find a flaw

I just reached Ape Escape 1 in my backlog actually, I'd say its biggest flaw is the camera. Also some of the controls feel like Mario Party minigame controls, but they're not annoying in practice.

The first game had completely shit draw distance and terrible voice acting. The psp version at least fixes that but makes my ears bleed whenever Pike talks ever and there's some stupid typos and errors including one cutscene they completely forgot to redub for some reason.

It reminds me of why people always say Nintendo's shit is more polished.

Double jumping is so pointless, they should've just given you one big jump. Also having to constantly use the hoop/copter is ridiculous and they should've just integrated that with the character's default movement kit

This

The names are changed in the American version but no effort is put into it. The PAL version had more fun with the monkey names despite keeping the Japanese names for the humans.

Voice acting is bad on both sides of the pond. The American dub has absolutely no consistent VAs between any games.

There isn't an Ape Escape 4.

Ape Escape 2 didn't do anything that exciting with the level design and is mostly an expansion of 1. At the same time? It's not really a negative. 1-3 are all consistently excellent games.

2 had Monkey Soccer which is the best

Most people who onwed a PS console bought for third party titles and violent games.
So, if anything, Ape Escape was incredibly "hidden" from these people.

>>381886202
With indie games knocking off popular titles which have been neglected and the rise of 3D skills with free programs like Blender, I hope to whatever that someone makes an Ape Escape knockoff which does the series justice. Maybe they could catch chickens or something.

Flaw?
It's the inferior cover art.

whatever happened to Ape Escape 3 on PS4? It was rated by ESRB for release almost two years ago now. Did other PS2 games just take priority or something?

https://www.destructoid.com/wild-arms-3-and-four-other-ps2-titles-listed-for-ps4-328719.phtml

Not that it's a huge deal. I still have the original. Was just hoping for another excuse to play through it.

>>381887118
I would if I could but I can't speak Japanese. Nor do I live there.

>>381882471
It's annoying as hell getting forced out of a level after you've caught the specified amount of apes, even though you can easily catch more.

They're also very "shallow", they just kind of introduce a gimmick per level and then immediately drop it without ever requiring you to do something interesting with it beyond the basics.

>>381887191
This, where's the game?

>>381887191
I remember some autist went on Wikipedia and added their fancast to the character's voice actor list and claimed it was for some remake or other. Like, Spike was Tara Strong or something. As if an AE game would get high-tier union actors.

I feel like the US version of AE3 was such a sloppy localization job. All the monkey names were literal translations of the Japanese ones while the PAL version had the funny, unique pop culture names that actually took effort.

It improves a lot actually from the framerate, swimming mechanics and boss battles. Thing that weighs it down a bit are the "gimmicky" gadgets that dont really add much and the level themes being a bit bland compared to 1 and 3 other than that it's a good sequel

Could a Pipo Monkey fall in love with a human?

>>381889724
Uh.. yes

Guess I'll list a couple of nitpicks I have about the games

AE1: voice acting isn't very good on either US or PAL, PS1 has very rare framedrops and some draw distance but that's standard fair for the 5th gen game looks great graphically though, kind of steep learning curve and could possibly turn people off I guess, boss battles (except the Specter fights) don't feel like legit boss battles

AE2: the 3 new gadgets feel kind of situational and don't feel fleshed out enough in comparison to the other gadgets, robo pipochi moves a bit too slow, backtracking in the later levels for monkeys can go on a bit longer than they should, level themes could be more creative, no easy way to buy health or ammo for slingback shooter

AE3: transformations (while cool) can make some parts easier than they should have, not a rock solid 60/50fps (if PAL) like AE2 was 100% of the time but in exchange has some more added graphical effects

>The second game is boring and doesn't really improve on the first one in any way, just feels like a lesser rethread of the 1st

>>381887384
It needs it's own "N-Sane Trilogy" (all 3 games fully remade and bundled together) so it can make a comeback before they make a proper AE4 I imagine. I'm glad it's happened for Crash, so maybe it'll happen for Spyro and Ape Escape at some point.

>Doesn't improve on the first in any way

That's wrong though, the swimming, bosses and frame rate all improved and some minor AI tweaks to the pipo monkeys in how they look and act. Also 3 is composed by Terada and I guess the camera isn't the best but the center camera button makes it a non issue most of the time.

>The friends whom I try to recommend the game to that say it's bad just because it controls different

same deal with one of my friends too but out of the 3 who I recommend to play AE1 2 enjoyed it and the other one was complaining about how it feels awkward or whatever there's a learning curve for sure but it's not like it's unintuitive or whatever

Not him but my problem with 2 was there were just too many gadgets, which is fine except half of them didn't get used very often, like the watergun or banana-bait.

I think they could have fixed this by having some of the other gadgets act as weapons or just combining their roles into less gadgets. the transformations in 3 did this (sort of) an I think it made for a more enjoyable game.

Also having Spike playable once you've 100 percented the game feels fucking pointless to me. 2's still a fun game, but I feel it's the weakest out of the 3.

This is what Spike should have looked like in Sony Smash.

>>381892307
Hmm yeah it is the weakest if I try to look at it with no bias I actually played it for the first time last year via emulation since I only grew up with 1 and 3 but it did at least set the bar for 3 to improve on even more also I don't recall having to 100% the game unless you mean just catching all the monkeys because in that case yeah he shouldn't have been locked behind that.

>>381892327
Wait you mean you could actually unlock her in the dancing minigame?
I thought that was just a myth.

>>381892585
I put way too much time into that shit game just trying to make Spike viable

>>381892752
Indeed. Don't know the exact method of doing it, but after getting 100% on a file and clearing all songs in Dance, Monkey, Dance! (including hard mode) just keep putting coins in the Gotcha machine and you'll get her. Keep in mind she's rare, so it may take a while.

>>381893095
Well shit, I spent forever trying to unlock her years and years ago but nothing ever came of it. Eventually I just thought the guy who told me was being "that kid" ...

>>381892827
Spike deserved better

Bosses are shit in the second game. Final levels are fucking terrible, too much use of the magnet, which is just waiting and waiting and waiting for platforms to line up. Also the game doesn't control as well as I remember. You're very slow and jumping has no momentum. Did you know you can do a long jump by pressing both shoulder buttons at the same time?

>>381893768
He really did, when he was revealed I was hype as fuck but then the game was kinda lackluster overall. I still feel Sony can make another party fighter but the execution has to be better and some more characters would be nice to because they got several more (forgotten) characters they could've used like Robbit, Tomba, Dart etc

>>381893535
Just like the Yumi and Kei monkeys previously mentioned in Big Mission, I feel like these games have so many untold secrets that no one's ever really bothered trying to find/archive.

Other examples being the potted plant easter egg in On the Loose, and finding Toro and his friends in Million Monkeys...

>>381894087

>Final levels
Oh yeah I mean they aren't bad but could've been better I forgot about the pointless 2-3 minute magnet room too, guess that fits in to the too many gadget flaw
>You're very slow and jumping has no momentum
Eh it doesn't have the best platformer physics I'll admit but the level design usually accommodates this so it isn't really jarring

Yeah it's did weird how they never tell you about it and they get rid of it in 3

I think enough time has passed that just a new next-gen coat of paint would suffice. Although if you're talking new mechanic-wise, I'm sure someone's thought of something new during this 10 year development hell process AE4 seems to have undergone.

Personally I'd love to see more playable characters or the return of transformations. Despite how broken they made the game, they were fun and changed things up.

I thought this was a mechanic to make Yumi an "easy mode" but it happens to so few monkeys, it doesn't even matter. Just a little detail I guess

>>381908351
How many human characters exist in Ape Escape?
We should have a game with all of them.

>>381908685
3 technically had all of them make an appearance, minus Jake, Casi, and Helga

>>381882471
the only flaw I see is in the bottom left corner

>>381909018
And then there's the girls from the PS Move game.
So yeah, a game like that should happen.
Maybe for a reboot/remake, like the N.Sanity thing.

objectively 0

>>381909304
I didn't really think the PS Move game's story was canon. (or it was an just alternate universe) they gave Specter a completely different backstory and everything.

I need to go back and play that. Hopefully it wasn't as bad as I remember...

>>381909304
>>381909609
I know Million Monkeys might be a different timeline, but i still like the idea of a game that combine all the games, even if it ruins the continuity of Ape Escape.

>>381909716
Think of it like a MetaApe Escape

>>381909716
Pumped & Primed and Million Monkeys didn't exactly ruin the continuity, they were just spin-offs. I remember them actually acknowledging the events of AE2 in there.

Also, is Million Monkeys good?

>>381910292
I heard MM was good

>>381910292
>actually acknowledging the events of AE2
Wait which game did that I don't remember any of that in P&P at least

>>381910938
P&P had various fan letters from monkeys in AE2, plus Red and Pink Monkey from the FM5 as assists.

Nothing directly storywise, but take that how you will

>>381911072
Ah okay I kinda remember that, P&P fits nicely after AE2 but I have no idea where MM stands

>someone else finally making an Ape Escape thread

I've made over a hundred on /v in the past two years.

>>381911239
May God bless you sir.

>>381911183
It came out a year after AE3, but it doesn't reference it in any way. Probably because development times were too close together.

I just look at it as P&P sequel. Same gameplay mechanics, characters, and art style.

I wish they kept making them in Japan. Ape Escape is so straight forward, you don't need a translation I played through Million Monkeys and beat it without a guide. That game was fucking weird.

AE2's new powerups are uninspired and the music is bad.

Good trilogy, otherwise.

Imagine if they made a trailer, claiming that Ape Escape took the TLOU direction, but the trailer ends up revealing to be a joke.

Possibly something they could bring in for AE4?

personas are overpowered and the third game doesn't run the best on the real hardware

In Big Mission, Spike had a dog.
Why was that?

Did anyone else play the football minigame in Ape Escape 2? I remember constantly using the spiked ball a lot to damage the opponent's stamina.

>>381915097
was it his dog? I thought it was just there to show off how small they were when they got shrunk

>>381912737

Clearly the gay monkey.

>>381915395
In the end of the game, he interacts with him.

Ah, well it'd be best to play it with a controller it was designed for, mind you the controls have a bit of a learning curve to them too so if you at least wanna give the game another shot downloading ePSXe 2.05 and the iso should be a breeze

I remember seeing ads of this game in mags back in the day
I always wondered if it was some shitty game

>>381933128
Not that I've found anywhere. There really isn't any detailed info or guides on MM or Big Mission.
I could most certainly try once I get my hands on the game.

>>381935473
You'd have to try to see almost everything that was in the game and learn japanese, while also lookint at multiple videos about it.
