I beleave you but it not happening trust me with development with un charted naughty dog will fit a playstation 2 platformer into the next gen consles most peope like me when jak 4 come will be like WTF so if they where to keep going with trilogy they whouldve started on jak 4 a long time ago but if they did it before it it whouldve developed to the playstasion 3 then playstation 4 we whould have a awesome game that had the best stories some awesome video game charactar but please if they started jak 4 like in 2010 wee whould be near 6 but what i dont like is these rumor and how naughty dog put us on a fucking cliff hanger on the best game of its time but a series with more is to much right YOU HEARD OF THE FUCKING CALL OF DUTY FRANCHISE Hmmmm you know what i mean.

[@justawarlord]

The Dude no, hahah the last of us win against gta 5 crash bandicoot was a system seller, unlike gta who didn't get nearly as many sales, jax and daxter was miles better than gta 3 only san andreas is better than jax but not in graphics i will admit that red dead was a fantastic game and deserves praise for one of the better games, also max pain, but that game lacked again compared to naughty dog under no circumstances can you say that naughty dog delivered a worse game than rockstar, the only thing you could say argue is that platformers and beatem ups isn't for you, but that would be personal preference not developer ability to make a fantastic game also lets not forget that gta stook to the same formula since gta 3 naughty dog never went more than 2 generations with the same formula, uncharted 4(was made as a system seller like crash for and doesn't count)

[@justawarlord]

The Dude also just to put into perspective how many games crash sold more than gta crash bandicoot one sold 6.82 million copies gta 1 sold 1 million on all consoles gta 2 sold 0.2 million on all consoles gta 3 sold well into the millions with 14 million but than again crash 2 sold 7.58 million and 3 sold 7.13 million and crash bandicoot was a console exclusive so only on playstation but gta could be played on everything

All Naughty Dog Games are awesome!!! Crash Bandicoot was my Childhood since I played PS1 and one of my Favorites Franchises, my favorite was Crash Bandicoot 3 Warped. Jak and Daxter was Incredible and funny, my favorite was Jak 3. Uncharted was a Master piece with an amazing story and characters, my favotire was Uncharted 3 Drake Deception. The Last of Us??? I can not say much about this game, not for nothing was for many, the best game of 2013. But for me, Crash and Jak & Daxter are my favorites videogames franchises.

Really wish they stayed with Crash, it is not like it has a limit of income (look at Mario how many spin-offs does he have along with the original game repeated every 3 years XD? ) The other games are nice but are not games that you can sit with your grandma, cousins, brother and mom and play and take turns for hours on end even replaying the game with the same levels :).....This is why Mario works, because so few games actually try to appeal to a entire family....maybe one day I'll play a modern Crash Bandicoot game with crystals and platforming with my grandma again....been to long since crash wrath of cortex....

[@mann-nova9392]

TheBatman582 Eh I picked it up mainly to play Jak and Daxter on the go, as well as a few other PS3 games that had released. Now mine's basically just a portable PS3 with the MGS, Sly, Ratchet & Clank, and Jak and Daxter Collections, along with a few games I have on consoles like Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, LittleBigPlanet, Assassin's Creed (my Vita actually came with it), and PlayStation All-Stars. Along with those I also bought a few PSP and PSOne games, and can't say I regret it at all. -Though I still wish I could play Crash Bandicoot on there- Don't let the fact that you already beat a game deter you from re-buying it! I've played every version of Sly, Ratchet, and Jak, and own them all but it's always enjoyable each time to play them again. Especially taking a good year or two break before playing it again.

[@windy3935]

The least ND need to do for failing to make a Jak 4 on PS3 (and PS2) and not having given us a game in a long time, is to remaster Jak X, the last Jak game made by them and the last game that Mike Erwin voiced Jak in. Jak X is crucial to the series in unusual ways that already ons on to why Jak X is important in it's general way. Like, we have no movie for Jak coming out, we haven't had a proper game in almost a full decade, Ratchet has had several games now that it's not even funny how much he's in the league, Ratchet's 4th game was remastered, etc, etc. ND act like they can't give us a little something to hold us off to Jak 4. They have this plan where they only will develop games that can surpass the previous. A lot of developers don't do this, which means Jak is actually not in 100% good hands. Like, ND only will do realistic games and AAA games. It's obvious that they're trying to maintain a certain kind of reputation.

[@windy3935]

***** Um, I know this, but.. it's not a Jak game, especially made by ND, so that's why I didn't bring it up -_-. I'm aware of Jak's voice actor in ALL the games he's in (as im a big fan and own all games he makes a direct cameo in, not skins).

[@windy3935]

***** This was all under the implication of the games ND made, not all of the games Jak was in in general, therefore, Jak X was the last Jak game (made by ND) that Mike voiced Jak in.

Poor ND. Leaving Crash Bandicoot behind caused them to go just a little while with Jak & Daxter and then start making lame adults' games (from Uncharted to Last of us) instead of youth friendly ones. Same thing with Crystal Dynamics that begun with Gex and many other funnies and is now going on with Tomb Raider and Sleeping Dogs. Sigh! What's wrong with video game developers these days anyway? For now on only Nintendo consoles have the biggest value of youth friendly games while for other consoles most games are just sport games (they're OK though), war games, battle games, walking around the dusty towns, RPGs etc. Same thing with real PC-games as well. In era between early 90s and late 2000s there were lot more good games. But whenever ND will have an anniversary and make game to cellebrate it, it shall be a crossover of Crash and Jak & Daxter - and maybe something ND made before Crash if possible.
