It won't be Ape Escape. Firstly, it has aged horrendously. Secondly, it's a PSOne title - has there ever been an HD version of a PSOne title? Thirdly, it's not considered a classic.

Dark Cloud is a better bet, but it still doesn't scream at you that it needs to be remade. So it's a little bit of a mystery, but I'd be happier with DC 1+2. Beautiful game.

And fyi, I ABSOLUTELY LOVED Ape Escape. Got it the same week as Silent Hill and went bananas over those two games.

Getaway or Syphon Filter I guess.


I think you win.



There were so many back then...Dark Cloud remake?

They could use the PSP version of Ape Escape; since the PSP God of War games were used to make a HD Collection.  Combined with 2 & 3 which were already on PS2, it's certainly a viable option.

(I don't think Ape Escape 2 & 3 have aged horribly either; I played AE3 for the first time last year and it was absolute fine, aside from a few camera issues).

I'm sorry - I live in a little bubble where Ape Escape on PSOne is the only entry to the series.

I abondoned PS2 when GC came out.

Those statements of mine are thus void.



That's good news. I think Bluepoint did a bang-up job with the Vita version of PSABR; so I hope whatever they're working on appears on Vita too. I'm gonna buy MGS HD Collection at some point.

Personally, I'd love an Ape Escape HD Collection. And I think it's viable too, given Sony have resurrected their other 3 character-platforms in HD Collections (Jak; Ratchet & Sly). So I don't see why not. Plus, Bluepoint worked with a Japanese studio before (Team Ico) on bringing their games across, so I certainly think (and hope) it's possible.

A Dark Cloud 1 & 2 Collection would be neat, too. The Getaway & Syphon Filter aren't bad examples either - there's 3 Syphon Filter games that could be HD'd up, and 2 Getaway games (they could even throw in Gangs of London if they wanted). But I don't think Syphon Filter is really big enough anymore. Getaway, perhaps.

Here's some more suggestions that I haven't seen mentioned much yet:

- Wild ARMs HD Collection - 3, 4 & 5. Possibly Alter Code F as well.

- Ratchet Collection 2. Secret Agent Clank; Size Matters & Deadlocked.

- Jak Collection 2. Daxter; The Lost Frontier & Jak X.

- Champions of Norrath. Or any of the PS2-era Everquest games, really. Throw them all in together as a "collection".

- SOCOM is a possibility too, especially since they have a tonne of games they could choose from to HD-up.

I think, realistically, it'll be something like Jak X HD as a PSN release. I'd really quite like to have something like Champions of Norrath on Vita though; so that'd be a cool one to get. And Ape Escape & Wild ARMs are very special series to me, so I'd always love to replay them in HD.
