While I have no idea why this is happening – I can’t seem to find anyone who played on console and the other YouTube videos are clearly from emulation – it rendered my longplay unable to be finished.
#Policenauts translation Pc#
Unfortunately the game seems to break in several parts of disc 2’s translation despite disc 1 working perfectly (more than half the game as well) and the same disc 2 that broke on my PS1 and PS2 doesn’t have problems playing on my PC through the ePSXe emulator. With a perfectly working copy of Policenauts, the English fan translation that released for PS1, I set out to do a longplay for tonight’s game club just as I had with Snatcher. This is one of the hardest lessons I’ve had to learn with the world of hacked consoles, fan translations, and promising things before you’ve completed them here on Gaming History 101. It’s even more embarrassing when you know there’s no way to complete something you started. No one likes to release something that is half finished. For this reason, and the countless other reasons that prevent most of us outside of a Japanese speaking region, I can’t recommend Policenauts as a coveted loss treasure we never got. While I have to commend the efforts by having a more genuine story – although the similarities to the first two Lethal Weapon films is undeniable – that flows naturally and keeps you intrigued, this game has so many walls to break through to get to that story that it’s best read in a walkthrough or watched on YouTube. Technically, I guess that’s what Policenauts is, unfortunately the solution appears to be making it a point-and-click adventure and adding in more (and more frustrating) shooting sequences. Price: Unavailable, game never sold in US or UKīuilding off of what Kojima had started in Snatcher, I feel that Policenauts is an attempt to revise the mistakes and setbacks of that original attempt and create a spiritual successor that flows more like a game. Released: 1994-1996 (depending on platform, Japan Only) Platform: PC-9821, 3DO, Playstation, Saturn (Japan Only) Hopefully with the help of my chipped Saturn and trusty Virtua Cop light gun I can finally play Policenauts as intended on original hardware. I was able to complete the game thanks to emulation, but it never felt right with a keyboard, mouse, and save states.
#Policenauts translation how to#
Upon beating the highway scene at the end of Act 2, I was then confronted with a save bug that I never could figure out how to overcome. I started a video capture of the PS1 version, but struggled greatly with the shooting sequences. First off, it allows me to play (and hopefully finish) the game on an actual console.
#Policenauts translation Patch#
As of yesterday you can now get an English translation patch for the Saturn version and get to play the most definitive version of this great title.įred’s Take: This news is huge to me. On the other hand, the Saturn version is a bit more of a remake than a port with better graphics and even light gun support. There was a fan translation of the version on the original Playstation in 2009, but it has some compatibility issues that can arise and the shooting sequences don’t support light guns, making them brutal. This is significant because the Hideo Kojima title was never released outside of Japan and never officially translated to English. You can read a review on it, listen to a game club, and even hear a choice song from the soundtrack in one of our music episodes. We love Policenauts here at Gaming History 101. There you will also find the original Playstation translation as well, but read on to discover why you may want to go with the Saturn. A fan translation of the Sega Saturn version of Policenauts has been released.
