Pretty Baddass imo lol

Naughty Dog never owned the franchise.  Just as neither Insomniac nor Sony owned Spyro.  Universal Interactive owns both, and always has.

Solid Snake and Kratos are not really mascot material, it has to be more family friendly.

No, Nauty Dog is and they used to make the game before they sold it off.

And What the hell is up with your sig? Blasphemous....

well naughty dog developed crash originally.. i think they did atleast own parts of it. I read about it somewhere.. i might be completely off tho :p

In either case the franchise DIED ! horribly !

Crash Bandicoot is a platform game published by Sony Computer Entertainment and developed by Naughty Dog for the PlayStation. It was released in North America on August 31, 1996,[1] in Europe on November 1996,[2] and in Japan on December 6, 1996.[2] The game, as well as being originally released on the PlayStation, was also emulated on the PlayStation Network on December 4, 2006, through which it can be played on the PlayStation Portable and, as of Operating System update 1.70, on the PlayStation 3.[3]

Wikipedia.....a powerful thing....

The crash franchise is the sixteenth-highest selling videogame franchise selling over 40 million units. LBP wont catch up to them. Especially with how horrible games are selling today. I am extremely disappointed in Sony and Naughty Dog. It's like they have A.D.D. Sony keeps giving the torch to someone new every gen. They dont have a true selling point.

This has absolutely nothing to do with who owns the rights to the franchise.  Do a little more research on your precious Wikipedia and you'll see that Naughty Dog signed a three-game deal with Universal Interactive with the intent of expanding the company, the results of which were the first three Crash titles.  As such, Universal Interactive owned and continues to own the rights to the IP.  Also, as already mentioned, Naughty Dog did not become a subsidiary of Sony until 2001.

Sony is a kiddy console, confirmed, lol....j/k

Anyway, if LBP had been on a Nintendo console, then some of these fans you see, they would be marginalizing it as a kiddy game, that they hate to play, and they would instead be touting in Killzone 2. These are they hypocrisies of a fanboy.

If it was on 360, the one's currently marginalizing the game would probably put it towards the top of their list.

I've said it many times. I can't get this. I don't have a PS3 currently, and I don't like the look of the game enough to make me want to play it without even a rental. I do think it will sell well, and I also think it might top the gamerankings review scores, because critics would feel like hypocrites, were they to give it anything but perfect scores, after the ravings they've done over the previews.

This game, like Halo 3, and probably Fallout 3, Gears 2, and Resistance 2, are all destined to get AAA review scores, no matter how good or bad they are.

Games like RE5 are also pigeonholed as AA games only, due to their lack of innovation over the last iteration, and generalized impressions from demos, no matter how good, or bad they are. This, despite hyped games such as GTAIV, and Halo 3, which are also replicas of their previous entries, being hyped to hell and given perfect scores.

I call 'em like I see 'em, so to speak.
