It all makes sense now. Activision really no longer owns rights like that woman told Jeri in call. She did not know it was supposed to be secret so Activision made a cover-up story. Truth is, Sony owns the rights now. I mean if they did not, why would they include his cameo here. They would have to pay a lot of money to Activision for small cameo if they did not. Just how Nintendo paid Square Enix for Geno cameo in Superstar Saga.

Or maybe Activision are simply partnering with Sony so resources for a new Crash game can work?

Or, maybe it is literally a cameo. I'm not even sure if they would need to pay a bucket load to simply put a silhouette of existing artwork on a sign.

Time will tell, but I really wish for Activision to lose rights to both Crash and Spyro.
Skylanders can end for all I care or they can just take Spyro out and make his figure not work with future games in series. Swap Force is failure anyways, and I care 0% for Skylanders now. First 2 were only good ones and it was clear to me that after Giants, the series would become a cash cow.
And Crash did not have a game at all in recent years so it is clear that they do not know how to use his character. That woman from Activision really said something weird, and I think there is more to that story then just a misunderstanding.

Well, technically, Crash got a game about two and a half years ago - Crash Nitro Kart 2 - this was an iOS game though.

But yeah, it's been a while since the last main title.

An announcement form? Gee, I'd love to see that!

Hehe, sorry if I'm being a little bit of a grammar nazi, that one was one I just felt compelled to take advantage of.

Anyways, I look forward to seeing what they have to say.

Ehh, I'm going to sound petty again...that Crash is badly placed in the thumbnail, it looks horrible.

Welp, the big announcement was Uncharted, so...this Crash sign may just be an easter egg after all (though the placement of that orange diamond still bothers me).

Uncharted was announced this morning. They said they will bring back old franchise. Uncharted is not that old and last game was released for Vita like a one year ago.
Look at this again:

"Just heard Kevin Pereira on the DeathSquad podcast leak some info regarding one of the big surprises tonight. He said it has to do with bringing back one of the biggest Sony exclusives, and has to do with space...I'm drawing blanks, y'all have any ideas what the announcement could be?
Link to the podcast for anyone wanting to check it out."

Uncharted is not in space. Crash on the other hand had a space levels.

Maybe so, but the leak seems to imply that space is the primary setting, as we all probably know, Crash is set primarily on a set of fictional isles near Australia.

Ratchet and Clank would be my first guess if he did not have any recent games soon.

Ratchet and Clank just got a game release just now, would seem a little quick to suddenly hear of another, I guess time will tell what will come of it.

Unless they want to make a Crash game that is actually Super Mario Galaxy 3/Sonic Lost World 2. :V

In all seriousness, I heard the big reveal was on SpikeTV, and the game they ended up revealing was Uncharted. So I don't know at this point.

Maybe, though as much as I'd like another Crash game, I'm not holding my breath. There was already a rumour about a Crash game this year, and nothing came of it yet. If I recall correctly, it was proven false.

Every rumor so far regarding Crash was fake. It's time for change.

I'm going to be the cynic, the fact that there have been so many disproven rumours and ideas in the past doesn't really help how I feel about this.

Eh, I could interpret that as many things besides Crash...in fact, if it weren't for the video title and such, I likely would not of seen him in that figure at all.
