And that's if we're lucky. Pray that Activision didn't charge Nintendo through the nose for Crash like they did with Sony, or worse, instead pushed for a Call of Duty or Overwatch rep instead.
I'm pretty curious about your icon, could you please tell me what it's based on?
Considering the franchise in general is the third best selling game franchise (only behind Mario and Tetris), I think it's safe to say the franchise is popular, even then I agree that the multiplayer aspect has become more compelling to Activision than the actual story.
Activision only cares about making the most amount of money possible. That's why their entire focus is on Call of Duty and little else. Idk why they even made the new Crash, Spyro, and Tony Hawk games in the first place. It felt like there were people that actually cared about games at Activision for a second there, but either they lost the power they had or left the company. Leaving only the greediest execs in charge.
even so having 9 studios all working on the same 1 or 2 games just doesn't seem like the best move. This feels like there are just too many cooks in the kitchen.
Word on the street is that Call of Duty 2021, which will be an alternate history game where World War 2 continues into the 50's and 60's and be called Vanguard is shaping to be a train wreck similar to say Anthem, Fallout 76, and Cyberpunk. Activision supposedly already got a road to recovery map in place as they refuse to delay the game to 2022. Seems like Vanguard being such a disaster in the making and their continuing support for Warzone, Cold War, and Modern Warfare are likely why they have all of their studios working on cod now.
Not really. DoD doesn't fund COD (as that would require approval from a bunch of people outside of DoD), but rather they often have some say over how the military is depicted in the games and often work with the devs on the details of various weapons and gadgets used in war.
Must have misread then, or the person I read it from got it all wrong.
I've heard those rumors on Twitter. It seems Activision has WAY over-extended on the franchise and now has no easy way of getting out.
If they don't go bankrupt, then it's sustainable. If they do, then it's not. It's kinda like the witch trials, where both outcomes are pretty bad...
Crash negotiations happened way before the decision to move TfB to Call of Duty was even conceptualized. This should have no bearing on his odds of getting in.
It really isn't, but they produce boatloads of money because people buy them willy nilly, which Activision and every other company need to survive on their budgets. Without actual sales numbers or rankings, the best we know is that Crash 4 did "ok" compared to N. Sane Trilogy hitting #4 of its month of release with only a single day of sales.
It's KOF (Terry's partial game of origin) fanart.
EVERY ONE IS HERE.
No need to apologize for this. These news are legitimately infuriating. I've never had any interest in COD but after this I think I'm slowly starting to hate it. I'm so worried about Crash and Spyro's future right now. For once I thought that these two beloved franchises were back for real and that they wouldn't leave us, and then Activision pulls this up.
Yes, but I'm referring to after Smash Ultimate.
That is what I was thinking too. I fear he may not get in another Smash Bros. game, even if he gets into this one.
Counterpoint: Activision likes making money. Smash Bros is an easy way to make money.
Maybe, but
magiciandude
did say after Ultimate. With what is happening now, there may be no guarantee he is in the next Smash game, even if he IS in Ultimate.
Oh wow, I remember having a toy of the Noid back when I was like six... This is random as all hell though...
Hi there. I thought you were leaving permanently, or just needed a break?
After thinking on it longer, I just decided to take a break from all things Smash for several days. My blow-up was really out of line, and I'm sorry for that. I feel a lot better now, and I'll do my best to not get that angry again.
Good to know. Glad you decided to stay! We would have missed you!
Aww, thanks. That means a lot!
No problem, my friend!Aww, thanks. That means a lot!
Don't forget, you're here forever...
As funny as that is (I actually didn't know about that one), I wouldn't want to remove any character from this roster. It's too damn good!
I mean I’d happily use mods to add more music, but I don’t want to risk a ban from the eshop
Which wouldn't be bad. I think Crash in Smash would be better than a Crash 5 at this point.
I really hate Activision...
1. Guys, Sony wasn't able to get Crash in PSASBR because the game had a poor budget. The fact that they got only third party characters from recent games and the fact that we got donte instead of Dante says a lot about the kind of budget they were working with.
Never really thought of it that way. Hopefully this is what is happening and not the darkest timeline.
