Naughty Dog are known for their work on some big PlayStation exclusive video game series, Uncharted, Crash Bandicoot and others. Are you aware of the fact that once Naughty Dog wanted to add a “Crash Bandicoot” game inside an Uncharted game? Yes, the creative minds at Naughty Dog once had a discussion on it but gave up the idea because “Crash Bandicoot” is not their title, Sony doesn’t own it.

Our friend at AV Club asked Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End Director, Bruce Straley: If you were to embed a playable retro title into your game, what would it be and why?

And to this Bruce replied:

“Well, there’s actually been a conversation about if it were at all possible—which it’s not, let me emphasize—but we wanted to put a Crash Bandicoot game inside. Not gonna happen, though. Don’t worry. “

When quizzed further: Certain people would’ve loved that, though.

Bruce explained the reason behind why this won’t become a reality in today’s time/scenario:

“Yeah. It’s not our title. Sony doesn’t own it, so we don’t have control.”

“A playable Crash Bandicoot title in Uncharted”, this sounds mind blowing, i just hope Sony/Activision go for some sort of small deal and bring this feature to life.
