I always remember being so confused when I saw the Tak cartoon, since I just remembered Tak as that obscure platformer series from the previous generation. Then they started slapping his face on everything and really tried to sell him as the next Spongebob or Fairly Odd Parents

[@GamerSlyRatchet1]

The story behind the making of the show is more interesting than the show itself. Besides it being Nick's first in-house CG series, it also went through a lot of showrunners. They eventually promoted the story editor to showrunner just to finish it, and he mentioned it was probably the roughest production he worked on. Afterwards, he moved on to Warner Bros. to work on Scooby Doo: Mystery Incorporated.

[@Gamingwithahandicap]

I wish the show never was a thing because it killed Tak’s incredible video game legacy!

[@GamerSlyRatchet1]

@@Gamingwithahandicap I don't think the show helped, but I think it was always doomed after Avalanche got bought off and Nick was losing interest anyway.

[@Gamingwithahandicap]

@@GamerSlyRatchet1 Avalanche wanted to make a Tak 4 but they no longer could because of how they got bought out, now since THQNordic mentioned a remake fans have to step up to make it happen! Tak was the most successful Nickelodeon game ever and I think the original Tak Trilogy deserves a remake and they have there place, I personally think there best 3D platformers that’s not like Mario Sonic or Crash and I think they have more heart then something like sly Cooper or ratchet, but again that’s more of my opinion. I think if Tak was the exact same game but just made by Naughty Dog for example people would praise Tak! But Tak was never a Nickelodeon project they just unfortunately funded Avalanche and it was Nickelodeon who ruined Tak’s incredible legacy because of the tv show the original trilogy does not connect with the show what so ever

[@JsReviews]

I will never forgive this series, since I got in trouble for saying it took place in the "Pupanunu Tribe" back in Kindergarten. Same year I lost points for spelling "Jak" wrong. In all seriousness, great video! Used to play the trilogy a lot when they were new. Haven't played them in forever, but this was a good history lesson on it. It also makes me glad I never played Tak 4, which I was somewhat interested in playing before it came out, I just never did.

Right out of nowhere there were games, toys, and of course, a cartoon. The franchise was almost inescapable for a short period of time. Even if you didn't watch the show or play the video games, you at least heard about it. And then one day the franchise completely vanished and nobody ever talked about it again."*

You had to fly to the right and go around a bend and inside was a detailed painting of a monkey, nothing else and the only way out was the water where jellyfish kill you. It was so strange and kind of crept me out, even today I have no idea why it was there. I imagine the game is hiding even more caves similar to this just I never found them.

[@tipulsar85]

Out of the four games up to and including the release of Tak 4 made by Blitz, Frogger 2: Swampy's Revenge still holds up as a fun expansion on the gameplay of the 1997 remake of Frogger. The sad part was it came out three years after the boom of early arcade remakes for the 5th gen console just in time to be out on the PS1 and Dreamcast when it came to consoles.

Tak mojo mistake is actually is pretty solid & more aligned with the tak trilogy than guardians of gross, even flora( a character from the trilogy) makes an appearance. It's not a must play, but I recommend you try it out if you have the time.

[@FilmmakerJ]

From the time I was a kid until the last time I played it about 12 years ago, I always found the first Tak game to be an aesthetically pleasing, sonically original, zen-like experience that can sometimes become obtuse (primarily the tree village). It definitely lays it all out for you tutorial wise, but when I was very young, that just felt normal. It certainly does more than it needs to, because Ratchet and Clank almost has no tutorial moments, just a handful of notifications when necessary. I definitely like Jak & Daxter more, but Tak shares a lot of commonalities with the first Jak game that I equally appreciated. Just that right amount of mystery to the lore and world that keeps me mentally engaged beyond the gameplay and plot.

Tak 1-3 is GOATED That’s why fans want a remake! THQNordic needs #bringTakback

[@steveharper2463]

Okay seriously Tak getting the remake/remaster treatment would be a perfect idea “Tak: The Juju collection” • All 3 games included • as many of the original voices as possible • many bells and whistles, new or cut content Just sayin it would be great

[@Gamingwithahandicap]

Fans have been trying really hard to get the attention of THQNordic so that exact thing can happen because THQNordic promised fans in 2018! The community has been using the hashtag #BringTakback to get the word around! Because the original Tak trilogy is an underrated masterpiece and plenty of fans want the great and mighty warrior to return! Even Tak’s original voice actor Jason Marsden wants to reprise his iconic role! :)

[@HotelMari0Maker]

Saved to my favorites. Thank you for making such an in-depth look at this series. My brother and I grew up playing Tak 2 & 3 and yet I didnt even know they made a fourth game.

[@Gamingwithahandicap]

The fourth one is not Tak 4 it’s based off of the tv show and the show is a completely different universe and lore and even voice actors! I hope THQNordic remakes Tak 1-3 because the trilogy is GOATED especially Tak 2 the Staff of Dreams!

[@cycross3969]

Hey, we're the same age! Very cool. I rented one of the Tak games as a kid and definitely have fond memories of the experience, this was an interesting watch as your videos always are. Keep up the great work!

[@TheCrazyEven]

The Great Juju Challenge was one of my favorite games to play through with my brother and we actually got super close to completing it after so long of it seeming so unbeatable (we didn't know we had to use the bees to distract the crocodiles for a looooong time). And even then, that last demolition derby match was so bullshit we just quit. Sad that the last game didn't seem particularly good either cause I was always interested in it, too.

[@giraffeman326]

Tak 3 was a childhood classic for me. I played countless hours of it with my brother. The co-op inclusion was a great idea.

[@Wolfkaosaun]

Watching you play this was an experience

[@bboy_33]

1:04:55 to the end, has to be my favorite point. In my opinion, I believe that if you love something, set it free. … While I would definitely be happy to see Tak given the “ReHyrdated” treatment, I can agree that it may be difficult to recapture that same vision of the series, 20+ years ago. … I felt the same way playing Sly 4. It’s a good game but I personally didn’t feel like it recaptured enough of the “original essence” of the trilogy. Even some fans of Crash Bandicoot series were unsatisfied with the high difficulty of completing Crash 4. … As for Tak, while I still think it’s possible for a remake or reboot, it might be best to let the series remain as a good memory of our childhoods.

[@Morgorath30]

Yeah it's hard to really put into words what these remastered games are missing. It's like they somehow miss their original charm. Though I'd say the SpongeBob game did a great job, I still had a blast playing it. Sly 4 was also still fun, but definitely nowhere near the originals, specifically sly 2 and 3. But it wasn't the sly game we had expected after like 8 years or so. Like I need a new jak game, but I also know it will never be as good as the original 3. Crash 4 can lick my left and right nut though. Fuck that game.

[@TerrorOfTalos]

Outside of the generally polished game feel and the solid A to B platforming level design utilizing quantum masks the rest of crash 4 ranges from meh/questionable/nothingburger to downright poor. You know it's bad when PS1 games (particularly warped) does a better job in how it presents its content while rewarding the player without having them go through so much bs *just* for an ending cutscene.

[@Morgorath30]

@@TerrorOfTalos honestly I think one of crash 4's biggest issue was how long the levels were. It shouldnt take +20 minutes to get through a level. Then to top off the long levels, the difficulty was so much harder than the other games. So for some of the levels it felt like it would just fucking drag on. The graphics are visually pleasing, but way too busy for a platformer. Half of the time i wouldnt even be able to see what had killed me. I ended up stopping my playthrough about 3/4 of the way through because I just got bored and frustrated.

[@TerrorOfTalos]

@@Morgorath30 Yeah I agree, I'd say just going through the levels was a decent enough experience and the quantum masks introduced to spice up the platforming were overall solid but holy shit I can't even imagine actually wanting to go out of my way to fully complete most of those levels, *especially* those snack city ones like wtf. I thought difficulty in terms of obstacles/hazard placement were competent (with a few exceptions) alongside the enemies but you notice that to "solve" the depth perception issue they had to use that floating yellow circle; which is on by default? I swear without it the game would be damn near unplayable in many areas (people complaining about that aspect before release now must be really glad it's in the game). TfB must've known this too (most likely from play testers) as the 2D/side angle view sections take at least half of the games overall level design (if not more), the older crash games had their share of 2D sections too yes but in IAT I noticed it more often, definitely due in part to the level length no doubt.

[@walter4180]

I think as a base game I honestly prefer crash 4 to the likes of crash 1 in particular Genuinely believe the only thing I'd consider bad in crash 4 in particular would be the painful grind for 100% completion and it's base game length They knocked it out the park with level design, how fun it is, the movement, the characters and the power ups but the frankly unnecessary post game bloat is just ridiculous so Warped is still my favourite. The amount of stuff you have to do post game isn't bad in itself since you're replaying already good levels with extra twists but there's way too many variations that doesn't warrant the effort. Hope if they make a new crash game they learn from that.

[@SHARDK2]

Tak 1 and 2 have no business being as good as they are. I'll still boot it up on my PS2 and start a brand new game, and I find it super hard to get bored of them. The art design is just gorgeous to look at and holy shit the music. No idea how they made music this good for both of the games. Absolute classics from my childhood and I love them both.

[@Gamingwithahandicap]

[@zacdickerson1397]

While I enjoyed playing Tak and the Power of Juju when it first came out, my most fond memory of the game was when my dad said, in his best video game commercial voice, "TAK, AND THE POWER OF POOPOO". Other than that I remember very little about the game itself.

[@VexAcer]

I remember me and my brother had a used copy of Tak 2 but inside the case was actually just the disc for the first game. I remember liking it but it's also been forever since I ever played it. While the series def had its issues but they do still have pretty good production value and quality. Avalanche clearly had a lot of talent, they would end up making the Toy Story 3 game later which was legitimately good and really polished.

[@Gamingwithahandicap]

The Tak Trilogy is incredible they really are amazing and it makes sense why so many fans want Tak’s return! You should play the rest of the Avalanche Software trilogy absolutely incredible! :)

Funny part about the loud audio in 48:40. The original Spyro 3 has the same type of audio in the level "Enchanted Towers" where these enemies bash down with big hammers and it is ALSO loud af, if not louder lol.

[@Wandergirl108]

That whole introduction honestly just made me sad. Ty and Klonoa are fantastic games, and honestly, I LOVE collectathon platformers and was really sad when they started dying, even at the time. It's not a matter of growing up, I know what I enjoy, and what I enjoy is being dropped in an interesting world, given some unique traversal mechanics, being told there's stuff to find, and basically being left to my own devices, I'm fine with a loose, fun, cartoony story to keep me going. Any game where I play as a human has to bend over backwards to get my attention, killing a bunch of other humans as a common objective is something I will not touch, and if jumping isn't a mechanic, it's a really hard sell for me. I've always felt this way, and I always will. I enjoyed the first Tak game, and while I'll admit it hasn't aged well, it's still a decent collectathon platformer. The second game just makes me angry, and I didn't know there was a third one. I thought this video was going to be about the cartoon, which was enjoyable but clearly had no idea where it was going; I'm not interested in hearing about the development of the games, the first one was good on its own and the second one makes me want to burn things, so I bowed out of here after the introduction, sorry.

[@Gamingwithahandicap]

Personally I think the Tak trilogy is better than the Ty trilogy, to me Tak has better gameplay stories music characters writing and voice acting and graphics. To me Tak will always be the GOAT 🐐 in underrated 3D platformers and I think Tak just aged far better.

Fun fact: the entirety of Tak 1 is all about "collect this" and everything in the game has a cheat code so you could technically speedrun the entire game by just putting in cheat codes right when the game starts.

[@Rugrats-91]

Great video man! I remember seeing Tak on old Nickelodeon DVDs, like a trailer for the first game on Rugrats Go Wild's DVD and the third game on the first Direct to Video Tales from the Crib movie. I remember in like 2017/18, I got interested in checking these games out, they're like the Ratchet & Clank of Nickelodeon to me where I got hooked on that series like the intergalactic duo in 2020. Except, where I fell off of Tak after a bit and occasionally reminiscing on the games (and especially after playing Guardians of Gross where it was meh to me) If Tak was to come back, I would definitely put him in the recent crossover games and give him a remake of the original games, not a remaster because those games need better polish. The TV show I barely remember watching as a 4 year old in 2007 and I didn't really like it. Hell, I didn't even like it when I attempted to watch it and barely got into an episode before I noped out of it. Tak was definitely ambitious and Nickelodeon had faith but by the TV show bombing hard, the faith quickly died outside of just trying to keep him around for a while longer. I remember he was much better in the Nicktoons games in terms of his TV show but even then, it wasn't enough to save him. Like I said, I do think Tak has a chance to come back and if THQ Nordic leaves SpongeBob alone for one second after Cosmic Shake and finally touches the 15 other Nick IPs they wanted to bring back, then maybe we could see Tak make a comeback over 13 years later.
