Like all former icons he'll go behind a dumpster and service Grimace or Harvey Weinstein for narcotics until an early death from an overdose.

Or he could end up as a back-up dancer for Brittney Spears, either way it'll be bleak and horrifying ….

To Jak and Daxter? I kid but man I miss that precursor place.

thatguyhayat2509d ago

Yeaaaah that's owned by Sony not Activision.

bujasem_892509d ago

What was that bandicoot against mario thing with the ps1? I though over time they lost the rights to the title and Activision picked it up. Wasn't ND always Sony 1st party?

TheUndertaker852509d ago (Edited 2509d ago )

Sony never owned rights to Crash Bandicoot. Naughty Dog did not either. Universal Interactive Studios had rights to both Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon. From there Vivendi acquired rights from Universal then Activision gained rights from Vivendi.

Naughty Dog started off as a Universal Interactive Studios backlot studio. Crash Bandicoot was created even before the release of the PSOne with a name of “Willie the Wombat”.

They have rereleased the HD version already...it wasn't great

bujasem_892509d ago

If my child memory serves right, it was awesome.

AnubisG2509d ago

Hopefully with a brand new Crash Bandicoot game made the traditional way.

UltraNova2509d ago

Activision wants to have a word with you...

DaDrunkenJester2509d ago

Garbage bin? I kid, but honestly, outside of the remakes for the nostalgia I cant imagine a new entry being all that great.

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.

Limitedtimestruggle1352d ago

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

Dfooster1352d ago

Yeah that is a good choice. Great times

Snakeeater251352d ago

Lol Nintendo 64 … talk about a shitty year for gaming

Old McGroin1351d ago

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

CobraKai1351d ago

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

Terry_B1351d 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.

CobraKai1351d 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?

BrainSyphoned1352d ago (Edited 1352d 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.

Marcello1352d 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.

Limitedtimestruggle1351d ago

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

Marcello1351d ago

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