Forums - Gaming - Will there be another Jak and Daxter or will ND concentrate on Uncharted?

They better we already know Sony got a trademark for Jak and Daxter the Lost Frontier.

Also wikipedia has a few interesting points:

"Future of the Jak and Daxter series

Initially, Naughty Dog hadn't had any future Jak games in the series, with only hints and comments providing clues to their decision. Co-President Evan Wells stated that the new technology in their Uncharted: Drake's Fortune engine may be used for a new Jak and Daxter trilogy, as well as saying that "there is a lot of interest around the office in going back to that franchise [Jak and Daxter] and seeing what we could do with it using the Uncharted engine." In mid 2006, more concrete details emerged when a trademark for an, apparently, possible future Jak and Daxter game was registered at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office called Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier.[3][4] Even later, several prototype game cinematics were also leaked onto the Internet featuring old and new game characters in unfamiliar situations (Jak has short-cut hair and, along with Daxter, is interacting with new allies and battling new foes).[5] However, Naughty Dog refused to comment on both.

Naughty Dog did not show up at the E3 2008 convention or TGS 2008, leaving many uncertain of what they were doing. But in a recent IGN interview with Naughty Dog's Richard Lemarchand,[6] he explains that "You won't have to wait too long for [the big revelation]." and that "We are working hard on something, and we haven't just been resting on our laurels". In December 2008 it was revealed that Naughty Dog was working on Uncharted 2: Among Thieves,[7] leaving the future of the Jak series uncertain."

I hope ND takes Uncharted to the next level and expand it's gameplay beyond just a linear third-person shooter.



 

 

 

if i had to choose, I would choose uncharted over any game .I like the game so much^_^



 

 

 

I would love to see a new Jak game, but if they stick to Uncharted it would not kill me. It would, however, be nice to see what they could do with the franchise with the power of PS3.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

You do know it is possible for a studio to have more than one team correct?

I've been in a few conversations about this and each one i get in an argument. This is the only post I' m leaving in this thread. Let Jak and Daxter DIE! They had there run and it was good, don't taint it. The only reason I would like to see them back is if there was some form of SSB using Sony characters.



CURRENTLY PLAYING:  Warframe, Witcher 2

I wish they'd expand and be able to do both.

If I had to choose one, though, I'd go with Uncharted.

After seeing Daxter's (lack of) quality compared to the PS2 games, hell no.

Also, Size Matters' lack of quality compared to Up Your Arsenal, Going Commando or Tools of Destruction, or hell, even Deadlocked.

Ratchet games on PSP weren't excellent, I agree, but Daxter is a gem!
