* FranchiseKiller: This game pretty much killed any hopes for a future regarding the ''VideoGame/JakAndDaxter'' franchise, at least for the time being; only HD rereleases of the first three games were put out on the UsefulNotes/PlayStation3, with said games and ''Jak X'' being rereleased on UsefulNotes/PlayStation4, and the odds of an entirely new game are pretty slim. Creator/NaughtyDog did attempt to do a ContinuityReboot, but cancelled it when they found their ideas didn't gel well with the franchise at all, turning those ideas into ''VideoGame/TheLastOfUs'' and leaving this as the last new game in the series, at least for now.

* SequelGap: A four-year gap following ''Jak X'', though if one were to focus only on the platformers, then that would make it a five-year gap due to ''Jak 3'' launching in 2004. In Japan, this is even ''longer'', as this was their follow-up after ''Jak II'', which launched in 2003, meaning they had a six-year gap due to ''3'' and ''X'' never seeing Japanese releases during their initial runs.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: The [=PSP=] version will become unavailable once the [=PS3=] and [=PS=] Vita storefronts shut down, meaning physical copies of the [=PS2=] and [=PSP=] versions will be the only way to get the game, and even then, those have been long out of print themselves.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The game actually started development at Creator/NaughtyDog, who tried developing it alongside ''[[VideoGame/{{Uncharted}} Uncharted: Drake's Fortune]]''. However, a combination of frustrations with new technology, difficulty with the ''Uncharted'' project and many employees resigning led to Naughty Dog to abandon the project and then hand it to High Impact Games. As noted above, [[CreatorBacklash they regret the end results]]. One wonder what Naughty Dog's version might have been like as a result.
