Jak & Daxter: The Lost Frontier Unearths Another Retro Platinum Trophy for PS5, PS4 | Push Square

Sony’s emulation strategy has been fairly consistent adding Trophies to classic first-party titles, and upcoming PSP port Jak & Daxter: The Lost Frontier will not buck the trend. The game – technically the last mainline entry in Naughty Dog’s platforming series – first launched in 2009, and mixes traditional adventuring with aerial combat. It’s not a classic by any stretch, but it’s enjoyable enough.
And yes, as alluded, it’ll have a Platinum Trophy to unlock. This one actually looks a teeny bit more difficult to obtain than other recent retro re-releases on PS5 and PS4, as you’ll need to collect over 100 Precursor Orbs, for example. There are almost 300 in the game, so it shouldn’t prove too much of a challenge, but it still represents a bigger commitment than other outings.
Elsewhere, you’ll just need to engage with various minigames, upgrade your weapons and aircraft, and beat a number of bosses. The game only takes approximately eight hours to beat, so you shouldn’t have to dedicate too much time to this title in order to unlock your gong. You can find the full list of Trophies through here.

This is the only jak game I haven’t played and it should keep my monthly platinum streak going so I guess I’m one of five people that’s looking forward to playing lost frontier today.
@IndoorEnthusiast I'm also very excited for this. In general I felt the PSP iterations of Playstation franchises were very good (God of War, Ratchet and Clank, Resistance, Motorstorm etc.) though this clearly was an outlier.
That said, I just have a huge nostalgia and fascination in these games and this is one of the two Jak games I haven't played (the other being X), so I'll be looking forward to diving into both for a trophy hunt even if this isn't up to scratch with the mainline ND games.
I'd also really love for them to follow up next month with Daxter. Ready at Dawn is a fantastic developer and their PSP games really show it.
I only played the first jak and daxter game. Back in the PS2 I couldn't afford to buy every game I wanted. Looking forward to try this one. The PSP had some amazing gems.
Would be great if they did remake the originals like they did with crash and Spyro.
I’ll probably add this game to my download list. I’m a little too consumed by FF7 Rebirth to play anything else. Maybe I’ll sneak this in once I beat it and take a mild break from open world games.
I tried this before but
