Ahhh, systems? I don't recognize most of those names, but I wouldn't mind knowing what systems we're talking about for the more recognizable ones. Thanks! :)

Still waiting on platforms but you can assume most of them are PS2. Gallery Freak is coming out for PSP though (based on anime).

I've heard that the Treasure Box is pretty much 100% PS2.... while Devil Summoner is up in the air. It should be PS2 but it could also go lame and turn DS. :)

If it's DS it would be the biggest let-down news piece of the year.

PS3 is still far far away for someone like R&D1 and they gotta be working on something for PS2 in the meantime. Since they have a really good engine they might as well use it one more time before having to start from scratch and build a PS3 engine.
 
I heard about the Treasure Box WAY BACK during the Dreamcast days.

It's great to see it come back, although that list seems kinda small.

If it's being published by Sega then it's likely it'll come on GCN.
 
I guess Devil Summoner is the RPG sequel they talked about last week. I was hoping for Xenosaga III.
 
Gunstar Heroes Treasure Box (incl. Gunstar Heroes, Alien Soldier, Dynamite Heddy)

Never played any of these so this is a must buy for me!

Advanced Taisenryaku Germany
Pantsdragon (???)
Dynamite Detective

These 3 sound like the Sega classic games ported to PS2 (The Sega 2000 series or whatever thats called here).

Pantsdragon = Panzer Dragoon? (@_@
Or am I just keeping empty hopes up?

It would be the biggest news of my year! Soul Hackers is kind of how I imagined SMT DS to be- with poopie 3d!

That's what I thought at first, but the katakana is a bit off. Guess we'll have to wait for verification.

I'm pretty sure it's Panzer Dragoon 1. Sounds like another Sega Arghs to me. :(

- Gunstar Heroes Treasure box (Gunstar Heroes + Alien Soldier + Dynamite Heddy)
- Advance Taisenryaku
- Galaxy Forces
- Dynamite Detective (called Die Hard in US?)
- Panzer Dragoon
- Last Bronx
- Sega Memorial Selection

I'd gladly take a PD1 remake/port on PS2. I don't want to be pulling out my Saturn each time I play... Now if only PD Zwei and Azel would come out...

Sega Memorial Selection?

When did Sega die, and why wasn't I informed there would be a funeral? :)
 
Needs pics of Devil Summoner PRONTO! I'd prefer it being on PS2, but it wouldn't be the end of the world if it was a DS game either. Remember, there is a SMT rumored to be in the works for DS.

Yea I don't really care about the visuals much (though the PS2 games are pretty gorgeous). But it's more that after the modern press turn system introduced in SMT3 it's really really hard to play games with the old SMT battle system (at least for me). They just feel stale and lacking. So I'd rather have a new game with a further improved battle system than an 8 year old game.

Shhh. Don't warn him. It's best if he experiences the terror first hand. :lol

I haven't heard much good for the most part. Though my friend said Phantasy Star is ok.

Hey, one can hope for something decent with PD1 right? Right?

hm. hm. HMMMMM!
 
Dynamite Detectives (Dynamite Deka or Die Hard Arcade) was an ST-V game -- does this mean they have a Saturn to PS2 conversion system? :O

I keep seeing the arcade Dynamite Deka 2 for sale really cheap, but I really don't need another one of those monster-sized Model 2 boards in my house.

What makes you think it's a port? I'm sure it's an awful remake that ruins any appeal the game might have ever had... :p
 
new information

- Panzer Dragoon will have upgraded graphic (Famitsu has the interview with the staff)
- Dynamite Detective (Die Hard Arcade) and Advanced Taisenryaku Germany will have big chances
- others will be direct port


to be honest, I really hope Sega can remake PD1 & 2 to X360 / PS3 / Rev
rather than port to PS2 :(

edit: So it's not a port...woah. I bet they will be outsourced to college students and suck total balls and the original Saturn versions will have looked way better!

everytime i look at the Sega remakes that have been released so far on the 3dages label my balls itch like there are 50 million unfriendly crabs roaming on them....

In otherwords Panzer Dragoon will look like a 2nd generation PSX game with ass framerate, Dynamite Deka and Advanced Taisenryaku Germany will be complete half-assed shit that makes Sega fans cry, and the rest will be pretty decent but no one will give a shit because they're awfully dated.

THANKS SEGA! :lol

Not rumored, it was actually announced (Shin Megami Tensei DS). Most are expecting it to be a Devil Summoner port.

PSP | Gallery Freak

Probably Gallery Fake (given the anime's still running). Not that it makes any difference, because a game about forged art dealing doesn't exactly appeal much to me...
 
Very interesting. The lack of cell-shading and the time period/location makes it almost like a Megaten version of Shadow Hearts 2 disc2 :)

The only thing that seems hmmmm... is the battle system. From the pics it looks like maybe you can only summon 1 ally and you fight with just two people? That seems a bit limiting. Also where are the menus and stuff ^^; I hope it's not some simplified battle system. But I do trust R&D1, so it will probably end up being a good system.

Hot fucking shit

Oh my fucking god!

That is bloody awesome-looking. I do hope Victor and Miss Maid returns. :D

You've made me a happy man, Kaneko. Now just include a cameo by the Kuzunoha Detective Agency crew or the Spookies and your blank cheque will be in the mail. :)
 
Scott said:
So going by the trend, think it'll come over as "Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner"? :)

It better be. This should come before anything else they're thinking of picking up.

Has anything been mentioned about the PSP version of Persona or the DS version of SMT since they were originally announced? I really wouldn't mind them being ports/remakes of games in those series. That'll allow Persona 2 IS to finally come over and the 2 original SMT's (and possibly if).
