Idol of PlayStation back in the day, where has our favorite bandicoot gone?
I've been stuck playing c 1 & 2 for about 3 days... oh nostalgia.
I think Activision stopped producing the franchise after Sierra fell apart. They still hold the rights to Crash and Spyro, though, so you could expect anything.
It had a load of good games, I'm guessing the series was abandoned but better abandoned than becoming the next Sonic.
I seriously hope they make more games of Crash and Spyro. Shit was awesome. I've got to go play some Crash again some time...
Both Crash and Spyro were serious childhood favorites of mine. I believe after Naughty Dog released the final Playstation 1 title and Universal Interactive & Traveller's Tales took over, it became shit.
The nostalgic experience of Spyro died along with PS1..
It died a tragic, far too painful death after Naughty Dog stopped making them.
I'd like to see Insomniac do another Spyro game or Naughty Dog do another Crash Bandicoot game.
Naughty dog quitted making it after 3. Though twinsanity is good, atleast they say.
Well I decided to play Spyro again and got 100%. It was so much fun reliving my childhood. I wish I could find my copy of Crash Bandicoot, that was the first game I got on my PS1 and will always hold a place in my heart.
I had one of those games.It was much fun, and I still have it :smug:
I played one of the most recent Crash Bandicoot games on psp and it was horrible, they took away the spin attack and made you perform punch and kick combos
So yeah Activision killed it
they were both dead to me once the PS2 games game out. they were horribad. hell, I didn't really like CTR or Crash Bash for the PS1, either, for that matter...
Crash Team Racing was the last game before the death of the series started. When the PS2 came out (and the XBox soon after), Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex was released. Basically a rehashing of what made 3 good, it took all of that and drove it right into the ground with bad mechanic after bad mechanic. Crash: Nitro Kart and Tag Team Racing eventually were released, both designed to be "party games". Then, the final nail in the coffin, Crash: Twinsanity, was released. This game was so unbearably bad that it combined Crash and Cortex in co-operative gameplay, introduced new character after new character, and made it into a free-roam game you could break SO easily by going right back to the beginning at any time to do it all over.
When the PS2 was released, Spyro games stopped being produced for the longest time, and he was all but forgotten. The original creator of the game took it off the list and it was discontinued. Then, a new series came out, throwing all the old mechanics out the window and making Spyro into basically a beat-em-up with dragons. Both series' suffered horrible deaths at the hand of corporate marketing. Trying to revive them just made it worse.
Went shit the moment Naughty Dog stopped developing it.

This is basically what happens to most old games. It's really depressing. :frown:
Naughty Dog & Insomniac + 5
Traveller's Tales + 0
Word is, there's a new crash game coming soon.
Naughty dog sold itself to another company.
Crash was forever ruined.

Crash Bandicoot games were easily my favorite PS1 games ever.
Funny how you'r mentionning it, in fact I was playing it on my xbox yesterday (had to stop because the stupid emulator couldnt render well the first tomb level and I got stuck)
Shit was gold.
This entire thread fills me with nostalgia.
I wanted new Crash and Spyro games until I heard that Activision owned the rights.
Crash 2 was like my second game on PS1. Later I bought 3, and in 2009 or 2008 CTR. :v:. Every single one was awesome. I still play them from time to time....
I remember this game, had only the first three ps1 versions.
My dad used to play Crash a lot, I still have working Crash 1, 2, and 3 discs that I play when I got the chance.
naughty dog made 3 brilliant crash bandicoot games and then ditched the series, selling it to some other company afterwards.
at which point it turned in to a pile of shit.
same thing happened to spyro.
both of them are now owned by activision.
and since oddworld inhabitants decided to go and dick around with movies instead of actually making more oddworld games, all of the ps1 mascots are fucked.
What are there, 3 Spyro games and 4 Crash games? Feels bad, so much potential awesome :frown:
If Activision owns the rights I hope they leave them the fuck alone, they've been damaged enough.
I had Crash 1,2,3, Crash Bash and the racing game, with the exception of Bash they were all amazing.
Crash team racing is/was awesome

While not as good as the others, Bash was still good, better than the shit nowadays
