NextGenRetro: With the NGP release at the end of this year, the aging PSP still has allot to look forward to as Dissidia 012 and Gods Eater Burst released this month. Then, we have The 3rd Birthday and Patapon3 next month. Plus sometime this year we get Valkyria Chronicles III, Monster Hunter Portable 3rd, and Final Fantasy Type-0.
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?

Nevada Dru takes a look at Dissidia Final Fantasy NT and why it is a classic case of less is more.
Hardcore Gamer: The fighting franchise starring the heroes and villains of Final Fantasy is back in action. Dissidia Final Fantasy NT is the third main entry in the franchise and the first to be released on a home console. Dissidia Final Fantasy and its follow-up, 012, were both released on the PSP in 2008 and 2012 respectively. It’s been a long time since the series was last seen and game design has changed drastically since then.
Given that, what’s the difference? How have the Dissidia games changed since the franchise’s inception on the PSP to the recent release on PS4. Here are the major changes between Dissidia Final Fantasy and Dissidia Final Fantasy NT.
those games are good enough till the ngp arrives.
Looks like a good list for PSP until NGP shows up, I mean 3DS didn't have any Mario or Zelda games that come out with it.
Which I think blows because a Mario game would be awesone and Zelda would be great.
How about a Yakuza game for PSP? Does Sega have plans to translate the game?
PSP has a whole catalog of great PS1 RPGs going for it, though. I will definitely be satisfied until NGP comes out.
I felt my psp went out with a bang with MGS Peace Walker and God of War, but God Eater Burst and FF type 0 look pretty sick
