- Parapa the Rapper
- Tomba
- WipeOut (k, not that overdue, but I want a ps4 version :p)
- MediEvil
- Gex
- Twisted Metal
- Suikoden
- Ape escape

i still don't understand how there isn't a PS1 emulator on the PS4. even my outdated cellphone has a PS1 emulator which plays almost every PS1 game.

Kavorklestein3556d ago (Edited 3556d ago )

Well duh! Haven't you figured this out yet? They want you to pay 2.99 for 4 hours with PS Now, they aren't just gonna give you an emulator, they don't CARE if you own the old discs, they wanna STREAM you games you have already played and beaten 10 times for: an "adventure time in an extortionist's dreamland" prices

Emanno3556d ago (Edited 3556d ago )

Crash for PS Vita. I want my childhood back.

BiggerBoss3556d ago

I've been saying this for forever. Vita sales could potentially explode with some good Crash platformers and kart racers

GdaTyler3556d ago (Edited 3556d ago )

The only problem with that is...Sony doesn't care about Vita. They would likely just put it on PS4. I love my Vita though, but I hope it gets more love at Gamescom and TGS. :(

BiggerBoss3556d ago

If and when a new Crash is made, it needs to have the same essential gameplay as the original naughty dog games (boxes, wumpa fruit, mini games). I played this one game on ps2 (crash of titans I think?) and it was just terrible

scark923556d ago

I remember Crash Twinsanity being pretty ok, but I spose that was not ND.. leave it to Naughty Dog to make a good one onwards hopefully, hope they get the rights back!

BiggerBoss3556d ago

I never played twinsanity, but everyone I've seen mention it says it was pretty good

Deadpoolio3556d ago

Twinsanity was made by Travler's Tale...I believe Crash Team Racing was the last game Naughty dog worked on before leaving Universal interactive

1996 Voted as ‘Best Year in Gaming’ by UK Public

Have you ever wondered what the best year in gaming was? Well wonder no more! The British public have had their say, and voted for 1996.

Limitedtimestruggle593d ago

I have some many fond memories as a 10 year old gamer from back then! The best of times!

Dfooster592d ago

Yeah that is a good choice. Great times

Snakeeater25592d ago

Lol Nintendo 64 … talk about a shitty year for gaming

Old McGroin592d ago

The N64 was amazing at the time, how old are you, 12?

CobraKai592d ago

Mario 64, Mario Kart, WaveRace. They’re prolly too young to appreciate em. My kids love the N64.

Terry_B592d ago

No..1996 was not a good start for the N64. The system had a lousy start in comparison to the SNES, Playstation and probably even the Sega Saturn.

CobraKai592d ago

So…. Nevermind the first time Resident Evil or Tomb Raider was released, a damn near arcade perfect port of Tekken 2, Quake, Wipeout, Crash Bandicoot, Super Mario RPG, Nights, Panzer Dragoon Zwei? It’s shitty cuz the old N64 is it?

BrainSyphoned592d ago (Edited 592d ago )

More of a 97 person myself.
FF7, Symphony of the Night, Gran Turismo, Grand Theft Auto, Dynasty Warriors, Diablo, Fallout, Tomb Raider 2, Mega Man Legends, GoldenEye, Turok, Wing Commander Prophecy, Star Fox 64, Einhander, Tobal 2, Bushido Blade, Colony Wars, Ultima Online. Was a great year to start working at Funcoland.

You beat me to it. I loved both years, but 97 was one of my favorite years ever.

Marcello592d ago

2013 was a good year too. Dead Space 3, The Last of Us, GTA5, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, Tomb Raider reboot, Bioshock Infinite, Batman: Arkham Origins, Splinter Cell: Blacklist, Grid 2 & more.

Limitedtimestruggle592d ago

Dead Space 3? That game only deserves to be on rock-bottom lists. In my honest opinion.

Marcello591d ago

Its is very Marmite that game but to me it was only that love story nonsense that was bad, really bad.
