RandomNPC – Video Game RPG Reviews, Editorials, and Features

The latest pages of Famitsu have some details regarding the PSP release of Parasite Eve: the 3rd Birthday. Square Enix is always happy to create new genres, and it seems this game will be a 3D gun action game. Project director Hajime Tabata called the game a “true third person shooter” and said it would be different from Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII.

Tabata also dished on a few other details, such as the fact that another development studio is working on the game as well, but he wouldn’t say whom. He also said that he is considering wireless play, but he wouldn’t specify if it was ad-hoc or Wi-Fi.

Tabata also gave a couple tidbits about the game’s plot and gameplay, both of which are linked due to a system called “overdrive” that crosses time. Aya utilizes this ability to fight and gain information from the game’s enemies, known as the Twisted.

Finally, he said that the game’s scenario and design are nearly finished, but he did not give a release time frame.
