Speedrunners made some amazing mods for Jak 1 OpenGOAL, really excited to see what kinda Jak 2 mods will be brought to the table. Still praying for custom jetboard tracks!
RICKYYYY 🤙
Would be nice to have a level editor
the legend himself, jakmods.dev/ is this the site where you can download said mods? been curious to check them out but it seems a little sketch, I cant find the mods anywhere else, nor can I find Kuitar's custom level since the link in his Doc file is broken
P.S Thank you SO MUCH for your Jak 3 'Era' series, so glad such an amazing tight knit community exists around Jak speedrunning, the effort you put into the videos is amazing
it's sad to see how sony treats its old series. PS3 is by far the most inaccessible PS console and it's so ridiculous they have done next to nothing to preserve it. Props to the fans that want to preserve masterpieces such as this game. For the longest time, PS3 was the definitive release of Jak, and I'm glad PC is replacing them.
Ähm well no ( the ps3 version beeing the definitive not the sony bs there you are right) the ps3 version had so many bugs was sometimes Verry inconsistent and also had random crashes everywhere but aside from the bugs it did feel much better. But you don't care about the good things when the game crashes during the end of the "retrieve Amulett from slums" mission .... but i can see your argument which means the whole comment is unnecessary. Thank you for loosing time :())
@@mehmetjj9163 The PS3 collection of Jak 1,2 and 3 are WAY BETTER than their PS Store versions for PS4 and PS5 which are emulated versions of the PS2 games. Don't get me wrong, PS Vita is by far the worst console to play the Jak games because of the horribly low framerate and bad controls, but PS4 and PS5 are not far behind due to the horrible framerate dips and limited directional inputs.
Drakengard and Arc the Lad comes to mind for me...
didn't the ps3 versions literally have a bug with analog inputs when you slide punch
When I hear Jak and Daxter games, I think of ps2, not ps3 😂😂
I also don't play PC. i have these games on ps5, and they run just fine 😅
I'm glad the fandom is healthy enough that this project can exist. I'm not counting on the series ever coming back in any official capacity, but things like this make that much easier to stomach.
Edit: Also, I think someone will inevitably try to merge Jak 2 and 3 into one supergame with a mod. That'd be sick, but SUPER difficult.
Kinda like the Fallout New Vegas mod that adds Fallout 3 into the game? That would be cool.
@@TheDaxter11 There's a whole New Vegas mod being made for Fallout 4, too!
I'd be interested to see if someone takes up the mantle of redoing the Lost Frontier completely from scratch with OpenGoal assets and programming.
@@Signerdragon123 While it wasn't a great Jak game, I still found it fun to play and get all the planes and upgrades and stuff, so that would be cool.
THis would proably be more easy to do in mordern game engines@@Signerdragon123
Thank you for covering this so that people know, the opengoal devs did an incredible job!
An awesome idea.
I would love a group to do this for the Sly Cooper and Ratchet games. I know they are in different languages, but it would be an amazing thing to do.
PRAYING FOR THIS!
There is a Sly 1 decomp, but it's early days, and I don't think a PC port is really on the cards yet.
They work really good on emulators!
@@MuchWhitteringSly 1 decompilation project? Didn't the same team say that they're not gonna port other games?
Well yeah, the OpenGOAL team said that. But there are other people on Earth besides the OpenGOAL team.@@ponczos_2293
Im about half way through Jak 2 on the beta release and its really something seeing whole levels with max LOD geometry and light/particle effects. Also the better texture filtering really shows how well the art style has held up after 20 years. The forest and deadtown particularly hold up so well. Pcsx2 and rpcs3 have had some visual bugs that arent in the openGOAL version (notable ones are when you are entering the port from the red district a big piece of the city wall isnt rendered and is just a void and the vent heat distortion effects looking like hexagons). Huge shout out to the openGOAL devs, so awesome what yall are doing!
I kind of hope with all the work done by this group, is Sony might contact them about doing an official Retail Release of these games for PC and PS5 (to replace the one that is on there) in doing a remaster/remake of the graphics in modern graphics today.
Why would you WANT an official release? It'd get less support, have DRM, no mod capabilities. It would be worse in every possible way.@@Finger112
@@MuchWhittering Well No.1, finding an ISO on third party sites is always (or if your luckily and have your own copy) risky legally speaking to do this and plus this would be more ease of access to more players (plus releasing a remaster for modern consoles as well). Don't know what you mean by less mod support, of course the games if they were released on Steam could still have mod support! Yes they may change the code a bit, but that doesn't mean the games would have less ability to do modding. What makes you think they wouldn't have this? All of the mods we have now for this, they could be ported over to the retail version of the game.
Now we need upscaled textures, meshes and improved lighting (add DX11 features)
They wouldn't have official mod support like this does. So yes, it would inherently have "less ability to do modding", because you'd be fighting an uphill battle to do it. There's a reason the most modded game of all time is one that has official support for it.@@Finger112
This looks great! I can't wait for the modding community to include mods such as a playable Torn, Ashelin, and even Sig.
I'd rather see bigger mods like a police overhaul or weapon expansion.
Awesome to see this! I've been wanting to jump back into these games again! :D
(will be playing it on my Steam Deck more than anything though!)
I've been playing Jak 2 on Steam Deck with this and it's been fantastic
The one thing that I love the most form these ports is an actual 16x9 support. On ps2, the 16x9 support is only a cheap zoomed in version, which means that you lose a huge chunk of the screen. It makes it so the best way to play the game is to play on 4x3, but it's not that great on modern monitors. And even on the ps3 version, they still used that version instead of making a real 16x9.
Just to be able to actually experienced a well polished version of the game with an actual good display for modern monitors is just so amazing and makes it the best version to experience these games nowadays in my opinion. It's such great work, it's truly amazing!
wrong, pcsx2 has proper 16:9 rendering
@@wojtulacehoe5089 I didn't know that actually! I've never used this, I alway assumed that it was just a "simple" ps2 emulator for pc. I guess that they added some kind of support for more functionalities for games? Well, no matter how it works, I now feel quite ignorant to have waited so long to have this game in a true 16x9 then.
@@wojtulacehoe5089 wrong, default patches and the native pcsx2 widescreen patches just force locks the 16:9 in-game option which has stretched UI elements. I believe cutscenes are indeed rendered correctly by the patch but issues with the 16:9 version still occur.
i.e. the mini-map is an oval and not a circle, as well as Jak's health which exaggerates the low resolution and original artwork of the HUD.
Love this style of video! Love to see you do more news on games but I love all your content as is ❤
nice vid and is nice to see you uploading again 🙂
This makes me happy how much fans put work into preserving old series such as this one.
wow this looks amazing , downloading it soon as i get home . Cant wait for Jak 3 since that’s my favorite one.
I hope someone makes a mod that lets us play as classic Jak as well as Prison Uniform Jak!
I’m so glad your uploading m8
Great video!
you will reach 1M subs one day, just keep it up!
Started playing jak 1 on open goal last night, it’s amazing and I just let the music play
I do hope the Sly Cooper and PS2 Ratchet and Clank games, even the ports of Size Matters and Secret Agent Clank, get ports like this some day. The Sly games especially since while people may have joked about the floating oversized helmet in Going Commando and Up Your Arsenal or a certain camera angle during a cutscene in Deadlocked/Gladiator, I recall the HD versions of the Sly games having more bugs and errors like wrong music, missing audio, and missing features from the PS2 versions.
Don't leave it at the Platformers either though. Maybe we can get ports of the Twisted Metal games or various RPGs and/or action games like the Dark Cloud duology or Rogue Galaxy.
The PS3 version of Deadlocked is nearly unplayable with home many bugs it has it definitely needs a PC port
Awesome! Can’t wait to get this. I have the OG PS2 versions of J&D, 2 and 3, as well as the PS4 versions. Now it’s time for the PC version.
Assuming Sony doesn't destroy it
@@nellielmadness9053the first one has been done and untouched for a while.
Clean room source reverse engineering is very legal as long as assets aren't included. It's why you still need a ROM to extract the textures, models, and music etc.
@@aftonstjarna4530 assuming Sony doesn't destroy it
They won't. Jak 1 has been out for a year and a half now.@@nellielmadness9053
Lov u man don't disappear
Holy crap, this game defined my preteen years! I'm playing this after work!
I hope one day we get JAK 4 and Sly 5
Im gonna wait for jak 3 to play it all. I never finished the 2nd game, got stuck with the hoverboard in some area lol.
Finally i have been waiting for it for more then a year to come pc
I'm so happy I saw this. I tried to play this game on PS2 emulator, but it was a nightmare to play. framerate was bad and graphical glitches everywhere.
Loved the Daxter montage😂👌🏻
Just started playing this on my ps5 a few days ago
Hey brother, was just wondering if you’re going to do a Final Fantasy 16 play-through? Maybe you already played the game since it’s been some time since release, but thought I’d ask. Great to have you back!
This is absolutely amazing, we can only dream of this kind of support from naughty dog and sony
Never played the Jak games (don't come for me 😂) but I'll watch this video regardless just to support the channel. Good to see you back bro.
the turkey has returned just in time for thanksgiving
miss the jak and daxter games and play them on pc
I HAD TO QUICKLY CLICK OFF THE ORIGINAL VIDEO I WAS WATCHING DUE ME SEEING “thegamersjoint” drop A NEW VIDEO. Guys we have to appreciate cynical every time he drops a new video. Thank you for this video Jared love from Florida USA.
I would love to see a documentary from the OpenGoal devs who made this possible! Even the original j&d devs couldn't beleave it
I would love a remake of all 3 of these and the PSP one and Jake x racing frfr
I think that all this information is very interesting.
I´ve tried it and this is awesome :D they also programmed the LED of the ps4 Controller. So if you are followed by the crimson guard it smoothly changes from red to blue XD I LOVE IT
Are they going to do a PC port of Jak X and The Lost Frontier too ? That would be golden
I 100%'d the first game on my steam deck thanks to the pc version. I cant wait to do the same with jak 2
honestly please do a playthrough of jak and daxter!! 🙏🙏
I hope that they are gonna do Jak X too cause we didnt even get a remaster for that 😢
Jak II is my favorite Jak but 3 would be fun
I’d watch a Jak 2 playthrough of yours
The one I'm most excited for is Jak X, the game really only needs a little graphical uplift and it will be superb.
Same, especially with online support, maybe even improved splitscreen? Would be great to be able to mix splitscreen and online, IIRC the PS2 version didn't let you do that.
When will Jak 3 will also get the PC Port;;
Also Big Shoutout to the team that they also support ultra-wide resolutions to make the games look fantastic
OpenGOAL might possibly decomplie Jak X Combat Racing as well as I believe that was done in the same programming language as the Jak Trilogy. But they haven't confirmed if they will tackle this game yet.
dude that daxter mod clip lmao
I hope Jak X also gets a native port, because the pcsx2 version has many issues.
It's no such thing as a pcsx2 port that emu is just running the ps2 game
The fact that Sony neglects their older library is a damn shame. I would gladly pay for PC ports of games like Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank, and Sly!
Honestly the series deserves a remake that takes in account the lore from all the games to add in extra details and secrets and even special bosses
Wow that’s cool
Imagine if this somehow leads to a good port of jak and dexter for the vita
Kingdom hearts and this game really made the ps2 era poping 🙌🏽
Looks really good. I wonder if this would work on Steam Deck, have you tried?
Works great for me
I had to replace the executable with one in a help thread in the Discord.
It'll get pushed to the launcher in a patch soon if it hasn't already.
Naughty Dog’s greatest sin is abandoning Jak. While I appreciate and love Uncharted and TLOU in every facet, I just can’t believe in the age of remakes, reboots, and revivals of Ratchet and Clank, Spyro, Crash, and FF7, Jak hasn’t even been whispered about or rumored. Stuff like this is what can help give it hope and life, thanks for covering Cynical, glad to have you back!
I hope that they port Jak X to
I'm a firm believer that developers should grant their fanbases the tools they need to keep games or services running once the developers have stopped supporting them officially. Keeps players happy and gives future developers the chance to hone their skills.
Wait what? OMG!!!! A native PC port!!!
Good old Naruto and Pikachu and the search for Owen Wilsons car keys.
moment you said playable daxter I was instantly sold
Can anybody tell me if 2 can be played all the way and the extra features
i love to see it
also where do we get mods from? i've tried googling it and i haven't got far
If Jak X is a possibility then I’m sold
The Turkey King is BACK! So good to hear this voice.
Cynical is back and we get a Jak 2 PC Port?! Unreal week for Gaming and content creation, welcome back brother can't wait to see what you have in store going forward!
I wish people would do this for Saints row 2. That game has been so neglected. Props to these devs and modders tho. I love jak and daxter games
Have they said if they're going to do Jak X as well? I loved that game as a kid.
Answer from their website's FAQ: "As of now, it's unsure whether Jak X will be decompiled."
I'm really hoping that Jak X is decompiled because that means online multiplayer might be possible
5:27 what is Discord Rich-Presence
All this version needs is a reworked checkpoint system, because oh my god.
what do i put for the file name after clicking 'install via ISO'? Mine wont let me proceed
Do you have the ISO?
love this game :)
Since the Jak and Daxter movie doesn't even have a release window, the fans might make Jak 4 before Sony itself xD.
I would love ti see a timetraveling adventure with Gol and Maia as the main villains.
Please do a jak 1 mod showcase
Woo
Any plans for live streaming?
I love you!
I know Jak 3 PC isnt out yet but what of we manage to finally have an online mode for Jak X on PC in the future? The popularity of this series would spike up if this team can pull it off!
There’s an online version for pcsx2 at the moment
I think its totally possible since they made it work on ps2 and pcsx2
Let’s gooooooooooo! Now we need some prince of Persia and god of war pc ports
great
Yessir
does someone have a compatible iso for the port?
Before anyone tells me that Jak and Daxter series are exclusive to playstation and whatnot, I genuinely hope that these games come to the nintendo switch. I remember playing the Daxter stand alone spinoff game on my old PSP and I loved it, anyways if these games are getting pc ports maybe in the far future it would come to the switch.
Don't count on it. This isn't even an official port to PC by Sony or Naughty Dog. They don't even have a definitive way to play them on current Playstation consoles. It's a buggy laggy emulation of the ps2 version.
@@Jok3rSmilee I won't count on anything my opinions are merely wishes that may or may not come true. heck one them is Square Enix redeeming their decision of porting Kingdom Hearts via cloud, I wish they'd make native physical ports in the future or better yet a collector's edition for it or something
So we have Ratchet & Clank for PC, now Jak & Daxter. Hopefully we can get a Sly Cooper game next to complete the OG PS trio.
We don't have Ratchet and Clank for PC though. Only Rift Apart. None of the older games are on PC.
I meant we have at least 1 of those games for PC. Sly has been left on the PS and I don't have a current model.@@MuchWhittering
More jak and daxter content
It's amazing what a great of fans can do when it comes to reviving great classics such as Jak 2. While Sony on the other hand just decided to forget about these amazing classics and just focus on new games that will either hit or miss(mostly likely miss depending on what kind of game these developers are trying to give us)and they be to expensive nowadays, and some of these games just aren't worth the sixty to seventy dollars. As a matter of fact, I would love it if Sony hired these people so that they revive other classics such as the classic Ratchet & Clank games, Sly Cooper, and the God of War Games on PS2 and PSP.
cool
Cool deal
I thought that Daxtel was a weasel(since Ottsel is a mashup of otter and weasel). Not a cat. I know what a cat looks like. ^_^
WELL SLAP ME WITH A TURKEY SANDWICH HES BACK
where to get iso?
I hope fans can make more of these since Sony doesn't care about old ratchet games and especially sly
Imo Naughty Dog should buy this port from the devs and run it in the background and put their engine over it to update the visuals
How'd you feel if Adi Shankar got the rights to do a Jak and Daxter Netflix series?
Oh and also hi hey and hello there it’s been a while
Now all people have to do is mod in the wasteland and weapons from Jak 3
Anyone having latency issues? I try double jumping and it doesn't come out some times
I think that's just the game in general. It's always been like that. You can't tap the jump button too quickly after your first press, or it won't register.
Happens to me too but that has always been like this. It's because PS2 had a lot more input LAG.
Can i play this on my steam deck
