Dude, I remember buying PE and playing it so much, and I recently thought about what it would be like if they brought out another one and I also have been thinking about buying a psp.

psp + PE (and MGS:PO) = me buying a psp

Desmondia

Parasite Eve! ! ...! Please be like the first game! Oh man oh man so excited...Shimomura do you have time to do that soundtrack too just like the first game? :3

KeithCourage

@Amazon_Chris: Sorry. Wrong article. Dangit. This is what I get for having multiple tabs open at once...

Amazon_Chris

Looks like I'm celebrating like there's no tomorrow.I wonder what they mean by "play differently from previous Parasite Eve titles".The whole rpg action game hybrid is what made Parasite Eve unique...

Xideo

That's pretty cool with the Agito announcement. Until now I had absolutely no interest in it, but with Crisis Core, Dissidia, and Agito XIII all for the PSP I just might end up getting one, and I'm no fan of mobile systems for w/e reason.

squall211

Ok ok fine! I'll buy a damn PSP! GEEEEEZ!!

lol

shredmanifesto

*yawn*

Sorry, what? You're excited about a FF branded card game?

Snake726

Once again, will the demo ship with american copies of the blu-ray, or will I have to import.

Amazon_Chris

"Wow, That's coming to PSP!"

phinehas

It says it's going to play differently... If it's the Parasite Eve equivalent of Metal Gear Ac!d, you can count me out.

RurouniQ

Thank god PE is getting a release on something people in the US actually have. But I wonder how it will play. I always loved the system in the first two games so I personally don't like them changing it, but we'll see. I'm just happy to have more Aya story.

AwShucks

PSP HERE I COME!

oneshot_

Oh, HELL YEAH!!

Final Fantasy Agito and Parasite EVE? Easy must buys.

Frologic

Parasite Eve debunked Lara Crof as the shiznet female protagonist.

I can't wait to see the sequel and the evolution of the super-fucking-awesome combat system.

PsycheE

I enjoyed playing PE as a break in-between FF's.

I do hope they turn up the difficulty level a notch or two...

Agito XIII: another FF exclusive for sony...

GO SONY!!!

iam.gmo

That PSP is way more flame-resistant than mine.
On topic, if I wanted to try out this whole Parasite Eve nonsense for the first time, which game should I pick up?

SlapStic.com

Them cards look like tarot cards!!! Omg this is the best news ever. My shining white psp LOVES YOU KOTAKU! LOVES YOU SQUARE ENIX! A love full of loving love. Otherwise I'm not rich enough to obtain some cellphone that may or may not work in north America JUST to play these games...

Yumayah

I was hoping this would happen I didn't plan on getting it for a cell phone. But I might get it for the psp.

Pyro Jack

Seems like the PSP will enjoy a very nice year in Japan.

Saint Anima

Parasite Eve? Now i have to finally buy a psp.

Detre

The original Parasite Eve on the PSX was awesome, but PE2 wasn't that good. I hope the new one is a step up.

evslin

wait wait... did i just read parasite eve?

wow.

flight240

This is great news, I am glad that Agito is coming to the PSP as well, since if it was Mobile only the chance of it coming out in North America was next to none.

Now all they need to do is announce Before Crisis: Final Fantasy VII for DS or PSP.

KnightsofRound

Fuck yes PSP, you are the most justified purchase ever!

mrantimatter

I JUST talked myself out of buying a PSP because I'm lackin' some cash. Looks like I'm going to have to screw myself over and grab a PSP soon anyway >.<

mfwahwah

Oh please let these come out in NA.

GrandfatherParadox

Oh my God they're finally learning. Now just bring over the Turks game for DS or PSP and I'll be so very happy.

Also, I'd like the Mega Man Legends game (no matter how shitty I hear it is) on the DS or PSP. Though that is Capcom, not Square-Enix.

Akanubon

I still rather have Agito on DS, but PSP will be good.

Third Birthday though, I think I'll still get it on the mobile.

Kenofthedead

NO!

Sorry...I love the psp....but i really want a Parasite Eve on my ps3....please...please!

Vecha

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

resetbutton

Ehhhhh... Agito is a card game, isn't it? I'm not familiar with Parasite Eve, though, so maybe that my pique my interest.

BluFire

lol today i had the urge to go buy psp and so i did and now i know it was good thing

Fstrike

Very Glad to hear it. Maybe FF13A will be a special package for PSP. I'm still surprised Crisis Core wasn't.

Ryodestined

@Petezah:

yeah!

Vecha

I guess I could get a PSP and hook it up to my TV, but I'd much rather play it on a normal-sized console. I think I'd be willing to get a PS3 for this.

Petezah

@KeithCourage: Seconded! Please, please, please, stick to the Action/RPG shtick with mostly RPG instead of PE2!

art_zombie

i'm not "shocked" yet.

bialia

@KeithCourage:

Good call. The first Parasite Eve has one of the best videogame soundtracks ever.

Soulflare

I've waited for years for Parasite Eve to return. I hope they drop it out in NA at the same time as Japan. Now if only we can get Aya on the PS3, who wouldn't want to see everyone's lovable K-9 turn into Cerberus in HD?

Silenthillnight

Well that decides it then. Even with MG:PO, the Monster Hunter games, and the Star Ocean 2 remake, I was still on the fence. But a Parasite Eve sequel? You have my money Sony.

CHunterX

@Intellectualdiot: and also,

please, no cards.

bialia

I'm very, very intrigued by this new Parasite Eve title. Play your cards right here, Square.

Intellectualdiot

YES! MOAR AYA BREA IN THE SHOWER BEFORE THAT MONSTER ATTACKS!

akumaserge

Oh my god, I've been waiting for a Parasite Eve sequel for so long! Awesome move, Squeenix. Your money-grubbing ways have finally coincided with my own interests! Now, just release Einhander, Xenogears, and Vagrant Story on the North American PSN and you'll be entitled to a substantial amount of my money. Not as much as Harmonix, but you'll get your fair share. DO IT NOW!

Altersparck

FANTASTIC! I love Parasite Eve AND FFA XIII can't be too bad

Now can we have that Suikoden pack...please?

Tietsu

YES! Looks like I wont miss out on any FF 13 games.

darkstar5555

@Tietsu: I second that. Suikoden I&II need to be localized or at least released on PSN...

Altersparck

Well looks like I'll be getting myself a PSP very soon.

KrylonBlue

dear square:

remake parasite eve 1 for psp.

thank you, much <3's
psp owners (namely ME!!)

i have PE2 but for some god reason i will never know never picked up PE1 when i could. seems like a large mistake on my part if anything it should be the other way around -_-

demonknightinuyasha

Hell friggen yes! PE3 on PSP! :D

Demaar

Why can't we just get a sequel to Parasite Eve that plays like PARASITE EVE!?!?

stfufools

Now I can stop being angry that I don't have a Japanese phone any more. And now I must go find that import copy of PE to refresh my memory... THANK YOU SQUARE-ENIX!

donquijote23

Maybe they'll release Final Fantasy VII Before Crisis for the PSP, too. Those darn Turks are just so lovable!

greatslack

I still remember the shower scene from Parasite Eve II... What?! I was a teenager, damnit!

Antiterra

YES. PLEASE. FINALLY. MY AYA. My wish of non-mobile threequel has come to fruition.

She looks fucking awesome in that wedding dress. Now I should get around to beating Parasite Eve II.

Furude

Ooouuu. Me want! PSP sure will be looking pretty lively this year around.

mikes_stalker

I played the japanese import of Parasite Eve all the way through and imported the US version as well. Good times!

El-Suave

Booyah! Not a fan of card games, but definitely a PE fan.

@SlapStic.com: First one for the PSX

The graphic is pretty dated by now, but I love the story and the gameplay. Pretty much my favourite psx game

Baka_Survivor

Glad I have a PSP, but I hope Parasite Eve is worth it. This is what, the 4th, as the 3rd was cellphone only. As for Agito XIII, meh, we'll see.

Foxstar Sixtail

OMG OMG OMG THANK YOU SE. Parasite Eve on the PSP makes me SO DAMN HAPPY.

GreenCard200

wooo yes.... now i might actually play Agito...

scuba2steve

What next? Tobal? Einhänder!?

Shiryu

What's the big hype about those games?They look boring!

cxplorer

@Snake726: lol they're excited at the PE3 game, not the FF game

ShadowStarWolf

I loved parasite eve, one of the first games I bought on the ps1, mixing leveling up guns if i recall correctly.

JakeDunn

I guess it´s time to buy a new PSP, the old one works but what the hell...I guess suddenly the FF13 blow wasn´t so hard for Sony, yeah...

Daisuash

AT LAST more Parasite Eve. :)

Tigerfog

Parasite Eve?! Finally! I love my PSP!

SuFiAlliance

@SlapStic.com: get the first parasite eve game... it was far more gripping than the second...

...of course I never finished the second one because someone stole it >:(

kathartik

How in the Nine Hells did I miss this news?!? Finally more Parasite Eve.... finally! The incredibly well thought out emotional horror story of the first one and the subtle yet elaborate conspiracies hinted at in the second one..... Dear God this better end up having a full PE3 or 4 come out for ANY system.

Human Bomb

WOO! Now if SE will annouce FF7:BC for PSP/DS and FF4-2 (or w/e its called) for PSP/DS I'd be all set and never get into cell phone gaming.

BassForever

I've thought about getting Parasite Eve off ebay or some such thing. It lloks really good, and I would prefer it being availbale on PSN. (And why isn't Legend of Dragoon on PSN, either? Stupid Sony holding everything up...)

armless-phelan

Well, I'm glad to see that The 3rd Birthday has gone from Mobile Phone to PSP, but I still wish it was a complete follow up to PE3...I still don't know what's up with this not-quite-a-sequel mess. I was hoping that part was BS, but I guess I stand corrected.

Thinker302

Parasite Eve!

Koztah

I've so gotta buy a PSP, my 'must buy' game count on that is way higher than on my DS now.

breakblossom

Sounds intriguing. I wonder what kind of design for that 3rd Birthday the'll use? Maybe it-

[upload.wikimedia.org]

...Oooh...o.o

Mister_CrazyGuy

@Koztah: Parasite muthafuckin EVE, man!!

Love this series, Squeenix does good body-horror when they get the chance, and this series had some of Square's bestest, ickiest work. The first one had one of the best combat systems they've ever done, and even the second one had some pretty decent bits; the desert motel level near the beginning, especially, played like a really good X-Files episode.

cynopt

I sure wish the PS3 could emulate PSP games.

Guild_Navigator

@Baka_Survivor: It's not a card game. There are a bunch of different playable characters and different character classes, each of which uses different weapons, ranging from spears, scythes, swords, and guns to cards, musical instruments, or a moogle doll.

Suzaku

First Crisis Core, then Disidia, now Agito XIII

Man, where do I get my PSP!!!!!!

KristenBal

Wow, PE, FF 13 spin off, and a Kingdom Hearts spin off to boot.

PSP is really starting to turn it self around.

Can't wait.

Grafh

@Foxstar Sixtail: This isn't the 4th. It's a PSP port of the cellphone version, essentially the same game.

Furude

@Furude: Well, technically, the first Parasite Eve game is a sequel to a novel. So it *is* the 4th.

It's just the same was the mobile game.

Suzaku

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MORE FINAL FANTASY!!! :D

ShadowScale

I havent baught a PSP game in over 2 years. IF PE3 comes out for psp, then I will definately buy that game.

KingKevin

I hope developers start developing again for psp.We all seen chain of Olympus so we all know the psp have legs.

d3vilg0d

@iam.gmo: Too bad it's for the sure-bet system rather than the system that still needs the help...

Maybe once Sony is full-swing on their digi-distro, these will be available for download and they'll let you play them on the PS3... They DID hire people to do BC programming on the PS3 for PSP and PS2, so maybe we'll see it by the year's end or a little bit after.

bobtheduck

Sony should celebrate by making Parasite Eve I + II available on the PSN Store.

gencid

YES! So glad they saw the light.

I can't get any .jpgs to show up on kotaku with internet explorer. If I right click and say show image, it does nothing. If i open the page in firefox, it's fine. Anyone have any suggestions?

karaliusbronius

Oh forgot to mention. Kingdom Heart Birth by Sleep and Final Fantasy Dissidia are also coming to PSP too :D wow...

bahiatronic

Loved PE1. Loved PE2. Can't wait for PE3.

Thanks Square!

Cutie_Honey

why does everyone think ffxiiiA is a card game?

Jinra321

Any news on actual release date for FF13?
If the demo comes out in March 2009...is it likely that we would see a US release September or later (just my rough, illogical estimation).

Parasite Eve was good...but I thought, at that time, Square was trying too hard to mimic RE's success in its own way.

At least PE wasn't as bad as Chocobo Racing (or whatever that was).

brittle_bird

Looks like it was a good time to buy a PSP.

Zayus

OH MAH GAWD!!!! THIS HAS ME PUMPED! I've been waiting for a PE sequel!! YES YES YES!!!

Demoskinos

In case anyone is interested, Famitsu also announced that Kingdom Hearts "Birth by Sleep" will see a release in "2009". No exact date listed.

[www.famitsu.com]

It also mentions Dissidia being released 12/08.

bakagaijin

Now it makes me want to buy a PSP.. But I'm still not sure =/ Is a psp really worth it? The main games I would get only the FF titles. Nothing else seem interesting for the PSP.

Asagura

I hope they don't screw up like they did with PE2; I finally finished PE1 after the many years of trying to find it, and the ending left me hanging. The combat was awesome, but when I found a copy of Parasite Eve 2, I quit and was amazed at how much they changed. It was like a copy of Resident Evil 3, with only one or two things changed.
