Why I can't recommend the Jak and Daxter Bundle on PS4

What's up Jak and Daxter fans, Boomer here!
In my last video, I was giving a bit of a rant at the end and some of you seemed to agree with what I said. In case you didn't know, just recently, all Jak and Daxter games on PS4 received new patches. These updates didn't really do anything beside cause more confusion, especially for people in a PAL region.

Good video man. I’ll share my opinion since I am THE speedrunner of the PS4 releases. The limited direction input can be a pain in some parts but I can adapt to the movement like how you adapted to the input delay for PS3. The frame rate, I am already used to it again after the new patches and I don’t mind it that much because I understand that it’s emulated. For those who want to ask, I use a PS4 Slim and I’m on NTSC.

I personally want Jak and Daxter along with Sly Cooper to go in the route of Crash and Spyro with the HD remaster collection with polished up mechanics. Considering the imports to PS3 and PS4 are hardly remastered in HD in my opinion. I get it's cheaper to save time and money, but I would love it if companies went out of their way and actually did this so the next generation can experience it and give long time fans a return to a rich underrated series.

To think the game of my childhood isn't dead yet. Hell, it has its huge fanbase! It makes me really happy inside..

[kaylokiller]

I don't understand how the ps4 can have the worst version possible. They've released the game multiple times. Yet they can't get it right? Just incomprehensible

[ripbobbyhillmgo]

The thing that saddens me more than anything is that, for a lot of people in the future, the PS4 version will be the only reasonable way many people will be able to experience the Jak series so they will just settle for it. The most inferior version of these classics will be the most easily accessable and preserved for later generations because they dont produce PS2s and PS3s anymore. It didnt have to be this way. Jak deserves a lot better. Naughty Dog is a company that just abandonded Jak, and its kind of disrespectful to the fans how they come out and half ass the trilogy and X because just the thought of Jak remastered on PS4 would sell like crazy. If fan demand was that high and they really had to release these, why not take feedback from actual gamers who have played these games for like 17 years and put some time and care into one of your most beloved series of all time. But nope, thats too much money, they are probably too busy trying to make puddles in The Last of Us 2 look realistic right now lol.

The vita version is still the worst but that doesn’t excuse how the ps4 version was handled

[bobo]

There is one audio bug that comes to mind on PS3, some notes on Haven City’s walking theme in Jak II are missing.

[TheLWebb]

I want a FULL REMAKE of the Jak trilogy!

[dsseph]

2 years on, I greatly appreciate this video.
I only recently bought the PS4 remasters on PS5, and the camera controls, directional input, and crashing are all things I've noticed firsthand, and was surprised by.
I thought that my original playthrough was just misremembered, and that I had just gotten over the issues when I was a kid.
How wrong I was! I'm very thankful that this community and your channel exist, otherwise I may have just put up with the problems and treated things as if they were worse than I'd remembered. Much love, mad respect! Peace!

Oh i like the jak 2 city music background

[misanthropicservitorofmars]

My ps2 sat in the garage for a decade. Pulled it out. And started playing the jack and darter games on it. Still runs great.

[ddahlson]

Wish you would’ve shown examples of the things you said makes the game not as enjoyable as the originals. Other than that good video

[dcta]

Is it really that bad?? Its on sale on PSN right now and i would like to get it?

[crogthekritter]

Well you could say that the ps4 version isn't much of a remaster, but more of a modernization because of how glitchy and patch heavy the games are. Just like games that are coming out recentally :D

[jaydenmcfarlane]

I have a feeling the PS5 will be able to play this version, if that’s true it means this is Jak and Daxter’s legacy version.

This is why I think Naughty Dog wanted this release... it means all their games are available on PS4 and beyond.

[Dr._Nope]

Okay, unrelated to the bugs and everything, but I would absolutely LOVE to see the Jak and Daxter trilogy get completely remade on PS5 like the Crash N' Sane trilogy with gorgeous new graphics, fix legacy bugs, maybe even add new content like skins for Jak and Daxter. It'd be great to see this in the near future considering the series' 20th anniversary is in 2021.

[dezmin]

I got the bundle around 2 weeks ago because I never played any Jak or Daxter game. So far I’ve complete Precursor Legacy and it’s in my top 5 favorite games, can’t wait to play the rest

[tabreezsiddique]

I've seen a few videos going over how the bundle was nothing more then a simple cash in before the release on PS4 but I didn't think Sony could screw up these games in the way that they did and it is really disappointing since this could've actually been the best way to play the games nowadays but instead they just threw in whatever they could and just went with it. Great video and it goes over all the right points. 👍

[devastatheseeker]

I think most of this is really just nitpicking. If you have a ps4 and don't have a ps3 or ps2 go ahead and buy this because it plays completely fine. I platinumed every game and had little issue with any of them. The only issues coming up being ones that i already had when i played them way back on ps2

[Matt_-]

For my limited understanding It's really taxing playing PS2 games on any system that obviously isn't the PS2 itself.

The emulator has to actually recreate a PS2 system on a different device, so the actual work that the console ( in this case ) has to do is emulating the operating system and on top of that run the game in it.

That as can you imagine, can cause a whole lot of problems
