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.
From Xfire: "For a company with a three-decade-long history in gaming, Sony has done a crappy job at preserving its legacy. "
All the mgs games, all the ape escapes, silent hill 1-4, croc 1 and 2, legend of dragoon, tekken 3,tenshu, bushido blade, vagrant story, okami, ico, crash bash, gt4.
Thats just off the top of my head that i would play immediately, still so many more though that id love.
MGS, Silent Hill etc are no brainers, but you earned my thumbs up for our boi Croc. I talk about him all the time, it's an honour to find another man of culture.
Hahaha yea was one of my very first games i owned on ps1 as a child, great memories!!
Love to hear there other people out there that enjoyed the gem of a game that is croc 👌
Okami has HD version already. I want those Sly games though since PS3 and vita had it.
Yea sly would be cool, i never got into those so would be a good opportunity for me to do so.
But yea theres so many games in sony catalogue we coukd be here all day listing titles.
Hopefully we all get the ganes we are hoping for.
RDR2 for me they can boost that up to 60fps with better graphic settings than last gen
Folklore. It was such a unique and beautiful game. Great soundtrack. I still have my PS3 copy
Infamous 1 & 2 probably will get remaster for PS5/4 at some point as for the others in that article idk
This is very disappointing.
The younger amongst you might not remember, that not only was the original Ape Escape an awesome platformer, with varied gameplay, gadgets and cute as hell monkeys, but it also showed brilliant use of the then new Dual Shock twin analogue sticks that has rarely been put to better use.
Had Sony succeeded here they could have brought this franchise to a new generation and done the same for the move controller. Maybe they feared it reverting into a wagglefest, but catching a monkey in a net with perfect 1:1 movement tracking sounds alot better than a crappy on rails shooter. Not to mention all the ways they could have implemented the move to the different gadgets.
Perhaps that was the problem. The game could have been incredibly ambitious under a kiddy exterior and maybe they just decided it was easier to rush out a quick waggle cash in on the franchise.
Good for the kids, but nothing for gamers or fans of the series.
I remember a while ago I couldn't wait to play a ape escape on ps3.
Another franchise ruined on ps3....
they could have easily put in control of your character using the navigator games like killzone prove its not impossible, but unfortunately alot of developers seem to be copying what happened on wii and keeping most titles on rails, it's really sad as the move is so much more capable than the wiiremote:-(
none the less i enjoyed the demo so who knows maybe ill pick it up one day when it's really cheap
