Parasite Eve turns 28 today. This is the Dengeki Scoop from February 1998, one month before launch.
Squaresoft tried to merge Hollywood CG with a horror RPG. The pipeline ran from Tokyo to LA to Honolulu, staffed by people from Digital Domain and Rhythm & Hues. They built custom crowd simulation software for one cutscene and threw it away. The magazine called it a "cinematic RPG." The genre didn't have a name yet.

Cammy drawn by Akiman at SF35th anniversary exhibition. Capcom, please have Akiman provide the art direction and character art for the next Street Fighter.

Found and translated the 1998 Square Maniacs magazine CD with a full tour of the Square USA office in Los Angeles during #ParasiteEve development.
Storyboards on the walls, monster animations done by hand and a young director @Takashi_Tokita. Must be some wonderful memories.

FFVII, then PE, then The Spirits Within. Each one pushed further into Hollywood CG.

Square used middleware called ‘The Allocator’ to produce the EVE transformation sequences, the liquefaction-to-reconstitution pipeline that was the game’s visual signature.

An amazing commercial for Dark Stalkers/Vampire. The live action and it looks like CG (or is it 2d animation composed?) combined is fantastic. Love the shot of Rikuo.

Clock tower's director pitched a horror game where you can't fight back. His team said it would never work.
Demento, Outlast, Amnesia, Alien Isolation.
What else fits in this lineage?

Harmful Park (1997). the cover art was so unappealing it killed sales.
Low sales meant a small print run. Small print run made it rare. Now it's one of the most expensive ps1 games ever made.
The cover never improved. The game was always excellent.
