Others say that they are just simply interactive games that mimic non-interactive media, like films or TV shows. What I believe Tokita meant with the label is the usage of movie-like cut-scenes and added animation to simple and static backgrounds. The definition of this term is quite subjective and is up to the player. Some say that this genre is when a game adheres to the “laws” of a movie, instead of the “laws” or logic, reason, and reality. In my opinion, it seemingly didn’t work, but it succeeded in other aspects that will be discussed later.īefore we begin though, let’s begin by defining by cinematic RPG. The director of the game Takashi Tokita and the developmental team called Parasite Eve a “cinematic RPG,” an explicit attempt to meld the flash of film with what was at the time video game’s best storytelling tools. The failure instead was in the game’s way of depicting the actual story of the game. Let me clarify: the game itself is incredible and extremely engaging, and I enjoyed every moment of it. The game, despite having been practically forgotten, has a lasting legacy in failure. The story itself did not reach America until 7 years after the release of the first Parasite Eve game. What is interesting is that although the game was based on this book, it instead acts as a sequel to the book itself. The story of the game is as follows: Parasite Eve is a biological horror-themed turn-based action RPG that follows a half-Japanese NYPD officer named Aya Brea and her horrifying struggle with Eve, an “ancient evil” that is threatening all life on Earth through the revolt of mitochondria in the cells of New Yorkers.īox cover of Parasite Eve.

The story of the game is based on the book of the same name written by Hideaki Sena in 1995 that was a major hit in Japan in the United States, it was an entirely different story. Parasite Eve is a video game that was released in 1998 for the PlayStation by what is now Square Enix.

Parasite Eve is a game that has been mostly forgotten in the video game canon as it has been summarily outshined by the many other games that reside within its genre. In short: if you haven’t heard of Parasite Eve, don’t feel bad.
