Ape Escape 4 (working title)

Ape Escape 4 (title subject to change) is the fourth official instalment in the Ape Escape franchise, released in 2012 for the PlayStation 3.

Story
Specter, an albino monkey of supreme intelligence, managed to escape capture for the third time in a row and, using a new invention of his known as the Peak Point Beam, mind-controlled every monkey on the planet. From here, he intended to spreads the message of his return by kidnapping the Professor and various others. Natsumi, however, quickly became aware of this plan and brought Kakeru and Hikaru into a makeshift lab of hers, from which the two began a series of adventures to stop Specter's mysterious plan.

Gameplay
The gameplay is very similar to that of Ape Escape 3, featuring all the same gadgets (plus some new gadgets) and the MorphWatch, although it introduces rail sections which turn the game into a sort of on-the-rails shooter. Use X, Circle, Triangle and Square to switch gadgets and the Right Analogue Stick to use these gadgets. The Left Analogue Stick is used to move, and R1 or L1 is used to jump (both together are used for a Transformation Jump).
