Featuring never before seen characters and locations and customizable weapons and vehicles, Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier offers fun for gamers of all ages this Holiday Season.
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.
*Jak and Daxter Shouldn't Get a Sequel until we get a new Crash Bandicoot first. There, fixed your title for you.
Ratchet and Clank, Sly Cooper, and Jak and Daxter ruled the roost back in the PS2 days. But how do they fare going up against each other?
Jak and Daxter for me. Loved that series. That franchise is in my top 5 of all time. Ratchet and clank would be next. I didn't play sly cooper back on ps2 or ps3. I got the trilogy on vita and it's good but no where near as good as the other two I thought.
I liked Jak & Daxter the best.
However it is great we got HD collections of all these great franchises last gen.

When I took over the SCEE PlayStation Blog a month or two back, I promised you a few new regular features. Today, I’m happy to unveil the first of them: Behind The Classics. Every fortnight (well, that’s the plan at least), we’ll be talking to the creative force behind a vintage PS One or PlayStation 2 title. To kick things off, Naughty Dog co-founder Andy Gavin was kind enough to lend us his time to discuss the making of seminal 2001 PS2 platformer Jak & Daxter.
Good read.
There are simply not enough 3D platformers like this around any more. It's why I'm anticipating Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time and the new Ratchet & Clank so much. I hope next gen ditches the overwhelming FPS obsession and brings about a new wave of action platformers.
Love this idea for the psblog....the internets wasn't all that big when a lot of these things came out and now that it is the info should be spread to the people.
Jak and Daxter will always have that special place in my heart. They where my childhood. Im so glad they released the collection.
Can't wait to play this personally, but the EU release date is like Nov 27 or something ridiculous like that :(
Remember the good ol days of Precursor Legacy???
That was one of the many games that got me hooked on PS2.
Naughty Dog better make a new Jak and Daxter for PS3. It would be EPIC.
I can see it now..... BIIG environments to roam, things to smash, platforming, maybe even racing!(racing <-----siike)
Jak1 is my fav game of all time
So who made it Nd or some other Sony studio?
I don't know what I want more from ND, a Jak PS3 game or another Uncharted... whatever they do next I'll be buying regardless. Jak was one of my favorite platformers last gen., and I'd love nothing more than for ND to put the franchise to rest for good with a PS3 iteration.
The Last couple of Jak games ND made were rated "T" and they did have more mature themes than Precursor Legacy, so if ND did ever decided to go back and make one last Jak game on the PS3, I'm sure they'll keep that same consistency going.
I like Sony's New IP approach each gen. but at the same time, I don't think it would hurt to actually go back and revisit past hit franchises on the platform.... and to be honest, that's probably why the PS platform doesn't really have an "identity" because it doesn't attach itself to one or two main 1st party franchises for more than one console generation, but now that almost everything is pretty much multiplat. 3rd party wise, I think it's a good idea for Sony to start doing that.
Anyways, I'll be picking up the PS2 version of The Lost Frontier, can't wait to see how this adventure plays out.
