A few details about the Move-equipped Ape Escape outing for the PS3 (which was outed for a possible North American release by GameStop) recently surfaced during the Japanese CESA Developers Conference. Ape Escape Fury! Fury! designer Takamitsu Iijima explained the game's goal is to place the player in the shoes of the series' stalwart monkey catcher, resulting in a game of on-rails, first-person net-swinging.
We find it refreshing to play an on-rails shooter without any shooting to speak of, though we'll reserve judgment until we've gotten a chance to incarcerate a few simians ourselves. Provided Ape Escape Fury! Fury! is even the game hinted at by that recent Gamestop listing, of course.

I don't even own a PS3 and I feel disappointed too.
This could have been so good.

My memories of Ape Escape recall a fun adventure game that was like no other. Goofy, wacky monkeys running around for me to capture. It was so fun. Hearing this does not get me excited, but I haven't seen the game yet either.

Wow. I read Ape Escape and Move and I was thinking, OMG! a game that makes sense for this. Then I read on...
Seriously?
I don't care if it's fun. (I can get plenty of fun in other games too) I'll still want it done the right way and not the mini-game way... There's no reason to use this IP as a on-rails game with the current technology out there. I can only assume one reason for this is to gimmick up the PS Eye and if true that just pisses on us even more...
For goodness sakes get a clue Sony.
