Undead Wolf Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 It's cool that they're bringing them over to PS4 despite having been remastered on PS3. It gives me hope that Ratchet & Clank will release on PS4 too. Jak and Daxter is fine, but we all know R&C is the better series. ? I probably won't be picking this up since I already got the plats in the PS3 versions. I don't really have an itch to go back and play them. Not interested in playing some racing game spin-off either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I've only gotten the plat in the first game myself, so if it's sold on it's own... dunno, I may get it again, as I still did enjoy the first game. Only played a bit of the second game, never got around to the third game though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take an innocent third person platformer over some bootleg version of GTA any day of the week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkusT1992 Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 That's good news. I liked every Jak and Daxter game. The question is why not include Jak and Daxter The Lost Frontier? With this all games would be available on PS4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrakeHellsing Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Also, I will say this, if they're doing this with Jax and Daxter, I do hope Sly Cooper comes to the PS4 as well. I may have gotten the platinum in the first three games, but I'll be happy to get a platinum in those games once again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The GTA spinoffs were ported to the PS2, as well, though, and haven't been rereleased on the PS3 or the PS4. Interesting that God of War did it.

Wonder why they put them on there in the first place, instead of doing PS4 releases. This happened last year? But I still would not get my hopes up with anything from Naughty Dog. I feel like they don't want to put the effort into it, for games where they weren't the developers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah they were released in 2013 as PS2 Classics. Would hope they'd come to PS4 as well. As for J&D The Lost Frontier, it probably won't come because it was panned. Naughty Dog have nothing to do with these like, it's Sony's decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheVader66 Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 (edited) Oh thank you so much Sony, I don't care if it creates a duplicate trophy list on my account. I am getting the Jak and Daxter Series since it is the reason why I joined PlayStation over Xbox and Nintendo back in 2004. This is such a great day at the moment (even though I am sick) first this news and second someone posted a really great artwork of Tiara from Fairy Fencer on my Compile Heart community, let's just say Ooooooh myyyyyyyyyy ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) 1 hour ago, Undead Wolf said: It's cool that they're bringing them over to PS4 despite having been remastered on PS3.

In all seriousness, though I would hope that the Ratchet and Clank series comes to the PS4 as well and also for Sly Copper series to join them and make the PS2 Platform Trinity on PlayStation 4.

As for J&D The Lost Frontier, it probably won't come because it was panned. Naughty Dog have nothing to do with these like, it's Sony's decision. Naughty Dog actually has quite the pull inside of Sony it seems. Bend wanted to make another Uncharted on Vita after they wrapped up on Golden Abyss, but Naughty Dog was afraid of franchise fatigue [and I can't really fault them for this, it's a valid concern]. [then Bend wanted to try out inFamous... but by then Sony cut the cord :'(] Given the reputation of the studio, it wouldn't surprise me if Sony allow them a lot of freedom just so they keep everyone there happy and thus the quality of the studio remains largely intact. Naughty Dog is also a studio that was never supporting Sony's gimmicks that many other studios tossed in their games. ie; PS Move, while inFamous 2 had it, Killzone had it... I still hope we get it though. People may crap on it, but I would still like to play it. People trash the R&C spinoffs a lot, but I still enjoyed the hell out of them for example. But then I knew they were different going in and so wasn't expect them to be traditional R&C... apparently that's hard for people. I digress. Maybe in like 6 months Sony can just dump the game out with no announcement. That's a good compromise imo 10 hours ago, Undead Wolf said: It's cool that they're bringing them over to PS4 despite having been remastered on PS3.

I can never get enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the link i got the impression that it was a full HD upgrade The EU-post says the following: Quote Experience these Naughty Dog PS2 classics with 1080p up-rendering and Trophy support. Additional enhanced features include Shareplay, Remote Play, and Activity Feeds (an active PlayStation Plus membership is required to use certain online features). https://blog.eu.playstation.com/2017/04/03/jak-and-daxter-ps2-classics-coming-to-playstation-4/ And up-rendering typically hints at the fact that it's one of the PS2onPS4-games and not a completely new release. But I guess we will see when someone starts the game on PS4 and sees the PS2-logo or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeldinX Posted April 7, 2017 Author Share Posted April 7, 2017 (edited) Splashdown: Rides Gone Wild and The King of Fighters '98: Ultimate Match rated for PS4 Rainbow Studios' jet ski racing sequel Splashdown: Rides Gone Wild has been rated by the ESRB for a PS4 release, the latest in the increasingly long list of PS2 leaks to come from THQ Nordic. There's no sign of the original Splashdown, though it should be noted that one was originally published by Atari not THQ so the rights to re-release it may not belong to Nordic. Heads up to @Feddixx Also just leaked is the next PS2 game from SNK, The King of Fighters '98: Ultimate Match. That's the 2008 remake version with the addition of more characters, a host of new moves and new bosses, though it does also include "Neo Geo Mode" which is direct port of the original version of the game. With the game just recently rated by PEGI it shouldn't be too long until it releases for PS4. Edited April 9, 2017 by dell9300 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question is why not include Jak and Daxter The Lost Frontier? With this all games would be available on PS4 Main reason: It's not a classic. (Jak X: Combat Racing, though, is a classic.) Secondary main reason: It's actually a port of the original PSP game, thus it would be a bad idea to port it over even if it was a classic. (It's just a doubly bad idea as the PS2 version is pretty poor.) Daxter (PSP) is a classic, and good game, but it's also not coming to PS4 (because it's a PSP game). Daxter (which is not available on PS4 btw) and TLF would need remasters to be viably enjoyable on now gen systems.

Golden Abyss was left out because its story was disconnected from the former-Trilogy. In the case of the 4 Jak games on PS4, The Lost Frontier is left out because it's not a classic, with its poor performance on PS2 acting as supportive reinforcement. What supports that idea is that the successful, classic game, Daxter, which story is connected to the trilogy (there's actually a few bits of essential narrative aspects exclusive to Daxter that you'll only ever know from playing it), is not even included in the PS4 Jak line-up.

Ratchet is good, you're right; however, Jak and Daxter: The Precursor alone is the best PS2 Platformer, and outclasses the entire R&C Trilogy on its own.

DrakeHellsing Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Well, I still hope that more interesting PS2 games do get announced soon, I mean jet ski racing is neat and all that, but it wont be for me though. Sucks that licensed games wont happen as such, such as any of the SpongeBob games from the PS2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
