@@enriquecasiano9558 Lost frontier doesn't count as the 4th game and Naughty Dog does not recognize it as part of the series. So no, we still have not yet gotten a real 4th game.
I really wish they'd bring back/revive the Jak and Daxter series. The first game is a personal favourite among the original trilogy. I still love it so much to this day. The second are third games were also good. I even remember playing the spin-off game Daxter on my PSP back in the day. Even if the first 3 games got a remake, I'd still be content with that over nothing at all. Although a brand new J&D game after all this time being dormant would be more preferable/desirable.
"What happened?" Right out the top of my head: "The developers couldn't stop milking out Uncharted & The Last Of Us. The same way Prince of Persia has to watch Ubisoft milk the hell out of Assassin's Creed".
Yeah, the house of Mar, the Dark Makers, the origins of the Precursors, Daxter's Precursor biology, Grue's daughter being the new crime boss, origin of the Metalskulls, the fate of Gol & Maya, the difference between white/light eco & dark eco and their full potential... just SOOO many plotpoints to go along with and make games about.
@@ekoreko9795 you are not counting all the remasters of Uncharted and TLOU + the remake. You can't really compare Jak and Daxter, which is clearly a dead and hated franchise by Sony, with IPs that even got a fricking TV adaptation ffs Also, are you really comparing Uncharted 4 with Jak X and TLF? Are you serious man?
@@ekoreko9795bad take. They are milking the uncharted and tlou titles and rereleases for wayyyyyy more money than Jak titles throughout the studios existence even if canonically there are less entires in those series.
I don't think the current Naughty Dog could even make a Jak 4. Quite a few of the original creators have left the company and the studio has gone off in a different direction. It's a shame, though, because the series has great lore.
They also made lost frontier in 09 (when the ps2/psp was dead) which insured its failure. They JUST made it available on the PSN store for ps4/5 in march so maybe some hope?
My first console was a ps2 that me and my brothers got for Christmas and the first game we had was Jak and Daxter i will always be a fan. I loved how when we got older and matured so did the series i couldnt believe the sheer contrast between playing the percursor legacy then playing Jak 2. I will never give up on my hopes of a Jak 4.
I hope one day Naughty Dog and Sony can enlist the trust of a studio to remake the Jak and Daxter trilogy since I personally have never played them. Also, I hope this 'What Happened to...' series continues cause it's very intriguing to watch. I would LOVE to see a video in this series on the InFAMOUS, Sly Cooper and Resistance franchises.
As long they stay woke I doubt see anything good from naughty dog or even PlayStation well for Western side as Japanese say western don't get it like they do I agree with them one of there game the westerners said was impossible have body like that when they prove female is girl is a model
Jak and Daxter played a major part of my teen years of gaming. I remember when I won Jak 2 in a Toonami sweepstakes. I was so amped! Love the series and played all the way to Combat Racing. It would be cool for Jak & Daxter to make a comeback. If Ratchet & Clank can do it, Jak & Daxter can do it too.
Jak and Daxter was an instant classic once i played it, from different adventures to Jak and Daxter's lovable dynamic, I don't know why they just left it when this franchise still has a lot to offer with either Jak 4 or another Daxter solo game.
Damn I miss this series. The only thing I regret is not being able to unlock the Dexter car in Jak X. But the fact that existed was awesome and I wish they’d bring them back with some kind of reward for playing the last ones. This is a series that I 100% all of them(with the exception of the Dexter car)
My uncle worked at naughtiness dog and he said that the reasoning for their hiatus is out of respect for the Late Joe Biden, we lickly won’t see their return for snarnia
I hope they never do it. I dont want these three incredible games to be stained by some horseshit. TLF is not cannon in the eyes of all so its ok but everyone pretends it never existed.
@necroplastful I can see your point of view and somewhat agree. But I still feel like a simple remaster with no additional features would be amazing. I mean, soul reavers getting one and everyone's pumped. For good reason. The "Horse shit" of today is why we remaster the past.
@@valthe1stgaming634there's already a remaster with the Jak and Daxter Collection, a remake of the trilogy with Ratchet and clank: Rift apart graphics would be perfect, and thats something that another game studio could do, i do hope they revisit the saga, there were a lot of plot points that were left unexplored that would be good for continuing the story
I got a ps2 for Christmas one year, and Jak 3. (Yes, I started in the third game in a trilogy). Ended up loving it, and bought Jak and Daxter: The Precursor legacy, and Jak II. I SOOO miss playing them.
I missed out on the original series back then because I was primarily a GameCube player and not a PS2 player. I think a Jak & Daxter remake trilogy can work in the 9th-generation since there’s room for both linear action-platforming games AND non-linear, stylized action-platforming games.
when I was a little kid, I would play though these games so many times over.. after a while I would just start walking around the battle zones in Jak 3, protecting citizens and RPing that I was apart of the battle, RPing long before I ever even knew that was. I will never forgot how warm those moments made me on the inside.. and it makes me so sad that this series has gotten 0 love for so many years from its creators.
Jake and Daxter 1 was just an amazing game still now just as much as it was back then. I can't tell you how many times I would replay the all 3 games a long with Rachet and Clank. The early 2000's games hit differently back when everything was coming out and changing up. Every time I replay jak 2 (even more so if I played 1 before firing up 2) it triggers the same feeling/memories of when I fired up jak 2 for the first time. Such a great twist imo There needs to be a jak and daxter collection for pc
Do a similar video on Sly Cooper please. It hasn’t suffered as hard as Jak and Daxter but it’s in a very similar situation. I love both series for different reasons too.
I miss Jak & Daxter, and Sly Cooper sooo much! We need them back! Ghost of Tsushima is too confusing for me to enjoy, and I'm sick of all these realistic IPs of Uncharted and The Last of Us. The Last of Us, especially!
The Daxter game on psp with only Daxter as a playable character is burned into my mind as one of my favorite games from childhood I wish they would bring these characters back
Super fan of the first game, one of my faves growing up. They lost me at the second sheerly from the tonal shift, and when i did get around to playing it, it was insanely difficult. Interesting to hear though that they were greatly affected by GTA, makes so much sense now. Great video!!!
Jak and daxter are such great games. Would love to see a jak 4 or even. Remake of the original game. Jak and sly cooper where my childhood and will forever be my childhood!
As the youngest of two brothers this was always my game/series that no one else played. Great memories. The 2nd game will always hold a special place in my heart.
I remember first playing Jak and Daxter at my neighbours house when i was about 5 or 6 and i was in love with it immediately, didn't get my hands on it for myself until a year or so later. 100% it, which was satisfying as hell. Then the best of the series in Jak II, in my top 3 games of all time, great challenge at times with a great story, Jak 3 was okay but a little too easy following Jak II but that's understandable. Then the PS3 remasters which i couldn't wait to play, such good times. Gaming was fantastic back then
Jak and Daxter was the first video game i've ever played, and for years I didn't have a memory card so I would always replay it. Later on I would leave my ps2 on for days at a time till I got back to my dads to finish the game. This games movement also just feels so much better than most modern games a remake would be amazing.
I did the same thing with crash bandicoot at boss that was too hard and i had to go to school😂 actually buying the memorycard would have been cheaper then the energy bill😂😂
I think naughty dog should just put together a small young team to remake the game. They can develop their skills and the company would have a pool of up-and-coming developers to choose from to add to the main team when the time araises
I played these as a kid and loved them. Precursor, II, 3 and X. Now you mention it II was pretty tough and I died a fair bit haha. Didn't realise how popular they are.
I would not mind a Jak and Daxter movie, but that is what the 1st three games already accomplished with the no load screens. Similar to Abe's Odyssey with the cutscenes (Also, I am aware there were load times. I am just talking about the movie like cutscenes), especially with Strangers Wrath. 🎥🎮
I was obsessed with the first Jak and Daxter. The only thing I remember from Jak and Daxter 2 was it was sooo hard that I never completed the game. Especially riding that hovercar within the time constraints.
I remember as a kid mom took us grocery shopping we wanted to stay home alone cause we hated going grocery shopping. But luckily we went and mom surprised us by letting us pick out a game that night. We didn’t know or ever heard of this game but me and big bro both agreed on it. We spent many hours that winter taking turns enjoying and laughing
Jak and Daxter is top three series I'd want to see rebooted. Jak 3 was the first game I helped my older brother beat a game instead of the other way around
I was 7 years old when Jak 2 came out and I hadn’t really had a challenging gaming experience at that point. Jak 2 was my defining moment of realizing that games were something I was willing to pour tons of effort into to beat
Naughty dogs doesn't care, all they care about is uncharted and the last of us, that's why ratchet and clank still holds up today. Naughty dogs has made it up in their minds they will never ever bring this franchise back! End of sentence!
I frikken loved this game! It was my favourite ps2 of all time. The world was beautiful, the guns and cars were so fun and I loved the characters and story. My best bud and I use to play Jack and Dexter 3 whenever I’d go visit him. A lot of good memories made and it was a truly fantastic game! Good times👌👌👌
precursor legacy was one of the first games i played on console. the colorful world and music and characters were awesome. the game itself really isn't long but it still feels like a big adventure. if they aver brought it back either continuing the IP or remastering it i'd buy it in a heartbeat
I remember as a little kid playing Jak 2 thinking wow this is a huge upgrade, I'm glad they made it more gritty, I had no idea it was modeled after gta 3 in a way, and multiple videos have confirmed this,
Jak and dexter was easily my favorite game as kid I honestly think a more nostalgic cartoony based action adventure game would do great today... Give me a FFX 7, 8 9 and 10 and Jake and dexter again
They can bring it back if they want to. The key is to not change the character design too much and to have a reasonable explanation for why the series continues. For example, he finds a way back but realizes that there's a new evil that wants to destroy not only the old Jack from the beginning but also the current one as he is the reason for his plans ruining each reality he finds himself in. It would fit the theme of opening rift gates up and bouncing around realities.
In my opinion, if they went a Tropico like route in a game where you could play as the Krimson Guard and or Freedom League and build up a city and protect it from threats, I would totally play that ngl just give people more direct control over the military units than Tropico would normally allow like even let you control them in an optional first person/third person way would be incredible! 💜
Honestly i think a soft reboot or new story direction after jak 3 would work in the same setting. Introduce light rpg mechanics for platforming/eco based skills and gun/vehicle development through crafting, materials, money, XP etc. in line with the core mechanics from the original trilogy. Maybe something similar to what gears did with the locust into the swarm could be done with the metal heads for a new enemy archetype.
Loved playing those games as a kid. While the tone definitely got more serious I thought it was awesome. Really hope the series gets a remake! Getting Crash & Spyro was a welcome surprise and I think there’s still plenty of us who would welcome it!
Sony's negligence and Naughty Dog's priorities over Uncharted 2, because they were working on Jak And Daxter The Lost Frontier at the same time as Uncharted 2 the most logical move would have been was to finish one game first then the other,but no they worked on Lost Frontier half way and passed it to another studio to finished what they started and the end result not many people liked Lost Frontier
Sony Interactive Entertainment gives their studios complete creative freedom how is that "negligence" Naughty Dog prioritizing Uncharted 2 Among Thieves is not "negligence" when they realized they could not juggle two projects at once so it was better to pass the smaller scale one after cancelling it to another studio that would revive it to fully focus on what they wanted That's not how video game development works nor the idea behind contracting said studio to be able to focus entirely on a new project Guess what if Naughty Dog tried to juggle both at once neither would have released
@@bamban_garcia5562 they could delayed Lost Frontier and worked on Uncharted,also another example of Sony's neglecting their IPs Sly Cooper that was meant to have a episode of Sly escaping Ancient Egypt and they said no
@@sir.jinzu9426 Sucker Punch confirmed during a q&a event after they were done with Ghost Of Tsushima that they can revive Sly Cooper whenever they want they just choose to focus on new projects Even their studio profile outlines they are an all hands on deck a single project at a time company Studios move on from past projects to create new experiences nothing wrong with that Hell the Sly Trilogy was not remastered until Sucker Punch gave their blessing towards Sanzaru Games
@@sir.jinzu9426The studios don't want to work on the games you want back, easy as that. Sony is not forcing them to anything other than the live service stuff, and that initiative has now been canceled and Sony changed their strategy.
This is definitely one of the games that needs to return with Jak and Daxter with new storyline, new gameplay, graphics, there’s a lot, this is one of the legendary games that needs to come back
I played jak and daxter by complete accident one day and it became one of my favorite gaming series. I keep out hope they maybe one day we’ll get a sequel. ❤
The ps2 was no longer the most sold console by a year before you uploaded this video. You spoke in current, only a tiny tweak needed for it to be past tense
I remember playing the Jak games as kid. I barely remember the first Jak and Daxter game but I absolutely loved Jak II. The change in the tone in gameplay was memorable but my 11 year old self thought it was the coolest thing ever. Jak 3 was even better and I have fond memories of that game as well. I remember back then I didn't hear about anyone who didn't like the tone shift from the first to Jak II. In my opinion, it was the right move.
Loved all three games but I'll always wonder how the stories and gameplay of sequels could've been if they kept the story in the original game's world.
I remember going to a friend’s house as a child and playing jak the first time. I thought it was amazing, the vehicle movement REALLY stood out to me for some reason at the time.
Wasn’t much into the early games, but the 3rd? Loved it. Great replaying opportunities, plus just finding cool fights to get in around the city once you had all the weapon upgrades. And stealing countless hover cars and getting in dogfights with police
Jak 2 is one of my favorite games of all time. Very frustrating but still love the game. PS2 with Jak Ratchet and Sly Cooper was a great time. Maybe one day we will get more.
I missed PlayStation franchises that aren't on the PS5 yet. I would lose my breath if Killzone, Sly Cooper, Resistance or Jax and Daxter rebooted or made a comeback to the PlayStation 5.
There's so much that they can explore that doesn't require playing as Jak or Daxter. I say to leave their story as it is and explore other avenues in the world.
This trilogy deserves a proper remaster. Crash got one, Spyro. Plenty of games deserve that treatment. Twisted Metal, Sly Cooper, Ratchet and Clank. An actual remake would be incredible. Id prefer that then a sequel. The people who made the originals special arent there anymore. Instead id like a proper way to play it. The ports on ps4/ps5 run like garbage and the HD collection is literally locked to the ps3. The series should not be left behind. Gex is coming back, for gods sake. Jak deserves to as well.
I miss Jak and Daxter so much. Sly Cooper and Jak and Daxter helped me for 10+ years of replaying.
Those 2 games were my whole childhood
The driving mechanics in Jak 3 were the best. Then they somehow came out with a Jak and Daxter racing game with the crappiest driving ever, lol.
Fully agree those two along with Ty the Tasmanian tiger and Crash!
U can play jak on open goal or just ps2 emulator 😅 i do that
Yes! Plus Spyro, Ty the Tasmanian Tiger, Crash Bandicoot. Back when gaming was all about making a great game and not micro transactions.

I played these as a kid and loved them. Precursor, II, 3 and X.
Now you mention it II was pretty tough and I died a fair bit haha.
Didn't realise how popular they are.
I would not mind a Jak and Daxter movie, but that is what the 1st three games already accomplished with the no load screens. Similar to Abe's Odyssey with the cutscenes (Also, I am aware there were load times. I am just talking about the movie like cutscenes), especially with Strangers Wrath. 🎥🎮
I think a game series being complete is actually a good thing. The creators finished their story and wanted to stop.
We should be happy about that....
the amount of nostalgia and sadness that comes over me watching these clips tells me that I need to play these again
Jak 2 is my fav game till this day 😶🌫️
I was obsessed with the first Jak and Daxter. The only thing I remember from Jak and Daxter 2 was it was sooo hard that I never completed the game. Especially riding that hovercar within the time constraints.
I remember as a kid mom took us grocery shopping we wanted to stay home alone cause we hated going grocery shopping. But luckily we went and mom surprised us by letting us pick out a game that night. We didn’t know or ever heard of this game but me and big bro both agreed on it. We spent many hours that winter taking turns enjoying and laughing
Jak and Daxter is top three series I'd want to see rebooted. Jak 3 was the first game I helped my older brother beat a game instead of the other way around
We got crash, we got spyro and jak and daxter were forgotten such a shame
So happy to see all of these fellow adults sharing the same love I’ve had for this game since I was a child. Never give up hope guys! JAK 4 ‼️
I was 7 years old when Jak 2 came out and I hadn’t really had a challenging gaming experience at that point. Jak 2 was my defining moment of realizing that games were something I was willing to pour tons of effort into to beat
Naughty dogs doesn't care, all they care about is uncharted and the last of us, that's why ratchet and clank still holds up today. Naughty dogs has made it up in their minds they will never ever bring this franchise back! End of sentence!
I frikken loved this game! It was my favourite ps2 of all time. The world was beautiful, the guns and cars were so fun and I loved the characters and story. My best bud and I use to play Jack and Dexter 3 whenever I’d go visit him. A lot of good memories made and it was a truly fantastic game! Good times👌👌👌
remember a time when naughty dog wasn't just a last of us studio?
precursor legacy was one of the first games i played on console. the colorful world and music and characters were awesome. the game itself really isn't long but it still feels like a big adventure. if they aver brought it back either continuing the IP or remastering it i'd buy it in a heartbeat
8:19 wow thats a surprise. I will admit there were some parts of the game that became difficult but not enough that i thought it would rank that high
Ikr! I literally mastered that game at the age of 7! There were hard parts but it was still beatable.
You can't spell ignorant without IGN
Jak and daxter were definitely in my top 3 favorite games growing up, loved all 3 games so much
I was obsessed with playing Jak 1 as a kid, and had the HD collection as a teen. I really wish sly and jak would come back.
I remember as a little kid playing Jak 2 thinking wow this is a huge upgrade, I'm glad they made it more gritty, I had no idea it was modeled after gta 3 in a way, and multiple videos have confirmed this,
i remember my big brother getting a ps2 for his birthday around 2002 with Jak and Daxter and Gran Turismo 3. still have those two and the ps2 👍
Jak and dexter was easily my favorite game as kid
I honestly think a more nostalgic cartoony based action adventure game would do great today...
Give me a FFX 7, 8 9 and 10 and Jake and dexter again
They can bring it back if they want to. The key is to not change the character design too much and to have a reasonable explanation for why the series continues. For example, he finds a way back but realizes that there's a new evil that wants to destroy not only the old Jack from the beginning but also the current one as he is the reason for his plans ruining each reality he finds himself in. It would fit the theme of opening rift gates up and bouncing around realities.
Jak & daxter is my favorite naughty dog IP and got me thru my childhood + JAK 2 is the best in the series
I really wish that Naughty Dog kept the Jak and Daxter series going, just like Insomniac did with Ratchet and Clank. Who knows? Give it time
In my opinion, if they went a Tropico like route in a game where you could play as the Krimson Guard and or Freedom League and build up a city and protect it from threats, I would totally play that ngl just give people more direct control over the military units than Tropico would normally allow like even let you control them in an optional first person/third person way would be incredible! 💜
Honestly i think a soft reboot or new story direction after jak 3 would work in the same setting. Introduce light rpg mechanics for platforming/eco based skills and gun/vehicle development through crafting, materials, money, XP etc. in line with the core mechanics from the original trilogy. Maybe something similar to what gears did with the locust into the swarm could be done with the metal heads for a new enemy archetype.
They could literally do what theyve done with crash, launch 4 and remake 1,2 and 3
Loved playing those games as a kid. While the tone definitely got more serious I thought it was awesome. Really hope the series gets a remake! Getting Crash & Spyro was a welcome surprise and I think there’s still plenty of us who would welcome it!
Another Mathew with 1 "T" ! . Thanks for the vid🙏
I loved this series and I didn't think they were too difficult when I was a child. I think a reboot would be amazing!
The "150 precursor orbs" voice was on point 😂
Sony's negligence and Naughty Dog's priorities over Uncharted 2, because they were working on Jak And Daxter The Lost Frontier at the same time as Uncharted 2 the most logical move would have been was to finish one game first then the other,but no they worked on Lost Frontier half way and passed it to another studio to finished what they started and the end result not many people liked Lost Frontier
Sony Interactive Entertainment gives their studios complete creative freedom how is that "negligence"
Naughty Dog prioritizing Uncharted 2 Among Thieves is not "negligence" when they realized they could not juggle two projects at once so it was better to pass the smaller scale one after cancelling it to another studio that would revive it to fully focus on what they wanted
That's not how video game development works nor the idea behind contracting said studio to be able to focus entirely on a new project
Guess what if Naughty Dog tried to juggle both at once neither would have released
@@bamban_garcia5562 they could delayed Lost Frontier and worked on Uncharted,also another example of Sony's neglecting their IPs Sly Cooper that was meant to have a episode of Sly escaping Ancient Egypt and they said no
@@sir.jinzu9426 Sucker Punch confirmed during a q&a event after they were done with Ghost Of Tsushima that they can revive Sly Cooper whenever they want they just choose to focus on new projects
Even their studio profile outlines they are an all hands on deck a single project at a time company
Studios move on from past projects to create new experiences nothing wrong with that
Hell the Sly Trilogy was not remastered until Sucker Punch gave their blessing towards Sanzaru Games
@@bamban_garcia5562 wasn't Sanzaru Games that worked on Sly 4? Then Facebook bought them to make VR games
@@sir.jinzu9426The studios don't want to work on the games you want back, easy as that. Sony is not forcing them to anything other than the live service stuff, and that initiative has now been canceled and Sony changed their strategy.
I really want sly cooper to come back and jak and daxter would be awesome also.
This is definitely one of the games that needs to return with Jak and Daxter with new storyline, new gameplay, graphics, there’s a lot, this is one of the legendary games that needs to come back
I played jak and daxter by complete accident one day and it became one of my favorite gaming series. I keep out hope they maybe one day we’ll get a sequel. ❤
The ps2 was no longer the most sold console by a year before you uploaded this video. You spoke in current, only a tiny tweak needed for it to be past tense
I remember playing the Jak games as kid. I barely remember the first Jak and Daxter game but I absolutely loved Jak II. The change in the tone in gameplay was memorable but my 11 year old self thought it was the coolest thing ever. Jak 3 was even better and I have fond memories of that game as well. I remember back then I didn't hear about anyone who didn't like the tone shift from the first to Jak II. In my opinion, it was the right move.
Loved all three games but I'll always wonder how the stories and gameplay of sequels could've been if they kept the story in the original game's world.
I remember going to a friend’s house as a child and playing jak the first time. I thought it was amazing, the vehicle movement REALLY stood out to me for some reason at the time.
Best duo ever these games were the best played everyone
Your planning to do: What happened to Sly Cooper?
I think now could be a great time to revamp the series. We have so much high tech, challenging games at the moment, this would be refreshing
Wasn’t much into the early games, but the 3rd? Loved it. Great replaying opportunities, plus just finding cool fights to get in around the city once you had all the weapon upgrades. And stealing countless hover cars and getting in dogfights with police
Jak 2 is one of my favorite games of all time. Very frustrating but still love the game. PS2 with Jak Ratchet and Sly Cooper was a great time. Maybe one day we will get more.
I prefer Jak and Daxter over Ratchet and Clank. Both are good, but I enjoyed the dark gritty feeling of Jak 2 and even somewhat in 3.
Rebuilding it as an rpg could open up a whole new experience that could be amazing if handled correctly
Also if they ever made a Jack and Dexters 4 that would be epic and I would buy it immediately!🙌
This and ratchet and clank with my dad back in the days man what a fucking memory being born in the 90’s such a blessing when it came to gaming
I missed PlayStation franchises that aren't on the PS5 yet.
I would lose my breath if Killzone, Sly Cooper, Resistance or Jax and Daxter rebooted or made a comeback to the PlayStation 5.
Jak & Daxter could go the Zelda BOTW or TOTK route, that would be awesome
10:49 Jak X was phenomenal, my personal favorite. And yes, I grew up with all
There's so much that they can explore that doesn't require playing as Jak or Daxter.
I say to leave their story as it is and explore other avenues in the world.
This trilogy deserves a proper remaster. Crash got one, Spyro. Plenty of games deserve that treatment. Twisted Metal, Sly Cooper, Ratchet and Clank. An actual remake would be incredible. Id prefer that then a sequel. The people who made the originals special arent there anymore. Instead id like a proper way to play it. The ports on ps4/ps5 run like garbage and the HD collection is literally locked to the ps3. The series should not be left behind. Gex is coming back, for gods sake. Jak deserves to as well.
