Back in the 90's while I was growing up my favorite consoles were always Nintendo made. My third favorite franchise was Sonic. But despite all the love I gave to Nintendo and Sega their were three big franchises I loved on the PlayStation, these titles were Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon and Twisted Metal.
In my teen years I was given a PlayStation and I bought all the Spyro's and Crash games availible. I loved Spyro and beat all of his games completely. I also loved to play Crash from time to time when I wasn't playing my N64. These two titles were for me the biggest franchises I wanted to play and own a PlayStation for.
However when Vivendi took over and began releasing Crash and Spyro games for the other consoles, I was alright with the first game from Spyro and Crash respectively. However the quality of the franchises quickly faded. I got more and more upset with every Spyro and Crash title until I stopped buying them altogether.
Then the news that Activision was merging with Vivendi Universal made headlines and I was extatic. I wanted to see what Activision would do with Spyro and Crash. However I may be wrong but I don't think they've released a single title for the two franchises.
So do you think Activision will bring us new Spyro and Crash games? If they do will they return the franchises to their routes and make them AAA games again. Or will they fail to create decent titles and see them bomb like Vivendi's games did? Or will Activision just let Spyro and Crash die by not releasing any new installments?
