Contemplicity: Parasite Eve is one of my favorite franchises. I’ve read the novel, seen the movie multiple times and recently just finished the third game in the series. (I know it came out three years ago. I’m a bit behind on my gaming.) I absolutely adored the first game though. That first game is still strong enough to keep all the Parasite Eve games in my top video game franchises of all time. Seriously, I would put it in my top three right behind Final Fantasy and Metroid. The main reason for this admiration is the series’ main character, Aya Brea.
Sadly, it is getting harder and harder to be a fan.
Square Enix suggested they might remaster more games from their storied archives—here are the classics we’d like to see get a new coat of paint.
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.
It needs more than a remaster though, I hope they can turn disc 2 into a full game..
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
"... 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.
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.
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.
They already announced a Front Mission 3 remake. Doubt they'll also do a remaster.
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.
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...
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.
Exactly. SquareSoft merged with Enix shortly after Final Fantasy X and it has never been the same.
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.
I’m fairly certain Parasite Eve was not underrated. The game got a greatest hits release and is pretty fondly remembered to this day.
The Quest Mode for Ehrgeiz is phenomenal. Really good looking ps1 game that benefits from modern emulation.
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.
Take a look at some PS1 game prices that have really taken off over the past 2 years. Some are trending much higher, but a few have dipped recently and it might be your last shot to get them into your collection affordably.
I loved the first game and it was one of my favorite PS1 games. However I felt the second game was a RE2 knock-off. Its a shame this game has fallen into obscurity.
i still hate squenix for kill this game and the front mission too
3rd Birthday was so bad...thanks a lot, Toriyama
Death is an understatement, 3rd birthday was so bad that even the person who made it happen wants to consider it an alternate reality and make a proper PE3.
Ok first of all , The 3rd Birthday is NOT PE3 and Second Aya Brea is NOT DEAD ..
If anyone consider this crap called T3B as a "sexy" death for the true protagonist needs to think twice after the secret ending ( Eve is still isn't on the real world on the secret ending and it shows Aya brea hissing "congratulations , its your 4rth" , in fact Aya Brea is still alive and kicking in real life while Eve still living in her own world ) the Parasite Eve trademark is currently on unknown stage which pretty much confirms that Square Enix doesn't know how to deal with the IP considering the writer Hediaki Sena left SE by taking the name with him .. you might consider T3B as a spinoff in the meantime , Square Enix better let Takashi Tokita be the director of the next game and get rid of toriyama .
