Shown off on social media by developer Travis Howe, an animation of a modernized cutscene from Jax and Daxter was revealed to have been put together by a small team. Howe, who previously worked at Sanzaru Games, stressed that this project wasn’t one that was commissioned by PlayStation itself, which means that the publisher currently isn’t trying to find a team to make this game. Instead, Howe and a handful of other unnamed animators created the footage to try to sell PlayStation on the idea of a remaste or remake. The idea was ultimately passed on, but the cutscene itself that was created gives fans a look at what a remake of Jak and Daxter could be like with current-gen textures and lighting.
You can get a look at the footage for yourself in the tweet below:
Will Jak and Daxter Ever Be Brought Back by PlayStation?
At this point, it seems unlikely that Jak and Daxter will ever be brought back by PlayStation. Not only is the franchise’s developer now working on Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, but PlayStation as a whole seems to be moving in a much different direction. This is clearly seen by the fact that other similar PS2 exclusives from Sony (Sly Cooper, Twisted Metal, etc.) haven’t been brought back in recent years as well.
