It says that The Lost Frontier is part of the main series, but it really isn't. I've tried to change this, but people change it back. It definately isn't a main series game because in the opening credits, it says "BASED on the franchise developed by Naughty Dog." I hope to change it, but like I say people keep changing it. Please, this needs to be changed it's wrong, so if I do change it, please don't change it back User:MatoroFreeze 16:24, 23 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Is Not a Spin-off

This game really not is a Spin Off, that message in te opening credits is because Naughty Dog don't exist anymore and now the game is make for HigImpact Games. Dont change this anymore. Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.89.37.216 (talk) 17:38, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the second comment. It is not a spinoff. It would certainly say based on because it wasn't made by Naughty Dog, they are giving credit where it is due. But it is the fourth platformer, it follows the story, it is not a remake or made with new characters. I honestly think you should perhaps see if other people agree with you before you leave it.JesusFreak89 (talk) 07:11, 24 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is not a spin off. Agree with the first two comments. If it were a spin off it would share no gameplay elements with the previous games and/or it would not continue the Jak story. This game clearly does continue the series with extremely similar gameplay. A simply subtitle saying that does NOT warrant it to be labeled a spin off.

I agree with the three previous statements. For The Lost Frontier to be a spinoff, it would have to be a story that takes place within the same universe, and feature an existing character or brand new characters. Daxter is a spinoff because the focus is solely on him. Sarujo (talk) 18:04, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This article says it's continuation of the original series. http://www.computerandvideogames.com/212333/sony-reveals-jak-and-daxter-the-lost-frontier/. It's not a spin off.--ETLamborghini (talk) 12:36, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

An HD Collection has been included in the list of games in the franchise, this should be deleted because the only link provided says that this is a rumon. If it is needed on the page, put in a future catagory and mention that it is a rumor. Please delete it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.98.201.211 (talk) 04:58, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

An HD Collection has been announced but it has yet to be determined what studio is actually developing it, so it does not belong on the Naughty Dog page, please stop adding it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.179.121.183 (talk) 01:36, 10 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A trailer was released. It is not a rumor. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.153.3.255 (talk) 21:43, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

These seems to be dispute going with new information regarding the franchise's future. So BRD cycle must be used. Sarujo (talk) 16:23, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The fact that Naughty Dog considered making a new Jak and Daxter game for the PS3 is very important so I don't see why Jack Fisher kept reverting my edits and not giving a logical reason why. Anyway now that the topic has it's own section I guess the edit war is over. ---StevenBjerke 16:39, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know why some people seem to think that Daxter and Jak X are spin-offs when in reality they are both 100 % canon. Their are numerous references in Jak X to Daxter and references to Jak X in TLF. It's been confirmed many times that both are canon and I can provide over a dozen links that support it. If anyone has any objection to this please say so otherwise I will continue to revert the edits of the people who continue to add the games into the spin-off category. Thank you. ---StevenBjerke 21:38, 15 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Canon is not the deciding factor of what a spin-off is, but rather the genera or story focus/deviation. Daxter is a spin-off due mostly to the fact that it focus' on Daxter while Jak was tortured by Baron Praxus. It deviates from the main story to present a side story. Jak X is considered a spin-off due to the game's focus on racing rather than being a platform action game. The Lost Frontier is not a spin-off as it is another platformer with Jak and Daxter are the main playable characters.

Would you consider Metal Gear Rising a part of the main series for being canon to the established Metal Gear Solid continuity, despite the fact that developers stated that it is a spin-off? Or how about the 2012 Tomb Raider? That game is a reboot, but is still considered apart of the main series. Sarujo (talk) 03:10, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I like the idea of calling them "Other games" rather then Spin-offs. I don't consider them spin-offs, but they really aren't part of the "Main series". The compromise of "Other games" sounds reasonable. _Blake ^{(Talk·Edits)} 03:43, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Alright Other games is fine will me as well. ---StevenBjerke 16:48, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
