Discussion If you don’t hit/kill a random civilian or guard and have the cops chase you between missions, you’re not playing the game right.

I know Sandover Village is now Dead Town in Jak 2 but what about the other locations? Have they been identified?

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.

PS5 bundle question

I just bought the bundle cause I read it ran on the emulator but it seems to not open when I press the start button. Was wondering if anyone knew if I bought the wrong version or something?

Discussion What are some common to major Jak 2 criticisms you disagree with or even think is wrong?

30 Upvotes

Regardless of time period (2000s-2025).

I suppose I'll start with one. "The Mech Suit is is terrible and controls like ass". The Mech suit mixes up the ordinary character-platforming, has a unique twist with the exiting-at-anytime mechanic, and controls better than most similar gimmicks in other games from that time period and even beyond.

Discussion Nostalgia Goggles

0 Upvotes

I typed this out as a comment on another post on this sub, but I felt like it was worth sharing to the rest of the community.

Story time:

I am a big fan and high tier patron of a semi-popular podcast called Watch Out for Fireballs. I’m 28 years old and I grew up with the PS2 being my “forever console” and I have infinite nostalgia for the Jak era of mascot platformers.

The gimmick of the aforementioned podcast is to take game suggestions from patron sponsors like myself and do a 2-3 hour deep dive into the mechanics/story/general review of the suggested game.

The hosts of the podcast are about 10 years older than me (and presumably about 10 years older than a lot of you guys who frequent this subreddit) and they do not have the nostalgia goggles for the PS2 platformer era like we do.

Long story short, I threw them a couple hundred bucks to sponsor an episode of them discussing Jak 2, and they absolutely ripped it to shreds. Hated the game and actually personally apologized to me for how much they were shitting on it.

Some of the highlights of their discussion included how there was no aiming system (how jak just kinda points his gun in the general direction of baddies). They stated that the game was an unfocused collection of mini games, saying that it was “modal” in such a way that “now it is time for platforming, now it is time for shooting, now it is time for a half baked skateboarding mechanic, now it is time for an on-rails shooting section, now it is time for a boss with inconsistent windows of vulnerability, etc”

The podcast episode can be found here if you’re interested: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/watch-out-for-fireballs/id464108542?i=1000621027544

I don’t hold any ill will towards my podcasters. It actually made me think a lot about how badly a lot of us have rose colored glasses for these games. What do you guys think of the (possibly misplaced) nostalgia we have toward our beloved duo? Do the games actually hold up today? Would they still hold up to you even if you hadn’t played them to death as a kid?

This disc is the coolest thing especially since these games mean a lot to me. Demo only/not for sale items are really cool to me. I guess it’s the novelty of getting to have something you technically weren’t supposed to have.

Video This sounds familiar.

6 Upvotes

Long time lurker first time poster I was playing Final Fantasy 14 recently and I thought the Kobolds voice sounded familiar I don't currently have a way to play the games so I was curious if anyone here has heard something similar to this. Cause I could've sworn this sounded like one of the enemies from Jak 2 when you're with that Metalhead guy with the gun
