Jak and Daxter was always my least favorite the cartoony platformers from the PS2 era. I preferred Sly and Ratchet.

This. I never understood the Jak and Daxter hype. Sly Cooper and Ratchet & Clank were way better

Me either. I consider Uncharted a parody game of Indiana Jones. Now Last Of Us I consider ''Mature'' though

Hmmm.....Uncharted and The Last Of Us have plenty of color.

 

I get some of the griping, but I'm happier seeing them do what they want. Can feel it in each and every game they release.

Indeed. It seems like people who have gripes or looking into something to complain in those statements, are people who barely ever (if at all) played any ND games. 



Go figure.

I don't know about other people but I've played every Naughty Dog game they've made. Uncharted isn't mature imo and it's barely more mature than Jak 2 and 3. Mature in my book doesn't mean cartoon style to the game either.

I wish they could do both. Give variety to their library. Uncharted and The Last of Us look so similar in style and in gameplay. A platformer would be great, but ND seems set in their ways. I loved TLOU (own it), but I thought it looked and felt like an Uncharted. But hey, both series doing great sales, so I guess ND won't fix what aint broke.

And the implication that a realistic graphics game is more "adult" is just silly. The Uncharted series wasn't art. In terms of story telling (which is what ND seems to be relying on more and more), the games were a little bit behind the typical action-packed popcorn flick. And even so, the cutscenes didn't match the gameplay (think Indiana Jones CS with Rambo gameplay). That doesn't seem mature to me. If it is, it's only on a shallow level.

Something like Wall-E was way more mature than the latest Transformers flick, so I would love if ND could do a game with an aesthetic that wasn't similar to Uncharted/TLOU but still had an expressive and charming story that actually matched its gameplay.

Serious, "grown up" stories cannot be told without realistic graphics? That's BS and very disappointing to hear. Sounds like ND are the ones in need of growing up.

Where did he say that? At most he implies that their current style makes it easier for them to deliver more "grown up" stories, and i'd agree with him on that front.

Which is still nothing like Jak & Daxter.

You won't regret it! One of the few franchises of the PS2 era that I felt try to retain that 3D-platforming feel from the gen prior.


how does compare to Sly cause i love those games and want to know how Jak is in comparsion?
