Parasite Eve could come to PS3

Speaking to VideoGamer.com at gamescom, 3rd Birthday executive producer Kitase-San has suggested Parasite Eve could find its way to the PS3 in the future. It seems it all depends on the success of PSP exclusive 3rd Birthday, due this Holiday.

"The team had a lot of experience and knew a lot about making a game for PSP which is why we chose PSP as the platform for this game," Kitase-San told VideoGamer.com. "But if this game turns out to be a success then we’d be looking at extending the franchise into ps3."

I would love to see this happen but I would also love to see the game go back to it's roots.

As good as the 3rd Birthday looks it kinda doesn't feel like a Parasite Eve game.

The game play is similar to what we saw in Parasite eve 2 which is great but in terms or tone and look it doesn't feel like Parasite Eve. The horrifyingly disturbing mutation sequences from the first 2 games seem to be no where as the new enemy(the twisted) don't look or seem to have anything to do with the original crazy messed up things in the first 2 games.

It's kinda sad because it almost seems like a new franchise now because they are not doing so much with the horror as opposed to the action. The only 2 things keeping it a Parasite Eve game in my mind are Aya being the main character and the Gun focused combat.

Still got may day one purchased PS originals in mint condition, I loved Parasite Eve. I will give them the benefit of the doubt and keep my wait and see stance. Hopefully if it proves a success, they can do something cool with the current gen consoles.

Reibooi4998d ago

Yeah I still have both my PS copies as well(I think I have 2 copies of PE 2 for some reason)

I would love to see the series be on the PS3 just to see the series grow in scope. It's just fact that they could do so much more on PS3. Despite my thoughts about the game I will still be picking it up day one when it comes out because as I said the game could be more true to the series then the trailer makes it seem.

The game is sure to be incredible regardless and I am still very much looking forward to it.

while your at it extend xenogears and the chrono series on to the ps3

TotalPS3Fanboy4997d ago (Edited 4997d ago )

We want Xenogears 2: Episode 6!!!

DigitalHorror814997d ago

Will definitely pick it up if and when it becomes available.

Godmars2904998d ago (Edited 4998d ago )

One hype train at a time please.

Would say as many as you think you can handle, but then you have to have a few generally good recognized games.

Bring it Back | Parasite Eve

From Japanese horror novel to game, the Parasite Eve franchise deserves a redemption arc in this week’s edition of Bring it Back.

NecrumOddBoy1186d ago

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.

CrimsonWing691185d ago

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?

Agreed.

Both PSP and DS were the very top of handheld gaming at that time. I never would have foresaw the decline in handheld gaming that we see today. So many companies had PSP titles, KH, FF, MGS, GTA etc A rare time and I don't know if we'll even see that type of support for handheld like we saw back then.

I never played Persona 3 on PSP though, I played it on PS2 and got it again on PS3 when it was on PSN, same with Persona 4, but everyone tells me Persona 4 on Vita is a lot better.

Fist4achin2441d ago

P4 golden on the Vita is excellent and if you have a Vita, it is definitely worth another go around.

I wish the Vita got half the support the psp did. I'm don't mean to complain but I feel it was just shorted. Oh well.

_-EDMIX-_2441d ago

@Fist- Well I have the PSTV and I did want to play Persona 4 again, I might pick up the Vita version.

It sucks Vita didn't get that same type of support, but the market has changed so much. So many phone games its not even funny. Its why when I hear a JRPG announcement, first thing I thinking about is "please don't be mobile" lol

VersusDMC2441d ago

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.

kakakaja2441d ago

Peace Walker and Dissidia were amazing titles as well, no doubt.

MetalGearsofWar2441d ago

This saddens me, because there will never be a proper successor to psp.

Jak & Daxter went out on a whimper with TLF

Last_Boss2584d ago

It's coming back on ps4, in a remaster.

KOIMOJO2584d ago

Interesting little thought piece. I feel like Parasite Eve and Syphon Filter could still have legs.

jokerman272584d ago

I hope Parasite Eve does, it is one of my favorite franchises EVER!

gangsta_red2584d ago

That Ghost n Goblins game for the PSP was the ultimate lesson in pain.

Capcom should make a collection and bring that game back.

Protagonist2584d ago

Ultimate Ghosts 'n Goblins was hard as hell, did beat it though... yet I did not, because when finishing the game, it encourage you to play through a second time in order to face off against the real final boss. Never did that... too much pain...

gangsta_red2584d ago

You're a braver soldier than me. There was a part that I just couldnt get past and I gave up im defeat.

jokerman272583d ago

They may, we are getting a Disney Afternoon Collection of all their old Disney games, maybe Arthur is next!
