Yeah as great as this game is. It should have been longer in my opinion, with more levels. It would be interesting to see what other levels they cut from the game. Because I remember hearing they had more planned.

They definitely could have done a Mario and put another 20 power cells in the game, spread through Yosemite and whatever other few levels they planned. But oh well. That’s how time restraints go I guess.

Supposedly there was gonna be a village where we met the Yellow Sage, and we would possibly see the Lurkers taking the gigantic mother Flut-Flut away in the Sierra area, and also there was going to be a boss somewhere around this part of the game. But that's all I remember.

Sadly enough, I believe every Jak game was severely cut down from its original concept with 2 being the closest to the original idea if I remember correctly. Jak 3 was going to have a much grander story for example. Don't misunderstand. I love the games we got. They were my childhood and I still appreciate them for being some of the best games I've ever played, for shaping my tastes in games, aesthetics and storytelling, for being a major part of why I'm currently training to become a game dev, one of my goals being to create a game universe that feels as rich in lore as the Jak series. But man, I can't help but feel sad when I read those design bibles and see all the cool stuff that was never realized in the games. If only these games hadn't been annual releases. If they'd been allowed a little more time in the oven, maybe just like six months each or something, I'm sure they'd have gone from classics to masterpieces

As interested as I am in these cut levels, I actually really like the original game’s pacing and length. I think it ends just when it should, and feels just right for 100%.

Man, seeing cut levels like Yosemite really makes me wish that we got all of the levels outlined in the design bible. So many missed opportunities to make this game even better than it is, if only they had the time to pull it off.

The year is 2666, Jak 1 remake inevitably comes out, this level is included. Everyone now talks all the time. So many effects, your brain melts after 10 minutes.

Sadly Naughty Dog will never make a Jak and Daxter like this anymore it’s not in their best business interests! If they ever made a new Jak and Daxter it would most likely reflect some sort of realism! The only way we get a new Jak and Daxter in this style is crowd fund to get a lot of money for the game and get the original team that worked on it to create a new game. But then it would run into legality issues and potentially need to fight a law suit from Naught Dog

It's more likely the green sage had the green eco switch near his hub. Also I think there's some unused voice lines with daxter talking a about red eco switch.

Breathtaking, gorgeous, seriously dope! The inner child in me is screaming! 💯💯💯

Sad that they had to cut this level, seems fun once fully realized, also thanks a bunch for your hard work, hopefully we're gonna play the trilogy without weird bugs or abysmal resolutions

It would be cool if after activating the red eco switch, Jak has the ability to topple down trees with his punch. Could be used to create new platforms. Personally if I was a Naughty Dog dev I would have opted to cut Spider Cave and keep Rock Lake/Yosemite. It's a shame this was cut from the retail release.

This is insane. Keep up the good work

Brilliant work seeing this brings happiness to my eyes I wish they added this but I can see they had a fair time secudle I guess, but brilliant to see tlpl content keep up the good work 👍 you earned this powercell I mean like

I really want to see a mod where this is worked into the game as a finished level. If there's a bunch of unused voice lines they could add to it too, that would just be amazing.

Not that this game was shit by any means. Even though its one of my favourites of all time, I REALLY wish this game had been delayed so we could have had all the content that ended up being cut.

@@JM-nd9zf compare it to the other non-hub levels though. Nothing comes close to the Sentinel. This still appears like it would have been more similar to sentinel's scale than anything else. Only non exclusive level that you can use the zoomer is misty and thats a HUGE level in comparison to this. That lake doesn't look that big. He was able to climb around the level in a couple minutes, now compare that to something like spider cave, lost city, or snowy mountain, that each have so many branching rooms. I will say, it really does compare to the Forrest area in Jak 2.

Also another thing I wonder, if the cut content we know about WAS included in the game, would the total number of power cells still have been 101 and would that mean there would be less than 7 in each area or would there have been more than 101?

I think it's more likely that the 4 power cells the miners sell and the hidden one in the crate in Volcanic Crater were added to make up for the power cells lost from Yosemite. I think they always intended to have at least 100 power cells.
