Hopefully Sony buys them. MS would be okay too, but without a handheld console it wouldn't make much sense. I really want to see Persona 5 on strong hardware, so I pray Nintendo doesn't ruin it for me.
No, if anything, things should be going as usual until everything is done.
They've stated that the development of all previously announced titles of theirs will continue.
As for unannounced, aka Persona 5, I dunno. Did Saints Row 4's development continue during the THQ madness?
I would think the show must go on. Back when Disney purchased Lucasfilm, apparently everyone just kept on working until Disney decided what they would do with the parts.
I don't know how factual that figure is, but I know their debt is definitely non-trivial.
And, second:
Take a look at Atlus's IPs. Are they worth $15M?

C'mon Sega buy them, Sega parent company Sammy is rolling in cash, and Sega recently bought a THQ studio at auction, so maybe they will buy this too.
Okay, then I feel a bit better about this. Still potentially scary for what will come after all current projects are finished, but I'm glad it's business as usual for now.
Persona isn't the type of game that benefits greatly from strong hardware. And atlus really isn't the type of developer to put in the extra effort to make it look pretty. See: SMT IV, P4GHopefully Sony buys them. MS would be okay too, but without a handheld console it wouldn't make much sense.

Don't even joke about that...

Altus didn't, SOA picked up and published Lunacy. Atlus USA was planning to publish Steamgear Mash, Revelations: Devil Summoner and Lunacy before they killed Saturn publishing.If Atlus USA killed their Saturn plans in 1996, why did they release Lunacy in the US in 1997?
But yeah, it was odd how they started with Revelations, and then changed the name.
I wonder if sony will buy them?

Persona and Shin Megami Tensei definitely could benefit from stronger hardware, but I don't think even current Atlus has shown any willingness to jump to it and raise their budget accordingly. There hasn't even been a PS3 Persona yet, why are people in this thread apparently so sure we're going to see a PS4 Persona ahead of that?
P5 would be fine on current gen consoles and Wii u however if it ends up on 3DS I would be disappointed.
Someone tell Yoshida! Sony, what are you waiting for?! Save them!
Start a Twitter movement, GAF. #SonySaveAtlas
I was going to say this. Would be quite something if it takes off. I'm sure Sony has already thought about this, along with other potential buyers.
People wanting Sony to buy Atlus makes me sad. I'd PREFER Nintendo, because FE X SMT piqued my interest but ideally neither of them.

Ideally neither- but hell, at this point one of them...
^At this point? They're not in a dead end situation where those are probable or favorable solutions.
Let's go Nintendo!
I want Jack Frost in Smash Bros
Also Fire Emblem x SMT = close partnership already???
Yeah, I'm totally fine with Nintendo buying them if P5 ends on WiiU, but if they make Persona a 3DS series then fuck Nintendo.
It's all a numbers game now. If it was a hardware publisher, I'd prefer Sony, just because I like the Vita more. And personally, it makes sense as a good way to kickstart Vita talk in Japan.
But, it's most likely going to be someone nobody's heard of, like the first time Atlus was bought.

catherine looks fantastic and it has a lot of visual similarities to persona. it would definitely benefit from better hardware. i wouldn't compare it to p4g when that game was just a port of a ps2 game.
Oh, we're back to begging for platform holders to buy Atlus now? OK then.

As I said earlier though, I'm not picky about who buys Atlus, just as long as they're able to keep making great games.
People suggesting Nintendo are stupid or trolls. Yes, Nintendo has a history of publishing M rated games about the occult and post apocalypse. As for Sony, that would limit Atlus selling games on Nintendo handheld which is bad for business.
I'm really hoping for Sega Sammy to swoop in and save the day.
I must be the only person in this thread not to care about FE x SMT.
Is this thread really 1 page of news and 17 pages of people begging company X to buy Atlus?
