If you've seen our hands-on with the PSP game you know that it isn't quite a true sequel to the Parasite Eve games, and takes the franchise in a pretty different direction gameplay wise. The site has a new trailer on it to check out that actually looks very promising overall. Everything is in Japanese so I can't understand a word of it, but I'm excited to see how this one is going to turn out.
