Chris Rock Could Have Been in Jak and Daxter

It is the year 2000. Comedian and actor Chris Rock is nearing the height of his powers. Sony's stable of video games, on the other hand, was not. Sure, the PlayStation had been a breakthrough, but the world-devouring juggernaut that was the PlayStation 2 was in its infancy.

Ew. May as well have renamed the game Jak and Donkey because that's all I'd be thinking

-Alpha4858d ago

Oh wait that's Eddie Murphy..lol

LoaMcLoa4858d ago

Hahaa xD Bet you thought he was Obama too, eh?

roadkillers4858d ago

Okay I make a joke about Kyle being a Jew in a South Park article and it gets taken down immediately for being offensive, yet it's fine to crack a couple Eddie Murphy and Obama jokes...

Now don't get me wrong I like these type of jokes... but we need clarification of crossing the line. Where the N4G handbook when you need it?

Seeing how he handles voice over work, glad he wasn't.

Underrated? J&D was one of the most popular IPs at the time, quite literally the face of the ps2 beside God of War

Outside_ofthe_Box365d ago

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.

purple101365d ago (Edited 365d ago )

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.

Outside_ofthe_Box364d ago

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.

XiNatsuDragnel364d ago

Jak and dexter is known franchise Sly Cooper was more hidden one tbh.

darthv72364d ago

...and he was trying to stay hidden because he was a thievius racoon.

Demetrius364d ago (Edited 364d ago )

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

gold_drake364d ago

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
