Hey, I'm a crusty old gamer too, but I accept that they tried to modernize the game... The problem isn't graphical quality, it's design. The remake is badly designed, so I'll just keep playing the original.

I hope Konami will add the game to Wii's VC sometime in the future... The game is available in Japan, you know.

Hello? Hellooo?

Ugh, never mind. You guys want to go off-topic, do it here.

As far as the guy buying policenauts
off the J-PSN. It sounds like a bad idea
I imagine your can't extract iso's out
of PSN eboot.pbp files like you can with
custom made eboots. Go with ebay ftw.

Legally, I'm pretty positive it's fine to pirate an ISO for a game you own a copy of already. Therefore, even if that copy is on the PSN, it should be fine to download an ISO of Policenauts. I think.

Legally, I dont think you have rights to a copy of that game unless you ripped it yourself.
Morally is more interesting, I lean in the "go for it" camp.

Legally, I guess if you buy the game on PSN, you're getting the rights to play it on the PS3 and the PSP. Even if you hack both to play the translated version, you're misusing the consoles. So, tecnically, it's illegal anyway.

Morally, it's all right to me :).

Earlier we said that upon the patch's release we would suggest that people who wanted to donate to us could instead donate to charity, but we've now decided that we won't be taking this position. We don't want anyone to feel obligated to give money to anyone under any circumstances in order to have access to the patch.

That's sweet of you all, but I think I might make a donation to charity anyway. It's what Jonathan would want.

If you don't want people to feel like they have to give you money for playing the hack, why don't you go the Mother 3 route and talk to the people at FanGamer? Right now they have lots of Earthbound and Mother merch and some MGS stuff, as well. I, for one, would love a Breasts; Touch t-shirt. Although I probably wouldn't wear it anywhere.

Is it legal to download a PSX disc image for a game you downloaded a PSP version of? No. If you do will you get sued, thrown in prison and sodomised? I would bet a thousand pounds you would not.

If you pay for a game should you be able to find some way of playing it? Ofcourse you should. There will be those who don't pay for the game at all and even like the majority I have bought a pre-owned copy from ebay, the fact that you propose buying the game legally and new so that some of the money actually goes to the developer as opposed to a pre-owned games retailer makes it more than morally allright imo.

This is certainly excellent news. I've got the THE BEST edition and wasn't sure if I should get on eBay and grab an original version, as well. (I do like the more colorful box art on the original version better, but it's the game itself that's most important to me.)

So can someone give me a brief over-view of where the patch is at?

Testing mostly.

The thread subject will change at the next major announcement, if that helps.

Just reading that there's testing occurring on any level, even pre-Beta, gets me excited. I myself cannot wait for the next full update.

On a related note, I'm anxious because my entertainment seems to have left. Someone go find where Akor e-scampered off to. Life's too short to alienate the genuinely entrancing.

I desperately need a poem to rest my nerves.

Akor's gone. I can't believe it. I can't believe how much it hurts!

For god's sake guys! Don't tempt him! Don't you see what this could cause? slowbeef will cancel the patch!

We actually had been contemplating this. Maybe it isn't such a bad idea. We'll reopen the thread when we move into beta.

With that said....

Tomorrow? Hmmm. Ok.
Thank you guys, altough I wonder if you guys will actually care about any "thank you guys" by now.
Kind of unexpected, by the way.
