GameSpy: The Jak series has been exceptionally lucrative for Sony and Naughty Dog. For every two fanboys, there's at least one hater out there. In light of the amount of time spent laboring in front of a computer for months on end, is there anything you'd like to say to both devout fans and harsh critics regarding the game creation process?
Lemarchand: We love making games, and we always make sure that we're working hard, planning well, and thinking clearly, since that's how great games get made. We like constructive criticism -- in fact, we have a studio culture that demands it -- so we always listen carefully to what everyone who plays one of our games has to say, whether it's positive or negative.

GameSpy: What's in the cards for Naughty Dog once the Jak X smoke clears? I'm assuming a lot of rest and relaxation, but then what?
Lemarchand: We haven't announced yet what we're working on next -- but we don't like to sit still for too long, and we're already busy again. When we have something to announce, you'll be the first to know!
GameSpy: Do you plan to continue with the Jak license in next-gen, or might we see it go free-agent like our friend Crash?
Lemarchand: We hope to see Jak around for years to come, so stay tuned, Jak fans, and we'll see you online in Jak X: Combat Racing!
