More details about The 3rd Birthday have emerged from the Tetsuya Nomura’s interview with Famitsu.
From Japanese horror novel to game, the Parasite Eve franchise deserves a redemption arc in this week’s edition of Bring it Back.
The original was a really unique RPG. Cool combat system too. Whatever they did with the PSP Version... don’t ever do that again. Would like to see this series return.
I think the reason why they won't bring it back is due to the licensing and the failure of that abysmal PSP game.
I think Square should try to attempt a reboot without the whole use of "Eve", since Aya is an original creation I would assume they could still use her, and maybe come up with a new threat and implement all the mechanics from the original but modernize it. Y'know, something like FF7's hybrid combat system would be awesome.
The problem comes down to Square willing to take a risk. They could dump all this effort and money into a project and it could bomb in sales. I miss the days when developers could come up with any idea and get a game green-lit even if it wasn't a guaranteed success.
Ashamed to say this is a gap in my gaming experience here. Never played the Parasite Eve titles. I do have a PS2 sat under my TV, if you have no nostalgia for the games, do you reckon they hold up?
The PlayStation Portable (PSP) was one of the most successful handheld consoles to date, featuring a large roster of games including each and every genre present to date.
Replace 3rd birthday with peace walker or Dissidia and it will be an excellent list. 3rd birthday is great mechanically but the story is attrocious as a parasite eve sequel.
Jerry from BagoGames says, "Sony hasn't had the best of luck with their handheld devices and some of their biggest franchises died on the PSP, here are those five."
Interesting little thought piece. I feel like Parasite Eve and Syphon Filter could still have legs.
That Ghost n Goblins game for the PSP was the ultimate lesson in pain.
Capcom should make a collection and bring that game back.
They made the right choice with making The 3rd Birthday for PSP.
Can't wait the psp getting alot of love.
it hurt me even more to see aya face like this in the title picture , but really can't wait, waited tooo long. we are there Sin just 7 more months :)
but no cell power >.< that what maked me love this game the combenation of magic power and the modern weaponry oh we will wait and see maybe this new system is good since Nomura never disappoint us with his games .
this might actually make me get a psp, I miss aya brea
