I'm wondering where I can find any previous entries of it, it'd be nice to hear about it. Back on topic now! Although not being quite the mascot nor having any sort of exclusivity on the console itself in recent days, I'd say that the character that represents PlayStation the most, for me, it's definitely HER. Lara Croft, the iconic main character of Tomb Raider, is my favourite ever PlayStation mascot. The series itself, Tomb Raider, was an action-adventure with a huge focus on puzzle-solving, with Lara exploring ancient tombs and dealing with lost civilizations. It was pioneeristic back in the days and worldwide famous, mostly thanks to its protagonist and her charisma (and yes, quite unfortunately also thanks to her more than generous cleavage...) and, although having lost a lot of what really made her character a ture PlayStation icon, I still believe that Lara Croft and Tomb Raider are still recognized as ones of the most famous 90's PlayStation mascot. Naughty Dog's Crash Bandicoot would definitely be my 2nd choice, and it's not a coincidence that Nathan Drake it's deservedly recognized as today's PlayStation mascot. If anything she was a sega mascot for the first game, since it came out on the Saturn before the playstation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twenty years ago I would have easily said Solid Snake or Cloud but current day would probably be Nathan Drake as even Crash and Spyro are on the Xbox now. I would say Solid Snake as well...but we all know my boy went multiplatform. I guess young Kratos or Kiryu. I can't choose between the two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattveego Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I'd actually go with Sackboy For as plain as he is I think that he is the most unique out of the PlayStation mascots. The little guy just emits the word "fun" while all of the others are designed to look badass or cool. It is a shame that Media Molecule is not the power house that they were for PS3. I miss those days Also special shoutout to Kevin Butler who totally counts as a PlayStation mascot. His demeanor and the Dear Playstation ads led the PS3 comeback in 2011 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazdavis11 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 I’d like to say something different to many others here but unfortunately I’ve got to go with the majority and say Nathan Drake. Such an iconic character for a great series of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soniq Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 There can only be one: I would love to know what they said in those meetings when they decided that Polygon Man was supposed to be THE PlayStation mascot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonesey46 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 I'm going to go with Spider-Man Whilst not always an exclusive character to the Playstation, I can't help but feel he belongs on the platform. My first ever game on PS1 was Neversofts Spider-Man, then on the PS2 I'd spend hours swinging the streets of New York in Spider-Man 2 which I did again last year on Insomniacs incredible exclusive on the PS4. Also lets not forget the PS3 originally had the same freaking font as the Sam Raimi Spider-Man films. Yeah he's been on other platforms over the years but when I think Spider-Man, I think Playstation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lillia Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 I guess Nathan Drake since he's the first to come to my mind 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bushido7745785 Posted March 6, 2019 Author Share Posted March 6, 2019 Thanks for the dope answers gang! We really enjoyed looking back at Sony's lineup of characters and I had a good time laughing at all the Knack jokes! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaquia Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 how the heck is no one mentioning aloy? she was clearly advertised as a new mascot for sony and I believe she got what it takes actually if we speak of someone who is still in active duty, there is only aloy nathan drake's story is done sackboy? well, last entry was the end for the series i guess hunter from bloodborne? nah, too sinister crash and spyro are multiplatform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crauuecrauue Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 (edited) The PlayStation Classic. Or the PlayStation Now Logo. Or the 32GB PlayStation Vita Memory Card. Or the DualShock 4 Internal Battery. Or Mr. Gruff White Biker Man from Days Gone. Or a single Stub from MLB The Show.

Also, Kratos is still active and the better choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EcoShifter Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 (edited) Jak, especially since unlike Nathan Drake, he has games across the PS2 and PSP alongside PS3 and PS4. Edited August 22, 2019 by EcoShifter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley_Brant Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 I like Sly Cooper a bunch. Solid Snake/ Old Snake and Kratos are also good choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
