Why cant Sony make Naughty Dog Reboot the Crash Bandicoot and Crash Team Racing?

Im preety sure anyone who had played those games would know they were made with alota care and it pains to realize they just abandoned it just like that.Crash as a character would have been a great mascot for Sony if they cared for it as much as Nintendo does with Mario

Thats great and all but nah i like Uncharted so let them keep going the uncharted side :).. also i wanna see Sly 4

Who says they can't?

do people really want to play kart racers any more. i know i sure don't. and mascots stopped being relevant in 1996

Crash Bandicoot has to be the most charmless and inane 'mascot' in the history of gaming. Let it die.Elutheria

Sony doesn't own the license to the Crash franchise and considering the company that does has made so many **** games, I doubt Sony would buy it from them for a reboot.FlamesOfGrey

as much as i enjoyed Crash titles back when ND made them, i dont think ND or Sony are interested in rebooting the series..

Honestly i'd rather see ND continue working on the Uncharted series and maybe release a new Jak title for PS3....

however most probably ND are currently planning a new IP which would be released on PS4 :)

They own Spyro too, lol.

Naughty Dog doesn't own the Crash IP.

[QUOTE="FlamesOfGrey"][QUOTE="shinrabanshou"]Three guesses which company owns the IP and ran it into the ground....

They own Spyro too, lol.

Naughty Dog doesn't own the Crash IP.

I would rather see sony bring back this guy :)

Ugh, no. :(

No more Crash Bandicoot man. It served its purpose back in the days. I'm perfectly and more than happy with the amazing work they have crafted with Uncharted.

After Uncharted I want them to take interest ina new genre then going back to platformer of action/adventure. Like Hack & Slash or Sandbox games.

Because Uncharted > Crash

Honestly,who the **** cares about Crash anymore?:lol:

Craptivision helped killed that franchise stone dead along time ago.

ND have moved on to bigger and better things since then.

Sadly this, IMO it was one of the best Ips in the PS1 era :/

Good call.Good good call.

Probably the same reason that Insomniac isn't making another Spyro, neither company ever owned the IPs of those games. Crash Bandicoot was owned by Universal Interactive and Spyro was owned by Sierra which are all divisions under Vivendi Games the parent company of Sierra, Universal, Blizzard, etc.

Activision and Vivendia merged creating Activision Blizzard and sending all the IPs Activision's way.

So there is some video game history for everyone since so many people are clueless in this thread.

Here is the history of the developers/publishers for the Crash series.

The first four Crash Bandicoot games were developed by Naughty Dog.

Crash Bash was developed by Eurocom.

Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex and Crash Twinsanity were developed by Traveller's Tales and its division Traveller's Tales Oxford, respectively.

Crash Bandicoot: The Huge Adventure (Crash Bandicoot XS in Europe), Crash Bandicoot 2: N-Tranced, Crash Nitro Kart and Crash Bandicoot Purple: Ripto's Rampage (Crash Bandicoot Fusion in Europe) have all been developed by Vicarious Visions.

Crash Tag Team Racing, Crash of the Titans and Crash: Mind Over Mutant were developed by Radical Entertainment and

Crash Boom Bang! was developed by Dimps.

The first five Crash titles were published by Sony as well as the games being produced by Universal Interactive Studios.

Wrath of Cortex was published by Konami and Universal Interactive Studios.

All of the other Crash titles were published by Universal Interactive Studios (now known as Vivendi Games).

Konami also published and distributed some Japanese-released Crash Bandicoot games for the Japanese Market.

And Universal Interactive is owned by Vivendi which merged with Activision

They're probably or should make HD remakes with 3D and Move support first, so they can reintroduce the franchises then once they gain more recognition this gen, that's when they'll make new games for Crash.

Because Naughty Dog doesn't get their paychecks from Sony like Polyphony does. ;)codezer0

I would prefer a Jack and Ratchet crossover game (not heroes on the move!!!) made by Naughty Dog or Isomniac.

Would be epic

[QUOTE="NukePistols"][QUOTE="codezer0"]Because Naughty Dog doesn't get their paychecks from Sony like Polyphony does. ;)codezer0

Except their quality went up, not down.

[QUOTE="NukePistols"][QUOTE="codezer0"]Because Naughty Dog doesn't get their paychecks from Sony like Polyphony does. ;)codezer0

Eh...no.

[QUOTE="NukePistols"][QUOTE="codezer0"]Because Naughty Dog doesn't get their paychecks from Sony like Polyphony does. ;)codezer0

Sony and Crash parted company over 10 years ago and that game was 11 years ago so it won't happen.

Except their quality went up, not down.
