Ever since SCEA president Shawn Layden walked onto the stage of PSX 2015 wearing a "Crash Bandicoot" shirt, gamers have been wondering if the famous orange marsupial will ever see action on the PlayStation 4.

With a bunch of nineties games already been given the remake treatment such as "Final Fantasy 7" and "Banjo-Kazooie," fans have started theorizing that "Crash Bandicoot" could be next. Certainly, the platforming mascot's appearance on no less than Layden's shirt has further strengthened the speculation.

GameRant pointed out that another "Crash Bandicoot" sequel might actually happen since the franchise's original developer Naughty Dog is now wrapping up work on "Uncharted 4: A Thief's End" while Sony has been long-rumored to be interested in buying the dormant video game series. The two could potentially work something out in 2016. Naughty Dog might want to redeem the franchise that gave the company its first big break in the gaming industry.

However, this will all depend on whether or not Activision is willing to sell the rights to the character. It could even try to take it upon itself to develop a new "Crash Bandicoot" game.

The demand for remakes of '90s video games has surged in recent years partly due to Sony's successful marketing campaign of the 20th anniversary of its acclaimed PlayStation console. Gamers have been reminiscing about the titles they have fond memories of in the earlier days of their hobby. It's a smart business move for companies to start selling nostalgia to customers, and Sony has more than gotten the memo.

Naughty Dog is the top candidate to be working with Sony on a "Crash Bandicoot" sequel, but the developer could very well be busy on other things right now.

At any rate, it would be a rather tactless move on Layden's part to wear a specifically branded shirt at a grand PlayStation event just to instigate momentary applause.

As for Naughty Dog, Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide president Shuhei Yoshida revealed that the developer has been brainstorming ideas for a sequel to "The Last of Us."

Yoshida told Eurogamer that although "The Last of Us 2" is still unofficial, the game's creative director Neil Druckmann has already thought of some ideas for a possible sequel. The executive added that he is excited to know about what Naughty Dog has in store.

"Like many people, we wish to see what it's going to be like, how the story's going to develop, what life these characters have after what happened in The Last of Us," said Yoshida.
