A painful choice, but I went with Jak. Both franchises deserve more, but Jak would benefit more from being brought back right now. We've seen with Knack what happens to mascot type character games. People don't know how to make them anymore, aside from Nintendo and a few indie devs. Jak fits in with modern gaming, and I don't know about you, but the original trilogy moved me. It had a pretty compelling story, something that is expected from games today. And what has Naughty Dog gotten really good at? Well, if TLOU is anything to go by, I'd say they're getting very good at storytelling. I feel like Naughty Dog is more prepared to make a Jak game than a Crash game right now, and not just in storytelling. Their recent gameplay has leaned more towards Jak than Crash. Jak also works better with an open world setting, which has gotten quite popular these days. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see a glorious Crash revival by Naughty Dog, along side a glorious Spyro revival by Insomniac. But it'd be harder to make happen, and would be less appreciated by today's gamers. Perhaps in the future when new major developers arise from the indies, we'll see them take a new spin on those classics. For now though, both developers have moved on too much from those games, and Naughty Dog is more ready for a Jak game than a Crash game.
