Join Us For The Deepest Dive On Jak And Daxter!
Added 2022-07-07 15:09:35 +0000 UTCWe're creating the best, most thorough discussion about Jak and Daxter on the internet and we need your help! Join The Deepest Dive and submit your comments on Naughty Dog's classic platformer for us to read during our game club discussions. The panel consists of Ben Hanson, Jeff Marchiafava, Janet Garcia, Charles McGregor, and YouTuber MysticRyan! Jak and Daxter is available on PS2, remastered on PS3, and you can play the PS2 version on your PlayStation 4 or 5... and it's available on PlayStation Plus Premium as well. We're breaking the game up into two parts for two discussions, the total game is roughly 10 hours long. We'll be collecting your comments here on Patreon.
July 13th - Stop playing when you get to Rock Village
July 20th - Finish the game
We'll be streaming our discussions on Twitch (which you can follow here) on Thursdays at 11am Central. You all voted for this on Twitter (as seen below), so any help sharing the announcement with a friend is appreciated!

2022-07-13 14:14:58 +0000 UTCIf this is where comments for Deepest Dive go... I was a Nintendo kid growing up and I never played the Jak and Daxter games. I find the side characters weird and charming with goofy animations that remind me of cartoons from the time. So far I have very little of an idea what's going on story wise but I'm on board. From the very beginning you can see how this is the evolution of Crash Bandicoot...and that's a good and bad thing. I find the physics and level design fun and engaging to a point, but the platforming can sometimes leave a lot to be desired, especially compared to Mario or even Banjo Kazooie from the previous generation. Some may find the collect-a-thon design to be outdated but it brings me back to the prime of 3D platformers and I'm enjoying the nostalgia trip. All in all I am having a ton of fun and look forward to the next part of this deepest dive.

2022-07-08 16:10:38 +0000 UTCWas let down by this pick until I discovered the recent PC fan port which is just phenomenal. Maybe the best PS2 port I've ever seen. Game looks and plays so good at 4k/60FPS

2022-07-07 15:35:40 +0000 UTCI think I can keep pace with this one—Im still working on Chrono Cross 😅. Looking forward to revisiting J & D!
2022-07-07 15:14:45 +0000 UTCThe 3 game bundle on ps4/5 is 19.99 where as the 1st game is 14.99 by itself. FYI https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/UP9000-CUSA02522_00-JADBUNDLE0000001

2022-07-07 15:12:56 +0000 UTCSo hyped for this I have an obscene treasure trove of absurd trivia about jak and daxter. I'm desperately hoping for a follow up with the sequels, it's insane the amount of stuff they add with each new game. In the third game you can literally, skate, make objects float and freeze time 12 years before Breath of the Wild did!
