What Naughty Dog does these days is so far from Crash and the people who work there are so different nowadays that there's not even a guarantee that a Crash game from them would be phenomenal. Granted, yes, the people who work at Naughty Dog are some of the best in the business, but the talent that they attract are people interested in making realistic, grounded, graphically intensive games. Who even says that those people want to be making a game starring a giant orange bandicoot?
EDIT: That being said, I would lose my mind if there was a new Crash game announced, I would lose my mind. I just don't know if I want Naughty Dog being the people to make it happen, particularly with how badly I want a second TLOU or another new IP from them.
