Fans campaigning to get Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon into PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale as DLC

When did people not want them in the game?

I wish them luck in this endeavour

Is there any evidence in game history that shows fans have the power we think/wish we have?

I'd like to think these kinds of things work, but the only evidence I have for fan input working for FGs is the early Unity poll before UMvsC3, in which the CAPCOM side matched fan requests almost exactly.

I hope they use the older version of Spyro... the new one looks like a goblin.... But I will be fine with it either way.

@3
I guess Kat being DLC would fit as evidence, as far as PSAS goes.

The SFIV updates? maybe, Skullgirls getting any DLC would be another i'd say, and as you said, the majority of Ultimate's Capcom roster additions.

if these iconic characters get put in the game I might get it just for fun.

I started the campaign. We've received 500 unique tweets(probably well over that for multiples to get the point across). Our thread on Playstation forums has become top Kudeod thread on Playstation forums. We've received mentions on Playstation Lifestyle, JunkieMonkeys, Pushsquare. We have posts on Neogaf, N4G, Cheapassgamer, we've even received temporary support from the Smash Bros. community (before our thread was removed). Please spread the message and instead of giving us a simple "I wish you guys luck," try and participate, one tweet a day if you can. A twitter account takes a minute to create. Tweet @AtviAssist @SonySantaMonica @SethKillian @ToddPapy #ListentothefanActivision, and simply add a request for Crash and Spyro in your tweet. Thank you, spread the word.

Of course people want these characters cause there were mascots of the PS1 era. How can you have a smash brothers type game and not have the main mascot of your past system. NO CRASH, NO CAST BTW.

Whoops Double Post.

Well all I can say for Crash and Spyro, is that Activision may not even say yes to both Crash and Spyro unless if some crazy demands from Activision happens.

Crash has a very slim chance he might appear and its going to be hard luck to see him, while Spyro on the other hand might have no chance at all since getting Crash was hard enough and Spyro is no longer the main character of the Skylanders series.

When comes to appearences Crash and Spyro will not appear in their classic looks. Since certain Playstation characters & certain third characters have their looks based off recent games example Sweet Tooth (Twisted Metal PS3), Hero Cole & Evil Cole (Infamous 2), Dante (DmC 2013), Heihachi (Tekken Tag Tournament 2) etc. So expect to see Crash (Crash: Mind over Mutant, or that poster found on this link)

Maybe Spyro (Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure)

All I can say is let see what Activision will say, and what outcome will it be for Crash and Spyro.

@8 Sorry to burst the bubble but Crash isn't the main mascot, sure he is an iconic history. However the main mascot that actually started Playstation is Polygon Man before he disappear in history, plus Playstation USA had multiple mascots the only main mascot is Toro from Playstation Japan (which too bad USA didn't follow that mascot). All I can say Crash is nothing like Mario and Playstation Allstars is not like Super Smash Bros. (JPN: Dairanto Smash Brothers).

I hope Activison realises that people are throwing money at their screens for this, not like them to ignore that. They could put he two in the same pack and wouldn't have to share the royalties.

i want crash and spyro as much as the next guy but if Activision wants to be corporate @@@ holes than i say let them. i'll just refuse to buy their dog-@@@@@ games and laugh in their faces when it comes time to renew the license for crash again.

@11
polygon was NEVER the face of playstation. he was a prototype
for the system but was scrap later in development.
here is a video by naughty dog that explaining why crash and mario are like rivals and why crash is consider the face of playstion 1.

"The objective of the campaign is to convince Activision"

"... objective"

"... convince Activision"

"... Activision"

Sorry guys, I'm practically crying right now from laughter. Not because of the objective, but because of the wishful thinking that Activision is a company that actually listens to their customers. And everyone who embarks in such crusade deserves nothing but my respect.... and the best of luck in the world, because what's most likely to happen is that the magnificent imbeciles at Activision will flip their corporate middle fingers at them and shut the door on their faces.

But hey, if they're so decided to do it, then do it. We're nobody to stop them.

Makes you wonder why Activision doesn't want them in the game. Namco, Capcom, 2K Games, Konami and now EA jumped in the band wagon. Why not Activision with not one, but two characters?

@14 I didn't say he was the face, its just in the early days he started as a mascot for the consoles pre-launch ads. That was until Ken Kutaragi took Polygon Man down from his mascot days, when his design wasn't Gouraud shaded, he was Flat shaded.

I get what your saying about Crash even when he was the reasons for Playstation's sales, however the reason I said Crash is nothing like Mario was because of gaming history. Like Mario was still the mascot of Nintendo, while Crash on the other hand Naughty Dog no longer developing Crash, however Crash series still continues but Crash would no longer be the main face of Playstation when Universal's publishing deal with Sony has ended. When time was pasting by Crash was involved with other consoles not just Playstation but also Xbox consoles and Nintendo consoles including other handhelds, that was later when Universal (also known as Vivendi Universal Games) got merged with Activision as we know today which now known as Vicarious Visions.

I do get that Crash was another memory to gaming history like Mario, Sonic, Banjo-Kazooie etc.

Wish the fans luck we got Kat in here with demand so I hope this works and Activision can hear the cries

@ Kat got in because we asked for it.

It was the best selling vita game to date. End of story. We had nothing to do with her in the game.

@ Twitter campaign

Prepare for failure

Remember everyone, $ony is a company and needs to make money... How else are they going to sell Playstation Battle 2 to everyone.

They'll throw in 10 new characters (spyro & crash included) and all of you WILL pay another $60 for the privilege of playing as them.

DLC would be the best way to go seeing as the PS4 will be out this Christmas so maybe next spring you'll have Crash and Spyro added...

If not by then, then guess what; your going to throw down $600 for a NEW Console plus another $60 for Playstation Battle 2 and be damn happy about it.

And like every other on-line petition, this will accomplish two things: Jack and Squat.

I'm usually very optimistic about this sort of thing but companies like Activision don't listen to their fans, comment #15 put it best, we'd have a better chance at getting Sonic the hedgehog than Crash or Spyro and even if Activision did have interest in adding content into this game it'd likely be a Call of Duty soldier.

i'll be happy with only four more characters, Spyro, Crash, Lara Croft and Wander. 'nuff Said.

They should add an FF character... Just because most of the roster is boring. Not even a huge ff7 fan I'd still rather see cloud over many of their current roster and dlc choices. I do enjoy kat though.

Loved spyro when I was a kid, no argument against including him.

And while I haven't played much crash. The few I have played were awesome, he is definitely an icon. And my friend might actually take interest in this game (until we net the next smash game) if they include crash

Iconic Playstation characters in your Playstation themed fighter? Why when you can have multiplatform giants like Isaac Clarke?

They need characters like Spyro, Crash, and even Lara Croft(instead of that wannabe Drake). What would Smash have been without Link or Mario??

Who the hell cares about Crash and Spyro they look stupid AF.

Bring in Final Fantasy characters, and Wesker.

This is still going on. Are you kidding!? Ugh why are Sony fans this annoying. Its not gonna do well even if they have their precious characters.

Enough with the stupid 3rd party characters already! Do you know how dumb it sounds to have multiple 3rd party characters in a Playstation game that did horrible. Like, Wesker? You must be joking.

@25 & 27 In order to have a Final Fantasy character, Square Enix needs to say yes and also heard that Square Enix was hard to work with.

@26 Well Activision are the reasons you'll never see Crash & Spyro, with Lara Croft her futures as DLC is still unknown.

@28 About a Playstation game that you say it did horrible is actually your opinion. Honestly fans in general will always wish for the simple things they think of, but in the end results they shouldn't hold their breath. But if you have a problem with Playstation Allstars, why not use a news filter? You can use a news filter for Playstation Allstars.

Yup, I know. But I'm just saying they should try anyway if they're making the effort for others.

I heard Lara was "planned" , dont know where the post is now though. Besides, isn't she also square Enix now? Not a big fan of her new look.

I personally believe that Spyro, Crash and Lara Croft were very but VERY big on the PS1. They should all make it in the game. I mean, Tomb Raider sold a lot, but A LOT of PS1 over the world cause people wanted to play her game.

@30
Yeah I think she is being made. Square Enix basically said that when All-Stars got announced the new face of Lara was already announced therefore they couldn't make the old Lara appear in the game. Also they kinda said that they weren't gonna do like Dante, that DMC hadn't even come out and he was already in the game, they basically said wait till the new Tomb Raider comes out. Im a personal BIG fan of Lara Croft (the original one) but if we have to make sacrifices for her to be in the game... Ohh well, give me an original Lara costume and im okay..

@30 Well all it takes one approve message. The possible Final Fantasy characters is Cloud who had multiple rumors and a certain info that he was suppose to appear in the "Michael" Trailer, however he was removed due the fact that they couldn't make Cloud's costume look good. Another is Lighting, there is a possible chance that Square might push Lighting in the game to relate with their new game coming out she also was in the "Michael" Trailer.

For Lara she is part of Square Enix, but also Crystal Dynamics team is the ones working on Tomb Raider (2013). Shes another plausible along with the Final Fantasy characters.
