Policenauts Help

Post by A.G. »

A few questions for the Policenauts experts.

1. Which version of the game would you deem to be the most definitive one?

2. Did Kojima direct every version of the game?

3. As of right now, is there any English emulation of this game? If not, any ideas on when this would become avaible and what would I need buy (game version) to play it.

Thank you.

1. The Saturn version.

2. Yes.

3. No, but we're working on it right now. It'll be for the PlayStation version.

I have heard it was like a director’s cut version of the game. You may already know this but they are only doing the Ps1 version for right know so the fan translation won’t work on it

I thought one of the PlayStaiton versions had all the extra features? What does the Sega version have?

Your thinking of the "private collection" and the sega version had (I think) added in cut scenes and I don’t know what the private collection had

It has a couple of extra scenes (though they're small and aren't essential), the glossary from Private Collection is accessible in-game anytime, it has Virtua Gun support, some new close-ups for the characters, and when you beat the game there's an option to let you replay any of the shooting scenes as well as a menu to view some of the videos from Private Collection. Plus it came with a hardbound artbook.

The game discs are supported. Konami actually uses the same game discs across all versions of Policenauts, so you can patch any version you have.

I think Private Collection has an optional Disc 3 which is the game's glossary or what have you. That, we're not patching. (Or at least I'm not.)

Private Collection is an extra disc, which can be placed inside the case of the regular game since the regular game has a place holder for it. However the Private Collection has it's own case and manual:

Original Game scans: http://policenauts.net/psximages.html
Private Collection Scans: http://policenauts.net/psxpcimages.html

And no, we are not patching the Private Collection disc, just the game. You can view all the translated content in our glossary site: http://policenauts.net/english/glossary.html (accessible form policenauts.net under glossary)
From the mathematical perspective, consciousness might be regarded as a second derivative of sensation.
