Game developers need to make more platformers!!!

@RespectTheLogos3 Год назад

Naughty Dog and Insomniac had a rivalry in the PS1 era with Crash Bandicoot on one side and Spyro the Dragon on the other. The competition continued into the PS2 era with Jak & Daxter for Naughty Dog and Ratchet & Clank for Insomniac. Crazy, isn’t it

@brettquimby3274 Год назад

And the Crash Bandicoot series proved that non-Japanese video game series could be a huge hit in Japan despite prior beliefs. Sadly, Spyro wasn't as successful in Japan due to poor marketing and the Japanese localizers botching the camera system. Ironically, the situation was reversed for Naughty Dog and Insomniac in the PS2 era with Jak and Daxter not doing too well in the Japanese market while Ratchet and Clank made inroads with Japanese gamers.

@malhaomalhoa7486 Год назад

Jak & Daxter and Ratchet & Clank were such a huge improvement by both companies.

@FastTquick Год назад

Meanwhile, Sucker Punch were in the background doing their own thing with Sly Cooper.

@JTD95 Год назад

Friendly rivalry*

@peterfreeman2380 Год назад

Like your comment, but I would write “rivalry” like this: they were contributing to the mutual goal-the greatness of video games as an art form established on one of the best consoles ever in PS1! Mario and Sonic-those were real rivals.

@ghostxplatinum Год назад

This truly was the golden era of 3D platformers! Some of my favourites include the Jak & Daxter, Ratchet & Clank, Sly Cooper, SpongeBob SquarePants, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro & Rayman games :)

I firmly believe that this was the Golden era of video games the PS2 era had no DLCs or micro transactions. Ratchet & clank and Sly Cooper will always hold a special place in my heart. I miss those days and PS3 era.

@KyleDontCare Год назад

Jak and Daxter desperately needs a remaster, like what happened with Crash Bandicoot.

@Demon-ft1th Год назад

Wrath of Cortez was the first Crash game I played, and I DEFINITELY want The Simpsons Game remastered, just so I can Platinum it.

@dreamguardian8320 Год назад

They managed to remaster Spyro the Dragon and MediEvil, so there might be a chance they might remaster Jak and Daxter in the future, I hope.

@dreamguardian8320 Год назад

Maybe they'll even remaster Maximo: Ghosts of Glory.

@hcsnake Год назад

Crash got a remake, not a remaster. I wouldn’t want that for the Jak series, but a remastered version would be pretty cool (although it technically already happened on ps3).

@KyleDontCare Год назад

@@hcsnake TBH, I think the N.Sane Trilogy was a remaster not a remake. It was mostly audio and graphics that were upgraded and they added CoCo as a playable character but, that's it. Level design is still the same and seeing Jak and Daxter getting a remaster on the PS5 would look way better than the HD Remaster on the PS3.

@dreamguardian8320 Год назад

Don't we all.

@jclkaytwo Год назад

there's still plenty of new 3D platformers coming out nowadays.

@Manic_Panic Год назад

There are plenty nowadays. Besides the Crash and Spyro remakes, we got Crash 4, A Hat in Time, Kao the Kangaroo (2022 reboot), Ratchet & Clank PS4, Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart, It Takes Two, Sackboy, Psychonauts 2, Yooka Layle, Tearaway, Klonoa remakes, Spongebob Cosmic Shake, New Super Lucky's Tale, Solar Ash, No Straight Roads, Fe, Demon Turf, Pumpkin Jack, Pac-Man World Re-Pac, Ty the Tasmanian Tiger Trilogy, Sonic Colors, Sonic Frontiers and I would count Gravity Rush and Dreams as well since many players have made custom 3D platformers using the Dreams engine. It's not as good as the PS2 but pretty damn good for a genre that was considered dead 10 years ago. I would also like to add Vodoo Vince, Super Cloudbuilt and Recore if you have a PC. Unfortunately these never came to PS4/5.

@jclkaytwo Год назад

@@Manic_Panic you mentioned all those games and still managed to exclude mario odyssey and kirby and the forgotten land 😭

@Manic_Panic Год назад

@@jclkaytwo Everyone knows those, I was primarily mentioning games you could play on Playstation 4 and 5. And a slight nod to some that didn't make it to Playstation at the end.

@gamerq1996 Год назад

Jak and Daxter and Sly Cooper were my absolute favorite games to play growing up and glad to see they made the list, couldn't count how many hours I invested into those games 😬

@chillvibed Год назад

For me it was jak, ratchet and sly. The 3 headed monster on ps2. I had to have clocked in hundreds of hours for all the games on ps2. I don't play games anywhere near as much anymore.

@FastTquick Год назад

I really do miss playing the Sly games. Thieves in Time was a blast to play on PS3. If only we ever got a 5th game for PS5. 😢 On another note, I’m all for all the original PS2 Jak & Daxter games getting remade for PS5 as well as getting a 4th mainline game. (The less said about The Lost Frontier, the better.)

@brettquimby3274 Год назад

I think the Jak and Daxter series should get rebooted and stick to the colorful, light-hearted tone of the first game.

@penguinbrony2415 Год назад

Agreed. Sly Cooper deserves a final game that wraps up the franchise. It's been 10 years since Thieves in Time, and 20 since the series debuted. It's time for one last adventure to wrap it up.

@swishersweets727 5 месяцев назад

@boredstudent Год назад

I played I-Ninja but on the Nintendo GameCube. It was actually my brother's game and he loved it. It's a shame that we never got a true sequel after Jak 3 (Jak & Daxter: The Lost Frontier doesn't count) but I really loved how Naughty Dog went from a friendly platformer to a game with a much darker plot. As for Ratchet & Clank, that series is still as great as it was on the PS2. One thing I love about that game is how it can combine dramatic scenes with humor.

@penguinbrony2415 Год назад

SLy 2: Band of Thieves is still my favorite video game of all time because it's so good. It's got the good mix of great platforming, good story, and great visuals making it one of the biggest forgotten gems of the PS2 era.

@abareamphibia6812 Год назад

It’s honestly amazing that Jak and daxter the precursor legacy has held up over the years so well, mean while jak 2 and 3 are nowadays being viewed as products of their time. Make me wonder how the series would of been had naughty dog not tried to jump on GTA popularly and stuck with what originally was

@bloody_outlaw8000 Год назад

Yeah because a 3d action adventure platformer, setting on a distopian future with flying cars is really what most games were back in the day.. people act like jak sequels are the only mission based games aside from gta..
