Ape Escape on PlayStation 3 Review - PushSquare

PushSquare: "Ape Escape uses the PlayStation Move effectively to create an intelligent twist on the traditional rails shooter, but there's just not enough content to justify the game's full retail release."

That level was so much fun. Please bring Ape Escape back

Kurisu61d ago

Haven't played Astro Bot yet, but it is on my to buy list! Ape Escape was such a fun game.

thorstein61d ago

Worth every penny and every second I've spent playing it.

-Foxtrot61d ago

Team Asobi could definitely pull it off

It would be nice to switch between Astro Bot and another IP like Ape Escape.

Knushwood Butt61d ago

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.

JackSilversonX59d ago

Hold R1 without moving in the water, you'll boost straight up to get back to the surface.

Chocoburger61d ago

Dear Sony, please make another Astro Bot game for PSVR2, the PSVR1 Astro Bot Rescue Mission was wonderful. Thank you.

Knushwood Butt61d ago

They could even patch Astrobmt PS5 to add VR mode.
Surely that would be a win-win?

Venoxn4g59d ago

I wish they would do a remaster/upgrade patch of PSVR Astro Bot for PSVR2

Chocoburger58d ago

I will gladly take that as well. Give us both Remaster on VR2, and a brand new game!

Levii_9261d ago

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.

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.

FinalFantasyFanatic149d ago

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.

Storm23149d ago

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.

lockedongamer1149d ago (Edited 149d ago )

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!

Chocoburger140d ago

I didn't like Days Gone either, it doesn't deserve to be on any best of list.

PS Plus' Japanese PS1 Classics on the PS4 & PS5 are NTSC Versions

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."

If you're in Japan... unfortunately most of us are in the US or Europe.

Orchard1056d ago (Edited 1056d ago )

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.

Christopher1056d ago

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.

Orchard1056d ago

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.

Eonjay1056d ago

Its contstant and annoying. Its litterly killing gaming for me and I think thats the intended effect.
