Can some things please not be a "cinematic universe" lolThe game should introduce dimension from other game like Ape Escape, Jak and Sly. That's my dream at least

No.I feel like we should stop reading into this Twitter account so much.
I don't think it was a crazy pipe dream to hope that this Twitter account being made meant they were trying to do something for the franchise. Otherwise why bother?I feel like we should stop reading into this Twitter account so much.
Not to mention having a surprisingly meaty bonus game in the form of Mesal Gear Solid, which is ridiculously faithful for all the right reasons!Wut? Ape Escape 3 is easily the best one. Best level design and the transformations add a lot to the gameplay. Transformations in AE3 are better than the capture mechanic in Mario Odyssey imo.

as much as i like ape escape, i don't understand people's love for it as a franchise. Only the original is consider good, all its sequel fails to live up to its premise.
I always kinda felt that Ape Escape 3 was another series where the apes were a cameo.Wut? Ape Escape 3 is easily the best one. Best level design and the transformations add a lot to the gameplay. Transformations in AE3 are better than the capture mechanic in Mario Odyssey imo.
Hmm... you know what I agree, I hope we don't get a Smash bros sequel
But the main objective is still catching the monkeys! It's still all about the monkeys. The TV/Film aesthetic just added a lot of variety to the locales/themeing. Plus you could go into the dressing/break rooms with all the monkeys chilling out, that was great.I always kinda felt that Ape Escape 3 was another series where the apes were a cameo.
I dont think the account is shutting down, I think something clearly didnt work outI don't think it's very clear as to whether the account is "shutting down." Here are the translated tweets.
Also I haven't really followed the account much, but I don't think they ever actually teased that a new game was in development. They teased news / information, but IIRC they technically delivered with various merch, a Toro mobile game cameo, etc.
Hey! You take that back.Hmm... you know what I agree, I hope we don't get a Smash bros sequel
It's the best platformer Sony ever made and arguably is better than some of Nintendo's/Rare's 3D platformers thanks to its great level design and catching mechanics making each world fun and variedas much as i like ape escape, i don't understand people's love for it as a franchise. Only the original is consider good, all its sequel fails to live up to its premise. And the original game was created to showcase the original dualshock controller, nothing more. It's fun for what is it, using the right stick to swing the net to catch those apes but it simply doesn't have the gameplay longevity to make it a franchise. It's the charm of the original that people remembers, not really the gameplay (at least anecdotally).
I thought so to but not including the AE4 bit rather instead it was just an anniversary year long celebration which they likely wanted to do more for like more merchandise or other things. Not really a new game.Sigh.
Why would they tease a cancellation on their own official PR account?
The account is a 20th anniversary celebration. Anniversary celebrations last for ONE YEAR, give or take.
The accounts starts with Piposaru peeking from a tree, and closes the story with him leaping back to the forest. In the words of Lucas, it's like poetry, it rhymes.
If I were to put on my 'tales from my ass-umption' hat on, AE4 was supposed to be announced by this point in the marketing cycle back when they first started the account, but COVID-19 pushed back all the reveals planned, and this anniversary ended before they could officially unveil it.
And no, Sony wouldn't abruptly announce an AE4 just to match a low-profile Japan-focused celebration of an anniversary if there was a bigger stage for it.
Yeah this seems more likely to me too, if there is a game in development they might have wanted to announce this year to coincide with the 20th anniversary. Since Covid happened everything gets pushed back, and they weren't able to announce this year.Sigh.

Nope, already called my uncle at Nintendo, the sequel is cancelled. Shame because apparently it has the same roster as Ultimate but with Goku, Twintelle, Masterchief and Knack, the latter is surely a big blow to everyone out there. The blood of losing Knack for Smash bros, is in your hands.Hey! You take that back.
We're allowed to keep:
Marvel movies
Smash bros
...
I'll allow DC to do their thing, sure.
Other than that.... NO MORE!
The world will be a better place without Twitter and FB lol.I feel like we should stop reading into this Twitter account so much.
I had a really fun time playing 2 for the first time when it hit PS4 and 3 is supposedly even better. I'd be 110% in.as much as i like ape escape, i don't understand people's love for it as a franchise. Only the original is consider good, all its sequel fails to live up to its premise. And the original game was created to showcase the original dualshock controller, nothing more.

Yes and no. It's obviously missing some of it's charm and gameplay design from losing the second analogue stick so I'd def recommend PS1 version over it. That said they did the best they could and the upgraded models look quite nice for a handheld game.I just found my copies of ape escape 1-3 and the psp version of 1. The psp version is bad right? I kind of want to replay the whole series but don't want to play 1 twice.

The visual upgrade was why I was thinking of starting there, but I remember not getting far into it when it came out because of the controls.Yes and no.

SIE's awful in general with it comes to legacy content and IP.A shame. They've teased stuff for a bit.
I don't know why Sony has been so terrible with this franchise. It really should've been a Ratchet style property, with consistent console releases.
It really sucks.SIE's awful in general with it comes to legacy content and IP.
