Title: Jak Trilogy coming to ps3

Here's hoping they let you WARP in Jak 2 and it will be a perfect game.

Wait so just one good game? Most useless collection ever.

There's a good one?

Splinter Cell Collection has been out... no need for an inferior series

Post by: cool breeze on November 10, 2011, 10:52:47 AM: so this is just a trilogy?

Jak and the Lost Frontier is baaad but I'd want Daxter in HD. I never played Jak X because there's that too.

Post by: Himu on November 10, 2011, 12:19:06 PM: Jak 1 is pretty overrated. It only gets good until like the last quarter of the game.

Weak trolling, no one cares about splinter cell.

Post by: magus on November 10, 2011, 12:33:15 PM: the original jak is a nice if somewhat bland and short platformer

it's jak 2 that is awful with it's sudden gain of "TUDE" and racing segment and guns and shit that shouldn't be there in the first place

JAK 2

Post by: brob on November 10, 2011, 03:51:41 PM: Didn't play enough of jak 2 to remember it properly, but I do remember not liking it very much. Jak 1 was one of my favorites at the time. outside of Crash Team Racing it's my favorite thing Naughty Dog has done. Love the look of the world and the various areas and characters, the controls give you great mobility and I thought the platforming was really fun. The only thing I didn't like was the swamp area because I always ended up getting lost since the game doesn't have a map system.

But I have a soft spot for plain early 3D platformers, ala vexx :-[

Post by: Bebpo on November 10, 2011, 04:41:32 PM: Jak 1 is great
Jak 2 is greatest

I own but still haven't gotten to Jak 3

I'm all over this collection.

Jak 2 has some of the most challenging AWESOME platforming out there combined with excellent action. The city hub is annoying, but everything else is fantastic.

don't know if we've had an HD collection yet that had more than one good game in it

yeah, about that, I'd like to apologize for pimping ICO all these years, boy howdy

vacuous level design meets non-existent combat for a game-long escort quest ... what was artfag me thinking

SotC still rules, tho

Replaying both games:
Ico > SoTC

Ico holds up better because platform adventure holds up a lot more than a mid 2000-era action game. The level design is still as amazing today.

Nope. Majority of the "rooms" you don't even explore. It's white space. Same with SOTC. What does having a giant empty field accomplish? Nothing. It's a chore.

ya. It's essentially a ps1 game in terms of gameplay. 2 and 3 are good though.
Title: Re: Jak Trilogy coming to ps3
Post by: Howard Alan Treesong on November 10, 2011, 08:23:40 PM: SotC has problems (pacing, emptiness of the field) but the core boss fights still hold up completely. ICO, on the other hand, has been completely superseded by every platforming game that followed improving on its mechanics, combat, and level design. yes the castle was amazing in 2001 but it's 2011 now and Fumito Ueda didn't invent "A and B actually connect," just parlayed it into a 3 2 game career.
Title: Re: Jak Trilogy coming to ps3
Post by: cool breeze on November 10, 2011, 08:44:59 PM: that's surprisingly accurate

but I still like Ico. It was really the turning point when 'realistic' platformers became fun for me. Didn't like Tomb Raider on PS1, but the PoP and TR series post-Legend are amazing.
