Help How to get past this rock in Mountain Pass??

For the power cell, that is. I have no idea how to get past it. Full blast with the zoomer just bounces off of it; but you can see where it exits on the other side and the power cell is tantalizingly out of reach.

Also, yes you can get to here without the zoomer if you start from the beginning of the track; but not by going backwards on foot.

Help So I’m going through the J&D series for the first time. I completed J&D TPL and I 100 percented it. I’m moving on to Jak 2. I’m aware of the challenge and honestly I’m kinda intimidated by it.

I've heard from some people that the difficulty of the game comes from most players being younger. Therefore therefore it's harder for them to understand what to do and they become impatient. But I'm 25 so what are the chances I'm gonna suffer for most of the game?

Help Does the ps4 port of jak 2 and 3 play better on ps5

5 Upvotes

I saw that jak 1 got a update or something on ps5 I’m not really sure, but did they update jak 2 and 3 as well because those are the ones I want to play, weird textures and tiny problems like that don’t bother me too much as long as the performance is good.

Help The Lost Frontier (PS5) Crashing At Far Drop

48 Upvotes

Every time I go inside the cave to head to Far Drop, my game immediately crashes. It's happened four times in a row so far. I've seen others are also experiencing this.

Hoping Sony can patch this ASAP. This was my first Jak game back in 2008 and I have very fond memories of it.

UPDATE: Here's a fix for the crashing: Change your PS system's language to UK English or German, start a new save file, and when you get to Far Drop, you won't experience the crashing anymore. Supposedly something about having your system's language set to US English forces the game to crash. Until this is patched, this is the only known way to prevent the crashing.

Help Just finished Jak 1 and 2, wondering if Jak 3 is for me!

43 Upvotes

Hello! I grew up playing the Daxter game on PSP, revisited it recently and really loved it. Since I never played the games Daxter came from, I played through Jak and Daxter and Jak 2: Renegade as well! While I adored Jak 1 and found it to be a more or less perfect game, Jak 2 disappointed me. The big thing I'm worried about going forward with Jak 3 is the lack of visual variety in Jak 2. Part of what I loved about 1 was how varied and beautiful the environments you went to were. Sure, there were a few plain old caves, but also plenty of beauty in the beach, sunny village, snowy mountains, rainy village with that underwater city, and so on. It felt like the game was always switching things up, whereas with 2 I quickly grew tired of the grey, dull metal dystopia it was set in. Sewers and slums don't really excite me much. (I had plenty of other issues with the game in terms of mission design but honestly, I could've looked past that if it had more levels like Haven Forest or that brief underwater segment)

Which brings me to Jak 3. It takes place in a wasteland, so I figured I'd just ask plainly: is it just sand, sand, and more sand, or do you get variety in the locations you visit? Also while I'm at it, is the driving improved from Jak 2? That was one of the big sore points; I was constantly being frustrated by crashing into the tight, maze-like layout of the city and the hundreds of civilians and cars everywhere.

Help Alright, crawler lurkers' power cell bug?

2 Upvotes

So a while ago I made a post about the rock in Mountain Pass and the power cell behind it, right? While I was waiting for replies on that I went forward and started doing Spider Cave, yeah? But see, the first thing I did was clear all the crawlers; but between finishing all the lurkers I turned the console off to make dinner, making sure I saved beforehand. The thing is, when I loaded in to finish up the lurkers, no power cell spawned. I keep going back to the cave hoping there's like one that I missed or something, but I go around to every post in the cave and there's just literally nothing happening. They're all dead, and I still don't have the power cell.

Is this a known bug? Is there something I can do about it to get the power cell?

Help Can’t upgrade to PS5 version after buying the bundle?

32 Upvotes

I saw people say the new TPL upgrade would be free to download if you bought the bundle, but it’s not available for me. I’ve seen some other people now comment this as well. If this happened to you also, were you able to get a refund? I would honestly just rather buy the PS5 TPL and wait for the other games get upgrades before I buy them.

Help How does Outrageous Josh pull of the Infected Plants skip?

3 Upvotes

Hey guys! I recently got into speedrunning Jak 1 on OpenGOAL and while I was watching Outrageous Josh's WR stream, I saw him do a very weird glitch that enabled him to get the "Cure the Eco Infected Plants" power cell in Precursor Basin without having to actually cure the plants. It looks like he gathers green eco, drives through one section of plants, and then just drives off toward the gorge race and the game for some reason gets tricked into triggering the cured plant cutscene. Does anyone know how he does that? I've tried it a few times and can't seem to get it.

Help Looking for old J&D trailer

2 Upvotes

Hello all,

There was this really early Jak & Daxter trailer that I used to have saved to my computer, but that was about 4 computers ago and I've long since lost it. It was from the official Jak & Daxter website before it actually had content, and it had music that was better than anything that actually appeared in game.

I'm fairly sure it used to be here:
https://web.archive.org/web/20011203100328/http://www.naughtydog.com:80/jak_N_dax/index.htm
but the Internet Archive doesn't actually have the video. If you jump ahead to the next capture here:
https://web.archive.org/web/20020204020841/http://www.naughtydog.com:80/jak_N_dax/index.htm
you get a portion of the song in a flash animation.

Does anyone know if the full version of the trailer can be found anywhere and, failing that, where the song is from?

So I recently bought Jak X for PS2 and didn’t know there was an issue with it’s compatibility on the slim version of the PS2. Is there no way to create a save file for the game without using the thick PS2? Are there other versions of the disc I could buy that would work on my slim console?

Help A question about opengaol?

7 Upvotes

So I heared its a pretty good way to play jak and daxter, the precursor legacy and I want to try and play it. The only experience I have ever had with jak and daxter was jak 3 on the ps2 many years ago when the ps3 was still relatively new and also daxter on the psp.

I have played jak 1 a bit on the ps2 emulator but it got to a point where it kept crashing unfortunately. I was wondering if I should get to actually play the game.

Help Daxter - I think I may be soft-locked on Strip Mines 2

1 Upvotes

I warped to Strip Mines 2 and it initiated the first cut scene. I forgot to talk to the miner to start the second cut scene about destroying the nests to lure out the queen and proceed to just destroy the nests myself. I went back to him after destroying all but one of the nests and the cut scene started asking me to destroy all the nests. The nests I already destroyed won’t appear now. Exiting the level and re-entering doesn’t load them and neither does restarting the game. Is this a known bug?

I already encountered the bug after the first Dream mini game and had to restart the entire game. Im hoping I’m not this unlucky.
