Naughty Dog Hints at New Jak & Daxter Game

Developer Naughty Dog, the studio behind the Uncharted series, has hinted at a Jak and Daxter game for the PlayStation 3.

[Ikram]

Please be true.

[jeseth]

Pretty please!

[captain-obvious]

there is no hint !!!!!
all he said that they work on one game at a time (uncharted)and they'd love to work on it again
and they love they franchise (they better do since they made it)
just like what any other developer would say

soooooooooooooooooooooo
i dont see where is the hint

[GrieverSoul]

Jak and Daxter as a launch exclusive for the PS4
=
MINDBLOWING! :)

Loved the series. Im looking foward to a PS3 HD collection.

[I_find_it_funny]

doesn't exclude the possibility =/= hints

[lociefer]

ok despite the many disagrees i will get i will say this, they shouldve made jack instead of ratchet and clank for this gen, there i said it , i freaking love jack / dex

[young juice]

i think it would be a great move. give uncharted 3's awesomeness time to sink in and build anticipation for a sequel. in the meantime revive a classic franchise for a triumphant comeback and alittle something new.

@lociefer i agree

[MintBerryCrunch]

uhh there is nothing stopping ND from making Jak and Daxter...R&C was created by Insomniac

nobody knew that UC was going to become this super popular when the first was released

its just priorities...plus i don't think the studio is big enough to make 2 games at the same time without losing quality in both games because there arent enough people working on every little thing to make the game perfect in their eyes

[lociefer]

@MintBerryCrunch

+bubbles , i got mixed up ><

[jony_dols]

A new Jak game using the Uncharted graphics engine would be frickin sweet!

Maybe we might see a Daxter 2 game on the Vita......the first Daxter game was an underrated gem on the old PSP.

[InactiveUser]

New IP > another Jak & Daxter.

[TheDivine]

Id prefer if it was on the ps vita. Platformers are good on handhelds. Personally im over jak, ratchet, mario, and sly. Platformers are last gens genre, they were the fps of last gen. Uncharted is much better than jak, keep it going guys. Let someone else do a handheld jak.

[thugbob]

If they make a Jak & Dax game It'll be a day one buy for me.

EDIT: @TheDivine

You do know that Jak3 had open world in it right?

[Gray-Fox-Type0]

hooray! Its been long time since Jak & Daxter and was a nice platformer all though turned abit GTA at the end which was still cool and fun driving around and that.

But imagine the colourful and cartoon world of Jak & Daxter..with Uncharted graphics...

MINDBLOWN.

[Abash]

Please do a Jak and Daxter PS3 after Uncharted 3, Naughty Dog

[Black-Helghast]

Or they can make a Jak and Daxter HD Remake. That would make me really happy considering, Jak and Daxter: Percursor Legacy was the game that got me into PS2.

[ReservoirDog316]

That's basically the same thing they've been saying for years. I doubt it. Would be cool though.

[TheLastGuardian]

If Naughty Dog can make another Jak game then why can't Sucker Punch be the ones to make Sly 4? There might not even be an inFAMOUS 3 so why does Sanzaru Games say SP wouldn't have time to make another Sly game?

I wish Naughty Dog and Sucker Punch were bigger studios like Insomniac so they could work on 2 series at a time.

[Caffo01]

sly 4 has already been announced..

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[Pedobear Rocks]

@Caffo01

The point is that Sucker Punch isn't making Sly 4

http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

[DigitalRaptor]

"why does Sanzaru Games say SP wouldn't have time to make another Sly game?"

That's because they're working on a brand new IP for PS3.

[the_best_player]

Buy Crash Bandicoot back!!!!!!!!!!

Edit lols :)

[stevenhiggster]

Please be true indeed, Jak 2 is one of my all time favorites. Even just an HD remake of that would make me very happy indeed :-)

[subtenko]

Everyone loves these Playstation exclusives for a reason :)

good to be a Playstation gamer!

[mastiffchild]

New J&D for PS4 lanch?Not a chance. I LOVE the series but, being honest, I prefer Rathcet as they're just better realised games with tighter game play and fewer irritating characters. Daxter compared to Clank is a real pain in the bum hole that CAN be annoying as all hell and even a bit embarrassing so while a lot of fans would love to see this I just think it makes zero sense.Platforming royalty on PS3(R&C and J&D) just doesn't pull in the numbers pure platforming Mario does for Nintendo. The shooting and combat in both series makes them ,among other things a way more interesting, air iof series tome but the mass appealhadn't been there for R&Cand wouldn't be for Jak.

I just see either one more Uncharted to get the system(PS4) going and then a new IP or Jak to follow.

[showtimefolks]

for us is to get JAK 1,2,3 and jak combat racing in HD.

because ND are doing UC 3 and will do one more for sure before doing JAK. Sony knows that ND want to do JAK but my real question is we are seeing all these HD remakes even of PSP games yet we have all been asking for HD remakes of JAK and no sign,news or even any rumors of that.

I would buy JAK 4 when ever they will make it but i will also get JAK HD collection the day it launches

here is hoping we see it soon

[trainsinrdr]

interesting

[pepsilover_2007]

awesome!! nuff said

[YogiBear]

Your profile pic is a win.

[SonyNGP]

Hint shmint. You know that I know that we know that you know that a Jak 4 must be created!

[Prcko]

giefffffff

[Miiikeyyy]

I want, I waaaaant!

[Pintheshadows]

Awesome.

[MrSpace]

Yay :)

I hope they take full advantage of the PS3 and make it a massive open world game. Jak 2/3 kind of already did this with making it like GTA where you have to drive to your missions on the map but that was the PS2 days, they've done amazing things with Uncharted imagine what a massive open world Jak and Daxter game could be like. <drools>

[toxic-inferno]

As long as they don't overdo it. And being ND, I'm sure they wouldn't overdo it. I'm not sure that studio could make a bad game if they tried.

[kamakaz3md]

jak n daxter kinda reminds me of the zelda of playstation... platform, open ended to an extent... they gotta make this, sony always has the awesome exclusives, this will come... 2012 baby

[spacedelete]

they should scrap uncharted despite how good it is and make at least 1 more Jax game. greatest platformer ever yes sorry mario but Jax is better then you.

[dredgewalker]

why should they ever scrap Uncharted when they can still make both games? Both are great games and it helps boost the company's reputation.

[gunnerforlife]

how could you say scrap one game to make another game, when you cant even spell that game!!!

[Muitnorts]

I don't think they should scrap Uncharted, although they should let it rest for a little bit after Uncharted 3.
I'd prefer they created a new IP rather than another Jak game. Maybe an action game less constrained by the real world. I'd love to see the kind of insane set pieces they could do in a sci fi setting for example.

[Cloudberry]

.
Then Jak & Daxter Trilogy HD Collection must be released before that.

Just like Sly Trilogy HD before Sly 4.

[matgrowcott]

This would make perfect sense!

[toxic-inferno]

And I would DEFINITELY buy a Jak and Daxter collection, even though I've played the series over and over again on the PS2.

[Lucreto]

I believe a Jak collection will be announced at Gamescom for a Christmas release or early 2012 release.

I hope it contains
Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy,
Jak II.
Jak 3,
Jak X: Combat Racing.
Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier

[goku32359]

Dang, that would be a lot of games for $40 lol. I think they would probably make two collections, one with the original trilogy(jak 1,2, and 3) and one with jak X, daxter, and the lost frontier

[leahcim]

Dear ND

please make this for real:

JAK 4

Jak 3 was sooooooooooo awesome!!!

[Harelgur]

OMG

[remanutd55]

Jack and Daxter ps3/vita please

[Waddy101]

If this is true my Nerd Boner has just gone into Over-Drive :D
I recently finished playing through all 3 Jak games and if a fourth is in the works i'd be extremely happy ^_^

[LeftPawedFox]

So if a guy gamer gets a nerd boner whats a girl get?

[stevenhiggster]

A wide on ;-)

[LeftPawedFox]

i some how got a dissagree for asking a qustion... damn. :(

Well i guess i have a nerd wide on?

[Waddy101]

I wonder who i got a disagree from?

[xtreampro_REVENGE!]

Did you people even read the article? they literally said the same thing before UC2 came out. Most likely the'll never go back to the franchise.

Don't get your hopes up because ND are too busy riding on Uncharteds name now.

[mynameisEvil]

Guys, REVENGE! has a point.

How many Crash Bandicoot games have they done on the PS3? PS2? So, in the last decade, Naughty Dog has ditched Crash after 3 games and a racing title. Same with Jak. 3 games and a racing title.

Wait... I hope they aren't gonna make some wack-ass racing title for Uncharted. That'd just be awkward...

[Lucreto]

They didn't ditch Crash Universal interactive studios who published the game were bought out by Activision after CTR. ND was then bought by Sony so they couldn't make any more.

It is the same story with Spyro.

[Alos88]

I hope we get a HD collection of the trilogy at least.

[SAE]

yes , i love this game ..

[toxic-inferno]

No other game series has had me as hooked as Jak and Daxter. Even now, the likes of Uncharted and Assassin's Creed don't have the same effect on me that Jak and Daxter did back in the day.

I would be so excited if they announced a new Jak game for PS3, as long as it was made by Naughty Dog. The other entries in the series made by other studios failed to capture that Naughty Dog magic that makes the Jak series, and the Uncharted series, so spectacular.

[Darth Stewie]

This is great as I know their are many Jak fans but I myself like the Uncharted franchise better. I still wish that Sony get back the rights to Crash and let NAUGHTY DOG reboot that.

[GoldPS3]

I hope they bring it back. 1 of the best platforms ever made.

[SageHonor]

My fav franchise of all time

[wenaldy]

Yes, please... :)

[Darth Stewie]

It's Ooga Booga time cause Naughty Dog is da best

[user8397144]

If people really wants a game, people have to demand it. And not just a couple of people, it have to be hundreds of thousands.

[Hifist1]

Awesome if true.

[Vinushka]

OH MY GOD
OH MY GOD
OH MY GOD

Please let this be true. Jak and Daxter is my all time favourite game, and I have been waiting patiently a new Jak game for years. I would love, love, LOVE a HD collection and Jak 4. Make it happen, pweeease. :3

[shotgun_ps3]

Bout time.

[Redempteur]

so ..nothing ATM since their hands are full with uncharted ?

[shadowwizard]

How about Jak & Daxter HD Collection? I missed PS2 era and I'd love to play these games...

[B_Rian89]

didn't he say this a long time ago?

[Haseo106]

Hell yeah! Naughty Dog is the best! Make this comes true!

[xX-Jak-Xx]

Wow thats awesome
the best game ever all the time
Make it happen ND

[blackburn10]

Jak & Daxter is to good to let go. Crash was then. Just because they basically abandoned him doesn't mean they will do the same to Jak.In fact why not bring Crash back AND make a Jak 4? I am sure many fans would love to see another Crash Bandicoot with updated graphics and game play.

[Jamaicangmr]

Don't toy with my emotions please just make it Naughty Dog please.

[Barajas_201]

i want a jak and daxter collection + daxter and frontier psp hd, i just never finish jak and daxter 2 or 3, or the racing game, or the new psp frontier game, men im missing out! ND makes this happpen!!!

[moaradin]

I would buy a PS3 just for a new Jak and Dexter game.. The Jak trilogy were my favorite games on the PS2.

[Spenok]

While its sad this is in no way a confirmation, it does give me hope knowing the devs want to come back to the franchise. Let's hope thru do eventually.

[Mr_Luke]

YEEEEES!!!! Pleaaaaasee!!! O_o

[Peaceful_Jelly]

Jak & Daxter with Uncharted engine and epic set pieces. OMG, *drools

[JMyers]

OH Hell! Please be true.

[clarkdef]

ND to me still haven't toped Jak, those were real gamer games, with good challenge and variety.

[maxmill]

jak 4, another crash, syphon filter 4, and timesplitters 4 would make my life comlete

[LolololRumz]

If only this said Crash Bandicoot :( One day maybe

[MasterCornholio]

3 2 1 FIGHT

[Orionsangel]

I hope they go back to traditional platforming like the first Jak & Daxter. The sequels lost their way and tried to be more like Ratchet and Clank. Why must every game have gun weapons? I wanna explore vast worlds, collect items and try to getting passed obstacles. Mario style!

[BlueEye]

Now lets wait for Insomniac to announce more Ratchet and Clank, they got Spyro back, Naughty Dog got Crash back and we are in a dream!

[0321]

If this is true, Please Naughty dog. Please marry me! =D

[wh0am1]

its about time!!!!

[Shackdaddy836]

OMG I love J&D. The first one will always be one of my favorite games. I've probably beat it 10 times...

I remember I couldn't save the game for some reason so the only wait to beat it would be to play all day(and night...I think). My parents would get so pissed off at me. Lol.

[kza]

About time ND love these games!!

[Kluv]

that's a retarded hint, if it even qualifies as a hint. They literally jus said they'd like to work on it if they had the time. I'd like to climb mount everest if I had the time.

[Gigglefist]

I wouldn't. I need my oxygen.

[Gigglefist]

"Fads" always go full circle. The era of platformers is sadly gone (for now), but its revival is coming, or so I hope.

Sly Cooper, Spyro the Dragon, Jak and Daxter. I miss the days of light-hearted platformers.

[Awesome-Xanto]

I have never played Jak & Daxter... but it looks like there good games. I hope they do an HD collection before a new one though so I can experience it from the beginning. In all honesty in my opinion Uncharted 4 should wait until the PS4 releases... what more can they really accomplish with the PS3, from a hardware standpoint I think there at the max.

I didn't get to experience a lot of old PS2 games as I didn't get one until way late in its lifecyle and by then the new generation was more important. Which rememinds me I still need to go pick up all 3 GOW games. :/

[sonicriderZG8]

This is the same reply Evan gives every time the subject is brought up. Am I the only one who has noticed that? They've been saying this for the longest. This isn't new.

I'd love for them to return to the Jak and Daxter franchise in the near future though. A current generation Jak and Daxter title, for me anyway, would be the best thing to happen on the PlayStation 3.

[Sharingan_no_Kakashi]

DO IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIT!!!!!!

[Buuhan1]

Um, guys... did you even read the quote? This isn't "hinting" at a new Jak & Daxter game. They said it is something they'd like to do, but they're focusing on other things at the moment. Developers say this ALL THE TIME about past series they've done but are focusing on other series. Of course they'd like to make another one as it is a franchise they created and love, but that doesn't mean they're going to quit what's working for them to do it.

Sucker Punch talked about how they'd like to make a new Sly, but they were focusing on inFAMOUS. Now another developer is handling the next Sly game.

This is sensational journalism at its finest, making something huge out of nothing.

[2v1]

"We'd love to do it" pretty much means "We ain't doin it" these days.

Pass it off to a lesser dev I say.

[Whackedorange]

I surely hope that ND makes a Jak & Daxter game for the ps3 cause the two first was really good and one of the best games that came out on the PS2.

[csreynolds]

Hardly a hint. The guy said Naughty Dog would love to go back to Jak & Daxter, not that they will...

Personally, I'd much rather they brought Crash Bandicoot back - leagues better than J&D in my eyes.

[Bladesfist]

This game was the ps2. I loved it

[jopeussr]

About time!

[Chucky2003]

what a stupid title,there isn't anything that hints at a new game in that article,they just said they would love to go back to make a new game at some point

[xtreampro_REVENGE!]

Everyone's getting happy for nothing, but this proves that no one actually reads the articles anymore.
