WC writes: At the beginning of the year, Naughty Dog, creators of Crash Bandicoot, The Uncharted Series and The Jak and Daxter Series revealed that before they were in the business of making next year’s “The Last of Us”, they were seriously planning a new Jak and Daxter. Having been waiting for a current generation Jak 4 for longer than I’ve been waiting for a Half Life 2 Episode 3 (or Half Life 3 as it better be called now), the news that there might just possibly be a new game got me very, VERY excited. Like Christmas morning when I was 14 (subsequently, the year I got Jak 3 for Christmas).
The child in me died when I realised that we will probably never see this game anytime soon (if even at all), and worse than that, the reasons for this were unbelievably stupid, and arguably what’s wrong with modern gaming, modern films, and pretty much modern everything.

They are working on something new. Not to be rude but it is impossibility stupid to think ND next major announcement is going to be a remaster or their next Last of Us entry is going to be another remaster.
I think this is in response to them releasing a remaster for the sequel, a game that didn't need a remaster.
Basically a "why did you put out a remaster no one asked for when you have all there options available"
They remaster is to put out something quick while they are deving new stuff. I don't get how people can be so static.
That was a Remake. I guess they could do that to 2, but man…. They should wait a couple generations so it can look like a major upgrade.
The team is sad for losing out on such a great project but celebrates its growth because of spending time on it.
All they had to do was make a basic online mode like their previous games. Instead they wanted more money and choose to go live service which makes games worse in my opinion.
What a waste of time and money, what a shame.
I can't wait for season 2 so they can kill Joel off in the first 2 episodes!! Then it will be just Abby and Ellies revenge plot!
Something is telling me that this won't happen though because it wouldn't make sense, oh wait
Not sure why they didn’t just make Factions 2. There was no need to make it a live service.
TLoU Factions was a great addition such a shame they couldn’t be bothered to remaster that for PS5 considering the crazy high price tag of the remaster of a remaster…
This is something to be celebrated. This studio is smart and they get it, even factions 2 wouldn't've have been worth the time. I am surprised they didn't just remaster the first one though, but actually how popular was Factions?
If there will be a Jak 4 there must be a Crash Bandicoot 4 imo
made my ND of course.
naughty dog likes to try new things which is cool and all but i want them to make more platformers, thts the naughty dog that everyone loves.
ND's game trilogies are growing up. They did the wacky and silly Crash, then a more serious and wacky Jak which got darker as it went on, then Uncharted and it's more action adventure focus and realism. Now they are working on Last of Us, a dark and very realistic approach to interactive and nonlinear style linear gameplay and story. I think we may see another Jak or Crash, or even Uncharted, but this is the next line of ND masterpieces.
I'd love one too but at least we still have Ratchet & Sly.
I actually think Jak 4 would do really well sales wise. Ratchet and Clank got milked and kind of worn out, but Jak 4 would be something fresh.
