Welcome to my video of all of the cutscenes in Jak 2. Played on the ps3 from the HD Collection. Recorded with the Elgato HD and edited in Sony Vegas. Enjoy
They remind me of Jay and Silent Bob. One is just always screaming about some dumb, inane shit... the other one just quietly nods in approval and only speaks if its really necessary. Lmao
I grew up on jak 2 so I bought the whole series recently and I must say playing Jak 2 after precursor legacy as a adult has completely changed my view of the game. I thinks it's a good game that's much better than most modern games, but it's kind of disappointing. The first has great platforming, every item meant something, and it felt like authentic exploration, and I think that was lost in the second. The seconds combat is better but it's missions are to linear and the mission structure makes it feel less free flowing.
are you kidding me lol. the "shooting" is so bad you cant even aim. the game aims for you. and you constantly have to run across the city to pick up missions all that could have been done through a holo or something. half the missions are just "go kill" something BS so you can get a 10 second cutscene about the plot. only good thing it has going for it is the writing is really charming and the voice acting is good
I didn't notice this back when I first played the game all those years ago, but when Jak is dealing with Daxter, he acts more like his old self; amused with Daxter's antics and more likely to smile. As opposed to when dealing with most other people, where he's usually scowling and acting hostile. Yeah, Daxter is his best friend, but considering Jak is much more violent in this game, it's nice to see how he's still so friendly towards his friend.
The same is said about Daxter. No matter what Daxter treats Jak the same way as always in contrast to Keira who felt like she was rejecting him for who he became. Jak and Daxter are probably god tiered brothers in games xD
The scene when Daxter drinks too much at the Hip Hog Saloon, Jak is just trying to hide his laughter. Probably the first time he laughed in a long time. Daxter might have been a bit of a coward who didn't know when to shut up, but he was the ideal best friend for Jak when it mattered.
@Tyler Mogg My parents care about my opinion, my sisters care about my opinion, the people who care about me care about my opinion. Just because you didn't doesn't mean everyone doesn't. There was no need to insult me.
@Tyler Mogg Does it feel good? Insulting someone on the internet you've never met before? I gave up on that pointless shit years ago but if that's what makes you sleep at night, then more power to you. You can keep arguing with me if you so wish but after this comment, I will no longer respond to you. Good day.
He turned him into a dark eco science experiment the minute he landed in the future. There wouldn’t be many other words to say about someone who tortured you for so long.
Fun Fact: Anyone notice when Jak speaks, his pupils become very small. A small detail to show that he is no longer the wide-eyed hero from the first game, but a tainted and stressed anti-hero.
Nice attention to detail. However, his pupils return to normal in the following cutscenes if you look closely. Your not wrong though, because on one of The Baron's Announcement things he says that the Dark Eco will eventually drive Jak insane before killing him. His pupils getting small is essentially a nod to Jak's Anger Issues/Insanity from the Dark Eco Experiments.
47:28 Jak: Where would you be without me , eh Dax? Dax: Well Jak, I probably wouldn't be two feet tall, fuzzy, and running around in a sewer without a pair of pants... God. I miss pants.
The scene at 44:07 has so much foreshadowing. The crocadog only liking Jak and his older self, daxter's smile when Kor points out that they get along so well, and Kor getting offended when Daxter recalls how ugly he looks in his Metal form
The foreshadowing for Kor is honestly amazing. The whole game is filled with little details that point to it being him, and you barely notice most of them until AFTER the fact. It's brilliant writing. I didn't suspect anything until Mar's tomb where he whispers in a sinister way that he always dreamed of having the precursor stone. That's what tipped me off.
1:18:38 "I've been building a replica of our crashed Rift Rider machine from old artefacts." "That's my girl!" "But I'm still missing two pieces" "Figures..." This game truly is full of surprises. There are so many little things here and there, all of Daxter's adult humor, a little fourth wall break here/while also dissing your daughter. My favorite series to this day!
Damn straight! These two have been best friends for years! This is basically a besties moment! Not to mention Daxter’s insane loyalty to Jak. He’s searched for him for 2 YEARS!!! He even stayed with him when Jak was banished to the wasteland! If that’s not true friendship then I don’t know what is.
22:01 I love how Kiera never recognized it was Jak at first because, she never heard him talk until now either. I also loved how Jak was getting an easy turn on just from her silhouette even though he never knew it was her either. 🤣
@@Welshy It's not an HD remake, it's an HD remaster. The only thing the HD remaster did was up the resolution, add some anti aliasing/texture filtering, and upped the frame rate to 60 FPS. But yeah it probably doesn't look as good on native PS2 hardware, but it certainly aged a lot better than many other PS2 games.
These were the kinds of plot I loved. The amount of quality voice actors, voice direction, ANIMATIONS (this was the PS2!) and just such a perfect balance between seriousness and comedy!
They couldn't because naughty dog had/has the full control of whatever Jak and daxter game is to come so Sony had to use the old one and make it pretty much a backwards compatible game
@@yoholup19 not quite, the IP belongs to sony, they could force naughty dog to make the next god of war but that won't happen (obviously), what did happen was the lost frontier being developed by high impact games
16:51 Man, I always thought Sig was such a bad ass when I was a kid. One of my favorite characters. 50:39 this damn mission. Probably the hardest in the game in my opinion.
Idk but sometimes Samos sounds like he already knew about the whole future and Jaks purpose. In the beginning he says so this is how it happened. And he also yells “Find yourself Jak during the time portal scene”

Jak & Daxter (bar having fun gameplay) has such a rich lore & atmosphere especially Jak 2. Such colorful characters and an amazing soundtrack, could literally be it's own series. Criminally underrated even when it's so loved by fans, it's that good. Absolute tragedy that Jak 4 never happened, such a waste.
That’s certainly one way to show the previously silent character can talk now. It’s also the moment I went “I already like this more than Jak and Daxter 1.”
I never realized they totally play the death sound when Jak gets knocked out by the Krimzon Guards in the opening. It really was the death of Jak as he was in the first game.
Just rewatching all the cutscenes of this game makes my inner childhood within myself tear up and cry. I forgot how funny this game was. How well scripted the story and dialogue was. If they create another remake of this masterpiece I am for sure making a purchase.
@@boyenjoyer7 this bothered me when I was little too. I was like, What- not even a "I'm shocked to see you again" moment? I disappear for 2 years and you don't even want to catch up? especially after the ending scene of Jak 1 when you 100% it
I can’t believe I never noticed that Jak’s look in this game (primarily Dark Jak) was meant to resemble Gul from Precursor Legacy. It seems the original idea was for him to be conflicted with becoming the antagonist he once defeated. Subsequent the influence of GTA changed molded the story to what we know it to be today.
I heard a recent source that the new created PlayStation studio in San Diego is working on a Jak & Daxter reboot for PS5 and Mark Cerny is involved. This could explain why they hired two people from Dreamworks Animation in 2018 and ex Naughty Dog employees. It's a bombshell along with GOW sequel.
god of war 4 is coming to pc, for jak and daxter i dont know anything, though you can emulate the games with pcsx2, but you have to configure the hacks and overclocks well due to the ps2 multi-cpu architecture being an pain to work with
Jacks first words define his character pretty much I always saw him as a bit of an anti hero in this and later games I always loved that about him especially this epic line in Jak X
@@doomarang3208 I was a teen when I played this and a lot of these innuendos flew right over my head. I'm only realizing how truly naughty, Naughty Dog is!
I think the other smol sign he was suspicious was when Daxter called the metal head leader ugly and Kor sounded insulted. He insulted the leader of the metal heads to his face.
"I've seen what Metal Heads do when they take a city. The destruction, the killing the devouring." "During my travels in the deep Wasteland I saw some of the bigger ones (Metal Heads)." "There's word from the Wasteland that Metal Head armies are on the move again." "Omen says your (Kor) voice sounds very familiar." "You saw the Metal Head Leader?!?!" Plus, every mission he sent you on was targeting Praxis never the Metal Heads.
Jak: This horrible place......is our world! Daxter: So those Metal Head guys destroyed everything when we went through that rift gate? Hang on, gotta take this. (jumps off of Jak so he can drop to his knees in anger) YOU MANIACS, YOU BLEW IT UP! DAMN YOU! DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL! (starts crying into the ground) Jak: Are you done?
This story was the best of the franchise and my favorite as well. It's also my favorite game of the franchise as well. And probably my favorite platformer.
I only beat this game once. It's honestly a masterpiece. They don't make games like these anymore. I miss the early 2000s Edit: I just bought a PS4 and the Jak and Dax bundle. Thanks for the likes btw.
The best game in the entire franchise. At least in my opinion. Syndrome: SURE IT WAS DIFFICULT... But who cares? It was still a great game. The story was the best part. But I also loved the gameplay. This game gives me so much nostalgia. I miss playing it. I also miss my childhood.
Yeah, and the actress who plays Ashelin is also in the Justice League cartoon, Injustice, Justice League: Doom and Justice League Vs The Fatal Five as Wonder Woman.
Funny to see Jaks personality change through the series, in 2 he starts off angry but still has that childish side to him from the first game, in 3 he balances out by the end probably due to having both light and dark powers, in X he's a well rounded indestructible stone cold fearless badass with only a care for his closest friends
49:05. Well, too bad Keira. You're spending the next 3 games and the one prequel in the future. Get used to it. I also like how she says "the people are creepy" and then Krew appears.
56:27 is the funniest cutscene in the game bc they REALLY upped torn's weirdly flirty behavior in this one. the way he leans on the table. "I'll take your help any way i can get it." His facial expressions. Not to mention the way Jak gets SO mad when Torn mentions his men. "I don't care about your MEN" like SIR the JEALOUSY??
This game franchise is amazing. The whole series. I love how this takes a darker tone than the first. Max Casella is hilarious as the comedic relief of Daxter! The characters are very interesting, and there’s a lot of clues to who the “big bad” really is in this game. If you look at Kor’s outfit/headpiece, his comment about his “aching bones” and quick glances he gives at times…
jak and daxter's chemistry is iconic
Heck yeah 😀
Kind of like Sam and Max except if Max was shorter and had orange fur and Sam had long ears and way more weapons
One of the best duo
They remind me of Jay and Silent Bob. One is just always screaming about some dumb, inane shit... the other one just quietly nods in approval and only speaks if its really necessary. Lmao
Like Spyro and Sparx from The Legend of Spyro
This game is an absolute masterpiece, also perfectly encapsulates early 00’s much better and simpler times. They don’t make games like this anymore.
The precursor legacy will forever be my favorite one, honestly one of the best series kick off games ever
And they never will
I grew up on jak 2 so I bought the whole series recently and I must say playing Jak 2 after precursor legacy as a adult has completely changed my view of the game.
I thinks it's a good game that's much better than most modern games, but it's kind of disappointing.
The first has great platforming, every item meant something, and it felt like authentic exploration, and I think that was lost in the second.
The seconds combat is better but it's missions are to linear and the mission structure makes it feel less free flowing.
are you kidding me lol. the "shooting" is so bad you cant even aim. the game aims for you. and you constantly have to run across the city to pick up missions all that could have been done through a holo or something. half the missions are just "go kill" something BS so you can get a 10 second cutscene about the plot. only good thing it has going for it is the writing is really charming and the voice acting is good
The 2000's were Peak gaming we got Jak, half life, Doom 3, the Halo trilogy, cod waw, and so much more.
"Find yourself, Jack" amazing foreshadowing, one of the many instances of it in this game.
It was foreshadowing AND Samos was telling him to LITERALLY look for himself.
Samos started remembering right before they entered the rift.
"You cannot hide from me boy"
"So this is how it happened..."
Yet jak couldn't even recognize himself as a kid
Thinking about it I probably wouldn't recognize my self as a little kid
I didn't notice this back when I first played the game all those years ago, but when Jak is dealing with Daxter, he acts more like his old self; amused with Daxter's antics and more likely to smile.

4:17 His first spoken line being a threat to the villain really defines how he feels about him.
It was also great tone shift from the kid friendly previous game
He turned him into a dark eco science experiment the minute he landed in the future. There wouldn’t be many other words to say about someone who tortured you for so long.
@Logia dude You just gave me gamer ptsd
@Logia SD I still jump a mile when I hear that growl in Rock Village near the sunken city
Mom: "Honey, he's gonna say his first words!"
Jak: "I'm gonna *kill* Praxis!"
This game is a masterpiece. It literally could be a tv show
There was a cancelled Jak & Daxter movie

this game came out 18 years ago and it still looks good
Jak's first words was a promise of vengeance. Awesome!
I love this game
Good gameplay, voice actors and good characters
even the cutscenes!
@@DRigg100 yes
36:30 jesus Christ dax, not in front of the kids
No wonder his bar is named "the naughty ottsel"
What about 1:35:04 yikes 😲
This is not a kid's game Why you think this game is rated T for teens?
@@doomarang3208 I was a teen when I played this and a lot of these innuendos flew right over my head. I'm only realizing how truly naughty, Naughty Dog is!
How about 23:41 ?
49:50 Daxter: Rawr
MrPwner911 I just now heard that after seeing you point it out😂
Lol
Lmao I never noticed that!! 😂😂😂🤣🤣
I love how at 50:54 at first Jak looks like he doesn't buy this story, but then in the reflection of the bar he looks super impressed xD
Supposedly, that story happened in daxters game
Man the dialogue and voice acting, cutscenes, and all were top tier.
Look at sig stacking peacemaker ammo like a true speedrunner
One of my favourite Daxter moments
9:42 is where it starts
rofl, I felt so bad for him there.
One of mine was at 56:05 . He didn't do anything and he still got hurt.
22:37 Jak? You okay, my guy? 😂
Me think he got a crush/bit by the love/eye bug and gaga/puppy love also person got your gorgeous eye👁 on you her behind the curtain.
59:40 should have been a small sign that Kor was suspicious
I think the other smol sign he was suspicious was when Daxter called the metal head leader ugly and Kor sounded insulted.
He insulted the leader of the metal heads to his face.
There were multiple signs throughout the game. Notice his face when Daxter mentions the Baron plans to double cross the Metal Heads as one example.
"I've seen what Metal Heads do when they take a city. The destruction, the killing the devouring."
"During my travels in the deep Wasteland I saw some of the bigger ones (Metal Heads)."
"There's word from the Wasteland that Metal Head armies are on the move again."
"Omen says your (Kor) voice sounds very familiar."
"You saw the Metal Head Leader?!?!"
Plus, every mission he sent you on was targeting Praxis never the Metal Heads.
Jak: This horrible place......is our world!
Daxter: So those Metal Head guys destroyed everything when we went through that rift gate? Hang on, gotta take this. (jumps off of Jak so he can drop to his knees in anger) YOU MANIACS, YOU BLEW IT UP! DAMN YOU! DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL! (starts crying into the ground)
Jak: Are you done?
I understood the Madagascar reference... Or Planet of The Apes reference?
Planet of the apes my friend
@@inconvenientcricket7017 "Monkey Planet" lmao
After watching the PS5 reveal I'm sad there was no Jak 4 :(
Now I'm left to watching such a great trilogy
My god this game takes me back when I first played it on my brother's PS2 it hard to believe this game is over 20 years old now.
The way sig calls them cherries and chili peppers is so smooth like idk anyone else who could get away with it😂😂
34:41 That transition, comedic!
The way Daxter says "Ah. The valve." never fails to amuse me.
This story was the best of the franchise and my favorite as well. It's also my favorite game of the franchise as well. And probably my favorite platformer.
Goddamn I never realized just how good the facial animation is in this game, and the models look fantastic for PS2
Can’t get over how amazing the metal head leaders VA is! He’s so awesome to listen to
It amazes me that they managed to take such a drastic change in gameplay and somehow made it work.
20:38 Friendly reminder that these two are the heroes of the game
I only beat this game once. It's honestly a masterpiece. They don't make games like these anymore. I miss the early 2000s
Edit: I just bought a PS4 and the Jak and Dax bundle. Thanks for the likes btw.
"Ah... Sorry. He's new to the whole conversation thing"
Literally hahahahhaahahah
23:40 Dax? Your eyes are big enough that everyone knows where you're looking~ 🤣🤣
This game was amazing. The best in the series for sure.
This game had a massive impact on me as a kid. The art style was the reason I fell in love with games. First time I was ever immersed.
The best game in the entire franchise. At least in my opinion.
Syndrome: SURE IT WAS DIFFICULT...
But who cares? It was still a great game. The story was the best part. But I also loved the gameplay.
This game gives me so much nostalgia. I miss playing it. I also miss my childhood.
Yeah, and the actress who plays Ashelin is also in the Justice League cartoon, Injustice, Justice League: Doom and Justice League Vs The Fatal Five as Wonder Woman.
@@alexdesoto1504 Yeah, I know.
Also, Kor is Blight. Praxis is Mr. Krabs, Byron Hadley, and Lex Luthor. And Sig is Samurai Jack.
Jak 3 is better, more varied gameplay.
FACTS BETS GAME
Funny to see Jaks personality change through the series, in 2 he starts off angry but still has that childish side to him from the first game, in 3 he balances out by the end probably due to having both light and dark powers, in X he's a well rounded indestructible stone cold fearless badass with only a care for his closest friends
Can I just say that jak is one of the most badass characters his voice after really does nail the performance
49:05. Well, too bad Keira. You're spending the next 3 games and the one prequel in the future. Get used to it.
I also like how she says "the people are creepy" and then Krew appears.
I’m just gonna say Edgelord Jak May have been one of the best ideas Naughty Dog ever had.
Terry R. Jak wasnt that edgy, maybe little
Patrik He really wasn’t honestly but my point still stands.
30:10 Daxter OMG 😂
56:27 is the funniest cutscene in the game bc they REALLY upped torn's weirdly flirty behavior in this one. the way he leans on the table. "I'll take your help any way i can get it." His facial expressions. Not to mention the way Jak gets SO mad when Torn mentions his men. "I don't care about your MEN" like SIR the JEALOUSY??
36:33 I love it when daxter explains stuff
This game franchise is amazing. The whole series. I love how this takes a darker tone than the first. Max Casella is hilarious as the comedic relief of Daxter! The characters are very interesting, and there’s a lot of clues to who the “big bad” really is in this game. If you look at Kor’s outfit/headpiece, his comment about his “aching bones” and quick glances he gives at times…
I literally laughed out loud at 59:17 . At least he was safe
Not for me, some guards ended up getting tossed and dying. They even drop ammo.
