Californian development outfit High Impact Games is currently working on the sixth instalment of the Jak & Daxter series.

Jak & Daxter: The Lost Frontier will not, however, be released for the PS3. The title is instead being built for the PSP and the recently-discounted PS2, and has been given a “Fall” release window.

Along with the new PS3 exclusive Ratchet and Clank title, Sony is approaching the lucrative family market with well-known and universally-appealling characters on all three of its systems.

Developer High Impact Games has previously worked on two titles, both of which were Ratchet and Clank games. Secret Agent Clank, as well as Size Matters, were both released on the PSP and PS2.

Nintendo used to clean up with a yearly big release for their dead platform. I am sure given the PS2 installation base, that will be the same here.

The first Rachet & Clank game excels in its first levels - after that both graphics and level design get sloppy - in my opinion. Jak & Daxter games have always been more consistent and have been slightly better overall - again, in my opinion. A non-PS2 Jak & Daxter game would definitely be nice.

The announcement of this game was another sign of how bad Sony marketing has become. On the PlayStation Blog everyone thought that this announcement was an April Fool's joke as they couldn't believe Sony would follow up the disappopinting "big" news of a PS2 price drop with the announcement of a new game for the PS2 (and PSP) - and these are die-hard Sony fans.

They should have bundled these announcements together and not hyped it as "big" news, simply releasing a standard press release.

Good news, but I think PS3 would also benefit from a true sequel to the series.
