History in Games:
1998 - Parasite Eve
1999 - Parasite Eve II
2010 - The 3rd Birthday
Overview:
Based on a Japanese novel, Parasite Eve follows on from that story following Eve who is able to control the minds and bodies of others and the police officer Aya who is out to stop her in New York. Taking some lead from the Resident Evil games, the series is an action RPG which the sequel increased the focus on. Both games led to a resurgence in popularity of the novel and its associated manga series but despite this the games never continued beyond the PS1 era. The sole gaming extension came from the PSP entry which is more of a side-game intended for mobiles, although this disjointed it from fans expectations who were often not keen on either the gameplay differences or how Aya was portrayed.
Where you a fan of the series, which was your favourite entry and how would you like it to return?
