Jak and Daxter™: The Precursor Jump Scare Legacy

[@MTCTpl]

Never tease the lurker

[@nicholasnorman4179]

Yeah I learned that the hard way😊

[@duncanmcknight4622]

Yes. Reminds me of the snake head the episode from Penguins of Madagascar. The way how it looks.

[@bofthechad8208]

That shark used to scare me shitless as a kid

[@ColdBear23]

It would get my heart rate going for sure!

[@VeganerHippie]

It still scares me shitless as an adult

[@ColdBear23]

@VeganerHippie, me as well. Always since I was a child till now, a young adult! 🤣

[@eraytunali998]

Also the one in ratchet and clanl rilgar blackwater city

[@docseeds31]

as soon as I heard that fking shark my heart was pumping hard just like in the game I quit the game because of that bitch 😤 a few times

[@xXSilentAgent47Xx]

Shark was a real threat in Jak 1 that he ended on the wall trophy in Jak 2.

Good catch brother! 😁

[@alexramirez8265]

Lol i know you started panicking there

[@yzbrian]

Lurker Shark is scarier than Jaws, change my mind

[@TalenkauenTV]

I remember once I brought the shark up to the beach to the point he couldn't follow me, so he'd just swim in place at the water's edge. Turns out he's also immune to damage if you try to wail on him there.

[@ColdBear23]

I could never lure the Lurker Shark that close to the beach without being swallowed whole! 😅😅

Where is the giant lurker shark from the thumbnail? Clickbait ?

[@ColdBear23]

Clickbait 😉

[@SHMidlerPlays]

I remember the first time I saw that thing, it scared the shit out of me

[@ColdBear23]

It still scares TF outta me man! Lmao!

[@SHMidlerPlays]

@@ColdBear23 I can say that about the beast from Mz Ruby’s lair in the first Sly Cooper game

[@SHMidlerPlays]

@@ColdBear23 and agreed

[@ColdBear23]

@SHMidlerPlays you might be surprised to hear that I’ve never played Sly Cooper but I have watched people play the game 👀

[@SHMidlerPlays]

@@ColdBear23 I recommend you give all 4 games a try (and yes I did say 4 because I actually like Sly 4 and think it is a good game, not the best game but still a good game). They are great games

[@HiImTylerr]

Something similar happenes to me. I got on the platform as the shark came after me. It circles the platform 3 times before giving up and swimming away. I jump to the next platform and mid jump the shark jumps and eats me midair. Scared THE SHIT out of me.

[@ColdBear23]

Jumpscare mechanics man! 🫠

[@Jackskellington9100]

That thing still scares me

[@ColdBear23]

Me too 😳

[@TraZix]

I know Crash Bandicoot was created to be a rival towards SEGA’s Sonic, which had the infamous drowning water soundtrack that played when you were underwater too long. I’m wondering if the lurker shark in this game was meant to be the Naughty Dog variation of that since they both have a rising audio sequence that plays which is meant to scare the player.

[@ColdBear23]

Good observation & theory! Might have to look into that one deeper 😉

[@projecttakehaya1197]

I still get scared when that THING(lurker) comes out and gobbles you. At least in jak 2, the jumpscare is instant. No panicking for a solid 2-3 secs. You go too deep, the crimson guard shoots you down

[@ColdBear23]

I wish they introduced the lurker shark again but maybe bigger for Jak 2 & 3 😈

[@crimsonmaelstrom573]

@@ColdBear23in 3, it’s some giant sea monster that grabs you with a tentacle out of nowhere from below

[@ColdBear23]

@crimsonmaelstrom573 that giant squid tentacle is kinda scarier though huh?

[@JavertRA]

Love Rock Village, wish you could explore it more; like up in the living areas overhead

[@ColdBear23]

I wish we could too man. Pretty cool areas if we got to explore them, I think

[@JClackout1]

Bro hearing that sound screech then panicking and not catching the ledge as a kid was my Achilles heel. I hated that damn shark bro. I wouldn’t even go to the Precursor temple at first cause of that frickin shark

[@ColdBear23]

It still gives me the heebie jeebies man! Hearing … *Very Strong Heartbeats* getting closer & closer 😬🦈

[@JackTheOutcast]

Happens to the best! 😂

[@ColdBear23]

Jak the Shark Bait

[@Aguyincanada0]

It’s not a jump scare if I see his fins before he jumps

[@jozhfy]

the sound when he is hunting you 🥴

[@ColdBear23]

You’d get that slight Adrenaline Rush fs 😝

[@namacore]

This is my trauma

[@ColdBear23]

Hearing a heartbeat from the open water would absolutely cause some trauma!

[@nicholasnorman4179]

I use the troll this thing

[@ColdBear23]

I thought I could 🙄😆
