No, its shown near the end when Damas dies, he presents Jak the same sigil that Young Jak had in Jak 2. Damas told Jak he will know its Mar when he sees that same sigil Damas gave to Jak.
Waleed Ahmed it's possible but not confirmed that he is the mar who founded heaven city and built the canon used in jak 2 it is possible it could be him as time travel is already done in the series but he is the heir to the throne of heaven city and son of damas, mar not confirmed to be the mar of the past
Waleed Ahmed Damas is a descendant of Mar, the rightful ruler of Haven City before he was expelled. He named his son after Mar and gave him the family crest of Mar. Keep in mind Mar already existed, as Damas is his descendant. Plus the depictions of Mar in statues and art did not look like Jak at all, nor does Jak have the same demeanor or intellect. The Precursors knew Mar, and if Jak was THAT Mar, they would have said as such.
The fact that Jak somehow seems so okay with the fact that Daxter, his long time best friend and sidekick just unknowingly turned into a massive dark eco monster and also the fact that Jak and Daxter seemed so out-of-character (Daxter being a coward and Jak being so underpowered) is proof that this game is non-canon and nothing more than a fan-fiction.
@@cj131 I have played every game in the franchise. Daxter being cowardly is half his personality; First lurker attacks Jak and him, indirectly turning him into the weasel form. He hid behind Jak. Jak gets ready to fight Klaww, Daxter suggests he stay behind and protect Keira. By the way, he does this in all three main games. He even suggests to stay behind and protect Sig of all people! Runs away from giant spider. Gets terrified of Dark Jak. Basically, if he gets threatened, he turns into a massive wimp. You wanna know why he sticks around with Jak despite the danger? Because from Jak 2 onwards, Jak is a Dark Eco infused, gun totting, mass slayer of monsters and bad guys who is not afraid to defend Daxter who fight anyone. Jak literally would've fought nearly all of Haven City's people if he wanted to. If anything, Daxter is safest with Jak, because of this. So I don't know where this whole "Daxter being a coward" is out of character. If anything, he is less of a coward in this because he turns into Dark Daxter. If anything, THAT'S the out of character part of him!
@@thefiresworddragon927 For one point, what in the hell is Daxter going to do against a gigantic spider that clearly wants some Ottsel flesh BESIDES run? He had nothing to defend himself with except for being small and quick.
@@buttahXD Yeah, but at the same time, how many times has he talked up such big game, and then wussed out immediately? If I was to remove a finger or toe for every time Daxter has been a coward by just wussing out (not even all the times he's been a coward), I'd not get even to halfway before running out of toes and fingers. TL:DR, Daxter's main character was designed as a comic relief, wise cracking, shoulder sitting, cowardly sidekick who puts up with it all because he wants to be there for his pal Jak.
As a fan, I think I can tolerate more than most. I was OK with Jak's new design and voice. I was willing to bare through the bad design and storyline. I was even willing to suffer through the fact that this game really has no purpose in existing and has nothing to do with the other games. But the moment that they made Jak so out of character the he's actually happy that Daxter, his BEST friend in the entire world, keeps turning into a Dark Eco beast which will most likely KILL him over time, I was like that's it. This is a terrible fanfiction and I'm going to treat it as such. Can't wait for Naughty Dog to get their act together and make the real Jak and Daxter 4!
***** Hey, Uncharted is not a bad series, I played the Jak games a decade ago like most of you, but that doesn't mean you have to get butthurt about Uncharted lol. Besides, do you think they would be able to make a good Jak 4 in their current state? They have their finger's up their asses right now, and it might do more harm than good. They didn't even have the decency to explain why they didn't turn Daxter back into a human. Even if it is better than lost frontier, do you want it to end up ruined like the RAC series? We don't need trash like that right now. I'll keep an eye on Jak 4 news though.
***** Back in the day they were comparable, but Insomniac fell off after ACIT it seems. I was using them as an example because they apparently had a close relationship when the PS2 was being bombarded with platformers. Nowadays those games are almost nonexistent. Thinking about it now, I can see why a lot of people fiend for games like Dark Souls. Even so, UC3 was "Supposed" to end there and Drake was supposed to be retired with his wife. So this UC4 is 100% a Sony cash cow. I can see how fans of Jak claim it as a generic series, and I see it the same way, but it was generic from the get go and it was made like that on purpose. Its easier to make money off games like that.
3:14 Just a thought. Why is the Hellcat powered by green eco, the eco that is known for healing? Should it not be powered by blue eco? You know, the eco that powers all Precursor artifacts from Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy? They're basically running a ship on bandaids instead of batteries!
@@C-MOON-PZV So what are the requirements to unlock it? Because I can't imagine anyone playing this game for more than 5 minutes, even then the cutscenes aren't using the in game engine (that's how ugly the game is) so you wouldn't be seeing it much anyways.
Maria Luke I rewatched it and looked a little more closely. I can see that they're there, but the fact that I have to look for it is not a good thing. Heck, the fact I had to ask myself whether it was there or not when I first saw this is a huge red flag.
Raximus3000 i didn't care much for Jak's new voice/personality or the new artstyle, or dark Daxter, outside of those it wasn't the worst but could have been a lot better
Eric Hardeman I'm with Rax; it had some good ideas, but they were ill-used. That, and I think some of the designers from the previous games left for greener pastures.
I played and beat this game and whereas the environments were amazing and the gameplay was okay, the story was terrible. On the back of the box it said in Dutch ''A new story that perfectly fits wth the original.'' Biggest lie I've ever heard, honestly. The original three had a great storyline, and The Lost Frontier just shoved everything I loved about it back into my face. The new characters were boring and empty as fuck. I missed Torn, Ashelin, Samos, Pecker, Sig and all the others that made the series what it was. I think the Brink is a cool location, but the story could've been much better. Also funny how green eco was used to power a grenade launcher. Kinda like making explosives using medicine. lol
I remember the excitement I felt when I heard of a new Jak & Daxter game - and the disappointment that came when I played it. Despite being a hardcore fan because Jak & Daxter was the starting game for my nerdiness (heck - I even bought the PSP just for Daxter!) I couldn't bring myself to like this game. Everything but the intro is a catastrophe to me.
I am a real fan of the Jak and Daxter series. Literally got a Precursor tattoo on me. At first I didn't care for Jak X but it grew on me and Naughty Dog was at the helm so no regrets...When I heard about this...thing... and how it wasn't by Naughty Dog and how they did all this crap to it...I refused to support it and I still don't count it in the Jak and Daxter universe.
The concept of the story is actually good. If only naughty dog made it themselves. "There's no more ego left in the world" very good (although some could argue cliche) but it is also relevant to our own destroying of the environment.
mitchell Hasto I want to play it cause customisable planes. Also, Jak X was worse. It was a drift race game. NO ONE, I repeat, NO ONE, likes drift races! THEY! SUCK!
@@thefiresworddragon927 You want to play this game.. because of customizable planes. And Jak X is actually good for a racing spin off. At least it's in character for the franchise, Jak does race a lot.
The Firesword Dragon The planes were not that great, Jak X had a great story for a racer and amazing mechanics. Honestly it did better at being a racing game than most actual racing games
The control of jak is less fluid than in the original games, it takes some time to get used to his movements, especially when you know the original trilogy. On ps2 they could have made an effort for the graphics, at times it's really not beautiful. However, there are some good points: The aerial phases and the personalization of the ships, not so bad. The soundtrack of the game has nothing to do with the previous ones, (like the game in itself) but really nice and epic at times. The small town of Aeropa, well designed. The reference to Jak 2 and how it affects the story of the game. The High Impact Games vision on eco is interesting. The concept of the "Eco core" is not bad, and the way the dark eco was used for dark eco warriors. The fact that the story respects the original trilogy without adding events that could alter the vision of naughty dog on the saga. The lurker that is in Far Drop, "Barter", which makes me think a lot about Brutter (Jak 2). It's nice to see a lurker. Despite of this, this game remains for me, a simple spinn off, I liked it, but I don't have the same feeling as when I play the other games. Not the same quality, not the same level design, not the same concept with world in real time... Enjoyable, but it's a far drop (lol) from the original trilogy, Daxter, and Jak X. Playing on Psp rather than Ps2, 'cause the portage is a simple copy of The psp version.
Nibor Morfleur, excellent response. Thank goodness that you are not of those guys who pretend that this game doesn’t exist simply because they didn’t like some things in it
@@franciscomm7675 Yeah I know right ! A lot of people only tell "omg this is a shame ! this game does not exist !"... Well if you're not happy just leave and shut up man ! I mean, why so much hate ? The game is good, and I currently playing it once again on PPSSPP. 'Loved the pirates story, steampunk background, dogfights, music, cutscenes... Maybe it's not the same quality as previous Jak games, but it's still one of the greatest psp games, and I enjoyed it more than Daxter, even if Daxter is really more faithful to the original lore, I thought it was too repetitive. What I really loved about TLF were the aircrafts levels, so good ! Have a good day/night dude ;-)
So I'd like to write my top 13 reasons why the game who must not be named (The Lost frontier" sucks! So grab yourself some popcorn.. 1. No Light Jak or Dark Jak because of "unstable" eco, well the Auropeans can turn into Dark. AND WHY THE FUCK CAN DAXTER TURN INTO DARK DAXTER THEN? 2. The game doesn't continue the true story, at all. It's just messing it up. 3. Jak is the only one who can survive the Dark Eco process, because he is from the House of Mar, so it doesn't make any sence how the whole Auropean city became "Dark Eco Freaks" 4. They removed the holy Jet Board of holyness! 5. They removed the Morph Gun and replaced it with some kind of "stick" where you can attach gun mods on. The weapons is different and has worse range than in the previous games, the blaster mod shoots ridiculously slow. You can't even put the stick on your back! 6. They made a new weapon called "The Lobber" which is a HORRIBLE replacement to the Peace Maker. 7. Planes. Oh my god. Jak and Daxter doesn't have anything to do with Planes, sky battles, the environment when driving a plane, it's just like 4 mountains and the rest is endless water. 6. The cutscenes was boring, the animation felt cheap. 7. Jak and Daxter's personality, no aggression no anger. They used to make fun jokes, didn't they? 8. The gameplay were repetitive, go in there, shoot all enemies, go to your plane, fight a sky battle. It happens the whole game. 9. Probably the worst one right here: Dark Daxter. My god, it was awful. First off, the gameplay for Dark Daxter were boring as hell. Dark Daxter isn't even possible because Daxter is a precursor, and if a precursor is infected with Dark Eco, it becomes a Dark Maker. Seriously High Impact Games? Follow the story, goddamnit. 10. All the old characters is gone, it's the "world's end" that they call it. I'm pretty sure Ashelin, Torn, Sig, Samos and all the others are willing to go with them. 11. The story sucked. Eco Pirates vs Dark Eco Freaks? Why don't put ninjas in there? The story is living on a joke by the way, because of the unstable eco. So it should've been Eco Pirates vs Freaks. 12. Keira is ugly. 13. Josh Keaton get out, Mike Erwin get your ass into the studio.
Everything's wrong with this game. Good thing I got it at low price on a sellout. And it's a detail but it does much, the music is a total ripoff of Pirates of the Caribbean.
It's a decent jumping point for the fourth game but yeah number 9 is the one that killed it for me this was pretty much a filler game. Let's hope they don't muck it up.
+Ace. Inc if jak 4 comes out a good way to show this being non canon is to have it as an in universe video game, after saving the world and wining the kras city grand prix im sure jak has become famous enough to have in world video games
i watched a playthrough of this game and it looked fun, wish i had gotten it but i was too blinded by nostalgia back then to see that it wasn't made by naughty dog and was more of a tribute to the jak series than anything.
I do not care what fanboys say. I enjoyed this game very much and I am aware of the differences original J&D has. I think it does better stroytelling than any of the previous games. I love it. Hate me all you want.
I disagree. Jak and daxter: the precursor legacy and jak 2 have the best soundtrack In jak and daxter: the precursor legacy its all cool and innocent while in jak 2 its gotten all dark
the only thing that kept my interest was the lore concerning the jak and daxter world. I knew jak's "uncle" was an explorer and that meant there was unexplored areas of the world, but that was the past so there was more world known in the future. however they were not aware of the wastelander city so its possible not all of the world was explored or if it was, facts were omitted for secrecy. The edge of the world and the foggy depths below were interesting as well as getting to know how the precursor eco system worked and how far it ran. I also liked how there was subtle detail to jaks head that looks similar to the mar statue features.
Has anyone played Daxter on PSP as well? Jak X and Daxter were, IMO, both really good spin offs. This game got a lot of shit, I've never played myself but I love the story so watching this! :D
the story doesnt make any sense and daxter gets doused w dark eco so that makes him turn into some super beast but the first time he fell in it jak 1 he turned into a squirrel... what?
ECDT1089 that's how i feel. like, if Naughty Dog had made it in *their* image, then it most likely would have been great :D i think it was things like the crap camera controls, the loss of ND's signature moves (spin kick, crouch, etc.) Jak practically turning into a HALO character with each upgrade and a few other things, it wudda been nice
+ECDT1089 Yeah but it feels like a huge step down from the previous games really. The Dark Daxter thing and Pheonix were the only things I really liked about it, and even the former wasn't really explained all that well.
***** Same happened with Insomniac, they handed the rights of R&C to other companies. Though the voice actors have almost never changed, the character design went from an all-ages punk rebel Ratchet design to an un-intimidating weak looking child-Lombax. And Cpt. Quark went from his design that boasted 'conceited and smug', his body designed almost looked as if he had pillows stuffed underneath his suit to make him appear strong. The new design is just bland. As for the game's comedy, it went from crude to childish. I had to add my opinion on Ratchet and Clank, as it was also one of my favourite games.
I know im gonna be murderd for this but i played it like 24 times now on my psp(mostly during the long Trips in the family rv from germany to italy) and I enjoyed it every time.
Just imagine that Jak X had WAAAYY better graphics and an immensely better and continuing storyline for a game that was solely racing and battle royale competitions.
Trust me your not missing anything. This game is a piece of shit not even made by naughty dog and nothing to do with the original story. However you should play jak x combat racing or Daxter on the psp those are much better games.
game in a nut-shell: hey! we got this orb thing plot device pointing in to our next level. now, i'll give you a tenuous explanation of why you're going there LET'S GO
Jak, the all mighty savior of the world, descendant of Mar, and possible savior of the entire universe, is having some trouble dealing with pirates
pinkandgreen129 correction: He IS Mar. Its confirmed in Jak 3
No it's not. It's left ambiguous as to whether he _is_ Mar or just named after him.
No, its shown near the end when Damas dies, he presents Jak the same sigil
that Young Jak had in Jak 2. Damas told Jak he will know its Mar when he
sees that same sigil Damas gave to Jak.
Waleed Ahmed it's possible but not confirmed that he is the mar who founded heaven city and built the canon used in jak 2 it is possible it could be him as time travel is already done in the series but he is the heir to the throne of heaven city and son of damas, mar not confirmed to be the mar of the past
Waleed Ahmed Damas is a descendant of Mar, the rightful ruler of Haven City before he was expelled. He named his son after Mar and gave him the family crest of Mar.

17:04 the moment Jak remembered the better games he was in
Lmaooo
jajajaja nice!
If you play this game with the mindset as if it were a fanmade game that was noncanon, it's not that bad of a game
That is the only 2 good things i like, If this were fanmade, We would like it, but since its "offical" its sucks
@@shadowbroz1026
Daxter already stated that their current plot is futile. He just wanted to go back home.
Wasn't it technically so as it wasn't made by naughty dog
Same with Sly Cooper 4
Thanks for this
I HOPE THIS IS WAS JUST A NIGHTMARE THAT JAK HAD, AND HE WAKES TO START JAK 4
Lol. That's how they should start the new one. Haha.
let's pretend Lost Frontier is a Dream both Jak, and Daxter had. or maybe we'll leave this as NOT CANON!
The fact that Jak somehow seems so okay with the fact that Daxter, his long time best friend and sidekick just unknowingly turned into a massive dark eco monster and also the fact that Jak and Daxter seemed so out-of-character (Daxter being a coward and Jak being so underpowered) is proof that this game is non-canon and nothing more than a fan-fiction.

@@thefiresworddragon927 You want to play this game.. because of customizable planes. And Jak X is actually good for a racing spin off. At least it's in character for the franchise, Jak does race a lot.
The Firesword Dragon
The planes were not that great, Jak X had a great story for a racer and amazing mechanics. Honestly it did better at being a racing game than most actual racing games
This game would've worked MUCH better if it actually continued off the original story, they took a huge risk, and it failed
I remember having this game on my psp. I loved it.
Sounds like you did not play the first 3 boi.
@@shadowbroz1026 never have mate. Old times weren't for me
@@bonebreaker9103 :O this is not okie dokie
@bonebreaker9103 the older games are better.
The bottle hitting that man's face actually has a funny sound effect.
Every time I think of Keira, it makes me think of a Jak and Daxter version of Twilight Sparkle. Tara Strong never ceases to get my attention
The control of jak is less fluid than in the original games, it takes some time to get used to his movements, especially when you know the original trilogy. On ps2 they could have made an effort for the graphics, at times it's really not beautiful. However, there are some good points:
The aerial phases and the personalization of the ships, not so bad.
The soundtrack of the game has nothing to do with the previous ones, (like the game in itself) but really nice and epic at times.
The small town of Aeropa, well designed.
The reference to Jak 2 and how it affects the story of the game.
The High Impact Games vision on eco is interesting. The concept of the "Eco core" is not bad, and the way the dark eco was used for dark eco warriors.
The fact that the story respects the original trilogy without adding events that could alter the vision of naughty dog on the saga. The lurker that is in Far Drop, "Barter", which makes me think a lot about Brutter (Jak 2). It's nice to see a lurker.
Despite of this, this game remains for me, a simple spinn off, I liked it, but I don't have the same feeling as when I play the other games. Not the same quality, not the same level design, not the same concept with world in real time...
Enjoyable, but it's a far drop (lol) from the original trilogy, Daxter, and Jak X.
Playing on Psp rather than Ps2, 'cause the portage is a simple copy of The psp version.
Nibor Morfleur, excellent response. Thank goodness that you are not of those guys who pretend that this game doesn’t exist simply because they didn’t like some things in it
@@franciscomm7675 Yeah I know right ! A lot of people only tell "omg this is a shame ! this game does not exist !"... Well if you're not happy just leave and shut up man ! I mean, why so much hate ? The game is good, and I currently playing it once again on PPSSPP. 'Loved the pirates story, steampunk background, dogfights, music, cutscenes... Maybe it's not the same quality as previous Jak games, but it's still one of the greatest psp games, and I enjoyed it more than Daxter, even if Daxter is really more faithful to the original lore, I thought it was too repetitive. What I really loved about TLF were the aircrafts levels, so good ! Have a good day/night dude ;-)
7:58 The moment the Jak series jumped the shark.
So I'd like to write my top 13 reasons why the game who must not be named (The Lost frontier" sucks!
So grab yourself some popcorn..
1. No Light Jak or Dark Jak because of "unstable" eco, well the Auropeans can turn into Dark. AND WHY THE FUCK CAN DAXTER TURN INTO DARK DAXTER THEN?
2. The game doesn't continue the true story, at all. It's just messing it up.
3. Jak is the only one who can survive the Dark Eco process, because he is from the House of Mar, so it doesn't make any sence how the whole Auropean city became "Dark Eco Freaks"
4. They removed the holy Jet Board of holyness!
5. They removed the Morph Gun and replaced it with some kind of "stick" where you can attach gun mods on. The weapons is different and has worse range than in the previous games, the blaster mod shoots ridiculously slow. You can't even put the stick on your back!
6. They made a new weapon called "The Lobber" which is a HORRIBLE replacement to the Peace Maker.
7. Planes. Oh my god. Jak and Daxter doesn't have anything to do with Planes, sky battles, the environment when driving a plane, it's just like 4 mountains and the rest is endless water.
6. The cutscenes was boring, the animation felt cheap.
7. Jak and Daxter's personality, no aggression no anger. They used to make fun jokes, didn't they?
8. The gameplay were repetitive, go in there, shoot all enemies, go to your plane, fight a sky battle. It happens the whole game.
9. Probably the worst one right here: Dark Daxter. My god, it was awful. First off, the gameplay for Dark Daxter were boring as hell. Dark Daxter isn't even possible because Daxter is a precursor, and if a precursor is infected with Dark Eco, it becomes a Dark Maker. Seriously High Impact Games? Follow the story, goddamnit.
10. All the old characters is gone, it's the "world's end" that they call it. I'm pretty sure Ashelin, Torn, Sig, Samos and all the others are willing to go with them.
11. The story sucked. Eco Pirates vs Dark Eco Freaks? Why don't put ninjas in there? The story is living on a joke by the way, because of the unstable eco. So it should've been Eco Pirates vs Freaks.
12. Keira is ugly.
13. Josh Keaton get out, Mike Erwin get your ass into the studio.
#13 LMFAO That alone fcked everything up! #12 ROFL
#14 Outfits were shit!
Everything's wrong with this game. Good thing I got it at low price on a sellout.
And it's a detail but it does much, the music is a total ripoff of Pirates of the Caribbean.
It's a decent jumping point for the fourth game but yeah number 9 is the one that killed it for me this was pretty much a filler game. Let's hope they don't muck it up.
Keira was much hotter in the first game, Jak 3 was when they f*cked her up.
I can hear Keira voice it Tara as Twilight sparkle
Owen Wilson as Lightning McQueen
Tara Strong as Twilight Sparkle
The concepts are good as well.
I feel like this Jak voice with the goatee would've been sick 😩
Well now im curious to know what the big power line past the frontier leads to.
nice job man
Jak is much more talkative this game and very laid back , I enjoy that
I really hope that they make sure that this game is not Canon
+Ace. Inc if jak 4 comes out a good way to show this being non canon is to have it as an in universe video game, after saving the world and wining the kras city grand prix im sure jak has become famous enough to have in world video games
i watched a playthrough of this game and it looked fun, wish i had gotten it but i was too blinded by nostalgia back then to see that it wasn't made by naughty dog and was more of a tribute to the jak series than anything.
They should move back the version type of game like the Precursor Legacy of the first game. That was the game that I feel in love with this series
Can't believe I watched all of this...
17:00 This scene.... Could have been done better.
aha the daxter voice actor is so faithful to the entire J&D series
*Dark Daxter Cutscenes*
7:25-8:12
18:22-19:02
30:15-30:45
You're so nice ! I love Dark Daxter too
Dark Daxter really needs to be used more often
TLF is the best Jak game ! Right ?
Yep, that's right, I also feel that Daxter is the most developed character
Thanks, if Jak's dark powers were working, him and Dark Daxter would be unstoppable.
The Lost Frontier has Jak 2 flashback of Krimzon Guard Commander Erol and Baron Praxis.
I do not care what fanboys say. I enjoyed this game very much and I am aware of the differences original J&D has. I think it does better stroytelling than any of the previous games. I love it. Hate me all you want.
this feels like fanfiction created into a video game
Nostalgia brought me here :) OH THE MEHMRIES THERE TOO MUCH OMG
Had no good memories beating this shit game
+Precursor Legends I was 5. I had just gotten a PSP and a few games. This was one of them. It brings backs good memories.
yeah i'm getting that feel too
honestly, i kinda liked this game. especially the soundtrack. not that i mean to imply that the others had inferior music, of course.
I disagree. Jak and daxter: the precursor legacy and jak 2 have the best soundtrack
In jak and daxter: the precursor legacy its all cool and innocent while in jak 2 its gotten all dark
I only bought this game to complete my collection its predecessors were masterpieces
I looked this game up and it said it launched on PSP. It really shows.
Jak and prince of persia in pirates of the caribean...
jak didnt even keep any of MAR's Armour lol
Jak looks swole as hell! 🤩😍❤🔥
The only way I cope with this game is pretending that the whole story was just a terrible nightmare.
Word to the wise, denial never works
the only thing that kept my interest was the lore concerning the jak and daxter world. I knew jak's "uncle" was an explorer and that meant there was unexplored areas of the world, but that was the past so there was more world known in the future. however they were not aware of the wastelander city so its possible not all of the world was explored or if it was, facts were omitted for secrecy. The edge of the world and the foggy depths below were interesting as well as getting to know how the precursor eco system worked and how far it ran. I also liked how there was subtle detail to jaks head that looks similar to the mar statue features.
*cries in corner*
im gonna watch this in fullscreen without having my eyes burn
Has anyone played Daxter on PSP as well?
Jak X and Daxter were, IMO, both really good spin offs.
This game got a lot of shit, I've never played myself but I love the story so watching this! :D
the story doesnt make any sense and daxter gets doused w dark eco so that makes him turn into some super beast but the first time he fell in it jak 1 he turned into a squirrel... what?
An Ottsel
A precursor
+Coley Durham jak's ability to channel eco is the reason he didn't turn into that... And is why he didnt die either.
@@douchewagon56
and since he got more dark eco he technically became a dark maker
Everyone 10+ cómic mischief, fantasy violence, mild languare and mild suggerestive themes
i thought tim was gaul at the satrt somehow as he was a dark eco researcher and his facial features match those to gaul
Unlike most Jak and Daxter fans, I actually enjoyed this game. It could have been better though. But nonetheless, I enjoyed it.
ECDT1089 that's how i feel. like, if Naughty Dog had made it in *their* image, then it most likely would have been great :D i think it was things like the crap camera controls, the loss of ND's signature moves (spin kick, crouch, etc.) Jak practically turning into a HALO character with each upgrade and a few other things, it wudda been nice
+ECDT1089 Yeah but it feels like a huge step down from the previous games really. The Dark Daxter thing and Pheonix were the only things I really liked about it, and even the former wasn't really explained all that well.
The voice actors and the character models should not of changed, they were perfect how they were.
this is what happens when you give the rights of game series to a company that has no idea what Jak & Daxter is about.
***** Same happened with Insomniac, they handed the rights of R&C to other companies.
Though the voice actors have almost never changed, the character design went from an all-ages punk rebel Ratchet design to an un-intimidating weak looking child-Lombax.
And Cpt. Quark went from his design that boasted 'conceited and smug', his body designed almost looked as if he had pillows stuffed underneath his suit to make him appear strong. The new design is just bland.
As for the game's comedy, it went from crude to childish.
I had to add my opinion on Ratchet and Clank, as it was also one of my favourite games.
what is it with gaming companies that made awesome games and giving the rights to other gaming companies and using it as toilet paper? >:/
Insomniac never owned the rights to Ratchet and Clank, Sony owns them, same with Jak and Daxter
Lmao this comment section, the absolute state of RaC being arguably at its peak as a relevant respected franchise while Jak is still in the grave.
i wish i could actually play these games and here's hoping for a jak and daxter 4
The only saving grace, Max Casella returning to voice Daxter
I know im gonna be murderd for this but i played it like 24 times now on my psp(mostly during the long Trips in the family rv from germany to italy) and I enjoyed it every time.
Just imagine that Jak X had WAAAYY better graphics and an immensely better and continuing storyline for a game that was solely racing and battle royale competitions.
I've never played this only played the original trilogy about 10 years ago am I missing anything by not playing this?
Trust me your not missing anything. This game is a piece of shit not even made by naughty dog and nothing to do with the original story.
However you should play jak x combat racing or Daxter on the psp those are much better games.
On the bright side atleast Daxter is Daxter lol
30:33- WICKED!
game in a nut-shell:
hey! we got this orb thing plot device pointing in to our next level. now, i'll give you a tenuous explanation of why you're going there
LET'S GO
This game is like the Devil May Cry 2 of Jak and Daxter
"Thing looks fast standing still."
I see Jak has my type of love for sweet rides. That's a vehicle pick up line if I ever saw one!
This was a great game franchise. They need to find some way to really bring it back, make it brand new and stuff.
daxter looks good in this game
36:36 yes finally!!
I love how Jak looks like Cid Highwind in this one.
8:05- BY THE MATRIX! Daxter has dark eco powers!
I remember playing the 1st one.
At 7:30 daxter falling in to a sewer and at 7:59 & 8:01 enter mutation birth of dark daxter
Keira sounds like twilight sparkle from my little pony friendship is magic.
Same voice actress
@@bloodstaindew1888 she had voiced Keira since Jak 3.
Are these voice actors... acting? This game is an abomination.
I loved this game on the psp
RIP Jak series after Jak 3
jak x
Sonic the legend was garbage
Not really its ok*****
