Jak and Daxter Collection

Jak and Daxter Collection Review

Light on features, the Jak and Daxter Collection is likely to have limited appeal.

Jak & Daxter Collection has been a long time coming. Given Sony's track record for HD remasters and Naughty Dog's rise in popularity thanks to Uncharted, it was surprising that these PS2 heroes hadn't been given the HD treatment earlier. Even odder, the game has been an extremely low profile launch for Sony, as they have done very little to promote the title and its availability is still extremely limited. Being that the collection is completely devoid of bonuses, and next to no clean up work has been done on these aging classics, it's not entirely surprising that Sony is giving this one the silent treatment.

Jak and Daxter HD Collection Officially Outed

Naughty Dog's platforming dynamic duo returns in February.

Last month we reported that there were some indications that Jak and Daxter were going to get the HD update treatment and be collected into a single package on the PlayStation 3. Today we can confirm this rumor as Evan Wells, co-president of Naughty Dog, wrote in the Official PlayStation Blog that the Jak and Daxter Collection will make its debut in February.

Jak and Daxter Getting an HD Collection?

The beloved PS2 mascots could be getting a 1080p facelift.

While it has been a big year for video games so far, one thing that stands out is the ascendance of the HD re-release. 2011 has seen Beyond Good & Evil, Resident Evil 4, and Ico/Shadow of the Colossus already released, and that doesn’t even take into account the upcoming releases of Metal Gear Solid and Silent Hill.
