Who the fuck doesn't like Ape Escape?
>>378312704
Not liking the AE games is a terminal case of super shit taste.
>>378312498
This is now ape escape thread.
3 a best

Terminal shit taste.
>>378313007
Monkey Soccer is still the best mini-game IMO.
>>378312498
I don't know if I was a stupid kid and found 2 hard because of that when I played it years ago, but I emulated 3 recently and it feels extremely easy, though I didn't play it to the end. The suit powers break everything.
Speaking of which, did 2 finally get fixed on PCSX2 so you don't have to play in software mode to get rid of the graphical bugs?
>>378313341
Ape escape was never meant to be hard.
It's just a fun party game where you catch monkeys and that's it, levels take about 5-7 minutes to complete.
There's nothing broken or challenging in them.
>did 2 finally get fixed on PCSX2
No, it's even worse now.
The graphical glitches are all over the place.
And why did you emulate that japanese version?
iirc they're all exactly the same
>>378312498
There is discussion of things about the games even in those threads where faggots bicker about their opinions. You just have to look deeper into threads or start the discussion yourself. But I've definitely tried to start a discussion in a bait thread about a game only to get ignored while the guy that goes "2>3>1>4" gets 20 angry replies about how he's wrong.
>>378313526
>No, it's even worse now.
>The graphical glitches are all over the place.
Fucking hell, I really used to love playing 2 and my PS2 is bust.
>And why did you emulate that japanese version?
I'm a turboweeb and already know Japanese, duh. Didn't check, but I assume 3 doesn't come with dual audio or anything either.
Was Million Monkeys any good?
>>378314172
50 Hz PAL is typically just NTSC with a 13% slowdown. Completely unacceptable in racing games. Once you're used to NTSC, you won't go back.
How would any of you make a new AE game?
>>378315928
japanese version is NTSC
pal is europe only
>>378316190
Why would I make a new AE game?
It's a copyrighted property, don't want to get a lawsuit for 15 trillion euros and life sentence in prison, thanks.
>>378315773
NIGNOG GO EMULATE THAT AWESOME FUCKING GAME XD
why did they rename Sayaka and Satoru to Yumi and Kei in the American version
>>378316701
>Million Monkeys
It's in ching chong ninp nong only tho.
Fuck that.
>>378316190
Two playable characters like 3, except both are little girls.
>>378316563
Sony doesn't even know it exist, so a fanmade thing could work.
>>378316880
Yumi and Kei sounds normal in English, pretty common.
Sayaka and Satoru is just super weird japanese shit that no english speaking person would be able to say without chuckling and making a racist japanese accent while doing it.
So seems obvious why they would change japanese names to more commonly used names?
>STIIIIIL IN A DREEEEAM MONKEY CATCHER
>>378317071
Is there a better crossover?
>>378316902
But there's only 1 little girl to play in threads of fate.
I wanted to get into the game but it's so long and tedious, you just clear fodder for ages to get things moving anywhere.
Prime example of when writing and characters seem fun but the gameplay is holding it back because of how trashy it feels.
>>378316190
Take some apes, have them escape, except that now it's in HD.
>>378317112
Probably.
It would be the best one if MGS3 was emulatable.
It's still unplayable garbage even now.
>>378316902
>little girl
>little black girl
advantages to little black girl:
>runs faster
>can get closer to monkeys before they realize that someone is trying to catch them
disadvantages to little black girl:
>drowns in water

>>378312498
Why did they make him so handsome?
>>378317263
>Trait: Blend in with the crowd
>>378317330
To compete with Yumi, so the fanbase is either Yumi fans or the Tumblr/DA girls that love Specter
>>378316902
One time, i saw a genderswap Kei
Was Big Mission good?
>>378312704
This. I'm a hardcore Nintenbro and even I fucking love Ape Escape.And I believe that if Sony doesn't fucking do something with it soon after 11 goddamn years then they should give it to Nintendo.
I'm still hopeful that we'll get a new proper AE game someday. If Toyama can convince Yoshida to greenlight a Gravity Rush sequel of all things, anything can happen.
>>378313084
I'll go up against you any time you want.
>>378317882
I wanna see Spike blend in with the Nintendo shotas like young Link and Pit
>>378317945
I want a collab between GR and Ape Escape, just to see cute Spike and Kat stuff.
Nothing cuter than a teenage girl and shota being cute friends.
>>378317992
It would be so fucking perfect. I was so happy to see him in PSASBR and would love to get him in Smash properalong with Crash.
Plus AEP&P was pretty much Smash AE anyway. We need another sequel to that. MM didn't scratch the itch.
>>378318145
Too bad Pissassbrr made him ugly, so they should contradict this by making him sexier.
Ape Escape 4 when?
>>378318265
In an alternate timeline where Mark Cerny died
>>378318204
He was pretty cute in P&P with the visor and eye fringe.
Was Big Mission good too?
>>378317296
Ape-borne
>>378318405
Do you think people got confused by the alternate series?
Like, how they redesigned the characters but only one of the two games got released outside of japan, unlike the other game and the anime?
>>378316894
I thought it got a Europe release.
>>378316190
I'd keep the gameplay the same but change the setting. I was thinking make it about a little boy or girl apprentice wizard who's master got trapped by a demon they were studying, and has to learn to use their special wand to go around catching the army of imps they summoned. The wand would transform into different forms, like a net to catch them or a rod to stun them and could be used like a broom to go fast like the hoop and could summon a little wisp for the RC car. Maybe there could be spells too, that use an MP guage like the transforms where you can turn invisible to sneak past stuff, summon food to lure out stuff, levitate items and stuff like that. Some imps would have a power level too where you have to beat them down to size to catch them, kind of like the UFO or Mech monkeys from the other games. Something like that would be pretty cool.
>>378318640
Both got released outside Japan, just in different regions. NA got P&P while EU got MM. Which is weird, because MM is supposed to be a direct followup to P&P.
>>378318779
I'm seeing it on wikipedia and apparently, the EU release was cancelled.
>>378312880
Man, fuck the Yumi worship.
Casi is where it's at. Many a fap to her (and Aki.)
MM had a power up were the player was on fire, so he could arm enemies.
Interesting stuff.
>>378319065
I like all except the professor and dr Tomoki.
Like, all the girls and the shotas
If Ape Escape was a Nintendo series, we could have had a crossover with DK
What Ape Escape crossovers do you want to happen?
Remember cross dressing Spike?
dead thread
>>378312498
Because who gives a shit about the elements that make up the game when at the end of the day it's an unplayable piece of shit?
>>378321169
but what if it isn't?
>>378321604
well if it isn't you say it's good and you move on
I want more Ape Escape lewds
>>378319765
Ape Escape x Rabbids
>>378321931
Fuck you
