Daxter Engine To Run Other Games

Jak and Daxter, the franchise originally developed for PS2, was one of the streaming video games with almost no load times. Many consider Jak and Daxter right up there with Super Mario 64 and Banjo-Kazooie in the platforming genre. Its Daxter engine continued its impressive showing when it appeared on the PSP as Ratchet and Clank: Size Matters.

Ready at Dawn president and co-founder Didier Malenfant announced the company is licensing the engine that powered Daxter to other companies. “The engine could be used to do a wide variety of third and first person games,” said Malenfant, “and it would actually produce quite awesome racing games too.” But no, the company isn’t junking the engine it built. Ready at Dawn said its upcoming title will run on it.
