A tweet by "Ape Club", the official website by Sony Computer Entertainment for the Ape Escape series in Europe, has revealed that the Ape Escape game previously announced at TGS for the PS3 utilizing the PlayStation Move will be released in Q2 - Q4 2010.
Air Conflicts: Secret Wars debuted in 2011, and later updated for modern consoles. However, it's the PlayStation 3 edition that stands out.
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."
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.
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.
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.
Its contstant and annoying. Its litterly killing gaming for me and I think thats the intended effect.
The apes have escaped! Capture the apes and capture a Platinum Trophy while you're at it with the help of our Ape Escape Trophy guide.
Its using the Move. This game will be awesome
Ape... Ape Esc.... APE MOTHER FUCKING ESCAPE! God I love these games. AE3 was so damn addicting that I had to 100%!
Score one for platformers. Uh, providing it does stay a platformer and doesn't revert into a minigame fest.
Yes!Yes!Yes!Yes! I can't wait. Day one.
Finaly!!! Last ape escape game I played was on PSP and that was a while ago.
EDIT @ XABMOL:
You are right! You made me remember that mode was in mgs3. It slipped out of my mind completely.
