From what I've heard; the concept they went with for the 1st Jak & Daxter game didn't do so well. The American audience didn't find Jak or his universe very appealing and the same can be said for the Japanese audience, it was sort of a mishmash of both kinds of style which might explain why they went with the tonal shift for the sequel. Jak literally and figuratively felt like he had no voice.

Yikes, I'd never seen that concept art of Jak 4 before. I'm glad they decided they decided against it. I think I'll have nightmares about realistic Daxter now. Whilst I know a lot of people personally who really didn't care for the stylistic change in Jak II, I think ND correctly read the market and realised that audiences were growing tired of collectathons by 2002 and were hungry for completely open worlds. I personally feel that maybe it went a bit too edgy at times, but the high quality of Jak II and 3 meant that it didn't matter that much. The game's do suffer a little bit in retrospect, as the design of 3D open worlds was still a relatively new concept for a lot of developers. Haven city, particularly in Jak II, does feel a little lacking in things to do as you go from one mission to the next. This was improved in the 3rd game however, as they varied the locations you explore: Spargus city, Haven city, and the Wastelands. It often surprises me just how big Jak 3 is. Overall, I love all three games - even Jak X/combat racing despite how frustrating that game can be at times. I think ND did the right thing at the time, but nowadays I wish they'd unwind a little bit and return to they're sillier roots what with all the leaks I'm sure everyone has heard about by now, but I won't get into that here. Great video Vivi. :)

Unpopular opinion , I actually like tone shift from the first game to the second game. I don't think any of the tone styles is inherently better per see. But it is just on a worldbuilding level, I like it. To see the serene world of Jak And Daxter transformed into tore down world of Jak 2 was quite a twist. It also expanded the world in an interesting direction.

I like feeling if the first game. Ancient times, precursors, eco, nature and most importantly Sandover village was sound and well, compared to what happened to it in the start of second game. I got so sad and deppressed about it :-( I would like to see how second or just in general how, what jak abd daxter would do, if they didn't go with travel in time thing. It immidietly reminds me of this map that I git with ps2 copy, what secrets this beatifull world was hiding? I do not know maybe it would be different if Jak was talkative from the begginning or if they got with first, old concept and He woukd start talking in the next games, who knows. The only things that makes me sad about Jak series, is how people's attitude and environment changed. To Jak and Daxter TPL I can sit and play whenever I want, I can relax, meanwhile to other 2 I....I simply can not, it's quite opposite.

The other reason Naughty Dog would've struggled to make Jak for the PS1 is because they already had to hack the PS1 just to get Crash Bandicoot to work on that console, and a surprising amount of console power went solely into rendering Crash Bandicoot, as well as the levels which even with Naughty Dog's famous procedural generation techniques still had to be individually loaded (hence every crash game having a level selection area). The Jak games on the other hand had to have 0 loading screens (not including the initial loading screen), so ultimately a Jak game on the PS1 would've probably frozen on launch, or lagged like crazy.

Viví, the song in your outro for this video, what is it? So so many years ago I saw a music video here on KZread someone made of Jak And Daxter with that SAME song, and I remember Jak was turning to his light form as that song was playing the video. I’m talking almost a decade ago

Bro I was never weirded out by the changes of the series it all seemed so natural to me, the tone as the series went along felt like it be reflecting Jak's age as he got older growing up from teenage boy to young man, it definitely GTA III and Ratchet & Clank what influenced them, yo the series allowed for more deeper storytelling and mature themes, focus on gunplay and the third-person shooter genre, not everyone take these risks like ND did, yo u feel like the next games really expand upon what the first game had done I don't think I'd feel the same way at all if ND stuck to J&D 1's style for the series, Jak set up and layed the foundation for ND's future series like Uncharted, I love all three of those games, Jak II is my favourite outta the trilogy bro

I dont really blame them for going with the realistic cinematic route, since that what made them into a big AAA studio, the more expensive the game looks the more it sold, then more money given for the next project by the publisher, same can be said about Sucker Paunch because hardly anyone know about the studio until they made the Infamous series, and now they are working on Ghost of Tsushima which is a bigger project thanks to the success of the last Infamous game(sadly for me).

Jak 1 sold way more copies than Jak 2 and 3. So it really isn't clear that it was a good decision from a business perspective.

The grit meter made me think of something. On a semi unrelated matter you can tell they didn't really know what they were talking about when they said they weren't really up to "cartoony games" anymore since that ignores...literally everything in the series after the first game..?

To me, the big difference in Naughty Dogs games were sources of influence. The Crash Bandicoot games were pretty much inspired by various saturday morning cartoons, the Jak games were inspired a bit by comics but also by steampunk and cyberpunk style Sci Fi (there's a lot of steampunk in TPL and a lot of cyberpunk in all the other Jak games), the Uncharted games were inspired by hollywood treasure hunter films (Indiana Jones always springs to mind), and The Last of Us borrowed from survival horror films and TV shows.

This video just got recomened to me, but why does everyone in the comment section not understand the simple concept of Sony own's both the Jak and Daxter ip and Naughty Dog, so Naughty Dog can't just sell of the rights to Jak and Daxter

GTA, eh? It’s always usually the reason behind a lot of game influences isn’t it?

Like I always say, Jak & Daxter deserves a new passionate team. ND these days just really doesn't look interested and let's not forget the studio is not like before :/

It’s kinda like with the Sonic franchise. The Sonic games are bright and colorful, and Shadow The Hedgehog is the dark and edgy counterpart. Just like with Jak 2 and 3 to Jak 1.

I reaaally don't get the edgy narrative for 3. 2 definitely pushed for Jak to be eternally pissed off at praxis for his TWO YEAR LONG TORTURE. Jak 3 struck a good balance. Jak was a much more well rounded character, comes off a bit headstrong.

Honestly i hardly care why they did what they did, it was brilliant and i want more

Them not doing a Jak 4 cause it didn't feel right to them, fine. But why not a proper remaster, this series deserves so much more respect than it gets with these lazy ports. Especially on PS4 i expected it to get the HD treatment that Crash Bandicoot got. But no, instead we literally get to play the PS2 version running on an emulator, just on better hardware.

Edgy and level design tone (Jungles being bright and Deserts being dry and dark) I've always found interesting with Naughty Dog. Got to say though playing Jak 2&3 to the end I thought they were ok. But GTA vs. Jak 2 or Sunset Overdrive for tone, theme, setting and enjoyment has been tough for me (GTA being something I'm least familiar with only owning Liberty City Stories on PSP for cheap out of curiosity just recenty) as someone into bright games mostly but experiencing a mix of genres and tones out of curiosity and boredom I think they all are fine but nothing I'd come back to even compared to more bizarre or better fictional worlds. The Eco powers and world were great but the mission design just isn't something I find enjoyable to return to and I have only played them around 2012 besides briefly owning them much earlier.

@@VtnVivi The Jak series has been good for tone, eco powers/guns and world building but I find the mission design of open worlds from not only this era or modern games just not always being the most memorable or engaging. Just how they jump between side and main story I get confused with at times. But Naughty Dog have done a good job with them from what I do remember, they are impressive and deserve the praise. I do go for some open-ish worlds but usually linear games. That and while I used to own Jak 1&3 briefly I never properly had them until 2012 and played through 2/&3 to story endings not 100%. So some context and a better rewording. Also not having played Crash till Nsane Trilogy, only owning Crash Team Racing for some reason, Uncharted had for a while and Last of Us just not clicking with me so I don't have nostalgia or the same appreciation for them due to the time I played them. Still great video as always Vivi.

Must be unpopular opinion of mine but I really prefer the first game over the others. I tried getting into Jak 2 but I didn't like it

Naughty dog probably show us jax and daxter getting there head bash in part four

I would love to reboot/re imagine the j&d games, maybe like a open world rpg style taking eco to upgrade your stats like in TLF with you gaining new(or old) abilities as you progress and level up(blue eco used to power machines and increase speed, red to coat you in strength and fire, green to give you a boost in health or cure illness, yellow to give you or your weapons a ranged attack[dbz ki blast orsmall aoe blast on your spin kick], light to give...light and guide you through your journey[keeps you sane as dark is constantly trying to control you and make you evil], and dark to give you more power at the cost of health/sanity[more evil you become the more out of control and less willing to help others, eventually joining the big bad and ending the game if you are not treated with light eco]

I just can't my love for TPL with the rest :P

In all honesty, I know this is going to be an unpopular opinion, but I felt as if the Jak sequels were to Jak and Daxter as the Matrix sequels were to the original Matrix. By fundamentally changing the gameplay on a game engine not built with shooters in mind, they've made it exponentially harder and less enjoyable. If they decided to make a new GTA clone and left Jak and Daxter behind, I would've been all for that.

Given how they have gone with waaay more weird with their politics and have to have “No Fun” games with ultra grittiness and realism I don’t think I would want another Jak and Daxter game from Naughty Dog as I don’t think they would do the next game justice as they would probably kill off Jak in a brutal fashion like they did with Joel and replace him with either Ashlin or Keira because “Diversity”. So as much as I would like to have a Jak and Daxter Game I know Naughty Dog now would most likely just piss people off.

Not the tone change itself, but the multiple changes made to the series after The Precursor Legacy was indeed for the best. A lot of purist like to fantasize that Jak should have remained a colorful collect-a-thon, without guns and all that, but the series would have definitely sunken into obscurity, with likely not even a third installment. Not even a "darker" The Precursor Legacy sequel would have kept the series afloat, as tone alone isn't the only factor that'd contribute to the series success or failure. Anyway, then all the comments about bringing the series back would have started far earlier. It'd also have been way harder to bring back that style of platformers in this day and age, which again supports the argument for why the changes made to the series was for the best. The modern Jak has enough multi-genre variety to appeal to business healthy demographics if it was brought back. Developers can tell an engrossing narrative while also having strong gunplay, with strafing and everything, as that's the foundation the sequels set. Imagine if we were to instead live in the world the purist clearly want, wherein *TPL2* happened and Sony Interactive Entertainment tried to reboot Jak TODAY the way it happened . . .13 years ago . . . (a completely different time, mind you) for the series to hold its ground. Naturally, people would then expect for a collect-a-thon platformer *series* to return as a collect-a-thon platformer, since unlike the Jak we actually do have in reality, it never was a collect-a-thon platformer series; that only lasted for one sole game.

@@VtnVivi Those aren't good comparisons. Jak never even came remotely close to the fame and popularity that's associated with Crash. Spyro may have been under Crash as well, but like Crash and unlike Jak, Crash and Spyro are as popular as they are as a series. The Precursor Legacy isn't a series, it's a single game. With Jak's inferior popularity, it'd be even harder than it already is to bring something like that back for the long term. Remember, Sly and Ratchet(?) left the collectathon field two generations ago as well. People need to stop interchanging collectathons and platformers, too. They're two different things, even though they've often existed in the same game before. It's mainly the platforming aspect that's held up well and there's still a healthily market for, not pure collectathons.

Solid work all around, nothing to complain on the subjective parts, but there is something about your intonation and pronounciation that irks me. It's like you are from the U.S East Coast at the one beginning of the sentence, then from Poland at the mid-sentence. Like the way you say "privy" at 10.11 . 99% of humanity pronounces it as "pre-ve", not "praiwy". I really can't wrap my head around it. Possibly it's just my psychosis? This is not to be regarded as a criticism per se, i'm just baffled.

First the first time EVER i`m glad we didn't get Jak4. Until NDI fires Neil cuckman. Painful to have to say this.

I would prefer if it was just "another 3D platformer"... Jak 2 and 3 don't feel to me like Jak and daxter, the game was suposed to be fun, happy and beautiful. The they turn into a dark game with discusting and horrible places. If they wanted to change just make another game, not change the game we know, this makes me upset

I don't know if this is a regional thing or not, but I've always pronounced the Pri part of "Privy" the same way it's pronounced in words like "Principle" or "Pritt Stick". Now before anyone gives me hell, I'm not meaning to be a smartass or anything, I'm just informing.
