Man I hope they don't end the it. I want there to be more Jak games. I think they could be even better on the ps3. I don't even care about they graphics. With those new discs they could store way more data and make a huge Jak game.
I second that feeling.

re: Jak X Information

Just a little bit of news I guess. This is from topshop.com.au, an Aussie site kinda like Amazon I get. But probably better. It's really good for getting games, but I won't be getting Jak X from there, I want it on the day...

quote
Jak X is the ultimate in exciting, head-to-head vehicle combat, with 20 stunning tracks and eight vast open terrain arenas to zoom around in the their wildest ride yet. Destructible elements within each track add fun and chaos to the gameplay and with over 120 game tasks providing hours of fast-paced action.

Jak X features over a dozen combat vehicles, which are completely customisable and feature unique and lively handling characteristics. Over the course of the competition, the vehicles will take damage, as paint is scratched and pieces of metal are ripped from the chassis. Players can create their own strategies for races and missions with an assortment of 17 vehicle power-ups including projectile weapons, ranged weapons, smart bombs, mines, catastrophic attacks, turbos and shields.

Not only does Jak X feature five new characters along with some familiar faces, but the game is designed to be compatible to Daxter coming to PSP. Players will be able to hook up to unlock secret decals, modifications, vehicles and characters. Introducing both multiplayer and online modes to the Jak and Daxter franchise, Jak X allows up to six players compete online and offers features such as 'ranking system', 'buddy list', 'team play' and more.

re: Jak X Information

I hope the team play means you can start a team and recruit people. All games should have a clan or team system.

Some info

Jak X:

With the Jak trilogy now complete, Naughty Dog is taking a break from platforming to try their hand at a racing game set in the Jak universe. After the vehicular portions in the previous games, it was only a matter of time.

So, why are Jak and his pals taking part in a massive racing competition? Well, unless they defeat Krew and receive the cure, everyone will die due to mass poisoning. Yep.

Jak X will differ from a traditional racing game, in that you'll be able to drive around and take part in missions, in somewhat of a GTA-like manner. These missions will consist of standard races, time trials, "time boxes," and deathmatches, complete with guns, missiles, and all other sorts of weapons and gadgets. Just imagine going all Twisted Metal on Daxter. Aw.....

Besides standard split-screen multiplayer, it's also rumored that Jak X feature full online play.

re: Jak X Information

Well I wasn't sure if I should post these up in here or in Screenshots and Trailers, but I thought it was best to put it in the general information thread to be on the safe side. If I'm wrong to put it in here, just tell me and I'll change it

Well I finally found a good sized box art image

re: Jak X Information

Just some more general information:

• In addition to simple racing, the game also features several other modes. Of them, you get to participate in Turbo Dash, Artifact Race and Deathmatch.

Deathmatch is the gameplay type that lets Jak essentially become Twisted Metal. The level we played was called Haven Cliffs. It contained rolling hills, treacherous half completed bridges, lots of jumps, and a surprisingly complex assortment of interconnected tunnels.

In Deathmatch, success depends entirely on how quickly and effectively a player can pick up certain powerups. Unlike other games that offer distinctly different advantages and disadvantages attached to specific weapon types, the powerups in Jak have a cumulative effect. So, if you quickly grab a lot of red powerups you'll have greatly increased the effectiveness of your defensive shields, whereas a lot of yellow will turn your standard machinegun into a more powerful one and then eventually into a series of vicious homing missiles. When you add computer controlled bots to a field of four players, the action can get pretty hectic.

Then you have the Artifact Race, which starts players at different locations and then asks them to pass through a series of checkpoints to progress as well as well as there is the Turbo Dash, basically you need to keep using your turbo boost to charge a power cell, which you can then use to kill other racers. So, it's pretty much combat mixed with constant turbo craziness. Really cool, actually.

• For reference, the basic controls look like:


L2 - Jump
L1 - Defensive weapon
R2 - Turbo
R1 - Offensive weapon
R3 - First-person perspective
X - Accelerate
Circle - Emergency brake
Square - Brake
Triangle - Look back

• Dark Eco is in Jak X. You obtain DE by killing players, or by them hitting you. Once you obtain Dark Eco, you get full health and your weapons are taken to the next level-they get stronger, have more shots/ammo. Much like the wumpa fruit in Crash Team Racing.

re: Jak X Information

Oh cool so thats what dark eco does. In the death match is it like an open fighting area or just like a bunch of seperate little areas and stuff and you try to kill each other.
