New Jak game rumoured for PSP

This is the kind of news story made possible by the internet. A NEOgaf forum user has leaked news that the next Jak and Daxter game will be released on PSP, and it won't be developed by Naughty Dog, but an outside studio. The user made the revelation during the following monologue:

"OK. Anyone notice I hinted at the Uncharted 2 reveal before the end of the year? I hinted at something else...

"It's not PS3"

"Jak and Daxter will be out for the PSP soon."

"Clever. Ain't Naughty Dog either.

So there could be another Naughty Dog game. i won't tell you about."

After which he apparently deleted his post. Rejoice, then, if you're a PSP owner who likes platform games. There may or may not be one coming, depending on what happens. There's already been a Daxter game on PSP, of course (pictured), developed by Ready at Dawn. Given the success of that title, it's reasonable to suppose that the same studio will produce this game, if it exists.

More amusingly, this news originated on ps3life.nl, and arrived in my brain by way of Google Translator (and N4G). The veracity of the rumour rests on the fact that it comes from the same source that accurately predicted the arrival of an Uncharted 2 trailer.

"Is this mysterious person in a leaky mechanic Spike TV (which contributes to the assembly of Spike's VGA event), or is it really here for one of the developers having trouble keeping his mouth, who will say. We see this rumor, if it is true, of course, as the reason for our PSP again from the dust, because Sony's Jak series, as we had after part of three still not enough."

Damn straight.
