To be honest, I enjoyed the scheduling to an extent. The only parts that frustrated me were the exam days where they would ONLY let you take the tests and then move on to the next day.

Either way I still want Atlus to make the generation leap, if they don't I won't see
any current gen SMT games for at least another 2 years =(

Fuck Persona 5. Give me an incredibly dark and philosophical SMT4.

Goddamn, people. Atlus is not going to announce Shin Megami Tensei 4 when they've got Strange Journey in development, especially since Strange Journey is being made by just about all of the people one would expect would be tapped to make a potential SMT4. And it's extremely unlikely they're going to be releasing a game called SMT4 any time soon after Strange Journey, either.

Except SMT: Strange Journey is NOT SMT4 and therefore I am mad. =[ It looks good, though... somewhat.

Strange Journey will be good, of that I'm sure.
ZephyrFate said:
It's made by most of the key people from the earlier games including the concept designer, artist, musician, and writer. It has an apocalyptic scenario. It features pretty much all of the defining gameplay elements of SMT3, while evolving a number of them, introducing new gameplay systems, and bringing back stuff that had been ditched in the transition from SMT2 --> SMT3. It has a bunch of new demons, totaling up to more than any other game. And Atlus says the project has a greater scale than any prior SMT game.
So, I dunno! May not have the name "SMT4" but it sure seems to align pretty closely with what one would expect from SMT4. Regardless of what you want to think of it as, though, and regardless of what it's called, Atlus isn't going to be releasing another SMT game, this one called Shin Megami Tensei 4, any time soon. So suck it up and stop whining.

Eh, those all sounds wonderful and all very bullet points esque. I'll believe it when I see it.
TheChillyAcademic said:
I could point out that the only questionable marketing bullet-pointish item I noted was the last statement, in which Atlus made a grandiose claim about the game's scope, and that everything else is purely factual (we know who's working on the game; we know which SMT3 systems are returning; we know which SMT1/SMT2 elements are returning; we know some of the systems being evolved; we know how many demons they're using; we know the game features an apocalyptic scenario and player choice consequences).
I could also point out that unlike companies like Namco or Square, Atlus doesn't really have any sort of history whatsoever of lying to its fans about its core franchises. And I could point out that Atlus Japan also doesn't have much of a history of abusing or milking the Shin Megami Tensei name, and that this is the first game to have it since Nocturne came out.
But I don't think I'll point out those things. Instead, I'll just amuse myself with the angst some people seem to be feeling over the game's existence. It's kind of like DQ9 all over again.

If Shane was the main character of a Persona game I would buy it day one if all it had was him shouting "PERSONA", shooting himself in the head, and having a giant PS3 appear behind him to destroy random groups of monsters. GOTF

It's a first person RPG, in 2009. Bleh.

Why hello there welcome to traditional SMTTHE Caffeinated said:
Btw, as far as I know, Strange Journey is NOT an apocalyptic scenario, and therefore not entirely canonical plotwise with the main SMT games.
That is, of course, until some more plot info leaks and I'm thoroughly blown away. I'm still waiting for that. Regardless, I want to play Strange Journey.

This is why we can't have nice things, people actually defend a first person RPG in 2009.
More power to you I guess.

It's cool; you're not well-versed in the series whatsoever and are just talking shit.THE Caffeinated said:

I really don't see why people have a problem with it, it's not like a game becomes less fun because it's in first person. If a first person game is unfun it probably has more to do with a poor design decision than the POV.THE Caffeinated said:
I even think it's ideal for RPGs that don't use an overhead camera on the analog-less DS, it's not like we want a bunch of games with a camera like the one in Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker.

I'm curious, are there any main programmers and other staff at Atlus who worked on the PS2 games but haven't worked on the DS ones? While Strange Journey obviously has the creative team's attention, it doesn't mean Atlus isn't working on a new engine for consoles.
I rather doubt that since the current gen might prove to be a long one.duckroll said:
Nobody said they weren't working on a console game, but it's looking more and more likely that they're working on Persona 5 instead of SMTIV. Katsura Hashino was the director of Nocturne, DDS, and Persona 3/4 and he's probably leading their first HD effort.ninj4junpei said:

Atlus' long-ago announcement of an SMT game on next-gen consoles still lingers, and proves that we'll get something to the tune of SMT4 before this gen dies out.

Well, that certainly would make since for them to start off current gen consoles with a Persona game given its popularity.jj984jj said:

If Persona 5 returns to what made Persona 2 so great (its dark and edgy plot and great characters), instead of being just another dating-sim/dungeon crawler, then I'll buy it day one.
However, I don't think that's going to happen whatsoever.

There's an article from a few years ago that talks about them working on a next-gen title. Nothing new yet, but going off of what was pointed out earlier -- Atlus doesn't lie to its fans.
duckroll said:
More or less, yeah. I mean, we might get another new Shin Megami Tensei game in, like, four or five more years or whatever, but for the current timeframe, I anticipate Strange Journey to be it. And I'm not hugely bothered by that given how quality it looks. And really, the thing is... other than having a numeral attached and being HD, I'm not sure what exactly it is that would define a potential SMT4 that we're not getting in SJ. So I don't see what the big deal is.

I don't know about you, but things were looking pretty bad for Tokyo in that television news footage in the story trailer... but aside from that, well, the more you know:

It's not like they're exactly rare. People loved Fallout 3. I guess if you put a gun in the character's hand then it's all okay?

Atlus has made no such announcements.

If you're going to call me wrong, you might want to actually read through the article you're linking and the responses you've already been given... That article doesn't say anything other than what Shintoki pointed out, which is:
shintoki said:
Atlus has not announced a Shin Megami Tensei game for the PS3. Atlus has not said anything about such a game. Sony put something like that on a list of PS3 games before the PS3 launched. The Famitsu article that GameSpot is referencing didn't do anything other than reprint the Sony list.
Atlus didn't announce anything. And obviously, given that this list came out in 2005, Atlus wasn't working on the PS3 at that time, either, in any concrete sense -- which is why Persona 3, Persona 3 Fes, Persona 4, and Kuzunoha Raidou 2 were all released, subsequent to this Sony list of games, on the PS2. Maybe back in 2005 Atlus had the intention of eventually launching with a SMT game when they picked up HD development, but also subsequent to that Sony announcement, the Persona series became super popular and as current news leaks are indicating, it's Persona 5 they're developing for the PS3, not SMT4. So I don't really know what to tell you. The only SMT game being made right now is Strange Journey, and it's the only one likely to come out any time soon.

this all sounds well and good, but... why on a portable platform? I would rather it be on PS2 than on the DS. I mean, I have a DS, and I will buy it day 1, but the problem I have with Devil Survivor is that I never play my handhelds, so it's not getting much attention. I don't know, I'm just worried I won't enjoy it as much... we'll see
