Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier was confirmed by High Impact Games on April 1 2009 for release on November 18, 2009. At E3 2009 a trailer was released for the game. Naughty Dog has sold the game development rights to High Impact Games, will this make it better or worse? Initially, Naughty Dog hadn't had any plans for future Jak games, with only hints and comments providing clues to their decision. However, a trademark for a possible Jak and Daxter game was registered at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office called Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier. This was evidence that some sort of Jak game may be in the works. Co-President Evan Wells later stated that the new technology in their Uncharted: Drake's Fortune engine may be used for a new Jak and Daxter trilogy, as well as saying that "there is a lot of interest around the office in going back to that franchise [Jak and Daxter] and seeing what we could do with it using the Uncharted engine." Then, several prototype game cinematics were also leaked onto the Internet featuring old and new game characters in unfamiliar situations (Jak has short-cut hair and, along with Daxter, is interacting with new allies and battling new foes).
The dual protagonist nature of some games have led to numerous dynamic duos in gaming. Here are some of the best ones.
The Prince and Farah
Few others:
- Booker and Elizabeth
- Joel and Ellie
- Jade and Pey'j
- Jak and Daxter
- Nate and Sully
- Master Chief and Cortona
- Gordon and Alyx
Fans who pine for the days of Naughty Dog’s Jak and Daxter are in for some good news, as the complete series is now playable on PS5 with trophy support. This isn’t just the trilogy either, as the PSP games and Jak X are also available, so hardcore Jak fans can now relive these great titles.
Underrated? J&D was one of the most popular IPs at the time, quite literally the face of the ps2 beside God of War
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.
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:

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.
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.
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
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
The PS2 still took plenty of inspiration from the arcade, leading to a lot of frustration over ottsels, stunts, and, uh, hands of God.
Out of the games on that list, I've beaten:
Maximo
God of War II (but on PS3)
Jak II
Stuntman
Jak and Daxter is my fave series by far. Hopefully, it's still just as good even though Naughty Dog isn't making the game.
I have full faith that this will be good. Little bit scary it isn't ND making it, but High Impact have proved that they can do the job fine with both Ratchet and Clank games on the PSP, although, I do wish it was Ready at Dawn making this one again because of the great job with Daxter.
it should be ok i guess will have to wait and see
PS.Chuck Norris doesn't read books. He stares them down until he gets the information he wants.
looks like another good game for the PSP
What studio has taken up this jak game?
