  1. no one should buy this on the ps4. in the ps4 bundle version, the games are just run on an emulator, it isn’t a remaster. hopefully someday they will do this the right way.

  2. I never liked sly as a kid. Even though i was only like 8 at the time I thought sly was too cartoonish and looked like it was designed for kids. I liked jak because it seemed more mature and had appeal even to older kids i knew

  3. Jak 2 was my start. I geeked when I saw precursor legends in a yard sell for 2 dollars! Got jak 3 and absolutely loved it the best! Jak x was depressing. But lost frontier was stunning and awesome.

  4. I'm just happy Ratchet and Clank Jak and Daxter and Sly Cooper are on the PS Vita so I can play them on the upcoming field trip to Evergreen

  5. I have a beautiful vision in mind, I recently got Crash Bandicoot the n sane trilogy on Switch, there's rumor Spyro reignited trilogy might come to Switch, and if that happens, I want this game to be next on the Switch and have a beautiful 3d performer collection.

  6. My God are you serious??? Comparing this mess to Ratchet and Clank? And then having the cheek to say this is better? lol Ratchet and Clank are some of the most visually striking games ever made and the controls are absolutely spot on, responsive, fluid and easy to master. I'm playing Jak 1 at the moment and came on here to see what other people are saying about it, because to be quite frank, I think it's a pile of shite. I can't ever say I've played a game with such clunky, heavy and unresponsive controls as this, the camera is abysmal and nearly always points opposite where you need it to be, making some of the jumps ridiculously difficult to get right. The vehicle that you get to drive feels like a lump of concrete and turns like a bus going in slow motion. The graphics are so old and dated and for a game apparently "remastered" for the PS4, it's laughable. Safe to say i won't be buying the 2nd or 3rd installments after playing the Precurser legacy one, I can't remember playing a game that's made me curse and swear as much as this. You'd have thought at the very least, remastering it would have meant refining the controls to make them more fluid and less sluggish. Nostalgia is definitely clouding peoples minds on this one.

    Plus, I've never got this whole obsession with "trophies", what do they matter? So you get a trophy that says you got past level 1, another that says you collected 200 eggs, it's barmy, you get nothing for them, no rewards, they enhance gameplay 0% and yet such a big thing is made of them, why? A completely pointless medium IMO
