This was the problem with both Crash and Spyro on the PS1. They were originally owned by Universal Vivendi Games, and they had a temporary publishing deal with Sony on the PS1. However, Universal Vivendi was bought out by Activision, giving them the right to the franchises. This is why when the PS2/ GC/ XB era came around, we started seeing both series make appearances on all the consoles (and the overall decline of the series'). It's why the original 4 games are still exclusive to PS; Sony still owns the rights, technically. Rumor has it though that Sony recently bought the rights, and the games might make a comeback. Who knows? Would be pretty frickin awesome. |
I see, If true with Sony they can have their Mario. (Platformer back). Definetly a huge loss, sort of reminds me of Banjo Kazooie, the best platformer along with Conker's Bad fur day+Donkey Kong 64 on N64. Rare bought out by M$. Such a waste. I was so excited to hear banjo returning then the abomination Bolts and Nuts came :'-(
