Posted on December 6, 2017 by John Scalzo

In this week’s PlayStation Store update, Sony continues to ramp up their mission to bring some of the classics from the PlayStation platforms to the PS4.

Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy made its PS4 debut this Summer, and now it’s got some company. Sony added the rest of the franchise’s Naughty Dog-developed games to the PlayStation Store yesterday including Jak II, Jak 3, and Jak X: Combat Racing.

LocoRoco 2 Remastered, which was originally released for the PSP in 2008, will also be available to download this week for the PS4.

Finally, Capcom will bring Dead Rising 4: Frank’s Big Package to the PS4 this week… a year after its Xbox One/PC launch.

You can learn more about all of this week’s additions to the PlayStation Store after the break. (more…)

Posted on December 1, 2017 by John Scalzo

Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy made its PS4 debut under the PS2 Classics banner on August 22. Today, Sony announced (via the PlayStation Blog) that the next three games in the franchise (Jak II, Jak 3, and Jak X: Combat Racing) will be available to download for the PS4 (individually or as a three-game bundle) on December 6.

Originally developed by Naughty Dog, all three games will receive the full PS2 Classics treatment (including visuals up-rendered to 1080p and full Trophy support) for their re-release on the PS4. However, the online multiplayer that was originally present in Jak X: Combat Racing won’t be operational on the PS4.

Jak and Daxter Collection coming to Vita in June

Posted on April 22, 2013 by Alex Foote

jakanddaxtercollection-boxNaughty Dog has confirmed that the much beloved duo of Jak and Daxter will be hitting the PS Vita this Summer in the form of the same HD collection that was released back in February on the PS3.

The Jak and Daxter Collection will include the following legendary adventures: Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, Jak II, and Jak 3.

The HD remakes of these classic titles will also incorporate some of the Vita’s major features, such as the touchscreen being used for minigames. The collection will even come with a separate set of Trophies from the PS3 version, so that the Trophy hunters out there (you know who you are) get to go for that Platinum on the Vita too, Huzzah!

The Jak and Daxter Collection will be launching on the Vita this June for $29.99.

PSN Today: Simpsons Arcade, Gotham City Impostors, Jak & Daxter Collection, More

Posted on February 7, 2012 by John Scalzo

Sony has pulled out another of their patented “kitchen sink” updates of the PlayStation Store. This week sees the release of three major PSN games (the long-awaited Simpsons Arcade Game, hitman game Shank 2, and multiplayer shooter Gotham City Impostors) as well as all three games from the Jak and Daxter Collection.

Speaking of the Jak and Daxter Collection, the complete package is available from the Full PS3 Games section as well as the sexually charged Catherine, tennis sim Top Spin 4, and the bricktastic Lego Pirates of the Caribbean.

Rounding out the new releases is the PS2 Classic SpongeBob SquarePants: The Movie. And don’t forget that The Simpsons Arcade Game is free to PlayStation Plus subscribers (as well as Final Fantasy V). Oh, and the first episode of “The Tester” season three is now available.

Yup, kitchen sink time. You can find out more about all these new releases after the break. And for a complete listing of all of this week’s new game add-ons, head over to the PlayStation Blog. (more…)

New Releases: Resident Evil Revelations, Kingdoms of Amalur, The Darkness II, More

Posted on February 4, 2012 by John Scalzo

Some ambitious games that have been a long time coming will be available in stores this week.

Chief among them is Resident Evil Revelations, Capcom’s second zombie-killing game for the 3DS, but the first to tell a new tale in the franchise’s lengthy saga.

Also available is Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, the first game from Curt Schilling’s 38 Studios. The game has been in development practically since Mr. Bloody Sock retired back in 2007. It’ll be interesting to see what his dream team of developers came up with when it releases for the PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 this week.

2K’s The Darkness II (PC, PS3, Xbox 360) is neither the start of a new franchise nor is it the latest entry in a long-runner. But fans have been clamoring for a sequel to the 2007 shooter and now they’ll finally get it.

If you prefer your “new” games in collected form, two new ones round this week’s major releases: the PS3-exclusive Jak and Daxter Collection (which brings together the first three games in the series) and the Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition (which collects the main game and all of the DLC in a PC, PS3, or Xbox 360 package).

You can check out the full list of the rest of this week’s new releases after the break. (more…)

Jak and Daxter Collection officially announced

Posted on November 21, 2011 by John Scalzo

After confirming its existence a few weeks ago, Sony has gone and officially announced the Jak and Daxter Collection will be released for the PS3 in 2012.

Scheduled for release in February, the compilation is being developed by Mass Media, who are working closely with original Jak and Daxter developer Naughty Dog. As expected, the collection will include Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, Jak II, and Jak 3 in glorious high definition. You can also expect full stereoscopic 3D and Trophy support.
