That would seem logical except this game features a ton of third party charaters so licensing can obviousl be something they can get around. All they need to do is make a deal with Activision. Probably not as simple as that but there's a good chance he can make it.

Normally I would agree, but I have two words for you: Bobby. Kotick.

Electro UK · 08-17-2012, 09:29 AM

But Sony and Activision seem to have a healthy relationship what with CoD on Vita. I still hold faith that Crash is in and will be a big reveal.

KALEL114 · 08-17-2012, 09:40 AM

I would have more confidence if Activision themselves were making the COD game. I mean, they don't even want to talk about it. This article is pretty telling.

Activision seemed desperate to avoid awkward questions about COD's Vita debut at Gamescom yesterday, says Jason Killingsworth.

I really hope they worked something out and Crash will be there, but I am not going to raise those hopes too high.

I kinda agree. Why would they give Sony the CoD license to make the game themselves considering it is their most prized IP but not Crash which isn't that highly regarded? You'd think they'd have more of a vested interest in what an outside studio would do to CoD over Crash

KALEL114 · 08-17-2012, 10:19 AM

Money. Sony probably paid a ton to put the CoD name on their Vita game. And that's what they are getting, just the name really. If they are asking too much for the Crash character, then I can see how Sony would pass on him.

I guess that would make sense but that would be foolish on Activision's part bc it'd not like they are currently making much money on Crash

I like that idea, hopefully you guys are right and they are saving him for a big last minute reveal or a surprise boss.

LOL...at first I thought that was a really rough Drake

WolfCypher · 08-19-2012, 07:50 PM

Wow, I am really not into Sony's IP...I don't know who that is.

Its Ethan Mars from Heavy Rain

I know several people want him in this but I really dont think he'd make for much of a good playable character. I think Jayen seems like a much more adequate choice and his ARI just seems ripe for some crazy attacks

If he is in the game, then PAX Seattle would be the best time to unveil him. It starts on the August 31st. The first Crash game came out on August 31, 1996.

Superhero 101 · 08-19-2012, 10:57 PM

To me Crash symbolizes what made the PS1 so great.... and those commercials

Sony can't sell what was never theirs to begin with.

I'd be more than surprised if Crash didn't make it in the game. Considering that Sony was able to get deals in with Konami, Capcom, and Take-Two for characters that most people don't care to have in the game, obtaining the license for Crash Bandicoot from Activision should be relatively easy.

Although, Sony has taken an interest in the Crash Bandicoot franchise lately. They've been pumping the original games into as many platforms as they can and Activision has let it fall to the wayside and its value has gone down considerably. I really do wish that Sony would just buy the IP from Activision.

KALEL114 · 08-23-2012, 01:12 PM

I think it was really easy to get deals done with those three devs, because of cross promotion. Each one of those characters have related games coming out soon. That's why we get DINO and Revengance Raiden. Having Big Daddy in it could be because of Infinite, but I think he will be part of the Vita Bioshock.

Like you said, Crash has been shelved by Activision. The extra motivation isn't there and they could ask for way too much for his likeness in PSABR. Just another angle to conversation.

hippie_hunter · 08-23-2012, 03:16 PM

But I don't see Activision asking for too much though. They really see no value in the brand right now and licensing it or even outright selling it to Sony would be a way for them to at least make SOME money off of it.

Havok83 · 08-28-2012, 04:47 PM

Evil Cole is in

http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/08/...tion-all-stars

Nathan · 08-28-2012, 04:47 PM

So lame.

Havok83 · 08-28-2012, 05:04 PM

I think he looks fantastic. I think whats lame is that they are based off the same character model. If they were gonna go a good and evil route, they should have had 1 be Cole from Infamous 1 and the other from Infamous 2. OR they could have brought back the rejected original Infamous 2 model

JustABill · 08-29-2012, 05:01 AM

I like the looks of him more than his good counterpart.

Sgt.Pepper · 08-29-2012, 08:09 AM

All right, Evil Cole looks better than his good counterpart, but I still feel like it's a bit of a wasted slot having two Cole MacGraths. Perhaps it would have been better if he had been dlc. Now, if Superbot don't include Wander or Kazuma Kiryu in the game then shame on them.

Electro UK · 08-29-2012, 10:33 AM

And this week's second character is confirmed - Raiden!
