I don't quite understand why people are assuming that a series that's only been on Playstation products is going to jump ship.

The series has more games than you think...

 

 

The SMT series actually started on SNES (and other systems I think)...

Also there's SMT games on GBA and GBC...

Don't worry, there have been rumblings for a few years that Atlus would remake SMT I and SMT II on the DS using the Etrian Odyssey engine. I don't know if there's any truth in that though.

Yeah i doubt it,We'll be lucky if persona 5 makes the leap to HD this gen.Im putting my money on a PSP or a PS2 version of Persona.

I don't know why people think Monster Hunter 3 is going to jump ship it's always been on Sony platforms!

I guess people love to start the speculation early. I guess I'd rather not jump the gun on thinking a game is jumping consoles. Its been happening a lot this gen though from what it seems like though. I guess wishful thinking is what really inspires the platform jump.

 

There's been SMT games on just about every platform dude :\ there was even one on the Xbox... the series whores itself out to every platform, in fact if you have the series on your console you might want to check it STV (sexually transmitted viruses)

Also as a note... Atlus reuses there engines... a lot.

They don't have the resources to keep building new ones.

As such i think it'd take more then a one time cash payout for a system to gain exclusivity since once they make one game.... i'd be surprised if they made games for another system this generation.

A Multiplatform game seems more likely. Which would make sense given the fact that we've heard nothing about the 2005 game.

You've spoke a lot of truth in this thread, to add on to this comment, they've made engines on the Wii already this gen and maybe (not sure cause I'm not sure if they're only the publisher or they also developed it) they have a 360 engine because of the zoids game.

They only published that Zoids game. On the Wii, they can just use the Trauma Center engine. Cheap and ready unlike the HD consoles. They also have DS and PSP engines but I'm not sure if they want to put a new Persona on a handheld.

I dunno. If Persona PSP does really well (over 100k first week according to preview) then I could probably see a PSP SMT.

That's what i'm saying.

See Monster Hunter/DQ... or many of the other franchises that have jumepd ship?

Combined with Atlus being a smaller publisher that can't afford one of it's two biggest series going down the drain.

Also actually the Shin Megami Tensei series had an iteration on the Xbox.  Persona being a SMT spinoff... also gameboy... and others i'm sure i've forgotten.

Lol. It's true. Here's a short list:

PC

TurboGrafxCD

XBOX

Saturn

PS1

PS2

PSP

SNES

GB

GBA

DS

 

I may even be missing one or two.

 

 

@ Soriku

You have a point, but I still think it'd be easier if they transferred the older engine.

Oh how'd i forget SNES. That's where i first played SMT.

I'd say it's more wishfull thinking expecting it to jump to the PS3... all things considered.

It's possible... I mean they've got at least part of a PS3 engine built... you'd think anyway... but it seems like a HUGE risk in development costs.

 

I still don't see it on Wii though... if only for NoA still being a bit... prudish.

I'd prefer if they just use the Nocturne engine though...I like its cel shaded style. But if they don't feel like going for cel shaded with Persona they at least have pretty decent 3D models.

I guess either is a possibility.

Edit: Just porting and reworking the P3/P4 engine would work too.

That would be lazy.  I'm sure they are going to use a new engine if and when they develop games for next gen systems.

What does NoA have to do with anything though? :3

The game would have to come out here and all.  I mean they don't seem to censor violence anymore... but at the same time... eh.
