>>381699798
He is contemplating committing an act of murder involving the man referred to as "Praxis".

I'M GONNA FUCKING MURDER PRAXIS

I believe, with that statement, Jak was implying that he was very frustrated by the actions of Baron Praxis and was going to display those emotion by ending his life.

He was determined to carry out violent actions that would result in death upon the Baron.

>says he'll kill praxis
>praxis gets killed by Kor instead

>>381702389
Pretty common cliché in revenge fiction; the person seeking revenge often loses their chance to someone else.

Praxis did nothing wrong.

>>381703121
He overthrew a more competent ruler and tried to crack open an egg with a nuke.

>>381703121
He actually literally did nothing wrong. The Dark Warrior program was a solid countermeasure against the metal heads and nuking Kor was perfectly justified.

also his daughter was smoking hot

>>381705404
Except the nuke would have killed everyone in existence, not just the metalheads

Keira's voice was shrill and annoying. It is the only reason I don't like her, every time she is on screen I had to mute it. How did you like it?

>>381708507
Exactly. And then they realized it doesn't make ANY sense, and will make any future games impossible. So they backpedaled.

>>381708767
Fuck you dude it was cute and fit the tom-boy character

>>381708767
Her voice is okay. And did not sound like Tara Strong.

>>381708767
Because it wasn't that bad, it was cute.

>>381708907
I doubt that's the reason. They weren't trying to make sense, just be fun. And all they would have to do is just show if Jak was THE Mar, or if he just helped inspire the legendary figure and wound up getting mistaken as him.

>>381707116
I'm pretty sure the writers changed for Jak 3, Precursors were never originally intended to be Ottsels (they mention this in the dev commentary you unlock) and Jak 3 really doesn't flow on from Jak 2 very well: a ton of new characters and concepts, dropped plot threads from Jak 2, completly changed Jak's love interest and generally a terribly flowing story (member when Jak says he's never going back to Haveb city and then the next mission is him going back to Haven City the long way, seemingly without knowing where he's going and then is happy to be back?)

It really seems like they were setting up another time travel jump where Jak would fight the metal heads in the past and become the founder of Haven City.

>>381713909
Well Amy Henig, the woman behind Legacy of Kain joined in, and I would assume that's when she and Druckman started writing together. Obviously, the two just don't know how to do lighthearted stuff like J&D.

>>381713909
>never going back to Haven City
The very next thing in that cutscene was Ashelin giving him the symbol of Mar and saying something like, "Remember who you are." (even though she intended to mean that as "the person who discovered all sorts of cool shit about the precursors and mar and the city's history and how all of this stopped my madman fucking father")

One of the problems is Jak didn't show the right amount of emotion to this, nor was there any indication from him or daxter along the lines of "You know what... she's right... let's go back." Plus I'm pretty sure he had to use the catacombs to get back to Haven City. He couldn't walk in the front door because LOLBANNED and was already interested in the catacombs. But yeah, if you can go back and watch the scene and you'll see a little hint of regret or admission from Jak that he needed to be back.

Honestly have to wonder if they did have plans for the two or not. On one hand, Samos' comment was a family-friendly way of keeping the rating where it was since that was just a ways before ESRB started being more flexible with the E ratings and what they could say/do in them. But on the other, it would have been interested to see what further dark eco exposure could have done, especially if they realized Jak was infused with the stuff like they had been

That part always fucks with me. Actually, your interactions with the side characters don't really make you connect with them somehow. Kliever is just a bum and Damos is supposed to mean a lot to jak in the end but I didn't really feel they spent that much time together.
Making Errol the main baddie was also a bad call. There wasn't any foreshadowing at all; that guy was blown to shit and we saw it. Did he build himself? How did he learn to build an army of robots? The dark precursors aren't interesting because they're just kinda there to point the plot towards something, you don't even fight them until the end or interact with them otherwise. There isn't even any lore tied to them other than 'they touched the bad goo and now they're bad'
jak3 has the best mechanics and locations, but the plot/story is disjointed as fuck

>>381711365
It was never a plot point, just a reference to an earlier script for Jak II. The Mega Scrapbook and cut voice files for the Jak II UK demo disk contain some of the cut lines.

Errol might have worked if he had been made into a monster like Jak rather than a cyborg. Or, he first appears all mutated and deformed, then augments himself to curve the more uncontrollable parts of his mutation. As it was, yea, he was a pretty lame follow up act to the Baron and Kor.

The plot never really was the series' strong suit, it was the comedic writing of the characters and the charming, Disney-like art style.

Speaking of Disney, wasn't the head designer fired from them? I recall something about a bunch of artists getting laid off back around that time, but can't recall who went where.

>>381717391
Someone from Disney who worked on Aladdin was hired to show the dooooooods at ND how to do animation properly.

>>381718529
Maybe that was it. I vaguely recall an article from PSM or whatever talking about the animation and how they were striving for something more fluid, but with the "bounce" of a cartoon given that before, things like Crash and Spyro could only simulate so much with the PS1's hardware.

Things pretty much got thrown out a window starting with Jak 2 and how it didn't quite gel with Jak 1 for many. While I enjoyed it, I won't deny that the tonal shift could have been handled better, and it did feel like a lot of things from the original were just cast aside (such as the people of Sandover, and Jak's uncle). As for 2 an 3, there wasn't too much wrong with continuity, just that plot of the third didn't feel as well-thought out. Jak is suddenly thrown out by someone who has overruled Ashelin's authority (even though she was pretty much the fucking queen of the city), and Jak once more being moody about being an outcast when he could have just been "Guess I'll go adventure in the wastes, call me if you guys need a selfless hero, again."

Eh, they were still pretty fun as a kind of arcardey shooter, just running around and blasting things. Might not have had the robust arsenal like R&C, but it was still pretty fun mixing punchies with gun blasts and then doing kicks and spins.

If they ever were to do another game, I'd love to see them expand on the combat.

I'd love another sequel PERIOD. I mean, is it really that hard to declare [that game] non-canon, and think of another story? Surely, the world is rich enough for at least 5 cool new stories.

>>381739995
Seeing as how Insomniac pretty much has never mentioned the two PSP R&C games, I don't see why ND couldn't do the same with Jak 4 and pretend Lost Frontier never happened.

>They're experimenting, trying new things.
Jak games were more experimental, being a mix of racing, platforming, and third-person shooting. ND has since settled on pushing out average TPSs with above average narratives. There's no mystery about what they'll do next. They're as safe as it gets.

>>381740797
That's a side game, not the 4th.

Looking back, didn't they say in lore that both the Precursors and Metal heads were space faring races, and that their war was waged across an entire galaxy? Wouldn't that also mean that Kor isn't the leader of the entire metal head race, just the ones occupying Jak's planet?

I think they implied that the bulk of the metal heads still existed in space.

Also, the metal heads were the enemies of the Precursors before the Dark makers existed right?

>>381742996
Solid enough. Not quite perfect (it wasn't done by Blue Point), but it plays fine enough with only some glitches and issues, namely Kor going blackface.

>>381742996
Some texture problems here and there, but overall good.

>>381742707
They didn't seem to be after Precursor stuff, so I don't think they were enemies but rather just ignored each other. And I don't know why, but I always enjoyed the Metal Heads even when the game first came out.

No wait, the Oracle was saying that the 2 groups were fighting, but given how it wants Metal gems for payment, the Precursors were probably the instigators.

When you replay 3 AGAIN, listen to the scene where they first speak.

Jak: "You need to work on making a beter first impression!"

And what was the first impression of Jak that we got in 2 after TWO YEARS?

>>381749109
Pretty different circumstances though. Jak was tortured for 2 years straight and pumped with a toxic substance. Deimos just brewed in the wastes and hardened himself from the probably nicer king he was back in Haven.

When I first saw that scene I wanted to gut him like a fish, but now I appreciate that scene alot. He's the type of villain you love and hate at the same time, and that's the best kind of villain to me.

Ive replayed jak 2 at least 10 times and I still do it like once a year.

Fucking love that game. Idk why but platformers combined with shooting are a genre not explored enough.

Probably why I like scout so much in TF2

>>381752919
Jak II method of merging shooting with platforming is often criticized for being awkwardly done, and not really working.

I personally think there is no better way to combine platforming with guns WITHOUT making it a 3rd person shooter with occasional jumping. In my opinion, the Jak II formula is unique, and definitely deserves to exist.

Yeah third person is probably the right way to do it or be able to switch between view perspectives like in serious sam.

It would be my dream to make a shooter platformer that's like a cross between DOOM 4, Croc and with a tense horror atmosphere like Amnesia the dark descent

I am going to solve this mystery right here, right now.

Keeping your mouth closed is a very basic habit, but one that takes years to cultivate and a lot of effort to pull off. You really need to be a disciplined, strong individual to not have a fish mouth. Guess what types of people end up on THAT ideological spectrum. The low effort lazy ones with no self control.

Im just hoping the remasters comes out on time this holiday.

>>381754010
Pretty sure it's the stupid cunts trying to give a look of "constant disdain", and are unable to realize it just makes them look straight up retarded.

>>381753772
but the reason why amnesia is so goddamn tense is you have NO weapons, let alone any means to defend yourself, other than running at a meager pace. Sure, the setting and way the monster stalks you is harrowing as hell, even if predictable, but when you hear that noise around the corner, having a weapon vs. running means you'll think "oh fuck, here he comes, i'll defend myself now" vs. "FUCK, WHAT DO I DO, HE'S GOT ME FUCKING CORNERED, THIS IS WHERE I DIE"

>>381754440
I will accept your theory, but still keep mine.

>>381754237
PORTS, not remasters. PS2 games being emulated on official hardware.

I maintain that for older franchises to get sequels, original first games need to be released on newest consoles first. Emulation means that games will no longer require to be ported again and again, each version getting more bugs than the prior. These games could be released on PS5, PS6, PS9000........ and cheaply. After the PS2 originals are released on PS4, then will be the time to ask for a sequel, IF they sell well.

>>381754570
There's pros and cons to horror games where you have no weapons. Amnesia banked on giving you a very limited number of resources, each with intended purpose while telling you to book it for everything else. And it worked.

The con comes from nearly every game thereafter ripping that bit off and thus killing the novelty and in some cases making it contrived as hell that so many protags can't just pick up a fucking bludgeon of sorts and defend themselves.

Then you have normal horror games with guns, like RE7, and as Yahtzee said, "Sometimes it's good to have a 'Fuck off!' gun", because it means you can manage a situation how you want, but still have consequences like not enough ammo for that particular weapon. Granted, modern horror like RE7 still suffer from not quite getting their resource levels just right where you can really cripple your chances by being frivolous with your ammunition.

>>381754570
You can make it so some things you have to run and some things you can fight but you never know when such things are going to happen.

>>381758918
Original plan: ND makes it. Originally conceived for PS3, Sony decided it to be a PSP title. They were making some progress with it (like several levels and cutscenes somewhat done), when the decision was made to kill the game, since Uncharted was more important. They were having problems with PS3 programming, BUT it is a pet theory of mine that by this point ND did not like J&D much anymore (interestingly, at this time they have lost about a 3rd of the original programmers who were leaving in droves). The project was scrapped.

Then Sony decided to UN-scrap it, and give the project to the highly incompetent masters of mediocrity, High Impact Games. With minimal, low effort "assistance" from some ND members, the game was unleashed upon the world in late 2009. It was technically a poor mess (with some good ideas), and the story felt like somebody's incomplete rough draft interpreted by someone who didn't know shit about Jak & Daxter. The story (again, with some good ideas) shat all over what came before, there are plot holes, and the dialogue is heavily lacking.

>People think Jak and Mar are the same person
He was just named after him, guys. Fuck's sake.

>>381759527
The legion of hyper-autistic "TRUE Jak & Daxter Fans™" will have to disagree with you (after sending another 10 letters to ND to make Jak 4 where Jak becomes Mar).

Repeating what was stated earlier, Jak WAS supposed to be Mar in Jak II, but the was scrapped and never revisited save for the ONE joke line from Ashelyn. How do I know that? I beat II on Hero Mode, and unlocked the Mega Scrap Book. I also listened to every single cut dialogue from the UK Jak II demo disk. Jak being THE Mar is literally an erased plot point, scrapped and thrown away never to be canon again.

>>381711924
I managed to finish all 3 on the emulator and I had an I5 and 4 gigs of ram. Unfortunately it's a decision between messed up shadows and fucked up textures but it's fine you just need to find the right settings.

>>381759739
>Jak being THE Mar is literally an erased plot point, scrapped and thrown away never to be canon again

Then that just proves my point. Damas was the king of Haven City so he named Jak after Mar.

>>381760227
Unfortunately, a shitload of TRUE Jak Fans keep sending 10 messages a day to ND to finally make Jak Mar. They are a VERY vocal minority, and I am genuinely afraid they might influence the writing in a potential future sequel.

>>381760583

Unlikely to happen, hopefully.
