watch the show last night the whole thing was scripted Reggie looked like he was afraid to open his mouth.
question i would of asked : MR.FIL-AIMS have you heard CRASH BANDICOOT returning to Sony what will you do about it?? producing the same ol same ol mario,zelda,donky kong.

Theyellowflash304579d ago

Yet the same old Mario is reviewing better than the new Knack.

Maybe the same old Mario, isn't that, and you should actually try the game before making blanket statements.

Not only that, but so what IF sony gets the Crash IP back?

none of the crash games were better than Mario Galaxy. Sony has moved on from platformers. Did you see the reviews for Knack? That game is horrible.

Racther and Clank into the Nexus isn't that good either. Sony can't make Platformer like Nintendo

Retroman4579d ago (Edited 4579d ago )

really?? RATCHET AN CLANK way better than some plummer floating around in bunny suit.

@ yellowfish : dont get me wrong i love ALL MARIO games at the moment dont have wii-U to play any of those.be honest i rather play SUPER MARIO GALAXY than call of duty,battlefield,destiny,imfam ous second son ect.....

Theyellowflash304579d ago

LOL, we all know that's not true.

Mario Bros started the platforming genre

Super Mario Bros 3 perfected it

Super Mario 64 was the first of its kind

Super Mario Galaxy perfected it

Super Mario 3D World first 3D multiplayer mario game ever.

All of these games are looked at to be some of the best of all time.

Galaxy is the highest rated game of all time. Ratchet and clank is cool. But sorry, it doesn't hold a candle to Mario.

ThePsychoGamer4578d ago

Super Mario Galaxy was no where close to being as good as the masterpiece that was Rachet and Clank Futures A Crack in Time.

_QQ_4579d ago (Edited 4579d ago )

New crash game will suck ass if naughty dog isn'tmaking it, just like jak n daxter last frontier was ass.

The_Villager4579d ago

Is Nintendo supposed to be afraid of Crash Bandicoot? LOL

Weird & Forgotten Nintendo Exclusives Nobody Played

Their business practices aren’t perfect, but Nintendo makes games like nobody else. But they also have their fair share of games that nobody played.

Oh yeah it’s certainly a special one. I think Astro Bot 2 is gonna be a big one, the one for the books as they say.

I also hope Team Asobi expandes thanks to the massive success of Astro Bot and works on another IP, they are just too good.

porkChop500d ago

"I also hope Team Asobi expandes"

That's kind of a double edged sword for me. On one hand it would be good for Team Asobi. On the other, Sony shut down and laid off all the other devs at Japan Studio. It would just kind of piss me off that they shut down the rest of the studio only to now build it back up after screwing over those devs.

FinalFantasyFanatic499d ago

They probably should have kept Japan Studios, they could really use them now that they realised they need to revitalise some old IPs, or make something other than Live Service/GaaS.

IRetrouk499d ago (Edited 499d ago )

They recentered japan studio around asobi because some of the main staff left after sony wanted to increase their budgets to make bigger aaa games, I thought this was well known.

Cacabunga500d ago

They need to give us a PSVR2 version.. the first one is still glorious to this day on PSVR

danglyparts500d ago

I would agree. It stands toe to toe with Odyssey.

Good-Smurf500d ago

I think Astro Bot outdid Odyssey in terms of pace and level of interactivity immersion it gave.
I mean look at how many charming animations they make for each of the 300+ Astro Bots in the game scattered around at crash site home base, just the sight of that alone never fails to give you a huge smile and joy.
Astro Bot is also the first ever platform game I played that never made the post-game activity felt like a boring drawn out collect-a-thon challenge mode feel and was actually still as fun as main game to collect them and played them all throughout.
Even Odyssey felt like a collect-a-thon in post-game after credits rolled.

Doge499d ago

Agreed honestly. Odyssey’s mechanics/gameplay wise was the best Mario’s been. But the moon collecting became hella tedious down the line.

Smellsforfree499d ago

I'm fine with collect-a-thons so long as there is an actual platforming challenge to overcome in collecting the thing. Those are fun. I feel like Odyssey had such a mix of interesting to collect moons compared to just moons on the ground you grab -- they could have done a lot better.

Astro Bot and Odyssey both shine for different reasons. I agree with you on the interactivity immersion of Astro Bot -- but the skill wall of Mario's move set, for me, makes it a bit more interesting as a platformer and game to speed run through.

When you do something wonderful people will imitate it.

mkis007500d ago (Edited 500d ago )

Easier said than done. Plenty of imitators of successful games out there. It rarely stands on its own.

neutralgamer1992500d ago

That's not easy though. If you remember during 360 days mahy tried copying halo and especially gears of war and came up short

8bitAssassin500d ago

The best game that did anything remotely close to Gears, was the incredible game Binary Domain.

neutralgamer1992499d ago

And not enough people played it. Such a great game

Armaggedon500d ago

The imitators normally fail.

GotGame818499d ago

It's true! Sony literally took the very best of what Nintendo did and put their own take on it. I have acknowledged that, but Sony fans act like Sony came up with it all on their own. It's hilarious! I'm going to get a bunch of down votes for being honest. Astro Bot, is AMAZING, but come on now! Hey, I don't care, Astrobot is a fantastic game, and I replay it, because it's fun.

-Foxtrot499d ago (Edited 499d ago )

Yeah, just like how Nintendo saw the Outfoxies and were inspired to do Smash Bros...

OH WAIT...if we go by your logic then Nintendo just copied them, right?

There was even a couple of kart racing games out before Mario Kart, I know you may like to believe different but even Nintendo found inspiration or weren’t the first to do something, they just put their spin on it and did it better.
