Sweet, great news! Not trying to beg for more, but a translation of the PC98 and 3DO versions would be nice too :) .

Dude I think I'm more pumped for this than any real release this year.  I've held onto my PSX copy of Policenauts for years now hoping the project would actually get finished.

I only own the 3DO one, so, I too would love a translation for that!

For how many years did they work on this?

I think I remember hearing about it like 3 or 4 years ago when it was just going to be a text only translation, I had no idea they were working on an actual patch now.

I know the PC98 version was attempted but was scrapped b/c it's not perfectly emulated. Even I have a hard time getting it to work at times.

does it matter if they only translated it for the PSone? who doesn't own a PSone nowadays to be able to play that? or is the 3DO version that much better than the PSone, similar to the PCE to MD port of snatcher?

The consensus is that the Saturn version is the best, but the PC9801 is different enough in the presentation that its really cool also (no anime, stills in the places where anime was added in the psx/saturn versions, lots of art was re-drawn for the psx/saturn versions and some people like the original look better).  The only problem I hear with the psx version is they added some god-awful CG in there somewhere that will make you gag.

Is there a difference between the Saturn and Playstation versions? I always just thought they were the same, kinda like Snatcher. The 3DO version is pretty much the same too as far as I know, but from the screenshot comparions I've seen, I like the art style in the 3DO one more (more hand drawn looking, less digital).

Four years? They couldn't have been very enthusiastic about translating it I guess. :)

Also: This must be the only board in the world where some of the members actually like/play/care about 3DO. :-"

Are you kidding  :mrgreen: ? I'm sure lots of other classic gaming boards like 3DO, to mention boards dedicated to 3DO itself! I think it's a pretty neat console myself.

Lucienne's Quest is enough for me to like the 3DO, but yeah there are quite a few good games for it that were released in North America.

Indeed, there are a bunch of fun / intriguing 3DO games.

Also: I have a treat for 3DO fans, but first I have to finish up some other projects. Needless to say, you guys will dig it :) Don't hold your breath, though :). I'm sure Seldane is stoked!
