Niiiiice i'll get jak 1 only tho since its the only game that interests me
They'd probably release individually on PSN in case that's how you wanted to go.You would get all 3 if it was sold as a collection.
The Vita sure is getting a lot of ports.
For those who haven't played the collection before, only the first game is really worth your money. Jak 2 is horrible and Jak 3 is decent at best. Jak 1 is pretty darn good though.

Pretty much ignore this man. Jak 1 was pretty much just an open world Crash Bandicoot rip off. The second two are hard as balls, and damn awesome.

I mean "ripoff" in the way that, to all intents and purposes, it feels like a Crash game. Wouldn't surprise me if it started off that way in development before they lost the license. The main character doesn't talk, he spins, the world is vibrant and natural, you're smashing crates and collecting relics of power... just seems familiar to me.
The next two games build a world of their own, and are much better in my eyes. The first was a simple collectathon platformer, and whilst the second and third are divisive, they're of a much higher production value and overall quality.
I still don't see how this is a bad thing dude! haha I'm on the windup a bit, I know what you mean now. Still though, I love the first. Think I'm half way through and enjoying it so much. Having did the second or third yet so it may prove that I like them better, but that wouldn't lessen that this is great.
Too wishful thinking sony with shower me with free vita versions since I have the ps3 collection.....?

No. They never lost the Crash license, they never had it in the first place. Their contract was for a trilogy of games, they fulfilled it and then Sony negotiated one last game for them (CTR). By the time Jak came around, Universal had already moved on to their own (shitty) Crash games.
In comparison to the mediocre GTA clones the last two games were, sure, J&D was a total "Crash ripoff," any platformer would be. But in terms of gameplay, art style and level design, it's nothing like Crash. And you're crazy to think so because on the reasons you've given.
When we started making Jak & Daxter... this was basically, this is Mario 64
But why? Vita should be getting its own original Jak & daxter game and not hand me down ports of old ps2 games.
Shit, I need to buy a Vita then. I always said I'd buy a handheld that let me play Jak II. Damn.
Like this?!
But nah, I'd go for a Daxter 2.

Agreed wholeheartedly. Jak 1 is one of the best games on PS2 and feels like the ultimate evolution of ND's Crash formula. Jak 3 feels kind of like an evolution of Jak II that tones down the worse aspects. Jak II, however, is a frustrating, poorly designed mess of a game. Instead of being a straight platformer with some vehicle-based segments, it becomes a vehicle and gun-based game with only a hint of platforming, which would be okay if the game weren't so cheap. And I say cheap and not hard because the game isn't difficult, just very poorly designed. Here are a few examples:
-Horrible overworld. They wanted to ape GTA by having a big city with tons of cars everywhere, but forgot one crucial aspect: the player has to be able to actually drive around this city for it to be fun. Instead, they have a hovercar system where you can switch between a high and low plane, but if you're on the lower plane then you're bound to hit a ton of hovercars and policemen who will send tons of guys after you to kill you, and if you're on the higher plane you're going to hit a ton of hovercars and buildings. So really there's no fun way to get around since you're always going to be bumping into things.
-TIME LIMITS EVERYWHERE. You will get stuck on almost every driving mission guaranteed, solely because they enforce obnoxious time limits that give you no time to screw up which, coupled with the aforementioned policemen you WILL accidentally hit and who WILL end you before you even come close to the goal, add up to a all around bad experience.
-Escort missions. With AI that gets easily killed. That have no checkpoints so when they get killed right at the end you have to start all over.
It is just not good. Jak 1 and 3 are decent enough to be worth buying, but for the love of god SKIP JAK II
