This is a great deal, and would totally get it, if I already didn't have it

toxic-inferno3961d ago

Agreed. That is an incredible deal! I also own the game (and still own all of the original PS2 copies... for reasons I'm not quite sure of...), and if I lived in America, I'd be very tempted to buy a second copy of this game for that price, just for lending to people, or in case my copy stopped working.

Basically, if anybody reading this is a fan of platforming games, but hasn't played this trilogy yet... purchase this.

Xaphy3961d ago

buying this for vita but waiting for price to go down. Being a first party title the price usually go down fast.

jony_dols3961d ago (Edited 3961d ago )

Vita version all the way!

GentlemenRUs3961d ago

But the physical copy does not contain the cross-buy for the vita version, That's why its cheap now ;)

E2S3961d ago

On gamestop and with a $5 coupon, I got it for 5 bucks. too good to pass up.

Amplitude3961d ago (Edited 3961d ago )

Guys its 9.99 at Gamestop/EB Games today. Online only but still!

http://www.ebgames.com/ps3/...

E2S3961d ago

if you do store pickup, it's still 9.99. Awesome find. Never played J+D but this may be too good to pass up.

TheDarpaChief3961d ago

Never played it (got it today) any opinions on it? Like is it awesome, crap, long, or short? Just honest curiosity

AusRogo3961d ago

All 3 are awesome. Though some missions in Jak 2 are incredibly frustrating! If you love action/adventure platformers you'll love the Jak and Daxter trilogy..

toxic-inferno3961d ago

Agreed. Two missions from Jak II spring to mind as being particularly frustrating...

The first game is relatively short compared to the other two. When I got the HD trilogy last year, I managed to complete the first game (and platinum it) in a single day. But I would say that both II and 3 are longer than your average game.

If it's anything to go by, both Jak II and Jak 3 have held world records for the largest number of cutscenes in a game.

Also, just a tip: the first game plays a lot more like a standard platformer, whereas the second and third are based in a grungey, open-world city, and play quite differently.

E2S3961d ago

More cutscenes than MGS4? Inconceivable.

toxic-inferno3961d ago

I did say they "held" the world records. MGS4 has probably overtaken them now!

Although MGS4 doesn't have lots of cutscenes... it just has several VERY long ones.

TheDarpaChief3961d ago

Well thats wonderful then. I couldnt pass up the ten dollar gamestop deal and i have something to look forward to once this goddamned last of us high goes down. Any of you guys beat it yet?

AusRogo3960d ago

@Darpa yes :) couldn't keep off em back on ps2, , same with the collection years later.

Naughty Dog Should Remake Jak and Daxter, and Here's Why

Let's take it back to the old school.

_SilverHawk_598d ago (Edited 598d ago )

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.

CaptainHenry916598d ago

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

CrimsonWing69598d ago

Wait, all they make now are remakes?

_SilverHawk_598d ago (Edited 598d ago )

https://i.postimg.cc/66jwqF...

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

SonyStyled598d ago (Edited 598d 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…

neutralgamer1992598d 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

RaidenBlack598d 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.

purple101598d ago

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

goldwyncq598d ago

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

--Onilink--598d 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

tay8701598d 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.

purple101596d ago (Edited 596d 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

ClayRules2012598d 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

Profchaos598d ago

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

ClayRules2012598d 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.

ClayRules2012597d ago

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

EmperorDalek598d ago

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

Kakashi Hatake598d ago (Edited 598d 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.

EmperorDalek598d 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.

ziggurcat2178d ago

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

bouzebbal2178d ago (Edited 2178d 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.

UltraNova2178d ago

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

The_Jackel2178d ago

warhawk was soo much fun before mag came out

Army_of_Darkness2178d ago

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

Stogz2178d ago

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

bouzebbal2178d 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.

porkChop2178d ago

Resistance
The Legend of Dragoon
Syphon Filter
Socom
Twisted Metal

BlackTar1872178d ago (Edited 2178d 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

notachance2178d ago

a modern Syphon Filter would be sick

G3ng4r2176d ago

Swap out legend of dragoon for seriously anything.

Godmars2902178d ago

Twisted Metal with "realistic" driving physics?

bouzebbal2178d 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_Bomb2178d ago (Edited 2178d 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.

Goldby2178d ago

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

FallenAngel19842178d ago

There definitely needs to be a new Ape Escape game

Also The Legend of Dragoon needs a remaster

badz1492178d 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_red2178d 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.

Gazondaily2178d ago

Twisted Metal Black was the one!

gangsta_red2178d ago

Agreed, loved that game!!!
