Hello everyone, I just wanted to know if there is any significant difference between running the game on ps2 & ps3 :)
On PS3 HD Collection the Citadel Skip bug is patched and loading times are slower. I don't know exactly how much time the loads account for in total, but not being able to skip citadel loses multiple minutes in any%.
If you wanted to compete with a minimal disadvantage you could run No Major Skips or probably 100% as well (or if you don't care that much about top-level competition you could still run any% anyway :P )
Also, if you don't have the game for PS2 and decide to get it, try to get a black label copy. This release is the most likely to have the citadel bug (unfortunately the bug is not on every black label though, so even then it's not a complete guarantee, just more likely). A fair number of Platinum Editions (PAL only) seem to have it too.
Hopefully that answered your question. If you have anything else you wanna ask or need additional clarification, feel free to do so :)
Also lastly, just because you may want to know this as well, PS3 is the FASTEST version for Jak II and 3 due to load times. Jak 1 is an anomaly in this regard.
PAL BC PS3s supposedly run the game really poorly and cause the game to crash randomly and when you pick up orbs. We don't know about NTSC PS3s though.
If you got it to work it might be slightly faster because of loads but it's hard to say.
I notice recently that this (and the other Jak games) got patches on PS4 claiming bug fixes. The others simply say bug fixes, but this one says "Updated to Greatest Hits version" - is that the PS3 version? Did it fix bugs relevant for speedrunning?
I'm not sure precisely when the patches dropped, but when I checked for updates on my PS4 games all four Jak games had patches waiting.
