  • Can’t wait! Tired of plugging PS2, PS3 and PS4 depending on what I want to play. I have to say though, I am VERY tired of paying for a game every time a new console comes out just so I don’t have to keep every console. It is the same game.

  • Please, 60fps, that’s all I want, you can run it at the old resolution or at least give us an option for 60fps. Please!!!

  • I just want Jak 4 on ps4

  • THE-PLASTICA-MAN

    Does the PS2 Collection have the same quality with reworked graphics like the HD collection?

  • TheMonsterManiac

    PLEASE, SLY. I’ll take anything: PS2 on PS4, remaster, Sly 5. I just need more Sly, please and thank you.

  • Thank God Jak X is finally returning!
    Now my PS2 can be be placed on the shelf purely as a decoration.
    But on a side note, 60 fps?

  • YES!!!!!!!!!! Jak-x. Can’t wait. Can we please have ps2 games playable on other devices? Vita or a new handheld maybe.Should be able to play them on the go

  • try to get it but i had a 160gb original slim PS3 so i got a 2nd chance!

  • What kind of world is this where we can’t get Crash Team Racing but we can get Jak X? Seriously, is this the best we can do as a society?

    • It’s a world where Sony doesn’t own the rights to Crash and they still own the rights to Jak and Daxter. Maybe Activision will let Vicarious Visions do CTR down the line but for now enjoy what we are getting.

    • In addition to what Space said, CTR is ALREADY available on PS3. Jak X NEVER got any re-releases till now. Also, Crash Coll is being remade, whereas JaD Coll is not. Lastly, Jak X is part of a ported Tetralody, CTR is only one game. CTR will probably be remastered later, or ported to PS4 after CBColl.

  • Resmaster Spyro and Socom 3 and CA. Mostly Socom 3 and CA online!

  • I guess a port of the PS3 HD collection was to much to ask for, nevermind the fact that Square Enix did it with Kingdom hearts just fine.

    • PS2 versions on PS4 is the better deal, the PS3 versions lost several graphical touches (copper sheen on precursor ruins for example).

  • These are great games, but I remember that Jak 3 was one of the hardest games I had played at the time. The race times were completely unforgiving. It will be interesting to see how they compare now.

    It will also be interesting to see the inevitable side by side comparison of these and the remastered version that was on PS3.

    • Jak 2 was harder than 3. Jak 2’s races were pretty unforgiving. Meanwhile I still have yet to find all 600 orbs on Jak 3…

  • Wicked!!!, my year is made!!!

  • Ohhh hell yeah,but i was wishing that they make definitive version of all 5 parts

  • Hah, nah, I think I’ll just play them on my Vita. You know, that piece of hardware you don’t support anymore, because you’re too busy shilling crap like PS Now instead of getting real backwards compatibility.

  • This is the greatest thing I’ve seen so long. When I first red it I was about to cry… OMG the best games ever created are back in the new era of gaming… This makes a lot of player so happy. Nice job Naughty Dog ❤️

  • I am SO looking forward to this! Hopefully, we might more 3D Platformers in the future (like Yooka-Laylee, Crash Bandicoot: N-Sane Trilogy, and even Super Mario Odyssey.).

  • Omg yes!! I love Jak and Daxter. But please PlayStation can you make a Spyro the dragon trilogy remake?

  • it will be on CD as a collection or only on PlayStation Store?

  • Great! Now bring them back for real for Jak and Daxter 4 on PS4.

  • would it have been so bad to use the PS3 HD update as a base for this? Really hope the ICO games get better treatment when they come over to PS4

  • How many times do we need to tell you?

    WE
    WANT
    SOCOM

    You already remastered this for PS3/Vita. WE WANT SOCOM 1 and 2 HD.

    STOP TREATING US LIKE DIRT, STOP IGNORING US.

  • Lol like all the stupid recycled games what’s the point of this?…there is already the HD collection so this is totally needless.Oh but of course y’all wanna make another cash-grab ha.Should’ve brought only Jak X and put the HD collection on PSNow.

    I’ll be getting Jak X if it comes separately.Seriously Sony y’all should be focusing in bringing games that never had the HD treat like you did with Twisted Metal Black and some other games.

  • Why not just port the HD Remasters? Was there somethign wrong with them? If I’m not mistaken it would have just of been as much work to port those as it would to do these PS2 to PS4 titles. Jak X is much appreciated though, I’ll grab that, but I’ll continue to wallow on my PS3 for the original titles.

    Maybe picking titles like Xenosaga or if it has to be Sony IP. We haven’t seen Syphon Filter in ages, you could talk to Namco about Soul Calibur 2 and 3. Wouldn’t mind Tekken 4 or Tekken 5. Tekken Tag is shaky given the last re-release on PS3. Still some Wild Arms Titles out there I’m sure. I think we just got WA3. Ridge Racer maybe? I dunno Anything other than something that has a superior version floating around out there on PS3.

  • Please add Front Mission 4 and Dragon Ball z Budokai Tenkaichi 2. I will not care how much both of thm is when it goes to PS4 because I love both of those games.

  • I connected my PS2 recently to play these so glad to see they are finally coming back!!! Greatest news ever !

  • I cant believe we cant have online multiplayer for Jak X. I probably will still get it because I am just fan of the Jak series but really Sony and Naughty Dog. Online multiplayer will be gold for this game

  • Backwards compatibility is finally come to the ps4! Sony finally caught up.with Microsoft!

  • Can we get some of the best selling games??
    Def Jam Fight for NY, NFL Street 2 , NBA Street volume 2, c0d BO1, smackdown Vs Raw

  • I’d like to get a notification of this the moment that it drops

  • Can I get the Jak and Daxter collection at a discount or for free if i have the disc copy? Im a bit confused…

  • I’m excited to finally play Jak X again — but PLEASE tell me they’ve fixed the corrupted-save-data bug which plagued most copies of the PS2 release.
    There’s still a whole page on this issue in playstation.com’s support section! — http://community.us.playstation.com/t5/Jak-and-Daxter-Series/Jak-X-Data-Corruption-Problem-How-to-Prevent-and-Fix-it/td-p/14404070

  • UKeepWhatUKill69

    i’ve waited to see if this was going to happen. Love this game!! Played it on PS2, bought the collection for PS3…and buying again for PS4…bad pattern here though.

  • Finally Jak-X for the ps4 I’ve been playing the ps2 version for too long now sadly there not going to be online service but my prayers have been answered.

  • so many games now a days dont have any couch co-op, u always need 2 copys and 2 systems plus online and jak x combat racing is a good old favorite for me playing with my friends so really excited to get it the most

  • What if we bought the jak and daxter collection on the ps store like i bought it for my ps3 would we get a discount i dont mind paying full price but i just thought to ask

  • What about multiplayer in Jak X? Some one knows?

  • Yes! Jak X is honestly one of my all time favorite racing games. I will absolutely buy all four titles when they release!

  • This is great, but where’s Ratchet and Clank? The rest of the God of War series? The Sly games? Any 1st party PlayStation 2 game, should already be on PS2 on PS4, haul ass, lets get moving, lots of demand but I don’t see enough supply.

    Also port InFamous and InFamous 2, and also call Activision to see of you guys can bring Spider-man 2, Spider-man the movie game, Ultimate Spider-man, Xmen Legends, Xmen Legends 2 on PS2 on PS4.

    Get Capcom to bring Viewtiful Joe, DMC 1,2, and 3, Onimusha to PS2 on PS4.

    Get Bandai Banco to bring Budokai Tenkaichi 2 & 3, Naruto Ultimate Ninja 1 – 5 on PS2 on PS4.

    Why tf is Prince of Persia Sands of Time, Warrior Within, Two Thrones, Star Wars Episode 3, Original Star Wars Battlefront 2 on PS3’s PS2 collection, but not PS4’s? Anything still on PS3’s PS2 collection should be on PS4, no excuses.

    AND BRING BACK SPONGEBOB THE MOVIE GAME put it on PS2 on PS4.

    Move y’all asses

  • I don’t like the idea of emulation. 
    Use HD Collection’s codebase fix all bugs then bring that to the PS4 and as a PS3 patch. Then get Mass Media to port
    Jak X to PS3 and PS4 the way they ported the PS3 HD collection for PS3. Change your mind about the online multiplayer. If Ratchet and clank 3 and Deadlocked had online features then so can Jak X.

    Ethier that or it’s nothing to me.
