Trophy hunters and platforming fans take heed! The HD-remastered Jak and Daxter Collection is coming to a store near you in a few short weeks, packed with a trio of platforming masterpieces and more trophies than you can shake a ottsel at.
Ah, for the ottsel, lombax and raccoonus-filled days of platforming paradise on the PlayStation 2. Along with the Sly Cooper and Ratchet & Clank trilogies, Naughty Dog’s three Jak and Daxter games were titles that defined the PlayStation 2 experience. Now the HD-remastered Jak and Daxter Collection joins the previously released Sly Cooper Collection, leaving only Insomniac’s robot and furry roadshow for HD remake treatment.
Come February 7 fans will be able to pick up all three Jak joints for the low price of $US39.99. That’s less than four dollars per potential trophy scattered across the three games, or a lot of obsessive compulsion for your money.
Once we’re all done playing through the Jak trilogy again we can all gather around Insomniac’s offices and stare menacingly until our HD platforming trifecta is complete.

$40 price tag. 100 trophies. <$4 per trophy???
Technically, it is a true statement, but still….

Wednesday, January 25, 2012 at 8:49 AMAlmost as bad as the RPS article discussing TW2′s chances of catching pirates.
I think they fail to move the decimal a lot.
Something something American education system something something?

Wednesday, January 25, 2012 at 8:56 AMQ: What is 40.00 divided by 100?
A: …uhmm… lets see, you carry the 8 and subtract the 35… and then account for wind and air pressure… ah, of course… definitely less than 10!

Wednesday, January 25, 2012 at 8:57 AMThen surely it would be $400? Aren’t these dudes journalists?
I want this collection. Well, I don’t care about the collection, I JUST WANT JAK 2!! By far my favourite platformer of all time. Of ALL DAMN TIME!

Wednesday, January 25, 2012 at 9:22 AMWell apart from the price per trophy you guys have discussed, I’m super excited to play Jak 1 in HD!

Wednesday, January 25, 2012 at 9:53 AMI’m actually more concerned that people think it’s acceptable to factor in the dollar price per potential trophy when considering buying a game, ugh, achievements.

While it was almost as big of a let down as All4One, Ratchet and Clank 4 still deserves to be remembered as the PS2 game it was.
I’m sure it hurt that you called R&C a trilogy leaving Deadlocked all crying in the corner there.

Wednesday, January 25, 2012 at 10:42 AMI played the shit out of R&C on the PS2 and only just touched on the Sly and J&D franchises. I picked up the Sly HD games and look forward to grabbing this as well.

Wednesday, January 25, 2012 at 12:59 PMTotal number of trophies doesn’t really bother me, but three platinums is AH-VERY NICE.
Like the sly games, I missed these during the ps2 era so I will definitely pick this up.

Thursday, January 26, 2012 at 1:16 AMThese HD remasters were the reason the ps2 ability was removed from ps3′s and why they wont do an emulator in a software update because they know people will by the game again with a new coat of paint.
