Not counting their recent offerings on current consoles, which of these two devlopers did you like more back in the day?

You have Insomniac and Naughty Dogg each with games no one knows about, and then they move on to create Crash, Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank and Spyro.

Which do you think was the more quality developer?

Personally, I believe Jak and Ratchet are tied with Jak as Jak almost slipped with the first few hours of Jak 3 which was interesting but really was more of a distraction later on until you got to the city to me. Ratchet was more consisitent, which was good at time and bad at others, and Crash and Spyro are both good, although I tilt the hat slightly toward Crash. Spyro 1 just seemed lacking in all but music and design (those original boss battles their. Even though they were too easy.)

Personally when it's Insomniac vs Naughty Dog, it's pretty much the same as asking Jak & Daxter vs Ratchet and Clank, for me. I haven't played most of their other games like Uncharted or whatever the hell Insomniac made. And I never really liked either Crash or Spyro. So I'll have to go with Naughty Dog, I love both Ratchet and Jak but Jak fits me better, I like it's darker tone in II and 3, and I loved Jak X. (I even liked TLF but that wasn't by ND). And for the most part I never really cared for what wat happening storywise in R&C games (although I really need to give them more of a chance in that aspect), but Jak's story just kept me glued to the TV.

Crash > Spyro Ratchet and Clank > Jak Close, but I'd go with Naughty Dog for the Crash games.

Insomniac. I didn't own a PS1 back in the day so I didn't play Spyro or Crash back then, and the Jak & Daxter games are some of my favorite PS2 games.

Jak & Daxter is from Naughty Dog. Insomniac is Ratchet and Clank.

Jak & Daxter is from Naughty Dog. Insomniac is Ratchet and Clank.

My bad guess I should have double checked before I hit post

Insomniac: Spyro, Ratchet & Clank, Resistance

Naughty Dog: Crash, Jak and Daxter, Uncharted, The Last of Us

Still, Insomniac wins with the first trilogy of Spyro that marked my childhood so, who cares.

I like them both. I love the Spyro games on PS1 but I think Naughty Dog is the better dev.

I really like naughty dog over imsoniac Naughty dogg really knows how to make the stories of their games for everyone to work with. Their games are very comfortable to play and easy to get into.

You know what's funny is that I didn't care for ND and Insomniac in the PS1 era. Both Crash and Spyro didn't appeal to me as it did to most gamers, Sonic was still strong and on the PS1 side I found Ape Escape the better platformer. But on PS2 Jak and Ratchet really made their mark in my gaming taste. Jak and Daxter more so, I will give it to Naughty Dog but it's close.

I perferred Spyro over Crash and Ratchet and Clank over Jak and Daxter but Uncharted wipes the floor with Resistance.

So 2 - 1 to Insomniac so far but The Last of Us might change that but Insomniac I don't know what new IP they are planning in the future.

To each there own, but if I had to pick Naughty Dog. If you were to ask me say in the last 90's I would of said Insomniac due to Spryo just being amazing. The companies are just different than they once were, and although I love Ratchet & Clank, I like the older PS2 ones. Naughty Dog has just blown the top off with being able to recognized with the Uncharted series. Resistance was good, but it wasn't great...I also lost faith in insomniac when Resistance 3 was buggy and Ratchet & Clankk: All 4 One just made me turn around and look the other way.

Insomniac by a long shot. The PS1 Spyro games are some of my favourite 3d platformers. Of the PS2 Ratchet and Clank that I've played it's all been great, although admittedly I haven't played a Jak game. I've played relatively little of either developer's PS3 games, but Resistance 2 was probably my favourite among what I did play.
