Talk:In Theory - Jak and Daxter (Reboot)/@comment-9985996-20140105082556/@comment-11515627-20140430163457

I'll leave a review! Kinda bumping here, but, if you're going to reinvent the original characters as you posted (e.g. Krew, Mayor, Uncle, etc.) you should just use different characters altogether for a few reasons. In the original games, those characters weren't quite important enough to keep intact as far as naming goes, etc. If a Jak reboot were to take place, they'd want to do something completely fresh and completely new, not re-hash old material that didn't even really catch on (Jak's uncle to be exact).

Other than that, I do like the idea of Daxter not becoming an ottsel (that was kind of silly but I do see why they did it for gameplay reasons (e.g., how do we lug around this other protagonist?)). The Precursors obviously shouldn't have been Precursors and definitely should not have been mentally stupid (Ottsel Dummy, Ottsel Surfer, seriously? It's like ND is taking all their loyal J&D fans and slapping them in the face then telling them to choke on one).

I think Sig should be a mercenary type. Cooler than he was in the original game, he is now contracted and highly respected in the assassin/mercenary club and works for Krew. Same for Torn. He should come from the same mercenary group that Sig does. They should be close friends, but, while in Haven (or whatever city/location) they keep their separate ways as to avoid conflict in the city affairs since Torn works for the city (KG or Underground-type) while Sig works for Krew.

If you're going to add new colors of eco, they should be entirely different than other colors of eco (e.g. purple eco and black eco is most too much like dark eco, same, white eco is way too much like light eco. Use totally different colors.)

That's just my two cents. I've always loved the idea of a Jak and Daxter reboot. And I certainly think it's in Naughty Dog's future, just not any time soon. Give it about five years and I call an announcement of something new. :)

(P.S. I meant no disrespect or disparagement of Andy Gavin or Jason Rubin in pointing out some of the flaws. They make badass games.)
