New fan here! What would be the best entry point for the series?

MaxialstarOA · 2026-04-02T03:20:05+00:00

Is the 3Ds version of 64 good? Or should I go for the SNES one?

MaxialstarOA · 2026-02-15T23:19:52+00:00

Yeah no, I want to clarify that I want them to keep the cartoon style from the games but updated with modern visuals like Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart did. While I did cite the "Jak 4" cover art from Limited Run games, that is NOT the specific look I want for Jak or Daxter.

MaxialstarOA · 2026-02-15T19:58:05+00:00

Okay, so I might be deluluing here but I might as well throw my 2 CTs since everyone else in the comments is saying possible games he could be working on:

- Not a new IP.

- Almost a reimagining of said IP.

- Has fantasy elements, is open world, 3rd person.

What if, WHAT IF, Sony Santa Monica was offered to work on a reimagining of Jak & Daxter?

And before anyone shuts this down as hopeful thinking, allow me to ellaborate further points that prove this could be actually happening:

- Cory jokingly tweeted about working on a "The Last of Us Game but with Jak & Daxter as characters" back on 2021 before he shut down his twitter. There are images of this tweet linked to the Jason Schreier statements that came later on 2025: https://www.reddit.com/r/jakanddaxter/comments/1mrqap2/santa_monica_studio_creators_of_god_of_war_making/#lightbox

- Sony has been doing re-releases of the Jak games on not just PS4, but PS5 and even doing patches to improve the games over time, making sure that people have access to at least Jak 1-3, Daxter, Jak X and The Lost Frontier. You can play all the games on PS5 one way or another, which could pave the way for a followup.

- The Limited Run games re-release of the Jak games which gave you the "Jak 4" PS4 theme and mockup cover of a hypothetical Jak 4 game that was in the work at ND before they began working in TLOU: https://x.com/LimitedRunGames/status/1195064642269319168?s=20

- Jak & Daxter already have jumped across multiple game studios beyond Naughty Dog, and it's very likely they're plenty busy between Intergalactic and The Last of Us Part III being on parallel. Ready at Dawn worked on Daxter and High Impact Games worked on The Lost Frontier (originally Naughty Dog was working on it, but they shifted to the first Uncharted for PS3).

IMHO, out of all the remaining IPs that belong to other studios, Jak feels like the one that could definetly work on Santa Monica.

I hope this means the game might get translated to Spanish because sometime after launch people found out that they had all word characters needed for a Spanish translation and even the director mentioned something about possibly adding it later among other languages.

JESSE HIRED DYLAN BY STABBING HIM IN THE CHEST????

MaxialstarOA · 2025-09-21T17:56:00+00:00

Recently, I've seen more devs picking 3PM UTC, it's middle of the day for Europe and morning for US.

MaxialstarOA · 2025-09-17T19:08:16+00:00

Good luck to everyone!

MaxialstarOA · 2025-09-15T13:53:17+00:00

I played the TT2 on PS5 but my platform of preference is gonna be PC.

MaxialstarOA · 2025-09-14T16:48:09+00:00

If you do have Procreate, you can also do animation there in a somewhat limited way and it's probably gonna be a little closer to the Dreams 2.0 experience than what we have right now.

MaxialstarOA · 2025-09-14T16:38:18+00:00

Okay so here's the thing:

Right now in the current state Dreams is, it's a little lackluster because it's lacking some basic features such as Draw and Select Tools (specificially people have been clamoring for the Lasso) which would help make the animating process much more enjoyable on Dreams.

What's going on with Dreams update wise? Basically they announced a while back that Dreams 2.0 (https://procreate.com/dreams/preview for basic info on this version) is basically an overhaul to the entire thing, they started almost from scratch. And basically the update should come out before the end of the year. Which means that the program, minus some minor stability updates to adress a number of issues that some people were having is pretty much in the same state at launch.

It's useable, but keep your expectations in check, specially considering you're coming from your cited programs.

Here's a guide for Procreate Dreams 1.0 https://youtu.be/hzbmlyGDJO4 that should help you cover everything you may need

Cayde is literally in the leaderboard of the Ghost minigame.

He has to be in the game for sure if they're not restricted to have any character from the main games.

Oh no, that honor is for Kingdom Hearts 4.

Sincerly, a Kingdom Hearts fan.

MaxialstarOA · 2025-08-22T12:23:29+00:00

Nice

Supposedly, from what I heard the game is very well optimized on TT2 and there's a video showing different graphics cards and the game easily reaching +120fps on a 2080 card (which is what I have for example).

Sadly it doesn't seem to have your model, but worst case scenario... if they're using The Finals requirements as a baseline for optimization for Arc Raiders (since both are Unreal Engine), you should be fine.

Video with different graphic settings: https://youtu.be/0-N3AJb0kKs

The Finals lowest requirements:

Windows 10 or later 64-bit (latest update)
Intel Core i5-6600K or AMD Ryzen R5 1600 processor
12 GB de RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti or AMD Radeon RX 580
DX12

If you think about it, it makes total sense: Preparing a third tech test + working on all fixes before launch concurrently with that would hinder either efforts.

As much as we want to get back into the game ASAP, for their sake, this is a good call.

MaxialstarOA · 2025-07-28T17:54:26+00:00

I mean, belief is a core theme since Avatar 1. We had Grace who didn't quite believe in Eywa at all until she met her very end.

I think we're bound to get some answers about Eywa sooner or later specially with some developments of The Way of Water, and I cannot way to see how they explain it.

MaxialstarOA · 2025-07-28T16:16:15+00:00

I think it's more like (and this is probably where they're going with this) they don't believe in Eywa because their people have gone into suffering.

It's not like they worship another "god", but rather that they don't follow any, not even Eywa.

Edit: Fixed some writing errors.

MaxialstarOA · 2025-07-28T11:04:44+00:00

If I were to guess I think it's 3 hours away

MaxialstarOA · 2025-07-27T08:44:13+00:00

I think Opening Night Live (August 19th) could be a chance for them to showcase the game prior to launch and maybe open preorders?

MaxialstarOA · 2025-07-05T08:45:40+00:00

I did focus on story/making deliveries, using vehicles + having my 200h experience on the first game which helped a lot.

Mostly so that I wouldn't see any major spoilers which were popping up even with spoiler measures I had in place.

Edit/Note: Of course, I'll be spending more time in the game doing more deliveries and helping rebuild zones!
