Support NeoGAF

[Danjin44]

All of them, except the Switch, IIRC.

Edit: beaten lol. I wonder why? Maybe they had a bad experience coding SMT V for the Switch?

To be fair SMTV is biggest game Atlus ever made in sense of scale.

Yeah! And while it wasn't perfect I liked the result, didn't thought the Switch could handle such large and cool scenarios without turning everything into a blur.

I wonder if SH2 will get a later Switch port. Would be weird to left it behind after all the support they gave to the 3DS.

It might eventually come to Switch like Catherine did. That game also came both on Playstation and Xbox but not on Nintendo system.

Also, is this Unreal Engine 4?

Hell no. Looks like the Persona engine.

 

[Quantum253]

Looks good. I enjoyed Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers. Atlus and the overall SMT series are one of those things you have to buy or you'll be paying a ton for it later. For example, I have a couple of NIB P4:Golden solid gold editions (bought for people who changed minds or didn't pay so I kept) and I think they go for around $600/$700 a piece. I don't have the time to put into a SMT game, but I'll probably pre order to to play later and skip the high markup. Or can we say that SMT games rapidly appreciate in value so get it when it's released.

Man this looks terrible. You know Sega is slipping when the last three Atlus games worth playing came out on Vita.

???? I dont know about you but I personally fucking loved SMTV and 13 Sentinels.

Animations are good enough for a RPG, as far as I am concerned. I prefer having this with a clean picture than the blurry mess SMTV was.

 

[Pejo]

Diet Hazama seems like a fun character. I'm in for this game, good or bad. Shame that it doesn't look like his friend/gf is playable, I like her design more than some of the others.

 

[GeekyDad]

Looks decent

Style/art-wise, yeah, that's about the best I'd say. Sure it will be a great, little game, and the story and content look grim and fairly deep. But they went a wee bit too far with that style. Crossed a line into silliness for my taste. Doesn't quite match the gruesome nature of the stuff they show at the beginning of that video.

Soul Hackers 2 will be the first Xbox physical game in 11 years.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

I'm always in for some Soul Hackers. So glad they brought this spinoff back.

 

[Danjin44]

I hope Xbox players support this game so they get even more Atlus games on Xbox, heck we could see Persona 6 come out on Xbox day one.

 

[Darkmakaimura]

I bought my first Shin Megami Tensei game, Shin Megami Tensei V, and have been playing it and I like it.

But I know it's a little bit different from previous Shin Megami Tensei games.

I'm sure Soul hackers will be quite a bit different then SMT 5 but I would look forward to it if I could play it.

 

[Danjin44]

looking really good!

 

[Pejo]

looking really good!

Man I have no idea what to expect with the story thanks to the random lines from the trailer, but it does look good. Non-cutscene animations look a bit stiff, but that's just the way it's going to be. I'm really excited for this.

 

[Sub_Level]

Really like most of the character designs. And yeah the animation is poor but we need more mid-budget games like this.

Just like most JRPG you going have neutral animation for most cutscenes and high quality animation and cIntermatic cutscenes for more important story moments.

These games are long, its going be very costly and time consuming if every cutscenes was high quality.

I wasn't even talking about cutscenes. In a post-Genshin Impact world, it's hard to go back to running and attack animations that look super stiff. There's no momentum in any of the movement, and it gives it a "cheap" feel. Not enough to ruin a game for me, for sure, but it's something I definitely notice now. I fully realize that comparing a AA Atlus game to a multi-billion dollar service games is stupid, but I'm just talking from an animation standpoint.

The turn based combat looks neat and it looks unique aesthetically

“I wish developers would make more AA games so we had more to play and didn’t have to wait 5 years all the time for games.” - NeoGaf

(Developer with great track record shows AA game that looks fun and deep)

“These graphics suck. I’ll pick it up at a discount, maybe, if reviews look good.” - NeoGaf

 

[Danjin44]

Still can't get over the lame character design.

I personally fan of Shirow Miwa’s artstyle.

 

[YukiOnna]

I really hope this does well so they can also bring back Raidou since that's also Devil Summoner. No idea what's been going on with him.

ATLUS West is crazy charging $200 for that CE though.

 

[Orbital2060]

Cant wait to play this

 

[Labadal]

I mostly dislike the design of the main character, however, I am likely to pick the game up either way.

[Petopia]

I really hope this becomes the next Persona 5 like phenomenon, as it seems really well made and stylish in its own way.

If it's anything like the last game it'll be more like smt than persona.

Not really sold on the dub, will need to decide when I have the game if I go dub or undub.

Ringo a cute in any language tho.

I personally most likely play this in Japanese voice. It’s less to do with quality of the dub and more to do with its setting, it was same for me with 13 Sentinels.

I felt Japanese voice was more natural for the setting.

Understandable. It's weird playing a Tokyo-based game in anything but japanese.

I mean when Final Fantasy XVI comes out I most likely play that game with English voice because even tho its a Japanese game, its setting is not really Japanese.

The average english dub enjoyer

Joking aside, Atlus english dubs are good, mostly.

30 minutes Japanese gamepeplay. Looks to have similar structure to the Digimon Cybersleuth games.

The Soul Hackers footage doesn't start til around 2:10 in the video, just in case any of you are confused.

Not sure about Sabbath, I can already see myself missing classic Press Turn.

You mostly see proper Press Turn in mainline SMT games, even Strange Journey didn't have Press Turn, it had alignment co-op attacks.

 

[Chukhopops]

Yeah, it still looks like a poor man's Persona
