"What ever happened to the Shin Megami Tensei PS3 title, any rumblings from Atlus Japan at all or did they get eaten by demons?

AJ: Sadly, this too is just a rumor, but it would certainly be an exciting development. And it would certainly make me feel better about the answer to the first question in this interview."

But... it was announced.

I mean this guy is just from the American division right?

I mean Sony announced it in 05.

How can it go from "announced game" to "rumor".

I always thought it was just rumored.

Maybe the announcement was wrong or mistranslated here, but Sony has that title listed. I have no freaking clue on what to think of it anymore. It's been more than 3 years. Money is probably the issue. They did make like 3 MegaTen games on the PS2 after that "announcement."

Yeah... and the announcement happened back when we thought the PS3 was going to kick ass. (Sales wise.)

Which is why I think it was canceled... the assets are probably just in the company database incase they ever decide to go back to it.

 

Sony did say they have at least 2 un anounced exclusive RPGs to anounce this year. There is a strong chance that one of them might be SMT game. I hope So.

 

But it was announced.

I'd put the odds at unlikely at best.

Despite rave reveiws the game still isn't the biggest seller.  Nor have they ever been the most impressive technically.... and for whatever reason all anybody focus on review wise when it comes to PS360 is graphics.   If the graphics suck, goodbye review scores.

Really atlus is in a tough spot.

I think you are exaggerating. Sometimes you seem so anti-HD that I wonder why you bothered getting a ps3. Valkyria Chronicles didn't have the best graphics out there (just excellent art style) yet it was rated generously by most reviewers. Even GTAIV's graphics suck IMO and it's gotten the best reviews to date. I don't know where you got this idea from.

GTA games are GTA games.  I mean GTA had numereous actual techinical problems and pop ins and it still got 10 out of 10s.  It's a bit different.

VC art style was unique... and actaully very well done.  

I don't see them chaning up the persona art style because that's well the signature... and it leads to angry fans... and when your a small fan lead title that's bad.

You can call me anti-HD all you want, but in reality i'm just talking about real concerns.  Any bias you may see likely are just a refletion of your own.

Also not only do i have a PS3.  I've got a 360 now too. 

 

 

I still don't think reviewers are as graphics-biased as you imply even though I personally don't use game website reviews to decide my purchases and couldn't care less if the next persona was ps2 or ps3. I'll get it eitherway.

If the next persona/SMT game did magically become a ps3 game, I'm sure Atlus can do wonders without resorting to KZ2 graphics. DDS1&2 are some of the best looking ps2 games and they're quite dated now so I'm sure Atlus can innovate one way or another.
