[quote name='Organization_XIII']But for guys like me who don't have $220 on an old PS1 release, it's a God-send.[/QUOTE]
I wasn't being sarcastic in the least. Up to and including the PS1 I was stupidly gutting my game library at the end of each generation in order to afford the next one. (dumb broke kid + consoles used to not be backwards compatible)
I remember selling all of my PS1 games except for Star Ocean The Second Story only to eventually get a PS2 and then proceed to repurchase every game that was still available at a normal price. (I had Suikoden I and II and I'm still kicking myself)
These PSN releases are totally a God-send. (Incidentally I never sell any games ever now and never will even if I can replace them with digital copies)
Yeah, I used to have the original version, but I wound up having to get rid of it before I could get very far in, so I was pretty disappointed. but now that it's on PSN, I can finally get back to playing.
If you call Parasite Eve survival horror, you're an idiot.
@Wolfkin:
PE is classic turn based RPG gameplay with the ability to move around while waiting for the meter to recharge so you can attack again. It's a wonderful game. I'm a bit biased since it's in my top five favorite RPG's of all time, though. I'll be picking this up next week with the PSN card I get at K-Mart with Crysis 2.
Here's some gameplay from the first hour of the first game.. fight starts around the 4 minute mark.. note how you can move around and are actually encouraged to do so against Eve's attacks.
