Controls ahead of its time

Kino fucking game, prefer the first one over 2 and 3 even if the gameplay is solid in the whole trilogy

SOUL

Worst camera in a videogame ever. Dogshit game

>>716312835
2 and 3 have figured the camera out.

>>716312159
I love that black pants apes' consistently low awareness stat is canonically due to them not being able to see shit through their cool sunglasses.

>>716312835

>>716312835
better camera than souls games.

He's my favorite

>>716312835
What are you planning on playing for your fifth game?

So what's wrong with Ape Escape 2? People here keep saying that it's shit compared to 1 and 3 but it seems fine so far.

>>716313795
>People here keep saying that it's shit compared to 1 and 3
Nobody says this.

>>716313795
Largely due to generic monkey music rather than 1 and 3's jungle. Gameplay-wise, it's just fine.

>>716312835
bless your virgin soul that doesn't know of Bubsy 3D and MH Freedom - Forest Hills map - Area 9

>>716313795
not having soichi terada as the composer was the issue

>>716313795
I don't think anyone considers it shit, just that doesn't hold up to the others in terms like generic music and level themes.

>>716313795
It's not the original one and it doesn't have the loli so people don't talk about it.

anyone ever play the ape escape game on the psp? only one i've played and i liked it a lot.

>>716312159
those are some crisp screenshots and videos
very nice

>>716312046 (OP)
It's shit. Everything else is good but the controls suck

>>716313795
gameplay wise it suffers in the second half with 3 filler gadgets and level design takes a nosedive
music wise it doesn't have the jungle the series is known for which kills presentation
those are the big ones anyway
despite all that i still like it

>>716314784
Presentation-wise, the definitive AE1 experience. Gameplay-wise, you do lose a bit from only having a single stick but surprisingly not much.

>>716313795
It’s not shit but it’s not as good as 3 and it’s not the original. It’s just for the forgotten middle child.

>>716316542
>Presentation-wise, the definitive AE1 experience
lol, lmao

I'm going for it!

I should really 100% the first game one of these days

KINOOOO

stupid monkey

this reminds me of that one wrestling video
god that must be hot

>>716315096
Thank you anon

It's literally the whole point of the game.

Ape Escape 1 is the best platformer on the ps1

>>716319160
Eh, kinda but... not really...
Yes, you use the second stick to do things, but there isn't much nuance to it. If gadgets were more complex and could do more than one thing by using different motion inputs, it'd be integral to the gameplay and thus impossible to replicate on a single-stick console, but with things like dash hoop doing the same thing every time and needing a single input, and directional things (other than radar and car) stopping you dead anyway, using just a button and, where applicable, left stick, just like every other game, works just fine. Stationary radar still works perfectly fine, and while running alongside the RC car to solve some puzzle would be fun it's never actually used anywhere, even things like cages where monkeys climb out of the entrance further from you when poked with the car have them crawl slow enough for you to run up and net them before they run off (and, you know, you can just let them run off and catch them bare). Twin stick controls have potential, but Ape Escape never really used them well, it was always on the level of Wii wagglan.

I loved ape escape but not the controls for the tank. That’s why I was never able to beat the game.

IT'S FUN

how did he do it?

mona lisa?
More like Monkey Lisa XDDD

>MH Freedom - Forest Hills map - Area 9
REEEEEE ANON I AM TRYING TO FORGET. Pretty cool unironically that they kept that map/area with all the original jank in Generations Ultimate though. GU #1

>>716312046 (OP)
I played the original like 10 years ago cause I wanted to play 3 for the loli. I thought it was crap at first but when I got to hot spring level I started liking it. Problem is I put of 2. I played it like 2 years ago and had fun but stopped for some reason. Now I'm going through 2 again.

>>716312046 (OP)
They turned snake vs monkey into a full game?

Grew up playing Ape Escape 2, think I'll go play 1 after I finish my playthrough of Fallout 1.

You did become Champion right?

>what if... we used the dual analog feature of the DualShock instead of just mapping them both to the dpad?
Why did so few PS1 devs think this?

>>716322096
>Pretty cool unironically that they kept that map/area with all the original jank in Generations Ultimate though
no they didn't, they fixed the camera in everything after freedom

Sayaka's tight responsive buttons...

>>716322796
Ski Kidz took some practice, but I have never understood how to do well in this.

>>716323853
sayaka's round gameplays

>>716324229
Up/Down in a somewhat fast but steady rhythm alternating with both sticks. Though there's probably a little RNG in the background as well.

>>716324375
I want to handle those controls.
Hrggnnnnn. My joystick needs some dusting off.

>>716312046 (OP)
Should I play the PSX version or PSP version?

>>716326376
PSX easily. The PSP version doesn't have the second analog stick, and has one less gadget set to the face buttons (3 on PSP vs 4 on PSX).

>>716324375

>>716326493
Good shit, gonna whip my ps2 out and give it a go.

>>716312046 (OP)
I pick Kei in Ape Escape 3

>>716328007
Why?

>>716328924
He's pretty chill desu

>>716321325

>>716312046 (OP)
I like that Ape Escape 3 lets you choose to play as either a male presenting or female presenting kid

>>716312835
Just press L2 to recenter.

have you been to the beach this summer, /v/?

>>716312835
But enough with Mario 64

This game prompted me to buy my first ever Madcatz controller, then subsequently introduced me to what QC issues are
