Game Build:Jak II (Earlier Demo)

Hmmm...

This page describes a build of a Jak and Daxter game. Check Game Build Database for more information. This build is available for download on Hidden Palace. This build has a research article on TCRF.

Hmmm...

Notice: This page will talk about the demo as if it was in "retail mode", because many of the features are unavailable otherwise.

The Jak II (Earlier Demo) is the earliest build of Jak II that we have access to.

Missions

Several missions are available in this build, but most of them are not completely playable due to missing files.

The table below lists all the missions in this build, along with the names of the same missions in the retail version. The colors indicate how playable the mission is when started from the mission selector:

• not playable at all (does not start)
• partially playable (can not be completed)
• fully playable

Internal name	Retail version equivalent	Notes	Video link
fortress-escape	Escape from Fortress (probably)	Missing the Fortress level files.	-
city-help-kid	Protect Kor and Kid (probably)	Missing the asset file for Kor.	-
ruins-tower	Retrieve banner from Dead Town (probably)	Missing the Dead Town level files.	-
atoll-water	Find Pumping Station valve	Pretty much identical to final version.	-
fortress-dump	Blow up ammo at Fortress	Missing the Fortress level files.	-
city-krew-delivery	Make delivery to Hip Hog Saloon	Very similar, but the pre-scripted guard zoomers are not there.	watch
city-red-gun-training	Beat Scatter Gun Course	Very similar, Sig talks more.	-
atoll-sig	Protect Sig at the Pumping Station	Pretty much identical to final version.	-
sewer-enemy	Destroy turrets in Sewers (probably)	Missing the Sewers level files.	-
strip-rescue	Rescue Vin at Strip Mine	Pretty much identical to final version.	-
atoll-battle	Find Pumping Station patrol	Pretty much identical to final version.	-
mountain-lens	Find lens in Mountain Temple (probably)	Missing the Mountain Temple level files.	-
mountain-gear	Find gear in Mountain Temple (probably)	Missing the Mountain Temple level files.	-
mountain-shard	Find shard in Mountain Temple (probably)	Missing the Mountain Temple level files.	-
city-keira-delivery	Beat time to Race Garage	The Stadium level is missing. You can hit the destination in the void, but you won't be able to finish this mission.	-
city-board1	Win JET-Board Stadium challenge (probably)	Missing the Stadium level file.	-
city-krew-collection	Collect money for Krew	The goal of the mission is the same, to collect money. But their locations are very different. The distance from the next target is displayed on the HUD. Also, there are arrows above the bags, pointing down onto them.	-
city-yellow-gun-training	Beat Blaster Gun Course	Very similar, but it seems that this gun course is not finished yet because it ends early.	-
city-power	Turn on five power switches	Somewhat different. Information about the turrets is displayed when they are nearby, in the form of text on the top-left corner of the screen. The turrets do not automatically attack Jak, you need to provoke them first using the guard alert system. You don't need to press any buttons, destroying the turrets is enough. The location of some of the turrets is different (for example, one of them is at the Port). The mission can not be finished because one of the turrets is at the Stadium, but its level file is missing.	-
city-shuttle	Shuttle Underground Fighters	Somewhat different. The location of the fighters and the targets are different, but close. They are much closer to doors in general. The fighters appear as slim male civilians. Touching a fighter with your Zoomer will fail the mission, probably because it hurts the fighter. The HUD displays your distance from your next target. The fighters do not walk/run to enter your Zoomer: they will just simply teleport into it when you are close enough, same thing when you are delivering them to their targets.	watch
ruins-enemy	Protect site in Dead Town (probably)	Missing the Dead Town level files.	-
forest-scouts	Catch Scouts in Haven Forest (probably)	Missing the Haven Forest level files.	-
city-escort-kid	Escort Kid to Power Station (probably)	No idea, the game crashes before we could see what is going on.	-
strip-grenade	Blow up Strip Mine Eco Wells	It seems to be impossible to throw any bombs into the wells. Also, the game crashes when the timer runs out, which makes this mission only partially playable.	-
city-meet-brutter	Rescue Lurkers for Brutter (probably)	There is a purple marker on the minimap but the level file is missing for the section of the city where the marker is.	-
city-port-run	?	Seems to be an inperfect copy of city-krew-collection, but this mission is different: there are no arrows above the bags, you have a set time for the whole mission, all the bags are available from the start, and some of them are not marked on the map.	-
sewer-board	Drain Sewers to find statue (probably)	Missing the Sewers level files.	-
forest-hunt	Hunt Haven Forest Metal Heads (probably)	Missing the Haven Forest level files.	-
city-intercept-tanker	Intercept Tanker (probably)	Missing the needed Bazaar level file.	-
tomb-poles	Pass the First Test of Manhood (probably)	Missing the Mar's Tomb level files.	-
tomb-water	Pass the Second Test of Manhood (probably)	Missing the Mar's Tomb level files.	-
tomb-boss	Defeat Baron in Mar's tomb (probably)	Missing the Mar's Tomb level files. Also, we can not know for certain who was the boss here at this point in development.	-
strip-drop	Destroy eggs in Strip Mine	Pretty much identical to final version.	-
ruins-mech	Get Life Seed in Dead Town (probably)	Missing the Dead Town level files.	-
sewer-escort	Escort men through Sewers (probably)	Missing the Sewers level files.	-
forest-protect	Protect Samos in Haven Forest (probably)	Missing the Haven Forest level files.	-
