After 4 they were sent to the COD mines, stayed there for a while, then Microsoft bought all of Activison, TfB went indie but now working on Spyro 4 for Microsoft.
considering they currently own rare, blizzard, and activision mascots yeah they own IP's with actual legacy. the issue is none of those IP's have had any actual talent behind them in eons and likely still don't. literally just ask some indie studio with even the slightest competence to make a new banjo and they've got a fricking gold mine but I'm sure we're more likely to get a perfect dark netflix series where joanna is recasted with a fat black chick instead because the industry is a steaming pile of fricking shit right now
recapturing their old audiences does not lead to unprecedented growth and thus is not deemed to be ultra-profitable, only regularly profitable, which is basically total bankruptcy. they need to have all effort directed towards pursuing a new audience of people that do not actually exist instead
Where does it sa that these sales are a success exactky?
And if it sold so much, why didnt any of this "success" transfer over to crash team rumble?
And if theyre so successful, why did TFB get axed and chopped off microsoft?
>kills the franchise >DLC sold as a full game bombs >TFB put on COD >Activision bought by Microsoft >but some random twitterBlack person says it sold well nearly half a decade later that means its success
You are acting as though Activision made any good choices ever; or that Microsoft buying Activision wasn't the best thing to happen to that company in two decades. You're an idiot.
Besides; Toys for Bob get to do whatever they want now.
do you think they knew it would kill the franchise so they made 100%ing it take so long that by the time you're done we might be in the nostalgia/revival mood again
>No, they fully committed to the "dark souls of platformers" meme and were convinced of their own talent and competence.
I'm convinced that a lot of the TFB staff was autistic furries and they made a game for themselves to play. >hide gems in places that are off camera or in death holes, and you literally need to trial and error, or read a wiki, to find them all >feel really smart and clever grabbing a gem that you hid yourself
sales don't equal success.
It sold well because it was a part of a beloved franchise and marketed and hyped as a "true sequel", and many where disapointed in it leaving their relation with the franchise sour. add to this the present failure of that moba game.
Now fans are more wary of this franchise unwilling to just blindly buy any potential sequels.
>HAHA TOO BAD WE ALREADY GOT YOUR MONEY SO ITS A HUGE SUCCESS
pay no mind to the fact that the game was given away for free on PS Plus and each download counts as a """sale""" which made $0, and it's also in the $19 bargain bill at walmart so people will randomly buy it for their kids to shut them up
>had another game in the series release after it >"n-no, that doesn't count..." >sold 5 million copies >"n-no, that doesn't count..."
What's the next cope?
It certainly killed my interest in future Crash games
Remind me again of what happened to toys for bob?
Making a new Spyro right now
After 4 they were sent to the COD mines, stayed there for a while, then Microsoft bought all of Activison, TfB went indie but now working on Spyro 4 for Microsoft.
Well do you see a sequel in the works or did the team get canned and the studio absorbed by Microsoft?
>studio absorbed by Microsoft?
The studio actually became independent
That's the team, Activision was the studio
And now show me how many of those were at full price
Is is weird how Xbox basically has better IPs than Nintendo and Playstation now and they are still at third place
>Xbox basically has better IPs than Nintendo
Holy shit youre moronic
Tendie are you upset? You will never play palworld

Considering how countless anons have come up with ways for Xbox to become relevant again, why cant Xbox do it?
recapturing their old audiences does not lead to unprecedented growth and thus is not deemed to be ultra-profitable, only regularly profitable, which is basically total bankruptcy. they need to have all effort directed towards pursuing a new audience of people that do not actually exist instead
Remind me, how many years has Nintendo milked the same franchises? Oh yeah basically their entire existence.

its like a studio of CWCs and Ullillilias
What the frick are either of you two talking about? Crash 4 is fantastic; it's on par with Crash 1; it's easily better than 2 or 3.
Toys for Bob made a Crash game between than two Naughty Dog games.
>Crash Bandicoot still sells millions
Neat
Crash 4 is pretty good.
Furries deserve to be killed and dumped into mass graves.
Then they followed-up with this.
>a cartoon bat in a game about collecting mangos
>let's put obvious tit binders on it for no reason

Not hard numbers = Don't care

No
