I am no hardcore ape escape fan but even I knew who Spike was. He was one of the most requested characters when the game announced as well as I recall. I know many who were very happy with his inclusion. If you know anything about ape escape, which is a pretty iconic franchise for PS...you should know him. And since you seem to like wiki pages..here you go
http://apeescape.wikia.com/wiki/Spike



as for Radec...yeah he is very well known. If you even remotely know the KZ franchise you should know who Radec is. He is the best possible choice superbot could have gone with in Killzone. He is also VERY popular in the beta. Fantastic character to play as

Really...if they included someone like Rau from Mark of Kri and you guys said it was an odd choice I would have agreed...but Radec and Spike? LOL


I assure you, not many people have played any Ape Escape games. They are the games in the shop people browse over and see thinking "I wonder if that's any good". But never buy.


SOTC didn't set the sales world on fire...nor did franchises like Yakuza (well..outside of JP)...but these franchises are iconic to PS. They have been there from the start and they all have a good fan following. 

Almost any PS fan will at least have heard of Ape Escape. I hope sony brings the franchise back in the future.

I'm not disputing the fact that the series Ape Escape is known by anyone who walked through a game shop in the past 10 years, what I am saying is that almost none of those people know that there is a human in them called Spike and that he is infact the guy you play as and not one of the cool monkeys with the flashing lights on their heads that are all over the games covers.
