The Making of Jak II™: Renegade - Restored Behind the Scenes - Remastered and Upscaled (4K Extended)

This video shows the behind the scenes making of Jak II: Renegade with Naughty Dog. Naughty Dog developers Evan Wells, Jason Rubin, Andy Gavin as well as writers, programmers and artists share how the development of Jak II came together in terms of Plot, Characters, Art Design, Animation and World Building.
This video is a mix of 2 videos, denoised, color corrected, upscaled. Coming from DVD source. I have restored and upscaled to 4K as well as re-recorded the gameplay as accurate as possible so that the quality would be the same. The cutscenes were all synced frame-by-frame with the original visuals and remastered audio from 720p (PS3 Trilogy) and 1080p (PS4) which were then upscaled to 4K to give the viewer the best viewing experience.
Like the Trilogy movie, recreating this from scratch was a lot of work and I hope that all the fans appreciate the dedication and time I've put into this.
This project is FANMADE and is NOT affiliated with Sony, Naughty Dog or Mass Media. I do not own Jak and Daxter.

Jak 2 is one of the best games of all time and i think Jason Rubin and Andy Gavin don't get enough credit for what they actually accomplished.. turning a colourful 3d platformer into a dark greedy shooting action racing and mission based platformer,and still worked ..

[@DaxterMaster]

Agreed! 💯 This is why Jak II remains a favorite of mine!

[@Hardrive2677]

It was my favorite game as a kid

[@wizard932]

Yup. Just imagine jak 2 with jak 3’s guns 😍

[@chrisstucker1813]

Absolutely. On a technical level this game is absolutely outstanding. It’s amazing just how much they managed to pull off. It has aged like a fine wine!

[@Aussie50InspiredDavidZ]

Imagine being 6 years old playing Jak and Daxter 1. And, then not bring able to play Jak 2 when it comes out, because you aren't old enough: since it's only been 2 years from the first release.

[@DaxterMaster]

I was actually 4 when Jak 1 came out and 6 when Jak II came out and I played it when I was 6. Great times!

[@KDubb-ws9zc]

@@DaxterMasterI got my PS2 for my 7th birthday in 2002. That Christmas sitting under the tree were four additional s game to go with it and Precursor legacy was one of those games. I never got very far on my own but my dad was a big gamer and I remember going over his house and him and my brother being so much farther in the game. I remember the lava bike level, snow level, the ocean temple level playing those levels through them as a kid. Jak 2 had a lot of my hype and my dad got it when it first came out around release. I remember playing it at his house and being off putting to me due to the darker tone and how radically different the shooting, driving, and atmosphere was to the bright and happy precursor legacy game I knew. Years later I want to give it a fair try now

[@Hardrive2677]

Damn this game was badass I wish I was 5 again my ps2 doesn’t work anymore

[@DaxterMaster]

You can still play it on PS3/PS4/PS5 :)

[@Hardrive2677]

@@DaxterMaster does it run well on a ps4? I heard there were some glitches. I’d rather just get a box TV and play it on a ps2 if that’s the case

[@DaxterMaster]

@@Hardrive2677 There are some graphical glitches and framerate drops at certain parts. It plays much smoother on the ps5, but the graphical glitches are still there

There's an unofficial PC port for Jak 1 and 2 that are even better than the PS3 version. They're also working on Jak 3 now​@@Maximusg400

[@ryancho6989]

after learning that THE yasuhara who contributed to a lot of sonic games i enjoy, it makes me love this game more than i already do

[@justcory4022]

God can anyone say remake?? That would be amazing, but really I wanna see a series reboot, hopefully some day 😢

[@ChristianFrates1997]

I consider the sequels better than the first because it definitely stands out compared to Ratchet and Clank and Sly Cooper.

[@eucloismeta3723]

we need 4, period.

[@darkjakultimate6605]

Umm... Cool

[@darkjak7136]

Jak and Daxter is a little kids game

[@Dashx64]

aka how to kill a game's identity lol, my god what a polarizing, weird wonderful fun and frustrating sequel. A gta trend surfing mess, along with a major sonic adventure dev hire, led to this bizarre follow up to a masterpiece. Instead they went for the gta money, attempting to market it to teens/adults who couldnt or werent allowed to get GTA. an impossible task. It earned 70s across the board for a reason. Polarizing gameplay loop of timed fetchquests and bizarre missions, it only got worse with 3. There is no franchise identity. Shouldve made another collectathon, hell even with Yasuhara when he came back to Sonic, he made Unleashed. Essentially a bad Jak and Daxter game in disguise. oyyyy The first game stands alone, a swan song for the platforming genre. Before GTA killed the industry, the FIRST TIME.

[@DeathByMercy]

What are you talking about? It not only holds its identity, it was/is a pioneer for so many things to come. Jak II held all the fundamental elements of Jak and Daxter while being something new. I'm blown away to hear you didn't like it, as it was not only popular among fans but it brought in a whole new segment of people who otherwise did not care for the series.

[@KDubb-ws9zc]

@@DeathByMercyI didn’t like it as a kid. A lot of that was the tone just being very off putting me as I was used to precursor legacy. I liked the guns but hated the vehicles
