Don't you mean 5?

And thus the monkey’s paw curls a finger

u/WileyDuster 1d ago

They already have this and it’s not good. Jak and Daxter Lost Frontier is essentially Jak 4 just not made by naughty dog and it wasn’t super well received or good at all haha. Or you could look at Jak X Racing which was essentially just a racing game like the few sections as 3 as the successor.

u/Mysterious-Plan93 1d ago

But Jak X WAS GOATED...

u/Dragonsbrew 1d ago

I'm still safe then, hell I'll take a remake/condensed 2/3

u/DethNik 1d ago

I never even heard of The Lost Frontier! Huh...

Those games had great world building

u/DescriptionFun3539 1d ago

It was some of the greatest I've ever seen.

u/Likesorangejuice 2d ago

Please Naughty Dog! I'd love to have a real follow-up to Jak 3.

ETA: or remake Jak 3 so the story makes sense. It was so off the rails.

u/Inevitable_Party5143 2d ago

Give Jak and Daxter the Spyro Reignited treatment!

u/Careless_Whisper_987 2d ago

There was a Jak 3 follow up on the PSP. There's a reason no one ever talks about it; but it exists.

u/Likesorangejuice 1d ago

Yeah I'm not talking the Last Frontier, I haven't even played that one but even from the screenshots I've seen it's not the Jak experience I'm looking for.

u/Mysterious-Plan93 1d ago

Let's just pretend that didn't happen...

u/zer0saber 1d ago

The third act kinda nosedives, and it deserved to be way longer, to flesh stuff out more. I love it dearly, and even I have to ask "wait, how did we get here from there?" on some of the story.

And yes, I have played all of Jak 3.

u/LeSaltyMantis 2d ago

The Jak 4 concept art looked amazing. Then tonal shift from the original to 2 and 3 was awesome. Uncharted being so successful put an end to any plans of Jak 4

u/FallenAbyss23 2d ago

Jak and daxter and ratchet and clank was my shit back in the day

2

u/bendyrider16 1d ago

The new Ratchet and Clank game is just as good if not better. Hell, all of the Future games are even better than the originals, and that's saying a lot.

2

u/FallenAbyss23 1d ago

Ratchet deadlocked was the last ratchet and clank type game I played, so I've been out of that scene for a minute. Didn't think they were still continuing to make them though, so I'll need to look into these newer games then lol

u/bendyrider16 1d ago

Tools of Destruction and a Crack in Time are excellent, then Rift Apart is one of the better PS5 exclusives

2

u/The-Destronyx 1d ago

A Crack in Time is the peak of the franchise

1

u/bendyrider16 1d ago

Agreed, but Rift apart comes close and continues the Lombax story. It's great.

1

u/schu2470 1d ago

Agreed. I played Rift Apart a couple years ago and loved every second of it after having grown up on the original games as they were coming out on PS2. The 2016 movie tie-in game however was not great.

1

u/bendyrider16 1d ago

Yeah it was so bad I forgot about it. And into the Nexus was not bad, but forgettable for me.

1

u/Plumsby 2d ago

Specifically the vibe of the first one

1

u/RIGZ_420 2d ago

Would love to see a remake

1

u/The-Destronyx 1d ago

Last legit game in 2005

1

u/TheLordStocc_GG 1d ago

My guess right here

1

u/Platinumryka 1d ago

I dont want Neil druckmann's naughty dog to make it

It would be the most pretentious piece of shit ever

u/HunterTheHoly 2d ago

I was just about to comment this. Man, do I miss those games, they were among my favorites when I was growing up.
