Ape Escape for PlayStation 3 has been in development since 2006, it’s been revealed.According to Siliconera, the title could be connected in some form to Piposaru 2001, a spin-off of the series only released in Japan for PlayStation 2, which saw main character Spike vacuuming pairs of dirty underpants from the loony monkeys to clean them.
The Ape Escape themed level in Sony and Team Asobi's Astro Bot was developed by the original creators of the series.
Haven't played Astro Bot yet, but it is on my to buy list! Ape Escape was such a fun game.
Team Asobi could definitely pull it off
It would be nice to switch between Astro Bot and another IP like Ape Escape.
Was playing some more Ape Escape last night. I like it but wow, the controls! That stage where it's a 1 on 1 race with the other guy. Is that even possible to win?? Fighting the camera the entire time, and how do you use that water jet thing without sinking below the surface of the water? As soon as you go below the surface you're screwed because you have to wait to float back up to the surface before you can jump out.
Hold R1 without moving in the water, you'll boost straight up to get back to the surface.
Dear Sony, please make another Astro Bot game for PSVR2, the PSVR1 Astro Bot Rescue Mission was wonderful. Thank you.
They could even patch Astrobmt PS5 to add VR mode.
Surely that would be a win-win?
I will gladly take that as well. Give us both Remaster on VR2, and a brand new game!
Team Asobi are my favourite developers. The new FREE speedrun levels are amazing. Can’t wait for the next three! If the newest one is any indication then we are in for some challenge people.
Prediction. One of the next speedrun levels will be a space level and one of them will be a water based level with the penguin ability.
As PlayStation celebrates its 30th anniversary, let's explore the best PlayStation games Sony has to offer.
There's too many games to choose from
No Metal geat solid 1,2,3,4?
No Resident evil?
No Silent hill?
No Midnight club 3?
No NfS Underground 2?
No Final Fantasy?
No Burnout 3?
No Dragon quest 8?
No Days gone?
No Ace combat?
No Tekken/Soul calibur?......
just from the top of my head
PS1 era was full of great RPGs, PS2 was racing generation i would pick top 200 and even that would be just a fraction.
30 is way too low over the entire history of Playstation, I just wouldn't be able to narrow it down that much, I would pick 100 at least.
Yeah...really odd list. I get that it is personal preference and I love most of the games listed, but my list would definitely be different. I agree though, it would be incredibly difficult to come up with just 30.
I only picked first-party titles. Otherwise, I agree!
EDIT: Except for Days Gone, I don't get the love for it but you do you!
The PlayStation Brahs:
"After controversy hit the launch of the all-new PS Plus launch due to PAL versions of PS1 classics being used, Sony has done right in Japan by using the NTSC versions of their old school games."
Unfortunately it looks like this still won't be the case for the US: https://twitter.com/the_mar...
The reason the JP one is NTSC is because it's the only version of the original which has Japanese localization. Other NTSC regions are still getting PAL games.
Still time for Sony to correct this ahead of the US launch though - keep up the pressure.
I'll wait and see since the primary reason for other regions is the language support. The U.S. doesn't need the same language support as other regions. You could be right, but it's a wait-and-see game.
Agreed. It's a wait and see game at this point. US could go either way, Europe is likely stuck with PAL, at least outside of the UK (although I assume Sony will blast the same version to all European stores).
I think he's basing his assumption on the US around the fact that in Asian regions where PS+ has launched where titles were not localized and were provided in English, they have defaulted to the PAL version. But one would assume that NTSC is the 'native' version for North America.
To be honest, it would be nice if they would just upload multiple versions & let us download the version we want. It's weird that this is even a problem. Also, for Europe, plenty of Europeans are good enough or fluent in English and may not care about localization, especially if it means sacrificing performance/responsiveness.
"Still time for Sony to correct this ahead of the US launch though - keep up the pressure."
Unless Sony themselves (not a twitter user with 400 followers) confirm PAL versions for NA, then there is nothing to correct and no need to keep up any pressure. Premature outrage is a bad look.
Its contstant and annoying. Its litterly killing gaming for me and I think thats the intended effect.
Like what it did with the Dualshock on the PS1.
Anyways, I just hope Sony is willing to bundle Move, or at least the PS Eye, with EVERY PS3 bundle at some point in the future.
Sony got people to quickly adopt the Dualshock by bundling it with EVERY PS1.
The higher the percentage of people have Move, the higher the chance that developers/publishers are willing to spend resources on creating AAA games for it! >:D
Sheer Nostalgia makes this a buy
This could be an awesome game.
i want real ape escape and not some ape escape for move.
I was excited for Ape Escape when they first announced it yesterday but I didnt know that they've had it in development for so long.
