Jak and Daxter Games Coming to PS4 Later This Year

Sony announced today on its PlaySta­tion’s blog that it plans on releas­ing sev­er­al titles from the Jak and Dax­ter series lat­er this year. 

Among the titles, these include Jak and Dax­ter: The Pre­cur­sor Lega­cy, Jak ΙΙ, Jak 3 and Jak X: Com­bat Rac­ing. All of these are PS2 clas­sics, but the first three games in the series were remade on the PS3 years ago. This is not a port from those, but done specif­i­cal­ly for the PS4 because the PS3 code was rather messy. 

There was no release date giv­en and it seems these will only be dig­i­tal down­loads, as no phys­i­cal release was talked about. They did pro­vide images and a rather short video from the PS4 ver­sion of these clas­sic games, which you can see below:

Jak X: Com­bat Rac­ing is a fresh re-release, as it was not on the PS3. This game is not going to have online mul­ti­play­er (can’t see how it would), but you can still play against your friends in split screen mode. You can also go through the Adven­ture or Exhi­bi­tion modes. 

All of these games will the upscaled to 1080p and include tro­phies. They will also include Share­play, Remote Play, and Activ­i­ty Feed.
