Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier

Does that look too good for a PSP game?

Sony picked a really bad time to make a serious announcement (if it's actually serious).

They announced yesterday, on April Fools, that they were going to bring the Jak and Daxter franchise back to the PS2 and onto the PSP for the first time. The result is Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier, which is said to be due this fall.

After reading the Joystiq and IGN articles repeatedly saying "it's not a prank", I'm getting a bit suspicious. There are screens out and IGN already has a hands on. Call me paranoid, but this looks too good to be true.

You're paranoid. That screenshot does not look too good for a PSP game. The textures arent exactly high res.

I would look forward to playing Jak and Daxter though, I never got the opportunity to do so on the PS2.

the main problem that game might face is the camera angles. it will be harder to keep it where you want it, and it might get stuck like in other games.

From the hands-on, you use L and R to rotate the camera. So it might be decent. It'll handle like Ratchet and Clank and Daxter I'm assuming.

I'm really pissed. I was seriously hoping for a PS3 Jak and Daxter when this title's name was filed and this is actually kind of a let down Can Naughty Dog really only make one game every couple years?

I do have to wonder what Naughty Dog really does with all the development time. Insomniac can churn out great games on a yearly basis. I don't really see why ND can't really do the same.

This game seems like a downgrade from Daxter, and Jack and Daxter 1 for ps2.

You don't know that yet...

I think the series went downhill after Jak 3...

What about that screen shot makes it look too good for PSP?

 

[Cryox]

I don't think it makes it look too good for the psp. Hopefully it will be a decent game without the cheap short missions and cheesy storylines.
