Does he have a goatee or not? Click to find out!

Why is Jak so angry on the cover for Jak & Daxter: The Lost Frontier?

A) It's been four years since Jak 3! Even Daxter got his own game!
B) Franchise creator Naughty Dog abandoned Jak for Nathan Drake, a man that can't even transform!
C) Okay, Jak's been emo since Jak II. This is nothing new.
D) This.

The Lost Frontier will be available on PSP (in both UMD and PSN flavors) and on PS2 on November 3.

hmm, it's a hard choice, but i pick D.

I know you said you were going to change your avatar but there it is. Ruling so hard.

cute ain't he?

I never gave this games a chance, I remember last gen I was annoyed by
Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank, and Sly Cooper. Good thing all three studios moved unto Uncharted, Resistance(eh), and inFAMOUS and left those kiddie looking games aside.....well most of them

Too bad Resistance and Infamous are awful. But cmon...kiddy games? Because they have color?

The even funnier part is you likely think you're mature because you're playing Uncharted 2 instead of Jak.

I said I never gave them a real chance last gen because they look like kiddie games, I tried Ratchet and Clank this gen didn't like it, Sly Cooper I might buy if it comes, as for Jak and Daxter, I have no idea how it plays, so Im glad those studios moved to new IPs

"Too bad Resistance and Infamous are awful"

I've been looking all day for someone to say something stupid that would make me laugh. Finally!!!!!

I don't know what's worse, talking down Jak & Daxter / Ratchet & Clank / Sly Coopper or calling Infamous a bad game.

I'll go with the former.

Too bad you didn't like 3 of the best games last generation (not so sure about Sly, since I didn't play any of its games).

Sucks for you :)

you say ratchet, jak and sly are kiddie looking and its good the studios left them, yet you have a sackboy as your avatar, one of the most kiddie looking games this gen

But Infamous was awful to me, probably the worst game I've played this year. Granted, I rarely play bad games so that's why it's that high on my "didn't like" list for this year. The game was ridiculously slow (climbing buildings brick by brick got old fast), combat got repetitive and wasn't very fun, story was boring.

It guess it was more boring than actually awful, but that doesn't change how much I dislike it. At least the reason I didn't like it wasn't because it's "too kiddy" or "too grey"

Sly and Jak weren't kiddie games, and Ratchet is fun for everyone. Don't knock it til ya try it. Otherwise you turn into a tmac.

also, tmac, you said you liked infamous when it came out. why did you change?

It was fun at first but it got old extremely fast. By the midpoint I was burned out already.

It might be true I might have missed on great games(not counting Ratchet) but I think their new IPs are more appealing, except Resistance(Insomniac sux?)
So I say bring on: Uncharted 3, inFAMOUS 2,..............and Resistance 3 :|

Infamous was bad? What? It was a bit repetitive, but it was still fun.

Marius, please tell me that you've played the Metal Gear Solid games. MGS2 and 3 were some of the best games last gen.

No, I didn't play those games MGS4 was my first game in the series.
All I remember from last gen was a bunch of GTA, GOW, KH, and bunch of EA sports games, Once I discovered the Internet and got myself a PS3 I learn to be more open minded..........to what Sony puts out ;)

And Epic threw away Jazz Jackrabbit for Unreal and Gears. : (

Damn it you fucking customers, you don't like Jazz, Sly, Jak, Rachet, etc and instead all these testestorone filled games?

screw infamous 2, bring on sly 4.

you're one of those assholes that would rather watch terminator salvation over wall-e, aren't you

marius- ratchet and clank is a great game franchise IMO. hell the ps3 game was pretty long and kept me involved and im 27 years old.hell i had more fun with the game than some DRABBY shooters that have come out this gen. whats better than a game that a kid, teen, and adult can each enjoy and have fun ? its the best of both worlds, kinda like a great pixar or animated movie.... you know the ones where us adults can still enjoy the movie and we even get some mature jokes, the kids dont yet understand...

tmac- wow oh wow.... i had my rifts with resistance 2 not allowing for the same split screen co-op experience as was found in resistance 1, but both games were still great and long for a shooter.
infamous i havent played yet... i dunno.. but you might be right on the other franchises being better franchises...

"probably the worst game I've played this year."

Haven't played many games this year, have you?

here's my opinion:

ratchet > resistance
uncharted > jak
sly > infamous

Marius, you need to go buy Metal Gear Solid: The Essential Collection. It has the first 3 MGS games in a box for only $30. But MGS2 and 3 are on PS2 so you need to have a backwards compatible PS3 or just a PS2, of course.

@Traceur

No, not bad games at least. 99% of the games I play are very good because of how much research I do, and my intuition. Every now and then one bad game, like Infamous, does sneak through though. I'm not perfect :P

Insomniac sux? Really Marius have you played the 1st 3 spyro games?Spyro > Ratchet & Clank > Resistance

*spoiler*
He does NOT have a goatee!

Naughty Dog, now that your work is done with Uncharted 2. Could you possibly do a true Jak and Daxter for the PS3? Hell, you can even remake the original and I'd still buy it.

Yes! This! Uncharted is awesome, but take a break from Drake and lets see Jak and Daxter on that nice shiny engine you guys have over there at the Naughty Dog Studios. That would be awesome.

I don't think Jak needs a remake, I'd rather something fresh, a new Jak.

But if you really want a remake, SotC is the one that deserves it the most.

SotN remake. YES YES YES.

Oh wait you said SotC. Oh well forget what I said.

They talked about doing Jak PS3, but after the success of Uncharted they went with Uncharted 2 instead. Jak PS3 is still rumored to be in development.

Castlevania? Sorry, I'd still prefer Shadow of the Colossus :P

what if they are working on uncharted 3 ?

Shadow of the Colossus was an amazing game, but it doesn't need to be remade.

Green eyebrows ftw!

I still really want to see a new Jak Game using the Uncharted Engine...With a few modifications of course.

Could you imagine Jak in High-Definition?! Heck Yes!!!!!

ND... What what hath you done?

Just cuz the review says its not the greatest... doesn't mean it wont be. Im sure the Jak fans of the previous gen. will love it. how could they not? I mean... we dont NEED to hear the story line again, we are used to the not-so-helpful jumps, and camera angle? Well, we cant win them all right? I say we start counting our chickens or so the expression says.

You know what would have been a really cool feature? Have those studios have an unlockable alternate main character. Like have Jak as an unlockable main character in Uncharted, where you can play the game as Jak instead and hear his quips and such instead of drake, kinda like alternate dialogue. Maybe just tweak things a little to give it a different feel the second time through.

I know Playing through Resistance as Ratchet a second or third time through would keep things fresh and mix things up a bit. Same with Sly and inFamous.

It would be an easy way to extend the life of a game and make the plot worthwhile to watch on the second playthrough as you try to finish collecting everything.

it wasnt much but in the Jak racing game you could play as Ratchet

>Jak
>emo

Doesn't work that way. He was angry as balls from the getgo after all the Dark Eco experiments.

This is mah srs face.

God I remember the Jak games on my ps2, I don't think many games could match Jak 3, and based on what I've read about this game, its just like when Jak X came out for me :/

I say....
(E) All of the Above
