No way is this not a real project. Most of their promo videos are lazy. as. shit. Why on earth would they spend so much effort putting this together, this close to launch?
And what's with the prices at the end? The descriptions are different, is that just standard/special edition prices or what?
Believe.

You're goddamn right it was. I was at work when the thread showed up and had only watched the screens.
Jack Frost has so many forms and variants, and could have many more by "mocking" SMT classic compendium. And that Metroid like map, so good.
Can someone explain the context for why they included it in the trailer? Putting aside how bizarre it is to have something so completely different from the actual game in the trailer, it's not like this is a reveal trailer for Deep Strange Journey. It's a remake of a DS game and one that was revealed something like a year ago. It's not fooling anyone.
The description is that it's Jack Frost and Pyro Jack exploring the Schwarzwelt in a new game called "Shin Megami Tensei: Deep Strange Journey." So the actual name and price appears at the end of its segment, but with a different logo.
But then "psych, that's not actually what 'Deep Strange Journey' is," and they proceed to show a reel for the real game.

I hope they announce this for real at the concert in two weeks.

Atlus please. That looks awesome.
Yes?
Jk. I want this too. Actually a little bit tired of Metroidvania games but I would make an exception for something pretty weird like this.
Right, so it doesn't make any sense. What does this do other than annoy people?

That pixel art style is so Momodora
Best dungeon/stratum out of Atlus' DS/3DS dungeon crawlers.

You say that now, I'm going to have second thoughts and try to give the dungeon a chance, and then get to it and remember why I hated it in the first place.
The main thought I remember having was "well... if there is a bright side to this, at least it's not SMT1 Neutral Route Cathedral"

Seems like, given the abnormally amount of effort put into this ad, Krobon's really got the chance to make a Jack Bros. + Strange Journey spinoff in their house style. And that's really exciting after both Pharaoh Rebirth+ and the little Konosuba game they made. I hope this pans out for them.

Annoying people was their go to strategy for marketing Persona 5.

It has to be real... do you remember when everyone wanted more info of Persona 5 and the old lady was covering the whole screen?

Theres the p4 anime and a Devil Survivor 2 anime, but neither is great

There's one based on the original novel and one based on the a SMT comic called Tokyo Revelation. Theyre both bad.
I am surprised they didn't make a SMT4 anime though, but given how they could barely scrape together a budget for the Persona 4 adaptations I guess it isn't that surprising.
You know nothing about the series but you're sure it's real? C'mon. I would like it to be real but who knows. They could just be pulling a Capcom MMX redesign.

I'd like to buy that fake game please.
No interest in that actual real game they've got there. At all.

that looks like a lot of work for a fake game...
No one needs to know the series to see there's too much work on this to be just a prank, it's obvious that they are testing the waters, maybe if the response will be underwhelming the game will never see the light but the game is definitively real.
Yeah, it's not like it's and unprecedented thing coming from japanese devs either.
I mean it COULD be a real thing, and boy I'd be ecstatic, but it looking "too elaborate to be fake" doesn't really mean anything.

on my wish list nowMah gawd if only. There would need to be ALOT of fan buzz for Atlas to seriously consider it.

Atlus is just letting folks know that even their fake games look dope.
Consider that a warning to any rivals.
