Greetings all, hopefully you’ve been getting to spend some quality time with UNCHARTED 3: Drake’s Deception these past few weeks. We are grateful for all the positive fan feedback and thank you for the support! I’m not here today to talk about U3, though. We’ve been getting many, many requests asking about Jak and Daxter coming to PS3, and I’m happy to announce that the series will make its PS3 debut this February with the launch of the Jak and Daxter Collection.
The Jak and Daxter Collection features three of our favorite Jak and Daxter titles – Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, Jak II, and Jak 3 – all remastered by Mass Media, working closely with our team at Naughty Dog. With the launch of Jak and Daxter Collection, you’ll be able to experience the adventures of Jak and his Daxter in 720p high definition with crisper visuals, smoother gameplay animation, and in full stereoscopic 3D. And, I’m sure all of you hardcore collectors will be happy to hear that each game in the trilogy features full PS3 trophy support.
The Jak and Daxter franchise set a benchmark for the platformer genre with its huge environments and gaming freedom. In fact, it holds seven world records in the Guinness World Records: Gamer’s Edition 2008 including the First Seamless 3D World in a Console Game. As you can imagine, there’s a lot of love for the franchise here at Naughty Dog, and it has a very special place in our hearts. If you can believe it, the Jak and Daxter franchise will be celebrating its 10th anniversary this year on December 4th and we’ll be checking in with you via the PlayStation.Blog to help us celebrate. In the meantime, let me know your favorite Jak and Daxter memories in the comments and be sure to stay tuned to the blog to for the latest Jak and Daxter Collection news.
Yes, amazing games. I still have all the jak and daxter games on my ps2 and loved them.
Yes this is great I been waiting for this series to come to the PS3 and now its finally coming I’m making sure I pick this game up day 1 :)
finally day one purchase for me.great games.
Yes! I’m so excited! I have all 3 on the PS2, and can’t wait to get them in HD and 3D on the PS3. Awesome news, I’ll be getting it day 1.
Will there be any bonus material? I remember having a demo disc for the original Jak & Daxter years ago right before the game came out that had some cool making of videos with them talking about the game (including how big to make Jak’s hand whenever he punches), and I’d really love to see stuff like that again. What are the chances?
Also, yeah for demo disks back in the day. They sold me on so many games that I might have otherwise glazed on by. When that demo disk for Jak & Daxter came in the mail, I threw it in, and immediately went out and per-ordered it. I played that demo to death before I got the full game, and it’s probably the only game I have fully completed. (All 101 power cells!)
Also, are we going to at some point get Jak X and the two PSP Jak games in another collection? I have yet to play the other Jak game (that also hit PS2), so it’d be cool to catch up on it someday.
All 101 power cells! That’s awesome. Great feat. As for bonus materials, nothing in terms of the videos you mentioned but there will be Stereoscopic 3D support and full Trophy support for all three titles in addition to the titles running at 720p native now!
