I love crash bandicoot games but I tried crash team rumble and it’s the first crash game I’ve never liked. I just want a single player crash bandicoot game but I don’t think it’s going to happen for awhile
They might just sell the ip to sony because Spyro and Crash have there fan base mostly on Playstation since the ps1 day plus sony give spyro Anniversary on there Playstation Facebook page on Setember 9 so sony still care about spyro
The likely hood of Rumble support being axed is unlikely at best. I did some research and discovered a lot of the models and characters for Crash 4, Spyro Reignited, and Crash Team Rumble have been outsourced to outside modelers. For example, Cortex, Coco, Tawna, N. Gin, Brio, and Dingodile’s Crash 4 models weren’t made in house, but by a outside company (Airborn Studios). Most of the asset modeling and such is handled by outside companies that don’t have anything to do with the layoffs at all. The only thing TFB mainly had a full involvement with was the level design and programming for modes, characters, and powers. They were already outsourcing a lot of their models so the layoffs of employees might not make much of a dent.
Well the thing is the layoffs were all around instead of just hitting the art department. So there is just an overall risk and shortage of support. Overall the game’s not too successful so I fear for what’s the come in the following years. And well yeah that new Spyro’s gonna be put on hold for a bit I imagine
Overwatch 2 isn't a good comparison IMO, it is a failed project. Not only was there an entire singleplayer/co-op story that was promised when they announced it but they eventually cancelled, OW2 didn't even come close to the success of the OW1. Tons of money was spent on it for it to just end up essentially being an update to OW1. Rumble however I'm sure never had huge expectations and I doubt it cost much to develop and maintain so I don't see why it would be seen as an issue in comparison.
OW2 is not a failed project when its making bank with their store. we may hate the game but that small % of people purchasing everything from the store is massive income for the company
“Rumble never had huge expectations” than why are they making a game they know is an acquired taste? Has the bar gone this low? lol. I remember when they only made games they knew who reach a MASSIVE audience. It says a lot about the current state of Crash bandicoot where the actual people behind it know what they’re making is corporate trash.
@@keeferkifflom360i honestly dont get it cuz when making crash 4 they did research on the sales of each game and their reception, so why did they think that rumble of all things was a good idea? they even knew that the titans games werent that well liked when they came out i may not care for the game that much but even a crash bash remake or spritiual successor wouldve been a better idea.....

But I agree,live service is such an overused business model..idk why they made a Crash game like that…especially one with barely any content. Rumble is the crash equivalent of Suicide Squad kill the justice league.
@@keeferkifflom360ik its inacurate lol, TWOC sold way more copies than they reported and its still one of the best selling games in the series (it sold just over 7 mil if i recall correctly, and CoTT sold just over a million and did well enough to get a sequel), its just that the data they used shouldve given them the general idea of what ppl want and expect from a crash bandicoot game Its not rocket science to know that ppl dont want an online only live service crash bandicoot game with a battlepass, while also having no single player content or local multiplayer especially when the kind of multiplayer games the fanbase was asking for were more racing games (or a party game like bash depending on the person)
I really hope the support of Crash Team Rumble is not stopped, now that the studio has the freedom to do whatever they want they can now focus on their own things. Toys for Bob could also ask Microsoft for more people and more resources to help the game grow potentially 🙏🙏
It's over. Just look at what has been happening these last few days over at Xbox, their gaming division is an utter mess. That and the fact Toys for Bob was sliced in half. It seems like our mascots just can't find a comfortable home ever since the deals with Insomniac and Naughty ended in the PS1 days. Sony really should have purchased them while they had the chance.
The original creators already left. For Naughty Dog it was around 2004. The Last of Us/Modern Naughty Dog is not capable of doing platformer games i believe.
Game was DOA, kind of a directionless mess, seems like they were pushed to make a live service game. Live service games need a ton of players and the dumpster fire that is crash team rumble did not gain the player count to make it profitable.
Honestly, I doubt it. Looking in the files, there is evidence of Season 4 and even Season 5 in the works. (i.e. loads of unreleased cosmetics and character challenges)
Rumble is great, but I can see they have no plan beyond spyro characters. They haven’t teased any other characters and all that were teased at the start are out now
@@Chadhall1988same I hope it dosent end, it’s a chance where we can have the other bosses from the crash series to come out with there own unique abilities in this game.
I've been having issues finding people in matchmaking, specially when it comes to Party Mode and Lab Shuffle. But on top of that there's also the issue of people who seem to sabotage the games like quitting just before or during a game. I hope they continue support for this game, but they need to improve a lot of things if they want it to survive at all.
I know Phil’s probably not going to address this specifically in their update next week but I mean it’s 100% a PR move since their fanbase is so concerned rn. So hopefully they’ll have some good news to share but at the same time be transparent. The community needs honest answers rn.
I really don’t think that Crash Team Rumble will end support any time soon. I still think it really needs more improvements before going free to play. I do hope that Toys for Bob will have help from developers from Xbox to help them with Crash Team Rumble. It’s important to help these teams to work on Crash Team Rumble and future projects.
It's hard to believe that Crash Team Rumble would continue to be supported by the same company that laid off a good chunk of the people working on it...but hopefully it continues to exist for longer than On the Run did.
Every time Microsoft buys a gaming company, I tell them it's going to be a disaster, and every time they buy a gaming company, it turns out to BE a disaster!
I hope they keep supporting Crash and Spyro. I don't want these games to go dormant again. But I'm also sorry for the people who lost their jobs. I'm glad CGE is doing what he can to help them. I want them to be able to find new jobs asap.
Here's an suggestion that that could help Toys for Bob, they could start a fundraising campaign to hire new programmers and game developers so they cannot be overworked and they have to be careful who they choose they need (at least) 100 million dollars to hire staff that can maintain the online service of crash team rumble and the others can concentrate in developing Spyro 4 etc. ( P.S ) I'm not saying it will work (could work could not work)is just a suggestion. Any thoughts 🤔💭
At least there is some light at the end of the tunnel as mentioned by CGE, they already put CT Rumble on Xbox's Cloud service so for MS to just shut it down would be burning money for them and make those who have that service to feel ripped off losing trust in their consumers which they don't need right now, so if Microsoft wanted to they could've ended Crash Team Rumble and TFB a long time ago, so they seem likely here to stay for now.
Goodbye Toys For Bob and thank you for everything you did for us! Crash and Spryo are now in Xbox purgatory like Banjo thanks to lying suits like Daddy Phil! You all wanted this, now you live with it!!
Glad to see some coverage on this topic. Crazy how people were positive of this take over by Microsoft. Everything they touch turns to shit in the gaming spectrum.
Ya, don't count on Xbox/Microsoft doing anything more than fucking shit up. Bet everyone that was saying that the Microsoft buy out of Acta/blizzard was gonna be a good thing is really enjoying the taste of all that crow they are already eating and all the more crow they got to force down with all the already announced xbox exclusives that are getting PS5 ports plus whatever is said at the Microsoft thing next week.
I don't know, maybe they would give it a chance like in Fallout 76. I think is more probable they will make it free to play, or make it free for PS plus members, just like with Fallout 76. They will try to see if the game has any opportunity to exist one or two years more.
I really hope they continue crash team rumble, i want to see alot of new characters to play as like the male entrophy, cortex niece, the cheetah from spyro, angry norc from spyro, they could add in cinder or the baby trex or polar bear from crash bandicoot, they can add so many different characters to play as
Even if I never got into Crash Team Rumble, it still makes me really worried about the future of Toys for Bob considering what Microsoft has recently been doing. Glad you also did a video on Xbox’s recent downfall.
We all told you that Xbox would mess this up! But noooooooooooo the communities attacked and slandered people like me who were worried about this merger!
I actually really hope Crash Team Rumble goes free-to-play because it would show a lot of new fans the hard work all those previous employees did while still paying the current ones effectively, if successful. Then again, I'm sure Warzone and Overwatch 2 will still make things complicated since they're clearly the bigger titles in Activision that need more support just by the graphics alone. Who knows, maybe Beenox will swoop in and help out like the other CTR did 🤷♂️
Been wanting play this so badly just dont got a xbox or playstation so been patiently waiting for a steam or battlenet release to come out hopefully would also help with growing the fanbase
I had hopes for a pc release for both this and CTR NF, but at this point I get the feeling the online spinoff games are gonna remain console exclusive. We're never gonna see a pc release for both games.
Are you not worried more that Microsoft might cause issues for Spyro 4? Why is there so much noise about Crash when there have been far more games made so IMHO people should be happy about this? Sorry, I'm a hard-core Spyro fan and can't wait for #4. Keep up the good work good sir!
From what we know, hundreds of people in Activision Blizzard were laid off their jobs. And Toys For Bob is among the companies that a number of those people belong to. Other companies are a part of this right? Now, chances are not every subsidiary of Activision Blizzard had people let go. What if there's one of the companies which everyone still works and that company is developing Spyro 4?
@@ChristianLakhan Thank you. Yes, I did hear about the layoffs which has fuelled my skepticism about Spyro 4 being released this year... I'm just itching for it to be made available!
im still so so disappointed for the lay offs.. and now the worrying begins about anything they were working on... i feel lied to, and i feel like that's probably how all of blizzard and the rest of that team feels too.. like... can't something be done about that. That's just so horrible.
It up to Microsoft rather they sell the ips or keep the ips but right Microsoft doesn't care about xbox consoles sell they only care about making that money by gonna 3rd party
One word - GOOD! It's time to move on to better investments for the franchise, it's been pretty obvious since Day -1 that support for Crumble will get chopped, there is no way that they will keep flogging a dead horse season after Season. If Crash On The Run couldn't make it there is no way this shambled Crash 4 DLC will
I enjoy the game myself but just play it casually whenever the new characters are available to be unlocked through the early access. I'm hoping it stays on for at least another 6-9 months till the end of the year then keep the servers up similar to Nitro Fueled.
A few months ago, I said to various different individuals involved in the Crash community that I doubt this game will have long term success. I still stand by my opinion and given the low player base, I am almost certain that this will be the case. This game, while being a nice experiment, was guaranteed to not have as much long term success as a platformer or racing title. Did I want this game to fail? No. But do I see this game not being supported within the next 12, maximum 18 months? Yes
I miss playing Crash Team Rumble. it just got too repetitive around mid-season 2. The content doesn't make me want to come back or stay. Finances are not there to spend 15 a month to play one game. I am afraid they will end support by the end of the year at the latest. :(
Actually, there is a bigger problem now. There is a chance that Toys for Bob may closed down completely if San Francisco Chronicle's report are true...
as long as the game proves profitable and/or popular, I doubt MS will shut it down Stopping updates, maybe. But not a full on shutdown. not unless MS starts losing a lot of money on it from server costs
@zackquickshot Do you think that he's going to be a skin or a character because I want him to be an actual character instead of a skin for Female N Tropy.
I've been waiting for a Switch version announcement, but it now seems very unlikely. I'm gutted that I'll miss out on CTRumble (there's no way I'll pay PS plus only for this game) and I hope the continuity of the franchise is not compromised (yet again).
Imagine Activision actually having Spyro 4 in development under Bobby's reign if anything, I've got more hope for a Spyro 4 under MS than I ever did under Bobby
It's gonna be a damn shame if Crash Team Rumble doesn't continue. I was really hoping to hear a Switch/Steam announcement. I really wanted to try this game out. Hopefully they can find a solution to all this.
The xbox unsupported killed off crash games would be a two nickel parting with ctrnf before rumble sad because ctr was an amazing remake but they microtransactioned it to death then discontinued it people would still playing if they went the fortnite route and kept adfing content
Support for that game could stop in about a year or two. If they keep laying off employees, then they'll have to shift focus on another game. I never got to play rumble so im neutral on it as a whole. Personally, I'd rather have new main line games than a team based one for crash or spyro.
I think the game will continue to get supported ...least until it (hopefully) releases on the Switch tho I didn't really get into the game that much, haven't really played since season 1 I'd rather have the next game (probably won't see that for another year or 2) or a new Spyro game personally
Isn’t it weird that there’s speak of Microsoft and Nintendo supposedly teaming up and there having all these layoffs now? Like why now? I just hope Toys for Bob keeps crushing with what they have done.
You'd have to define what you mean "supported" cause technically speaking Nitro Fueled is still supported the servers are still online there's just no new content being made and the same thing will probably happen shortly to Rumble they'll keep the servers going so people can play and they can keep the game in their catalogue.
Yeah I was thinking that Team Rumble should be free and open a shop for people to buy outfits the game is super fun but it’s too limited to be a $40 game
Oh no they can't end Crash Team Rumble just now what about season 4? surly there's still characters in need like Tony Hawk or the snowman or Hawk in reference to him does anyone remember that? The old icons including the leaf how well Elora's is a gem
I would not have guessed what would happen when microsoft bought activition/blizzard. But I felt sure it wasnt a good glorious thing. I was against it and I wish more people showed that same feeling. Oh well, at least now Im waiting to play gears on my ps5
To everyone saying that they completely closed down toys for bob. Thats not entirely true all they did was close the physical office. Tfb is still around they just do not have an office anymore. (at least everything that i am reading thats what it says)
The layoffs make me really worried as well, Crash Team Rumble is a decent game. Playing together with friends makes it N sane to play, so Xbox please don't fail us 😢
Crash team rumble hasn't even went to Nintendo Switch and/or PC yet. It's February and still no Activision-Blizzard games on game pass but there's now rumors of Xbox going completely third party. Yikes
10 หลายเดือนก่อน
Couldn't care less. I hope they do and then they'll have more resources for new Crash/Spyro game. Compared to bash, this is such degradation for crash party game.
what we should be worrying about is if both the crash and spyro series are getting killed off and will no longer be worked on cuz of microsoft, not if some mid-ass game nobody cares about is getting cancelled
While this game wasn't my thing, considering how young it is, I can't help but see Rick Sanchez rolling up and shouting 'Jokes on you for liking things!' at all of us. Especially considering what this forebodes for Crash's future.
Game was pretty much dead on arrival. No surprise if they do pull support. The game did not do well.
I love crash bandicoot games but I tried crash team rumble and it’s the first crash game I’ve never liked. I just want a single player crash bandicoot game but I don’t think it’s going to happen for awhile

It up to Microsoft rather they sell the ips or keep the ips but right Microsoft doesn't care about xbox consoles sell they only care about making that money by gonna 3rd party
@purgedavino3764 yeah I suppose cutscenes would be satisfying
One word - GOOD!
It's time to move on to better investments for the franchise, it's been pretty obvious since Day -1 that support for Crumble will get chopped, there is no way that they will keep flogging a dead horse season after Season.
If Crash On The Run couldn't make it there is no way this shambled Crash 4 DLC will
Could it be possible that TFB gets absorbed into another studio? Kinda like how Vicarious Visions did?
Possibly, that’s what a lot of us think for right now
Like what happened to Hudson Soft when Konami absorbed them?
I'm not neutral over this, I enjoy so much rumble with competitive lobbies 🥲
I enjoy the game myself but just play it casually whenever the new characters are available to be unlocked through the early access. I'm hoping it stays on for at least another 6-9 months till the end of the year then keep the servers up similar to Nitro Fueled.
A few months ago, I said to various different individuals involved in the Crash community that I doubt this game will have long term success. I still stand by my opinion and given the low player base, I am almost certain that this will be the case.
This game, while being a nice experiment, was guaranteed to not have as much long term success as a platformer or racing title. Did I want this game to fail? No. But do I see this game not being supported within the next 12, maximum 18 months? Yes
I miss playing Crash Team Rumble. it just got too repetitive around mid-season 2. The content doesn't make me want to come back or stay. Finances are not there to spend 15 a month to play one game. I am afraid they will end support by the end of the year at the latest. :(
Actually, there is a bigger problem now. There is a chance that Toys for Bob may closed down completely if San Francisco Chronicle's report are true...
as long as the game proves profitable and/or popular, I doubt MS will shut it down
Stopping updates, maybe. But not a full on shutdown. not unless MS starts losing a lot of money on it from server costs
The game must be profitable enough if we’ve already gotten to Season 3 with a Season 4 coming.
Ngl thought Crash Team Rumble been ended since Spyro came in but still it's unfortunate that the entire team is in a disaster thxs to Microsoft
Well since everyone gone now…sadly yes
We must fight back against this!! Who's with me?
I am! We need this game to survive and get our master of time back! (I'm talking about Male N Tropy)
@@Noah.Seth07 right.
@zackquickshot Also, do you want Male N Tropy too?
@@Noah.Seth07 yes.
@zackquickshot Do you think that he's going to be a skin or a character because I want him to be an actual character instead of a skin for Female N Tropy.
It's been leaked that TFB is shutting down
Fortunately, it seems only their offices are closing. TFB is still standing, but they may relocate to a smaller place.
I've been waiting for a Switch version announcement, but it now seems very unlikely. I'm gutted that I'll miss out on CTRumble (there's no way I'll pay PS plus only for this game) and I hope the continuity of the franchise is not compromised (yet again).
Imagine Spyro 4 finally being in development and now it will also get cancelled...
Not suprised
Ouch
I'll only believe that when I hear it.
Imagine Activision actually having Spyro 4 in development under Bobby's reign
if anything, I've got more hope for a Spyro 4 under MS than I ever did under Bobby
So basically what happened to the canceled Xbox game Scalebound ironically a game about dragons
Sorry to bust your bubble. But I heard the TFB is shutting down
It's gonna be a damn shame if Crash Team Rumble doesn't continue. I was really hoping to hear a Switch/Steam announcement. I really wanted to try this game out. Hopefully they can find a solution to all this.
The xbox unsupported killed off crash games would be a two nickel parting with ctrnf before rumble sad because ctr was an amazing remake but they microtransactioned it to death then discontinued it people would still playing if they went the fortnite route and kept adfing content
CTRNF was discontinued due to Covid and Crash 4 was a higher priority at the time, so Beenox discontinued the game so they could assist with Crash 4.
Yeah, I instantly gave up on Spyro the second I heard about this. Either that, or Toys for Bob will not be tye team making it.
Support for that game could stop in about a year or two. If they keep laying off employees, then they'll have to shift focus on another game. I never got to play rumble so im neutral on it as a whole. Personally, I'd rather have new main line games than a team based one for crash or spyro.
I think the game will continue to get supported ...least until it (hopefully) releases on the Switch
tho I didn't really get into the game that much, haven't really played since season 1
I'd rather have the next game (probably won't see that for another year or 2) or a new Spyro game personally
I’m still waiting for a Switch port. If Microsoft cuts support for Crash Team Rumble before that I am going to be very mad.
Isn’t it weird that there’s speak of Microsoft and Nintendo supposedly teaming up and there having all these layoffs now? Like why now?
I just hope Toys for Bob keeps crushing with what they have done.
You'd have to define what you mean "supported" cause technically speaking Nitro Fueled is still supported the servers are still online there's just no new content being made and the same thing will probably happen shortly to Rumble they'll keep the servers going so people can play and they can keep the game in their catalogue.
I just want Crash Bash remake or Crash 5...
Yeah I was thinking that Team Rumble should be free and open a shop for people to buy outfits the game is super fun but it’s too limited to be a $40 game
Oh no they can't end Crash Team Rumble just now what about season 4? surly there's still characters in need like Tony Hawk or the snowman or Hawk in reference to him does anyone remember that? The old icons including the leaf how well Elora's is a gem
I doubt most people still remember Crash Team Rumble is a thing
I would not have guessed what would happen when microsoft bought activition/blizzard. But I felt sure it wasnt a good glorious thing. I was against it and I wish more people showed that same feeling.
Oh well, at least now Im waiting to play gears on my ps5
Insiders have said that TFB will be working from home.
To everyone saying that they completely closed down toys for bob. Thats not entirely true all they did was close the physical office. Tfb is still around they just do not have an office anymore. (at least everything that i am reading thats what it says)
I do hope this game goes on longer because it's generally fun epsecially if it's with two good teams facing off.
First *Funimation* and now *Toys For Bob* soon!? ⁉️
This is one of the big fears and BIG reasons I did NOT want Microsoft to buy Activision.
The layoffs make me really worried as well, Crash Team Rumble is a decent game. Playing together with friends makes it N sane to play, so Xbox please don't fail us 😢
don't worry about that man calm down
I'm kind of disappointed because I thought Crash team rumble would be like Crash bash but of course different.
I'm hopeful that Crash Team Rumble won't end there due to everybody being laid off.
Well...I don't CGE is gonna like the next bit of news that happened with TFB recently.
It's official...we've lost...
Crash team rumble hasn't even went to Nintendo Switch and/or PC yet.
It's February and still no Activision-Blizzard games on game pass but there's now rumors of Xbox going completely third party. Yikes
Couldn't care less. I hope they do and then they'll have more resources for new Crash/Spyro game. Compared to bash, this is such degradation for crash party game.
I doubt it'll stay up only about 10 people play it servers cost money and no one playing so by end of year servers prob be gone.
Hopefully they’ll let them choose so
A) they stop wasting resources on that $hit (rumble)
B) that $hit is deleted
2 birds with one stone!!
They are going to have to chop some things.
I guess acquiring things has to come with a sacrifice.
what we should be worrying about is if both the crash and spyro series are getting killed off and will no longer be worked on cuz of microsoft,
not if some mid-ass game nobody cares about is getting cancelled
Well we got our answer now. Not just are they ending it they’re shutting toys for Bob down.
This aged well...
i thought the game was already dead, i cannot get a match online, being in oceana,
While this game wasn't my thing, considering how young it is, I can't help but see Rick Sanchez rolling up and shouting 'Jokes on you for liking things!' at all of us. Especially considering what this forebodes for Crash's future.
