Jak and Daxter Collection™ Behind the Scenes

This video shows the behind the scenes making of Jak and Daxter Collection™ with Naughty Dog and Mass Media.

[@Spaceblazer]

Can't think of a better game to grow up with.

[@leo-n8er73]

Spaceblazer ikr

[@thepikarivera7706]

Spaceblazer there's different games a lot of people have grown up with. For example, I grew up with Mario and DKC. Others grew up with Banjoo-Kazooi or Crash Bandicoot. There's a ton of great classics out there. I'm starting to play this collection of Jack and Daxter games and I'm exited. I've only played Daxter and Jak and Daxter the last frontier.

[@phillipdufoe2436]

Jak should come back on PS5.

[@sarkisbabikian6252]

*cough* ratchet and clank *cough*

[@josuepon0318]

Ratchet and Clank

[@undefBehav]

Andy Gavin and Jason Rubin... I couldn't just thank enough for you guys for giving me a vivid childhood...

[@Homixide701]

Yok artık, Jak serisini bilen bir Türk mü görüyorum ? :) Gerçi 6 sene olmuş.

[@undefBehav]

@@Homixide701 Tabii ki! Çocukluğumun oyunu, hâlâ oynarım. :)

[@Homixide701]

@@undefBehav benim en sevdiğim oyun serisidir kendileri. Yıllardır yeni oyununu bekliyorum ama geldiği yok :).

[@gtprime2410]

Agreed!!

[@samwelknightley4676]

The original jak games were my childhood I’m 21 now still waiting on the jak 4 for 15 years I’ve been waiting

[@GolDiO]

I'm 26 and its been 20 years now, but we still waiting :3

[@GabrielGoebbert]

best game ever. playing this game again after 11 yrs and still love it.

[@PaulSeerajX]

Way more fun than Uncharted, and makes you overall happier while playing.

[@duanehostetler2027]

I agree.

[@4rl0ng]

Couldn't agree more

[@MrMetallix]

I love both… uncharted is one of my favorite games of all time.

[@picklelord2048]

[@SN-yn6it]

Strongly agree!!!!

[@Alex-444x94]

Pleeease make another jak and daxter game..

[@Alex-444x94]

***** why not?

[@Chris_Burdick]

django chubbinz Long story short, we don't need anymore Jak & Daxter games.

[@SuxForYouNerd]

yes we do wtf

[@billcipher3946]

SuxForYouNerd no

[@CekeLiefj]

20 years later and jak & daxter are still as iconic as when they were freshly released

[@SrSeed]

The world building on this series is breathtaking. The artstyle and animation just blows my away to this day. I wish I could personally thank all this Devs for giving me an happy childhood. I couldn't wish for anything better

[@Mr.HotDogShirtGuy]

To this day, Jak is still the game that has the most responsive controls out of all the games I have played so far.

[@tournamentnetwork846]

we need a jak 4

[@runnycoder]

This game will never loose its charm, I played it ever since the first Jak and Daxter all the way till Jak 3 on the PlayStation 2 and when I got my hands on this game remastered in HD it was amazing. I am still hoping that naughty dog will make a Jak 4 and continue the story because that's just how great of a game this was. Until that happens or even if it never does I will still play these games regardless of how old I am.

[@Chris_Burdick]

Michael Capoccia Jak 4 is never going to happen, because Naughty Dog has moved on.

[@ThingyMcJiggy]

@Chris Burdick they only scraped the idea they had for Jak 4. They never completely removed it from their “worktable”.

[@ThingyMcJiggy]

@Chris Burdick btw what is that Hitachi wallpaper you are using? I’ve seen a bunch of people using it.

[@tvhead7074]

Naughty Dog please make jak 4.

[@ShellDogFTW]

+brock bourque They kinda did, it was the last of us

[@tvhead7074]

Does the Last of Us have a jet board?

[@ShellDogFTW]

It was a spiritual successor, the development of Jak 4 created the last of us.

[@tvhead7074]

I know that, but does it have characters with pointy ears?

[@tvhead7074]

A free roam city?

[@GravyBrainz]

jak and daxter was the best game for its time in my opinion and jak 2 just blew me awayyy so glad they decided to update it in hd but regardless nothing beats the classics im so glad this was apart of my childhood

[@Kayothic]

Agree

[@tvhead7074]

GravyBrainz Jak 2 is the best. I think if they come out with a Jak 4 we would have an Uncharted situation where the second game still holds up amazing to the fourth game.

[@alo93533]

2021 and 2022 around the corner. WE NEED JAK 4! 😩😤

[@manup716]

If you want Jak and Daxter Remastered for PS4. Please thumbs up this comment. Let Naughty Dog know that this game despite the fact being old it's still a great game from my child hood and would wish to play it on my PS4 again.

[@leo-n8er73]

John Doe I would love a remaster, but a jak 4 is my main concern

[@derekbedard909]

Vladimir Putin Remaster or jak 4

[@dugbowser5028]

Well it happened

[@MLGD0lan]

@@dugbowser5028 The Jak Collection on the PS4 is not the PS3 Remaster, its just an Emulator running the games, thats why you see the PS2 Logo at the start. The problem with the Emulated Versions are bugs and enormous performance problems. Also the remaster had a better resolution and remastered textures. The PS4 Versions are really a bad representation of the originals.

[@kazutothegamer3090]

I loved Jak and Daxter as a kid and i still love it to this day

[@Totaku20]

I never really had J&D in my childhood i only got to play a little bit of the beginning of the first game when i was younger and finally being able to play the games was awesome~i bought the HD re and i love it. I really COULD NOT put the controller down. The story line and art is great and now I'm in the mix of the fandom wanting more,waiting for Jak 4. Thank You Naughty Dog for making a Remaster of J&D i would never have been able to play it and experience it fully myself if you hadn't done this~

[@Sonic45Xawesomeness]

TheOtaku14 same here only I got a physical PS2 copy of the game at a thrift store because I sadly didn't own a PS3 :(

[@galaxy_kitten95]

I miss Jak and Daxter ;_; They were my childhood, and at 18, I still play the games over and over again (wheater it's the HD collection or on the PS2) We need Jak 4 or even a reboot, Naughty Dog! I will never let that up!

[@kevindeming5940]

I will keep watching and playing jak and daxter. I will never stop playing it. Its apart with ratchet and clank and sly cooper and Naughty Dog and also my child hood. Awesome PlayStation games never get old.

[@kratosgow09]

Bring Jak and Dax on PS4! Please Naughty Dog.

[@mahdibrd4625]

i think they will never do that

[@drgonphart5415]

YES PLZ

[@INIKIATHEKINGXX]

They'll do their best to not release a Jak game. Haha.

[@kevinnieves3258]

The game just got a rating from ESRB and should be coming out very soon!!!

[@shadowedshikamaru2182]

If you preordered uncharted the Last legacy they give you Jak and daxter for the PS4. It was like a little gift they give you, it's very nice of them to do that, but kinda sad as well because not everyone can get the game as of right now since it was a preorder exclusive

[@brandonhannah8230]

Thank you all so much for this game.

[@bradleygo1]

i love replaying this game every time. nothing beats the atmosphere. was clearly made with love

[@deftestaphid2026]

I still come back to this because of how nostalgic the music and artwork is.

[@matthewdunn1038]

I really want a new jak and daxter!!!! Such an iconic game!!!

[@AleIest]

please Naughty Dog come back jak and daxter and crash bandicoot

[@jonnybravo96]

yeah PLEASE COME BACK JAK AND DAXTER AND CRASH BANDICOOT, THEIR WERE THE BEST GAMING SERIES IN THE WORLD !

[@raishakisaragi6899]

BRING THIS GAME SERIES BACK

[@SWellusionist]

Platforming is my fav type of gaming and more fun than FPS, racing and sport. Jak, sly, and ratchet few of the best platforming games on ps2

[@paradisegunshot]

these types of games should be back on the market... they're so fun!

[@Chris_Burdick]

paradisegunshot Nah.

[@yflyguy5194]

Chris Burdick Yeah

[@justsomeguyontheinternet562]

Swillusionist i agree, platformers are the best.

[@xXYannuschXx]

We need Jak and Daxter 4 so badly :(

[@windy3935]

Favorite video on youtube. I've watched this several times a year ever since it made its debut.

[@user-qs9ps3hw6u]

Brings back so many memories

[@Kingmoney1331]

Oh how I wish they'd try to continue their development on that reboot.

[@delta5542]

***** yea but they said maybe we will try again in the future so maybe they wil make on a day a jak 4

[@derekbedard909]

We need jak 4

[@JamesAxis13]

Upon revisiting the jak series on my ps4 i can still feel that magic i felt when i was 5 years old. I love it soo much.

[@Voidac]

I'd sell my soul for a Jak 4... This series was my childhood.

[@calebnickens363]

I still have them for ps2 I love those game You guys are great

[@apoolofwomen]

These games were my childhood! Thank you so much for all the hours I played and imagined the world you built for us! It was incredible and highly underrated for the tech and experience

[@apoolofwomen]

I just setup my ps3 and I'm replaying them all!

[@ImaginationGamer25]

Oh, the nostalgia! I will never forget Jak & Daxter! It actually dominated most of my teenage years and influenced a lot of my decisions in life. When they say a video game can't change your life I say, "Oh, yes it can!" If it weren't for Jak & Daxter I would've never discover the sites that I discovered, made the friendships that are still strong to this day, made long broken connections with family, have the gall to write stories online, and even avoid serious mistakes that I would've made in life! Just naming all of this makes me wanna play again. Long live Jak & Daxter!

[@nikolayasmus]

Yeah, memories come back! It is the most favorite franchise of my childhood!! Naughty Dog & Sony, please give us a new Jak and Daxter adventure!!

[@gtone339]

Miss this old-school Zany NaughtyDog! They should pause their mature R16-R18 games for now and focus on reviving Jak and Daxter series.

[@Animatrix156]

jak an dexter 3 was my favourite ps2 game everrr!

[@iamtorrego]

And here I am in 2021, resentful, because they left the franchise behind. Such a special thing this game, other studios having great results with their old IP like Insomniac's Ratchet and Clank, and Naughty Dogs just ignoring the chance.

[@TerrorOfTalos]

The sad truth is they have no idea how to continue it without majorly altering the IP which is why they cancelled the initial Jak 4 before moving on to TLoU.

[@mechaprodigy5892]

Jak and Daxter Is my fav series! I always played those series and It was awesome! I'm wanting to work there since I saw this!

[@SWellusionist]

Wish they were doin a jak 4 games instead of another uncharted game on ps4

[@WarioLand3]

Yeah, never cared for Uncharted or even The Last Of Us.

[@soronefabrik1]

they tried but failed to come up with an appealing redesign of the game

[@TheAgentofthesystem]

our generation is gone man. now its all about shooters. r.i.p age of platformers :( 1985-2005

[@ShamirGotSwagg]

Uncharted is the shit

[@esotericulmanist8331]

ShamirGotSwagg Yeah. But Jak needs a reboot

[@masivebob]

we want jak IV

[@baldi600]

Recently bought the collection and played through the games again, without a doubt my favorite games of all time. This is the 5th time I've watch this video and it won't be the last.

[@TheJoker-rd6cy]

I couldn't have asked for a better game to be part of my childhood

[@Spaceblazer]

ಠ_ಠ

[@Welmosca]

OMFG this was just the best behind the scenes I've ever watched...its possible to feel the passion of them for Jak and Daxter and also the nostalgia...also 2 Player Productions damn what a great job making this video...the songs on this video is just EPIC pure EPIC.I love be a gamer most of all a Hardcore Gamer.Thank God.Also ND thanks for such great games.

[@emmaklippel2815]

Loved this game as a kid and now my 5 year old has just conquered the final boss. He's still working on some cells but it's great being able to share my love of this game with him ❤

[@closetdoor27]

I grew up playing the Jak and Daxter series and still do. Naughty Dog thanks for making an amazing series!

[@jak300000]

I have been waiting SO, so long for this!.

[@drewbear_07]

I still Play this to this day

[@Furmanov18]

Re-watching this since it's my birthday today! I'm now 23 years old. Remembered this series back on PS2 and adored it, platinumed all three games last year. This video makes me smile, something very few things do. I really wish there will be a sequel soon. Sly's getting one so it's fair that Jak and Daxter gets one. Only them left, Sly is getting one and Ratchet & Clank got many PS3 games.

[@alpberkyuce6985]

thank you for shaping my childhood naughty dog i hope you'll make a jak and daxter game this good

[@zion6680]

The HD collection is rough. But thinking about who created the game to begin with, and all the gritty details of Naughty Dog's engines, Mass Media did a fine job.

[@Benjamillion]

Just baffling that they got rid of the detail of having a sun in the sky.

[@Cuckie1996]

Even though the HD collection came out in 2012 it took me till august 2013 to find out! was so happy to get to play jak and daxter, and ratchet and clank all over again all great games some of the best of the PS2. Thank you naught dog for jak and daxter!

[@evelynramirez73]

I think I'm going to cry :'( I want to get the collection for the holidays

[@R373N]

Never grew up with these games but kind of wish I did. I was a gamer even back then but didn't own a PS2. Glad to finally get around to playing them, on a PS5 of all things.

[@JenChenKid]

"This brings back memories..." Dude, this brought back my childhood memories. The trilogy was fantastic. :)

[@redfang3333]

Will always be my favorite series for as long as i play games, and that's going to be forever.

[@diegoXSX2020]

Jak 4, PLEASE!!!

[@davinpoggy]

this game truly is my fav game trilogy from a kid to now i love this game so much!!! to me its an instant classic and was fantastic

[@cantflyforshit]

gosh this game gives me sooooo much memories as a child. at the time I kept asking my parents for a ps2 (after I had seen it at my friends house) and this was the first game I played with my dad. heck we didn't know how to play or anything it was just awesome. thanks naughty dog for the fantastic times!

[@darealmuzik]

This was probably the best game I've played on my PS2 along with GTA: SA! Best game, developed by real artists and very enthusiastic people. Wish there would be more of these.. Good job NaughtyDog!

[@jackiboy1gm]

this is the game of all times i bought the game as soon as it relised and won all the 3 of them the same week the first time i played it was when i was like 5-7 years old and now im 15 all i wanna say is thank you for the awesome childhood i got thx!!

[@magnetic-zeros653]

My all time favorite game series. Sony please bring this back. Ps4 jak game!!

[@BrainOnVacationz]

Jak and Daxter series was such a big thing in my life 10 years ago, i would come home and spend most of my time on the games. made life easier to deal with y'know? Felt like i was in a different world, rather than dealing with stress of my own. i got straight into those games. from the moment The Precursor Legacy came out..wish they would do the game justice.. bring back the nostalgia for the old fans.. just remembering the teenage years. its a very personal feeling for me, Thank You Naughtydog.

[@brawler604]

Thank you for uploading this!

[@BROTERS707]

this video almost makes me cry ):

This is where I'm working after college! xD

[@undefBehav]

That is my dream too

[@MegaDrainProductions]

Better be good at what you do dude, the video game industry is not any easy one. It's just as hard as the film industry.

[@TraZix]

MegaDrainProductions yeah and getting a job there won't be easy. I'd need a beast of a resume.

[@MegaDrainProductions]

Have you had a job in the video game industry before? I remember looking at their site saying you at least need a few years in the industry and be proficient in programming and/or design.

[@TraZix]

MegaDrainProductions lmao i'm 17 and i plan on going into Computer Science (aka programming). But yeah also other companies like Nvidia also say you need a few years of experience before even applying.

[@NoobsSuckx7]

jak and daxter was the first game i got for my ps2 in 4th grade, good times.

[@SillyValentine]

Jak and Daxter series are timeless classics and one of the best games of the generation.

[@Benjamillion]

It's crazy how the original Crash Bandicoot games released during my childhood, but I was in my teens once the Jak games came out.
