STICK3Rboy Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Source Jak and Daxter are back. No, this isn't an April Fools Day joke; no, this isn't another racing game; and no, this isn't another spin-off. This is Jack and Daxter: The Lost Frontier, the next chapter in the storied franchise. Set for a simultaneous release this fall on the PSP and PlayStation 2, the Lost Frontier picks up where the series left off and puts you back behind the controls of Jak in a third-person platforming/action/vehicle adventure. It's being developed by High Impact Games -- the folks behind Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters and Secret Agent Clank -- and described on the PlayStation Blog as a tale that takes our heroes "all the way to the edge of the world. There they must battle their way past air pirates and sinister creatures in their quest to find a cure for the world's eco shortage." Aching to know more than the basic facts Sony's been nice enough to dole out? Well, as luck would have it, IGN is going to have the first look at the title this afternoon. That's right, scope out IGN PSP or IGN PS2 around 3 p.m. PST today, and your socks should be rocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aftrunner Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 ^^ Yeah I wonder why not. Anyways will definately get this on the PS2 (assuming it gets released here). And here is a bit of gaming confession, from a platformer nut, I have never played a Jak game before. Figure I will get started on the prequels before graduating to this.

HundredProofSam Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 coz naughty dog wanted to do something more challenging with the PS3, hence uncharted....im sure they'll come around to a jak game on PS3 soon enough though peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeezNah Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 I don't think "challenge" is the right choice of words. All I see is that Insomiac's PS2 tech which was and still is impressive by today's standards is getting some use again, and now we get another Jak game in the less time it would take to bring it over to PS3. Hopefully the simultaneous release would imply that Lost Frontier on the PS2 will actually LOOK like a PS2 title, and not another botched PSP port ala Size Matters and Secret Agent Clank.

HundredProofSam Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 naughty dog wanted to do something closer to reality...in fact i remember them saying in an interview that with the PS2 hardware, it was a better idea to make the more cartoon-ish games with simple characters and environments, but with the PS3 they wanted to something more real....real environments, identifiable characters, etc peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarketTantrik Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 ^^ Hence Uncharted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeezNah Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 What I would love to see is consistency. There's no doubt that Size Matters was a decent attempt at bringing the franchise to the PSP, but it's still a heavily watered down version of the real thing. That's just fact. Having both versions released simultaneously would have me believe that High Impact Games will finally bridge the gap and make both experiences unique to their own respective platforms without the PSP version drawing the short end of the stick again because of some technical bullsh*t.
