Frankly, it hasn't aged well, and no amount of filters and shading will fix that. You see, HD remakes can't perform miracles, and The Precursor Legacy was developed back in 2001. Unfortunately, that's not the feeling you will get if you play the original Precursor Legacy.
If you are a graphics junkie, then playing both of these games again will make you feel warm and fuzzy inside. Jak II is also quite impressive graphically, with environments that look far better than their SD counterparts. Jak 3 is easily the prettiest game in the collection, almost looking like an early PS3 launch title. However, not every game in the series was converted equally. The models are crisp, the animations are smooth, and the textures look a lot less pixelated than one would remember them being. The games have obviously been updated graphically for the HD generation of consoles. However, it's merely a nostalgia buy for any longtime fans that already have Jak 1-3 sitting on their shelf. This makes the Jak and Daxter Collection an immense deal for anyone who hasn't played the originals. Jak 1, 2, and 3 were some of the best games ever created for the PS2, and were probably Naughty Dog's best pre-Uncharted work. Luckily, the overall quality of the original games does a lot to make up for it. The recently released Jak and Daxter Collection falls into the "too little" category. Change too much and your fan base will blast you for attempting to fix something that wasn't broken.
Change too little and your fan base sees little reason to buy the remake when they can just play the original games instead. Remaking an old franchise in HD is a delicate art.
