If it's developed by Naughty Dog then yes.

Agreed. Also, Retro Studios, Tokyo EAD, The console Zelda Team, Monolith Soft, Sora (and anything Sakurai makes)....so, yeah...MOST of Nintendo's studios, and even though I'm not a big third party gamer or a Sony/Microsoft fan...I've played enough of their titles to know that some of their studios, like many of Nintendo's, just ALWAYS make great games. Considering the title of the thread is, "Is it possible to know if a game will be GOOD....?" I say yes. Based on the track records of certain studios and the direction and consistent quality and polish of certain game franchises, I think it IS possible know a game will be "good." Notice...that doesn't mean it's great, perfect, flawless, best-in-the-series or any of those other completely subjective labels. Of course, "good" in itself is subjective as well...so this whole thread is a moot point because anybody can say ANY game is good automatically, even if they've never played it, and you can't say they're wrong because it's their opinion, not yours.
