Tekken 7 and Arms.

Wow.
So Crash won in a slow month where the only thing it was up against was a new IP on a new system with a small install base compared to the PS4 and a console port of a several years old arcade 1v1 fighting game catering to a niche market?

Yup. This is huge. Huuuuge.
Long live the return of the mascot platfomer guys!

Spoiler

so how many copies did you sell Activision? Be honest...

 

[jjonez18]

There goes any hope for a Naughty Dog developed and Sony owned Crash Bandicoot. Those rights just got expensive as fuck again.

Let the Crash Bandicoot factory re-open.

Pinning it now. A Crash game every Fall for the next 10 years.

 

[BrianRoyale]

Seems like Spryo could do similar success. Skylanders is winding down, kids know Spyro from that and others from his original games. Could be a big multiplatform release and Activision could make more of that sweet, sweet money.

My son would love it.

 

[DriftingSpirit]

why don't more companies pander to the millennials love of nostalgia?
Nintendo finally got on board with the NES classic but then after it sold well above expectations they said "nah fam thats enough of that"

That is a good question. Sure, they should really see if that nostalgia is big enough to invest in but I do think there are several franchises that could be fairly big, or at least successful, if they return.

Fantastic effort! I wonder how digital stacked up, one of those sales was mine.

This is important too. I really want to see the digital share.

It sold faster than Horizon in the UK.

 

[HStallion]

IMHO Crash is still a shit game series, it's just that PS4 lacks for quality mascot type platformers.

That's a lot of salt to be putting on your crow.

Sooo this is a strong sign that people want to see remasters of classics. I wonder which classic IP will get the remaster treatment.

*Coughs* Onimusha.

 

[tusken77]

I had it on Day 1. Knew it would sell very well, but racking up those kind of numbers in just 2 days?? That's N.Sane.

 

[Ethelwulf]

N.sane numbers.

 

[BassForever]

Nostalgia is a hell of a drug, in 5 years crash will be dead again cause activison will bury him in more garbage games

Your tears give me life

 

[Jay Sosa]

Now I'm really curious to see what they could make out of a mordern Crash game. I mean I guess they could try and play it safe and just make Crash 4 as a direct sequel to 3 with the same gameplay, but I'd like to see them do something new and ambitious. A sandbox type open Crash could be interesting.

the

fuck

Hell let's make it also a shooter while we're at it. Worked out perfectly for Jak'n'Dexter, didn't it.

You're working for a video game company, aren't you..

eh, Spyro was alright but nowhere near as popular as Crash. Not that I wouldn't love to see a remaster. Like I said, the more 3D JnR, the better.

Hell, I'd even play a remaster of Jersey Devil.

You really need to let it go man. I'm sorry The remake kicked your dog by actually performing well and being a good game that's actually being praised. You just need to accept that your dog is forever gonna have that bandicoot's foot firmly imprinted in the dogs ass for life.

 

[PantsuJo]

It's time for my CTR

Also: Yum, the delicious tears from haters.
So salty.

so you somehow missed SM64DS, OOT3D, SF643D, ALBW, MM3D, Mario Maker, NES Remix, etc?

The classic systems weren't that profitable apparently. It was to raise mindshare, which it did.

 

[Nephtes]

This is just embarassing

I agree.
When a superior athelete comes along and wastes the competition that had no business competing and then the superior athelete makes a press release about how superior it is for destroying those other competitors in an exhibition match that doesn't count... Yeah...

Now if this had happened in September. That's a story.

I'm not one of the people saying the game would do poorly...
I'm just not impressed without actual sales numbers when a game wins a month in the middle of summer when games don't typically release.

What am I letting go exactly?
I think the post you quoted was my second comment in a Crash Bandicoot related thread... Ever?

Come on people. I like Crash Bandicoot as much as the next person, but show me some numbers Activision...
Did it surpass 1 million copies?

Ahem it wasn't even the best remaster collection released in June!

 

[bionic77]

I don't think the game aged well, though at that time I absolutely loved Crash 2 and thought it was one of the best games of the generation.

That said I hope this leads to more platformers on every system.

It could be the best selling game of the entire year and you'd probably be telling us how its not as impressive as GTAV and Minecraft's sales.

Isn't Tekken the 2nd if not the biggest fighting game franchise in terms of sales?

Smash, injustice, SF, MK come to mind without thinking too much. There might be more.

That's only one company. The person posting said they wished more companies did that. Do you think there is a major difference in 1 vs 2 for them? Like when it's only one they wished there was more, but when there's two the field has a ton of diversity and companies participating?

I'll legit never understand why this incredibly inoffensive franchise of all existing ones on the market is the one to generate so much salt amongst Manchildren on GAF.

You'd think it made Nintendo went bankrupt just going by gaf responses.

no.
He said nintendo only stated doing it with NES Classic, and then stopped.
I pointed out they've been doing it for a long time, and then why the NES classic was not long term.

 

[Nocturnowl]

Hopefully this will cause...
1) A new Crash from VV where they can start taking the core base further than the original trilogy while retaining the overall style
2) some folks to consider the 3D platforming mascot thing worthwhile, give me more, cheers

People unfortunately are stuck in the 90s and have that lame Console War mentality.

They just can't accept it that it's doing so well.

You don't have to own any of those games I mentioned to be looking silly with your comments.

 

[Apenheul]

Crash isn't for me personally, but if this means more medium budget platformers then Crash selling this well is good news to me!

 

[jmizzal]

Maybe the interest into remasters or remakes will increase after this.

DO IT ROCKSTAR

Tekken has sold more copies than either of those franchises. Tekken 3 is actually the second most selling fighting game behind Smash Brawl.

How can one person be so salty lmao

Yup, asking for actual sales figures from Activision is equivalent to showing my ass. Funny... No one mentioned that when we asked Activision for Destiny sales figures...

Continue the pile on about the salt though... Since...there is none.
Where have I ever badmouthed the Bandicoot prior to or even in this thread?
I don't even have animus towards this game. I'll probably buy it when it's on sale in December.
