Patreon.com/RememberTheGame We've been talking about covering Jak & Daxter for YEARS! I just needed to find time to replay it first. I finally squeezed it in, and I'm happy to say it's as fun as I remember. I love this damned game. If you've never played, it's your classic 3D platforming collect-a-thon. But the charming characters, crisp graphics, and interactions between Jak and Daxter put it alongside Banjo Kazooie, Ratchet & Clank, and Sly Cooper as one of my favourite non-Mario platformers of all-time. I haven't been able to put it down for a week, just hit the 100% mark yesterday, and I'm ready to (finally) tell you all about why I love this game so much, and why you should, too. Years ago, I promised my buddy Andre that I'd have him on the show if we ever talked Jak & Daxter, and the time has come. I hope this episode lives up to the hype for those of you that have been waiting forever for it, and once we're talking talking orbs, we spend a few minutes speculating about the future of the series, too. And before we swim in eco, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro! This week, someone asks how I feel about emulating modern games if you already own them. Where did sports game developers go wrong? And are there any myths about Canada I want to confirm or deny? Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 PS2 platforming classics: Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal, Sly Cooper 2, and Ape Escape 2! Learn more about your ad choices.
