  • What's up Jak and Daxter fans, Boomer here!
    It's been some time since I last uploaded an actual review of a game or product so I'm definitely a bit rusty, but let me tell you; Did I have a lot of fun making this one. "The Lost Frontier" for the PlayStation Portable (PSP) unfortunately is the last Jak and Daxter entry in the series. It was supposed to be its grand finale, but it's anything else than that... Reviews from the time claim that it's a decent game, but I'm here to show you why it's not and instead, why it miserably failed in my opinion. What are your thoughts about this game? Is there anything you enjoyed? Let me know in the comments and enjoy the video!

    Despite Dark Daxter's existence being a huge plot hole, I do honestly believe that's what the Dark Makers actually look like, considering the ones we saw in Jak 3 look more like robots being remotely controlled from their ship...and Precursors love their robots.

    You could see what they were going for with this game. Each Jak game has a theme in my mind. Jak 1 was jungle adventure, Jak 2 time travel/futuristic, Jak 3 mad max warrior. After Jak 3 sky pirates isn't a bad idea at all. I think it's actually a good idea that was poorly executed. Even Jak 3 had a cool skyfight mission that was definitely the inspiration for TLF. Even the fact that they left Haven city alone is a good idea. In my opinion jak 3 shouldn't have included haven at all and just spargus. Pinning these characters to one setting is very limiting. There's no way playing in haven city for the third game in a row would be a good thing. It would've been four games in a row if you're counting Daxter. This game has so much potential but it was squandered because of bad writing, bad characterization and bad everything.

    I remember being really hyped for this game when it was announced. At first I was willing to accept some of the stuff shown in trailers, but man is it nothing like the rest of the series. I remember the biggest issue I had with it were the controls and the lackluster game-feel overall. As soon as you take control of Jak he feels sluggish and stiff, unlike the other games that had excellent animations and had impact. Then you go and fight some enemies, where again unlike the other games, felt really off. Whenever you punched enemies, they would flinch for half a second and then go right back to attacking you whereas in the other games they would fly backwards making it feel like your attacks were powerful and responsive.
    I could go on and on about the things I hated about this game, but these were the immediate things I noticed when I first booted it up. It felt like they tried to add too many things to this game, which were all great ideas (aside from Dark Daxter, why High Impact!?), but the game didn't have enough polish or game time given to each one in order to let them shine. It's a shame they never gave this series to a better studio or something to continue this great series, but all well, I'd rather it be subject to re-releases instead of making more games like TLF. Great vid by the way!

    @eddiejonesiii6254 Před 3 lety +4

    Yeah, that's really my biggest pet peeve with this game: I love Jak's alter ego forms, Dark Jak and Light Jak. But they don't give him those because of the instability of eco, which, in context with everything else, doesn't make ANY sense, because how does that actually affect Jak in any way? He can CHANNEL eco, he's not actually made up of eco or something. But then they turn right around and give Daxter - who was BLESSED from Dark Eco - Dark Daxter, a CURSED form of it. That was just SUCH a massive slap to the face for all the fans of the eco powers and forms.

    I agree with everything here, except the bit about voice acting. I thought the VAs were great and did great performances, and everything actually sounds a bit better if you just listen to the cutscenes audio without the animation. The writing definitely fell short, but I think we had maybe one gem or two in there storywise. I felt like the climactic scene between Jak/Phoenix/Keira/Tym where Phoenix reveals his history was delivered perfectly as far as voice acting goes.

Change the plot and make it better instead of the whole "eco shortage" nonsense. Return Dark jak and Light jak and add new moves and abilities for both of them. And let Mike Erwin reprise his role as jak because Mike IS Jak. Limit the flying missions. Return the morph and new ideas for the morph guns. And then the lost frontier could have been the ultimate jak and daxter experience we could have. It's really that simple.

    I quite enjoyed this game and as a completionist I always Daxter jaked every ship even if I had stuff from it while there were things I didn't like I still enjoyed it mainly cause I didn't play the psp version cause I'm not a complete masochist

      You're not the only one enjoying this game. I've seen many people telling me they like the game, so don't worry about it. It's definitely the weakest installment in the series though.

    i enjoyed it, on psp and ps2 its a nice jak like game but has less to do with original jak. its a good game by itself like yes its playable, collecting, upgrading and exploring does make fun but yeah. its a weird big step from jak 3 / jak x to ''this'' like whats up is the earth flat now huh or why this weird world.

    @Bunky0696 Před 4 lety +1

    If by some lottery ticket chance you go back to this game, there is a ps2 version which is muck less awkard to control. At that point its mostly traditional Jak controls minus the mechanics the game didnt include

    Always considered it a spin off. When ND or a developer who’d buy the series for a faithful sequel, they’d give us Jak 4. The real Jak 4.
    This game didn’t feel at all a Jak game. It felt like a huge downgrade

  • @PowercellZeke
    @PowercellZeke Před 5 lety

    I enjoyed the video, but I think having a structure to it would be a lot better. It seems like you're just talking about a lot of general thoughts instead of giving a structured review. For instance, you go from briefly talking about the opening of the game, to then the movement of Jaks on foot gameplay. Then you go on to talk about High Impact Games as a company, then about Dark Daxter. And, it's not even about the gameplay of Dark Daxter, just the concept of it. The video keeps doing this throughout, instead of, say, talking about story, then about gameplay, then about the different types of gameplay, etc. It just feels like a lot of disconnected thoughts.
    I also feel you're being a bit harsh on Jaks movement. While I agree it doesn't feel nearly as good as the original games, you can't really blame it. It was made for PSP, and for what it is, they got his movement pretty good. The control scheme of using L and R to pan the camera was also necessary because of the lack of a second analogue stick. A lot of games on the PSP did it like this.
    All in all, I enjoyed the video, but I feel like a bit more structure and explanations would benefit in future videos. Just to note, I'm not defending this game, I hate it with a passion, just some constructive criticism. Keep up the good work man.
    (just don't look at the review I did of the game, i made that when I was like 13 and it's horrendous)

    • @BoomerStreams

  • @BrennySpain
    @BrennySpain Před 5 lety +5

    Funny enough I've played the game on both consoles, ps2 and psp. The psp version was definitely better. But I really have to agree. This game isn't very good. I don't hate it but it's far from great too.

    • @BoomerStreams
      @BoomerStreams  Před 5 lety +1

      I too own the PS2 version. I don't know why I didn't chose it over the PSP, but I've heard mixed things about both versions. It must be the game afterall?

    • @BrennySpain
      @BrennySpain Před 5 lety +1

      BoomerStreams yeah awesome! But I gotta ask you too, are you a fan of any of the other ps2/ps1 exclusives like ratchet and clank, sly cooper, crash bandicoot, spyro the dragon or kingdom hearts at all? I love all of them as well as jak and daxter very much but especially kingdom hearts since I'm a huge Disney fan too. The whole concept with ff really is mindblowing I think!

    @Raimas Před 5 lety +2

    I told you on the stream that I actually enjoyed this game when I was a child/teen but I forgot to mention that I played the PSP version.
    I think that playing a game on a inferior console than the PS2 made me lower my expectations on it. Because of it I didn't complain as much as I wanted and made me enjoy it a bit more.
    But, in the end, it's still a bad game.
    And yes, I completed 101%! Never again!

  • @Manuelx98.
    @Manuelx98. Před 4 lety +2

    And still it's one of my favourite psp games. This game aims just to port a "Jak experience" on a portable console (just like Ratchet psp), totally unpretentious, with a good ost, controls that feels the same as previous games and multiple changes and new abilities that I personally appreciated. Is it the worst in the series? Maybe, but not a bad game as many claim. People use to judge this game as it was a "Jak 4", but it's not Jak 4, it's a short "spinoff" third party game for psp, ported to ps2 too, and it's really good for what it is, a short pocket-size Jak experience.

  • @lemonybiscuits4824

      @@BoomerStreams the nonlybmobile game I have is a port of an old rpg from gba. I wish they would poet some quality platformers. I have horrif dystonia so it's easier for me to play psp and so on, though. The more ports of everything, the better. Although I am more of a RAC player and fan, I respect jka as a superior platformer. I hope we will get similar games in the future, but I think it will take a whole.. Mods would be nice - I would learn the code to do it if I had the health.. Have a great day, fellow I platformer fan. 😁

  • @agentmaryland1239
    @agentmaryland1239 Před 3 lety

    I couldn't stand playing it on the PSP, I got it for the PS2 and played it, still wasn't that great. It honestly felt like they took everything the actual series built up and just threw it out the window. All of the old characters save for Jak, Keira, and Daxter just suddenly cease to exist despite Jak being pretty close friends with a lot of people. And yeah, you collect all of this Dark Eco to turn into Keira to upgrade yourself, but you can't turn into Light or Dark Jak??? But everyone else can on a whim??? Also, wasn't Baron Praxis literally scraping by with the last bit of Eco in Jak 2? Are you seriously telling me the Aurorans were hording all of it?

    @wasserbesitzer1247 Před 5 lety

    Da ich weiß das du Deutscher bist werde ich den Kommentar mal auf deutsch schreiben. Ist auch einfacher für mich.
    Ich habe das Spiel auf einem Spielstand 12 mal durchgespielt. Der Hero Modus ist der größte Müll. Mal abgesehen davon das man die Rüstung mitnimmt.
    Das größte Problem ist aber dass das Spiel ab einer bestimmten Anzahl (beim 6en mal denke ich) komplett verbuckt ist. 80% des Spiels wird dann einfach übersprungen. Bei einigen Missionen wo man Luftkämpfe macht, kann die falsche bewaffnung dazu führen das man gefangen ist, weil man die Missionen nicht mal abbrechen kann.
    Die Story ist ok und die Luftkämpfe ansich sind schon cool. Aber das Spiel ist sooo verbuckt. Diese scheiß Raketen Mission wo Daxter die Raketen sabotiert ist einfach lächerlich und unnötig gewesen.
    Fazit: Das Spiel hätte besser sein können. Generell hätten diese Entwickler es NIE entwickeln dürfen! Die haben selbst die PSP Teile von Rachet und Clank voll ruiniert.
    Ich wäre dafür das man das Spiel neu auflegen sollte da ich finde dass das Game wirklich Potenzial hat.
    Schade ist aber auch, dass dieser Teil der letzte wirkliche Teil war. Seit 10 Jahren kamm kein weiterer Jak and Daxter Teil raus. Mal abgesehen von den Ps3 und Ps4 Imports.
