Just let another studio make it.
Could Naughty Dog (or rather Sony) create a 3rd team that was Jak focussed? Aand looked to just keep the style from PS2 and see what sort of simpler story could come from not trying to adultify this franchise. The concept art in the OP looks terrible as new Jak art. The need to not look to further humanise him, go back to the character design concepts. take a leaf from Ratchet and Clank. Insomniac didn;t keep updating the character model to make Ratchet ever more human and dark and edgy. Hell why not go all the way back to the beginning, have Jak travel through some dark energy portal and he goes back to having no voice, and he's back in a pre-industrial reality where his weapon is just stones and a sling. Sometimes going back is the way forward. Hell do a whole Star Trek reboot.
Who in the Sony stable IS keen to make another proper Jak game? If there is a core of enthusiastic people, who have a history with the franchise then let them try.

YES!!!! :D
Why do people keep asking? This is not the first time they said they're not doing it, and I'm sadly sure this won't be the last. If I was hellbent on a new Jak & Daxter, I'd be asking for it to be developed by someone else. Insominac, Media Molecule, hell outsourced to a third party dev. Uncharted and TLOU were better received critically and commercially, and it's clear that they won't be returning to it for a while if ever.

I second this, but since they evolved into this, it's better to give Jak to other studio to develop. Like some people already pointed out Insomniac would be the right one.
Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won
Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon, Twisted Metal, Jak & Daxter, Ratchet & Clank, etc. is what made me love the first Playstation and PS2. The fact that a majority of these series aren't around anymore makes me sad.
Bring back Crash Bandicoot! Hell, I'll even settle with a Remake/Remastered Collection.

That said it themselves lol we can now only do realism. As in they are NOW a one trick pony. I'm not talking about games them made 15-20 years ago
Once Uncharted 4 ships, it will be full steam ahead for TLOU2 and a new IP.
