Kane99 Posted December 30, 2024 Posted December 30, 2024 I was huge into the first couple Jak & Daxter games, and am sad to see that Sony hasn't really done anything with franchise since. I hear there are some classic Sony IPs featured in AstroBot and I hear there is a nod to Jak & Daxter. I haven't played it myself, but I can only imagine what the nod was. Anyway, it made me think of a new Jak & Daxter game. I would love to see them revive the game. I know Naughty Dog were the original developers, but I don't think they would be involved if a new game was produced. But I would just love to see a revival or even a continuation of the series. We got Ratchet and Clank pretty much each generation since, why no Jak and Daxter love?
killamch89 Posted December 31, 2024 Posted December 31, 2024 Totally agree with you! Jak & Daxter holds such a special place in gaming history, and it’s a shame the series has been dormant for so long. With the success of Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, I feel like there’s definitely room for a Jak & Daxter revival. Even if Naughty Dog isn’t involved, another studio could bring a fresh take while staying true to the original. AstroBot’s nods to classic Sony IPs give me hope we might see something someday.
Scorpion Posted December 31, 2024 Posted December 31, 2024 I completely agree! Jak & Daxter deserves a comeback, especially with nostalgic fans. A revival would be amazing fingers crossed!
Anders Posted January 13, 2025 Posted January 13, 2025 I honestly hadn't though about it, but I absolutely agree. Basically all other Sony mascots have had either remakes or brand new games over the last decade, except for Jak & Daxter. I remember when my older brother moved out, he took his PS2 with him, so I saved up and got my own PS2 slim with a copy of Jak 3. Playing that game on my own PS2 alone in my room for the first time is a great memory.
