It's pathetic how resources will need to be wasted on making a remastered version of something that doesn't even need it just so a new audience can participate in a mini hype cycle.

Maybe it won't be until we're 60 and we realize that the best games are the ones that stand the test of time, similar to movies. Too many people are still in their adolescent phase of gaming where the only things worth playing are the things released current year.

Jak hit differently though. It had a good mix of great platforming and creative use of graphics. If anything without Jak I wouldn't have played rift apart or sly.

Ok?

I'm saying is that modern game engines and rendering tech allow a lot of the things that are good about these games to be turned up to eleven, both in terms of gameplay and art.

Sure they do. Just not often enough.
