Dunno but you might as well wait. It's the same game plus extras. It'll be the superior version.

I wonder if the reviews will be as glowing for this one.

I'll bend over and take it once I get a 3DS. No harm in replaying the best portable RPG ever made, I guess.

I'm sorry! I loved Devil Survivor on the DS, but with the region lock on 3DS I won't be able to love this right away, so I can't help it but feel a bit disappointed that I'll have a game sitting there doing nothing for who knows how long (while there wouldn't be such a problem with Catherine >.>)! XD

I think my opinion on the 3DS version will hinge upon 2 voices. Naoya needs to sound like crazy and Nikaido needs to sound like a douche (genuine).

i don't think aynthing is worse than that one unmappable dungeon with its conveyor belts. the story and characters are also very boring. the abundance of unintersting text is almost golden sun one level.

Cool I guess
Augemitbutter said:
What does it matter if it is unmappable? There's only, like, 3 or 4 parts on the floor that have conveyor belts with destinations that are not immediately 100% clear, and by that point you can have crippled the encounter rate so the floor doesn't take much time at all.
I'm not hating on Devil Survivor here as I got some enjoyment out of it. But let's not pretend that this remake won't have the same fairly boring maps and tons of recycled sprites. The story and characters were very cool and I appreciated the darker tone of the story but several aspects of the game felt "low budget" and I doubt that this remake is going to completely remedy that.
Just musing aloud but I wonder why they chose Devil Survivor over Strange Journey? Anyway, at $30 or less it might be worth a double dip.

that was only a small example. most dungeons from there on were bland and boring and there was no new music at all, they kept reusing the same music from previous dungeons. also don't forget the fact that you'll be too weak to beat the boss if you skip too many battles, it is a necessity to fight as much as possible.
easily the worst SMT experience i've had in years.

I still haven't beat the original.
I will keep an eye on this to see if it's worth purchasing.

Who am I kidding? I'm going to buy it. Atlus always has my support
The font looks so, so much nicer than what Atlus used for their DS games.
What would make me really interested in the game would be the addition of any additional scenes to the first 7 days, or an increase to the game speed (Strange Journey's battles were way faster than the FP part of Devil Survivor, and EO3 had an increase in speed over its predecessors due to the NoWait option).
As it stands now with the revealed content, merely having Day 8, remastered graphics, and voice seems like a less meaningful upgrade than FES, Maniacs, P3P, or even P1P.

O damnit, I thought overclocked meant it was an HD collection of some sort. argh. Well whenever I get a 3DS someitme in the next 5 years, i guess i'll pick this up.
You know I hope the "Shin Megami Tensei" brand doesn't just only apply to this. I think they should port/remake all of the mainline SMT games using the Etrian Odyssey engine + SMTIII port + Strange Journey port/remake. SMT1, SMT2, and SMTif... really do need updates and this could be an easy way to get them to the US.

Not buying a 3ds anytime soon, but still fascinating. Is this dub VA, I wonder?
Let's just hope this is the start. Save the big guns for last.
