PSU: In a recent Ask Us Anything session on Reddit, Naughty Dog veteran Bruce Straley details why the esteemed studio passed on the production of Jak 4, but is still leaving the door open for its looming development.
TSA writes: Despite lending their name to one of the best gaming trilogies, Jak & Daxter don’t enjoy the same all-star adoration as other PlayStation mascots. With the world still caught in an unfamiliar stasis, I found myself looking back, not forward, to those nostalgia-soaked days when 3D platformers were king. Back to when a pointy-eared lad and his Ottsel were PlayStation royalty.
Only if it's like Jak 1 as opposed to 2 and 3. Personally thought the first was the best
I think they're all incredible, but I like the chill island atmosphere of the first one the most.
Jak 1 is fun but 2 and 3 were way more fun for me, tbh.
How can you say no to a hoverboard that can also grind surfaces like a skateboard? haha
LRG:
Anyone who has purchased all four Jak & Daxter games (standard or CE) through us will be receiving this official Jak 4 commemorative case containing an exclusive theme for your PS4! We'll be contacting you if you're eligible.
No it’s a concept art cover that’s included as a bonus if you bought Jak 1-3 and Jak X racing from them
How? It’s literally a place that helps make physical versions of previously digital only titles. That or new productions of really old games. That’s weird?
I don't buy digital if there is any way to avoid it. I wanted that River City Girls game (because they're cute, and was craving some old school beat'em up action). So I waited 2 months and got the physical for 40 dollars. Being physical I can sell it back if I ever get buyers remorse, and the limited printing means I could probably get all 40 back in 10 or so years when ps4 nostalgia starts up for todays kids turned collecting adults.
Jeez guys it’s just a fun little extra they are doing if fans bought the collectors editions of Jak 1-3 and Jak X
It’s not a serious thing...
Wow the concept art looks good i can see NAUGHTY Dogs making be like guardians of the galaxy type of jak a d dexter plataformer accion adventure space open universe. It does sound cool. And i never thought i will be interested. But if is more realistic, mature and well done it will be amazing. But seem way to big of a project but if someone can do it right is Naughty Dogs.
It will be a next step from naughty dogs in the right direction. Uff i can lnly imagine a d i am not talking about the old games style of plays idk how they played but i am talking about a mix of uncharted the last of us style with more plataforming . It will be like a stars wars, guardian of the galaxy style theme with a good history to bach it up. With a good Online will be mindblowing.
This franchise as a fleshed out rpg with the same beloved story, quests/missions & platforming would be king.
Reboot Jak and Daxter instead of making Jak 4.
There was no conclusive ending to the franchise. There was so much more that could be done. Jak still had to face being Mar. I mean, there would be at least one more trip back in time because he had to build the city.
But I do agree that rebooting would be better. Simply because this is a different naughty dog to the one who created jak and daxter. Different people with different ideas. If they're gonna take on jak and daxter again, better to start from scratch and make it their own from the get go rather than trying to be new while being laden down by the originals.
Exactly. Also if Naughty Dog aren't involved, then just don't bother please. We don't want another Jak and Daxter The Lost Frontier, Spyro the Dragon after the PS1 days or any of the Halos after Bungie stopped making them to happen.
Yep, I agree. As much as I'd love another one of these games, it's probably best to just leave it as it is.
To be honest, the last Sly game was not developped by the original team and it was very good. If Naughty Dogs don't do it (they won't because they'll make The Last of Us 2), Sony could give it to a good developper.
I would agree that the creative minds are different and thus they would make a different Jak experience, but because that's the case I'd say they should just leave Jak alone for now. Jak is my favorite franchise and if they change it I don't think I'd be happy.
Also, after pondering I realized why Jak didn't get a movie. He's not really a family friendly character like Ratchet and Sly. But, it being animated would also limit it's adult audience. There really is no market for a Jak movie.
*Jak and Daxter Shouldn't Get a Sequel until we get a new Crash Bandicoot first. There, fixed your title for you.
Now thats the attitude!. I can only imagine what they will do with the power presented to them now
If ND doesnt wanna do it.I say hand it off to sanzaru games they did a great job with sly 4.
Looks like Naughty Dog is currently having a tough time deciding between a sequel to The Last of Us, a new IP, or Jak 4. Either way, I'll be really damn excited for whatever they release.
we need jak 4 from naughty dog
I just wanna crash bandicoot reboot from Naughty Gods !
This would be fantastic platformer !
