I've voted for Ratchet as it had the newest games, so they could perfect the gameplay, add amazingly beautiful graphics and the Future History was EPIC!

 

Jak & Daxter is simply EPIC  in every single title and I think if they had a game made for an HD console it could top Ratchet and Clank... I think The Precursor Legacy deserved at the least a remake (like the one being made for R&C 1) as it's gameplay is the most dated and it would really benefit of smooth gameplay, beautiful HD graphics remade (not only HD remastered) and it could be an amazing way to Reintroduce Gol and Maia (who were my favorite bosses on the game) and I think they deserve better coverage as being the precursors of the Dark Eco and stuff

 

Sly is cool and is must play game (sad for how bad it went on PS3) being Sly 2 the best one with the darkest story ever...

 

 

I would really enjoy if Sony gave us a Bigger coverage on platformer games every year... Like having 2 2D platformers release and 2 3D platforming releases, something like:

2014 - Q4 Little Big Planet 3


2015 - Q1 Ratchet and Clank (Remake)

2015 - Q2 Puppeteer 2

2015 - Q3 The Adventures of Lomax (REMAKE)

2016 - Q1 The Adventures of Lomax 2 (celebrating 20 years of the Psygnosis Spin-Off and for the 25 years of the Lemmings Franchise)

Jak & Daxter has a soft place in my heart.



The first Jak and Daxter is the best single game, but, unfortunately, the series took a turn for the worse after that. Ratchet, conversely, got better with later installments. So my vote goes to Ratchet. Sly is good too but it doesn't hit the same high notes as Ratchet.

Good thread idea :)



That is a hard one. I love the humor in R&C and Jak but I'll give it to R&C since the gameplay is a bit more involved. Very closely matched tho.

Ratchet will win because it is the only one which has games on the PS3 that were successful.

No Jak games ever came out for the PS3 unless you want to include the collection which sold better than both the other collections.

Jak is the best though.



Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

Killzone 2. its not a fps. it a FIRST PERSON WAR SIMULATOR!!!! ..The true PLAYSTATION 3 launch date and market dominations is SEP 1st

Mario.

But I really like Jak & Dexter and I haven't played the other ones.



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.
