Not only do i have to get TM in February but this also gonna be a good month for me.

Misterhbk4547d ago

Jak and Daxter HD Collection plus the Vita and everything I'm getting for it. Man I'm gonna be spending a lot of money in February. Good thing most of it will already be paid off so it doesn't seem like such a big hit all at once. Gotta go and preorder this soon. Can't wait for the collection.

Trainz4547d ago

All nostalgia aside I preferred this to Uncharted just because of the freedom.
Uncharted may have a better story but its far too short and linear.

zielocz3k4547d ago

i preferred Crash Bandicoot

Sizzon4547d ago

I like them all. Crash Bandicoot, Jak and Daxter and Uncharted.

ND is really a great developer. Too bad they sold the Crash IP, Bash was good, Eurocom did a good job, but after that Crash went downhill.

fluffydelusions4547d ago

Ah crash...I loved that series.

-Alpha4547d ago

I prefer this to Uncharted, too.

And IMO Jak has far more interesting characters, story, and universe than Uncharted. Jak is much more original and creative, I can't wait for this

Sevir044547d ago

Originality may definitely be in Jak and daxter's universe with the crazy weapons and all but its story was a bit diluted to me! Besides Uncharted's Cast of characters were ones a person can really relate to! and it was that ability to relate to the characters that really drives home its spectacular narrative and sucked you into those really over the top Hollywood moments.

Game play for jack and daxter may be open world but it wasn't as focused and reminded me more of ratchet! in the PS2 era, that is at its where platformers of that nature thrived! you'd be hard pressed to find a platformer like that thrive unless it's Mario or Zelda and Zelda wouldn't even be considered a platformer even though it had those elements!!!

Still its a great franchise and i think it's Great and shows that naughtydog is great at doing things different very well!!! ND did linear platforming with Crash, open world platforming with J&D, and Great Mature Focus 3rd person Platforming even though it's more linear than J&D.....

Toman854547d ago

This I must get. Jak And Daxter series on PS2 was one of my favorites. Played the first 8 times and the second and third 3 times each

So finally I can enjoy these once again with HD graphics and trophy support on all of them, excellent!!

Tommykrem4547d ago (Edited 4547d ago )

I think I've played Jak 2 well over ten times. For nearly a year Jak 2 was the only game I had on PS2. I miss the days when saving up to a memory card felt like a life's work... No, I don't, but I DO look very much forward to February! My favourite franchise :D

LarVanian4547d ago (Edited 4547d ago )

It would have been cool if they included Daxter with the three main games.
Looking at these games in HD makes me even more hungry for Jak 4. I honestly can't imagine what it would look like being built on the Uncharted engine.

baldulf4547d ago

Love the games and I was waiting for the HD remake since long ago, but this trailer is crap. It doesn't make the games justice.

_SilverHawk_608d ago (Edited 608d ago )

They would never do that because they are known for a certain quality to their games which requires a lot of work. Sony would have to charge full price for the game and a lot of poor people will cry about the price.

I've played jak and Daxter recently and I can tell the games were amazing in there time. Sony would want a high quality release to attract old fans and new fans but I don't see that happening at all.

CaptainHenry916608d ago

Sony likes to rely on remakes now. So it's possible

CrimsonWing69608d ago

Wait, all they make now are remakes?

_SilverHawk_607d ago (Edited 607d ago )

https://i.postimg.cc/66jwqF...

You need to understand that a lot of people crying about playstation pledged allegiance to some other gaming company. Most of them only own a gaming system or two and it's quite evident which gaming console has been steadily releasing high quality games regularly for a while which has been the case for a few generations

SonyStyled607d ago (Edited 607d ago )

It’s my favorite franchise, and the reason I moved from Nintendo to PlayStation 20yrs ago. I would love to see a successor with the same crude humor, alcohol drinking, tobacco smoking, and sexual humor.
To replicate that atmosphere could upset a crowd today since platformers largely target children now.
Is there another platformer today that’s dark, gritty, and characters committing suicide (Krew)?
For platformers now it’s SpongeBob, Astrobot, and Ratchet…

neutralgamer1992607d ago

ND won't remake it but some other studio could do it. Especially with remakes now getting quality content/resources they maybe able to do jak and Dexter trilogy into one giant game with improvements

RaidenBlack608d ago

I doubt ND'll handle Jak & Daxter any time soon.
Instead Sony'll assign the Remake to some other studio(smaller), like team asobi or bluepoint (I know these studios are doing some other stuffs but I am just using them as examples) or even contact Sumo or Lucid.

purple101608d ago

Naughty dog should focus on new and Interesting ideas. Like they always do

goldwyncq608d ago

They've been stuck doing nothing but Uncharted and TLOU for 3 generations now.

--Onilink--607d ago

Lol at your disagrees, I love Uncharted and LoU, but its not even a subjective thing. They have quite literally only done Uncharted and LoU games for 3 generations (so far). In terms of new ideas, I wouldn’t necessarily make them to be some kind of example. There are plenty of other things in which they are industry leaders and thats perfectly fine

tay8701607d ago

well when you make masterpiece after masterpiece with those 2 with those ips, peope are going to want more of each. u might get your wish if the rumors of their next space themed ip strays crossong are true.

purple101605d ago (Edited 605d ago )

If I'm right...

Crash bandicoot ps1
Jack & daxter ps2
The last of us ps3
Uncharted ps3 & ps4 & Psp

Now it's time for something new for ps5

ClayRules2012608d ago

I’d personally love to see Bluepoint Remake Jak and Daxter, knowing their pedigree and respect to handling past remakes.

I want Naughty Dog to finish up Factions (knowing that according to Neil it’ll have a story for it’s MP, but also in some ways be it’s biggest game and most ambitious, if I’m not mistaken, someone correct me if I’m wrong! Haha.) Also, along with just gearing the team (s) I’m not sure if they’re doing 2 teams at the studio again or just one big team (minus a smaller group that worked on Part 1 for PS5) but would like to see them more focused on their next NEW iP exclusively for PS5, be it savage Starlight or something else entirely.

Either way, I’m looking forward to have my mind 🤯 lol

Profchaos608d ago

Same I'm so tired of hearing it's coming but never seeing it.

ClayRules2012608d ago

Me too. I hope if and when they show it, we’ll get a release date and or a beta maybe? I mean, we’ve waited so long for it.

ClayRules2012606d ago

Yeah, I’d be great to see them do it. I believe they’d do a really great job!

EmperorDalek608d ago

We'll get another Last of Us remake before they give Jak any thought.

Kakashi Hatake607d ago (Edited 607d ago )

The PS4 edition wasn't a remake, it was a simple remaster to give PS4 owners something to play. TLOU PS5 is the first remake they've ever done. Can't pretend that's all they do now. TLOU2 was an excellent sequel and that's rare after striking gold with the first game.

EmperorDalek607d ago

You say that like it isn't common knowledge. Yeah, it's a remaster that's still playable on PS5, therefore it isn't as necessary as something like Demon's Souls or Shadow of the Colossus. A Jak remake would have been just as welcome as those, but they instead chose to remake the one we're already able to play.

"Excellent sequel" I disagree, the story was a mess and the game was a chore to play due to the poor pacing.

ziggurcat2187d ago

yes to Resistance. Since I missed my chance on Heavenly Sword, I'd even be interested in a remaster of that.

bouzebbal2187d ago (Edited 2187d ago )

i want them to bring WipEout again.
That series is so amazing that we should have more of it.
Bring back MAG too sony.

UltraNova2187d ago

MAG 2 with a proper BR mode would do great these days. Sony is sitting on so many potential hits...

The_Jackel2187d ago

warhawk was soo much fun before mag came out

Army_of_Darkness2187d ago

I'd love a remastered trilogy of the resistance and Killzone series with enhanced visuals and framerate!

Stogz2187d ago

Absolutely, and its be nice if they included that co op mode from part 2, that was really fun.

bouzebbal2187d ago

Killzone 2 and 3 are 2 of my best ever games.
i don't think i want a remaster of these, i think we need a new episode inspired by these two.
No futuristic crap from SF..
KZ2 and 3 atmosphere was so good. SF was too shiny in comparison.

porkChop2187d ago

Resistance
The Legend of Dragoon
Syphon Filter
Socom
Twisted Metal

BlackTar1872187d ago (Edited 2187d ago )

This is a great list. I'd trade resistances for pandemonium.

Or battle arena toshiden or star gladiator

I know not all are made by Sony but great Games from ps1

notachance2187d ago

a modern Syphon Filter would be sick

G3ng4r2185d ago

Swap out legend of dragoon for seriously anything.

Godmars2902187d ago

Twisted Metal with "realistic" driving physics?

bouzebbal2187d ago

TM on PS3 was a massive flop.. people asked for it but didnt support it so no chance it will come back.
i have never been a fan of the series so i can't really judge the game cause i haven't played it on PS3.

P_Bomb2187d ago (Edited 2187d ago )

I wonder if a free-to-play Twisted Metal might be the way to go with that IP?

Tweak EatSleepPlay’s engine, slap on a Battle Royale alongside the standard MP fare, and make money the free-to-play way. Starter packs, booster packs, maps, skins, currencies, whatever. Then Sony could get another MP option out there without tacking it on to SP games.

So, keep the budget modest and expectations realistic. People might not wanna fork out $60 for car combat anymore, but they did love Rocket League. As a FTP with paid features, TM could tap into that certain demographic.

Goldby2187d ago

There's already too many BR games out or announced. We don't need more of this. We need less, alot less

FallenAngel19842187d ago

There definitely needs to be a new Ape Escape game

Also The Legend of Dragoon needs a remaster

badz1492187d ago

APE ESCAPE!!

Me and I think many others have been craving for a new entry to this series since last gen but Sony didn't do anything about it and not even now. WTF Sony? and by this I mean a full fledged campaing, not those cheap mini games collection!

gangsta_red2187d ago

I'm all for a Twisted Metal that's designed in an arena shooter type setting.

Add some actual racing modes, support it with extra tracks and vehicles over time and I think that can be Sony's next big hit.

Gazondaily2187d ago

Twisted Metal Black was the one!

gangsta_red2187d ago

Agreed, loved that game!!!
