Jak and Daxter The Precursor Legacy PS3 vs PS4 Graphics Comparison

So here we are with yet another PS2 to PS4 title. This time Sony has decided to release cult classic Jak and Daxter The Precursor Legacy as a PS2 emulated game in 1080p on PS4.
Let’s compare latest PS3 HD remake and this PS4 version and see if emulation can be as good as specially treated graphics on last gen.

Jak and Daxter was far too successful to be considered "a cult classic"

cyckiewicz2819d ago

It depends on how you define "cult classic"

Elda2819d ago

Cult classic basically means something that hasn't reached commercial success but has a strong fan base & following,something underground or part of a subculture.Imo Ico & Shadow of Colossus would fall into cult classics.

darthv722819d ago (Edited 2819d ago )

There is no other way to define the term. What you are thinking is "cult classic" may actually be referred to as "nostalgia".

Cult classic is something under the radar that has become popular because of its below mainstream following. That does not describe this game at all.

Just edit your piece and remove the word "cult" and leave it as "classic" and problem is solved. J&D is a classic but it is a mainstream classic not a cult classic.

PhoenixUp2819d ago

Generally, the definition of a cult classic is a product that was not widely commercially successful, but has maintained a strong and dedicated fan following nevertheless.

Jak & Daxter achieved too many sales to be labeled as such.

cyckiewicz2819d ago

Well to me a cult vlassic is a game which I really enjoyed and getting back to it is the same enjoyable as it was years ago + many of gamers thinks the same :)

PhoenixUp2819d ago

That's what you would consider a general classic game, not specifically a cult classic

Liqu1d2819d ago

@cyckiewicz That's not what a cult classic is at all.

rainslacker2819d ago

A cult classic would be something more like Bonk on the TG-16, whereas a classic would be something along the lines of Sonic the Hedgehog. No one would ever define Sonic as a cult classic, because it's too successful. While bonk itself was successful for it's time, it wasn't wildly successful enough to have a huge fan base, but it certainly has it's followers and those who will speak fondly of it.

I think you're mistaking nostalgia as being the same as a cult classic. Cult implies small....or in this case, less than large following....but in this case also, a dedicated following who feels positive things about the thing in question.

why do some parts of the PS3 one look better than the PS4 one like the tree right at the start of the video and Jak looks better when they r focused on his face

GryestOfBluSkies2819d ago

the ps4 game is not the remastered version. its ps2 emulation

PhoenixUp2819d ago

PS4 version is a straight port while the PS3 version is a remaster

toxic-inferno2819d ago

With that in mind, you've got to admit that the PS4 version stands up well in comparison!

PhoenixUp2819d ago

PS3 version is in 720p while PS4 version is 1080p

Elda2819d ago

Never got into the Jak & Daxter series but I got this game for free from buying The Lost Legacy,so I'll try it out.

LoveSpuds2819d ago

As long as you respect the fact that this is an older game you will have the most fun. I loved these titles back in the day and got the Platinum in the HD remake on the PS3 and I am again, really tempted to play it again. The gameplay is super satisfying but it's the characters more than anything else that drag me back.

Elda2819d ago

I've played it for 2 hrs & it's just ok so far far as gameplay.I'm just running around collecting orbs but the characters are somewhat comical.

Nodoze2819d ago

Why has there not been another NEW Jak and Daxter title in the last two generations? Shame really.

LoveSpuds2819d ago

I concur, such a great series. I love 3d platformers and J&D is up there among my faves.

FallenAngel19842819d ago

Cuz Naughty Dog wanted to end the series on a high note, and we actually got two games in this series during the 7th gen

Doomster19712819d ago (Edited 2819d ago )

The PS4 emulated version doesn't seem as good as the PS3 remastered version. The emulated version has bilinear filtering. The remastered one has anisotropic filtering. I think I'll play through the remasted one again. I got the emulated version for nothing so I've not lost anything.

Underrated? J&D was one of the most popular IPs at the time, quite literally the face of the ps2 beside God of War

Outside_ofthe_Box328d ago

Would love to see a open world Jak 4 on the PS5, would be amazing, but I know ND said they'd never do it.

purple101328d ago (Edited 328d ago )

apparently there is a movie being made. I just cant get my head around what Sony is doing recently,

In regards to cancelling twisted metal game, when they push ahead with series 2 of the tv show, surely she show is meant to promote the game, where the real profits can be made.

Now we hear of a Jan and daxter film, (an old ps2 game) but NO new game to go with it,

mind boggles:

Sony Pictures, PlayStation Productions Releases & In Production:

• TV Shows:

-HBO: The Last Of Us Season 1
-Peacock: Twisted Metal Season 1
-HBO: The Last Of Us Season 2 & 3
-Netflix: Horizon
-Peacock: Twisted Metal Season 2
-Amazon Prime: God Of War
-Disney+: Films/TV Shows
-Hulu: Films/TV Shows

• Movies:

-Uncharted
-Gran Turismo
-Ghost Of Tsushima
-Jak And Daxter
-Gravity Rush
-Until Dawn
-Uncharted 2

Master-Tonberry327d ago

I wasn't aware that ND said they'd never do it...

I know they said it would difficult for them to go back to it after doing super high fidelity, gritty, realistic stuff like Last of Us but I didn't think they'd ruled it out completely.

Outside_ofthe_Box327d ago

They didn't say never, but was basically what they said. They actually tried making a new Jak, but what they were making was straying far from it's roots so they canned it. They're just in a different mindset when it comes to developing games compared to when they made Jak.

XiNatsuDragnel327d ago

Jak and dexter is known franchise Sly Cooper was more hidden one tbh.

darthv72327d ago

...and he was trying to stay hidden because he was a thievius racoon.

Demetrius327d ago (Edited 327d ago )

Seeing jak&d left in the past like that really makes me appreciate nintendo even more for atleast keeping mario, zelda, metroid, and others around while making em still feel fresh, Playstation should have another gem besides astroboy and ratchet&clank

gold_drake327d ago

i wouldnt call jack and daxter underrated.

its a beloved franchise that pretty much was one of the biggest games on the ps2 and psp
