Jak and Daxter for Vita?

**CrazyShady** · 02-28-2012

I've been doing a little searching trying to figure out if there will be a vita release for the Jak and Daxter Collection, but kind of confused about what I've found.

Here on psu in january there was a news post about the game and the pictures were said to have come from the vita version of the game, but I haven't heard any news about it whatsoever.

Can anyone confirm/deny that it's coming to vita? I bought it for ps3 but I'd be more than happy to be able to play it with me on the go. I wonder if it'll be a download only title if it does come to vita.

I haven't done any research regarding this, but, I was always under the impression it was coming out for the Vita

Naughty Dog is not working on anything related to the PS Vita. If any Jak games come to the Vita it will have to be done by another studio. I do not see ND handing out there game for another studio to port.

But isn't the HD port being made by another studio?

Nope. Naughty Dog did it all. I doubt ND will ever give their creation to anyone to port. They let Bend Studios make their own Uncharted game, but they would never hand over one of their games for another studio to alter.

Source that they wouldn't ever hand over one of their games for another studio to port? They didn't LET Bend Studios do anything. Uncharted is owned by Sony, just as ND are. They do as they are told.. /end of

You need a source when I said "I doubt"? You have a source saying that Sony can hand over games that were developed by Naughty Dog to another studio? Nobody knows what is in the contracts. Sony can lend an IP to another studio, but I doubt they have the right to hand over another studios work for any sort of alterations. Even if Sony owns more than half the Naughty Dog stock...

If I spent years making a game, do you think I would let anyone hand over that hard work to anyone else? I doubt Naughty Dog would.

In that making of- it seems like ND didn't have much of anything to do with the HD collection

Mass Media were responsibly for porting over the PS2 games to PS3

If that is the case then there is a good chance the collection is headed to the Vita.

After researching, Naughty Dog did assist in the porting of the collection.

The games were originally developed by Naughty Dog, and who have assisted in the remastering alongside Mass Media Inc. to provide support for high-definition monitors, higher frame rates,stereoscopic 3D, and additional features for the PlayStation Network.

Ya the interviews in the video suggest it was a tough cookie getting it to run on the PS3 in the first place so it doesn't surprise me that ND was on hand to help with the advanced and unorthodox coding they used with the Jak games

I really really hope it comes out for Vita though. Before the OP started this thread I was under the impression that it just was coming out sooner or later, but he's right - the information regarding a Vita version is scarce

First you said, "doubt', then you said it in a much more "matter of fact" way. If you didn't have any choice to hand it over, guess what... YOU WOULD hand it over lol. Much like they did with Golden Abyss.

Naughty Dog passed on the opportunity to make Golden Abyss. They decided to work on The Last of Us. Golden Abyss is a brand new game and not a game they already developed.

If you want Jak & Daxter on Vita, you could check out J&D: Last Frontier. It's not quite up to par with Naughty Dog's games, but it's not horrible shit either. Decent PSP platformer, could look real nice on Vita's screen.

I did play last frontier when it came out on my psp. I'd still be overjoyed to be able to play jak 1/2/3 on the go. I guess we'll have to just hold out and hope for an annoucement if nothing has been mentioned yet.
