I didn't see one of these around, so I decided to make one.

Now, let me get something straight. If you do decide to comment, don't start spamming about ''how the new games suck.''

Fair, enough, they aren't what they used to be, but they are still half decent games and some people (that aren't me, might I add) like them.

So, now that's out of the way- This is a place where you can talk about Crash Bandicoot games, be the developer Naughty dog, Travellers Tales Oxford Studios, Eurocom, Sierra, Activision, Radical games or some other company that I might have missed. Have fun. :D

What year was the last Crash game released? 2008?

I think so...

Let me research it...

...I researched it and MoM was released in North America on October 7th 2008 and was later released in Europe and Australia on October 31st, in case you wanted the specific dates. :)

I loved Crash Bandicoot while I was a kid.
Played that and Spyro all the time.
Haven't played a Crash game in years though.....

Well, if you have a place that sells old games locally, I recommend going there, it's where I got most of my Crash games that I own now.

You could also get them on PSN if you have a PS3, not sure about PS4.

Alternatively, you could get an emulator and play them on your PC/Laptop/Mac/Giant piece of metal from the future which shoots lasers and makes cake.

Hope that helps. :D

This should be a more open thread, like a "Naughty Dog Fan Club" Since I do like Crash and Jak and Daxter

Or a Naughty Dog/Insomniac Fan Club.
Then we could discuss Crash, Jak and Daxter, AND Spyro.

Spyro is one of my favoritestes game eva

I second the Naughty Dog/Insomniac Fan Club. Then we can discuss Crash, Jak & Daxter, Spyro, Ratchet & Clank, and call me crazy but Uncharted as well.

Crash Bandicoot is definitely one of my favorite of all time child hood games.

Aw shit, I missed Crash Bandicoot.
I had a friend who actually managed to fully complete Crash Bandicoot 2 and 3.

It's a great idea, so I might make it if you want. :P

I do really think it's a great idea.

Don't worry, there's plenty of places where you can acquire classic games like the original CB trilogy (quadrilogy if you count CTR) and things of that sort. You just have to look hard enough.

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes! Time to replay Crash!

Bandicoot is OP

Well that settles it. This club needs to be a thing.
Someone else make it though. Cause I'm not gonna do it ._.

While you have a point, if I make it a Naughty dog/Insomniac club we can talk about games like Jak and Daxter and Ratchet and Clank along with the legendary Bandicoot.

Rumor has it that Sony might of bought crash bandicoot from activision.

It'd be pretty cool if Sony bought Crash Bandicoot. We need more Crash games along with more Spyro games as well.
Skylanders doesn't count. Also they made Spyro into some kind of mutant thing and I'll never forgive them for that.

Crash Bandicoot used to be good, sadly the recent games really didn't know what to do at all. The whole Coco screaming pancakes scene I was showed was just painful, they seemed to just want t oruin every character in the series, Coco was great for being the overly clever sister to Crash to contrast her insane brother.

The first 3 games, Crash Team Racing and questionably Crash Bash (though single player in it is really bad) were all good, Crash Bandicoot 2 being the best imo.

But yea, hopefully the new game mentioned won't be as shit as the last ones.

Yeah, I hated that. I mean, Coco went from being a genius to a god damn sissy!

I liked all of the games up to Tag team racing, personally.

Aren't they bringing back crash sometime soon?
I can't quite remember, I believe there's an article about it

I dunno. I didn't hear about it. If Sony bought the rights from Activision (which is effectively Universal, when you think about it. Universal turned into Universal Vivendi, then Sierra and Sierra got bought out by Craptivision.) they'd still need to get a developer to make it and it's been such a long time that I don't know who'd be willing to do it.

ND and TT have moved on. I don't think we want Radical, either. Maybe Sony would just buy Crystals Wrath and put it on the PS3 and/or PS4?

Then there's the soundtrack problem. Spiralmouth split up, so there's no chance of a Twinsanity style soundtrack. And I doubt that a classic style soundtrack would go down well with most musicians, since they'd want to make something flashy and new.

I'm sure they'd have no problem finding people who can make music that'd fit a Crash Bandicoot game.

It really depends. Because most people would try using guitars and heavy metal instruments, probably, and that wouldn't fit the game.

One of the very coolest things about the game (talking Crash Bandicoot 1, here) was the machinery. Most notably for me, the aggressive Tesla Coils. They are most noticeable in Cortex Power, I think.

And yeah, Dingodile is pretty kickass. I don't like Crash 3 as much though. Getting all the items in it (gems, relics, or whatever) seemed impossible to me.

Crash Bandicoot 2 is my favorite. Hands down.

Yes, but not all.
The way you're talking you're making it sound like everybody would do heavy metal music for games. But there are still plenty of people who'd be able to recreate "retro sounding" music. I mean hell we have a bunch of people on Newgrounds that do 8-bit music. There isn't much stuff that gets more "retro" than that.

True, but what are the chances of Sony contacting Newgrounds users? They haven't done it in the past.

I'm not really sure. I haven't got round to playing Crash 3, yet. But I love 2.

Also, the gems and crystals are the same as Crash 2, if a little easier, and you get speed boots after beating Cortex to help get the relics easier.
