Wish I had known that back then when I was raging over Jak II and its impossible segment on those woodden bridges above the water with all the gun-equipped enemies spawning nearly endlessly that kept obliterating me over and over until I finally got rid of the game. What a disappointment that was after Jak & Daxter the Precursor Legacy... ('-_-)

I wish it added subtitles to Precursor Legacy. I'm not native speaker and also in the evening do the sound not so loud. Cannot understand a thing they speaking most of the time

Ratchet & Clank Are The Only Surviving (& Thriving) PS2 Mascots

The PS2 birthed various notable PlayStation mascots, but Ratchet and Clank appear to be the only ones that made it on every later console generation.

We needed remakes of Jak and Daxter more than pumping out an unnecessary "remake" of Last of Us.

Then again, we're hilariously now getting a "remake" of Horizon Zero Dawn, so Sony is already outdoing themselves.

neutralgamer1992516d ago

😂 man really HZD just came out

MadLad516d ago

People on here go at me because I always take jabs at Sony, but it's because I want to see them do better.
Do they make great games? Of course. As of this gen does their ecosystem suck? I'd say definitely yes.

They're becoming more anti consumer by the day.

neutralgamer1992516d ago

Mad

It's not PlayStation bro it's Jimbo and his cronies thinking the success of because of them and not guys like Shawn layden, Andrew house etc

MadLad515d ago

I get that. Jim needs to go. At the same time, we're still the consumer, and Sony is still the people doing the hiring and writing the checks. They need to stop turning a blind eye to how Playstation is being handled right now and get things back on track.

This isn't last generation. Xbox is real competition again. You're seeing a lot of people getting tired of what they're doing with the brand the last couple of years.

God of War? Hello? Is Kratos not a PS2 mascot? Hard to think that he's not.

SonyStyled516d ago

Beat me to it. When I read the headline I was like “huh?”

Lifexline516d ago

I don’t think so for some reason the title mascot is always given to “platformers” characters like Mario in particular when it comes to games.

Miscrosoft tried d to make master chief it’s mascot but it never really stuck because those characters appeal to a small percentage of gamers.

Vengeance1138516d ago (Edited 516d ago )

God of War on PS2 does have platforming elements in it, if Jak & Daxter and Ratchet can be considered platformers with the inclusion of minor platforming elements in them then so can God of War.

What a mascot is though is simply a game series based around a "named character". Solid Snake is a mascot, Gabe Logan from Syphon Filter is a mascot, Lara Croft is a mascot etc... we really don't get many franchises based around a single named protagonist anymore.
Master Chief is 100% Microsoft's mascot and yes he does appeal to a very wide range of gamers. He's a space marine much akin to the Terran in Starcraft, whats not to love.

darthv72516d ago

blinx was the xb mascot, not master chief. but they gave up on blinx after the 2nd game which is sad as there was lots of potential there. They should bring him back.

abstractel516d ago (Edited 516d ago )

So the definition of a mascot is that they have to be cartoony and platform characters? Makes little sense to me.

Mascot, Icon, whatever word you want to use, Kratos is definitely part of that Playstation definition. And yeah, Master Chief is one for Xbox for whatever it's worth.

Levii_92516d ago

Nahh we don’t need these kind’s of games we need more walking slimulators like Naughty Dog games and remakes of games that aren’t even 10 years old because they make money right Sony. The fact that R&C is still around AND still good is a goddamn miracle that i’m very grateful for.

Z501516d ago

"We need more walking Simulators"

Like Hellblade 2?

solideagle516d ago

lol it's funny how your only game is about Sony games because Microsoft has no games to compare to :p

Smellsforfree516d ago

Which is absolutely fine since he wasn't comparing Sony to MS in his comment to begin with.

shinoff2183516d ago (Edited 516d ago )

Its obvious your just hating levii92. You can call last of us whatever the f you want Ill call it one of the best games Ive played. Also if you cant see the huge drastic difference in graphics between a ps3 and subsequent remaster to ps4 which didnt change the looks to much to a remake for ps5 where the graphics are phenomenal then thats on you lil guy. And its far from a walking simulator Id guess you never even played it.

Truth is the last of us is fantastic and if you dont wanna pay that much for it wait, if you even play ps which I doubt. It was just 50 bucks everywhere. Im still waiting until its 30 or so cause I dont like to spend over 30 40 bucks on any games these days.

On the bright side atleast you can stand in the corner or something cause I know the other system doesnt have alot going on these days.

TheEnigma313516d ago

Bitter because your console can't produce games lol.

SonyStyled516d ago

Levii, does it bother you that the remake came out 9.25 years after the original? Would your balls not be squeezed as hard if it was delayed 9 months?

Rocosaurus516d ago

You are not wrong. The probably two biggest ps5 exclusives next year are the second chapter of FF7 (remake) and Knights of the old Republic (remake).

z2g516d ago

the last R+C (rift apart) was definitely way better than I wanted to give it credit for before playing. still one of the best, most impressive ps5 games imo.

badz149515d ago

the game is so good, the only flaw I want to highlight is the fact that it's a little bit short for my liking. I want more of it damn it!

I know naughty dog has no interest in this, but man I love to see this series return, or at the very least get blue point onto remaking the original 3 games please!!!

mastershredder536d ago

A different and more fun Naughty dog made that game.
