Jak 4 – it’s finally time for a Jak & Daxter sequel

TSA writes: Despite lending their name to one of the best gaming trilogies, Jak & Daxter don’t enjoy the same all-star adoration as other PlayStation mascots. With the world still caught in an unfamiliar stasis, I found myself looking back, not forward, to those nostalgia-soaked days when 3D platformers were king. Back to when a pointy-eared lad and his Ottsel were PlayStation royalty.

Wanted one since the psp follow up to the trilogy🥺

XiNatsuDragnel1133d ago

Same Jak 4 would complete my life

Teflon021133d ago

Only if it's like Jak 1 as opposed to 2 and 3. Personally thought the first was the best

WeAreLegion1133d ago

I think they're all incredible, but I like the chill island atmosphere of the first one the most.

Storm231133d ago

Jak 1 was incredible. So much fun and such a great tone.

EmperorDalek1133d ago

Just so long as it's not like Jak 2 we'll be fine I say.

LucasRuinedChildhood1132d ago

Jak 1 is fun but 2 and 3 were way more fun for me, tbh.

How can you say no to a hoverboard that can also grind surfaces like a skateboard? haha

Limited Run Games Announces Jak 4 Exclusive Theme and Case

LRG:

Anyone who has purchased all four Jak & Daxter games (standard or CE) through us will be receiving this official Jak 4 commemorative case containing an exclusive theme for your PS4! We'll be contacting you if you're eligible.

Exvalos1621d ago

This a hint at Jak 4 coming out?????

NoneYuh1621d ago

No it’s a concept art cover that’s included as a bonus if you bought Jak 1-3 and Jak X racing from them

AnubisG1621d ago

I don't get the point of this.

Poopmist1621d ago

Idk. People who buy from LRG are pretty weird

NoneYuh1621d ago

How? It’s literally a place that helps make physical versions of previously digital only titles. That or new productions of really old games. That’s weird?

yellowgerbil1621d ago

I don't buy digital if there is any way to avoid it. I wanted that River City Girls game (because they're cute, and was craving some old school beat'em up action). So I waited 2 months and got the physical for 40 dollars. Being physical I can sell it back if I ever get buyers remorse, and the limited printing means I could probably get all 40 back in 10 or so years when ps4 nostalgia starts up for todays kids turned collecting adults.

Segata1621d ago

Says the guys named Poopmist.

-Foxtrot1621d ago

Jeez guys it’s just a fun little extra they are doing if fans bought the collectors editions of Jak 1-3 and Jak X

It’s not a serious thing...

ssj271621d ago (Edited 1621d ago )

Wow the concept art looks good i can see NAUGHTY Dogs making be like guardians of the galaxy type of jak a d dexter plataformer accion adventure space open universe. It does sound cool. And i never thought i will be interested. But if is more realistic, mature and well done it will be amazing. But seem way to big of a project but if someone can do it right is Naughty Dogs.

It will be a next step from naughty dogs in the right direction. Uff i can lnly imagine a d i am not talking about the old games style of plays idk how they played but i am talking about a mix of uncharted the last of us style with more plataforming . It will be like a stars wars, guardian of the galaxy style theme with a good history to bach it up. With a good Online will be mindblowing.

Lore1621d ago

This franchise as a fleshed out rpg with the same beloved story, quests/missions & platforming would be king.

There was no conclusive ending to the franchise. There was so much more that could be done. Jak still had to face being Mar. I mean, there would be at least one more trip back in time because he had to build the city.

But I do agree that rebooting would be better. Simply because this is a different naughty dog to the one who created jak and daxter. Different people with different ideas. If they're gonna take on jak and daxter again, better to start from scratch and make it their own from the get go rather than trying to be new while being laden down by the originals.

andrewsquall2927d ago

Exactly. Also if Naughty Dog aren't involved, then just don't bother please. We don't want another Jak and Daxter The Lost Frontier, Spyro the Dragon after the PS1 days or any of the Halos after Bungie stopped making them to happen.

ninsigma2927d ago

Yep, I agree. As much as I'd love another one of these games, it's probably best to just leave it as it is.

pecorre2927d ago (Edited 2927d ago )

To be honest, the last Sly game was not developped by the original team and it was very good. If Naughty Dogs don't do it (they won't because they'll make The Last of Us 2), Sony could give it to a good developper.

Sharingan_no_Kakashi2927d ago

I would agree that the creative minds are different and thus they would make a different Jak experience, but because that's the case I'd say they should just leave Jak alone for now. Jak is my favorite franchise and if they change it I don't think I'd be happy.

Also, after pondering I realized why Jak didn't get a movie. He's not really a family friendly character like Ratchet and Sly. But, it being animated would also limit it's adult audience. There really is no market for a Jak movie.

Kallisti2927d ago

*Jak and Daxter Shouldn't Get a Sequel until we get a new Crash Bandicoot first. There, fixed your title for you.

Will there ever be a Jak and Daxter 4? - The fans Jak 4 petition

Fans of Jak and Daxter have been asking Naughty Dog to make Jak 4 for many, many years now. Still, no such game has ever been made. However, no one thought that Shenmue 3 would ever happen either (which it is thank to Kickstarter and the fan community. So "maybe" Jak and Daxter 4 could happen with the help of the Jak community and Kickstarter?

IIFloodyII3189d ago

Naughty Dog tried and gave up making Jak 4, I doubt the want to try again anytime soon, maybe they'll let another studio take over, but I doubt it.

TGG_overlord3189d ago

That´s what I found out as well, and that would be a good plan B for sure. Naughty Dog could always try Kickstarter?

_-EDMIX-_3189d ago

Well its not Naughty Dog's IP for starters its Sony's and the team is one of the best teams in gaming, I'm pretty sure if they canned it, it was for good reason.

That doesn't mean no Jak 4, merely not the Jak 4 concept they where currently working on.

nucky643189d ago

yea - they gave up because they didn't feel the concept they were trying to use was working.....and judging from the concept art of jak, I can see why. they need to do a new J&D game but not lose sight of what made the games great: they were light-hearted and fun.

I don't want serious, military jak!

Majin-vegeta3189d ago

If they cant go with plan A then go with plan B.All Jak 1-3 remakes like the New R&C games.At least then they would keep us occupied.

_-EDMIX-_3189d ago

I think it should be remade sorta like how Ratchet 1 is being remade on PS4, but that may not even be Naughty Dog doing that as it could be another team.

Naughty Dog can always do a Jak 4 with a different concept, I don't think this means no Jak 4, juts not the one shown in those pictures.

first of all 3 completes the cycle anymore wont fit the story
first jak finds the precurser orbs and stuff
2nd he goes to the fuure and starts figuring out stuff what happened
3rd they send back young jak and younger old guy

nucky643189d ago

uh, no. if you saw the end of #3 - it definitely leaves the door wide open for the 2 to have entirely new adventures.

DragoonsScaleLegends3189d ago

Nope, fps and zombie games are the only games that will bring in the casuals. Naughty Gods future is not looking bright after Uncharted 4. I suspect more lesbian zombie dlc is coming.

DragoonsScaleLegends3188d ago

It's funny that you thought that I was trying to be.

Kingdomcome2473189d ago (Edited 3189d ago )

What? Did you watch the same UC 4 footage as everyone else? You are trolling , and you yourself don't even believe what you've typed. The only thing worse than a troll, is a troll without conviction. OT: If you guys could only choose one, which would you take? A new Jak & Daxter installment, or a new Crash?

Majin-vegeta3189d ago

I dont think I could choose both those series have deep sentimentals in my childhood ;_;.

DragoonsScaleLegends3188d ago

I said after UC4 the future is not bright, understanding English must be difficult for you. :(

Kingdomcome2473188d ago

Lol. I can pretty much guarantee that I both comprehend and speak English far better than you. Once again... what was it within the UC 4 footage that would prompt your response? It looks to me as though they've raised their own bar once again, which in turn means that they are still improving their craft, which gives plenty of reason to be more than hopeful for life after UC. Keep trolling, man.
