Parasite Eve set for Japanese release

Parasite Eve made its playable debut in the Tokyo Game Show just a few days before it is scheduled to be released in Japan. Square's horror-RPG threatens to compete with the Resident Evil series for control of the horror game genre.

According to UGP Online editor Randy Nelson, covering the Tokyo Game Show, Parasite Eve opens with the now-standard beautiful CG rendered introduction, then puts the player into the shoes of Aya Brae, New York City police detective.

Parasite Eve has been confirmed for U.S. release, although Square is no longer hyping a simultaneous release for the U.S. and Japan, as they did when the game was announced. It's expected to come to the U.S. later this year.
