The story begins with Samos the Sage, the master of Green Eco, speaking cryptically of the Precursors, the masters of the universe and creators of all life on the planet. As he still has questions of their existence, Samos is searching for answers. He elaborates on two young boys, the fifteen-year-old Jak (who refuses to heed Samos' teachings) and his best friend Daxter. The two decide to make their way to Misty Island, the one place Samos told them not to go.
 
{{main|Jak II}}
The game features new weapons and devices, new playable areas, and a storyline that picks up after the events of ''The Precursor Legacy''. The game's plot is much darker than its predecessor's, set in Haven City, a [[dystopia]] ruled under the iron fist of Baron Praxis, who is engaged in a war against a techno-organic group of organisms known as the "Metal Heads". As in the previous game, the player takes on the dual role of recurring protagonists Jak and Daxter. There are also a new array of characters such as Torn, Erol, Krew, Kor, Ashelin, and Sig, as well as some returning ones, such as Samos and Keira. ''Jak II'' is both a sequel and prequel to the first game.
 
{{main|Jak 3}}
''Jak 3'' begins with Jak being banished from Haven City by Count Veger for his supposed crimes towards Haven City, that caused the war. Ashelin gives Jak a beacon before she leaves with Veger and the guards. Pecker and Daxter stay behind with Jak as he is left to die in the Wasteland. As they trail along the painful deserts, they all pass out from the heat and lack of water. They are found by a group of Wastelanders due to the beacon, and they are taken to the city of Spargus. Jak and Daxter then meet Damas, king of Spargus, who has an important missions for Jak; if Jak completes these missions, Damas will allow Jak to stay in Spargus.

==Remastered features==
The core game and story for all games remains unchanged with the remastered versions. For the remastering, all three games have had a graphics overhaul to allow them to support modern 720p HD resolution with smoother gameplay animation. With the more powerful PlayStation 3, all three games feature a fixed frame rate of 60 frames per second in normal mode, while in 3D mode the games run at 30 frames per second. All three games have PlayStation Network trophy support.

==Development==
Prior to the announcement of the ''Collection'', several other (''[[God of War (series)#God of War Collection|God of War Collection]]'' (2009), ''[[The Sly Collection]]'' (2010), ''[[God of War (series)#God of War: Origins Collection|God of War: Origins Collection]]'' (2011) and ''[[The Ico & Shadow of the Colossus Collection]]'' (2011)) remastered collections of PlayStation 2 games had been made for the PlayStation 3 by Sony Computer Entertainment, bannered as Classics HD in PAL regions (North American copies simply have the subtitle "Remastered in High Definition" or "HD Collection").<ref>http://www.joystiq.com/2010/06/28/classics-hd-line-for-ps3-in-europe-starting-with-sly-collecti/</ref> One of the reasons why this brand was created is that PlayStation 2 titles are not compatible with most PlayStation 3 consoles (only the 20 GB and 60 GB models, and the first iteration of the 80 GB model are compatible). After much rumor, speculation and fans request, a ''HD Collection'' of the ''Jak and Daxter'' series was confirmed for a February 2012 release.<ref name=announcment/>
 
In May 2011, Naughty Dog stated that ''Jak and Daxter'' is still on the mind of the developer as well. Co-presidant Evan Wells said he'd love to make another in the series, but the studio is busy with ''[[Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception]]''.<ref>http://www.computerandvideogames.com/310194/naughty-dog-wed-love-to-make-another-jak-and-daxter/</ref> In October 2011, according to Digital Spy, an online business in South Africa known as BT Games had a ''Jak and Daxter HD Collection'' listed for release in January 2012.<ref>http://ps3.ign.com/articles/119/1197944p1.html</ref> According to Gematsu.com, which spotted the South African listing, also pointed to a source hinting that a ''Jak Collection'' was in the works back in May.<ref>http://www.computerandvideogames.com/320922/jak-and-daxter-hd-collection-listed-by-retailer/</ref> Naughty Dog’s Game Director, Justin Richmond, apparently confirmed that a ''Jak and Daxter HD Collection'' for PS3 is in development, and will be releasing sometime in 2012.<ref>http://playstationspill.no/artikkel/jak-and-daxter-spillene-i-hd/</ref> This occurred at a press conference in [[Oslo]], [[Norway]]. In November 2011, usk.de, Germany's official game's rating board (known as Unterhaltungssoftware Selbstkontrolle) had rated ''Jak & Daxter Trilogy'', basically confirmed that the game is coming out in Europe, though no rating had appeared on the ESRB's website, North American's official game's rating board. SCEA responded to IGN's request for a statement and confirmed that the ''Jak & Daxter Trilogy'', referred by SCEA as ''Jak & Daxter Collection'' was indeed real.<ref>http://ps3.ign.com/articles/121/1212038p1.html</ref> The ''Collection'' was officially confirmed by Evan Wells, Naughty Dog's Co-President on November 21, 2011.<ref name=announcment/>
