I'm a huge fan of the Parasite Eve games and oh-so-happy that a new one is on the way, even if it's on the PSP. I've been keeping away from the plot up until this trailer, so not too sure what's going on other than that Aya Brea can do what the Agents do in The Matrix.
The 3rd Birthday is looking quite amazing. Loving the dark style the series has maintained here. I also like how Aya's pants represent her health and get ripped to shreds the more damage she takes.
What do you think of the game?

To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

Narrator could have used some coffee though. Or maybe a hit of ecstasy.
I'm really pumped for this. Loving the music and overall feel of this game. :)
I need this game in my PSP right now.
Guess I like a challenge
I want this game but my attention span for my PSP games lasts about as long as it takes to finish that plane ride or to take a dump.
As for the game, I miss the whole HUGE DOME/GRID battle system that the old game had.
Man I can't wait for this. I'll miss the slower explorey parts of 2 but as long as there's a grip of weapons and some sort of rpg number stuff I'm good <3
That aside, I can see a lot of people trying to beat this game with one health point.
*sigh* I really only play PSP when I have to do a lot of bus commuting, and at the moment, it's not the case. I'm a little surprised they're not doing a PSN version - it seems like the audience would be wider and the costs would be less.
It's not going to be an RPG, it's going to be a shooter/action game. Like Dirge of Cerebrus (sp?), but not shitty, hopefully.
Guys, please buy this game in droves so that we can eventually get another proper console RPG PE. Buy two copies, I'll *reimburse you.

*I will not actually reimburse you
I'll probably still check this out.
I'm a big fan of the original two, the first being one of my earliest PS1 games. Played them a lot. I'll probably emulate it if I can't find a PSP for cheap.
Still progress, since a few years ago we were saying "even if it's on some Japanese mobile phone service we'll probably never see."
It's the official third game in the series, so you're not wrong. It's described as "an RPG with third person shooter elements", so I'm guessing it will be 60% a shooter with RPG stats, abilities, and exp. Like SE's version of Mass Effect. Whatever it's like, I'm buying it.
Just consider it karma for all your shitty comments we've been forced to read.
Also, ive never played the previous games, so putting them on Psn would be cool, Square.
love the planet earth style narration.
I'm totally getting this.
Beyond that, this trailer still doesn't even explain WTF is going on. They definitely should've touched on shit that happened in the original games.
It would've been easy with an Aya narrator instead of some random dude talking who doesn't even sound right! Who thought of that?! No wonder there's no gameplay dialogue sounds. The casting director was awful. How is anyone who's never played the series ever going to open to such an awesome game if they still have no idea what's going on?
Fail.
Fail.
Fail written all over this.
... Thankfully, Parasite Eve is so awesome that original supporters of the series will love it regardless. ;-)
