This one doesn't look that bad, but why does every HD collection box art look like it was made by a middle school student learning to use photoshop?

RememberThe3574491d ago

Maybe it's apart of some industry cost cutting. :)

-Alpha4491d ago (Edited 4491d ago )

Should have used that vertical slideshow to depict the three games, as seen in Jak II

But whatever, just boxart.

bahabeast4491d ago

i dnt car about box art just give me the cd and im good, and make sure it has trophies :D

Nodoze4491d ago (Edited 4491d ago )

As someone who was never able to play them the first time, count me excited to play them in HD.

Now how about a Ratchet and Clank collection. I think Sony is holding it up cause they are still sore at Insomniac for going multi platform.

princejb1344490d ago

youll love the jak trilogy, one of the best series out there

and ratchet and clank is something different since there was more than 5 games on the ps2 for it, and if they want to include the one on the psp for clank

SpaceFox4491d ago

That just seems lazy. It's the Jak 3 boxart, with all 3 boxarts tacked on. They couldve definitely done something more creative.

They would never do that because they are known for a certain quality to their games which requires a lot of work. Sony would have to charge full price for the game and a lot of poor people will cry about the price.

I've played jak and Daxter recently and I can tell the games were amazing in there time. Sony would want a high quality release to attract old fans and new fans but I don't see that happening at all.

CaptainHenry916606d ago

Sony likes to rely on remakes now. So it's possible

CrimsonWing69606d ago

Wait, all they make now are remakes?

_SilverHawk_606d ago (Edited 606d ago )

You need to understand that a lot of people crying about playstation pledged allegiance to some other gaming company. Most of them only own a gaming system or two and it's quite evident which gaming console has been steadily releasing high quality games regularly for a while which has been the case for a few generations

SonyStyled606d ago (Edited 606d ago )

It’s my favorite franchise, and the reason I moved from Nintendo to PlayStation 20yrs ago. I would love to see a successor with the same crude humor, alcohol drinking, tobacco smoking, and sexual humor.
To replicate that atmosphere could upset a crowd today since platformers largely target children now.
Is there another platformer today that’s dark, gritty, and characters committing suicide (Krew)?
For platformers now it’s SpongeBob, Astrobot, and Ratchet…

neutralgamer1992606d ago

ND won't remake it but some other studio could do it. Especially with remakes now getting quality content/resources they maybe able to do jak and Dexter trilogy into one giant game with improvements

RaidenBlack607d ago

I doubt ND'll handle Jak & Daxter any time soon.
Instead Sony'll assign the Remake to some other studio(smaller), like team asobi or bluepoint (I know these studios are doing some other stuffs but I am just using them as examples) or even contact Sumo or Lucid.

purple101607d ago

Naughty dog should focus on new and Interesting ideas. Like they always do

goldwyncq606d ago

They've been stuck doing nothing but Uncharted and TLOU for 3 generations now.

--Onilink--606d ago

Lol at your disagrees, I love Uncharted and LoU, but its not even a subjective thing. They have quite literally only done Uncharted and LoU games for 3 generations (so far). In terms of new ideas, I wouldn’t necessarily make them to be some kind of example. There are plenty of other things in which they are industry leaders and thats perfectly fine

tay8701606d ago

well when you make masterpiece after masterpiece with those 2 with those ips, peope are going to want more of each. u might get your wish if the rumors of their next space themed ip strays crossong are true.

purple101604d ago (Edited 604d ago )

If I'm right...

Crash bandicoot ps1
Jack & daxter ps2
The last of us ps3
Uncharted ps3 & ps4 & Psp

Now it's time for something new for ps5

ClayRules2012607d ago

I’d personally love to see Bluepoint Remake Jak and Daxter, knowing their pedigree and respect to handling past remakes.

I want Naughty Dog to finish up Factions (knowing that according to Neil it’ll have a story for it’s MP, but also in some ways be it’s biggest game and most ambitious, if I’m not mistaken, someone correct me if I’m wrong! Haha.) Also, along with just gearing the team (s) I’m not sure if they’re doing 2 teams at the studio again or just one big team (minus a smaller group that worked on Part 1 for PS5) but would like to see them more focused on their next NEW iP exclusively for PS5, be it savage Starlight or something else entirely.

Either way, I’m looking forward to have my mind 🤯 lol

Profchaos606d ago

Same I'm so tired of hearing it's coming but never seeing it.

ClayRules2012606d ago

Me too. I hope if and when they show it, we’ll get a release date and or a beta maybe? I mean, we’ve waited so long for it.

ClayRules2012605d ago

Yeah, I’d be great to see them do it. I believe they’d do a really great job!

EmperorDalek606d ago

We'll get another Last of Us remake before they give Jak any thought.

Kakashi Hatake606d ago (Edited 606d ago )

The PS4 edition wasn't a remake, it was a simple remaster to give PS4 owners something to play. TLOU PS5 is the first remake they've ever done. Can't pretend that's all they do now. TLOU2 was an excellent sequel and that's rare after striking gold with the first game.

EmperorDalek606d ago

You say that like it isn't common knowledge. Yeah, it's a remaster that's still playable on PS5, therefore it isn't as necessary as something like Demon's Souls or Shadow of the Colossus. A Jak remake would have been just as welcome as those, but they instead chose to remake the one we're already able to play.

"Excellent sequel" I disagree, the story was a mess and the game was a chore to play due to the poor pacing.

ziggurcat2186d ago

yes to Resistance. Since I missed my chance on Heavenly Sword, I'd even be interested in a remaster of that.

bouzebbal2186d ago (Edited 2186d ago )

i want them to bring WipEout again.
That series is so amazing that we should have more of it.
Bring back MAG too sony.

UltraNova2186d ago

MAG 2 with a proper BR mode would do great these days. Sony is sitting on so many potential hits...

The_Jackel2186d ago

warhawk was soo much fun before mag came out

Army_of_Darkness2186d ago

I'd love a remastered trilogy of the resistance and Killzone series with enhanced visuals and framerate!

Stogz2186d ago

Absolutely, and its be nice if they included that co op mode from part 2, that was really fun.

bouzebbal2186d ago

Killzone 2 and 3 are 2 of my best ever games.
i don't think i want a remaster of these, i think we need a new episode inspired by these two.
No futuristic crap from SF..
KZ2 and 3 atmosphere was so good. SF was too shiny in comparison.

porkChop2186d ago

Resistance
The Legend of Dragoon
Syphon Filter
Socom
Twisted Metal

BlackTar1872186d ago (Edited 2186d ago )

This is a great list. I'd trade resistances for pandemonium.

Or battle arena toshiden or star gladiator

I know not all are made by Sony but great Games from ps1

notachance2186d ago

a modern Syphon Filter would be sick

G3ng4r2184d ago

Swap out legend of dragoon for seriously anything.

Godmars2902186d ago

Twisted Metal with "realistic" driving physics?

bouzebbal2186d ago

TM on PS3 was a massive flop.. people asked for it but didnt support it so no chance it will come back.
i have never been a fan of the series so i can't really judge the game cause i haven't played it on PS3.

P_Bomb2186d ago (Edited 2186d ago )

I wonder if a free-to-play Twisted Metal might be the way to go with that IP?

Tweak EatSleepPlay’s engine, slap on a Battle Royale alongside the standard MP fare, and make money the free-to-play way. Starter packs, booster packs, maps, skins, currencies, whatever. Then Sony could get another MP option out there without tacking it on to SP games.

So, keep the budget modest and expectations realistic. People might not wanna fork out $60 for car combat anymore, but they did love Rocket League. As a FTP with paid features, TM could tap into that certain demographic.

Goldby2186d ago

There's already too many BR games out or announced. We don't need more of this. We need less, alot less

FallenAngel19842186d ago

There definitely needs to be a new Ape Escape game

Also The Legend of Dragoon needs a remaster

badz1492186d ago

APE ESCAPE!!

Me and I think many others have been craving for a new entry to this series since last gen but Sony didn't do anything about it and not even now. WTF Sony? and by this I mean a full fledged campaing, not those cheap mini games collection!

gangsta_red2186d ago

I'm all for a Twisted Metal that's designed in an arena shooter type setting.

Add some actual racing modes, support it with extra tracks and vehicles over time and I think that can be Sony's next big hit.

Gazondaily2186d ago

Twisted Metal Black was the one!

gangsta_red2186d ago

Agreed, loved that game!!!
