One of the reasons for Jak's new look is that he's been banished to the wasteland, the vast barren reaches beyond Haven City's walls. Where the original Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy featured a young clean-shaven Jak and Jak II had Jak looking a little rougher with a goatee, expect an even more grizzled look for the third installment. As the story progresses and time passes, Jak will also be growing up. There is still a possibility of future games with Jak and Daxter, however, but this will close out the current story arc. More than just concluding Rubin's stay with Naughty Dog, Jak 3 will also close out a storyline that has always been intended as a trilogy. We recently had a chance to play through a few of the levels down at Naughty Dog headquarters in Santa Monica and we saw a work in progress that is sure to be an incredible recent addition to Rubin's resume. So what's the good news here? As his final job at Naughty Dog he's helping to make sure that Jak 3 will be one of the best platformers around his holiday season. After helping to bring both Crash Bandicoot and the duo of Jak and Daxter to life on the PS One and PS2, he's calling it quits. It was a sad day when it was announced that Jason Rubin would be leaving Naughty Dog for an uncertain future.
