If I can't buy Jak1 alone then no thanks. I liked Jak only when it was SM64 lite.

I'll gladly take this over a possible poorly made remaster any day! The HD boost that the emulator gives looks great and is a good enough of an upgrade for me!

Perhaps he's wondering why someone would shoot a man before throwing him out of a plane.
Nice. I hope they fix some of the weird bugs in 2 like the lack of music during the credits. and random texture glitches on certain characters' faces during cutscenes.

I want Sony to get Bluepoint on this, make a trilogy remaster from the ground up like CRASH is doing.

Didn't that remaster suck? Or was it only bad on Vita

Glad to see these games available to more people. They deserve to be played, especially the original and Jak 3 (sorry Jak II, I like you and all, but your difficulty and playability are all over the place compared to your predecessor and successor).
This is the first time Jak X has been made available since its 2005 release, right?

now people can finally experience Jak 2's shitness in full 1080p splendor
yeah what is up with this
Jak x
To my surprise at the time, it was.
Not Jak II, 3, or X.
In all honesty, I'm surprised they could do X. I thought there would be an issue with the Queens of the Stone Age having two songs in Jak X.
Very interesting. I wonder what the hold up was. Unless I'm mistaken, this is the first game releasing as PS2 on PS4 that also had a PS3 HD remaster.
On paper, the HD remasters on PS3 would perform and look better than these, but maybe Sony have been working on improving their emulator.
Or maybe they're just hoping no one will compare the two side by side.
I'd love for ICO & SOTC to make it to PS4, but only really worthwhile if it's an improvement on the already excellent PS3 version.
I believe that the PS3 collection, as part of their "PS2 Classics HD" range were using some kind of process Sony had to convert PS2 games to PS3, with lots of games specific work, but excellent results. Not really emulation, but a streamlined porting process.
Whereas the PS2 on PS4 games are using a more general purpose emulation solution (with still some game specific work required), more in line with the PS2 Classics range on PSN.
I think they haven't and aren't going to make an updated version of the process they used for the Classics HD games on PS4.

Just the Vita version

Got the HD collection when it was on ps+ years ago so I'm good. Wish they'd focus on PS2 classics that they haven't already released remasters for.

I bought the PS2 version of Jak X recently since I never got to play it back in the day, but haven't even started it yet... Oh, well.
I know this isn't an HD remaster, but do PS2 games running on PS4 look better than on the PS2? I might double dip if that's the case. I also wonder if Jak X will support online multiplayer (cross-platform with the PS2 version, perhaps? Are the servers still on for that game?)...

I have all Jak games on PS3/Vita. Played Jak 1. Loved it. Jak 2 however? Loathe it.
I didn't bother playing Jak 3 because I have a feeling it's more Jak 2, then Jak 1.
Will buy this IF Jak 1 can be bought separately. Otherwise, no thanks.

Yeah, the remaster looked great on PS3. I know the Vita framerate was godawful though.
this is an emulated version of the PS2 games. It will look bad and have poor performance

These should be running at a higher native resolution than even the HD remasters (which were 720p). PS2 to PS4 ports usually run somewhere around 800p-900p. Awesome!
Especially looking forward to play Jak X again. It's been awhile.

This is what I'm worried about too. These are classic games and they need the classic game treatment, IMO.
I'm 99% sure you don't realize there were games from Naughty Dog on Apple II, Sega Genesis and 3DO.
All we need is CTR and the PS4 will have every Sony Naughty Dog game. Here's to getting Way of the Warrior rights from Activision (?) and Rings of Power from EA.
