Wonder why they left Jak and daxter and Crash bandicoot..

I think dropping Crash Bandicoot was an epic fail on their part. Same with Insomniac dropping Spyro. Jak & Daxter are being made for the PSP right now but I still have hope that they'll go to the PS3 soon. They know what happen to their franchises when they sell them off now at least and I think that's enough motivation to keep the IP's within Naughty Dog (for console gaming at least).

How is it an epic fail? They dropped Crash because they didn't think they could do much more with the series, and they didn't want to work on the same series for the rest of their lives *cough*Kojima*cough*. Naughty Dog isn't in the industry just for the money.

I wasn't referring to money. I was referring to what happened to the series afterward. I have a feeling if Naughty Dog maintained control over Crash, we wouldn't be dealing with Crash of the Titans and Mind Over Mutant. I think Naughty Dog are amazing still. It's just upsetting to see something that was so great in my childhood turn into what it has turned into.

If Sony had bought the IP ND probably wouldn't work on the games. How do you know that Sony's milking would've been better than what's happening to it now? You're trying to get your point across by using some of the better (non-ND) Crash's? If you want to talk bad ones you should've said Wrath of Cortex and Twinsanity instead. And with the horrible artstyle in the newer games I wouldn't consider them a part of the franchise, since they have no similarities. =)
