| Gamerace said: After dominating the genre last gen Sony has pretty much abandoned platformers with PS3 (aside from Ratchet). I think it's far too late in the gen to revive this genre on PS3. But I like Sly - I hope it does well. Would love to see Jak return as well. Never understood why Sony departed from what worked so well on PS2 (Jak & Dexter, Sly Cooper, etc) when they launched PS3. Even most 3rd party platformers skipped PS3 (Spryo, Crash, etc.) |
Ratchet has always been here throughout PS3. A little too much recently, in fact.
But I agree with you. I would have loved to see Ratchet, Jak & Sly continue on PS3 right from launch. Problem is, Insomniac could manage two franchises on the run at once, but Naughty Dog couldn't (until recently) and Sucker Punch are a pretty small team in general. And they all wanted to try new things with the new hardware.
It's promising that Sanzaru have appeared to continue where Sucker Punch left off while staying true to the originals. Bodes well for outsourcing the IP's in the future, you never know what might happen. Perhaps Mass Meda or Ready at Dawn or someone will be handed the Jak IP in the future.
And OT: I will be supporting it, when it releases in Europe :)
