Ratchet & Clank Remake Could Pave The Way For Jak And Daxter

Even though Naughty Dog says they just couldn't find a way to make a new J&D work, if the R&C remake is a huge success, well...dare we hope?

Well a re-telling-remake seem to be the best way to go with most of our old franchises. It's killing 2 birds with 1 stone at the end of the day. You are remaking something but you are also creating something new which doesn't ruin the old games so if anything goes wrong you can just hop back over to the other Universe.

Worked for the Resident Evil remake, I still count that as a new world separated from the original. It kept the same characters, same locations, similar story but expanded on the mansion and lore. People get so attached to characters that instead of pumping out another sequel which will prolong an already closed story at least this idea allows developers to tell a story in a different way. One small change in the first game could change the entire timeline of future games.

I think it would work in Jak and Daxter. I mean it would be fantastic to get back to the lush green areas with bright vibrant colours which we found in the first game unlike Jak II and III. Although that's not saying those wouldn't be nice to see in a sequel to it since those games were just as good.

If they wanted, they could change the ending so they never go into the future. What would happen that never went through the portal and that storyline was overwritten by something else. Kor's Metal Head army still could come through the Gate when they activate it but what if the gang end up staying behind and we battle Kor along with his army in future games. Who knows, but that's the best thing about the reboot-retelling concept, you can have absolute fun with it and not worry about harming the old games.

If they wanted though they could still go with Jak 4, a direct sequel (hopefully they ignore Lost Frontier as non canon) if it's revealed that Jak wasn't just named after the ancient hero Mar but was actually Mar himself.

It's said that Kor chased Mar through "space and time for eons" and a time travelling concept would be great for a new trilogy, battling the returning Kor (or his past self anyway) in different time periods as you try to hide the very last precursor egg like what Mar was supposed to have done until in Jak 6 when you are seen establishing Haven City to protect it and create safe haven for people against Kor. It would really close the loop on the whole story and it would be great to see Jak get older in the new trilogy. It's also said Mars vanished before he could kill Kor, he didn't actually die. It's said

"He disappeared before he could use his weapon powered by the Precursor Stone against Metal Kor and the Metal Head race. He was believed to be buried in the Tomb of Mar along with the last Precursor Stone"

So what about as Jak/Mar is about to kill Kor he's transported back to the present. Kor continues his siege against the city with Mar gone and is finally killed by a past version of Jak which arrives in Jak II. This would finally close the entire arc.

It's exciting.

...Yeah...

i like both series, lots of fun, but i'm not so sure naughty dog would be involved very much if sony went ahead and wanted another.

i myself would like to see another jak game.

Err! Ratchet and Clank are made by Insomniac Games, Idol Minds and Mass Media Games, while Jak and Daxter were made by Naughty Dog (2001–2013), Ready at Dawn (2006),High Impact Games (2009), Nihilistic Software (2011) and Mass Media Inc. (2012–2013). The only common developer is Mass Media Inc.

So how can people think there will be another Jak and Daxter game? Yes it may be possible but until the developer(s) come out and state there is going to be a game then this is all wishful thinking.

[Aloy-Boyfriend]

TLoU directors have expressed their frustration about the changes Jak 2 went through. I personally liked that game even tho it was kinda hard to get into, but I tolerated it until i grew with it. Now Jak 3 was amazing.

Imo they should start rebooting the series with Jak II and remake it like R&C.

[NotanotherReboot]

Why start at Jak II?

[RevXM]

Well Jak 2 changed a lot, but if they were to reboot Jak and daxter they could just make changes to the first game so that the transition into 2 would be smoother.
Make it grittier and play more like the next two games. the story in the first game is too vital to just start the story at where the second game starts. :/

Oh but yeah Jak shouldnt utter a word or speak much in the first Jak game if rebooted, it makes his tranformation in the second game that much more powerful.

Would be a dream if games like Jak and Daxter, Sly Cooper, Crash Bandicoot and Spyro come back for PS4.

[RevXM]

Sly cooper might come back. They are making a movie so Im betting they are making a game too.

What I said in the comments section of another Ratchet and Clank article the other day.

[ThatGuyDart]

This is on you PlayStation Nation. If you want a new Jak and Daxter, GO OUT AND SUPPORT RATCHET AND CLANK! Buy the game, go take the wife and kids to go see the movie. Show Sony that we are serious and we will get what we want.

[FallenAngel1984]

It's more likely that we'll get a game based on that upcoming Sly Cooper movie.

[talocaca]

I would buy it immediately! J&D was one of my favorite PS2 games (didn't really like 2,3).

If announced in a similar fashion to R&C it would easily be my most anticipated game.

[ninsigma]

I would love jak and daxter back and being made by the original creators and have it continue on the story.

[MrsNesbitt]

Yes please!

[SoulWarrior]

As long as it's like the first game and stays well away from the mini game fest that 2/3 were full of.

[bobtheimpaler]

Sign me up.

I'd like to see Naughty Dog do it.

I love Uncharted and TLOU, but I'd really like to see games like Jak and Daxter make a come back. Really tired of the realistic looking games. Bring on the fun and wonder!

Got R&C preordered and I'll definitely see the movie in the theatre on release.

[Darkfist]

if its like the first one then yes, if not then other devs should make the next J&D game, better than Naughty Dog, just focusing on platforming and Eco power.
