Limited Run Games producing a Jak IV Case and PS4 theme for a game that doesn't exist, limited to those who own all LRG Jak releases
- Thread starter awake4ages

They really didn't want to make Jak4. Thats the only reason I can come up with because of how disconnected that concept art looked.
Jak 2 is fantastic/
OP
OP
i was suddenly very concerned with all the people yelling fuck OP that I did something wrong LOL
Lmao that looks great. Was that really going to be the designs for them in the cancelled game? They're not good themselves of course but as a goofy ass realistic looking spoof boxart, it's great.
Oh, no, those people were yelling at you.
:P Just messin' with ya.
The other title was 'Jak and Daxter IV boxart revealed (+ PS4 theme)'
Come on, it was the only chance I'd ever have to put that as a title :(
Yeah I know, Jak 1 was a breezy fun SM64 knock-off that was a great technical showcase and had a charming cast of characters. The series progressively got worse as it went on.
I think it got better(well I like Jak II more, I'm iffy on III) and even I hate this concept art.
I don't dislike Jak II but the world was less interesting to explore and it really didn't need to be a GTA clone. I was hoping at the time they'd expand on the platforming because Jak's moveset was already a step backward from SM64 but instead they just gave him guns.
I don't get this... Jak II took many more leaps and bounds in combat, level design, enemy design, non-linear story, various environments, great vehicle mechanics and an actually compelling story.
I love Jak 1 as much as the next guy, but the vitriol against II onwards is odd.
Also 3 has more holes in its plot than swiss cheese.
It's easy - the game is a cynical attempt to cash into GTA3 and it's not the direction that a lot of people wanted it to go. It doesn't make it a bad game though.
Also, I don't think non-linear story means what you think it means. Do you mean mission design?
It's kind of tongue-in-cheek cause that's Naughty Dog's MO when making games now :P
Jesus christ... games can now have cynical attempts "cashing" in on trends that are occurring in the industry.
Guess when FFXV went open world, it was just "cashing" in on the whole open world design... seems like you lost the ball on identifying whats cynical and what isn't...
What part did I say open world? I'm talking about the fact they put carjacking into a SM64 clone.
But sure whatever, keep having the argument you imagine that we're having.
GTA 3's main draw and attention was on the grimey OPEN world that has a bustling NPC population with drive-able vehicles... your shitting on a game for drawing from another...
...and sure there was a quick switch in themes between the first and second but everything it attempted in the new world wasn't half-assed nor was it poorly done. Like all Naughty Dog games, there was polish, heart and enjoyment in that game, more than I ever found in the first game.
so I really don't understand this at all...why would ND/sony give them the go ahead on this? it's really very confusing
This pains me, as Jak 4 is probably my number 1 wanted game of all time. It's the reason I have intentionally not touched TLoU or Uncharted. I know, they're great games and I shouldn't miss out, but it's on principle. When I see Jak 4, I'll finally play Uncharted and TLoU. If that means I may never play them, so be it.
If THAT is how they envisioned the next Jak was gonna look then I'm glad that Naughty Dog canned it.
Why you gotta twist the knife LRG? Is this because I forgot to buy the Jak 3 physical copy from touch guys?
I hope Jak is next in Sony's remaster or sequel list on PS5. Just take whatever Insomniac uses for Ratchet engine, hand it to another studio and make Jak 4.
sly too, but at least that got a sequel this decade.
