In a recent interview Naughty Dog co-president Evan Wells hinted at a possible resurrection of the developer's PS2 platformer Jak & Daxter:
"Maybe we could go to Jak and Daxter as the next project. Maybe we stick with Uncharted [laughs]. Maybe we come up with a new IP. It's tricky to be able to tackle all of those at once. Right?"
Game developers have a habit of doing this. They say something without thinking about the ramifications of teasing people with words. Words that they ponder over. Like why they think there most definitely should be a new Jak & Daxter game on PS3. Here are six reasons why.
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 WellPlayed team has come together to share which video games they’d like to see turned into a TV show.
To introduce me to the franchise... I seriously want to try this game out and I would have to pick it up if it came to PS3 :)
Im pretty sure this game would be another nice addition to the extensive genres out on PS3 and would build its robust library nicely ;D
"ps3 needs this and that and this and omg it totally needs that"
When will the PS3 stop needing stuff?
the day you get laid.
but unlike you the ps3 gets attention.
Hey, i found a pic of you aka bungie.
I wholly agree with this article!
Imagine the graphics using Naughty Dog Engine...
