Why did Naughty Dog and Insomniac Games stop making Crash Bandicoot

They both wanted to move on to new projects and free themselves from Universal's grasp.

>>384091996
Universal sold the IPs to Activision.

>>384091996
They made the games but they didn't own the rights.

>>384091996
A youtube video told me insomniac stopped making spyro, because they thought they did everything they could with the character

>>384091996
IIRC they just wanted to make games with guns.

Also many people leave the devs as new meat comes in, in ND's case it's all pretentious story-driven SJW's now and Insomniac is probably CoDfags and Marvelfags.

this
they were hired to do a trilogy of those games

When making the game isn't enough...

>crash remakes happened
>spyro statue and PS image usage

I'm legitimately hopeful they're remake his games next, followed by decent new entries if both series are successful.

>>384091996
Crash was because the contract ran out with Universal (who was the actual owner of the IP).

Spyro on the other hand was a pretty good reason. Insomniac said that the quadrupedal nature of the character made it difficult for them to explore new ideas and mechanics with the character, which I kind of agree with.

>>384095084
Their only argument was
>Spyro can't hold a gun

>>384091996
Crash Bandicoot targeted your youth
Jak & Daxter targeted your teens
Uncharted targeted you maturing into an adult

>>384096109
>Uncharted targeted you maturing into an adult
How?

>>384091996
Naughty Dog didn't own the IP for Crash.

Spyro was never THAT popular so moving on made sense.

>>384095084
That's like saying that Mario can't make more games about running and jumping because he only has one head.

The real question is the decisions behind Universal/Activision so badly mishandling the Crash IP as to kill it off for so long. Naughty Dog isn't the only company capable of making a good Crash game yet nobody else did

>>384094153
We'll probably get a Spyro Trilogy remaster considering how well Crash has been doing.

>>384096156
Because.. it was adult themed anon?

>>384096530
It's pretty crazy. What was Wrath of Cortex was like 10-11 months of Traveller's Tales having to rush up a Warped clone because the original Mark Cerny plans fell apart, and Activision was content to pump out cheap spinoffs until the Radical era killed the franchise for like six-seven years.

Still wish Crash Landed had gone forward though.

You obviously haven't seen the new Spyro statue being made.

>>384096638
And Skylander dying. I think they might be put on annual rotation of Crash/Spyro/dying embers of Skylanders. They're a fucking massive studio with a dying cashcow

>>384096938
Oh shit nigga

>>384095968
>Crash can
Crash bandihood when

>>384097293
IM GONNA KILL CORTEX

Ratchet & Clank was the next step and they did a great job. They fucked up Jak & Daxter but Uncharted was ok.
