    Crash Bandicoot

    Franchise »

    Take control of Crash, a hyperactive bandicoot with an attitude as he tries to stop the evil scientist Dr. Neo Cortex from world domination. The popularity of the series led to Crash being the unofficial PlayStation mascot and selling 40 million copies with over 14 games released.

    Who thinks Naughty Dog should make Crash Bandicoot games again?

    Without Naughty Dog Crash Bandicoot is really boring and the sales of this game has decreased. Naughty Dog should retake Crash Bandicoot and turn it back into the fun, lovable and joyful game we used to know and play.

    I don't think they should. They did a trilogy of great games and knew when to let go and move on. Sometimes you just have to stop a franchise, otherwise you end up with Sonic...

    I'd rather just remember the greats from the ps1 era. Crash was a brilliant companion for my childhood, but I'm OK with him gone.

    Someone should work on a HD remake of the first three Crash Bandicoot games.  I loved the series greatly until Naughty Dog left (not sure who made Crash Team Racing or Crash Bash though).

    Its not their fault no one wants to play kids games, built around OCD and foe-Pixar characters.  They stopped making those games because its not what people want.  Its also doesn't make sense to make kid games, when there is a whole console dedicated to them.  The Wii has that market and Naughty Dog is making too much money making real games now.

    I... what?! 
     
     
    Anyway, yeah I'd rather see an Uncharted 3, then retire THAT series, and bring on something new. New new new, I demand new.

    A far as I know this is the most sophisticated thing you have written on this site so far.

    Hmm, looks like your brain came up with a faux-version of the word you were looking for.

    And there aren't enticing sums of money there... More dough elsewhere.

    @ShiftyMagician: Naughty Dog made Crash Team Racing. It was the last game they made for the series. I think Eurocom made Crash Bash.

    Stop making me nostalgic!  Crash and Spyro are two of my favourite franchises ever, but it was time for then to move on and make new and better things.

    Naughty Dog needs to get the rights back and make remakes or sequel! I want that to happen right now!

    I sort of get the idea that the age for Crash is gone. It was from a time when Playstation had to make a name for itself to steal people away from the Super Nintendo, and the upcoming Nintendo 64, so they made a Mario clone.

    As much as I love the PS1 Crash Bandicoot games, I accepted that Crash was dead a long time ago, and I don't think I want to see Naughty Dog revisit the franchise.

    I was playing the first Crash just the other day and thinking about this. Unfortunetly I don't think modern gaming lends itself well to the feel and simplicity of Crash, although I do think that they could make a kick ass game for PSN and Live.

    Maybe a 2D side-scrolling platformer for the PSN and XBOX Live? I don't know; I want Naughty Dog to spend most of (if not all) its time on Uncharted.
