Atlus CEO teases unannounced titles

You mean like people portbegging Xcom 2 for the PS4 or the Dragons Dogma PC for next-gen? Lets not pretend this only happens with only one platform, and lets not pretend that PR making a gamefaqs level post is somewhat okay.

i think you forgot to mention every single undertale thread

Unannounced titles.

I doubt it'll happen but just throw the Trauma games on Steam.

i want the trauma games on mobile. perfect touchscreen games.

I don't understand how people's defense of his meme response is that he's making fun of Atlus HQ.

PR people really shit talk about their employers on a public forum? I highly doubt that.

We just had a thread with PS4 fans wanting Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm Collection ported to PS4 instead of PS3 (where those games are and make quick collections possible). Old ass Naruto games. "Port begging."

It happens.

The Tomb Raider steamthread got closed by the moderation after half the thread "begged" for the PS4 Version.

That's different tho, because they were not part of the evil pc neckbeard race.

There's probably some terrible looking western games you can dump on steam and no one will buy instead.

I'll be happy if we get something from Kaneko. Anything. Let him out of the basement.

Wait, what? It's coming to PS4 though. o_O

So we can expect this thread to get locked any second now? Or is it only when its console beggers? Just accept that port begging brings nothing to a thread and is annoying no matter who does it.

and yet mod warnings, a change to the OP, etc didn't stop the shitposting

Ahhhh, okay.

Anyways, someone posted Kartia earlier. I <3 you. I loved that game. I hope we see some new stuff or return to some old school IPs from Atlus. Would be cool. Outside of Persona 5, I'm tired of MegaTen/Persona.
 

ULTROS!

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.

A terrible western game with Kaneko as the main artist and monster designer.

Well, he should make a joke about how Atlus treats the EU. I'm sure that would go well ;)

Yeah it would. Atlus USA's own PR manager pointing out how incompetent the JP branch is with EU localizations would be really cool actually.

EDIT: PC ports of old Atlus titles (SMTI, II and if would be dreamy) would definitely be appreciated by me, Persona 5 too for those who can run it on PC. I'm all for PC support, but a jokes a joke.

Hoping for a new SMT spin off. I can't see V being announced since Final is on the way shortly. Something in the spirit of DDS or the Raidou games would be great, whether in handheld or console.

I'd also appreciate something pretty out there like Catherine. I do hope the games appear on either PS4/Vita amongst any other platforms though, I hate waiting for their European releases on 3DS.

More than anything I'd like some classic dark Atlus back. Not sure how likely that is, but it would be nice to go alongside what are comparitively light hearted games we see from them these days.

For you.

Except, you know, this thread is about unnannounced titles? You can literally speculate about anything here, including ports to every platform under the sun. Thats not the kind of portbegging that its frowned upon. Its frowed upon when derailing unrelated threads. Guess what, nobody has portbegged shit since the Atlus PR response , only people pointing out crappy behaviour for a PR.

I'm not even a PC gamer, but that post seemed like a real dick move to me. I know if a PR person posted something like that about the Vita for a game I was hoping would come to Vita, I'd be pretty pissed off.
 
It is getting rampant that every time a Japanese game will get announced, there are a number of posts that say "PC port plx". Shit is annoying already. As much as it is good that Japanese publishers are coming to Steam, it also brought bad things like many Western fans expect all Japanese games getting a PC port.

Exactly. Less than a page and there was already PC port begging.

Is Kaneko still at Atlus? I know he's credited in SMTIV but it feels like an eternity since I heard about him. It's pretty sad :(

So I guess it worked as intended. Also wouldn't really consider a port an unannounced title, at least I doubt that was what the Atlus CEO was trying to get people excited about.

The Adventure Time guys did exactly that and everyone piled on them. Seems its only not okay when its a PS platform.
 
NX port begging has already reached a meme on this forum. Vita port begging of P5 died a long time ago.
Unannounced games =/ port begging.


And yet, you had port begging for games already released/announced, for PS4, Vita and NX. On the very same page. And then again, you did the same too.

Now, you have to get my point. I'm not blaming you or saying this behaviour is okay because it's done by everyone. All I'm saying is that claiming that its exclusive or more rampant on one side is bullshit.

Atlus PR
ITT: We port beg, until an Atlus guy gives a clear answer, then we act outraged.

I don't know how much you know about the port begging culture Mr. Atlus PR guy but....

Clearly underestimating them.

Here's the deal:

1) It's a speculation thread, everyone is guessing.
2) Because of that, I can't say a damn thing or else it'll be all over the internet. "OMG! ATLUS PR CONFIRMED _____ IN THIS GAF THREAD" (I've fucked that up before, albeit a much less immediate way than GAF)
3) Like what's quoted above, the only thing I'm gonna confirm is what I know isn't true. (for now; I've fucked that up too.)
4) Yeah, I probably salted the wound w/ the Futurama image, but in a speculation thread, people are guessing ATLUS Japan's big secret is a PC version of a game from 3.5 years ago? Can you really blame me?
5) However, if you think that I'm just here to mock, I'm not. I don't ignore the considerate posts or even the shitposting when it comes to our titles. I've already asked internally about PC ports and some of the other platforms. Just to date, nothing I've asked about has ever worked out.

So yeah, joke about EU (we've been trying to improve, and I think if nothing else, we're at least more consistent than when I first started here) or joke about 2015 (&#9488;(&#12484;)&#9484;), but know this: I hope to hell I'm wrong about it, and that these games get ported to PC eventually. I will eat that crow with aplomb and eagerness if that time comes.

But right now, as it's been for the past ever, temper your expectations if you're wanting ATLUS-developed games on PC.

Apology Accepted.
 
And port begging for PS4. And for Vita. And for NX.

Speaking of the Naruto thread by the way:



http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=192010958&postcount=77

So, can we stop please stop this "community" war pointing at "X users" ? Everyone is in the same bag.

Nice try. UNS4, the sequel to those games is coming to PS4/XB1/PC next month so thats why one could expect a prequel collection to come as well, especially considering PS3 is in its twilight years.

Do you think thats the same as "P5 for PC/NX Atlus please"?

He's credited in SMT IV: Final too.

Edit: whoops wrong thread, could have swore I posted in an Atlus thread, not a port whining one.

What try ? You did the exact same thing lol. Sure it's the same: You ask for X game to be ported to X platform.

I think we should just stop arguing about either period.
We all want different things in different ways.

Begging for a game that isn't on the platform you want? Yes, it is absolutely the exact same. There's no difference.

To be somewhat fair, a PC port of a title can be such a magnitude shift that it's worth being very excited for the possibilities, no matter how old the game is. Take Dragon's Dogma with its upcoming PC port and its upgraded technical points. Or Disgaea 1 PC.

As exciting as a new game? Nope. But still pretty exciting!

Cool. Hopefully it's not because it reuses assets but because he's working on it for real! Hope increasing.

Kaneko did the scenario/drafts for SMT IV and I guess he's doing it again here? I'd really like to see him as creative director again.
