Trendy Gamers: This year wasn’t exactly stellar for Sony’s first handheld. While we did receive a few good games throughout the course of the year, there just weren’t enough of them. With the release of the Playstation Vita in February 2012, don’t expect to see a PSP Game of the Year category next year.
XBA says: There's plenty of horror content to experience in this remaster of a remaster of a remake.
Neil writes: "The original Corpse Party released in Japan way back in 1996. Some 25 years later though, it's finally made it to Europe, the Americas and, most notably, Xbox."
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?

It's crazy you come out with a snes style old school rpg and people go crazy. It's as if they LIKE games like that, and you never had to force next generation games on anyone to begin with. ;)
