"We've didn't heard much about the game but hopefully we will hear more about it after Uncharted 2!'"

What?

I loved Jak and Daxter 1 (can't remember if I played 2 or 3) so I'll be looking out for this.

Freak of Nature5421d ago (Edited 5421d ago )

What I hope for is that they go the route of "Insomniac",and become a 2 IP at a time dev house...

Insomniac could very well be a 3 at a time dev house with their new North Carolina Studio,so Naughty dog becoming a 2 at a time game studio is not that far fetched....

With lots of devs (pre-viz/concept art and some modelers,texture artists) finishing work earlier than post work devs,they could have had a foundation being built up for a few Months now,along with added devs being hired for another PS3 Jak game...Possibly this November when Uncharted 2 hits the streets,we will then see news on a new Jak for PS3....Seeing Jak and Uncharted taking turns in a cycle would be ideal....

Anyways,really hoping it's true,I actually have a friend that I worked with on past products working as an artist over at Naughty dog,and he is tight lipped,I cannot get anything out of him,he just says....(You shall see) and laughs his head off...

Here is to hoping.....

Bnet3435421d ago

I wish they made Jak younger again. :( I hate his older look, it makes the game less cartoon-ish IMO.

Beast_Master5421d ago

This is a typo. Uncharted 2 and then 3, Jak will not make an appearance until the end of the cycle at the earliest. To bad ND isn't big enough to do two titles at once, like Insomniac.

barom5421d ago

I love how the words "rumor" and "announced" is in the title.

nothere4135420d ago

You know... I can tell this article is fake because... NAUGHTYDOG ISN'T DOING JAK AND DAXTER GAMES ANYMORE. HIGH IMPACT GAMES IS.

I do too, the Jak & Daxter games are some of my favourites.

Cajun Chicken5422d ago

WHAT?!? I'll count this as rumour until anything is confirmed...this could really f**k with me.

sinncross5422d ago

This is not much of a rumour since ND have implied many many times before that they will work on a new Jax and Daxter after Uncharted 2 and that it would utilize the uncharted engine.

TOO PAWNED5422d ago

they NEVER said that. Since they have "said" it "many" times, i am sure you can find one, just single one link that will confirm it.

Cajun Chicken5422d ago

They always said they would consider it, but the artists got fed up of drawing cartoony characters, some people however didn't want to move from Jak after Jak X. I'm not sure where that was said, but they'd like to go back to Jak, it was never confirmed though, but they've always been questioned about using the Uncharted engine for a new Jak.

Ju5421d ago

"Fed up"...well, swallow your pride and do some business :) Not sure if it would be good for ND. Their bread and butter now might be UC2, but the PS3 sure could use another high profile E rated game (after R&C). Its such a pity that some studios didn't carry their tradition over from the PS2 to the PS3. But the early demographic might have pointed towards a more mature audience, maybe the time is right to broaden that a bit. Jak & Dexter would sure help here.

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.

neutralgamer1992517d ago

😂 man really HZD just came out

MadLad517d 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.

neutralgamer1992517d 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

MadLad517d 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.

Vengeance1138517d ago

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

SonyStyled517d ago

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

Lifexline517d 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.

Vengeance1138517d ago (Edited 517d 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.

darthv72517d 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.

abstractel517d ago (Edited 517d 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_92517d 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.

Z501517d ago

"We need more walking Simulators"

Like Hellblade 2?

solideagle517d ago

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

Smellsforfree517d ago

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

shinoff2183517d ago (Edited 517d 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.

TheEnigma313517d ago

Bitter because your console can't produce games lol.

SonyStyled517d 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?

Rocosaurus517d 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).

z2g517d 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.

badz149516d 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!

Despite No New Games, Naughty Dog's Jak and Daxter Franchise Lives On

Even though it's been 13 years since the last brand-new Jak and Daxter game, several factors have allowed Naughty Dog's franchise to survive.

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!!!

mastershredder537d ago

A different and more fun Naughty dog made that game.
