Post YFW Ape Escape 4 gets announced during the Sony E3

Yeah, like how they're also announcing Kat marrying Spike.

If only AE4 was made to break the illusion that BB was even good

HOW TO FIX APE ESCAPE: A PROPOSAL by ANONYMOUS
>Remove hoop, Make movement naturally a bit faster: add a dash move
>Remove sky-flyer, Make jumps naturally a bit higher(remove double jump, it never added anything.)
>Remove slingshot, replace the stun baton with a sorta big boomerang club thing that can be thrown like a boomerang but can easily collide with walls and drop to the ground.
>I can't even remember the other items besides the RC Car, radar, and the nets. Remove everything but the club and net, baby. We're going for core gameplay here no time for the little gimmicks
>Emphasize deeper uses of the boomerang-club and the standard net: add in more moves that demand accuracy and add depth to chasing by making the character skid and run in a more fricticious manner, maybe adding a dash maneuver and crawling/diving/sliding
>In the way that good combos in God Hand and Devil May Cry can sometimes look like scenes out of a movie, Ape Escape 4 should have chases that can look just as impressive and dynamic that it captivates spectators just as well.

>Also cull the moe aesthetics. Go for a cool older anime look, like a Trigun or Pat Labor, but keep the monkeys wide-eyed and iconic.
Thoughts?

>>377028254
Are you trying to make AE into an edgy beat em up game?

Why not make the boys like Spike cuter, in case they're not cute enough?

>>377028402
I'd prefer to completely eliminate the club aspect all together and make it wholly about evasion and chase but figured that would be too much of a departure so I compromised with the boomerang which retains fighting but makes it tactical since it can be lost easily.

>Not a single LocoRoco or Patapon game for the Vita at all.

I don't get them at times. Sometimes they'll fund the oddest things like Tearaway or Puppeteer (Which I appreciate) or really odd stuff like Wonderbook or Afrika but then completely ignore things like Parappa, Locoroco, Patapon, Ape Escape, etc. It's just the strangest thing with them.

>>377035634
Most people don't buy that type of game, and the American division of Sony thinks that games like Dokodemo Issho and Boku no Natsuyasumi aren't suitable for the western market

>>377035274
Sky Flyer makes for bad, awkward platforming. I don't think it's worth reworking since it takes up a weapon slot. Very bad.
Radar is neat. Keep the flavor lines in the monkey database. Maybe flash the flavor line, name, and stats when you catch the monkey, would make for a nice little reward for a successful capture.

>Boku no Natsuyasumi aren't suitable for the western market
At least we got Attack of the Friday Monsters for the 3DS. I mean, it's only somewhat like BnN but it's a small taste of what we could have. Really wish they took a chance localizing the PS3 game at least but oh well.

>>377036145
They're remastering Parappa, Locoroco and Patapon right now. They also remastered Ape Escape 2 a while ago although it doesn't have a physical edition like the other games and the remaster isn't as good. They're definitely planning something with their original IPs.
Also Parappa man is working on this currently http://www.siliconera.com/2017/05/15/parappa-rapper-gitaroo-man-creators-project-rap-rabbit-revealed-ps4-pc/

>>377036145
They're the same people who kill and hide the bodies of their own mascots and yet expect people to know them in their own Smash clone

>>377036424
Weird how they always port Everybody's Golf instead. I love these games but do they really have a large audience in the west? If you try the PS3 one online you'll only meet hardcore players.

>>377036441
>They're definitely planning something with their original IPs.
Either they're doing Not-Smash 2: Electric Boogaloo or are testing the waters for a proper sequel of the games they're remastering. Or they could just want to see if people would buy the games to keep making more remasters. Sucks we have to go to Asia if we want physical copies of Locoroco, Patapon, and Parappa though, but at least we are getting them.

>>377036729
Why is Sony so shit with their own series?
It's no wonder people don't remember them that ofter.

>>377036729
I think they're testing to see if they can make more similar IPs for PS4, othern than sequels. I really hope they will, first party Sony games tend to be really good if we ignore Knack.

>>377036958
Doesn't Sony already have a shitload number of IP's?

>>377036906
Because the American division only caters to the casual crowd.

>>377037014
They do, because they mainly make one-shots.

>>377037053
I wish i could say something nice about the japanese devision, but choosing to make Knack 2 while dropping Ape Escape 4 ruins the stereotype that the asians are usually smarter.

>>377037259
The director Mark Cerny is a pretty important guy at Sony I think. Maybe this is why they're trying to push Knack so hard.

>>377037453
I wonder if he's also why the PS4 can only go to 30 FPS

>>377037704
No, that's a matter of hardware. Also depends on the specific games.

>>377044930
Can you blame people for loving the Sony mascot character's games? They're all great fun but they tend to either be forgotten or have something go horribly wrong and they go in a wildly different direction than what people wanted.

I for one am glad Ratchet is at least still remembered, I thought it was going to be gone for good with ItN after A4O and FFA were big messes.

>>377045485
Simply being hopeful. Actually super unlikely to happen because Sony know it would be more worthwhile financially to take any funding that would've been used for it and put it towards whichever gritty cinematic third person shooter they're starring troy baker or nolan north as a middle-aged father figure they're current making

>>377045841
I don't know about performance but the VAs are objectively better than the Pokemon cast voicing solely Pokemon characters when it's not Pokemon at all. PAL Specter is the best Specter.
