High Impact Games was an American video game developer based in Burbank, California, formed in 2004 by former Insomniac Games and Naughty Dog members. In 2007, the company released Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters for the PlayStation Portable, with a PlayStation 2 port released the next year, and Secret Agent Clank in 2008, also for the PlayStation Portable. On November 3, 2009,[2] the company released its third game, Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier, for the PlayStation Portable and PlayStation 2. The game was based on the Jak & Daxter series made by Naughty Dog.[3] In 2010, High Impact Games was developing a remake of Crash Team Racing for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii, but the publisher Activision canceled the game before the initial prototype was made.[4] In 2011, an environmental artist who had worked on some games, revealed that High Impact Games was working on a new project for the Wii.[5] This game was revealed to be Phineas and Ferb: Across the 2nd Dimension.[6]
