Jak and Daxter! Oh how I love you, though you continue to recede into the recesses of my brain-skull. Naughty Dog almost revived you, and then realized they could make way, way, way more  money making that Ellen Page Zombies Game they’re working on.

Uncharted is one of my favorite franchises of this generation. It’s done right by me, and millions. Yet, I cannot help but miss Naughty Dog’s previous go-to, Jak and Daxter. So while I never get very excited for an HD remake (outside of MGS), this announcement has my balls a buzzin’.

Hey, let’s churn some obvious bullshit and pass it off as news!

Via Kotaku:

[Uncharted 2] doesn’t conclude the story at all. The expectation with Uncharted 2 is that it can be an ongoing franchise as long as people want more of it.

Wait, really? This news blows my mind for two reasons:

1) I thought middle installments of stories always conclude the tale.

2) I always thought they didn’t make sequels to successful franchises because they didn’t want to milk it to death.

Seriously, this is staggering news. As a non-snarky aside, I can’t wait for Uncharted 2. The original game is still my favorite PS3-exclusive. It doesn’t pioneer anything, but it executes on so many levels with bonerfying proficiency. Hilarious typical wise-ass lead, beautiful visuals, addictive and challenging gameplay, the quinessential shotgun of fury. Every game should have a shotgun of fury. It’s scientifically established the shotgun is the coolest gun in any video game. Ever.

But seriously Naughty Dog, this is good news. But could you take a break and give me a PS3 Jak and Daxter? I’ll sell my nana to you. And my dad.
