Naughty Dog has talked about the possibility of reviving both Crash Bandicoot and the Jak and Daxter franchises, as well as whether it'd ever consider remastering the Uncharted franchise for PS4 ahead of Uncharted 4's release.

Speaking to IGN, community strategist Arne Meyer engaged with Sony president Andrew House's recent comments we could see the infamous marsupial return , and revealed that while Naughty Dog had no immediate plans to revisit either Crash or Jak, the studio definitely wouldn't rule anything out."It’s never off the table," he said. "It’s not too much time passing, but it’s the same issues we explored with the Jak game. Is it something that makes sense to us now. I mean we still have people that worked on the Crash games in the studio. We never forget our past and it’d be great for nostalgic reasons. It’d be the same reason as why there isn’t a Jak 4: I don’t know if it’s playing to our strengths right now."Right now, what’s exciting everyone at the studio is continuing to work on narrative-driven games with strong characters. I think, at least for the time being, we haven’t exhausted the possibilities there, but that could change with something as simple as hardware. That’s what drove it before. I think we’re on to something really good though creating character-driven stories so that’s where our focus is going to be."It comes back to our decision making process, whether it feels right. With Jak at that time we were really focused on making games grounded in a stylised but realistic world, and if you tried to transfer Jak to that you lose a lot of what made him special. It doesn’t mean though that at no point in the future will we get good at making stylised artificial universes however, and then it’ll work."With the imminent release of The Last of Us: Remastered, however, and the reveal of Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, some have speculated the developer may opt to release a remastered collection of the first three Uncharted titles on PS4. Despite Shuhei Yoshida having personally suggested such a thing to Naughty Dog, Meyer explained it was a question of priorities."It’d be nice," he said. "It’s always nice to find ways to try and expand your audience. I don’t know how we’d ever pull that off but I don’t want to say we wouldn’t do it. I think if everything aligns, we should make an attempt to look into it and do it as well."Uncharted 4 was officially announced

during Sony's E3 press conference, with early story details surfacing a day later . According to Nolan North, the man responsible for bringing Nathan Drake to life, it's also set to be the last entry in the franchise
