Naughty Dog has announced that Jak and Daxter Trilogy will be available on the PlayStation Vita in June.
The Jak and Daxter Trilogy were crucial to the success of the PlayStation 2. Let's take a look back at the trilogy and the expansion games.
The original is still a favorite of mine, but I didn't like the dark and gritty turn they took the series.
The first true next Gen game on ps2.
Before that game came out I really felt like my ps2 was not as powerful as Sony advertised it. Clearly, I was wrong
😉
I played Dark Cloud and NHL 2001 which were massive upgrades to PSOne and N64 titles. But I do think outside the fact I played Dark Cloud wrong and struggled to get anywhere because resource management at like 10 or 11 wasn't an ideal stress to give me lol, Jake and Daxter was the first big title I got that made me as impressed as the ritual scene opener for Dark Cloud. After those, think I got Final final fantasy X which looked godlike at the time and played spyhunter which I don't remember graphically. But the fluid essentially of Jak and Daxter running at high framerates, and coming from Conker, Banjo, DK64 and such. That game was a mega highlight and was my fav until Ratchet and Clank the next year
Tekken Tag Tournament was a true next gen game on PS2 and was one of its launch games.
If Naughty Dog truly doesn't have an interest in Jak and Daxter they should give Ember Labs(Kena) a shot at it. I want a Jak game in their engine.
Probably ran it into the dirt with the dark jak stuff and didn't know how to properly bring it back. Personally hated the direction for Jak 2 and 3 while I did like 3. They should have stuck to making them like the first game but more expansive and bigger story
2 and 3 were the best of the series IMO. Perfect combo of action adventure, platforming, gunplay, crude humor. The first was full of fun platforming, but lacking of the rich atmosphere and conflict the sequels had with the character the main and 2nd characters the sequels also had. “Oooh hey Jackie boy,” “hey sweet stripes, give me your digits.” Yea, I loved the crude humor of 2 and 3
Titles such as Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, Nier: Automata, Ratchet and Clank, and God of War have encouraged many gamers to invest into a PS4. However, there are franchises that Sony should consider reviving. Here are 5 franchises Sony should revive.
yes to Resistance. Since I missed my chance on Heavenly Sword, I'd even be interested in a remaster of that.
i want them to bring WipEout again.
That series is so amazing that we should have more of it.
Bring back MAG too sony.
MAG 2 with a proper BR mode would do great these days. Sony is sitting on so many potential hits...
I'd love a remastered trilogy of the resistance and Killzone series with enhanced visuals and framerate!
Absolutely, and its be nice if they included that co op mode from part 2, that was really fun.
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.
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
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.
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.
There's already too many BR games out or announced. We don't need more of this. We need less, alot less
There definitely needs to be a new Ape Escape game
Also The Legend of Dragoon needs a remaster
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!
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.
Cute and often rather helpful; animals make great companions in video games, just as they do in real life. Here are the 10 best animal companions in video games.
I hope it has cross save.
That's pretty cool. I'm just going to get the PS3 version cause I can get it for under $20.
And people are complaining and bitching about nintendo bring old games back. lol
NINTENDOMINATION.
Feels good for there to finally be an official announcement of it :D
Sooo pre-ordering as soon as I'm able to, omg. :)
Well i guess that confirms it, i suppose while they are it they could also add the ratchet and clank hd collection and sly hd collection as well the god of war hd collection.
I would really like to see a dark cloud collection and rogue galaxy hd on the vita.
Perhaps a GTA hd collection would also be nice to have, loved vice city and certainly wouldn't mind replaying san andreas.
I am not a huge fan of all the ports, but i dont mind when it comes to ps2 classics.
