Jurassic Park in Europe (PS3)
Firstly i apologise to anyone who (like me) came here looking for the answer to when JP is going to be released on PS3 in Europe / Australia / etc. If you have then please join me in venting about the lack of information.
So onto my rant, and i really hope someone at Telltale is actually reading this.
I'm aware of a sticky thread with the following comment:
PSN: we are working hard to get the game out on PSN in Europe at the same time as it hits in North America. We'll keep you posted on developments.
I've seen no updates anywhere, that isn't exactly keeping consumers updated. On the contrary i've seen countless times the same question asked (and i'm not just blaming Telltale here it's SCEE aswell) and no answer.
Everytime i come to Telltales site it frustrates me that Telltale seem to either aim their website at the US and don't expect anyone from the rest of the world to visit or they just plain don't see the rest of the world as worth their time. For example on your front page i just read:
PlayStation 3, iPad 2 and Xbox 360 versions also available. Click the INFO button below to find out more.
Having clicked the magical INFO button i see a load of 'info' but no answer, in fact it would seem according to the 'info' that it's actually released on PS3. Again, Europe doesn't count.
So, i ask this one more time.
When can we expect Jurassic Park to release on PS3 in Europe?

Your thread however is great... And true.
The quality of this comment is extremely poor. If they didn't want your money, they wouldn't have plans for a European release at all, and would actually bar exports of their product to you. If you legitimately want a copy of JP, you need to be patient (Less whininess helps).
As far as I understand the process, with PSN releases, Telltale usually submits a build to Sony and then, it's out of their hands. If Sony decides that the build is suitable for release, they set a release date themselves. If not, Telltale fixes whatever Sony needs fixed and submits another build.
For example, when asked about the Australian release in another thread, Michael from Telltale had this to say: There is no reason to believe that the same doesn't go for Sony Europe.
The lack of news doesn't mean that Telltale is purposefully keeping European players in the dark. It just means that they're waiting to hear from Sony (back in the Tales of Monkey Island days, we would often hear about the WiiWare release on the business day before it happened).
The gave no word about the mount of questions about a potential PS3 disc release, etc.... It is not so complicated to answer : Yes / No / We work on it....
We waited a long time just toknow which languages would be in the game, etc...
I work for a news redaction and even if there is some confidential information videogames firms don't want to give to us, they answer anyway...
Concerning European PSN release, the Telltale communication is a disaster.
I'm sorry but if Sony can approve a "build" for release in the US surely they can do the same for the EU?!
A Telltale employee posted the following on October 28 and would probably update the thread if Telltale know more: The problem is that the forums are flooded with so many threads about the same subjects that when Telltale replies in one of the thread, they might not necessarily do it in another (thinking that they already did) and because those threads quickly reach several pages, it's not always easy to find the answers you are looking for, which is why it's always useful to check the stickied threads at the top of the forum.
You want to know which languages will be available?
Check the FAQ thread.
You want to know about the European PS3 release date?
Check the Jurassic Park (in) Europe thread.
I am sorry that the European PSN version is not available yet (even though not working for Sony or Telltale, I have absolutely nothing to do with it
In all love to Telltale and the JP Game, but this is totally Fail...
It's really somewhat depressing that all the people in here are already talking about the game, and I understand that, but just a little more patience could be advised here.
Bleib ruhig, das kommt schon noch!
I have Jurassic Park: The Game for PS3. I have an American friend studying at my university and generously shared their account so that I can play this game.
European friends, dont worry, really. I will not tell the story of the game but if I say that is very slow, the buttons of the commands fail on occasion and frames fall precipitously. The animation sequences or when you finish a history segment is removed from the frozen image for 2-3 seconds and a black screen that says "loading". This happens about 8-9 times per episode and the story loses momentum, it becomes very heavy for this reason. In some scenes of action on the Ep.4, the frame is too low, almost to freeze the image, then follow fluid 2 seconds and re-freeze the picture.
This is my review for the PS3 version. 5/10.
Regards.
Please Telltale, tell us what's going wrong.
When or will we be seeing the game coming to europe before christmas? on ps3?
I wonder if it's because of the amount of glitches and bugs that people are reporting about. It doesn't make Telltale look good if it is due to glitches.
Just a last answer : thanks to the Kalypso agreement : no way to get a potential PS3 retail disc ? (that is my last answer, I swear
http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2011/12/09/buy-a-12-month-plus-subscription-by-december-11-and-receive-jurassic-park-the-game-for-free-2/
The Kalypso deal only affects the Xbox 360 and PC retail releases in Europe and the rest of the world.
Hope we will get JP to the holidays.
Hope it comes out next wednesday for PS3...
I have to say that I think Telltale have handled the whole EU release quite poorly. You said you would keep us informed of developments. The only time I ever heard news about it was on the EU blog.
It is 2,2 GB large, so I need more than 24h to download it...
But 29,99€ (thats 39$ or £25) is terrible expensive...
I know a lot of effort went into it, but more than can afford at the moment.
It is twice more than what press announced (19.99 euros / except 14.99 € during the first week !!!)
