[Mansbros] Parasite Eve Retro Review

It is Christmas Eve in New York City. Aya Brea, a strong rookie detective working for the NYPD, is at an opera with her date at Carnegie Hall. Everything seems normal during the show until a horrific scene happens.

One of my favorite games of all time. About to run through it again. Square should really bring this series to PS3, at least make 3rd Birthday HD.

TM3334097d ago

Even though it's a huge bummer 3rd Birthday was a portable title, it's crazy how amazing it looks. If Square wants to do remakes, do the 1st Parasite Eve with updated visuals. I'd be lovin' that!

izumo_lee4096d ago

I hope they kinda redo the story of 3rd Birthday cause that story was "LOLWut!?" kinda feeling to it. Not surprising cause guess who wrote that atrosity of a story....

If it wasn't for Tabata's directing that story could've ruined Aya's legacy forever, even though *SPOILER*

You are actually playing as Eve throughout the game, that was my understanding of the plot.

Son_Lee4096d ago

Nevertheless, I just want some Parasite Eve on PS3. HD remake, PSN release, $20.

Although I'd rather have PE4, but I'll take what I can get.

I heard the story was less than stellar but more Aya (even if it isn't her) can't be a bad thing.

izumo_lee4096d ago

Yeah i would love to see more Aya as well but with a story not written by Toriyama. I swear that guy can't direct games or write stories at all.

Also we are talking about Squarenix, so I am not holding my breath for a HD game of Parasite Eve....unless you add the number 13 to the end of that title than maybe.

Pozzle4096d ago

And Toriyama has this weird habit of adding time-travel to games that never had time-travel in them.

If a new Parasite Eve game is made, I hope it goes back to being about monsters, mitochondria and mutations. Not...time-travel. D:

ayabrea934097d ago

don't know what gives it away but I really love parasite eve, I pray to god they do a third PE or give to another developer. Aya brea is just a stunning character in the first PE and has such a unique visual design when compared to other female characters.

RTheRebel4097d ago

beat the game last week such epicness
next is vagrant story :)

wishingW3L4097d ago (Edited 4097d ago )

This game's so awesome! I beat it last month in one sitting. And yeah, that's its main flaw, it's too short!

Parasite Eve was my first PS1 game and because it came with a FF8 demo I ended up buying it too.

Unlimax4096d ago

A Masterpiece of gaming in my opinion ~

A Legendary title that Deserve to be milked more than Final fantasy .

I would definitely enjoy a Xenogears remaster. Recently finished Legend of Dragoon again (this time with platinum trophy) and would love to dive back into Xenogears with Fei and the rest of the crew.

closed_account276d ago

Came here to say Xenogears as well. Great taste, raWfodog!

notachance276d ago

It needs more than a remaster though, I hope they can turn disc 2 into a full game..

Kneetos276d ago (Edited 276d ago )

I wonder how they would even handle a xenogears remaster

Would they give it to monolith soft (the original developers) to handle, and more then likely make it a Nintendo exclusive, cue the endless bitching from Sony fans...

Or will they do it themselves, thus not finishing the original story as intended

raWfodog276d ago

"... and more then likely make it a Nintendo exclusive"

I would think it'd eventually hit all the platforms much like the Front Mission 1st Remake. That way no one would be 'bitching' regardless of your platform preference lol.

Miraak82 276d ago

They don't need the original people , they already have the foundation of characters ,world and lore to work off of.
Honestly it's not that big of a game if you really examine it by modern standards , it's how they present everything that makes it seem so grand especially with how epic the story/music is . SE have good writers that could incorporate post release lore of perfect works and such if they ever remade it from the ground up.

gold_drake277d ago

"THE BOUNCER"

scares me everytime i play it haha

Godmars290276d ago (Edited 276d ago )

Maybe this time around it could be good/playable?

Becuzisaid276d ago

Lol! What a game. Had a lot of fun with it. Beat it multiple times!

Marcello277d ago

Square Enix classics? dont they mean Squaresoft. Square Enix dont make classic games, just games with pretty graphics, no heart & soul, boring & over stuffed with woke Gen Z cockiness.

But while were on the subject i would love too see a remaster of Front Mission 3.

ZeekQuattro277d ago

They already announced a Front Mission 3 remake. Doubt they'll also do a remaster.

Marcello277d ago

I will get the remake but i still want a remaster cos with all remakes they lose a lot of the original magic the original game had.

Godmars290276d ago

Pretty sure its going to be a remaster of the game, similar to what's been done with the first two games, not a remake.

FF7r is certainly more a remake of FF7 than a remaster for instance.

Now, if they did Gun Hazard remaster...

raWfodog276d ago (Edited 276d ago )

Yeah they call it a remake like "Front Mission 1st Remake" but I'd consider it more of a remaster as it doesn't change any of the core gameplay but basically just sharpens up the graphics. I think they added a couple of new features also but I still think it's more of a remaster.

Like @Godmars290 suggested, FF7Remake fits the mold of a remake since they 'remade' the game from the ground up, changing the battle system completely, and retelling the story with a lot of different elements added.

But I guess they can call it what they want since they're making it lol.

DeadManMMX276d ago

Exactly. SquareSoft merged with Enix shortly after Final Fantasy X and it has never been the same.

Gardenia276d ago

I miss the old Squaresoft games. So much quality back then.

Terry_B277d ago

Almost all of the listed games are not Square Enix Classics lol

AdventurerDonLocke277d ago

Quintet Gaia Trilogy: Soulblazer, Illusion of Gaia & Terranigma.

15 Most Underrated PlayStation Games (PS1)

The PlayStation (PSX or PS1) was home to a whole load of amazing games. The system is arguably the best console for RPGs and helped revolutionize sports and shooter games. With such an influx of overwhelmingly great PS1 RPGs and other games, it’s only natural that a few would slip through the cracks.

I thought Dune 2000 was something I made up in my head. I used to ask my brothers about the sand level in Command and Conquer. The interface is like dead-on.

CrimsonWing69819d ago

I’m fairly certain Parasite Eve was not underrated. The game got a greatest hits release and is pretty fondly remembered to this day.

SegaSaturn669819d ago

The Quest Mode for Ehrgeiz is phenomenal. Really good looking ps1 game that benefits from modern emulation.

Nerdmaster818d ago

I find it weird Um Jammer Lammy being so unknown when I think it's much better than Parappa. It even has a secret second half which you play as Parappa himself, with rap versions of the songs.
However, while Parappa is famous and his first game even got a remaster, Um Jammer Lammy stays forgotten.

I'd like to see Xenosaga remakes.

ManMarmalade1103d ago

Yes. It was supposed to be 6 episodes too, which makes me sad. I also would really like Legend of Dragoon to AT LEAST get a remaster.

on_line_forever1103d ago

I always ask for parasite eve 1 & 2 remake and vagrant story remake

Z5011102d ago

Absolutely!
Ashley Riot is a forgotten name. I'd love to see a remake and a modern take on the "limb/body part" target system.

Lore1103d ago

Just finished Rogue Galaxy and Dark Cloud 2. While they both hold up extremely well, Dark Cloud 2 could significantly benefit from a full on remake as Rogue Galaxy was impressive for it’s time on a technical and mechanical aspect. Legend of Dragoon ftw as well

HyperMoused1103d ago

i want some super nes ones reimagined, Secret of Evermore would be great

Rebel_Scum1102d ago (Edited 1102d ago )

I would rather play new experiences, new ip's. If a game is truly great the original should hold up and be enjoyable as is today.
