10 Beloved Video Games That Deserve A Modern Reboot

2. Jak & Daxter

The Jak & Daxter games were some of the finest titles to ever release on the PS2. As you'd expect from Naughty Dog, they were massively impressive from a technical perspective, sporting highly-detailed graphics that ran at a silky-smooth frame-rate with no visible load times. That's not to say that eye-candy was all they had to offer. All three games were excellent 3D action platformers in their own right with a variety in their gameplay that remains impressive to this day. Jak 3 had tons of different gameplay styles (on-rails and third-person shooting, driving, platforming etc.) and it executed every single one brilliantly. After finishing up Uncharted 3, Naughty Dog thought long and hard about making a new Jak & Daxter but eventually decided to focus on The Last Of Us instead. While it was probably the right choice to make, you can't help but wonder what a new game would be like outside of the limitations of the PS2 hardware. Naughty Dog could really let their imaginations run wild, creating epic space battles, stealth missions, challenging platforming levels (or anything else, for that matter) all wrapped up in one cohesive, beautiful HD world. The HD version of the Jak & Daxter Trilogy that released on the PS3 in 2013 was a nice gesture to fans, but an entirely new instalment in the series from Naughty Dog themselves would be even better. After all, it's been 10 long years since Jak 3 first came out.

When I'm not playing games, I'm probably either writing about them somewhere or singing stupid songs inspired by them. Or eating pizza.
