The Making of Jak & Daxter

[@zeromoga]

Jak and Daxter is, was, and will remain one of my favorite videogame series. I would love to see more, but considering what we got, I'm glad.

[@soulsemblance3163]

refering to jack x and the lost frontier? what they did to crash was way worse

[@LegeFles]

Soul jak x is a good game though.

[@iProCombo]

To have another Jak and Daxter game by Naughty dog would honestly be a dream come true

[@darkjakultimate6605]

I will sell My PC if Jak 4 comes out (Even though I Don't have a PC)

[@celtickitc]

Playing it today.... gotta find more precursor orbs 😊

[@arvinsloane6715]

The look on their faces, their passion, even years after ... it's breathtaking and motivating!

Thank you opengoal for giving me the opportunity to replay my childhood series on the steam deck flawlessly

[@Sneaky_racoon_sly]

It dont want to crate a shortcut. What can i do?

[@EVILBUNNY28]

Seieng what had to be cut from Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy kinda made me a little sad. A whole hub with Yellow Sage's hut and 3 levels got cut, and another level got cut from Volcanic Crater. The first game in the series is probably my most favourite game ever, and to think about what could've been if it wasn't for deadlines and the fact the game needed to be published.

[@YomainmanCJPSNisbob_addme]

I STILL go back to PS3 just to play those three games again I miss the platforming era i had em all

[@realitynowassigned]

The ps3 wasn't the platforming era.

[@deziboy5150]

Jak and Daxter will always be my favorite game. Hands down.

[@apictureoffunction]

Kind of a funny detail at the beginning. Andy (the programmer) says "It looks the same" Jason (the artist) says "No, it looks much better" I just thought that was a neat observation. Props to Jason and Andy for founding one of the best game development studios of all time!

[@drain8711]

Please... Please... bring them back

[@Dashx64]

6:50 wow the way Jason Rubin looks at Jak and Daxter 1, powerful stuff. Would love a super in depth look at the making of Jak 1, to me its the best outta the series. its stands at a special place, a swan song of the collectathon and platformer era. Helluva way to show the genre couldnt die, it continues to be a timeless masterpiece.

[@lulu1night4ever]

Man, this trilogy was great. I had a great feeling playing it, imagine how the creators felt seeing their awesome game in hd.

[@MardeYT]

I really love the Jak and Daxter games. I have so many memory of playing these games with a friend and to this day I come every once in a while back to those and play them with joy. Thank you Noughty Dog for creating these great games and memories.

[@ko7302]

Me too. I absolutely miss games made like this.

[@RiftgamersCoUkII3PICP3T3]

Jak and Daxter was the first ever game I remember playing when I was a child. I got the first one for Christmas along with a ps2 and will always consider it to be the best game ever. It also made me become the games programmer I am today :)

[@KevinJamesVideo]

We need more docs like this about vintage gaming and restoration. I loved this piece.

What has happened to our generation? I love all the cinematic experiences from this generation. But, why can't we get any more innovative, colorful, fun platforming titles like this?

[@JIbarra564]

@Mr. Anonymous Man, I typed up this comment a whole other lifetime ago. lol There are tons of innovative, colorful and fun platforming titles now. The indie scene has a ton of this. And even outside of that, 2020 had some great stuff. Sackboy A Big Adventure, Crash Bandicoot 4, Astro’s Playroom. Those are 3 big ones already. We’re in a good era right now.

[@flabscary4223]

@@JIbarra564 I agree, but I'd still love to see jak come back too. And even sly cooper would be great to see return

@Frogger lol, I was 14 when I commented this. I agree. This was stupid as hell.

Jak and Dexter is one of those games that will never like have again... don't get me wrong we get ratchet and clank but they suck *HASTAG* scene

[@mikethelegendarygamer4581]

This is back then that gaming was gaming. And it was simple. I loved Jak and Daxter! I now play this on the PCSX2 to keep my childhood alive!

[@mastercesar1312]

2020 and still amazing reboot pls this game made my childhood I don't have words to explain

[@MyNameIsAhj]

these were my favorite games on ps2. I really hope they return at some point

[@andygarcia5270]

This was fantastic. The entire time watching I couldn't help but feel giddy, maybe the inner kid me that loved tf outta these games, but also a bit nostalgic and sad. These games really did shape me as a person, or maybe they just made me really happy as a kid, thank you.

[@360PATCH]

you guys made my childhood and I love you. Thank you so much

[@ninja_-jt7rj]

This game was my childhood, these guys are legends.

[@UltimaKeyMaster]

They've basically always BEEN Sony's Rare, since they were with them from the get-go with Crash. Turns out that Sucker Punch and Insomniac doubled and tripled down on that title combined with ND, essentially creating a trilogy of trilogies on the PS2.

[@Punkrockfan001]

thankyou sony and naughty dog for this HD collection

[@MrProfDrPepper]

I love you so much for making this game, it was the best game to me and it still is today

[@MythicSuns]

it's pretty amazing seeing the 2 minds behind jak and daxter playing the game

[@DECAYED-]

What a nostalgic great game brings me back to my early childhood just played it and beat it

[@XxHazelstripexX]

oh the memories. this is my all time favorite game. i even still replay the games every so often. thank you for creating a major part of my childhood too.

[@bluaceful]

Cant wait to play it again. Such an amazing game, its a shame you don't see many games like that any more.

[@_IsseiHyoudou_]

[@jacobrichards2256]

I remember when I played jak,jak2,jak3 on my ps2 they were some of the best games ever made so thank you naughty dog it made my childhood

[@ThatGuy3141]

I miss my childhood. Loved the Jak & Daxter series from the beginning.

[@danyfighter562]

Jak and daxter had a lot of popularity and its very obvious that the series has a lot of potential left the in the story

[@papaduck6881]

On my sixth birthday I got Jak 3 and it was AMAZING so I went back and played the rest of the Jak and Daxter games and it was so much fun and now want Jak and Daxter 4 so badly. with the PS4 Naughty Dog can make Jak and Daxter 4 amazingly awesome.

[@xxXSWINNYXxx]

BIG!! part of my childhood, can't wait to play them... again, thank you naughty dog, please make another.

[@DanSutherland]

Crazy thing is, if things get really well recorded and really big fanbases, fans will finish the things devs wish they could have or add their own vision into games with mods. Hasn't happened with the PS2 era much yet. But some of N64 stuff out there is wild. Hope to see fans fix Kor's face in the PS3 HD Collection someday.

[@WithBoldEyes]

Thank you for uploading this !!! Hopefully they realize that they NEED to make another Jak game ! I miss this so much.. :c I was playing Jak and Daxter before I could even READ. I'm 14 now, and I'm writing fanfictions, making drawings, and constantly playing the games. please NaughtyDog ! At least bring back this part of my childhood !

[@muzicfest]

im just sitting here in 2024; haven just got my ps2 back up and working through and avi to hdmi modulator and realising jak was remastered.... mad i never learned but stoked i can still play it the original way

[@ryanjacques3070]

i love the jak and daxter series. every once in a while i will go back to the ps2 and play it all over again from start to finish

Just had a dream with imagery from these games. The precursor ruins and the warp holes and metal heads were in it. And I haven’t played the Jak series in years!

[@josephconrad402]

just beat the hd trilogy a second time these are my favorite games of all time they never get old

[@Mr.HotDogShirtGuy]

The Jak & Daxter trilogy is my favorite video game trilogy of all time.

[@PenumbralBehemoth]

i actually had a similar idea a while back, but eventually dropped it when i realized it was kinda similar to the new sly. but basically, its current day in the jak universe, only things start changing. people forget important things, say stuff that never happened. jak has to find out why, and he discovers that gol and maya had changed the past, undoing everything he did. so you'd basically have to travel back in time, get to see young jak, and stop gol and maya. :) the perfect revisit.

[@undertakerryu]

Im 14 I got this the week it came out, I played this since I was 5 and lived the game. I loved the flow of the world and how you could do what ever, I have COD games but I still don't get the same satismaction as I do in jak, the closest is infamous with the free roaming and side missions, pleas we need another, I'm goin through school to be able to do this also, this is the reason I will do that career

Dear naughty dog, Thank you for inspiring me to write a hero story that had a character arc that people could see. Jak 1 Being a young boy to Jak 3 being a noble hero who knew what the cost was if he failed. I would love to see Jak 4 but I can't you should. Keep it as a trilogy . I love it the way it is and still love the games you make. Sincerely coop

Jak and Daxter collection is the only game I would play over and over again. I hope they make Jak and Daxter 4 for PS3.

[@altdoom]

So many memories

[@MeeisAlex]

I think they should make a new one where Gol and Maia come and attack spargus at the beginning of the new game, then they escape to haven city where it's been abandoned, and you escape to samos's hut (seen in jak 2) where they find some way to go back in time to to sandover village where young jak from jak 2 is already the same as from jak 1 and they go back to spargus to defeat them together, That sounds freaking amazing to me.

[@DeePrime2410]

Jak and Daxter is my favorite game!

[@rowiian]

I believe I was just bitch-slapped... BY NOSTALGIA

[@adrianshephard7502]

Anyone noticed that at 05:38 he said "a bird stole it as opposed to just go do it", now "a bird stole it", in sly cooper and the thievius raccoonus clokwork, a bird, stole the thievius raccoonus, a book, i mean it surely must be a coincidence but it's funny that the sly cooper franchise was one of jak's "rivals"(selling games) the other being ratchet and clank

Yeah lol

Bring us Jak 4!! We want spaceships, buggies, hoverbikes and awesome vehicles, missions and graphics and we want a Great storyline. Amazing 3.D world's and customizable content, Also give us two worlds to go back and fourth to like Jak 3:) WE LOVE JAK & DAXTER!!!

[@majinvegeta1254]

Im in the midst of creating a storyline for JAK4.New powers,new allies,new crazy powerful enemies.insane action and most importantly new havoc reeking toys. And i will not rest until its complete. If naughty dog isnt making a new Jak then someone has to and I will send it in to

[@Bearnoats]

I want to work for naughty dog. The jak series has to be the most epic video game I've played.

[@mjose8091]

Ok continue the series with the new system later on so people of this generation will experience the amazing series and act like its brand new to them

[@mspeed101]

THE BEST Game Franchise EVER! Naughty Dog you said it yourself, people today are still loving these games and this was your best creation and as great as uncharted and the last of us is, there is no changing that! I understand that you want to create more realistic games, but realistic isn't always better, isn't the fun in video games doing something that cant truely be done in the real world turning into dark and light jak talking ottsels, the Jak series deserves to be continued like ratchet is

[@kimcruel]

i love jak and daxter. i still play it on my ps2. and the whole trilogy is flawless!

[@panchoiturriaga5468]

I played today, thanks for making my favorite game!

[@Axel-is2sp]

The lost frontier wasnt great but it wasn't complete garbage either. Jak X was a different game but it was still very good as it still had the core cast. The lost frontier's mistake was leaving everything behind that was familiar to the player. Jak 2 and 3 expanded on what was already in Jak. In fact playing through the games again there's a lot of references to stuff, places and people that are in future games which I think is really cool. For example the Oracle statues from the first game always reference Jak becoming Mar and how he will eventually be tainted by Dark Eco. You can continue to make sequels to a game, but it needs to make sense in the context of the universe. I really hope we get a sequel/reboot of this wonderful series.

[@DennisDT04]

They said, a long time ago before your comment, that it would be unlikely that they'd make a Jak 4, even though they were in the process of making it. They felt like that the fans wouldn't get what they wanted from them.

[@CrystalAce2]

Please make another Jak and Daxter game! I love this series! A way to think about it, is don't focus on the violence of today, do what people used to love, but incorporate new ideas into it from Uncharted and The Last of Us! :)

[@WhoNeeds-a-Handel]

For the most part, you are right, nut they never said that making a jak game on ps3 would be a disservice; they worked on ideas on a new jak game and got in depth with it, but then they would look at what they had come up with, and said, "This isn't Jak and Daxter"....and they couldn't come up with a "propery" storyline for the game, so they thought if they had continued on those ideas, and made a game out of it, that that game would be terrible, and they would have done a disservice to the fans
