[@Kingmationproductionz]

True but sonic pretty much makes up for it due to being a very profitable franchise in all areas, sadly I think 1 of crashes problem is that it’s primarily stuck as a video games franchise and for some reason, Activision canceled the TV show and I’m not sure if that rumor of a movie was real but so that too the franchise just need better management when it comes to other media

[@thatguynobodywants3716]

The N. Sane Trilogy sold 20 million in 7 years in total. Crash 4 sold 5 millions in a span of 4 years. Meaning that those many of those copies were sold on discounted prices on their total lifetime up until now, not necesarily at complete full price. The latest public report on the last big game of the Sonic Franchise "Frontiers" sold 3 million on 6 months. And we are talking about Activision selling that amount in that long time span is an absolute failure to them, if the game doesn't sell 50 million in such little amount of time it's an inmediate failure to them. Or even of they sold good that doesn't make the developers inmunne to being sent to the COD mines or the Blizzard cesspools, remember Vicarious Visions?

[@Zohlr6_i]

Tell that to the company that supposed to work on Crash. Crash should turn back for who actually creat the game and do actually care for it which is Noughty dog.

[@DrRank]

A good parallel to "the Crash 5 that never was" would be the Circle 7 version of Toy Story 3. When Pixar first started making feature-length films, they had a contract with Disney to make seven films with them. After the release of Cars in 2006, that contract had been fulfilled and Disney formed a new studio called Circle 7 to focus on CGI projects. Several of these projects were Pixar sequels, including Toy Story 3, Monsters, Inc. 2 and Finding Nemo 2. However, the studio was shut down in 2007 and all of their projects were shelved, and when Pixar made their own sequels, they didn't even glance at the Circle 7 versions.

[@8bitdiedie]

@@NekoNick2770 It is just a fact that sonic isn’t at the peak it was in the 90s. The fans can cry about it all they want but when was the last time a sonic game was a legit contender for best game of the year? Cause in the 90s that was a common occurrence, whereas nowadays it’s considered a big deal if the new sonic game is playable without too much jank. The sonic fans infantilize their own series from having higher standards. The fact the best received sonic game of the last 2 decades is fan-made (mania) sorta speaks for itself. So no, the series ain’t dead but it’s a shell of its former self and the fact the fans get so defensive about it and can't take criticism contributes to that.

[@crashtefano]

Crash Team Rumble started development sometime while It's About Time was being developed and it reportedly was postponed up to June 2023 because the pandemic happened and Activision wanted Toys for Bob at work supporting their precious Call of Duty like every other studio. There couldn't be a Crash Bandicoot 5 in that amount of time and Crash Team Rumble couldn't possibly affect any project for a potential mainline Crash game. It was a harmless multiplayer spin-off game that just so happened to be nothing like what the average Crash Bandicoot fan asked for. We don't even have actual sales data supporting this crazy idea that Crash Team Rumble performed so bad it singlehandedly killed the series.

@@space.pirate481 They went independent THIS YEAR in February. And we've known there was Crash 4 and a Crash PvP (CTRumble) in the works.. but the Pandemic threw everything out the window and held up the pipeline for a lot of games in the works including CoD. And Activision always launches a new CoD game every year, it's their main source of revenue. Which would mean they've probably been working on 3 CoD games between 2020 - 2023 until the merger was finalized... Cut to this year in 2024, Bobby Kotick (former CEO) leaves the company at the start of the new year and two months later, Toys for Bob goes Independent and breaks free from Activision and is working with Microsoft on a project. The loss of the supposed Crash 5 is unfortunate, but there isn't much we can do now since this cancellation was probably BEFORE the Microsoft merger was finalized.

Makes me think of the Crash Twinsanity that never was in comparison. Sure, we _got_ Twinsanity, and it was good, but what could have been was so much better. Of course, ideas scrapped because of shifting schedules aren't really "gone"... who knows, the Crash 5 that's being referred to could very well be reborn as a reality. Just... nowhere near as soon as originally intended.

I can't believe I fell for fake news again.

I wish Nintendo owned Crash and Spyro they would look after it!

The way online journalism works its mostly by people who are underpaid, and given insane quotas to fill. They are not trying to inform they're trying to make a living and farm clicks.

[@rush5rider]

I can't believe it! The crash Bandicoot tv series was later canceled. Before production then the fifth crash game come on Activision I hope you don't cancel spyro

Amazing video! You upgrade in quality each time! An exemple being, the switch to face cam and not only audio. Like that, we can see your reactions and Oh boy the reactions in this video was entertaining! Keep it up! Love from Montréal!

If it makes you feel better, not reporting the news accurately seems pretty par for the course in most industries 😅

[@Potadel]

This reminded me of the “ps5 is dead” news months back. Basically the article said the ps5 sold 24m out of the expected 25m units sold and many journalists and people thought Sony is making no games for it because of the other news of Sony not making “sequels” of current IPs

[@jennifergriel861]

Thank you for the clarification. I had a feeling these tweets didn't necessarily mean what everyone was saying they did but wasn't sure.

[@erindelgado9639]

Not a big deal as Crash I assume is on break as game development takes a while and I bet the next game will be on hold. As I would be more open for a new Spyro game.

[@V0idedOut-E33]

I mean, it could have been amazing. A whole new worlds of adventure. An evolution even. But also , maybe it's for the best that we didn't see it come to light. After all, it could have also very easily been a Twinsanity too. Edit: To those of you who picked up on the references, cheers. "Worlds" is referring to the working title of Crash Bandicoot: Wrath of Cortex by traveller's tales and Evolution being the design doc/script that would eventually become Twinsanity after what can only be described as 9 circles of development hell.
