Other than those listed, I played raan a good bit.

Had this bretty dank level where you're moving through some type of portal and you have to keep up by hopping on stones, sliding and shit(think of mario where you race the penguin down the slide). Gud times.

Gud times indeed.

>Ideas for a new game- Ditch the dual stick controls, I don't think they're necessary

I love that song.

But how would you make an AE game without the dual shock controls?

Right analogue stick controls the camera
X jumps
You still assign gadgets to square triangle and circle. but instead of just switching, pressing the button switches and instantly uses the item
The L and R buttons can be reserved for special gadgets that need to be aimed, like the slingback shooter

Ok, that could work

New Ape Escape VR I would rather have a traditional ape escape game but it's just not gonna happen

>Ape Escape VR

There better be an option to play with a camera behind the player like a platformer while also featuring all the characters like Spike.

Or god forbid: a gritty dark reboot.

Already happened youtube.com/watch?v=YOHcBci7mBs

Why would they do something like this?

Thread is on Page 10, so I'm allowed to post this.

You just cut her head off, what am i going to do, do stuff with her brother instead?

Post her as much as you want, people complain but Ape Escape threads die really fast without her.

Fine, but can you post others like Aki too?

Ape Escape is the PS series with the best soundtrack, prove me wrong.

Sacrifices must be made to save Ape Escape threads.

If you like her, why don't you do it yourself? Like other girls, or the boys even? Some AE fans think Ape Escape threads deserve some kind of special treatment, but it's not really different from any other game.

There's always lot's of Pokemon girls on Pokemon threads, DQ girls on Dragon Quest threads and etc. Just have fun.

>boys

They don't have any art.

Why the fuck haven't they made an Ape Escape 4? We've gone almost two whole generations without a real game.
Who do I have to throw money at, goddamn it?

There's stuff, but it's too lewd for a blue board.

Ape Escape does not match Sony's current image.

I'm surprised Insomniac is still even allowed to make Ratchet and Clank.

This.

The popularity in PlayStation characters is evidence that most people repfer "shit, but simple" over "good, but complex", which is why most popular characters are normal people that look alike instead of characters trying to look different from each other.

From an old interview some user posted a few months ago, It felt like Sony thinks AE is too childish to deserve attention.

Ape Escape is better than Jak for the most part though. First Jak game is great but the rest are dogshit. AE's only problem is it's mind numbingly easy.

It's look like focusing on a kiddie series has to mean giving up on their cinematic stuff, they have plenty of studios who keep making new series and that may come to an end, which means they would have to stick to existing stuff.

Besides, Ape Escape is a series that is important for them and LBP was kiddie stuff and they didn't gave up on that.

Spyro is probably the worst triple A Sony platformer series. Just such simplistic, one dimensional, easy games.

There has to be an audience for 3D platformers considering R&C did well.

Who cares if it's too childish when these gritty games aren't any better?

Here's all the games the studio has worked on.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIE_Japan_Studio

They haven't really done cinematic games like other Sony studios. It just seems like they've making different experimental things in every single direction.

Sounds like consolewar shitposting, but I seriously think AE needs to come to Nintendo or PC, any platform where the demographic like old stuff and classic games.

how was 1 million monkeys? I want to play it but I don't speak moonrunes

Because of Gravity Rush, i would like to see a GR/AE but just to see Kat being a cute babysitter to Spike

Different, but nice. The language barrier is not the worst, but it takes some time to figure it out all the menus.

>those legs

Imagine Spike as a trap

I don't have to imagine.

I wish this was a costume in the game, like in that Zelda game or whatever.

>That monkey snake

I really don't know, maybe give an addon to the water net that can attack normal enemies?

Ape Escape is basically a series that somehow ended up decent and well made in spite of its own attempts to ruin itself

I'm almost certain the Ape Escape series would have been 10x as popular if they just didn't use that stupid gimmicky annoying control scheme
Ape Escapes controls are a very good example of a game using a gimmick only for the gimmick's sake

> ape escape 2 coming to ps4 soon

I'm hype

Maybe that could get people interested in the series.

I feel like there would be a mass of rage towards sony saying that they're racist and ape escape 4 has bad undertones

Oh well

And also because of Yumi adn PETA

>also because of Yumi
Yeah it's hard to see them getting away with this in [CURRENT YEAR]

He's mine

I want all the boys in AE as sexy femboy with booties so i can fuck them.

HNNNG

Is Spike based on Yugi?
