The crash series died along time ago. I personally think people just need 2 get over it.

Maybe, but at the same time it was once a great IP, so it would be reasonable to suggest that if done right, it could be great again, correct?

the series died 15 years ago when naughty dog stopped making the crash games. If it has'nt been done right for that long,I pretty much think it's a lost cause.

Well, by the amount of folks who seem interested, I'd say it's worth a gamble. Especially if Sony can pick it back up, and put Naughty Dog on it.

Well they did sell the franchise to Activision ages ago to get out of bankruptcy. it must be hard letting go. Wouldn't be surprised if the next Crash game is a multiplatform title coming to everything including the Xbox One and Wii U.

I think youre mistaken.

again,that's just a dream. Not going to happen. Activision is'nt going to sell the rights. I don't think even sony cares enough.

No, Universal Interactive Studios owned the IP, it was the publisher. When ND got loose of Universal and went to Sony, they couldn't get the IP from Universal, who were bought by Vivendi who was later merged with Activision.

Edit: Sierra Entertainment also had something to do with it, can't remember the exact details though.

Yep.
