Pretty good stuff. A couple things I think that should've been touched on regarding the "death" of the series: - Hajime Tabata, the writer of The 3rd Birthday, really loved the game. He felt it should've been released on PS3 www.gematsu.com/2011/02/tabata-on-3rd-birthday-we-should-have-made-the-game-for-ps3 and kept bringing up T3B in meetings. He really wanted a sequel andriasang.com/comz4i/ But he was assigned to FFXV and then forced to resign, so we probably wouldn't have seen the sequel anyway. - The fact that The 3rd Birthday doesn't have the PE name might be indicative that Sena was not happy with the previous two games. - One of the older trailers for FFVII Remake actually had an Aya Easter egg. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Kznek1uNVsg.html (it's brief but present) - T3B actually had a modest following in the 2010's among the casual audience. Thanks for this. It was pretty fun.
I remember my first actual playthrough of PE1. I had rented it from a local convenience store and couldn't beat the electric (alligator)? Because I didn't know to switch targets (derp) Anyway, I played again a few years later, and one of my favorite parts was either 1. On top of the hospital after you kill the spider boss, Or 2, when you come up from the sewer/water purification plant to the tracks and the music changes. Always made me excited.
just chiming in to say that I love the channel but haven't played PE yet so I'll be back to watch this video when I do. Leaving a comment to help fix how criminally underrated this channel is. merry christmas!
Thank You!! PE is one of my all-time favorites and has gotten so little attention over the years by the community. It was well worth the wait for this video and your hard work shows.
Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed the vid, and happy I was able to do something new for the P.E community. It’s a shame there’s not more material on it. Although I just started learning Japanese so hopefully some of that inaccessible content will become more digestible in the future 🤙👍
No wonder I LOVED Control. Something about it made it that special. Game was so good! Top favorite games, along side Parasite Eve and Oni (I thought the angle cop girl was resembling Oni 2001 game) One scene from Stranger Things season 3 resembles A HUGE scene from the Central park scene in PE. Great video and info! I do hope for a remake or a game similar to this combat.
Glad you enjoyed it. Control definitely has its inspirations from other sources but definitely in terms of the overall trop and the unique gameplay it’s the closest I can think of something being like P.E. Never got a chance to play Oni, maybe I’ll have to add it to my list
Glad you enjoyed the vid. That last song is actually a Norihiko Hibino song. Funny it reminds you of let it go; it reminded me of an old smithereens song called “especially for you” lol guess it’s a common harmony
Excellent job! So glad you finally got to play through it, but you need to play it a second time to tackle the Chrysler building and unlock the true ending lol here's hoping we get a remake!
I wish we could get a remake but i doubt that will happen. Overall, it's a wonderful experience. I loved playing it along side with Final Fantasy 8 back in the day. Love your videos btw
Honestly man you should give it another shot. I’d highly recommend playing with a walk though. Let me know if you decide to try it again. Would be interested to hear your experience
That’s pretty much why I mention Control. That game is kinda blueprint of what a modern PE could be, but it also shares so many similarities I feel it works on a spiritual successor level too. I think a lot of people would be happy with just a graphical remaster like FF8.
I love this game. There’s never been anything else like it. I doubt you have much time to play games unless you’re doing videos on them, but you really should check out PE2. It improves upon the original in a couple ways. Even 3rd Birthday had it’s moments despite killing the franchise and dropping the best things about it. It’s not good by any means, but I had fun with it. Kinda like RE6. Aya Brea was like my first big video game crush. While everyone else was obsessed with Lara Croft I had Aya all to myself.
Aya Guy here too. Gentlemen prefer Blondes lol yeah pretty much since last year I kinda only play games I’m doing projects on because I normally need to go through multiple playthroughs. P.E 2 is one I’m interested to check out though. Think it would make a good comparison vid between that and Resident Evil since it operates a bit more along those lines. I may try 3rd birthday if I can get it on my PS3 if not I may have to skip that one. P.E definitely has one of the chillest online communities too and it would be cool to make another vid for them as well
