Ignore the orange debug text, I learned how to disable it in the next episode on! What theories do you have about Geyser Rock? Comment your theories below!
Honestly, even after playing J&D so many times, I never noticed that precursor robot. Thank you for the video, it was awesome!
I have played these games since they released and have beat the first game literally countless times. In all these years I have never noticed that that robot glowed at night.

I never noticed myself until I started doing research for this video all those months ago! Some of the best games have features like this if you ask me - new things that you still learn after years go by 😁
I require the next one. This was so good. I always loved the mystery surrounding Precursor robots.
My theory has always been that the precursor bots were made to handle dark eco safely after the whole dark maker disaster in attachment to make it "safer" but still useful.
Sitting down in work, Cork City, at 25 years of age thinking I really need to find out about those precursor robots. Keep up the good work man.

Been playing this game ever since it came out and honestly never noticed the Precursor Robots here until I started watching KZread videos about the series. Same with the Sentinels.

@@derrinmaloney1039 No doubt. The colours of the robots relative to the rocks certainly didn't help
My hobby is creative writing and I started a Jak and Daxter fanfiction last year. I just wrote a few paragraphs trying out a writing style to create something that captures this sence of mystery and everything that Jak 1 gives. I also love Jak II and 3, but always felt like I want to know more about the Precursor Legacy world. Now we have OpenGOAL and the wonderful Forgotten Lands mod. Maybe I'll continue my writing to finally publish something on the internet.

You've reminded me of how nice of a piece of music "Nara" is with this one. It might've been a bit overpowering as a piece of background music, but I still enjoyed listening to the ideas all the same.

They're mostly above the camera's field of view, one of those details you really have to stop and look around for! Kinda feel bad for whoever worked on them during development - all that work and so many people missed them 😂
We grew up poor. Got a PS2 because it was a gift from the cable company. My father saw Jak and Daxter, the Precursor Legacy and thought of me. We couldn't afford many games. But Jak and Daxter will always be wonderful to me.

These series will be awesome :D i cant wait for the next episodes! it's like going on this epic adventure for the first time, even after compliting it so many times.... Only on complaint is that the music is louder than your voice, which makes it hard to hear your narrative about the world, and i would really like to hear your voice more clear :) Keep up the good job this is a wonderfull idea

Right in the heartstrings
I'm going to be going through these videos, because KZread didn't recommend this to me so now I need to catch up on what seems like a very interesting series. First off, I don't know if you fix this just yet but the music is drowning out your voice a bit so it's hard to make out at times. The text on the pillars, and most structures really, says 'life'. Considering what's said in the design bible it'd be safe to assume this is because the precursors were supposed to be the creators of the planet, this text is everywhere to symbolise the overall goal of the project: To create, house and sustain life. Again excellent video, I am very upset KZread never recommended this to me.

Audio issue has been long fixed from the next episode onwards :) Most text in the game translates to life yes, but the pillars say "quest" and some other things like the pipes in Lost Precursor City say "pipe", and some eco vents say "strength" or "power" 😁 Let me know what you think of the rest of the series, thanks for watching 😌

I remember the discovering of the existance of the robots in the rock ,obviously from a low perspective, took me some years , but i had never seen the whole clear picture from high. These hidden robots always fired up my imagination about the lore of the game and why they were there, putting a great tone of mystery about this world. I"m happy seeing something new on this game after almost 2 decades , thank you for giving me that man!!

Hard to say! The only mention of his age ever said was when he was in prison in Jak II where he mentions something about "six rings added to his trunk", which could have meant six full years, or he was exaggerating! As for his original age, no idea - though I'd bet he is older than he looks, with green eco keeping healthy and vigrous far past his prime!
Just my opinion. Geyser rock, Fire Canyon, claw's lair and Volcanic creator. should be sitting ontop of a Super Volcano.
