I have no doubt that Crash Bandicoot could be great again if it was worked on by talented developers such as Naughty Dog, however that would be almost impossible at this time.
Naughty Dog is now a Sony subsidiary and the Crash Bandicoot series is currently owned by Activision Blizzard. Personally, I can't think of a single instance in modern gaming history where a first party developer developed a game for a third party publisher.
