Making of Jak II

[@musicmaniack256]

I am really glad that I was one of the many people to play the Jak and Daxter series as a kid.

[@njwrestler673]

Same I miss It

[@musicmaniack256]

But hey, it doesn't mean you can't go back and play the series again! I recently dug up my PS2 and started playing Jak 2 to finally get all of the Precursor Orbs, then I'll move onto Jak 3, and then start the HD collection. I just hope that Naughty Dog continue Jak and Daxter again.

[@toymariozone]

+musicmaniack256 What if they make it rated M? It shifted from E I think, then to T. I like the idea.

[@regipokemon9408]

You know there are rumors going around on the internet that there is going to be a jak 4 for the PS4 this year 2016, because there was some game pictures or game clips that may have been leaked out on the internet that makes me think they are finally going to make another jak and daxter game after about half a decade since "Jak and Daxter The Lost Frontier."

[@TheExecutorr]

Fun is, as a kid it took me half a year to escape that tank in the third mission after the prison escape. But I never thought it was too hard, I rather thought I was too bad and have to become better. As a result, now I am a master at this game. Give me any mission and I'll complete it in a few tries. But to be honest, if I would play it today for the first time, I would probably drop it soon because it's too hard.

[@destinyawaitsx3]

The best gaming experience I've ever had. I am glad I was able to be a part of it as a kid.

I don't. It really is a great game, but I would rather live in a zombie apocalypse than in this ruined world. I mean, there is the evil dictator inside, who has no scruple to kill hundreds of innocent civillians to keep his reign, plus a massive deadly creature force outside the city that intends to kill every human on sight. Man, you could live in the warhammer 40k universe as well ^^

I adore all 3 games but I wish the 2 sequels kept the colourful whimsical vibe of the first game. When I do my replay thrus of these games I always have the best time with Jak 1. There’s something so mesmerizing about that world. The art direction, level design, color pallet and seamless open world really give that game a charm the other 2 lack

[@RodniDemental]

Jak has really done a lot of growing up this game, the plot actually starts out with him spending some time in jail, he becomes hardened, when he emerges he's definitely changed and daxter takes notice of that immediately. Jak comes out of his shell during his prison stay, I guess he spends some time with himself and as he comes out he has a personality. Which surprises Daxter

[@ImaginationGamer25]

@thatsongperson Erol is commander of the krimzon guard and Ashelin is captain. That's why she says for Jak to watch out for Erol and that she can't protect him from Erol because Erol has a higher rank than Ashelin. So, Ashelin has no authority over Erol if he tries to kill Jak. Understand?

[@PS3SuperXSayian360]

well Im pretty sure that Erol is above her simply because barron wouldn't had hesitated in killing her if she became an problem, now the same could be said for erol but he is actually more useful imo simply cause that is barrons right hand man, usually those who knows all of the secrets to barrons plans usually is the 2nd highest rank next to the leader ( barron ). samething in military, with security clearance, the higher the rank is, the closer you are to the files/generals in this case erol.

[@rorybarber5076]

A lot of the unused assets were used in the demo, if you can hunt the demo disc down.

[@BilczaTheHedgehog]

i have a Demo Disc with Jak II, what really sucks is the very short time limit, i wonder if a special cheat code could halt the timer, it is really sad, and the bad thing is the Timer does set the times differently, at the pump station: 1-2 Minutes, then Game Over, other levels where only few seconds long, sry 4 my bad english

[@BradPwnsU]

Bilcza The Hedgehog/P.Klisik isn’t there that developer mode now? Maybe you can try that

[@TheMusicalGameroriginal]

well true, I don't understand why they did that with AC, I think it is because 2, brotherhood and revelations all had the same character, but Naughty Dog did give the other company permission to make the game, so technically it is an officially sequel and is probably the closest thing ur gonna get to jak 4.

[@Benjamillion]

right. but i did say that jak 1 had a lighthearted touch. which is what they should have stayed with. having jak suddenly talk just felt weird. and to give the players a smack in the face they made it as if daxter knew already that he could talk right at the beginning of jak II!

[@Benjamillion]

they had humor, thanks to daxter

+twilaight It is, look at the blaster. It's yellow and red! 0:53 - the gun. And at 0:56, look at the HUD!

[@SWellusionist]

They did try to come up with ideas on jak 4 but they were struggling

[@lulu1night4ever]

I think that happened because Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy was too similar to the Crash Bandicoot series. Even the character himself (Jak) was similar to Crash as they both didn't have a voice. I think Naughty Dog wanted the Jak and Daxter series to have its own personality. However, I do hope that one day there will be a game where Jak goes back to Samo's hut to stop Gol and Maia or something.

[@theworldsayshello1211]

Where the jak and Dex 4 man that been amazing the combat racing was bad ass but be cool to actually seen what happens after jak x

[@theunkownuser570]

I do agree Blackwiddow10

[@Benjamillion]

oh come on, i'm sure you can think of a few. like right in the beginning of jak II when errol just comes out of nowhere and has a crimson guard knock out jak. no explanation whatsoever on the connection to him. and another thing, if the precursors were a mystery of the past then why were they found in the FUTURE? the same goes with samos' younger self being there

[@kiisseli1337]

I just platinumed 1st and 2nd game, Precursor Legacy was still amazing, albeit short. Second game was clearly not as good gaming experience. Some bugs and very annoying missions. It wasn't too hard for me, but there are sections where you might get stuck because you don't get your ammo back when you die. In some missions you can't get any health packs. In some missions where you have to co-op with AI they can fail and that's the end of it. No checkpoints. Sometimes when I saved with full dark eco, I lost all of it after reloading? In the part where metal heads invade the city, there's a strange huge shadow (bug) following you, hitting you, and you can only run. In the next mission after that, every time you die you go to the race track for some weird reason. Took me 18 hours to complete, first game dunno, no time count, maybe 10+? I would give the first game 9/10 and second 7/10. Jak 3 will be my next game.

[@kiisseli1337]

Also sometimes it clearly showed that it's saving but it didn't and I had to redo whole previous mission. I missed the platforming from Jak 1. Yeah there was some of it, but it didn't have the same feel with guns and stuff.

[@yes9086]

Jak 3 is better than jak 2 and a really good game

[@TheExecutorr]

yeah, you lose your dark eco when you used dark Jak and die, so what? I never even used it, it's not necessary. I mean, it's fun and powerful, but it takes too long to summon the dark eco. And the only part of the game where you really messed up when you die after shooting your ammo empty is the final fight against the Metall Head Leader. And, in case you haven't noticed, you can just collect ammo, die, collect ammo and die a few times, and your ammo is full again since you also keep any ammo you collected before your death.

[@DeePrime2410]

Epic game

[@PS3SuperXSayian360]

well if you had played Assasins Creed, it goes from AC1-2 then branches off to brotherhood, Revelations then eventually AC3, I figured its the samething here, so you're technically right jak x is an sequel but Jak 4 is STILL not have been claimed and jak and daxter lost frontier is made from another company and not naughtdog ( uncharted ) with that said, people or atleast fans can agree their is no jak 4 so they can still be made, but NG decided not to reboot/or make jak4 but instead last of us

[@TheMusicalGameroriginal]

Actually you are correct, jak x is the official jak 4 and jak and daxter the last frontier is jak 5 because they all fall in that chronological order. Just because it doesn't say jak 4 on the cover doesn't mean it isn't jak 4, it's still jak 4....

[@DerAlmighty]

or it could just be that Erol is dangerous. Remember Cyber Errol?

No I just think the only jokes you seem to "get" are the ones that are obviously an "in your face" type of simple joke, which is why you would come to the conclusion that dax is the only funny one. cause several characters had brought so many laughing tears that MOST ppl would get, except you. & the whole dark/serious thing is true but what makes jak2-3 better is that its "balanced" with humor/ depth plot/ growth which jak1 is missing 2 /3 of. SO jak1 lacks SOME humor with MORE adventure. peace
