Yuuuup.

Well, it's big surprise that people passed on buying it then. I was shocked at how lazy that sounded when I heard of it.

[PowderedToast]

fucking yes!!!!!

why not the original devil summoner too though!?!

[duckroll]

Was that the DS remake that had the main game on the bottom screen and had menus on the 3D screen?

3D menus are deep man. Deeeep. (lol)

[Hecatonchires Custom]

Awesome news. Really hoping we get a way to play Shin Megami Tensei If... in english one day.

[jj984jj]

OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG!

I said it before, but I've ALWAYS wanted to play this game! Will buy a 3DS when the inevitable localization happens for sure. Okada, wherever you are, this one will be for you!

[Big Papa Husker]

Atlus has localized all of their recent SMT titles, including both Persona 2 remakes on PSP. I don't really see why this one would be an exception...

Did Eternal Punishment actually get announced for the US?

[MechaX]

Well, with a hopeful Atlus localization, this and FE solidified a 3DS purchase from me somewhere down the line.

[Femmeworth]

You can play DS2 on the 3DS anyway. They're not going to spend a bunch of money to record full voices when the majority of fans have spoken out and voted with their wallet. No one wants Overclocked.

I want it. :(

[duckroll]

I want it. :(

To ensure that happens to the next thing you want a sequel to, you should buy 50,000 copies on your own. :P

[Midou]

I wanted to play this for a while, and I don't want to look a gift horse in the mouth, but I sure fucking wish Atlus would make some games instead of porting and enhancing older ones. I mean it's better than doing a recent game, but they have made like a single new console game all gen, and while it was awesome, it's still pretty short. PS2 had like, what, 7 SMTs?

Still day 1

[Nairume]

Awesome news. Really hoping we get a way to play Shin Megami Tensei If... in english one day.

A fan translation for that was just announced.

[Hero of Legend]

Overclocked would've really benefited from having both games in one cartridge, and it surely wouldn't have been a big one either, depends on the voicework's space requirements, hell they could always do that in the future maybe; remake the sequel, then do a two-pack.

Now was Soul Hackers a 2D title like Survivor? If so, I'll bet they go the Overclocked route. Still surprised they did something that lazy, unless the touch-screen was vital for gameplay? Kinda doubt it.

[Femmeworth]

Aspects of Overclocked were indeed lazy, but the good far outweighed the bad.

To ensure that happens to the next thing you want a sequel to, you should buy 50,000 copies on your own. :P

*cries*

[Busaiku]

But it sold out!

[Nairume]

Same thing as Etrian Odyssey, Strange Journey, and the old MegaTen games. 3D 1st person dungeons and first person 2d battles.

[dygiT]

Good shit.

[TurnipFritters]

Voice actors, if anyone cares:
Minako Kotobuki (Serah from FFXIII - I'm betting this is gonna be Hitomi)
Kazuya Nikai (Shinjiro from P3, Gilgamesh from FF games where he has a voice, Wakka from FFX - Probably Spooky)
Yuki Kaji (Hope from FFXIII - Probably Yu-ichi)
Daisuke Ono (Snow from FFXIII - Probably Six)
Chiwa Saito (Metis from P3Fes - Probably Nemissa)

[matmanx1]

Awesome news. I've never played this one but have always wanted to. I love the vibe and am a big fan of the SMT series. Bring it!

[Goli]

3D menus are deep man. Deeeep. (lol)

Actually, the menus weren't even in 3D, even if you actually turned 3D on since it's one of those games where it doesn't work (the little 3D icon on the top screen isn't lit green as it is when you can see something in 3D). The only times where I remember you being able to actually see things in 3D had you turned 3D on were on the crappy intro movie and during demon fusion.

[Aeana]

Part 2 of Cool Atlus Stuff finally announced. :)
I hope you guys all try this out. It's one of my favorite games.

[Dark Schala]

The choice is rather unexpected, but I'm happy. I love this game, and the music's pretty good, imo.

man fuck not another game i need to play. gaming industry needs to relax with these releases.

We need to take all of your other games away from you so you can finally get cracking on the Atelier games before another one is announced. :P

[Augemitbutter]

neat, who was expecting this? full VA as well? wow, i can't wait for that dual-language option!

i'm eager to hear what they'll do with the soundtrack. the original print is sought-after.

[Teknoman]

As long as they place the gameplay on the top screen. Need some 3D megaten.

[Femmeworth]

Widescreen > 3D

[neo2046]

good news ! :D

this is absolutely one of my top favorite JRPG

[shidoshi]

It's really weird, because while usually I'm all for having voice in RPGs, playing the bit of Overclocked that I did, I was rather turned off by the voices. It just felt so... so unnatural! But I've no idea why.

[flowsnake]

Wait, Strange Journey didn't ever come out in Europe? Ugh, that doesn't bode well for this. If I ever get a 3DS I'll probably be forced to get a US one.

[jj984jj]

Would it fit?

[Aeana]

Would it fit?

It wouldn't happen even if it did fit.

[Femmeworth]

The voice acting in Overclocked was great, for the most part. Spike Spencer was fantastic as Atsuro.

[Cactus]

Part 2 of Cool Atlus Stuff finally announced. :) I hope you guys all try this out. It's one of my favorite games.

Is it a sequel to the original Devil Summoner, or does it stand on its own?

Buying it regardless, just curious.

[Sophia]

On it's own. It's also one of the first games in which the current character designer (Shigenori Soejima) for the Person series worked on.

[Laughing Banana]

It's really weird, because while usually I'm all for having voice in RPGs, playing the bit of Overclocked that I did, I was rather turned off by the voices. It just felt so... so unnatural! But I've no idea why.

Maybe because when any of the characters spoke any other sound effects like music are getting dampened to really, really low levels? Well at least that's the reason for me though.

[TurnipFritters]

It's like Persona 2 to Persona 1: Some familiar folks will pop up, everything you need to know will be relayed to you, but it mostly stands alone.

[TheSeks]

I would, but no 3DS. Y U NO DS, ATLUS!?

Still, this is good news.

[Sophia]

Infact, given that it's Soejima. I wouldn't be surprised if he redrew all the art like the Persona 2 remakes. ><;

I would, but no 3DS. Y U NO DS, ATLUS!?

You will submit to our glorious 3D army. @_@

[Aeana]

I would, but no 3DS. Y U NO DS, ATLUS!? Still, this is good news.

You shouldn't expect many more substantial DS games.

[randomkid]

I would, but no 3DS. Y U NO DS, ATLUS!? Still, this is good news.

I mean, I don't have one either, but I figure by early 2013 I will.

[Femmeworth]

Hopefully they don't find a way to bastardize his artwork like in Persona 2.

[Seik]

You mean...it will be released in NA? In fucking english and everything???

If yes, I'm in, aaaaall in, oh yeah!

I had the Saturn version, I tried, I really really tried to like it without understanding anything but I just couldn't... If this is really what I think it is I'll buy it in a heartbeat!

[IrishNinja]

fuckin' nice!

so does this one play like the other DS titles then? ive only played 1 and a bit of 2, but it doesnt look like Raidou is in this.

[Aeana]

fuckin' nice! so does this one play like the other DS titles then? ive only played 1 and a bit of 2, but it doesnt look like Raidou is in this.

Not at all. It's much closer to the first Persona game than anything else, but even that's a bad comparison since it does quite a few things differently.

Completely different. The other DS titles are actually the third/fourth entry. This is closer to Strange Journey.

[randomkid]

I don't get it, I thought Soejima redrew his own art for the portraits in the PSP remakes.

[Aeana]

Actually, that's a good point, if only because GUMP is like the Demonica suit's predecessor.

[TurnipFritters]

Aeana, this is... this is not how you sell people on this game.

ah, i see - thanks guys, good to know what to expect here. off to check Aena's link.

*edit whoah this looks pretty cool too, i can see the p1 comparison. been a while since i got into some dungeon crawling like this!

[Hecatonchires Custom]

A fan translation for that was just announced.

I'd rather own an actual game instead of playing a translated rom. Plus those translations usually suck or are way too literal.
