Ape Escape 4: We Need A New Game For The PlayStation 5

One game that has been left to rot in the ages is Ape Escape, and it’s high time that we finally saw an Ape Escape 4 for the PlayStation 5.

YES! Couldn't agree with this more. Super Nostalgic for these games.
Japan Studio isn't what it used to be but if/ with the Astro's Playroom team behind it there's no reason they wouldn't make a killer game that could be as innovative as the first two games were.

A new Ape Escape would be a very welcome return to Playstation.

Would definitely be cool to see this series make a comeback but I'd say the chances are slim to none unfortunantly.

JEECE831d ago

But if they actually made it, it would come out and everyone on here who said they wanted it would be like "it looks kinda meh, probably not worth $70, I'll wait and buy it used." Then they'd go play a live service game and keep complaining about how too many games are live service games now.

Flawlessmic831d ago

Not so for playstation exclusives.

That's why Sony's games have all been SP and super successfull even at $70.

If anything we all hate the live service stuff.

If this was only on xbox then different story, we know how much most of them hate paying for games let alone 70 and how much they love multi games, apparently every game should have multi lol.

Feel bad for the shot a xbox as I do have one but regarding its community what I said is true.

Ape escape today though would be a tough sell more so for the type of game rather than people wanting live service or the cost

"Not so for playstation exclusives.

That's why Sony's games have all been SP and super successfull even at $70."

That trend of success started in the mid to late PS3 era when they stopped making games like this and moved more towards cinematic third person games. You are right, people will absolutely shell out for God of War, but they didn't come out in droves for Puppeteer.

And yeah Xbox gamers have become accustomed to Gamepass and don't buy games now, but at least Gamepass allows devs to make side projects that never would have sold in the Xbox ecosystem even prior to GP. Like Xbox players love to talk about Pentiment and how different it is, but that game wouldn't have sold in 2010. Gamepass is literally the reason people are trying it.

thesoftware730831d ago

I like both SP and Multiplayer games, and I am a fan of my Xbox.

GoW
Bioshock series(in my top 5 favorites series)
Zelda series
Metroid series
RE: 5(and all the mainline games except 6...lol)
CoD
Hellblade
Tomb Raider
Division 2
Uncharted
A plague Tale series
Hollow Knight

That is just a few.

Feels perfect for VR, swinging your virtual net at those crazy monkeys... then whatever other creative contraptions they can come up w that cater towards increased immersion.

Astrobot already showed how amazing VR platformers can be. I feel Ape Escape could showcase it in a new and equally exciting way!

*They sort of tried this w the PS3 Move game, but it just doesn't translate as well on a flat screen.

thesoftware730831d ago (Edited 831d ago )

Yes, please!

This and a few other titles I would love to see revived.

Does anyone remember the action game on PS1 called, 'One'? Me and my brothers played that game 100 times lol.

FinalFantasyFanatic830d ago

I have no idea what your were talking about until I saw that video, I'm pretty sure I played this game, I think there was a sewer level with a giant alligator too.

thesoftware730830d ago

The game was great, with tons of action and explosions, it was like a 3d Contra done right.

I know it's not a Sony-developed game, but just going down memory lane a bit lol.

I'm dying to see a new Twisted Metal coming to the PS4 with some improved controls and whole load of characters.

skcej3427d ago

If they brought Ape Escape to PS4 I'd lose my s**t

Player3Podcast3427d ago

Some of my favorite gaming memories playing that game!

AudioEppa3427d ago (Edited 3427d ago )

Only a few things I want from ps4 next year are.

More adventure games (original or pc ports)

Rime (this wait bruuh😩)

Disaster Report 4 Plus NA release with english voice cast just like the old games had.

Overhaul improvements to PSN / PS4 UI

New IPs from the action adventure genre

Have sales on games as frequent and low as other platforms.

Player3Podcast3427d ago

I think I had set RiME into the recesses of my mind because I don't want to wait for it.

jb2273427d ago

Definitely agree w/ the Adventure & Action/Adventure points, and Rime...we need more games like Uncharted, especially if this will be the last one.

There is a big hole to be filled in terms of quality narrative driven sp campaigns that aren't open world rpg's...Seems like there were so many great ones last gen, and this gen we've had next to none. I don't want to have to wait through a decade of a dry spell to get to the inevitable "throwback" phase. This type of game should never go away.

Relientk773427d ago

Crash Bandicoot
Spyro the Dragon
Tenchu
Timesplitters 4
Grandia 4
Legend of Dragoon 2
Ape Escape 4

Ape Escape 4 Confirmed For Europe

Siliconera: "Last week, we mentioned Ape Escape 4 was one of two Ape Escape games in development. And when its ready Sony Computer Entertainment Europe will publish it.

A release date for Europe has not been announced, but a localized version of the monkey catching game is planned. That’s good to hear considering how other Ape Escape games like Piposaru 2001 and Ape Escape: Saru Saru Master Moves were skipped in the West."

All About Ape Escape On PlayStation 3

At Tokyo Game Show, Sony Computer Entertainment Japan listed an Ape Escape game for PlayStation Move. It wasn’t at E3, so Siliconera got in touch with Ape Club, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe’s Ape Escape hub, to find out what happened to the game.

More people need to be interested in this!

TOO PAWNED5416d ago (Edited 5416d ago )

it would be nice if we head 3 big events per year. Not only E3. Gamescom is big Sony in last 3 years has head press conference during that event and had some announcements, hope that increses in the future. Same goes for TGS. There are so many games these days, so spread it. Also lets not forget VGA, always couple of announcements on that show. I like that. E3 should not be be all end all event.

garos825416d ago

the first ape escape was a wonderful and underated platformer.
im definately keeping my eye open for this one

sinncross5416d ago (Edited 5416d ago )

OMW so cool.

You know, Twisted Metal was shown at E3. They mentioned how it was a franchise that began on PS1.
Ape Escape, also beginning PS1, is getting its PS3 debut shown at TGS.

Maybe, and damn well hopefully, Syphon Filter 5, also from PS1, will be a special announcement for GC
:D

on a side note, they should add Ape Escape to 'Heroes on the Move' - that would be sweet!

HolyOrangeCows5416d ago

They just have to step it up from the PSP titles. Hopefully they still have the talent to recreate the charm of the older ones.

Cheeseknight285416d ago

This is seriously the only reason I would buy a PS Move. Granted, it is a very very big reason for me to buy it - because the very idea of playing Ape Escape with a Wiim... Move sounds amazing!

sikbeta5416d ago

Ape Escape is So Freaking Huge, almost incredible, I can't Wait to Play, it's gonna be a Total blast...

badz1495416d ago

MexicanAppleThief5416d ago (Edited 5416d ago )

I'm not sure by which kind of jungle fever you mean...

MexicanAppleThief5416d ago

Umm..ok, its just that sometimes women use that when they have an infatuation with black people.

Just thought you ought to know :P

CountDracula5416d ago

Yeah well first of all I'm a dude and second of all... that's exactly what I meant! :D

Enter the AWKWARD VORTEX in T-MINUS 3...2...1...NOOOOOOW!
