Klipz-Wish5524d ago

I don't think they own the rights to it anymore

Who does? Is it Activision who own it at the moment?

Cajun Chicken5524d ago

Yes. It's Activision, so I don't expect them to take this laying back...

For anyone wondering about the licensing for Crash, you should read the making of crash blog, http://all-things-andy-gavi...

And to anyone saying it should be rebooted, please don't, just look at the new Spyro game to see why Crash should just rest for now.

haha wow i too miss the Crash Bandicoot games,they were alot of fun. too bad there is like no way to find those games anymore lol.

TheLastGuardian5523d ago (Edited 5523d ago )

I bought them 2 years ago on PSN then again on disc last year. I've boughten some of the original Crash games 3 times.

Most PS1 games aren't that hard to find. You just have to look passed the BS retailers like Gamestop. Locally owned gameshops and Ebay are your friend.

HolyOrangeCows5524d ago

Activision isn't done abusing Crash, I assure you.

If Crash ran faster than 1/2 a mile per hour, this mod would be amazing.

Reibooi5524d ago

Yeah it looks incredible but it also looks sluggish slow and clunky.

Watching it really makes me miss the first 3 Crash games. They were so much fun. Everything that came after those games was just a waste of a good series.

Da_Evil_Monkey5524d ago

You watch the next CoD will be "Call of Duty: Crash ops"

I wish Naughty Dog hadn't given up the rights to the franchise, a PS3 Crash Bandicoot game by them would be epic.

TheLastGuardian5523d ago

@Reibooi

Crash Team Racing was just as fun as Crash 1-3. I grew up playing ND's Crash Bandicoot.

ReservoirDog3165523d ago

Haha, someone should forward this to ND. I think they'd enjoy seeing it.

likedamaster5523d ago

Looks good but doesn't look fun at all.

TheLastGuardian5523d ago

Meh. Crash graphics looked so much better on PS1. Where's the Crash Bandicoot art style?

This could be the greatest PC mod ever.

NBT915524d ago

Yeah. I still have not got around to playing Crysis 2 yet, but I still can see that this is looking very well made for a mod.

My main hope though is that Acti will see it and realise the potential reviving Crash Bandicoot would have, if done right.
Personally I think a remake of the third Game with modern day graphics would be a safe bet.

TheLastGuardian20105524d ago

Out of all the franchises that NEED rebooting, this is probably THE game that, SERIOUSLY, NEEDS a reboot.

The Crash Bandicoot series is a classic. Nearly every game was good, including the awesome crash team racing. After the ps1 days though, the franchise just fell to the way side.

Obviously Naughty Dog won't buy the license back (doesn't make sense considering they have Uncharted, and Jak & Daxter), but I'd still like to see a reputable dev team

For the gladiators among you, you’ll also get an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the development of Ryse: Son of Rome and the attention to detail that went into it.

DF Direct: Crysis 4's uncertain future is a grim portend for the industry

Crysis 4 is "on hold" and Crytek is facing layoffs - so what does that mean for the company that was once Germany's biggest games dev + the industry as a whole?

I really want to see a Crysis 4 with all the ray-tracing & path-tracing effects. It would be a shame if they canceled the project. Maybe they could do a kickstarter?

DF
" Crysis is something of a tentpole game series for us at Digital Foundry, with a reputation for being an early adopter of graphics technologies that would later define entire generations of PC and console video games. That includes the likes of screen-space ambient occlusion, sub-surface scattering and ray-marched volumetric lighting, but you could write volumes about just how ground-breaking that first game was "

isarai467d ago

I really hope they come out and push the industry forward like they used to. I miss old crytek

PrinceOfAnger466d ago

They all look disappointed by this news especially Alex

JEECE465d ago

Pretty sad that the studio that gave us a monumental game like Crysis is now subsisting on microtransactions from a live service PVPVE game.

Crysis 4 put "on hold" as developer Crytek is next studio hit by layoffs

Crysis developer Crytek is the next studio hit by layoffs, as it announces it's set to lose an estimated 15 percent of its 400 employees.

RaidenBlack474d ago

Why'd the day start with such sad gaming news?
Absolutely disheartening.

Jingsing474d ago

Maybe putting The Power Rangers in Hunt Showdown will get you some money back. (sarcasm)

Kassanova07474d ago

I'm always rooting for Crytek.

P_Bomb473d ago

I’m rooting for Crysis. Hope they work it out.
