No thanks. After the lazy job Naughty Dog did with the PS3 version, they can keep it.

At least Insomniac bothered to upgrade the textures for the Ratchet & Clank Collection.

beakeroo14037d ago

I never saw the PS3 version tbh but once it is scaled down to Vita screen will the PS2 textures matter much? I'm interested in 3 good platformers for the price of one.

Godchild10204037d ago

Naughty Dog didn't do the HD remake, they just assisted with the conversion. "The transfer was handled by Mass Media Inc. with Naughty Dog assisting with the conversion of the games.[1]" from Wikipedia.

The real work was done by Mass Media. I haven't played much of the remake, but I would gladly play the Trilogy on my Vita.

360ICE4037d ago

I thought they did a pretty good job. Didn't notice any obvious flaws. And, hey, it was three solid games for the price of one. In particular the HD makeover of Jak 2 and 3 could have passed for next-gen.

Also, yeah, Naughty Dog weren't really the ones to do the main job in any sense.

Donnieboi4037d ago

Just having it in widescreen is good enough for me at that price point.

abzdine4037d ago (Edited 4037d ago )

shut up and try them first before spitting nonsense!
J&D Trilogy on PS3 looks gorgeous and those 3 games were really ahead of their time.

Good sony are releasing it for Vita so Vita owners can have 3 megahits to have fun with

extermin8or4037d ago

naughty dog and insomniac had no control over these and didn't create them.

jakmckratos4036d ago

THis is by far the dumbest comment I have ever seen on this site. If you're not going to bother to look up information about a game your WRONGFULLY insulting then don't bother to comment. The HD upgrade was fine

Who the hell cares about the quality of the textures????

JAK & DAXTER. ON. A. HANDHELD.

O.O

Genuine-User4037d ago (Edited 4037d ago )

Jak and Daxter was amazing on the PS2. I thoroughly enjoyed the HD Collection.

This is a dream come true on the Vita.

r214037d ago

Sweet, another game i never got the chance to play on ps2. Will buy if true :)

sherimae24134037d ago

ofcourse it is real! and that rumored assassin's creed rising phoenix, it will also be real! and also that 100 games for ps vita this year! ^_^

Sanquine904037d ago

I hope so! I am totally in persona 4 right now on vita and i wish persona 5 would be announced.

* PS i do not want to sound like the typical guy... But the girl on the picture looks very cute * your avatar* sorry for saying it.

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

Let's take it back to the old school.

_SilverHawk_600d ago (Edited 600d 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.

CaptainHenry916600d ago

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

CrimsonWing69600d ago

Wait, all they make now are remakes?

_SilverHawk_600d ago (Edited 600d 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

SonyStyled600d ago (Edited 600d 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…

neutralgamer1992600d 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

RaidenBlack600d 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.

purple101600d ago

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

goldwyncq600d ago

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

--Onilink--600d 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

tay8701600d 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.

purple101598d ago (Edited 598d 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

ClayRules2012600d 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

Profchaos600d ago

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

ClayRules2012600d 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.

ClayRules2012598d ago

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

EmperorDalek600d ago

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

Kakashi Hatake600d ago (Edited 600d 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.

EmperorDalek600d 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.

ziggurcat2180d ago

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

bouzebbal2180d ago (Edited 2180d 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.

UltraNova2180d ago

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

The_Jackel2180d ago

warhawk was soo much fun before mag came out

Army_of_Darkness2180d ago

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

Stogz2180d ago

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

bouzebbal2180d 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.

porkChop2180d ago

Resistance
The Legend of Dragoon
Syphon Filter
Socom
Twisted Metal

BlackTar1872180d ago (Edited 2180d 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

notachance2180d ago

a modern Syphon Filter would be sick

G3ng4r2178d ago

Swap out legend of dragoon for seriously anything.

Godmars2902180d ago

Twisted Metal with "realistic" driving physics?

bouzebbal2180d 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_Bomb2180d ago (Edited 2180d 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.

Goldby2180d ago

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

FallenAngel19842180d ago

There definitely needs to be a new Ape Escape game

Also The Legend of Dragoon needs a remaster

badz1492180d 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_red2180d 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.

Gazondaily2180d ago

Twisted Metal Black was the one!

gangsta_red2180d ago

Agreed, loved that game!!!
