Vague disappointment. Was really hoping for Raidou 2.
I guess it means some people will get to play Nocturne who haven't done before. It's a great game.

Practically, it is. It means you can actually play it with little effort involved, as opposed to say SMT IV.

Woop woop!
Hmm...I guess that's nice. Would have hoped for something I don't already own.

There should be another game unless we have been misled.

Misled by Atlus? Never.
Great news on Nocturne, been wanting that over any other of the PS2 titles.

You're disappointed that Atlus' greatest game is on PSN?
PS3-only.
I believe he's disappointed on a personal level, not on a quality level.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm playing the boss battle theme on repeat in excitement.

Yes, because I have Nocturne and I have finished it.
I have not got Raidou 2 and have not finished it (Or even played it).
Also Persona 3 and 4 are better than Nocturne, come at me bro.
Correct! I love Nocturne, but like I say, I already own it. Also the battle theme is better than boss theme so blah.
The only English mainline game I've yet to play.
Hopefully Nocturne is more fun than boring IV.
That depends what you disliked about 4. Nocturne is very, very heavy on gameplay and very minimal on story. And I think SMT4 used an adapted version of Nocturne's combat system?
Nocturne looks significantly prettier and sounds significantly better though.

My biggest complaint is that IV's difficulty lowered as you went through. Early mid-game I was one shotting everything and the only challenge came from bosses.
At first it was cool seeing myself overpowered, but after an hour or two the coolness wore off.
Nah, that's not a problem with Nocturne. It's a reasonably challenging game.

You probably won't like it then especially if you're going through the Labryinth of Amala at decent pace with the main story. Even playing at the highest difficulty, you'll have a setup that can pretty much demolish any non-boss character. Only difference is that SMT III doesn't allow you to pick and choose inheritance skills so you'll be backing out and redoing fusions to get the skills you want.

Oh nice, guess Ill be picking something else up when its released.
Seems like the CAPCOM thing to do.

Nocturne is one of my favourite RPGs, but I just replayed it on PS2 6 months ago!
A whole new wave of people will be able to enjoy the thrill of backing in and out of menus to get their perfect team with pierce of every party member.

I need to set up a US PSN account already.
You really should. It's really worthwhile, particularly now it's so easy to get PSN vouchers digitally.
Would be kind of cool if it was both Nocturne and Digital Devil Saga...

I'll buy a PSN card ASAP if it's Nocturne, even if I've finished it several times already.

I would have preferred DDS, but I don't own Nocturne either, so great news.
everybody please buy this so maybe we get DDS 1/2

Aw disappointing
Portable Nocturne would have made me buy a Vita.
Have we had any games yet that allow for a PS2 title to be played on the PSV? And remote play doesnt count of course.
It's a lot tougher than DDS, I thought. Though that may be because I played through DDS after I'd finished Nocturne, so I was more familiar with the systems.
The director of Nocturne and DDS1 also did Persona 3 and 4, so there are a lot of similarities.
Nocturne is almost entirely dungeon crawling though. The story is very minimal. This applies to DDS too, though to a lesser extent. Neither game has even a fraction of the story content that Persona 3 and 4 have.

Never coming to EU PSN, right?
Ask Ghostlight. They tried to get DDS on PSN, so there might be some interest to release the European version.
