#seriously they wouldn't even have to change how 3 ended. just have Jak so distraught he didn't check for a pulse

In lieu of Free Day Friday (didn't have time this week 😭) I offer a very silly comic I drew

Premise: in Jak 3, is Damas's "death scene", it's fairly obvious that just his legs are pinned because 2003 software constraints I guess. Brain said "what if they'd brought him into Jak X without retconning the end of Jak 3 at all?" And this is what resulted

GT Blitz on pre-recorded video: "This is it, folks! The holy grail of tracks: the Arena of Death!"

Keira: "I'm sorry, Jak. I know it must be hard, being back in Spargus after losing your father."

(Her speech bubble is only partially visible because Jak is distracted when the footage switches to live)

Sig and approaching Wastelanders: "Hey! Let me see that camera for a sec."

GT Blitz: "We'll be right back folks-"

Sig (pulling camera lens towards him): "Jak, you better have a really good reason for running of to Kras now, of all times!"

Sig on the tv: "Don't run, kid. He's already there."

Keira: "Um...Jak?"

Jak: "ah...should've called, I guess...Still. What's he going to do? Call my da-"

(Door slams open)

Damas: "YOU."

Jak, Keira, and Daxter: "I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD!"
