    Sony Purportedly Plotting New Ape Escape, as Redemption Arc Starts (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    I think it’s worth acknowledging that in the last few weeks we’ve got word of a new Killzone and Uncharted, while Sony has rolled out new technology that backports its PSSR upscaler to base PS5 hardware. And now, it sounds like the manufacturer may be plotting a new Ape Escape game! If the past few months of PR blunders have been tough to take for PlayStation fans, then let’s hope this is the beginning of a redemption arc. On the subject of Sony’s primate platformer, rumours have been swirling a

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    About a year ago, I decided on a whim to begin collecting all the Sakura Wars games. I’m close to completing that project now, having tracked down a copy of Sakura Wars: Hanagumi Taisen Columns for the SEGA Saturn in Japan earlier in the month.
