    old thread but i put my 2 penny... ps2 was designed for analogue - rgb the best video out. if you hook it to any modern HDMI TV - you need very good converter. you will also have some lag from your TV and converter. I have OSCC which brilliant but... PS3 gives you HDMI output for PS2 games and if it's backwards comparable with PS2 - you can try both PS2 and PS3 version without emulation like PS4! PS3 version will win! even Ps4 pro will have some frame drops! Honestly! PS VITA is completely different animal. YOU PLAY on the GO!. yes - the frame rate id far from perfect - but if spend most of your time in the airports, hotels - that gives your the best experience to play your games and pick up your saves from PS3..... So even if Vita is not slow - do you really wanna get your PS3 on the run?

    Yeah even the 8-way snapping thing is a deal breaker for me, let alone things like the punch glitch and other strange anomalies... This really does effect immersion for me, I always loved how great Jak felt to move around on the PS2 when I was younger. I can't understand why these problems would arise considering how simple the games are.
    PS2 version by far.

  • @iTroysGhost
    @iTroysGhost 4 ปีที่แล้ว +22

    The PS3 HD collections are a full port of the games onto the system, whereas the PS4 versions are just the PS2 games being emulated. The limited directional inputs and the choppy performance are emulation errors due to the quick and dirty nature of the release. You can invert the camera on the PS4 versions but the option is hidden behind a button combination that I don't remember off-hand you'd have to Google it, this is because it's still just the PS2 rom so they couldn't alter the options menu to include the feature properly. Shame they didn't tell anyone, I was half way through the first one before I looked it up.
    I consider the PS3 ones to be my favourites over the PS2 because of the solid performance and the trophy support, despite some of the oddities that show up like the punch glitch and the general 'feel' being veeeeery slightly off. It's a shame they botched the PS4 ones.

    I like the PS3 version of the Jak and Daxter trilogy the best. The graphics and audio are nice and clean. The controls are fluid and easy. Plus I love how it's remastered in HD. Really feels like you're playing a Jak and Daxter adventure game. Then again, I don't really notice any difference with the Jak And Daxter games on PS2 and PS3. They seem the same.

      There is a noticable amount of input lag on PS3 compared to PS2... And that's not even accounting for Punch Glitch in terms of "feel" for the game, as that can also influence how you play the game. Graphics wise, I do prefer the PS3 version as well.

It can get quite confusing when different numbers are thrown at you one a time and the image changes with them, instead of them being organised neatly under whatever thing they belong under; like PS3 tech numbers (all of them) show below a PS3 pic, and so on... Or they pop up once you mention them but stay there for a while for us to get the full picture. But all in all informative as always! :D

    Thanks for the video, i do have one thing to add it's the lighting, effects and texturing you mentioned how it looked in the distance but not up close In comparing PS3 and PS4 Jak 1 I noticed clearer detail on Jak's clothing and Daxters fur texture, I believe there's also effects missing from the PS3 release which I think I can confirm unless the PS4 version removed them but I can't say for Jak 2 + 3.

    • @RodniDemental
      @RodniDemental 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I heard various lighting effects like more shiny reflections on certain 'metallic' surfaces but that's not something I've compared. I can confirm that the 'stars' (sun, night star and daystar from Jak 3) are just static sprites in PS3 where as in PS4 they're full on particle effects. Some of these may have been based on PS2 hardware rendering and so when porting, alternative methods to re-create the effects were necessary and optimisation to remove frame drops was deliberately considered on PS3 (and obvious meticulously considered on PS2). I feel like PS4 would perform better in terms of frame rate if eg. stuff like those star particles weren't constantly active.

    • @jakanddaxtermisconceptions4409

  • @RecycleFinn
    @RecycleFinn 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I think the reason why movement is so snappy in ps4 emulation because ps2 and ps3 controller use cross deadzone while ps4 controller uses circle, if you have ever tried to play ps3 version with DS4 controller, (or any game with movement to all directions) you would notice that the player cant move full speed when moving diagonally, this is because the games were built for cross deadzone. So i guess in PS4 jak games and other ps2 emu games they used hacky methods to increase the sensivity to reach full movement in these games.

    I'm surprised so many people are in favor of the PS3 remaster. It has visual glitches such as the missing green sun in the sky and Jak's hair is screwed up when using Light Jak in Jak 3.
    I mean, I still played it and liked it, but it honestly still ticks me off that they cut those corners, since the green sun gave the world a more unique artistic look and Light Jak now looks off.

      And kor's face being blacked out in the construction site before he reveals himself as well as the controls being swapped out in the whack-a-metal head game in a way that makes it a giant pain in the ass to finish(it happened only once, but I was still annoyed). And there's a side mission after you meet Kiera at the stadium(you compete the jet board challenge during this time) where you have to collect eco beams(right next to the stadium). If you complete that mission as soon as it appears, the game freezes up for whatever reason. Complete it later in the game, and you won't have this issue. Ps2 version doesn't have any of the issues I've listed above.

      Personally, I wouldn't be so disappointed if they released a patch fixing these minor issues, but seeing as they kicked it out the door without a care in the world shows how little they cared about making an authentic port. They settled with "good enough" and just moved onto their next project. I know these issues don't completely destroy the experience, but it's still disappointing to see such fixable issues get in the way of making it the definitive way to experience the trilogy.

      I thought it over for a bit, with it coming down between The Precursor Legacy and Jak 2, and I personally settled on the latter.
      I think all of the entries in the Jak trilogy were phenomenal from a technical standpoint, but I feel that Jak 2 offered something more revolutionary compared to The Precursor Legacy, and that Jak 3 was an expansion of Jak 2’s foundation and didn’t offer as big of a leap as it was between the first and second titles.
      Specifically, The Precursor Legacy took heavy inspiration from Super Mario 64’s formula and expanded it to include an open world with virtually no loading screens or breaks between gameplay, a day/night cycle, a deeper narrative compared to SM64’s, and vehicular gameplay. It certainly was a step above what SM64 offered, but I don’t expect The Precursor Legacy drawing in anyone else but the people who liked SM64.
      As for Jak 2, Naughty Dog wasn’t shy about revealing their inspirations from the GTA series when choosing this new direction for the series. When I was younger, my parents never let me play any games that were rated “M for Mature” like the GTA series. I think with Jak 2, it was revolutionary in the sense that they struck a perfect balance between making a GTA experience that was appealing to teens while still preserving elements from The Precursor Legacy so that the spirit of the first title was still present. In this case, they reached a new demographic that the series they took inspiration from couldn’t reach, and it gave the younger me a GTA experience I always wanted to experience (since I was forbidden from playing any of the GTA series) without any of the profanity or explicit content the GTA series is known for having. I’m sure there are many other GTA clones out there like The Simpsons Hit and Run that don’t have an M for Mature rating, but I think Jak 2 offered an experience that was as close as possible to having a GTA title rated T for Teens. I feel even Rockstar’s Bully for the PS2 wasn’t a GTA for teens, because Jak 2 offered players the ability to hijack the vehicles in the city without restriction, Jak used a gun that could kill people and creatures, etc.

    Cool vid man! I'm actually very interested in these type of comparisons.
    I heard some people mention input lag for PS3 but it's not something I can compare as I haven't played PS2 for years and PS3 is primary version for me so feels somewhat normal. And perhaps related; I've heard some people mention that PS3 controls don't have as smooth analogue? I don't think this is the same directional issue you mentioned on PS4 perhaps it's more the smoothness of the physical controller itself? - Makes me curious to dust off the PS2 to test those versions. XD
    Also when playing in debug mode on PS3 I have noticed that overall draw distance might be less ie. the horizon acts as a sort of draw line and undraws (or hides) map/objects that cross through it. It's kind of hard to describe as there seems to be an observational vertices between your point of view, the sky and the horizon that 'clouds' things in the distance at a shorter range, despite this overall the texture detail draw distance in general does seem higher on PS3.

      One of my weaker areas, but from the specific comparisons I've done in person, I indeed notice the draw distance itself wasn't actually improved, but just the detail. Do you agree?
      In general, the PS3C needed a far more deserving comparison than what we have. There are so many misconceptions (heh) and the HD Collection is often praised as the second coming of jesus when it has incompetent issues, overlooked, that a remaster should not have: many graphical glitches (not even Precursor metallic surfaces and particle effects, but things like Kor's black face, Light Jak's yellow hair, Light Jak's completely blue colored eyes in the cutscene, blurry/pixelated eye textures, and weak, if even existent, AA).

    I tried switching to 576p on my PAL PS3 to see what it would look like. It's worth noting that this also changes the refresh rate to 50hz. 50fps is fine but together with the lower resolution, I'm not sure it's worth the trade off. I wish there was an in-game option that didn't affect anything else but the aspect ratio.

      Use an mclassic and switch it to it's 4:3 mode. You'll get to keep 720p, 60fps and it'll even upscale to 1080p or 1440p(if you have a TV or monitor that supports that resolution).

      @jakanddaxtermisconceptions4409 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Quite interesting, isn't it? The load times are faster but the save loads are slower. (I guess speed-running the PS3C is still faster though because you're only ever loading the save file once, whereas the other load, multiple times.)
      Yeah do that, that'd be interesting. In all honesty, there is many comparisons needed with the different versions with the games in general. It's why I appreciated you acknowledging the 4:3 presence in only the PS2/PS4V and the invert camera (TPL/JII) in only the PS3V and the changed z-axis camera for the PS4V.

      - Jak X saves super fast on PS4 which basically stops that save file corruption glitch happening from PS2 as the game wants to autosave fairly often. I speculate it might still be possible but you'd have to power off while it's saving which is much less likely to occur now.
      - Particle effects (turbos) seem to have problems maintaining their positions in relation to the vehicle speed sometimes and the occasional frame drops when a lot of combat is happening.
      - Free unlockables from modern save files on PS4 make it easier to get everything without extra hardware ie. requiring a PSP on PS2 version.

    I have all versions, and the PS4 versions WOEFULLY NEED patches. The transition from PS2 to PS3 reused assets of the originals, but basically reprogrammed the game from the ground up to run on that weird architecture. The PS4 versions are more true to the originals, BUT.......PS2 games work on the PS4 through emulation, so the reason they're more true to the original is because they literally are the originals in ROM form. While I understand the PS2 is pretty intense to emulate, if they're going to sell me a game I already own they should at least make sure it runs as well as the original. The fact the PS2 emulator on the PS4 works at all is an impressive feat, but there are some glaring bugs in the Jak games. Besides the frame rate issue, the entire Precursor Mountain Temple area of Jak 2 is broken; Precursor textures constantly flicker and fail to interact with lighting correctly, and I've encountered random freezes and crashes when fighting the large metalheads that come crashing out of the hillsides. The directional control issues are likely a similar issue, bad implementation of controller translation to the PS2 emulator. The games themselves on the PS4 may not directly need patches, but the PS2 emulation itself may need some more work. As impressive as it is, if I'm going to pay Sony for to use it I'm not going to be as forgiving as I would be with an online console emulator project.
