As long as it has Shin Megami Tensei in the title and Atlus USA is there to bring it to the states then im happy

Though for some crazy reason P5 is on vita, i would hope it would do something with my P4G save

 

[grandjedi6]

Oh man, I can't wait for Devil May Cry PSP, Persona 3DS and SMT PS3 to come out!

 

[BasilZero]

Persona 5 *_*!

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Persona 5 and an updated version of SMT 4 seem like pretty likely announcements. Hopefully something with Kaneko's involvement, too.

[Angelus Errare]

Persona 5 for PS3/PS4.

 

[Nags]

I'd like to see a remake of SMT 1 reusing SMT 4's engine and assets. It shouldn't take many resources considering how they'd have a bunch of modern Tokyo assets from SMT 4, and SMT 1 really could use a gameplay revamp. SMT 2 would need more original material though.

This makes my mouth water.

 

[TurnipFritters]

To be honest I would buy Shin Megami Tensei 4 Maniax Edition if they got Kaneko to redraw all the new demons and added a working Estoma.

Like an actual reason to go neutral?

I can't see them copying and pasting SMT4's Tokyo areas to a remake of the earlier titles... But I get the feeling that you're suggesting that they use the templates to build new ones. I can see that, though I'd like a little more color in the next outing of the engine.

I meant elements like textures, models and backgrounds, which could easily be reused, even if the arrangement of rooms and corridors were changed.

By SMT 2 needing more original content, I was talking about how it features environments pretty different from a modern Tokyo, like the futuristic areas and other locations which are completely different from any locations from SMT4, so they'd need completely new assets.

 

[Holy Order Sol]

You play the game as a pixie
By the end your team of weak/average demons are summoning JFK and Obama.
*and if its a president, they get a special ability- taxing

And youd mainly fight humans of course, so the tax puts them into depression and has a 50% chance of insta kill if they off themselves.


...okay i led that thought on too long

real talk, I'd play that

2013 announcements
-
duh, Persona 5, probably in a few weeks.

2014 announcements
-
P3 for Vita to go with the movies. P3P content + Answer, now in a proper version.
SMT4 updated version, who knows we might get SMT4 anime even....
probably some other spin offs or Catherine 2!

 

[Zephyx]

Wait just a little bit longer!

There's probably a trailer waiting for us at TGS?

Spoiler

Don't do this, please...

I think the only game for 2013 in Atlus' slate right now is the new Etrian Odyssey so they are likely allocating most of their dev resources to P5. I think it'll be available March 2014 the earliest.

Spoiler

HYPED!!!!!!!

Okay I'll stop.

I wish I could ban you!

every time Aeana wonders what Kaneko is up to, I know that there's still no news and I die a little more inside... this talk of a 25th anniversary without him (and Cozy too!) is hurting my soul

What? Shin Etrian Odyssey came out a month ago. Devil Survivor 2 Break Record is their current project.

Also, P5 hasn't been announced while SMT x FE has been. SMT x FE could conceivably come out in March, I doubt P5 will drop before Fall.

 

[Glass Rebel]

Is it too optimistic to hope for remakes of SMTI/II/If...? And localizations?

 

[fates]

Y'know, I'd pay good money for a SMT5 that is a collaboration between HR Giger and Kazuma Kaneko.

 

[Femmeworth]

Until Index has a new owner (that isn't going to fuck things up), I'm not getting hyped for anything Atlus related. :\

 

[BLACK AMERICAN PSYCHO]

What the hell could Kaneko's game be though? I hop they give Action RPGs another try(although the raidou games were garbage from a combat prespective, but I'm sure they have learned their lesson since then). A SMT game with Dragon's dogma esque gameplay would be amazing.

 

[OnFire331]

Persona 5! Come on Atlus, I've waited long enough!

Wait just a little bit longer!

TGS?

Spoiler

Please...

I'd guess next year is when the blow-out for new projects including a new SMT sub-series (hopefully for consoles) is announced. Maybe P5 announcement this year and the rest of the announcements in 2014.

 

[Megidolaon]

I can't wait til we get a trailer and Famitsu scans for P5 and shit. Hype-train! Choo Choo!

I must be patient. Time never waits. It delivers us all to the same end.

 

[fates]

If it is Persona 5, I wonder if they'd use the redesigns and new demons that were seen in SMT IV.

 

[Man God]

I'd be pretty surprised if Persona 3DS didn't happen next year. It makes too much sense.

Also SMT IV has me plenty satisfied for mainline games, though 1,2, if... remade in this engine would be pretty amazing.

What SMT IV really had me missing though was more Trauma Team...

Atlus doesn't generally have much of a TGS presence. A Persona 4 reveal in Famitsu sometime in the next month is a more likely scenario (and it was around this time last year that SMT IV was revealed in Famitsu).

I'll beat this drum until I'm banned, I want to see Strange Journey in this engine.

 

[Rpgmonkey]

Looking forward to seeing what they have planned for their anniversary.

 

[randomkid]

Sorry, Strange Journey is at the end of the line. 1, 2, and If come first. 3 HD can cut if it wants though.

Oh right, the Devil Survivor Remake is also on slate for 2013 for JP. For US however, Etrian Odyssey is the only game from Atlus that is yet to be released in 2013. I might be wrong so you can correct me. I haven't caught up with the latest Atlus news just yet.

SMTxFE is the collaboration with Nintendo, correct? I think it will not come out in March as we haven't seen what kind of RPG they are doing with it and it's just been announced this year. P5 has been in development for a long time so it's most likely to come out before Fall (maybe not in March as I have initially said so ).

 

[Chie Satonaka]

I would really like an SMT 1 and 2 remake.

Persona 5 is a given.

A second game in the Catherine universe would be neat.

And then something new would be good too.

<3 Atlus

 

[shadyspace]

Man it's crazy that SMT 1 and 2 still haven't been released outside of Japan

Considering its been ported on two different systems since Atlus USA was founded I'd have to agree.

As much as I enjoy them, they are very obtuse games, even compared to 3 & 4.

 

[IncandescentPrecept]

Do we have any news of the Atlus sale?

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Do we have any news of the Atlus sale?

No. Sega Sammy Holdings is interested in getting Index and so is some random financial firm known as J Trust. We'll know what happens by the end of the month.

 

[Blueblur1]

That would be awesome. I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Damn it Atlus no more P3 ports!

 

[shadyspace]

Nintendo should buy Atlus

Isn't it a bit rash to promise things for 2014 when your parent company is going through bankruptcy and is for sale?

It's business as usual until they have reason to believe otherwise, I'm sure Index knows that it's in their best interest(and that of the sale) to let Atlus operate without interruption, especially given what they're neck deep in.

 

[childplease]

Persona 5 for Wii, Wiiu and PC thanks to the SEGA acquisition.

Make it happen Captain.

Persona 3-DS

They did technically list that as a game in development for 3DS early on. I wouldn't say no to a Persona 3 on 3DS. lol (or any Persona really)
