Rift Apart looks like it could be the best in the franchise.

Also Artists: "commissions well paid"

Adding Rivet was like a double whammy for them.

I'm still partial to the first Jak and Daxter, which was more of a traditional platformer. I never liked the darker/edgy and more shooter-platformer move Naughty Dog made with Jak II and Jak 3. Possibly because I already felt that Ratchet & Clank had the shooter-platformer base covered so well, I wanted Jak and Daxter to be more of Sony's answer to Mario. I've played through every Jak game released on PS2, but I only gone back and replayed 3 times now the original.

I don't think I ever finished the original. Jak2 was my first and favourite by far. I also skipped ratchet and clank on ps2, not sure why. So jak2 remains in my heart.

Having got a PS5 on day one, apart from Astros Playroom and the faster load times, I haven't been blown away by this current generation. Watching this demo though changes things - this looks like one I'll be ordering. The game looks stunning.

You almost never get blown away now by a generation until at least a year or so into it!

Unless it is like 50 hours long, then £70 is a con.

Why? How much money do you spend at the theatres to get through 20 to 50 hrs of run time? How do you justify value per hr in dollars?

People evaluate value differently, if you are happy for short games that is ok. I do not go to theatres.
