it's sad to see how sony treats its old series. PS3 is by far the most inaccessible PS console and it's so ridiculous they have done next to nothing to preserve it. Props to the fans that want to preserve masterpieces such as this game. For the longest time, PS3 was the definitive release of Jak, and I'm glad PC is replacing them.
Ähm well no ( the ps3 version beeing the definitive not the sony bs there you are right) the ps3 version had so many bugs was sometimes Verry inconsistent and also had random crashes everywhere but aside from the bugs it did feel much better. But you don't care about the good things when the game crashes during the end of the "retrieve Amulett from slums" mission .... but i can see your argument which means the whole comment is unnecessary. Thank you for loosing time :())
@@mehmetjj9163 The PS3 collection of Jak 1,2 and 3 are WAY BETTER than their PS Store versions for PS4 and PS5 which are emulated versions of the PS2 games. Don't get me wrong, PS Vita is by far the worst console to play the Jak games because of the horribly low framerate and bad controls, but PS4 and PS5 are not far behind due to the horrible framerate dips and limited directional inputs.
An awesome idea. I would love a group to do this for the Sly Cooper and Ratchet games. I know they are in different languages, but it would be an amazing thing to do.
I'm glad the fandom is healthy enough that this project can exist. I'm not counting on the series ever coming back in any official capacity, but things like this make that much easier to stomach. Edit: Also, I think someone will inevitably try to merge Jak 2 and 3 into one supergame with a mod. That'd be sick, but SUPER difficult.
Im about half way through Jak 2 on the beta release and its really something seeing whole levels with max LOD geometry and light/particle effects. Also the better texture filtering really shows how well the art style has held up after 20 years. The forest and deadtown particularly hold up so well. Pcsx2 and rpcs3 have had some visual bugs that arent in the openGOAL version (notable ones are when you are entering the port from the red district a big piece of the city wall isnt rendered and is just a void and the vent heat distortion effects looking like hexagons). Huge shout out to the openGOAL devs, so awesome what yall are doing!
I kind of hope with all the work done by this group, is Sony might contact them about doing an official Retail Release of these games for PC and PS5 (to replace the one that is on there) in doing a remaster/remake of the graphics in modern graphics today.
@@MuchWhittering Well No.1, finding an ISO on third party sites is always (or if your luckily and have your own copy) risky legally speaking to do this and plus this would be more ease of access to more players (plus releasing a remaster for modern consoles as well). Don't know what you mean by less mod support, of course the games if they were released on Steam could still have mod support! Yes they may change the code a bit, but that doesn't mean the games would have less ability to do modding. What makes you think they wouldn't have this? All of the mods we have now for this, they could be ported over to the retail version of the game.
They wouldn't have official mod support like this does. So yes, it would inherently have "less ability to do modding", because you'd be fighting an uphill battle to do it. There's a reason the most modded game of all time is one that has official support for it.@@Finger112
The one thing that I love the most form these ports is an actual 16x9 support. On ps2, the 16x9 support is only a cheap zoomed in version, which means that you lose a huge chunk of the screen. It makes it so the best way to play the game is to play on 4x3, but it's not that great on modern monitors. And even on the ps3 version, they still used that version instead of making a real 16x9. Just to be able to actually experienced a well polished version of the game with an actual good display for modern monitors is just so amazing and makes it the best version to experience these games nowadays in my opinion. It's such great work, it's truly amazing!
@@wojtulacehoe5089 I didn't know that actually! I've never used this, I alway assumed that it was just a "simple" ps2 emulator for pc. I guess that they added some kind of support for more functionalities for games? Well, no matter how it works, I now feel quite ignorant to have waited so long to have this game in a true 16x9 then.
@@wojtulacehoe5089 wrong, default patches and the native pcsx2 widescreen patches just force locks the 16:9 in-game option which has stretched UI elements. I believe cutscenes are indeed rendered correctly by the patch but issues with the 16:9 version still occur. i.e. the mini-map is an oval and not a circle, as well as Jak's health which exaggerates the low resolution and original artwork of the HUD.
I do hope the Sly Cooper and PS2 Ratchet and Clank games, even the ports of Size Matters and Secret Agent Clank, get ports like this some day. The Sly games especially since while people may have joked about the floating oversized helmet in Going Commando and Up Your Arsenal or a certain camera angle during a cutscene in Deadlocked/Gladiator, I recall the HD versions of the Sly games having more bugs and errors like wrong music, missing audio, and missing features from the PS2 versions. Don't leave it at the Platformers either though. Maybe we can get ports of the Twisted Metal games or various RPGs and/or action games like the Dark Cloud duology or Rogue Galaxy.
Naughty Dog’s greatest sin is abandoning Jak. While I appreciate and love Uncharted and TLOU in every facet, I just can’t believe in the age of remakes, reboots, and revivals of Ratchet and Clank, Spyro, Crash, and FF7, Jak hasn’t even been whispered about or rumored. Stuff like this is what can help give it hope and life, thanks for covering Cynical, glad to have you back!
Same, especially with online support, maybe even improved splitscreen? Would be great to be able to mix splitscreen and online, IIRC the PS2 version didn't let you do that.
seeing an old series that i love so much resurface like this is so nice. Sadly I can't play it currently. I need a PC shell that supports a disk drive installation.
I'm a firm believer that developers should grant their fanbases the tools they need to keep games or services running once the developers have stopped supporting them officially. Keeps players happy and gives future developers the chance to hone their skills.
@@nellielmadness9053the first one has been done and untouched for a while. Clean room source reverse engineering is very legal as long as assets aren't included. It's why you still need a ROM to extract the textures, models, and music etc.
Works great for me I had to replace the executable with one in a help thread in the Discord. It'll get pushed to the launcher in a patch soon if it hasn't already.
I'm so happy I saw this. I tried to play this game on PS2 emulator, but it was a nightmare to play. framerate was bad and graphical glitches everywhere.
I HAD TO QUICKLY CLICK OFF THE ORIGINAL VIDEO I WAS WATCHING DUE ME SEEING “thegamersjoint” drop A NEW VIDEO. Guys we have to appreciate cynical every time he drops a new video. Thank you for this video Jared love from Florida USA.
When will Jak 3 will also get the PC Port;; Also Big Shoutout to the team that they also support ultra-wide resolutions to make the games look fantastic
The fact that Sony neglects their older library is a damn shame. I would gladly pay for PC ports of games like Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank, and Sly!
Cynical is back and we get a Jak 2 PC Port?! Unreal week for Gaming and content creation, welcome back brother can't wait to see what you have in store going forward!
Before anyone tells me that Jak and Daxter series are exclusive to playstation and whatnot, I genuinely hope that these games come to the nintendo switch. I remember playing the Daxter stand alone spinoff game on my old PSP and I loved it, anyways if these games are getting pc ports maybe in the far future it would come to the switch.
Don't count on it. This isn't even an official port to PC by Sony or Naughty Dog. They don't even have a definitive way to play them on current Playstation consoles. It's a buggy laggy emulation of the ps2 version.
@@Jok3rSmilee I won't count on anything my opinions are merely wishes that may or may not come true. heck one them is Square Enix redeeming their decision of porting Kingdom Hearts via cloud, I wish they'd make native physical ports in the future or better yet a collector's edition for it or something
I´ve tried it and this is awesome :D they also programmed the LED of the ps4 Controller. So if you are followed by the crimson guard it smoothly changes from red to blue XD I LOVE IT
Hey brother, was just wondering if you’re going to do a Final Fantasy 16 play-through? Maybe you already played the game since it’s been some time since release, but thought I’d ask. Great to have you back!
It's amazing what a great of fans can do when it comes to reviving great classics such as Jak 2. While Sony on the other hand just decided to forget about these amazing classics and just focus on new games that will either hit or miss(mostly likely miss depending on what kind of game these developers are trying to give us)and they be to expensive nowadays, and some of these games just aren't worth the sixty to seventy dollars. As a matter of fact, I would love it if Sony hired these people so that they revive other classics such as the classic Ratchet & Clank games, Sly Cooper, and the God of War Games on PS2 and PSP.
OpenGOAL might possibly decomplie Jak X Combat Racing as well as I believe that was done in the same programming language as the Jak Trilogy. But they haven't confirmed if they will tackle this game yet.
Playing Jak 2 in proper 4k on my 65 inch screen is kinda amazing. If they add in high res texture mod, this thing will be perfect. If they do Jak X after part 3, this will be the perfect package.
Since the Jak and Daxter movie doesn't even have a release window, the fans might make Jak 4 before Sony itself xD. I would love ti see a timetraveling adventure with Gol and Maia as the main villains.
If they can do Jak 3 and the Daxter PSP game, I will be a very happy man. Jak X racing I'm not so concerned about, but it would be nice to have a cart racer on PC. Also, Naughty Dog used to be all about custom/optimised coding in the early days, they did the same for Crash Bandicoot. The story goes other developers thought Naughty Dog had access to a PlayStation development kit, thats how far they managed to push the PS1/PS2. It's really sad to see how far Naughty Dog has fallen since Gavin and Rubin left in that regard. They used to make some of the most optimised games for their platform in the industry, a quality long since lost with Uncharted and TLOU.
If they’re in beta then I can only recommend adding checkpoints through missions. The length of some missions, and you having to restart from the beginning, has made me drop replaying this game multiple times.
I know Jak 3 PC isnt out yet but what of we manage to finally have an online mode for Jak X on PC in the future? The popularity of this series would spike up if this team can pull it off!
Speaking of ol' ND's difficult coding... Now, you have fans who are self-taught at this point, more or less like the original ND creators were. Why not have them make a new Jak game - a game by the fans, for the fans, so to speak Maybe ask the OG creators to have advisor input here and there, just to get the spirit of Jak right Have the OG voice cast return as much as possible Money, service to the fans, PR and overall good fortune for all Naughty Dog, it's time to Jak things UP! Edit: It's weird to me why ND hasn't released a PC port/Remaster themselves yet... Or even better, a Ratchet & Clank makeover
One reason why they wont make a jak game, its called copyright. OpenGOAL does things very specifically to not infringe on copyright, so no they wouldnt get the OG cast, no money involved, etc.
I need someone to help me, when I launch Jak II on opengoal, the lights show through all the walls, like every single light/glow source. is there a fix that is not just turning off all glow sprites?
The port relies on the user ripping their own PS2 copy of the game to get it to work, none of the original game's assets or code are included in the OpenGOAL software.
Jak II is now playable on the PC, but I say "playable" very liberally because it's still impossible to complete the sewer escort mission on any platform.
Answer from their website's FAQ: "As of now, it's unsure whether Jak X will be decompiled." I'm really hoping that Jak X is decompiled because that means online multiplayer might be possible
Awesome video! Imagine if Sony could hire the developers of Open Goal and allow them to make a Native PS5 version. Also how great would it be to have a native ps Vita version

It's weird to me why ND hasn't released a PC port/Remaster themselves yet...
Or even better, a Ratchet & Clank makeover
Ratchet is owned by Insomniac, so that might be a reason why ND hasn't touched it.
One reason why they wont make a jak game, its called copyright. OpenGOAL does things very specifically to not infringe on copyright, so no they wouldnt get the OG cast, no money involved, etc.
I hope fans can make more of these since Sony doesn't care about old ratchet games and especially sly
Let’s gooooooooooo! Now we need some prince of Persia and god of war pc ports
I need someone to help me, when I launch Jak II on opengoal, the lights show through all the walls, like every single light/glow source. is there a fix that is not just turning off all glow sprites?
Then Sony DMCA's the project into oblivion
They haven't with one yet so there's hope
@@cdmanjak I wish for them to succeed but also not succeed too much that it draws too much attention
The port relies on the user ripping their own PS2 copy of the game to get it to work, none of the original game's assets or code are included in the OpenGOAL software.
Jak II is now playable on the PC, but I say "playable" very liberally because it's still impossible to complete the sewer escort mission on any platform.
I did it first try on OpenGOAL.
It’s possible just frustrating due to 0 checkpoints
@@Jak2bossbf3 I know.
l2p
You can actually skip everything lol I do every run
WELL SLAP ME WITH A TURKEY SANDWICH HES BACK
Are they considering of ever putting the Ratchet and clank games on the Opengoal?
Have they said if they're going to do Jak X as well? I loved that game as a kid.
Answer from their website's FAQ: "As of now, it's unsure whether Jak X will be decompiled."
I'm really hoping that Jak X is decompiled because that means online multiplayer might be possible
More jak and daxter content
I thought that Daxtel was a weasel(since Ottsel is a mashup of otter and weasel). Not a cat. I know what a cat looks like. ^_^
also where do we get mods from? i've tried googling it and i haven't got far
Imo Naughty Dog should buy this port from the devs and run it in the background and put their engine over it to update the visuals
How'd you feel if Adi Shankar got the rights to do a Jak and Daxter Netflix series?
YES! DOWN WITH PLAYSTATION! *MANIACAL LAUGH*
Now all people have to do is mod in the wasteland and weapons from Jak 3
Can anybody tell me if 2 can be played all the way and the extra features
Needs a mod to make it so Dark Jak charges faster - by far the biggest gameplay issue with Jak 2.
Wow that’s cool
What’s up fellow turkey lords 🥰
Awesome video! Imagine if Sony could hire the developers of Open Goal and allow them to make a Native PS5 version. Also how great would it be to have a native ps Vita version
what do i put for the file name after clicking 'install via ISO'? Mine wont let me proceed
Do you have the ISO?
