As a kid I didnt have wireless internet until well into the PS3’s lifecycle. This franchise was the first one I got invested in and loved, and I spent so much time playing around in it. I wasnt online at all, so I had nobody to talk to about with regard to my love of the series. In 6th Grade Social Studies I met this kid who also picked “Samos” as the Greek island he wanted to present on because he had also played Jak. This guy loved the franchise even more than I did, going so far as to eventually build his own custom skateboard with Jak and Daxter on it with some precursor flair. I think he even had a Jak statue on his desk in college, something to keep him going while he tried to get a degree in game design. The last time I saw him was while playing Pokemon Go with some friends during that summer it released. We were doing runs in the historic district of town, which this guy lived in, and we actually ran into him while he was out skating on his Jak board. That fall semester he was hospitalized and later passed away after being struck by a car on campus while boarding. When the ports came out for PS4, I made damn sure to platinum TPL for him. I always love when videos like this get made. It reminds me of him, but it also reminds me that there is so much love both in how this franchise was constructed and in how its remembered.

Fun stuff. I worked as a sound designer on Jak3. I remember spending a lot of time balancing out the quality of sounds that I could create with the amount of memory space allotted to be able to use them. All of the PS2's disc streaming resources were 100% allocated to graphics so we had to maintain pretty much every single sound asset in resident memory (around a paltry 500K) and a single load point for tiny level-specific swap-outs at the beginning of levels. Very challenging... even Daxter on the first PSP was more flexible in that regard. Then came the XBox360 and I never had to worry about that stuff anymore. It definitely made me a more clever sound designer tho!

The vision that naughty dog wanted to achieve of an open world platformer with high quality cutscenes and characters to drive the story was just....an ingenious idea....a revolutionary take on game. With every new Jack and Daxter game I personally feel they got closer and closer to their original vision. My personal favorite is Jack and Daxter 2 but I do think 3 was "the best" this was a time where every new development improved the quality of the series not milking the original story. Always they developed always they added more to bring that open world platformer to life. I grew to love and pity some of the characters. I cried when the journey was over. I replayed the trilogy as a whole at least 10 times over. This series....The progression of the series...it's beautiful. This was a different time and I am thankful to you for reminding me of my younger days.

"This shit plays like a Sasuke AMV looks" might be the best thing I've ever heard. And your analysis on Dark Jak has begged me to add some nuggets, as well. Jak didn't just harness dark eco, he sort of inadvertently became the new sage of it, at least in some semblance. In a world clear of those who remember eco's spiritual application, Jak, someone from the distant past, brings it back in its purest form as violence. Oppressive eco for an oppressive world.

(still have a hilarious story about learning about the lurker fish the hard way and my son's reaction to said lurker fish to share). which lead to getting Jak II and the huge surprise that it turned out to be! followed quickly by getting Jak III. to say this trilogy made a mark on our lives is an understatement. even to the point that in 2008 my son got a shih tzu dog and named him Jak and in 2011 a rat terrier and named him Daxter, who both lived up to their naughty dog status (Jak passed in Sept of 2020 :'( but Dater is still with us) my boys are grown but still love Jak and Daxter Thank you for making this video

The Jak trilogy is comfortable and had soul, I miss games like this. I feel like most of the games on the ps2 were passion projects and maybe that’s why it is the highest selling console. I hope we have games that we can play that make us feel like a kid again (excited to get home and play for the gameplay and story alone I mean). We really had the best childhood.

Another breadsword sword, another bout of tears. Seriously, your observations and the set up with which you present them, mixed with your perfect editing, sound and music choices and a narration that feels intimate - like I'm talking with a friend - always leave me with genuine tears at how beautiful story telling can be in all kinds of media. I had a very similar experience growing up with these games and they molded my own skills and preferences for storytelling so I was so excited and happy to see you talk about them. I urge you to never stop doing what you do, because it really does make people happy and your efforts are recognized. Thanks from a little kid who would always look out at the stormy sea from the docks of Rock Village and wonder about the world. 🖤

I often felt like Jak and Daxter was criminally underrated. It's my favorite video game series, followed by Borderlands. Jak and Daxter is also the first game series I was able to beat and complete 100%, so that's partially why it's forever a piece of my gaming heart.

I still haven't gotten 100% on the original, it's the 2 hardest power cells to get. The one right outside the spider cave where you have to get the yellow eco and shoot the box at the entrance of the cave and then the last big crystal in the cave. Never got to see the opening of the big vault because of it and only saw that scene because of the second game. 😭

It's a literal crime that Naughty Dog went on to exclusively do Uncharted games, like you didn't lose the rights to Jak and Daxter. At an time you wanted to you could make Jak 4, a _real_ *Jak IV.* Then they started The Last of Us, just to prove they can handle running to serieses concurrently... specifically to piss me off. Well, probably not me, specifically, I'm a Nintendo simp... but the broad demographic of people who enjoy platform games.

Jak and Daxter was incredibly ahead of its time, and an amazing series. It cemented, for me, Naughtydog as an amazing studio. Despite the recent TLoU2 blunders and drama,no one can deny that its actually an incredibly technically impressive game.

Instead I had Ratchet and Clank 3 and Deadlocked, among many other wonderful PS2 IPs like War of the Monsters. After playing them, I really wish I could send a message to myself in the past to get these games so I could have that nostalgia for them. Legendary.

Stuff like Jak and Daxter make you wonder if you went through the video game golden age and came out the other side as a teenager just waiting for the next big thing. The tank chase sequence and physical barriers is such a good point, it almost feels like a universal experience. There was a similar moment for me in Jack 1 but it was so longer ago that I forgot which part it was. Those games feel like they are so long in part because they literally spent weeks on my shelf as I tried to beat them

Daxter is my personal favorite video game companion/sidekick. If it weren't for his commentary/jokes in the 1st game I probably wouldn't have enjoyed playing it since Jak didn't talk. His spin off game actually shows that he is capable of being a hero in his own right and a comic relief character can have dramatic moments. In the 2nd game we actually got to see his and Jak's relationship develop and we actually see why they are such good friends/heroic duo. And the 3rd game brought their friendship to the test when Daxter stood by Jak when no one else would and he got his happy ending getting his glory, girl, and pants. Oh, and let's just all agree that the last 2 games aren't relevant to their story!

I can't quite put into words how heartwarming this video was. It was really lovely hearing someone expressing how much of an impact this franchise and games in general left on them. People should do that more often, just speaking about the things they love. Jak and Daxter is a series that's also very dear to me and I love it wholeheartedly despite all it's flaws. Learning to look past them and instead appreciating the things that were executed brilliantly is invaluable. Your video made me realize how much more I could still get out from this franchise. I hadn't even paid attention to many things you pointed out, like Baron Praxis only adressing Jak by his name, despite playing these games so many times. I guess that's an excuse to play through them again.

You so often remind me of the beauty in the small things. It's easy to lose that perspective as you get older, I think. Things become similar to each other. A game reminds you of another, characters fit archetypes, part of a soundtrack feels like something else. You've seen them before, heard them before, hundreds of times in different ways, and often things just feel like facets of the same whole. But the care you take in lining the pieces up is deeply, deeply moving. Jak and Daxter was a large part of my childhood, but I haven't thought about its place there in years. This video feels like the days I spent playing it with my brother, in a house that was too small for us all. So thanks

I never knew Jak and Daxter had Disney animators working on it, but it makes perfect sense now that I do! From the very first second I played that game, I loved the exaggerated squash and stretch in the rolls and jumps and punches, and to this day it's arguably the number one game I've played that pulled the animation principles off so well.

1:50:39 My man, the statues aren't talking about the sequel. They're pretty straightforward in being about the same game their in. The first one says that Jak has "the light within" and is the "true hero," which just means "yeah you're gonna save the day kid." The second one talks about how Daxter's form and fate has already been twisted by dark eco, hinting at how maybe Daxter's transformation isn't just physical. The third one says to seek the "pure light" aka light eco, "for within it's flame the answers reside." This is after Gol and Maia are (formally) introduced and identified to the characters, and is basically just saying that a "pure light" will solve their problem, which at the end of the game gets elaborated by Daxter saying light eco could maybe change him back, or be used to stop Gol and Maia. The answers to their problems, daxter's transformation, and the oncoming end of the world, lie in light eco. Granted, it's entirely possible someone writing the second or third game remembered these and made it a fun bit of retroactive forshadowing.

Because I was one of those who greatly struggled to get past the Demyx boss fight. And.. I'd be lying if I said that your speech at the end of the video didn't make me tear up a little.
