Forums - Sony - SMT: Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha Versus King Abaddon announced for PS2

I think SMT should stay turn based. The whole action thing too A LOT away from the game.

"WAR is a racket. It always has been.

It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives"---Maj. Gen. Smedley Butler

Here's more info from RPGFan

Atlus today announced Devil Summoner: Kuzunoha Raidou tai Abaddon Ou (Kuzunoha Raidou versus the King of Abaddon) for PlayStation 2. The game takes place in 1935. A mystery case has happened in Tokyo, but soon spreads to shake not only the Japanese capital, but the entire world. The developers aim to increase the number of demons by 100%, compared to 2006's Devil Summoner: Kuzunoha Raidou tai Chouryoku Heidan. Furthermore, the game's size has also been increased significantly. Atlus is promising an overall evolution that goes beyond creating a mere sequel to Kuzunoha Raidou tai Chouryoku Heidan. The kind of evolution promised by the developers would normally be expected from a third game in a series, not the second title. Newcomers to the series will be able to enjoy the new game without problems, though.

System-wise, Kuzunoha Raidou tai Abaddon Ou will offer real-time battles with action elements. In battle, the protagonist will now be able to summon two demons simultaneously. As for Raidou himself, he will have access to more powerful skills, too. Fans of classic Shin Megami Tensei gameplay will be happy to hear that demon conversations are back, meaning players will have to use their negotiating skills to make demons join their party.

Collecting information will be key to solving the game's mysteries. As he moves from one location to another, Raidou can summon one demon to accompany him through the various sections of the field map.

Devil Summoner: Kuzunoha Raidou tai Abaddon Ou will be available in Japan on October 23rd for 6,980 yen ($64.82 USD). A plus edition shipping with Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne Maniacs Chronicle Edition will hit Japanese retail store shelves on the same day for 9,980 yen ($92.68 USD).




Too bad. I was hoping for their first PS3 project. But the game will undoubtly sell more on the PS2.



Badass. More RPG fodder for my PS2.

Thanks zexen. I'll probably buy the plus edition if the Nocturne Maniax Chronicle edition is a new director's cut. So what was exactly wrong with the first game? I was looking at some of the gameplay vids at youtube, and it looks pretty fun. I heard the story was pretty good.
