yes! finally a new j&d game! :cheesygri

Jak and Daxter are back. No, this isn't an April Fools Day joke; no, this isn't another racing game; and no, this isn't another spin-off. This is Jack and Daxter: The Lost Frontier, the next chapter in the storied franchise.

Set for a simultaneous release this fall on the PSP and PlayStation 2, the Lost Frontier picks up where the series left off and puts you back behind the controls of Jak in a third-person platforming/action/vehicle adventure.

i'm glad, i don't have to dish out $400+ to play a new j&d game. plus the amount of people who own a ps2 or psp outnumber ps3 by a lot and it's cheaper to develop for psp and ps2

Its being developed by High Impact Games so don't expect any PS3 from them yet. I believe they made Secret Agent Clank which was a decent game, not good or great.

Naughty Dog is too busy making Uncharted.

I thought the PS3-developed Jak game was tentatively titled "Lost Frontier"? I guess they canned that when they figured it would take years for it to come to fruition

Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier First Look

I'd like to think I've seen a lot of PSP games (sorry, PS2 readers, this was playing on the portable), and this is easily one of the best looking titles I have see on the platform. Jak (minus the soul patch) and Daxter (still wearing pants) leapt, ran, and eventually flew in their flying machine without any hitch or stutter -- it was super-smooth like creamy butter. The colors were bright, the models detailed and the action fierce.

It's going to be tough to wait for more information on this title, but the fact that High Impact is estimating your first playthrough to last about 10 to 12 hours, the studio is working closely with franchise creator Naughty Dog, Daxter is right there with his trademark one-liners and nasally voice, there are plenty of secrets and unlockables, and the game features dynamic loads so that you don't run into load screens while playing should help ease the pain.
