Spyro the Dragon made a comeback this year, co-starring in Activision’s ambitious Skylanders series, but what about Spyro’s PlayStation contemporary, that loud-mouthed anti-Mario called Crash Bandicoot?
Crash hasn’t had a new console game since 2008. He’s fallen off the map, and he’s probably not going to come back as a Skylander. We asked Activision CEO Eric Hirshberg if, now that Spyro’s been re-invented, it’s time for a Crash comeback. His answer is above.

I agree though Crash has been gone for to long. We need him back!!!

Wednesday, November 9, 2011 at 8:51 AMI’m betting right now they will do the same thing with Crash as they have just done with Spyro.
The device is there in place, so they could almost just re-skin the game and make some minor changes so it’s Crash instead of Spyro, make a supporting cast and it’s done!
This is something I hope doesn’t happen though.

DAN!

Wait, what?
Crash never ever spoke in the first 3 games or the spin off Crash racing kart. Coco his sister spoke. Crash never did.
I think you’re getting confused with Sonic there.

Thursday, November 10, 2011 at 12:12 AMI’d like to point out on a tangent, but not completely unrelated note, what happened to crash team racing? As much as spinoffs are generally terrible, I legitimately had an awesome time when I was a kid playing that game. I would spend hours with friends just playing that game. For some reason I remember it much more fondly then mario kart.
