http://www.gamezone.com/news/sony-teases-crash-bandicoot-for-a-third-time-3433407

Sony just can't stop teasing the revival of one of its most beloved characters, Crash Bandicoot. Many fans have been requesting some sort of revival, but since Activision currently holds the rights to Crash, Sony's hands are kind of tied. But the company just keeps teasing the little guy over and over, which makes it hard to ignore.

The first tease came way back with the PS4 launch trailer. Fans theorized that a silhouette of Crash was on a posted sign with a blue arrow pointing up to what seemed to be the orginal Sony logo, check it out for yourself down below. If you want to check out the video for yourself, click here. (The tease comes in at 00:49 and it's in the right hand corner.)

That tease wasn’t the clearest, but it led many fans to believe that Sony is cooking something up with its former mascot. However the next tease was crystal clear when Shawn Layden, President and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment America, came walking out on stage at PlayStation Experience with a Crash shirt. This made everyone, including myself, believe that sometime during the press conference Sony was going to unveil a new Crash game, but sadly they didn't.

Now we have the third tease, which comes from the official PlayStation Middle East twitter account. The post translates to "Most Wanted: Where Are You Crash?” and features a full picture of our beloved hero.

=============

At this point it's all but confirmed. Why else would Sony tease the character up so much? The question is - are you ready, SW?

@SolidGame_basic:

Well if it will come back, now is the opportune time. Activision has the destiny and cod deals with sony. Wouldn't be surprised if they wanted to release an exclusive on ps4, or just extra content on ps4.

At this point, if it isn't coming back, they are just being nasty teases. It would be nice to see more high quality 3D platformers to compete with each other, but who is going to develop Crash if they bring it back.Will it be a deal with Activision? Worst case is that it's just an exclusive Crash skylander figure.

Yeah, i want Crash back. It's not like I actually care for the Crash games, because I'll be honest, I don't- I just want there to be more quality 3D platformers once more, especially since so many 3D platforming franchises have been taking to 2D game design in recent years.

Crash Bandicoot was the first ever game i played on the (then) new Sony Playstation, 2 decades and 4 generations of consoles later im still playing my games on Sony machines. I think if im honest today Crash has had his day (for me atleast) however i do have very fond memories of the orange critter.

And yet the new game isn't out yet so your point is baseless.

Except maybe the last what? Three games were junk?

That's something to base that on I'd say...

I wouldnt care if it came back, i think it would be pretty pointless to come back tho.

People dont really care for these types of games or these types of mascot characters anymore.

Well, if Activision does it, I doubt it will be great. They already did about 3-4 Crash games and most of them were pretty bad. I'd want Naughty Dog to do it to be honest. It's too bad the original founders of Naughty Dog are no longer with the company.

Who really cares? A brand new series from ND would've been a better and more interesting thing to hear.

Who would make it? Please don't say Naughty Dog, frankly they're talents could likely better be utilized elsewhere.

More Classic Spyro would be epic

I wish the two could be split off from each other!, and yes the Skylanders spin-off is Activision's 3th or 4th most profitable franchise so it would be a expensive acquisition.

Crash being in skylanders seems plausible. I do hope its a proper crash game though. I'm still burnt from the whole conker in project spark thing.

I would love a new Crash game. But please don't try to be modern or anything like Knack. Really, all I want is just a game like 2 or 3 with next gen graphics

Agreed. The resurgence of 2d was fun for awhile but now it's time to go back to the island.
