Shin Megami Tensei V Still in early stages, producer asks fans to be patient

They are currently in the “scrap and build” phase, meaning that they are trying out various gameplay concepts to find out what works and what doesn’t on a trial-and-error basis. Yamai states that since this is the first mainline Shin Megami Tensei title on a home console in a while, he’d like to develop the game properly without any compromises. He would also like to properly reveal the game soon to show off how it plays, but asks fans to be patient for a while longer.

Good

Yeah, good think the're developing best they can, for home system

I hope Mastema gets a cool 3D model

Gay

Better to be upfront than going 'Winter 2014' on us again.

Hopefully it doesn't end up like the delayed mess that was 5.

They are developing on ue4, so thats good. No more mess, most delays were because of engine.

And those fucking drones kept telling me they started in January lmfao what a retard. This definitely not a 2018 release.

Good, plenty of time for Atlus to realize their mistake of releasing a Switch-exclusive SMT.

See you in 2020.

Fall 2019?

>Yamai states that since this is the first mainline Shin Megami Tensei title on a home console in a while, he’d like to develop the game properly without any compromise
Excellent

>no new SMT til 2020+

Nothing will make them bring it to other platforms and it will sell. Also Nintendo is probably funding it or have made a deal. Sorry but just get fucking all consoles so you dont have make petitions and what not. PS4 - P5, switch - smtv

>Sorry but just get fucking all consoles
You lewd goof.

>Nintendo is probably funding
No they're not. They never funded any of the SMT games in the past and this won't be a system seller for them.

Thry must have or at least have exclusivity deals. For what fucking reason then they would divide theyr games on platforms like that? All the strange journey, IV and Apocalypse, thrn P5 etc

I'll probably buy a switch to play it, if it isnt on other consoles.
Heres hoping it'll get literally any games I care about besides this

>They never funded any of the SMT games
Which makes you wonder why Megaten games are even exclusives in the first place. I'm sure Sony doesn't fund the Persona series, yet Atlus insists on having it exclusive to Sony platforms.

Games nowadays take 3-5 years to make.

Which is why it's annoying that games get announced this year and people go "Where's the switch version" or "hahahaha no switch version BTFO"

Well that game was probably a good year or more in development before the switch even fucking existed.

oh boy I can't wait for 2 years for the game to be made and then another year for it to be localized.
at least by then the switch will be cheaper

shit out eo6 please

So basically it's still in fuckig pre-alpha.

See you guys in 2020.

Well, at least we got DSJ coming out 2018. That's something, right?

Guys, right? Hello?

When's that mobile game coming, again?

Persona 5 PS3, starts in early 2011. Project has 40 staff members.

First hiccup with the earthquake and nuclear crisis, they scrap parts of P5 and go conventional storyline (original P5 was traveling the world).

Development proceeds well, HD assets made for the first time since ATLUS reused all SMT3 PS2 assets, a lot of groundwork included scene creation tools. Devs think they can hit 2014.

Unknown issues arise in 2013, I'm guessing ATLUS was informed of the PS4 and they had crisis management. They don't have the staff count for 2 consoles and they are polishing the game back and forth, they delay without mentioning PS4.

2015, ATLUS announces the PS4 version. From the directors interview with Vice Waypoint they spent a large amount of time getting 720p 2D assets working in 1080p. For example, a lot of dungeon transition areas have off camera artwork in 2D that needed to be redrawn in 1080p. Development on PS3 either stalled to shift manpower to the PS4 port or they had unused staff work on the tons of DLC like costumes until the PS4 version was caught up.

Late 2015 delay at TGS, no idea. If you've played the game the engine has a lot of overhead on PS3 and PS4, there are scenes in which the player character is rendered with Ryuji and Ann traveling the city without any hiccups. Hacking the game on PS3 let's you summon party members anywhere without a hit to performance. the engine running so tight on both consoles makes me believe the Japanese delay was quality assurance related, plot areas like Akechi arc in the 7th palace come and go without affecting the major plot. I believe Akechi final story arc and Mementos Depths becoming a full dungeon were attributed to delaying the game.

The English delay was sales department related. The PS3 version was examined and the localized master code went gold in late January, they could have pushed it to late or early January but for some reason backed off. The takeaway is the PS4 port added to delay.

At least SMTV already has HD demons models ready.

Jan 2018

To be fair the PS3 was fucking awful to develop for

EVERY game should be announced like MHW.
>revealed with gameplay at E3.
>they tell you they spent 3 years working on it already
>release date at January
>demo in early December to build hype

Fuck this """teaser""" bullshit where you won't see the game for 5 years

>won't be a system seller
It is for me

Because atlus is cheap as fuck and develops for the cheapest system possible. See P4 for PS2 in 2008 and even P5 was originally a PS3 project.

This.

That's ok I just started IV. First SMT game and I'm getting my ass whooped, it's fun though.

This is going to be persona 5 all over again isn’t it? ‘Winter 2014’

cool, show me project re fantasy and persona 6 release dates on ps4

PS3 was definitely a factor. Tons of developers said it sucked ass.

>one game where they haven't even started, the other is a game that is not happening until next gen

WEW

I just want to hear more of the soundtrack.

It's probably reusing P5's engine and definitely reusing the HD assets from it so they can really take time refining the game and it still shouldn't take nearly as long as P5 did.

Project Fantasy is PS4 and Unreal Engine 4. Nice damage control without citing a release date or a time table for Persona 6. After all, PS3 being so hard is why Persona 5 suffered the most. While PS4 is 4 years old, hitting it's 5th year in 2018, without ATLUS new fantasy IP having a release date and no word on Persona 6.

Meanwhile ATLUS just said SMT5 is going to take a long time since they wanna get it right. It too is on Unreal Engine 4.

Damn that PS3 causing all this.

>It's probably reusing P5's engine
Nope. P5's engine was based on cryengine. This one is UE4

well it's at least still gonna use the assets

yeah, that's a given.

SMT4 OST and fusion
Nocturne atmosphere
Strange Journey dungeons
Apocalypse combat and negotiations
No lame ass cursor on the map for exploration
Bring back constitution
Physical attacks consume HPs

There Atlus, I've already figured it out.

My biggest dream is the final dungeon actually being challenging and well designed instead of a fucking enraging massive overconfusing teleporter maze

WTF!

what the fuck i do with my switch now till 2020?

Play Octopath Travelers and Valkyria Chronicles.

Shove it up your ass.

You forgot Atlus had horrible management and got bought by sega. This is what actually happened in 2013
