We were just jumping up and down on the bridge and marveling about how it reacted to Jak jumping on it.” – Charlotte Francis / Senior Technical Artist / Naughty DogĬoncept art for Jak, the courageous primary hero of the franchise.
“I remember being really excited about the physics that had been added to the rope bridge by the programmers, because we had rope bridges on Crash Bandicoot, but they did not have physics on them. It wasn’t easy!” – Evan Wells / Co-President / Naughty Dog “The biggest thing I learned was the challenge of designing an open world game without using load times! We set out from the start to design a world and not levels like we were used to coming from Crash, and we made it a rule that if you could see it you could walk (or boat or fly!) to it and that when you reached a building or cave that you could go inside and that the inside would have to fit within the space that the exterior could support. To mark the anniversary, we’ve invited friends from PlayStation Studios and other third-party studios to reflect on the milestone and share their first memories of jumping (and double-jumping) into the world of Jak and Daxter. I personally have fond memories of collecting every last power cell and hovering in the fantastical Zoomer vehicle. Despite this first title’s focus on platforming, it’s impossible to overlook Naughty Dog’s signatures, including fluid character animations, richly detailed worlds, and engaging cinematics.
#Jak and daxter ps2 get to misty island series
Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy inhabits a fascinating place within Naughty Dog’s gameography, fitting between the pure platforming goodness of the Crash Bandicoot trilogy on PlayStation and the blockbuster adventures of Nathan Drake in the Uncharted series starting on PS3. This first game focuses on satisfying platforming, power cell discovery, and the origins of Jak’s story, told with cinematic flair. True to the “precursor” moniker, this platforming debut predates the duo’s eventual forays into open-world exploration, desert-bound mayhem, and racing exploits. Naughty Dog’s Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy launched on PlayStation 2 on December 3, 2001. Believe it or not, 20 years have passed since a certain courageous teenager and his plucky ottsel sidekick entered our lives.
