@Canadian Guy Eh thanks
Canadian Guy Eh how sad for universal
Matthew Harrup point out in the video where he says that Universal developed these games.
he clearly points out who developed them lol
The irony is during the Spyro: Year Of The Dragon credits, Insomniac Games poked fun of their tight development stating "Thank you for playing the Spyro trilogy! We have had four great, fun, sleepless years creating it!".
Looks like Insomniac really live up to their name.
Raiando X I hope that didn’t work on that name on Ratchet & Clank, and Spider-Man...
@@fernie-fernandezSpider-Man didnt have crunch. As for Ratchet... God almight...
Wow, I owe it to those Naughty Dog and Insomniac workers, putting in those many, overtime, poor-work environment hours to give me and many other Crash and Spyro fans those special childhood memories.
If only they had better work environments... Heck, even Sega, in spite of not producing the best games in recent years (except for stuff like Shenmue 3), probably had better work environments than what Universal had!
@@theadventurechu4546 Yakuza and Persona are pretty good Sega games
@@oscarprudencio1799 True. And for the record, I'm REALLY hyped for Banana Mania, but the 2010 Sonic games, while good for the most part, could've been so much more.
According to The Gaming Historian, Insomniac’s first game, Disruptor, was originally meant to be a 3DO game! They had to pull strings in order to get it onto PlayStation due to the failure of the 3DO!
The documentaries on the working conditions during production of Enter the Dragonfly is horrifying. People to this day never got paid for the work they did on that project.
What!! They can go to file case
Crash & Spyro could have been as big as Mario & Sonic if it weren't for Universal.
Mario, sure... But... Sonic? They have their own problems
@@Mackaber right, but sonic still had much better marketing than crash or spyro, from the games to the books to the cartoon, action figures and now the movie.
Just like how Universal ruined Crash and Spyro, Sega is ruining Sonic aswell. Crash and Spyro will have a bright future because VV and Activision know what they are doing and have some great developers.
Sega on the other hand...
@@imanobody7911 I don't think SEGA is ruining Sonic. They just have no clue what to do with him anymore. It's why they had a freelancer like Whitehead make Mania & they've said multiple times Sonic games don't mesh well in 3D because it requires large open spaces to run around super fast in & they just can't make it work well. I still think Generations is the best we'll ever get out of the Sonic franchise.
@@Crazy_Gamer_OG Yeah same. Also Generations (my favorite) was the last good Sonic game we got ( Mania doesn't count) and that's back to 2011! We haven't gotten a decent Sonic game from Sega for 9 years!
The grand irony is that Universal themselves really didn't contribute much aside from publishing, which Sony themselves could easily have handled if only Naughty Dog and Insomniac had come to them directly. ND and IG realized this and decided to work directly with Sony from then on, creating Jak and Daxter and Ratchet & Clank as Sony exclusives like Crash and Spyro should have been.
Brandon Collup I sorta wish that Sony was the publisher's for crash and Spyro at that time
@@toirlangston7203Im mean, they kinda are but not really? The credits show that it was basically co-published by Sony and Universal. Universal owned the rights to the IP but Sony had publishing rights to the first 4 games
Wow, Universal was a jerk to Naughty Dog and Insomniac. If I was working under those conditions, I'd leave too. I applaud the courage to do that.
It’s like as a mass corporation of movies, Universal is its (partially) universally (no pun intended) admirable self, yet somehow, as a game developer, it is a mass corporation of gaming so bad it would even make Nintendo look like Sony Interactive Entertainment (Sony is pretty much the anti-Universal because despite being far from the best mass corporation of films even though MCs aren’t well-known for having the highest of standards (especially when it’s Viacom with Nickelodeon, MTV and Paramount), they are so much better as a gaming company with fascinating IPs like Pac-Man World, Crash Bandicoot (mostly), MediEvil, Sly Cooper, Ratchet & Clank, Uncharted, God of War, Bloodborne, The Order: 1886 (from a production standpoint), Spyro the Dragon (mostly), Knack, Ape Escape, Spider-Man, etc).
@@kieranstark7213Pac-Man is Namco bro😅
It seems that a lot of publishing companies are pretty bad. I see why greed is one of the 7 deadly sins. No?
Revealed Ninji EA ranking among one of the top WORST now, yes. They are quickly becoming known as franchise killers.
Activision did Crash and Spyro justice. Despite the microtransactions in CTR Nitro Fueled, I'm looking forward to newer games in the future. I'd be satisfied with Playstation or PC versions.
The microtransactions literally do nothing in CTR apart from buying cosmetics. It's not terrible by any means.
To add to your comment, you can literally get all the cosmetics just by playing
@GalacticHypernova it's a game meant for online. That was its major selling point. Granted I won't deny that the servers aren't the best but it's better some other games
MTX in CTR are more than fair, but what cause backlash is that they sneaked them in the game after reviews were out. It's kind of an unfair bullshity strategy.
I'll like this new era when I get a game. So far we got two betas so far. N sane trilogy is unplayable broken mess and nitro is playable,but glitchy. Not unplayable but online is filled with hackers
I'm actually surprised by how little amount of videos are about this, and by how little amount of people know about this. This was drama that I grew up with and have known about since I was a kid, but whenever I talk about it people are usually surprised and never knew until I told them. It's sad that there are so many people that don't realize that Universal is the main reason that the Crash and Spyro series ended up the way they did.
@GalacticHypernova Oh, this video only scratches the surface of how bad Universal treated them. There are many more stories out there, you just have to do a bit of research to find them.
Dude I thought the reason ND and IG dumped crash and spyro was simply because they got bored of the games and wanted to do something different, plus there was nothing much else to do with the characters
@@Takeru9292 While it's true that Naughty Dog and Insomniac were just about done with the series anyway, they left them behind mainly because of the way Universal treated the employees. After they left, Universal didn't take good care of the Crash and Spyro series at all, resulting in a ton of bad and mediocre games.
It's so depressing to know how awful universal is. Especially after the recent enter the dragonfly documentary made by Mr. FO1 (i implore anyone to take a look at it) it's become a bittersweet feeling now looking at post naughtydog, insomniac entries.
Luis Morales he just released an update on that a couple weeks ago. Just started watching it, I was blown away by the beta render of Enchanted Forest.
Thanks for linking it so we can all watch it! 🙄
@@mjc0961 yea? I'm sorry "Mr. FO1" and "enter the dragonfly documentary" wasn't enough information for you.
In the end, Naughty Dog and Insomniac got the last laugh.
And yet most people choose to ignore this and instead put all their time and energy into ranting about non-intrusive microtransactions.
I think both of these things are really big problems
The microtransactions are teaching kids how to gamble how is that not a problem?!
@@elijahechicagobearsboyd5734 Not the ones in CTR
Because it’s 2019 people got to find something to bitch and complain about(even if the micro transactions don’t affect the gameplay)
We've reached the point in gaming where people are seriously defending predatory practices simply because "it's not as bad as the other type of predatory practice." That's how brainwashed people have become.
They allowed the same things to happen to both of them simmultaneously:
-An amazing trilogy of games on the Ps1 considered to be the best in the franchise (Crash 1, Cortex Strikes Back and Warped/Spyro 1, Ripto's Rage and Year of the Dragon)
-A fourth game developed for next gen consoles which ruined the character's reputation (Wrath of Cortex/Enter the Dragonfly)
-A fifth game which was pretty good and showed potential (Twinsanity/A Hero's Tail)
-A couple of games which took the franchise in a new direction and made the franchise go into hiatus (Crash of the Titans and Mind Over Mutant/The Legend of Spyro games)
-A remastering of the original trilogy for the Ps4 which revived the characters and added polish to beloved games (The N. Sane Trilogy/Reignited Trilogy)
1:54 yo what if they added him to CTR Nitro Fueled 😂? They added Hasty who was based on a concept art character
But seriously I’d take Activision and their money loving addictions over Universal and their cruel minds any day of the week. Cruelty is way worse than greed
Universal: I make the best crash bandicoot and Spyro game ever
Activision: I will fix there mistakes and make the best crash bandicoot and Spyro game ever starting with remastering it
Spyro and Crash would've been video gaming legends alongside Master chief, Sonic, Steve and even Mario if it wasn't for universal's stupidity.
Wrath of Cortex ( & etd in most ways) are prime examples as to why publishers shouldn’t force devs to scrap their ideas/stuff and rush games so the Pubs get those holiday sales bucks. I’ve heard wrath of cortex had allot more ambitions initially, but the ridiculously short dev time allotted could only let them get as far as a sub par crash 3 duplicate
And now... I really hate Universal.
Universal needs to stick to movies.
Did you know that spyro and crash were used to be appeared at universal studios theme parks?
If Universal did their part well, they could've been not just the most popular movie company but also the most popular video game company out there.
If only universal let naughty dog and insomniac do their thing
Man, Universal messed up big time. Hope Toys for Bob keeps up the good work.
Its things like this that really cast a shadow over your childhood...I'm glad Universal Studios died out because they were horrible and ignorant!
My hopes go to Activision for creating new Crash AND Spyro game! For the love of all things sacred Activision please don't just focus on Crash, give the purple dragon some love too!!
Wow, I didn't know Universal Interactive Studios was THIS BAD. I mean, not giving workers an air-conditioner when forced to work after hours?!
Naughty dog: makes an ultimate amazing game
Universal : no we don't like good games. You wanna make it? Then threaten us and work on it in a room where ac is free and by that we mean you're getting a heat stroke
I hope they can get many of those original exdevelopers back, under WAAY better circumstances and more respect.
Wrath of Cortex is far from the worst Crash Game. It's not even that bad, it's just needs improvement. Hell I think if they remade it like they did with the first 3 games and maybe just tweaked the story and fleshed out the controls better, it'd be a really good game. Sure yes it is a Crash Warped clone but that doesn't need to be a bad thing.
But don't get me wrong. That doesn't forgive them for everything else.
Right, it was, at worst, passable. It was an attempt to recapture the brilliance of Warped.
@@Darkrising1993 I'm personally more down for a Twinsanity remake. It had so much cut content and so much missed potential.
@@johnathonturner2279 Oh don't get me wrong. I'd personally want twinsanity more because despite all the content it is my favourite Crash game outside the OG trilogy. But I think I'd still want both. Who knows. Maybe both can be on one disc. They were PS2 games.
@@Darkrising1993 Maybe the title could be a jab at how poorly built the originals were.
For "Enter the Dragonfly" someone went into full (and I do mean full) research into the game and its development. Things got so heated in between all three companies that someone almost lost their life working on the game. In fact, Check 6 would have been a fantastic game company if it wasn't for Universal.
For more details, check out the Mr. FO1 channel and subscribe to him, he deserves the attention for his amazing work!!
When i saw that title of this video...i couldn't agree more with you canadianguyea.
As a side note: universal interactive studios was indeed a pretty bad publisher. (Well...after 2000 that is.)
What if I were to tell you that the Crash game I started with was The Wrath of Cortex?
Sony, Universal Interactive Studios and Naughty Dog Games made four successful games of Crash Bandicoot franchise like Crash Bandicoot (1996), Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back (1997), Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped (1998), and Crash Team Racing (1999) before Activision and two game developers: Vicarious Visions and Beenox made two successful remake games of Crash Bandicoot franchise like Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy (2017) and Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled (2019).
Except for the post Naughty Dog games of Crash Bandicoot franchise like: Crash Bash (2000), Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex (2001), Crash Bandicoot: The Huge Adventure (2002), Crash Bandicoot: N. Tranced (2003), Crash Nitro Kart (2003), Crash Bandicoot Purple: Ripto's Rampage (2004), Crash: Twinsanity (2004), Crash Tag Team Racing (2005), Crash Boom Bang! (2006), Crash of the Titans (2007) and Crash: Mind Over Mutant (2008). Universal Interactive Studios, Vivendi Universal Games and Sierra Entertainment didn't make successful games for the post Naughty Dog games of Crash Bandicoot so Activision doesn't have to make anymore remakes of Crash Bandicoot franchise.
Sony, Universal Interactive Studios and Insomniac Games made three successful games of Spyro the Dragon franchise like Spyro the Dragon (1998), Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage! (1999), and Spyro 3: Year of the Dragon (2000) before Activision and a game developer: Toys for Bob made an only successful remake game: Spyro Reignited Trilogy (2018).
Except for the post Insomniac Games of Spyro the Dragon franchise like Spyro: Season of Ice (2001), Spyro: Season of Flame (2002), Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly (2002), Spyro: Attack of the Rhynocs (2003), Spyro Orange: The Cortex Conspiracy (2004), Spyro: A Hero's Tail (2004), Spyro: Shadow Legacy (2005), The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning (2006), The Legend of Spyro 2: The Eternal Night (2007), and The Legend of Spyro 3: Dawn of the Dragon (2008).
Universal Interactive Studios, Vivendi Universal Games, and Sierra Entertainment didn't make the successful games of post Insomniac Games of Spyro the Dragon franchise either so Activision doesn't have to make anymore remakes of post Insomniac Games of Spyro the Dragon franchise either.
Activision and Toys for Bob made a successful revivaled brand new game of Crash Bandicoot franchise like Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time (2020).
But hopefully Activision and possibly Beenox will make a successful revival brand new game of Spyro the Dragon franchise like new Spyro 4 into the future. 🙂
I did imagine that something like that was happening. I mean really. Those titles that came after the trilogy show they had no idea what they were doin. A dark time that is finally over.
very enlightening. it's part of why future tense, the dlc level for warped, was so good, although made to be brutally hard, and why I want dlc for the reignited trilogy so much.
Is great to see Activision has changed, and not greedy like EA
Mario used to actually have a new game year after year. From both the Mario Party series, until Hudson Soft's closing, and the Super Mario Advance series on GBA. And even Donkey Kong Country as well from 1994-1996.
This is why i think Enter the Dragonfly need a redo. More of a remake with more content and of course better graphics
It definitely had potential! I actually like the game despite the glitches and awkward controls.
TBH, the only thing Universal did right was their logo itself (with the music done by the late James Horner and Jerry Goldsmith) and having both I.P.s at the theme parks in the early 2000s. The biggest irony is that Universal distributed Crash and Spyro in the past, while they are also doing a Mario and Sonic movie. (In my country, Universal is the distributor of the Sonic movie)
The *poor* ‘Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly’ devs. 😞
6:54
"Go on to make epics like The Last Of Us"
Please. That game is POS. No better than any of the mediocre Crash games (As in post CTR ones)....kind of sours the example/point.
Good video otherwise.
Flariz your opinion is not a fact, bud
Wrath of Vortex was good
Wow, never think of Universal the same way again.
The movie business works the same way, with major studios not having a single clue what to do with significant IPs, like WB messing up their whole DC superhero universe.
1:15 I thought Sony were the publishers of the original Crash and Spyro games
Imagine the new crash game comes out and at the end, hints a new spyro game.
It's like a hype making machine! Especially if it's a secret unlockable for 100%
This video didn't age well, did it?
Could you credit Mr. FO1 for making interviews with the Spyro 4 developers? He did a documentary about the Spyro 4 game and I thing some information has been almost copied word for word with no credit
What Activision is doing and has been doing with Crash and Spyro is the best case scenario for the franchises but, I want the next Crash Bandicoot game to be different. I want it to blow our minds.
Also Clancy Brown who is the voice actor of the OG Cortex was treated poorly and that's why he won't come back as Cortex (Same thing for WoC and CNK if i remember).
I don't know about the other VA tough
Not just Cortex, but all video game roles are a "I refuse" for Clancy Brown. It's why Nickelodeon had to recast Mr. Krabs in the Spongebob games including Battle for Bikini Bottom.
This is why Universal Interactive should've gave the Crash Bandicoot and Spyro franchises to probably Activision after their PS1 games since Universal Interactive couldn't come up with ideas and were also a bunch of @$$holes for forcing the developers to rush Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly to be released for the holiday of 2002 (which is why it suffers from very short length, lengthy loading times, numerous bugs and glitches, horrible frame rates, terrible controls, and lack of promised content) and even Crash Twinsanity when they were renamed Vivendi Universal Games, hell it was even reported that a boy suffered from epileptic seizures due to the horrible frame rates Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly has and that's what prompted his mother into suing the publishers and developers who worked on the game. (sigh) I wish a time machine is invented, I would travel back in time and make sure Activision probably buys Crash Bandicoot and Spyro from Universal, make sure we get that fourth Crash Bandicoot game that takes place after the events of the third entry and even make sure we get Spyro 4.
The big companies are harsh in many ways period!!!
Crash Bash is actually a fun party game.
Yeah, i used to play it a fair amount. Bit unfair when trying to unlock the last levels. Never got about 4 of them because the gems were too tough.
Crash Bash is very fun. But I wouldn't consider it a complete Mario Party clone without originality like the states in the vid.
And a remake is going to happen . I hope. Reboot or remake whatever you call what they did to CTR nitro fueled .
I also dont think Crash Bash is a clone of Mario Party at all, I even like it more than Mario Party.
It has no boards, stars, etc. only the minigames and the warp rooms which came straight from previous Crash games.
Its basically just a Crash game with minigames instead of levels.
The only thing I dont like in the game is that the AI is way too unfair in adventure mode.
@@bandicootsmwcentral2950 yeah I'm not sure why they say it's a clone . Its nowhere near that . I'll give Mario Kart is kind of close to crash team racing cause well its racing . But I love ctr and crash bash way more than Mario Kart and party . There's no boardgame type of thing happening here . Don't understand why youtubers get this mixup . Crash bash deserves alot more. We need a remake like they did ctr to show the haters wrong .
Had universal interactive not mistreated both Naughty Dog and Insomniac Games in 1999 and 2000, And Ruined both franchises, they still be in business today not merged with Activision But because of their stupidity and creating the Crash and Spyro games that weren't on par with Naughty Dog's Original Crash Bandicoot Trilogy and Insomniac's Original Spyro Trilogy they ended up merged with Activision and their existence as a publisher ceased as a result. This video does prove very true.
One of my favorite characters lke Tawna Bandicoot being removed because of Universal is the reason why i dislike Universal interactive / Vivendi, Her in Moulin Cortex being shown in Crash Twinsanity ( Which did not made sense like why would she be so interested on working at a job run by one of her enemies ) is like a sign of their hate towards her
So yeah she's looks pretty but she doesn't too sexual for what Universal has depicted, They could have not refuse on keeping her and accept Naughty Dog on having in the seauels, giving her more personality and ability to fight and of course redesign her a bit in case of not getting bitch complains from overprotective soccer moms
Despite the first Crash Bandicoot game being rated K.A for kids and adults, But Universal cared for kids most offen
I love the new RE2 remake but i now wonder what it would've looked like if it was true to the original source as these 2 games were.
3:36
Core Design that made Tomb Raider games every years for 5 years : Am I a joke to you ?
okay but you forgot about he disasters of activision with skylanders crash of titans and mind over mutant
Man you just described my work week, but I don't get to make cool things. I'd gladly work 12 hour days if I got to make video games, that's two hours less than I do usually making fucking food
In all honest activision did kind of make toys for bob work crunch time to release the spyro reignited trilogy before the end of 2018, especially since it got delayed by two months. I know they have quotas to meet and deadlines but the fact they had to get another developer to help them out, sanzaru games, really shows how much pressure they were under.
In other news...grass is green
Now we're all very excited at the idea of new Crash and Spyro games, but let's keep in mind these hugely successful new installments are remakes of already great games. They still need to pull off totally original games that wow everyone before we get excited about the series' going forward.
Though that said, we're hopefully less likely to get games stripped down to rush them out the door now.
The worst thing that the Spyro series did was add extra non dragon characters. Other than the ones they already introduced in the original game. That cheetah dude was a terrible idea. Somebody higher up must’ve came up with that idea and really forced it into the game. Terrible design. Oh, an too much dialogue.
How can you be so excited about Universal being terrible to Crash & Spyro and expect Naughty Dog & Insomniac to let these two be in other platforms as if so better, WHEN NOTHING WAS BETTER, IT WAS COMPLETE NAUGHTY DOG & INSOMNIAC'S MISTAKE ON EVER TRUSTING UNIVERSAL STUDIOS!
Now I'm not mad that Crash & Spyro is not a console exclusives but if they left from being exclusive so should Super Mario or Donkey Kong, but hey that doesn't matter at least we have Ratchet & Clank, Kratos, Nathan Drake you name it
(how can people allow this)
Spyro and Crash deserve so much better and they're getting it!! However i will say,unpopular opinion, but i LOVED Crash Bash and Crash of the Titans games. And I loved Spyro A Hero's Tail and the first Legend of Spyro. I loved these ONLY because they were something new and offered cool new mechanics and story. I loved them as their own standalone things. Separate stories and lore and universes and all that
Crash and Spyro are in good (if dirty) hands. Imagine being an IP owned by Konami. Ouch.
Funny enough, Konami did the Japanese localizations of Wrath of Cortex, Season of Ice, and Crash Purple/Spyro Orange.
The reboots were never localized, although Japanese PS3 systems can still play Dawn of the Dragon due to lack of regional lockout on the disc. However, it's unknown who did the Japanese localization of Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure.
Square Enix localized Skylanders in Japan.
What was the knocking sound at 7:26?
Universal as Company is actually bad, how they pressured their employees to make the game.
Well, we learn from the mistakes
I don't have anything against Wrath of Cortex, Enter the Dragonfly, Twin Sanity, etc, like many others does.
But, sometimes, a bad reputation takes time to come back instead of a dead one.
Now I'm very glad that Activision takes the wheels from Crash and Spyro, and I hope they keep doing that great work that we love a lot.
6 great games, a shame they got treated like trash.
I wish activision and beenox officially makes "Everyone is here" for CTR nitro fueled
There is a Fan Version. ^^
Well Crash Team Racing did end up having a wrong warp trick so I am not too picky. :p
Honestly, even though I'm a huge fan of the tlos franchise, Insomniac are still the dev team I trust the most right now. The Ratchet and Clank reboot from 2016 was cool enough, and if the originals are indeed better, I definitely see where the hype over this franchise came from. But their best release yet was Spiderman, which is my favorite game to date. The sales of this game don't surprise me at all, given how much content and variety it has, with extra elements of flexibility, and with the only thing even remotely monetized being the DLC (which is pretty much buying a shorter but still awesome game in less than half the price, like Uncharted Lost Legacy is to Uncharted 4 A Thief's End). If the sequel would by even half as good, Insomniac have a great future ahead.
I will never understand why Sony didn't completely buy the rights to Crash Bandicoot.
Can’t buy the rights from someone who doesn’t want to sell.
Also Call of Duty. They have two developers on this franchise too.
Looking back suck Sony didn't buy the rights to them. I feel they couldn've kept the momentum going and be where Ratchet and Clank is now.
But since Naughty Dog and Insomniac moved on at PS2, I'm sure Sony could've gotten a more competent company and gave them the time and budget to make great games.
But the PS3 era unfortunately would be rough. Because everyone wanted to play as humans with guns at the time. Like COD. So why Ratchet manged to adapt. But Sly only had one game Post PS2 and Jak is MIA
I think universal wanted to remove the naughty dog logo from the first crash game, so that people would assume they created it
Universal studios treated Naughty Dog like hell
It’s technically a disgrace to our beloved Spyro and crash
Well, Crash and Spyro are Universal characters.
But I love universal interactive studios
With crash bandicoot and Spyro the dragon
"Imagine having a new game come out every year for four years."
Pokemon: Help... Me...
That's something different. Naughty dog had like 30 people back then.
Game Freak on the other hand has multiple teams.
Dragonfire2505 It's arguably worse, though, since the franchise is so held to its merchandizing lines they literally cannot take a break for anything. They gotta push out a new game nearly every year. They've only skipped seven years out of 23 years on the market with a main line game not dropping on store shelves. And yes, many of those years are remakes... But that arguably makes it even WORSE than it already was arguably worse, seeing as how they could instead of remaking a game for the umpteenth time, just put more resources into a new experience instead of dividing their teams and putting part of their work force on a remake.
wootmasterzorsx this kind of stuff makes me feel bad for being a pokemon fan. i wish game freak would take breaks from the new games
@@wootmasterzorsx Well this year we didn't get any new game but DLC to existing Sword and Shield.Biggest problem is shitty Let's Go game that no one asked for/cared about.
Crash of the titans &
Crash mind over mutant was the best
you forgot 1 thing, crash and spyro on the universal theme parks
Brilliant future? Well, for Spyro maybe, but for Crash, phooey! His present is screwed up and can only mean a breach of camels back after which franchise will never ever recover and even bother to pay appropriate homage to original Crash games
I agree that Activision are better publishers but I still don't completely trust them with the IP's after what they did to CTR Nitro Fueled
Crash 4: Episode I as I call it. It's nowhere as bad as the Spyro games or other Crash games that came around in the 2000s, but nowhere as good as the original trilogy.
AH HA, I Knew It, Activision Isn't A Bad Company, They Do Give Back to the Community Ya Know, I Guess Universal Interactive is was a bad game company.
It's funny how the tides have turned. Activision considered the worst company in the universe has now been pushed aside to Universal Studios. Funny isn't it. Don't get me wrong if I see one more Call of Duty game I am going to ralf! But it is ironic.
I think it would be different, if those game wouldnt sell so much :P
I find this a bit unfair towards Universal their working practices aside if not for them Spyro and Crash may have never happened in the first place.
Making a sequel every year wasn't all that difficult back in the day, especially if you already have an engine and some assets.
Back in the day you could make a AAA game for the PS1 with a team of a dozen people, that's how simple games were back then, nowdays you need 100+ people and about 3y minimum.
As for the PS2 games it was just a bad decision making on both the universal and the new rookie developers who weren't yet used to the PS2 architecture.
Universal Interactive is very prone for their executive meddling.
Super Mario Party clone.....God, how I hate when someone a Crash game is the clone of a Mario game....that's not the only platforming game, and just because another game is in the same game category, doesn't make it a clone!
Well I was thinking of Activision being even better! how? well... I have plans for them Acquiring Rare from Microsoft (Including: Banjo-Kazooie, Conker etc.), Blinx, Blue Dragon, Interplay's IP's (Including: Earthworm Jim, etc.), Some of Disney Interactive's old titles (Including: Pure, Split/Second, Guilty Party, Spectrobes, Etc.), some of Monolith Productions' pre-2005 game library before WB bought them (Including: No One Lives Forever, Etc.), Croc, Rocket Robot on Wheels, Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank, Sly Cooper, and some others. I would give them the Crash and Spyro treatment and give them releases on all consoles and add a Activision themed section at Universal Parks! What do you think of my great Idea on Activision?
The creators of Spyro are the creators of Spiderman
What new Crash and Spyro games? I don't recall seeing anything other than rumors.
Oh cool. Activision is publishing the unconfirmed games. Can't wait for them to try and drain my wallet with microtransactions like Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled. Activision still sucks even if they're not as bad as Universal.
Activision. Oh, that's good. They're only the 2nd worst game publisher in the world. X(
*4th. Konami takes 2nd spot and Bethesda takes 3rd
CTR was made in the same year that i was born.
What if they make a Crash Bandicoot Movie by Illumination bought by Universal Studios
Crash bash is one of my favorite child hood games
Maybe in another reality, Naughty Dog and Insomaniac own Crash and Spyro respectively, but wow, that's one hell of a christmas story... I guess.
Crash Bash NEEDS to happen & I still haven't forgave Universal for what happened with Spyro Enter The Dragonfly. Because of them, Check Six has defunct. I'm hopping that Activision can bring back one of my favorite Crash spinoff games, but I won't hold them up to it.

No it doesn’t, we need a NEW Crash game.
No it doesn't need to happen.
Yes, it very much does. My opinion will stand.
