Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy (PS4) Review | GameHope

Even though many have been celebrating Jak and Daxter's return on PS4 since last April, the port of the first game has a few notable problems: unstable framerate, drooling textures, bugs and glitches of all sorts, a copy-pasted list of trophies, audio saturation and badly compressed dialogue audio... Available at fifteen euros if you didn't pre-order Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, die-hard fans normally expect a port done with a little more care than that.

It's not a remaster, it's just a straight port. There's a section of other games just like it on PSN.

What kind of shoddy journalist are you to not know something so basic?

Ratchetlombax2800d ago (Edited 2800d ago )

The "remastered" label has been misused for a while, since a lot of games labelled as "remasters" are, in fact, ports. I do agree we're talking about a port here, but I believe there's still a little bit of work involved in putting this PS2 game on PS4 (although not enough), which should qualify this game as a remaster. However, the fact that it's a port shouldn't explain the visual glitches and the retail price put too high for what it's worth.
Fixed the title though.

this is medias problem nowadays. using names they have no idea what they mean just to get exposure.
J&D is a must have, but not something i would recommand to those who have the PS3 HD remaster, which is great btw.

FallenAngel19842800d ago

By that logic you'd consider every game featured on Virtual Console a remaster as well as all the PlayStation Classics on PSN.

A remaster always has a team working on it and touch up the assets while these straight ports require no such effort from developers at all. It's the exact same game that it originally was released as.

But it's not a remaster 🤔

nevin12799d ago

Why is the PS4 $14.99 considering the Collection is $10 on PS3/Vita?

chris2352799d ago

one can check by the pricing for ps2 games in the store if it's a remaster or remake or a very very low to no effort. cashing in on these unaltered titles is THE audacity this gen. but i guess more that a few people are buying these titles blindly, so we get more and more of these no efforts. no effort = no money. this should be the normal reaction.

I am not surprised imo because it felt like that for awhile.

S2Killinit5d ago

Truth is that it was always sort of a lie. You were getting a couple of “day one” per year but they had trained people to think they were going to get all games day one.

GhostScholar5d ago

That is just false. It was never even eluded to that any games other than first party would be day one. Also it’s only April and we’ve already got more than “a couple” day one games.

TheEroica5d ago

What a misinformed comment... As bad a take as I've read in a while.

InUrFoxHole5d ago

Cmon guy. You really believed all games were coming day one when they've always said 1st party only?

S2Killinit5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

They did it really carefully, i didnt say they ever said “all games are day one” but they created an impression like that was the case. For instance nowhere did people actually see a list of day one games in articles or from MS’s mouth, but they kept saying “all first party” as if the number of day one games was something amazing. Truth is that they were getting a couple of games per year max on average. (Not sure what its like now)

@GhostScholar
Again, not sure what you got this year. But honestly is it even remotely worth it? Also, they get “day ones” on PSPlus as well, just not first party, and they are not paying $20/month for it.

FinalFantasyFanatic5d ago

It's not like they could do any differently, it takes a lot of money to keep the Gamepass monster fed, to put the majority of games on there day one is just going to drain too much money. They may have considered it at one point to try and kill off Playstation/Nintendo, but it's not a viable long-term strategy.

That's an interesting way to interpret it I suppose.
