If you're a rabid fan of the series, the "Lost Frontier" title might sound familiar to you. Way back in 2006, Sony patented the moniker with the description of a "real-time online networked game," but it would appear that initial idea fell through. See, Lost Frontier on the PSP and PlayStation 2 is a strictly single-player affair that picks up shortly after Jak 3 while focusing on platforming, combat, and vehicles. Keira has set out on a spirit quest and the boys are trying to figure out what is behind the world' sudden eco shortage. The journey will take the trio to "the Brink" of the universe -- the very place the Precursors didn't get around to finishing -- so expect jagged rocks and cliffs that lead to nothingness.
Reboot Jak and Daxter instead of making Jak 4.
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.
*Jak and Daxter Shouldn't Get a Sequel until we get a new Crash Bandicoot first. There, fixed your title for you.
Ratchet and Clank, Sly Cooper, and Jak and Daxter ruled the roost back in the PS2 days. But how do they fare going up against each other?
Jak and Daxter for me. Loved that series. That franchise is in my top 5 of all time. Ratchet and clank would be next. I didn't play sly cooper back on ps2 or ps3. I got the trilogy on vita and it's good but no where near as good as the other two I thought.
I liked Jak & Daxter the best.
However it is great we got HD collections of all these great franchises last gen.

When I took over the SCEE PlayStation Blog a month or two back, I promised you a few new regular features. Today, I’m happy to unveil the first of them: Behind The Classics. Every fortnight (well, that’s the plan at least), we’ll be talking to the creative force behind a vintage PS One or PlayStation 2 title. To kick things off, Naughty Dog co-founder Andy Gavin was kind enough to lend us his time to discuss the making of seminal 2001 PS2 platformer Jak & Daxter.
Good read.
There are simply not enough 3D platformers like this around any more. It's why I'm anticipating Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time and the new Ratchet & Clank so much. I hope next gen ditches the overwhelming FPS obsession and brings about a new wave of action platformers.
Love this idea for the psblog....the internets wasn't all that big when a lot of these things came out and now that it is the info should be spread to the people.
Jak and Daxter will always have that special place in my heart. They where my childhood. Im so glad they released the collection.
I am not happy at all. I wanted a PS3 version of this game. This is not fair.
At last I can rest. But I still want to see this franchise on the PS3, hopefully the GoW:CoO back of the instruction book trick will happen with this.
Lets hope they release on the PSN as well.
The comments above me covered everything.
it is getting game announcements ever other day.
