    Of all things that could get a remake, this one is likely the most “why?” of all time.

      Yeah! I played it something like two years ago and it aged wonderful! I mean, I wish them all the success in the world but this game doesn’t actually need a remake

      I just posted the same comment in another thread. It’s a great game and wouldn’t feel out of place if it was released today.

      Think outside the box. The remake could have support for up to 10 brothers, so long as you connect that many analogue sticks, and you control one per finger. Add a character creator, enhance it to a strand type game, support for more languages, skill-based online co-op, and reimagine it as an open-world sandbox. :')

        It does, and that might be a nice experience, but I feel like the one player/two sticks mechanic was kind of the main point of it.

        I don’t feel like the game would have had the same impact on me, if I co-oped it like I did with It Takes Two (which was designed as a co-op experience).

      Same. I can replay old games and still enjoy them if the gameplay is good. I’ve been wanting to replay Jack and Daxter again. I don’t need the graphics updated. That damn polygon fish will still make me squirm with the increasing heartbeats…

        Not exactly updated graphics, but you can play Jak & Daxter at 4K 60FPS on PC with OpenGOAL. Best way to play the game.

    The updated graphics do look super pretty. This is a classic, and if this keeps new people playing it into the future that’s awesome.

    I think of remasters/remakes like this like I do brand new 4k HDR remasters of classic movies. Since they are shorter focused narrative games.

    Never heard of this game in my life, no idea to its quality but the title is absolutely hilariousmy bad. It makes me want to play it.

    Does the game deliver on the camp or is it a legitimate game with just a bad English title?
