Shin Megami Tensei HD news coming on October 23
- Thread starter DKHF
- Start date
I think it is timed exclusive. I doubt Sony would like to see a game that is being launched simultaneously being announced just for the Switch.

Yeah, you are probably right. I wonder if the will have a paid stream again.
I agree.
Nintendo is getting Persona games. Sony is not getting SMT games.

I think the idea is nothing from the big 3rd party games ( Dragon Quest Monster Hunter Final Fantasy etc)are no longer exclusive anymore. So this game must not be either. Though I'm not sure if I would call SMT a big 3rd party game.
I assume too. But I think people expecting as much have to live with the fact that are huge chances that the game is exclusive or timed exclusive. Specially for the fact I stated above.
Because for almost everyone now TGS is just an after thought. It's a nothing event.
The next SMT game is on Sony Xperia and not on Nintendo anything.
There are quite a few Japanese franchises bigger than SMT that are Sony exclusive.
I wouldn't say a huge chance but the fact that Octopath is exclusive and is getting a big push from Nintendo makes me think they might have a similar deal in place for this game too. They were presented back to back in January.

Well, when you are thinking it this way... you are right.
OTOH if Nintendo were helping to market the game it would have showed up on Directs instead of Atlus' own streams. Even Octopath was revealed on a Direct before TGS, and the demo survey was handled by NIntendo. As far as we can see so far, this is completely an Atlus game. It showed up in Jan as a teaser and that's about all.
Even mobile devs who have made it big no longer care about TGS. Did you know Cygames didn't even attend TGS this year? They have their own annual festivals to cater to their fans now. Same with Level5. I don't think Gungho had much of a presence either. TGS is where you go to network and show off some existing products. It's hardly a big deal event for anyone anymore. Hasn't been for years.

Why most people want remake for Nocturne? To me both game's visual and gameplay holds really well. All I need is remaster so I can play it on my PS4.
Unless Nintendo pays for it, they won't ignore the platform where their best selling game to date is currently on.

Not too surprising, since it was expected there'll be more during the concert, happening on the same day 
Same thing happened with Persona after all.
And yeah, it'll absolutely be V imo, considering it was an anniversary reveal.
edit:
You mean the 3DS where it has the best selling SMT game to date? They handle all their franchises differently, for better and worse.

Will they use their P5 ps3 engine?

I would say that SMT HD Project has a likely chance of being multiplat with PS4, but the series and non-persona spin offs being groomed on 3DS and its initial reveal being a Nintendo Switch related thing, it will continue to keep the brand association.

It's Unreal Engine 4 based.

Omg, so far away, but yeeeeeessssss!
The SMT brand in Japan is only ever used specifically for mainline games, so this will be either V, a remake, or a "spinoff" in the vein of Strange Journey... Which let's be honest, it's a mainline game in everything but name.
Then again liberation exists, so spinoff can get a bit crazier now, I guess.

I think he is talking about Atlus in general. Persona 5 is the best selling game of Atlus.
Oh right I forgot about that. It would make little sense for their first HD SMT game to be anything other than a mainline title, just like Nocturne was their first fully 3D game which was then followed by a bunch of weirder stuff.

That's better than the situation Playstation is in right now with SMT games.

I got to admit that I will be puzzled if this will be a Switch exclusive. It is weird that they wouldn't take the opportunity to release on PS4, considering it should be easier considering its UE4 based and going to a more powerful platform.
Of course this is Atlus so irrationality is to be expected. I am also puzzled that they don't port P5 (and P4G) to the Switch and don't port anything to PC.
I will get the game in either case whenever Atlus decides to grace us with its release in the West (or may import) but it is rather weird. I also really hope that we don't have to wait till 2019 for localization but that's probably futile.

SMT IV is the reason I bought a 3DS so it makes sense this will probably be what makes me buy a Switch.

Excited to see what the news is. I don't have a Switch, but it's not a huge deal to me if this ends up being exclusive. I'll just get a Switch and enjoy all of the other Switch games I would have missed out on.
How many games do Cygames have in the pipeline, though?

That was because they could still make cheap sd games with Ps2-tier assets on 3ds. Now that even Nintendo handhelds have joined hd world every former third party exclusive is becoming or will become multi. Welcome to 2006.
But at least good now a good chunk of stuff is going to be able to be ported on Switch too.

PS4/Switch is my bet, hell this being Atlus it could also be coming to PS3
Switch/Vita/Mobile
Mobile:
- Lost Order
- Princess Connect Re
ive- Umamusume Pretty Derby
PS4:
- Granblue Fantasy PS4
- Untitled Project Awakening
- ZoE2 Mars
Ongoing Updates:
- Shadowverse
- Granblue Fantasy
If they wanted to have a booth they would certainly have more than enough content for it. Two Platinum Games titles? One directed by Matsuno? Anime crossmedia mobile projects? A ZoE2 remaster with VR? Two of the most popular browser/mobile titles with ongoing updates and a CCS anime tie-in event coming to Granblue soon?
Cygames doesn't need TGS because TGS smells.

Can't wait to see more of this game. Hopefully the next information they release is somewhat substantial.

Dumb question, but Persona isn't SMT is it?
I still want 3&4 HD Atlus!!
But I'll take any other HD to support you so we can eventually get it.
