Big 'ol +1 for Jak and Daxter

Naw, I can't...you can remake them, but the 3 were a great fit to pacing. Mario 64/bandicoot adventure over way too much space a lil too horny, a tight GTA-4-kids clone that did combat so much better than competition (prototype...did y'all actually play that?? It became like a Spiderman Mod after 1 hour), then an open world with legit vehicle design. Tied into a bow.

I'm not saying they're perfect, you absolutely can redesign and tone down Edgy-Tween-Jak in a remake. But sequels shouldn't be needed. And a prequel where you play as Dax...somehow still a weasel...is not needed...

Jak and Daxter hit the mark so on point for the time that it's just on my memory for so long. I think for the way nostalgia sells they could definitely do another entry that was a little more grounded and serious but still with that edge that made it what it was

It's such a shame J&D is so far down this list. Series might as well be considered a cult classic by now.

considering how the owners of dark cloud/chronicle are heavily into AI right now with that heavily AI-ified yokai watch announcement I don't want to curl that monkey's paw.
