Darmik 05/20/20 6:54:00 PM #21:	Damn_Underscore posted... Blinx had a really great concept, not sure if the games were any good They were okay. A bit weirdly slow paced for a platformer. Too hard too. 10 minute time limits? Come on. [LFAQs-redacted-quote] Speaking of things that haven't aged well https://web.archive.org/web/20070205015040/http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=89534 Can you talk us through how you came up with the concept for Jak II after the last game? Rubin: Even though we did really well with the first, we wanted to mess with the formula. If you look at what's popular now, things have changed. It's not like the days of Crash 1 and 2 when character action games ruled the world. They have to fight harder these days. We've moved the entire atmosphere of the game to a higher age group. Gamers like me are still playing. I'm 33 and what I want now is very different from what I wanted ten years ago. Ten years ago you didn't have the choice to play Grand Theft Auto. You played Mario because Mario was what's available. Well, Pandora's box has opened and younger kids want to play what older kids are playing and older kids are playing Grand Theft Auto. This isn't about saving a princess; it's about revenge, betrayal. You might think that doesn't sound original, but think of Mario going out for revenge, or Sonic. It's not a character action thing to do. Jak's changed a lot. He's older, he's been to prison and he's angry. Jak is not a character action hero of the past. Everything in the game is changed. You can use stuff at any time. And I mean that: if you're on a tiny platform and you pull it out, you'll die - we're not going to prevent you from doing that. You have to think things through differently. As you said, people's tastes have changed. Whereas ten years ago, Mario was the biggest thing on the planet, people want to play Vice City now. Rubin: I stood in line watching two kids who must've been between seven and nine. They were going to their Mum: "It's so cool! You get to pick up hookers!" And the mum just said: "That's cool. We'll be going home soon." If they're getting those games, that's where the world is right now. The first Jak and Daxter was heavily influenced by games like Mario 64, and was quite twee and colourful in relation to Jak II. Mario Sunshine, a game in the traditional twee style, performed below expectations - did that have any impact on the direction you were taking Jak II in? Rubin: It definitely redoubled my belief that you have to push the genre forward, because when I put that game in and expected Miyamoto greatness, and the characters came out saying: "Bloop! Bloop! Bloop!" I was like, that is 1997. I don't need that in 2003. Give me a character with a voice and a personality, and more of a cinematic experience. Don't give me Mario from 15 years ago. They just haven't moved on; that's not their focus. I think its very hard for Miyamoto to both run Nintendo - which he does to a certain extent - and get into the game design. I don't think I would be necessarily disparaging Miyamoto himself to say that Mario Sunshine did not live up to my expectations. It may just be that he doesn't have enough time to get his hands on that stuff anymore, but I wasn't that excited about that game. I thought Ratchet and Clank was far more interesting. --- Kind Regards, Darmik <cite>Darmik posted [p:939462052] in Mario, Son...
