Welcome to the club. Sony never should have outsourced the last game, if that did not happen, it would have came out a year or 2 later, and be regarded better. And there would be a real chance of a new game in 2022. Who would have known outsourcing development AND story in your "swan song for the series" would be a bad idea.

A few years ago I drew Daxter (not posted here) frustrated people do not draw Tess enough, I'm glad the situation is being fixed.

The two leaked cutscenes from when Naughty Dog were still doing Jak 4 looked SO much better then what we got.
Sadly Sony and ND dont seem to have any interest in reviving their old IPs and even if they did, modern ND is completely different to the one from the early 2000s; I doubt they would be able to create something that feels the same.

Well of course! I am glad more and more people are waking up to the fact old companies still around today ≠≠≠ same people.

If a Lost Frontier remake somehow happened (where is my rich uncle who works at Sony?), there is an easy way to make a new game. Have ANY brand new and skilled team make it, but re-hire key members of old ND to oversee. Rehire the lead writer, and lead artist at the MINIMUM. It cannot be overstated just how crucial those 2 men were to making the games what they are today. You may even get some extra people, like the lead animator. Did you know most if not all animation in the games was done manually, without mo-cap?
