Very interested in this. The first PE was never released in Europe, and sadly it was the best game of the trilogy. Hopefully SE is doing a remastered like the FFIX with improved backgrounds and characters models.

This is still a thing? I didn't even know they released a third game. Played the first and enjoyed it but that was it essentially.

The Third Birthday. That was a shitstorm back in the PSP days because it was a third person shooter and they made it more action-y and cinematic like what we expected out of modern Square Enix. It also included a clothing destruction mechanic IIRC, which got people pretty mad. Oh yeah and it was also PSP-only so that meant the controls were kind of shit.

You go from semi-serious RPG about monsters in New York, to a cheeseball action game lol.

Sad, but it seems that's the way a lot of stuff from Japan is heading nowadays.
To go from classics like FF3 (fuck you all I'm an American Purist) to cinematic grawlk is upsetting. That's not a real word but it's accurate to the vomit-inducing effects of modern jap games.

Wasn't Parasite Eve a licensed title and the license holder so pissed off at Third Birthday they vowed never to license it for a game again?

Possibly? The game rapes the franchise and the main character's established behavior SO HARD, that Other M's Samus Aran looks like a badass.

I really don't trust Square to make a game as good as the first Parasite Eve nowadays... oh well at least they'll probably make people retroactively like The Third Birthday if they fuck up (they will).

...or just a shit game, period.

Agreed. However PE2 is also old gold. Major_Blackhart I recommend you try it, too.

Anyhow, there's no way this is gonna lead to anything but rape of the original artists and IP. Fuck Square Enix. They're incapable of producing a worthy game.

Funny thing is Parasite Eve's about the best balance of a movie-like game ever made.

There are many cute AZN girls at NYPD even today.

Aya always reminded me more of a chick like Jewel than some Japanese girl.
