"Jak II Renegade: Reborn" Pumping Station Preview
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 พ.ย. 2024
- This is a showcase, not a game demo. I originally put "Pre-Alpha" and "Coming Soon" in the video as a gag to try and make the video look like a real production, not at all intending for the video to be popular or even go viral as it did -- I'm a level designer, not an entire game artist (Although I wish I was!)
This creation almost entirely uses default assets and materials that come with CryEngine; save for some 3d Models that I created myself using the in-engine modeller, and some materials I created using photoshop.
It took just over five days (96+ hours) total time to put this together.
My process was that I looked around on google images for a map of the pumping station, imported it into Cryengine, used it as a texture on a giant rectangular plane, and scaled that plane up and down based on the default Cryengine view-model until I got it to what I BELIEVE to be 1x1 scale, but it's definitely off in some parts. From there, I set up a tv next to my PC and loaded up Jak II on the PS3 collection. I spent a long time looking at each individual wall and ledge to get an idea of the vertical scale. Then, I used the in-editor modelling tool to very quickly hash out the overall structure of the map based on my analysis, and when I was satisfied, began replacing the cubes I'd used with the 3d assets you see in the video.
All the steel structures -- pipes, city wall, platforms and windmills (And Precursor Orbs) -- were made by me using the 3d modeller within CryEngine. All the rocks, trees, leaves, and most of the textures including the ocean water, are default assets.

Jak series was such a good game, hope they make a new one.
xGarbett They need to make a new Jak and Daxter game with these graphics. I just want the developers to take over the franchuse.
I literally have tears in my eyes right now. I spent so many hours in that world, finished every Jak game a few times each and I'm still waiting for ND to continue this amazing series. And this is so awesome, this is how those HD remasters should have been done. I'd love to be able to play it! ND should hire you, no kidding. Hope you'll finish this project, I'll keep my fingers crossed!
Yeah!
This is how jak 4 should be.
Meh it's ok but it is prob PC exclusive
Tom Wylie This is soooooooooo twisty fresh. You're only saying meh cause you never played the game. from ps2 to this is freaking incredible.
maybe ur right I never really heard of jak until u told me about it so I don't get the nostalgia behind it. To be honest all the games I enjoyed as a kid r either still relevant or they r just starting to come back.
Tom Wylie oooooh, you used swear words... i am so offended......NOT. also, for being a work in progress, it is freaking amazing. i would totally download the final product.
Gaming Sans Frontier I'm not trying to use swear words to scare u why r u being such an ass lately I can say it looks like crap if I want but it doesn't it does look really cool and for an alpha the lighting is really well done but again what do u care of my opinion
I'm gonna go cry myself to sleep.
that wasn't a pun.
You think you're the only one :(
Bo Burnham ? o.O xD
Guys, this on PS4 is never going to happen unless the license holders develop/produce it. There's no way I could put something relating to a different franchise on there. Also I know absolutely squat about PS4 coding architecture.
Floordan you need to go work for ND to this done looks cool.
Floordan Amazing work!! I want a new J&D with this awesome graphic!
+Floordan I like what you are doing here man. I am also working on remaking the story of Jak II. It will be M rated to reattract the now grown fans who like me were only 8 when the old Jak II came out.
True Pride yea cuz there was none of that.
True Pride the dark nature of Jak II seems too unrealistic without f-bombs, blood, and taboo
Extremely well done.
This is just mad wicked! I'm pretty sure Jak and Daxter's models will look like they do in the Hi-Resolution pictures if not better!
Years later and this still holds up nice job
With opengoal being released, no better time for the creator to pick this up again
I know this map better than my own backyard! Amazing remake.
THIS, I would buy a PS4 for. Without question.
It's for PC though
um, no..... the concept is, but the license will never be. EVER
Mike Scarborough Actually. I'm making it for pc. And there's no way I can port it to PS4. So it's PC only.
Floordan where can I download this for PC? The one thing my gaming pc can't play due to it being exclusive , Jak I never use Ps3 after I got ps4 so I don't play the ps2 collections often.
Hey Rob, at the moment it's not finished and still needs a lot of optimizing, so it's not up for download yet. Progress has been painfully slow lately. But don't worry, I'll be letting everyone know when this is available for download.
Just remake the trilogy to look like this! We would have a cartoony version and realistic version best of both worlds. This looks amazing in
+Jak2bossbf3 i reckon the game would look better if they used the same graphics that were used in the pre rendered trailers for Jak 3
Why everyone is complaining that this remake doesn't look cartoonish enough? We're getting a FAN-MADE hd remake of JakII, enjoy it for fuck's sake. I agree that the style of this video does not reflect the old game but damn, just get what you're given, it's not like the dev owes you anything, you're lucky you're getting anything at all.
That looks amazing man! Well done! I hope we get to play this someday. All the Jak games should be remade like this!
i would pay every price to play jak and daxter like this!!! there have to be a way to show this naughty dog. everybody support this guy!!!!
You found the perfect song for this, too. It really seems like it would fit with the rest of Jak II's soundtrack.
Absolutely gorgeous. Imagine if Jak 2 looked like this, thatd be a remastered I’d play.
I still hold onto hope that Jak 4: Dark Jak Rising will come out. Maybe, just maybe…
Im a designer i need a team to remake this whole franchise this game was my childhood n its mad how they remastered ratchet n clank and crash but not these
I hope that you're experiencing as much enjoyment through making this as we are through watching this! It's glorious!
I keep coming back to this video because for my love of Jak & Dax. And because this recreation is Gorgeous with a capital G.
💯 out of 💯
Hi, do you know if he ever finished it?
Hey Brendan. I am not sure if he ever finished it. And he never said why he stopped. But I want to say YES. I think he did finish it, because someone who is that dedicated to Jak ll would definitely finish a project like that eventually. Personally if I were him, I would've finished it 100%. ALSO, have you seen his other pumping Station video? th-cam.com/video/tPBno94AnaE/w-d-xo.html

Oh my god, this is beautiful! I love this so much! I can't wait to see how far you take this!
This probably won't come out but if it does. I will be so excited.
It's nice to see people still caring enough to put the effort into projects like this. Can't wait to see the final product!
As a fan of Jak and Daxter I need to say that this is AMAZING!
All you need is Metal Heads, Metal Kor flying in the distance, and amphibious creatures occasionally coming to the surface on the small beach spots and you're golden.
Just amazing, beautiful pumping Station! Make it happen!
The cryengine is a masterpiece to make these games on, I'm a Ratchet fan and this is the kind of engine and graphics that'd be used for those games if they were bein' made on newer consoles, it would have these almost realistic landscapes but stylised character models, the water looks really damn good and photo-realistic like the water in the Ratchet reboot, except that game failed with everythin' else.
Jak 2 is my favorite game of all time, to see the environments redone like this is insane! Good luck on the project.
Damn everything is like spot on. even the thing you have to jump on that turns is SPOT ON. like the way the animation works how it stutters abit at the startup everything..
Gawd damn, I want this be the remastered version of Jak 2, let alone the entire trilogy! Will be a lot of work but, I want to see happen one day.
This is phenomenal, I watched this with my jaw on the floor. This is fantastic work that brought a flood of nostalgia
This is amazing, this is looking so great man!
It changes the whole feel of the game!
This looks mighty impressive. Instant fan of the graphics right away!
I'm crying tears of happiness,this brings so many memories
I was just about to create the zoomer in C4D and was looking for an picture at google and than I found this, as an fan this is so sick.
Advantures Of Kamii
So sick I took it to the doctor
Looks beyond incredible, glad to see one of my all time favorite games getting some love. Hope you continue on.
Wow this is awsome. The world needs someone like you to show people how great jak and daxter can be. Keep it up mate
The Jak and Daxter series is a one of a kind - they will always be my favourite games, and this concept is amazing. I would absolutely love to see this done with sandover village and sentinel beach. Also, you're such a great artist, maybe naughty dog can use your amazing skills for jak 4? (if/when that ever happens haha).
I had a dream about this last night except all of Haven City was graphically updated. Best dream ever!
Naughty Dog said it couldn't be done but look with this awesome guy did just proves how lazy they are with old series
+B Bear I really appreciate the comment, but I think there's a lot more to it than that. A lot of it comes from market relevance and supply and demand. There sure are die-hard fans like us out there, but the fact of the matter is the gaming industry is heavily leaning on first person shooters and gritty, pseudo-realistic narrative pieces as that's what's immensely popular at this time. 3D platformers like Jak and Ratchet and Clank have been out of fashion for quite a long time so economically speaking it is extremely risky to put the funds into production of a genre that's almost entirely dead. The only games that are even close to this genre in modern games is Rise of the Tomb Raider and its predecessor, and the Uncharted series, but they're mostly successful based on its realistic style and Indiana-Jones-like adventure, they occupy a fine spacing of platform action and third-person-shooting. It's not advantageous for a development team to produce a sequel Jak game that would potentially sell 750,000 copies based on fans and the respect for the development team if they were lucky, when they could instead produce a sequel to The Last of Us which has now sold over 6 million copies.
That, and a lot of the team that worked on the Jak series don't even work for Naughty Dog anymore.
+B Bear He's correct. During that period, 3D platformers were relevant and the top of the demand hierarchy. Nowadays, they just aren't the kings of the pile anymore. In an industry dominated by RPGs, MMOs and first-person shooters, its really hard to make successful 3D platformers.
+Floordan it's not even just that, Naughty Dog did attempt to make a 4th jak game but the devs were struggling with writing a decent story as well as coming up with decent designs that match the feel of the original series whilst also improving on the original design, in other words they added too much sugar into the mix and it spoilt the taste (for lack of a better analogy), i also heard that the devs felt like they were making the game for all the wrong reasons; they didn't want the next jak game to just be a quick cash in, so in a way it's probably a good thing that they went back to the drawing board, and while i like the idea of a Jak game looking as gorgeous as it does in your video the character designs would feel off if they tried to match the style of the landscape.
also @B Bear if there's one thing Naughty Dog isn't it's lazy, they're one of the only game devs who always try to make a perfect balance when it gets to game content, i've never played a Naughty Dog game where the graphics or story felt better than the gameplay, in fact compared to a lot of PS3 games their games are pretty damn stable, the only serious bugs i've seen in their games have always been texture related and could usually be fixed by reloading the game, but those bugs are pretty rare and usually showed up more on the PS1 or PS2. plus, like i stated above they haven't been lazy with the Jak games, it's just hard to make a perfect sequel when 2 of the main guys that helped create the games have retired and the devs are struggling to get around their writers block. and like Floordan said, there's been more demand for Uncharted games than Jak games which means ND has had to focus more on the Uncharted games.
But when they made original Jak & Daxter games the technology was very limited compared to what we see today. They couldn't make HD or 3D or anything on ps2
Ben Knight I most certainly agree I wrong this post ignorantly and angry at naught dog but I completely understand but lately they've been leaking more jak4 stuff but I won't get my hopes up I'll just take a look and smile!
Man, I would kill for this kind of recreation of Ratchet & Clank 2 and 3.
Holy smokies; that's some intense stuff. Really diggin' it!
Wow, amazing!! Thanks for sending me here Justin.
this is fuckking amazing work, but I think what a lot of people are forgetting is that the Jak games were stylized. Not just because of the graphical limitations at the time for a (relatively) big game, but just-- artistic decisions. So while this remake is beautiful, if Naughty Dog remade the Jak games, they'd take the same approach as the Spyro remake: ground-up new art and everything, to maintain the stylistic integrity of the game.
imo, a photorealistic Cryengine remake of Jak games isn't exactly the way to go.
To the creator: amazing work, man.
this is beautiful, This is definitely a good thing to be done, i cant wait to play it!
Lol recreating Jak 2 in Cryengine? Looks amazing.
I wholeheartedly support this. Hell I'd be happy if you just let me walk around this level.
A trilogy remake has potential with graphics like this man
Damn Jak II remake with these graphics would be so AWESOME!!!!!
Are you going to remake the whole game or just this level?
Now this would be a HD remake. I hope it's real. Cause this would be EPIC.
I don't think it takes away from the feeling of a jak and Daxter game, very awesome
Faith in humanity = Totally freakin' restored
Mate, this is amazing and unbelievable that you did this all alone! We need people like you working in naughtydog! They should have made this into a new jak game instead of shitty last of us!
I would also love to see a remake of haven forest!
Keep doing what your doing bro, this is awesome!!
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY PRECURSOR ORBS!!!
Definetly a very food work
Im very impressed can't wait too ser the final product
OMG YES!!! THANK YOU FOR BRINGIN MY CHILDHOOD BACK MAN :DDDD LOVE YOU!!!
That brought tears to my eyes, at the end I had to lift my jaw up from the floor and get a box of tissues
Holy shit, this locks amazing, Naugthy Dog should hire this guy to do Jak 4
Oh man, you're my new god! Excellent work!
Man I wish ND would redo Jak & Daxter. This looks incredible but I battle to imagine how J&D would look with this realistic styling. I hope ND sits up and notices this and all the passionate comments, maybe they give you a job ;)
this guy is doing what naughty dog can't
this looks unbelieveably good. omg
What the fuck? WHAT YESSSS.
One of my favorite childhood games! You have my full backing. Gonna share the shit outa this.
this made me cry when i first saw it
This is amazing! I have such fond memories of playing The precursor legacy. Renegade was disappointing to me (too big of a gameplay change) but I'd love to see more of this more realistic style! It's beautifully made.
WHEN IS THIS COMING OUT I WANT TO BUY THIS!!!!!!!!!!
That pov segment made me want a vr port of Jak II so bad
Make this entire game from scratch and I will pay 500 dollars for it!
As a devoted Jak and Daxter fan, the series made up a large part of my childhood, and there are few memories that I can recall from being young that don't include a Jak game running in the background. I always wished as a kid that I could go see a place from Jak in real life, and when they stopped making the games it was a shitty feeling. I stumbled upon this and wanted to say thank you, you're amazing at what you do and made that dream of going to a Jak place partly real. Any plans to ever do, for example, Sandover Village from Jak and Daxter TPL? I think that would be a really popular video too! Keep it up, you rock!
I've loved this series since I was a kid. Seeing it restored and improved like this brings a tear to my eye. This is amazing, if you can do the village from Precursor Legacy, or Haven city from Jak 3 (the water front with the naughty Ostel) I would love it.
Holy shit this looks amazing! I would love to play this game.
Oh my fucking god, this is so beautiful.
I am actually going to cry.
this almost made me cry
The most beautiful thing ive ever seen
Who the HELL disliked this video!? How the HELL could you dislike this video!?
I would love to replay jak 2 with this graphics, it would be amazing.
Damn, I hope this guy actually does it because I'll drop any game I was thinking about getting and go buy this instead.
I loved Jak II and this looks insane!
THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY
Nighttime is POG
In my opinion I think it'll look really good with these realistic graphics I mean it might be a change but who knows this will succeed
This could definitely be made on PS5
Now I want to say thank you jak 2 holds so meat memorys for me and with this being a HD remake thank you know there was a first preson POV in this don't tell me it will be
Oh my gosh. Thank you so much Floordan for making this next generation Pumping Station! It loos absolutely beautiful! :,) You're an artist! I wish you can help make Jak 4.
By the way, are you a programmer or software engineer? Because am studying engineering, and I am really interested in software and technology.
musicmaniack256 I wouldn't say I'm a programmer or a software engineer. I'm just an artist with a passion for the franchise, I don't really specialize in any field.
Floordan Ok, but that's still cool. :) And you're not JUST an artist; you've created some amazing digital art, and you've helped revived my, and everyone else's, childhood. :
)
musicmaniack256 All due respect, that's what an artist does. :)
Yeah, I know. Thanks. Just putting his actions to words. :)
Jak 2 was great. Heck, they all were. But if i had to pick one to look this good, id love it to be the precursor legacy! Non the less this is GREAT, hope this actually becomes a release one day.
Would absolutely love to see this stylized a little bit moreso, rather than stock rendering, etc.
HOLY! I'm so impressed, I can't even.... Naughty Dog MUST REMAKE ALL FIVE GAMES! Talking about DAXTER on PSP and Jak X and ofc the trilogy in a definitive Collection on PS4. Would probably look like this if not even better since it's only PRE-ALPHA. Like the page if you are a hugelly devoted loyal Jak fan!
Naughty Dog should be inspired to make Jak 4 after seeing this. Great job if I was a developer I would hire you any day.
This is fucking sick, I must see more/play this now!!!
Holy fuck that looks beautiful. I would buy a PS4 just for this.
This looks amazing, looking forward to see more videos of these :D
holy crap does this look amazing :O
This is truely amazing. Awesome job. Naughty dog need to hire you for a jak n dexter sequel.
One of my favorite games ever. Love the whole series overall. I would actually think about buying a ps4 if jak 4 was coming.
I would give or do anything to have the games look like this.
Your a good person man respect you. You made a good thing in your life
This is how HD remakes should be. Maybe not that good looking but something like that.
Awesome! Can't wait to get my hands on it!
