Jak and Daxter once considered a staple game on the PS2 has since fallen out of the limelight and has yet to be seen on current generation consoles. The game`s primary developer the famous Naughty Dog has metamorphosed into a hardly recognizable company creating triple A titles such as Uncharted that arguably are for a more mature audience. In 2003, Didier Malenfant, a major developer from Naughty Dog left to form Ready at Dawn developers who have since taken the Jak and Daxter to the portable consoles and subsequently taken it from mainstream gaming.
Marvel's Spider-Man villain DLC potentially spotted via the debug menu that surfaced from the New Game+ title update released recently.
Speaking on what’s coming next for Naughty Dog, which could be either their new IP or The Last Of Us Part III, Druckmann gave what he seems to feel are realities of the project he’s talking about. That it’ll both be “really ambitious” but also “really hard.”

"I’ve really surrendered to knowing it’s going to be really hard, knowing it’s going to stress members of the team out"
As if crunch wasn't stressing them enough
That it’ll both be “really ambitious” but also “really hard.”
Not 'is' but 'will be', kinda suggests that they haven't started yet, hope not.
Come on ND, a game PLEAAAAASSSSEEEE. Desperate this gen.
Also, just off-topic slightly but..
Does anyone think that layoffs now may well be making space for AI integration of game development, and 'crunch-time', 'unsustainable', 'big budget' are all terms been used to butter us up to receiving the news that AI integration will help and maintain the level of AAA games that were accustomed to? Perhaps the layoffs were the devs that didn't join a union quick enough and if only they had the smarts of SAG members and strike while the time is right, before its too late?! Imagine DEV's on strike at a time like this, there's already a game drought.
The legal battle for the acquisition of Activision Blizzard continues, with Microsoft countering one of the FTC's latest moves and the Judge delaying a relevant ruling.
Look, to be honest the FTC should just stop.
MS has A/B and nothing has really changed yet...if you are worried about 5-10 years from now...just drop it cause the future is unpredictable.
Take this week's news, that 4 Xbox exclusive are going Multiplatform.
Just don't come back looking like the new Dante.
I think it's possible after Uncharted 3. Considering Naughty Dog usually makes a triology that spands the entire life span of a console. However, PS3 is going to be last longer, so Perhaps instead of Uncharted 4, they'll make this.
This is dumb. Naughty Dog doesn't have to stick with one franchise forever. They like to change with each generation. It would get boring if they only made Jak and Daxter games. Uncharted is a great franchise.
I have a feeling that Jak'll be back, old or new. Besides, people really condemned the last PSP game, it was actually pretty good.
I think we will see Ready at Dawn make a game for the PSV. I hope so anyway. I also believe that ND will not give up on Jak and Daxter as they do tend to listen to fans.
