Jak TPL Beta Differences: Part 1 - First Hub (September 2001 Preview)
Ойындар
The first hub has some differences, but most of them are barely noticeable. It gets better later in the build.
This is part of a series of videos showing the differences of the 'Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy (September 2001 Preview)' version of the game. There are too many differences, especially in the later parts of the game, so I have decided to show the differences in multiple videos.
The build felt wrong in 16:9, so I have decided to keep the game in 4:3 aspect ratio. But instead of stretching it, I decided to add a sidebar where I can write the difference that is currently being presented. I hope it looks cool.
The Cutting Room Floor article: [will be published after the build is public, TCRF rules make this necessary - but a nice article is ready for TCRF already]
Hidden Palace (download): [link will be added once the build is released]
Please keep in mind that some parts of this video were edited/made over two years ago. If you see some minor editing inconsistencies or mistakes, this is probably the reason.

lmao the pelican rocket is great, they should've kept that
The boat ride scene from Sandover to Misty Island reminds me of the game's first trailer (that trailer with the copyrighted soundtrack...) where the player is clearly seen controlling the camera that rotates around Jak. That's what surprised me in the beta. I'll wait to see more details in Part 2, it was interesting
2:08 I'm just picturing the level designer having an exec standing over his shoulder screaming at him, "THE GAME SHIPS OUT IN LESS THAN 3 MONTHS! GET RID OF ALL THIS DAMN GRASS BY THE ORACLE!!!"

Yeah it is a real weird change.
They really polished this game up nice
Class video waiting for next 🔥
The level of detail they put into such minor things . . .and the difference it made in the end. You'll never see that in modern game design. Everything is always "good enough."

Yes, these differences are mostly minor, and back then the game dev studios cared about refining every minor detail. As you said.

Yeah, modern games are like "uh, there's a lot of bugs and some weird things, but, who cares? Online stuff will make us rich 🤑 "
thank god they put a checkpoint at the end of fire canyon, now we can skip it!
I recently came across to a very weird version of Jak 2, with a control guide image when you boot it up, not voice over at all and everything is compressed to a .bin/cue format, do you know anything about it? It is also playable until the end with no issues, it's not a weird demo or something like that, it is really strange

@@Theburgerhole Just a bootleg, but a high-effort one.
I only wonder where's the additional orbs were located or are they visible only in menu/stats

The number of orbs you can find matches the number the menu shows, unless I specify otherwise. In later levels the orb count in the menu rarely matches the real orb count of the level, and I clearly specify this in those cases.
Siiiick
Daxter and the water were really better before, I find.
wheres the extra orb in the beach and sandover
