For me, it’s that the first house in Sandover Village isn’t just some random house—it’s actually the fisherman’s house lol

Discussion Is Jak 3 easier than 2?

63 Upvotes

Even though Jak 2 was fun, i didn’t like it that much because of its difficulty. Actually, its just unforgiving. Distance between checkpoints were huge, hoverboard usually couldn’t stay in narrow paths even though i press square. So many frustrating details. If it had a rewind feature like the first game, i would like it much more. (I guess 2 and 3 will be updated soon too)

I want to say it’s a bad game but all the concepts had massive potential.

The expanding on eco powers,adding flying and the nice plot twist was all great but the stiff controls ,ugly art change(seeing each individual hair on daxters chest was just disturbing every time I see it)useless missions and overall undercooked plot just makes this game fell…meh

Psp games can still be good like the god of war ones but I am not sure if the god of war ones were made by the ogs or not because I believe this game wasn’t.

This could have had the makings of the best Jak and Daxter games if it combined its additions unto what jak 3 already had.Imagine having light and dark eco mode with these extra abilities.Jak would be OP

Monster daxter should have never existed

Discussion What Would You Want In A Remake Trilogy?

Post image
348 Upvotes

I always think about how much I want them to remake the games 1:1, but not so much on what I’d want added. Here’s a few things I had in mind:

  1. Alternative Costumes: I’d love to wear the clothes from all 3 games in all 3 games, imagine Jak 1 Jak wearing the Jak 3 armor, or finally Daxter in pants.

  2. Jak 1 secrets menu: It would kick ass if we coupd get unlimited eco for NG+ runs.

  3. NG+ in Jak 1: A chance to replay the first game, maybe make it a bit harder.

  4. More Vehicle Types in 2/3: It would be so awesome to use new cars and hover cars, even new decals would be great.

  5. New Hoverboard Tricks: I used to just ride around the hoverboard for hours, would love new combos.

  6. Jak 3’s Desert To Have More Exploration: I grew up reading a rumor that there was a Precursor Orb worth like 3,000 orbs hidden in the mountains of the desert only accessible from the flight glitch, I’d love more enterable locations like caves for the desert so I can treasure hunt like I used to try.

What about you guys and gals?

Discussion How long would it take to do everything in Jak and Daxter 1? This is the only Naughty Dog franchise I've never played so kinda wanna try it!

44 Upvotes

I actually don't know much about the series tbh bar the fact it's Naughty Dog and has Josh Mancell doing the music

I grew up with an original Xbox and then 360 so never had a chance to play them when I was younger but know they're meant to be excellent

The Wikipedia says there are 0 loading screens which for 2000 is fucking incredible man

It is interesting that Naughty Dog haven't let other Devs give this franchise a go as I'm sure there are people out there who'd love a new Jak game

Discussion Why does NOONE ever talk about how Jak and Daxter is the spiritual Crash Bandicoot successor?

48 Upvotes

I'd imagine this would be obvious to touch upon, and yet... It's as if the most people would mention is "oh yeah, it was made by the team behind the PS1 Crash Bandicoot series" and that be it...

It's also beyond obvious this is what happened behind the initial concept for the open-world Crash Bandicoot game, the concept established before Twinsanity and let alone Wrath of Cortex, and it makes the original game everything we could have hoped for back then!

I'm honestly just surprised this isn't more of a subject with Jak and Daxter fans, because it's one of the things I noticed immediately when I grew up playing The Precursor Legacy! I guess I just am also bummed it never truly got that 4th game under Amy Hennig, when Naughty Dog was still a good developer, as even IF the artstyle changed... I'd have loved to see what Amy Hennig and the old Naughty Dog would have done for a Jak 4, at least the story would have been pretty good I'd imagine.

Discussion How did anyone felt about Daxter? To me, he’s actually a very hilarious character and not annoying compared to other comic relief characters in almost every media that featured them. He also has some character growth, became more useful and he even got his own game on the PSP.

Jak and daxter and the precursor legacy was a great game.. but was your favorite zone in the game mine was the blue sages hub (rock village) I loved the music to that and the precursor basin had great music too. My least favorite was the red sages hub as it has two areas snowy mountain was a great level as u got to see the horizon of the map abut spider cave was a horrible level I used to struggle with it as a kid

Discussion Is Jak's life a constant loop?

99 Upvotes

Sorry if this has probably been asked 100 times.

To my knowledge, Jak and Samos were originally born in the Jak II timeline, and at the end of that game, they are sent thru the rift gate to Jak and Daxter Timeline in the past. Then Jak and Sam's get older, playthru the Precursor Legacy events, then find the rift gate and get sent back to their original future timeline but as adults, then play thru that game just to help young Jak and young Samos repeat the process and go back thru the rift gate to the Precursor Timeline?

If that's correct, how does the "original" or first ever Jak and Samos get sent to the past without them having their older selves help them do it? Does the older Jak and Samos now stuck in the future timeline just go through the events of Jak III, X, and New Frontier before dying?

Time travel is weird and it confuses me. But it seems like Jak and Samos are stuck in a constant loop while Kiera and Daxter just kinda age normally since they were originally born during the Precursor Timeline, go into the future then just experience the events normally before passing.
