The debugkits are cheaper now... that would be tonz of funFafalada said:The presentations are quite neat - makes me want one of those DebugKits that can run Phyre even more to play with.
(The hurdle its to become a licensed dev)

Wikipedia also lists the following Japanese devs who are developing games using this engine:
Nippon Ichi: Disgaea 4
Falcom: PS3 Action rpg (untitled)
Item: Steambot Chronicles 2
Atlus: 2 titles and one of them is a Shin Megami Tensei
Compile Heart: Super Dimensional Game Neptune
Gust: Atelier Totori and Mana Khemia 3
No idea where they got this info from though, so take it with a grain of salt.

Guess this means most of Atlus' next gen outings will be PS3 exclusive?

Engine is easily portable to other platforms.
I hate to be a wet blanket, but I'll point out that PhyreEngine now runs on PSP, as well, so that list may not be all PS3 games.

I'm not denying that but if Sony is the one announcing it, I assume there would be some kind of contract in place.
cosmicblizzard said:
Sony lets you do pretty much whatever you want with it. Porting PhyreEngine is no problem under the license. Indeed, our studio has already released multiple PhyreEngine based games on non Sony platforms, and Sony has "announced" our studio as a user of PhyreEngine in the past too and we have never been bound to exclusivity.

Ah. Well then I stand corrected.

Hopefully this means SMT HD. Or Persona HD.
Do it, Atlus!
Do it, Atlus!

Well, because N1 stated themselves that Disgaea 4 is a PS3 title.
Gust's main output this gen has been on PS3.
In fact, every Japanese developed title which used this engine in the past ended up being PS3 exclusive. Things could change of course, but it's highly likely it'll be the same for Mana Khemia 3 and Disgaea 4 considering the devs and their platform focus this gen.

PS3 is really starting to flex its graphical power that alot of us didnt think would ever happen. As much as a 360 fan as i am.. i must admit that im glad i kept my ps3 because some of these 1st and 2nd party developers are starting to take advantage of the CELL helping out in the visual dept alot more then i had thought. Some of these ps3 games in recent times really shine graphically.. Im not too sure of 360 dev's will yield the same kind of results since the CELL is very very much capable of rendering a game on its own..add that to the RSX and we are now seeing some stunning games visually on the ps3.
Well my ps3 is not near me right now..i let a friend borrow it for a month since he has a broken leg and cant afford a console right now.. but i'll have my ps3 back in a month or so.. and i been doing alot of reading on developers thoughts in recent times on the evolution the ps3's graphics are taking..im quite impressed.
I know one thing.. im really noticing a difference in graphics on ps3 compared to 360.. not so much as "better" but ps3 developed games have a unique look to them...its hard to explain but to me it seems like they have a high quality aspect about them.. i cant explain it in words but i always know when im looking at a ps3 game developed specifically for its hardware..every time i notice it easily. Again..not saying its because they are loads better then exclusive 360 games..they just seem to have a distinct look to them. Im really hoping these developers start utilizing that new AA technique that are getting on ps3 by using one of the spe's.. there is a thread in here about it..cant remember what the title of the thread was but i was just totally impressed at how they are just now using a new way to clean up the notorious jaggies the ps3 seems to have in past games.. so if they can clean up them jaggies with this new technique used for AA.. ps3 games have alot of room left to improve visually.

I'll repeat myself for those that don't read posts: Persona 5 has been confirmed already.
aryanr said:
Remade certainly not, but there is a chance we'll see an Ico and SotC HD Collection just like it happened with the God of War Collection. Ueda confirmed a few months back that he would be discussing that possibility with Sony.
And again, PERSONA 5 HAS BEEN CONFIRMED ALREADY.

I thought something similar before, only in relation to multiplatform games. PS3 versions somehow just seemed more... solid to my eye. But that was just an illusion, once you'd put them side to side with their respective 360 versions, it would be dispelled - in most cases 360 versions actually look noticeably better. Maybe it has something to do with quincunx AA, the way it softens the image. It has a pleasing effect at first, but when you compare it to a sharper image with less detail masked by soft blur - yeah, not so much.
As for whether the PS3 actually has more processing power than the 360... I'd rather not open up that can of worms. Let's just say they both have their strengths and weaknesses. Processing power aside, I think PS3 exclusives really benefit from the inclusion of a hard drive in every system.

News like this make it very hard not to be anticipated by the PS4 console. I think they've hit a sweetspot on the hardware. Now it's just doing it better and with better software. They've learned alot during this gen and the next gen is where they'll prove that.

Sorry for the late response. Nope, they didn't say anything but we can make some informed speculation:
1) we know Atlus has been confirmed as an official Home supporter since at least last year's TGS
2) we know that Atlus has been hiring 360 and PS3 developers for the last couple of years at least
This means that they are certainly getting into the HD console market at some point. The 360 will be 5 years old this Fall and the PS3 4 years. This is a pretty good time to finaly anounce something to the HD consoles.
Also the first Atlus game for the PS2 was released 4 years after the PS2 was launched (if I remember correctly in 2004). So I guess a new game, like Persona 5, announced this TGS or early next year is a real possibility and certainly not later than TGS 2011 for a release in Fall 2011 in Japan. I don't believe for a second it will take more than that for an HD Atlus game to come out.
My bet goes to Persona 5 (if that is an HD project and if there is nothing else coming along in the meanwhile) beying either a 360/PS3 multiplat game or a PS3 exclusive. I don't believe for a moment it's a 360 exclusive.

There have been no (zero) main atelier games that were released on a non-home console sony systems before other systems to date...since mk1 and 2 were of the Axx designation, there's no reason to believe mk3 would be any different than a mainline entry at this point, and unless they changed their business plan significantly, also no significant reason to believe MK3 would be a multi or other console release regardless of whether the engine's portable or not.

GOW3 has great tech but it's also how they use it. It's smart design, good art direction, spending detail on areas that your eyes are drawn to, re-using textures cleverly so you don't see tiling etc. Just like all good studios on any platform.
I mean it's an obvious point, but the GOW3 engine doesn't magically make any game look good. I am glad they focused so much on image quality though. IQ and stable, smooth framerate should ALWAYS be #1 priority IMO. Without those two, games will look like crap no matter how great the models, textures, animations, lighting and general art direction are. Case in point at the moment is Enslaved IMO. It would look fantastic if the IQ didn't kill it. The aliasing is horrendous. Hopefully they will have fixed that by release.
