I was thinking this is just a random fan made trailer, but it's actually a thing?! Hopefully they have a lawyer on retainer. But is there really no hope for a parasite eve remaster in the age of remasters? Apart from the Silent Hill series which is having a miraculous renaissance currently, the original parasite eve game is for me easily the most under-represented excellent classic ps1 horror begging for a remaster.
The main roadblock for Parasite Eve is that Square never owned the IP. The first game is a sequel to a Japanese novel of the same name. That's the incident in Japan that you hear them refer to in the game. There was a live-action adaptation of the novel back in the 90s too.
Ah that makes sense now, I always wondered why they dropped the PE moniker for that 3rd game, but the fact that Aya was an original character fits. Never did get to play that third one, though I believe it wasn't that good so probably not missing out on much. The original book I did always want to read, should probably look up a translation for that if available. It's a shame that greed on all sides could effectively bury the possibility of a remake and a great IP overall.
I've made a few attempts to play The 3rd Birthday, but always get bored and give up within a couple of hours. The body-swapping combat sounds interesting on paper, but quickly gets tedious in practice.
Oh my goodness, I completely forgot about this one! I recall seeing some early info before all the silent hill revamp hype and really wanted to try it. Shame though from what you said, and also sounds like it's not quite the horror I was expecting from that mission based approach you mentioned... Hey ho, definitely no shortage of good horror for me now so I can pass on that then heh
