Tex Murphy's Persona 5
I backed this on Kickstarter, and the though of a publisher is kinda... ick.
But I think Atlus will be ok; this might be the company's test of the PC market. I would of been shitting bricks if EA/Activision/Ubisoft got this though.

Looks like Atlus will just be doing traditional publisher stuff so, yeah, I'm ok with this.

They've already been a presence on the PC market! They've published titles like Rock of Ages and Zeno Clash 2.
I'd rather have a Tex Murphy adventure based on Mean Streets and Martian Memorandum (classic third person adventure games) than what came after (3D first person adventure games with loads of FMV).
Also, Atlus have published some real crap on Steam in recent years. Just saying, they don't have the best track record on PC.

Hope Atlus's future owner doesn't nix this.
I doubt they would have gotten as much money on KS if they'd gone with that.
The FMV games are what Tex is remembered for, since they - and Under A Killing Moon in particular - were such great games.

Likewise. If ever-so-slightly confused by it. Atlus moving a bit outside their comfort zone!
As I've mentioned in other threads, it's important to distinguish the traditional publisher role (doing the busywork to get a game on shelves) from the modern one (funding and driving the games industry in a manner that maximises their profits). There's nothing wrong with the traditional publishing role, as such, the issue was simply the fact that we'd reached a situation where publishers dictated the vast majority of the direction of the industry, and that was ultimately limiting the scope of the industry (but allowing some very high-budget games to be developed!)
Publishers aren't inherently bad; they have skills the average coding team don't have, and leveraging those skills is a sensible use of resources.

Probably the first good western game they've targeted in a long time. FIne choice.
Also, some of the Atlus team backed it.
So long as Atlus has no influence on the game itself, this doesn't bother me too much. I hope the dev gets all of the money from digital sales, though. You know, considering that they already had a successful Greenlight campaign before Atlus did anything.
Correction: 3D first person adventure games with loads of FMV that are among the best adventure games around, unlike the lousy first two games.

Surprising. It sounds like this game might get attention. Hope Big Finish is up for the task.
What a weird opinion. That's like saying you'd rather have a Duke Nukem game based on the platformers.

As long as they don't fuck with the game I have no problems with this.
And finally they show some of the exploration mode. It won't win any awards for its graphics but as long as they keep it clean instead of smothering it in hideous "next gen" effects like motion blur and DOF they should be fine.

Knowing its fanbase, that would be genius.

Next up: a Point and click SMT adventure game.
Which i'm completely fine with as a spinoff.

Game is getting more funding and development time, too. It already looked impressive considering the budget based on screenshots and videos, so I can't wait to see the final product in 2014 after the additional polish.

So, bit of a bump, but it just occurred to me... I guess it's too soon to know whether or not Tex Murphy is a Sega game now?

The latest trailer that was posted on September 9tth makes it look quite good. It's the perfect mix of cheesy 90's FMV adventure in modern 1080p goodness:

Something like this really would have fit in well with Atlus's quirky portfolio. But it will be interesting to see if the publishing rights gets carried over to Sega, or will they drop it?
