Naughty Dog Wants Jak and Daxter on PS3

He stated that many people within Naughty Dog are dying to work on a new Jak and Daxter game utilizing the same technology interface that was used in Uncharted.

"I'm more impressed with the hardware the longer we get to work with it. Imagining trying to develop Uncharted without the Blu-ray drive, without the hard drive, or without the Cell processor makes me wonder what kind of game we would have ended up with. It certainly would have required a lot more compromises than I would have been comfortable making. And much like the PS2, I think the longer developers work with the machine, the better the games are going to get. For instance we are only using approximately 1/3 of the processing power of the SPUs on the Cell processor in Uncharted."

Sounds like Playstation 3 owners are in for another treat...

[PS3 Limps on and on]

...

[jackdoe]

Er, that's wrong.

[DeckUKold]

No Sly cooper =wack R&C = greatness J&D= Godly why didn't they do uncharted a launch tittle and and J&D next year love those two there legends

[Gamespot-equals-EGM]

You can have Jak and Daxter, I'm still waiting for a Mario game to come out on the ps3. Who knows maybe Nintendo will make a surprise announcement at the last minute this holiday season.

I'm holding my breath and keeping my fingers crossed.

[Cacolaco]

Seriously, the only way Sony will ever get Mario is if it pulls a Sega and decides to get out of the console business.

If the Wii is any indication of Nintendo's future in the console market, then I would say that the Playstation 3 is likely to get Mario never.

Of course if that statement was intentionally a joke, then I retract my comment =P

[Itachi]

Jak and daxter on ps3 would be awesome

[Bonsai1214]

i hope they recognize their vision from jax 2, where they had a city as a hub for everything. but this time around, the city would be HUGE. a la GTAiv, and have everything take place in the city or around it.

[Skerj]

That's what I'm hoping man, I was playing R&C and thinking of Jak III and thought it'd be awesome if they do one. The draw distance man, I could see enemies walking on an island on the opposite side of the planet. Jak would greatly benefit from stuff like that.

[akaFullMetal]

1/3 power of the spu's for uncharted, wow, can't wait to see what they can do with the ps3's hardware in a couple of years

[Real gamer 4 life]

omg jak and dexter, yes please.

[wangdiddy82]

i think this is one of sony's big games they will announce soon.. Sony said they had a bunch of games they havent announced yet

[Dogswithguns]

I love those games.

[Shaka2K6]

Just some days for the Uncharted demo though HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Lightning

Are you kidding you got it all wrong.

Ratchet & Clank > Jak & Dexter > Sly Cooper.

Sow whats Sucker Punch working on now eh

[PirateThom]

Like Insomniac and Naughty Dog, they didn't go straight to their franchise. They're working on InFamous.

[Darkiewonder]

After they release inFamous.

That's how it goes.

Insomniac does Resistance and did Ratchet.

Naughty Dog is doing Uncharted and should do Jax

and SP will or SHOULD do the same.

[Ju]

And I hope they will not only revive their old IPs but establish their new ones, too. If that continues, Resistance->Ratchet, Uncharted->Jak and Infamous->Sly, woah, I am not worried. And if that will be Resistance < Uncharted < Infamous and Ratchet < Jak < Sly, woah again. (but actually, the first three were amazing already, topping those with the ones to come won't be easy - and Uncharted isn't out yet).

[arika]

ok naughty dogs you got work to do... jax and daxter. wow! this is gonna be huge! i can't wait....

[HarryEtTubMan]

I say Ratchet & c = Jak & d... about even ... maybe a little more to Ratchet..

[Beowulf28]

Yes give me more jak, Hopefully its like jak 2 since the past 2 installments in the series have been alittle dissapointing.

[arika]

remember this coming thursday were gonna be given a glimpse on how awesome naughty dog are in developing games. hopefully jax and daxter should be the same or it might even be a little better than uncharted drakes, but we will see. just knowing they are starting to work on it makes my mouth drool...

[ATLRoAcH]

...looking forward to that demo, bring on Thursday!

[AllroundGamer]

and the gamers out there want it too :) to me Ratchet>Jak, but both series on PS2 were just great.

[Skerj]

After playing the awesomeness that is Ratchet and Clank FTOD, I can honestly say that I want Jak and Daxter on PS3 as well. If they use the things learn in Uncharted my goodness will that be sweet. Haven City would be both huge and have crazy draw distances now.

[J@D]

Make some used of that Engine from Uncharted and make that game AWESOME just as Uncharted lol'

I can't wait for late this month to put my hands on Uncharted lol :oP

PSN: jadjohnny

[cmrbe]

They are toying with the idea but its not confirmed yet. Hard to tell which one i love the most RC or Jak. I love both of them.

[ReBurn]

ReBurn wants Jak and Daxter on PS3, too.

[boodybandit]

I was hoping they already had Jak & Daxter started.

[Rybnik]

Of course its already started. Jak and Daxter: the Lost Frontier has been on IGN's TBD release 2008 PS3 list for at least a year already..My guess, we will see the new Jak game Nov-Dec next year.

[beast]

Knowing Uncharted as a Trilogy

Uncharted darkes fortune 1/3 power used
Uncharted drake treasure 2/3 power used
Uncharted the Final Chapter 100% power used

cant wait for 1st already paid for

[Koroshiya_Keefu]

Something to look forward too, will be interesting to see them adapt the Uncharted game engine into Jak & Daxter's visual style.

[BlackIceJoe]

I wonder if this would be the game Jak and Daxter's Lost Frontier that IGN found some time ago. At the U.S. Patent Office.

[xionpunk]

YEAH!! After Metal Gear, Jak and Daxter is my favorite Playstation series. Naughty Dog, I demand Jak on PS3!!!!

[ManOnFire]

I have always loved the Jak series so I would love to see Jak & Daxter on the PS3. By the time the game hits maybe they will be using 2/3 the power ! I'm not sure what that would look like but I am having a good time imagining it.

Hey Beast I am sending a bubble your way.

[IntelligentAj]

It's about time that they started using the "inferior" cell properly. It's only a matter of time before the learning curve gets to be a non-issue.

[god_o_war]

i hope they make a new jak and daxter its most probably not syarted yet because one the guys from naughty dogthat was on the ign podcast said that they arnt currently working on any other titles at the moment and after uncharted they are taking a vacation... one of the reason i think uncharted took soo long is because one of the dev videos he says they try things and if they dont work they take it out and try until they get something that plays well and suits well... but i deffinately cant wait for a new jak hopefully that jak and daxter lost frontier on ign is real and coming soon

[Rybnik]

That's exactly what Insomniac was saying..just before they revealed that they were indeed already working on Ratchet and Clank. Trust me, the same is happening at ND. I would not be surprised if we hear about J & D PS3 as soon as next GDC in March. Can't wait to see Uncharted level graphix/animation applied to the Jak universe....maybe I'll change my avatar, lol!

[Devr]

Do it!

[Jak4ever]

Every time i play R&C i cant help but to imagine the game being a new J&D game.. its been to long already.

i cannot wait for a new J&D game on the Ps3..

Jak 4 ever.

[SabreMan]

in my mind i suspect a new Jack & Daxter game is already heavily into development,there was a 30 minute special on Unchartered last week on the Bravo channel here in England, they interviewed some of the Naughty dog team and were shown around the development studios.
they talked about every aspect of Unchartered, it was a very good program, it looks simply amazing, a guy showed you what you had to do to get up into a tower and retrieve some keys.
the stuff you had to do looks incredibly complicated, also using the six-axis motion control to balance on some areas is simply incredible.

The program started with the cameraman walking in the door where he filmed a big Jack figure about four feet tall in the lobby, he them panned round doing interviews with the Naughty dog team.
In one section the cameraman seemed to go where he shouldn't have and got a glimpse of a pc monitor which looked like a Jack model onscreen, the programmer then told the cameraman he shouldn't be filming it so he left the room.

To my mind there is no doubt a Jack & Daxter game is heavily into development and hopefully a mid 08 released date would be great for us ps3 owners.
Jack & Daxter is a phenominal franchise the first two were stunning games, i didn't play the others as i didn't own a ps2 at that stage.
Naughty Dog are withouit doubt one of the most talanted development/programming teams in the world of gaming.

I simply cannot wait for anything they do, Unchartered is at the top of my most wanted list, Jack & Daxter on the ps3 is simply a mouth watering prospect

Happy Days

[vloeistof]

hope next big sony conference ( dont mind my english) will get a anouncement of god of war 3 and jak and daxter next gen

[tk]

Oh my kids will be so pleased with this. In this weak they rediscovered the Jak & Daxter DVD and was playing it for days on end again. R&C, J&D - new releases in HD - they are going to be so happy with this.

For those criticizing the "kiddy" aspect of these games - I played them all - and to be honest, there are very few games out there that match these two franchises. They are great, very similar in many respects - but great in their own right each.

For those who have PS3's - these two games are must haves - and if you have kids - even more so. You get all the action of most FPS, without the blood and gore. Little bit more from above view - more like a 3rd person shooter, but playable from the word go up to the end.

Bring it on Naughty Dog - you know you want to.
