I own a Wii, 360, and DS. So those three preferably. I'd get a PS3 if they announced a new SMT game though.

Xbox 360 or Playstation 3 would be neat, as long as the jump in tech is more noticble than say...Nippon Ichi's move to HD.

A DS/PSP title would be pretty cool as well. The series would work well on a portable, given how segmented the more recent installments are.

Of course, I'll buy whatever console they put it on. I've only upgraded my handhelds. I still only have a Playstation 2. :/

Enzeru

Shoot me for saying this, but if it was on DS, could one screen be first person view and another be third person? Also, you could be switch where each view was, so that one screen can have the HUD while another is clear. Once again, just a stupid idea I wanted to put out there.

Anyway, I think PS2 should be fine for console SMTs, but when/if they make the move to the next-gen consoles, I think the graphics would greatly benefit, especially if they go the way of DDS and Nocturne, which already look beautiful (IMO).

CLupula668

PS3 all the way. If you have to put it on the 360, make it multi-platform, but PS3 is an absolute must. Nippon Ichi are already on there, so it makes sense for Atlus to follow too.

Plus, I'm not buying a 360.:devil:

Tatsuya

02-04-2009, 12:23 PM

To be honest i'd get megaten on anything (heck devil survivor is getting me to buy a DS and persona a psp), my only worry with the 360, wii and handhelds is that it will change with the system, i REALLY don't want to see a megaten FPS, heck maken x kinda pushed it for me.

So all said as long as it's a true megaten game, i don't mind the console outside of the 360 (i'm not fond of M$ for so many reasons), but i'll buy it on anything, my only worry with the wii is just like i said, the feel of the game losing it's feel is my worry there, and the wiimote doesn't sound like a good idea for a turn based rpg, so unless it's got a controller required system, i'd rather not the wii, either way i'd buy it though.

peasantman

02-04-2009, 08:32 PM

Personally I'd rather have it on the wii, this would allow Persona to legitimately keep it's simple design from the ps2, whilst expanding the graphics a little on a dual layer DVD. No wii60, I don't want a cheap wii port from a superior version.

and as for the cheap waggles who gives a ####, everyone seems to be under the assumption that that is why anyone develops anything on it. And devs trying to develop ideas around stupid waggles ruins good games, I'd be fine use my wiimote on it's side.

Playstation 3!

wii is to casual, the only games that sell on that system are exercise and music games. seriously my imagination of playing a game does not happen to have me standing up and moving about. and if they dont put waggle on then the graphics wouldnt look as great as they could. not that persona games are widely reknown for their graphics, but the game play is perfect, therfor the only thing that would really be required is a graphical face lift.

I'm changing my vote to Etch-a-Sketch. SMT on Etch-a-Sketch will be the world's first truly open-ended RPG, allowing you to do whatever you want whenever you want with whoever you want. Want to fight a dragon using the Demifiend and Maya? Bam, there's a dragon. Want Raidou and Minato to have tea with Lucifer? You can do that, too. Hell, you could do both at the same time if you really wanted to.

02-05-2009, 01:58 PM

I dunno, I think viewmaster might work better, it would allow Atlus to recycle as many assets as required so it would bring production costs down, its popular on both sides of the ocean, and just think of the possibilities of DLC!

Discs with extra characters and dungeons every other month, combined with next gen photorealistic graphics would make this a winner! And I think it wouldn't take that long before someone came up with a level designer, think of the community content possibilities!

Not only that, but with the innovative user input features of the Viewmaster, YOU decide how long you want the game to last, while interacting with the world in a rewarding and meaningful, if predictable, way

Lessgo Atlus.

I've been playing a lot of Mega Man 9 lately and I must say, a new/old-school SMT, or heck, MT even, with download-able content and a grocery list of nigh-impossible challenges would be AMAZING. If Atlus followed Inti Creates model to make SMTIV... Monkeys may or may not fly out of my ass if that happened though.

You never know though Blue Dragon, infinite undiscovery, Lost Odyssey all did well on the 360 (partly due to market) while out all the jrpgs on the ps3 (disgaea 3, Valkyria Chronicles, Eternal Sonata) White Knight Chronicles is the only one that shows that5 is has good legs.

Personally, as much as I hope that the next persona game comes out on the ps3, I think that the type of people who brought a 360 in Japan are the type to go out and buy a persona game

Man I would be so heartbroken if SMT would lose PS exclusivity (on home consoles) I own a PS3 and up to date I have never ever envied another console. I'm very happy with my purchase, and so far I feel that it's complete with everything I need. The RPGs are amazing, like: Valkiria Chronicles, Disgaea 3 and folklore. Even if they didn't sell millions (in the US) they're still awesome games and have received excellent scores. I cant wait for X-edge which really will bring the PS3 to niche gaming, and Sony's first party White Knight Chronicles. SMT has been with Sony for so long that I'll really feel uncomfortable if they break up from them hafter having so many fans on the Sony side.

Multiplatform games always get hampered by the fact that they have to be equal on both 360 and PS3. They can never be at their fullest, at least not on the PS3 anyway. I really hope that when PS3 establishes itself Atlus will finally go for the SMT title they were developing in Japan. It's been there for a long while but heck it's been nowhere near as long as MGS and Killzone 2.

The RPGs are amazing, like: Valkiria Chronicles, Disgaea 3 and folklore.

None of the games listed are pure RPGs. Two are strategy RPGs, which do not necessarily appeal to RPG fans, and one is an action game with some very, very minor RPG elements. Of course, the actual RPGs on the PS3 haven't done very well, either.

Even if they didn't sell millions (in the US) they're still awesome games and have received excellent scores.

You may not care how well they sold, but you can bet your ass that folks at Atlus (on both sides of the Pacific) are watching the sales numbers for PS3 RPG/RPG-hybrids. If similar games aren't selling very well, that's going to have a significant impact on which console Atlus chooses for future SMT games.

Now that I've read around and seen some of the troubles going on in the industry, the Wii really would be the most logical choice, along with some DS and PSP releases.

Development costs are far greater on the HD platforms than the Wii, and there really is no reason for development on the HD platforms, since the Wii also has a much larger userbase.

Atlus seems to be one of the few remaining developers/publishers that aren't struggling in this economy, and I wouldn't want that hurt by lackluster sales from some multi-million dollar Playstation 3 title.

They have never really been all about the graphics anyways, so just throw some 16:9 support on a Wii title and you'd never tell the difference.

even though i like the psp, they need to do something about the gaming software support for the system/3rd party support. they cant just depend on the ps1 downloads on the psn...

how will they compete with the ds if they cant produce half as much games as the ds (im talking about the US psp, since japan psp is doing well)

02-18-2009, 01:47 PM

Only thing I'll say is, while the PS3 is what I'm hoping for, since they can do so much with all the blu-ray space, I know it can easily also choose to release on both 360 and PS3, since apparently loyalty's out the window in video game industry nowadays.

Look at those son-of-a-b**ch bastards at Namco, they sold Tekken like hot potatoes into the 360's hungry mouth. :mad: Grrrr.... I still can't even stand the idea of it being on that damn console...

This is one of my biggest pet peeves. People like you make it difficult for us older, respectable gamers to get our favorite hobby out of the eye-rolling category to our peers. Just because you're a gamer (or even worse, a cell phone texter) does not make it OK to abandon proper grammar and spelling. It doesn't make you look cool, or hip, or young. It makes you appear to lack intelligence and/or a decent education.

I wonder what Atlus would do with the PS3's capabilities, since there have been a couple of hints that a new SMT might go there. Since graphics haven't exactly been the franchise's strong suit, there must be another reason why the PS3 is attractive...

Sayin' what everyone has been thinking. :/

Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 would be neat. There really is no reason to stay exclusive to one or the other unless they fund the titles or pay for it to be exclusive.

There is no reason to be loyal. It's about making money.

Actually there is 1 thing holding it back on the 360, namely that the 360 still hasn't broken 1 million units in japan, other than that i agree though, as i'd only get a ps3 at this point if atlus started making games for it (thank you B/C removal >_>).

But the Xbox 360 has a much bigger install base in the US than the Playstation 3. Releasing them on both would be best.

I have no interest in the Playstation 3 until Final Fantasy XIII hits (I refuse to play it on an Xbox, since the Xbox version will have multiple disks, and the Playstation 3 is getting Final Fantasy Versus XIII later as an exclusive), but Shin Megami Tensei titles would just make it sweeter.

The us probably means little to atlus japan in it's system consideration, so unless atlus japan makes it, it won't happen, but we'll see anyway, keep in mind that atlus is a japanese company, tbh i think atlus will wait until FF XIII before deciding on it's next gen system myself.

Personally I don't think Wii wouyld be a good place for SMT in general. First party games, and music games like Rock Band or Gutiar Hero aside, the game sales suck. On top of that A LOT of third party of Wii games are shovelware, so it's going to be hard to stand out in a sea of crap.

So I say X360/PS3 would be best, but putting it on Wii isn't a deal breaker for me.

While I love the Persona series, I don't know if I'd be willing to buy a new console just for it, because personally, I can't get any replay value out of the things, or any other Megami Tensei title.

Then again, by that logic, the only system seller for me would be Disgaea. D: (Which is what gave me a push towards a PSP)

The last console generation was so much easier. And cheaper. It's all Sony's fault.

I would like to see the Persona series continue on any of those consoles listed in the poll. Even with the small sample results, surely Atlus can't go wrong with any of the choices. If it's a matter of keeping costs low, most fans understand that and would purchase any of the consoles if needed. As long as the next Persona game has as much depth or a little more than the previous game, it will be difficult to be unsatisfied.

While I would love to see the next one on the Xbox 360, maybe with FES-like downloadable content (though it's possible on the PS3 also), making a Persona game that is as explorable as the 2nd games, but on a bigger scale would suffice.

It's also logical to make a Persona game (not necessarily the next one) for the new PSP console, whenever that will be.

Honestly, I agree with your bet. Consoles in general are declining in Japan and Devil Survivor proved that there is an audience for SMT games on the NDS. If Persona on the PSP performes good as well, Atlus might be better of developing for the handelds.
Then again I want the next Persona/ SMT4 on a console.

As I watch more updates for the Persona remake for PSP, I'm a believer that even a new game in the series could work extremely well on the system. It would definitely sell well in Japan at the least. But I'm imagining a new game that looks similar to the second games, but with Persona 3 & 4's colors and soundtrack. It's not hard to imagine, and I know that you know it could be done and done well. I'm not mistakenly getting ahead of myself and saying at the moment how glorious the Persona remake will be, but if you seriously watch and listen to the high quality being created, the series just seems perfect for the PSP (compared to the DS).

I mean who here would oppose, as an example, a Persona 3 remake, with obviously worse graphics (looking like the remake or the second games, seems better and more fitting, depending on how you look at it), but with the same quality soundtrack and features? The game doesn't even have to be a remake. And voice-acting isn't even needed. Innocent Sin has enough of it and the game speaks for itself.

Does anybody here not listen to these soundtrack samples and envision things like this? To me the soundtrack is crucial, and already I feel like what we hear now is much needed for the console. I've never heard PSP soundtracks as good as this one, and I'm only judging on a small portion. It just feels right.

Listen to the two new samples if you haven't already.
