I haven't played Jak II much, but if this is as good looking, it'll be one of the nicest looking games this generation on any console.

 

[Guden Oden]

Looks EXACTLY like Jak2... Here's a prediction: it will also PLAY exactly like Jak2.

Is this what they call "milking the money whore", or am I mixing up my sayings?

 

[ChryZ]

I hope Jak3 will be much harder. Jak2 was way too easy.

You're right twice Guden ,you're mixing up your sayings and yes, they're milking theirs cash cows.

edit: Actually you're right thrice, it also looks the same...

Guden:

Milking? If Jak II is anything to go on, then definately not.

 

[GwymWeepa]

I didn't realize Jak was lactating

 

[Squeak]

Bland textures and bad/genric character design, just like in Jak II. Gameplaywise Jak II really was quite terrible, and all signs point to #3 in the series not improving anything.
This is one I definitely won't be getting.

You're kidding, right? Jak2 had some of the most stupidly annoying and irritating missions I've ever had the misfortune of playing. I'm surprised I didn't break either the disc or the console itself actually. Now the game sits on a shelf, where it will continue to rest forever. Idiot game... *grumbles*

Hehe, my comment was indeed meant to tease you a little. IMHO Jak2 was a very fair game. I was able to finish most missions at the first try and even when I screwed one up, it was never the game's fault, just mine. The gameplay was very smooth and polished. The hub-world was a lot of fun too, ok the chasing from mission to mission became a little tiresome, but that problem was easily fixed, I've just started to shoot guards and let them chase me to the target location, that helped to spice things up a notch.

Anyway, GameSpot did a video-feature about Jak3 at E3 and Evan Wells demo'd Jak3. He meantioned, that Jak3 will have a dynamic difficulty adjustment system, so here ya go

IMO ,Jak games serie give animation/playability/game mechanics lessons to MOST of the industry...Even if some missions are a bit frustrating difficulty wise.

Gosh... When did Jak2 become a "terrible" game by any standards? It's one of the best games this generation, and up there in its genre... It's still way above MOST other platformers, in any aspect.

 

[Guden Oden]

Didn't say the game's TERRIBLE, I just happen to believe the missions were designed by a spastic idiot monkey.

Some of them could be a bit throw-controller-accross-the-room-frustrating, yeah, but compared to everything else that's good in the game, i was very happy with it, one of my favs this generation...
And many games have that level of frustration in them, so i can't really complain...

well, finally watched the trailer and I must say, I really can't wait. I enjoyed the challenge of Jak II and loved the technical aspects of it (okay, I the tearing was unnecessary), but everything else was great. I agree, the city backtracking did get on my nerves occasionally, but overall, it was a very good game.

Admittedly though, I much prefered the level design of the first part. Given that this game will be also playing outside the city, I have my hopes high that we'll get some beautiful surrounding (a few are seen in the trailer). So yeah, bring it on!

I know you used "unnecessary" because it's a cool long word and it sounds cool, but in all fairness, it WAS actually necessary. It was either that or slowdowns the size of Matrix bullet-time...
