WTF happened to Kaneko? SMT isn't the same without him (or at least his style and understanding of mythology).

Thanks for the overview Hirato. EOV sounds a tad disappointing. Another full-blown labyrinth is ok in my book, but I'm not sold on subclasses (didn't like it in EOIII), race specific skills (or just the idea of races at all, inb4 elves and dwarves) and voice acting (why?).

Fake edit: Indeed, elves, dwarves and bunny/cat people. The horror.

Why did Strange Journey need a remake? The remake looks basically the same as the original with a better resolution and shittier artwork.

Retired after Atlus hit it big with Persona 3/4.

He's probably relaxing somewhere cushy and they occasionally have him "advise" to throw on his name on things.

Basically Kaneko is Japanese Chris Avellone.

Kaneko has more pride than to be a kickstarter stretch goal whore. Basically all the Atlus old guard stepped down after the PS2 era and decided to let new blood come in while they have a more producer-like role. At least it's given more opportunities for people like Masayuki Doi.

Shin Megami Tensei: Synchronicity Prologue side-scroller for PC released as free download

SMT-Synchro-Prologue_10-16-17.jpg



Last week, Atlus released a new trailer for Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey Redux featuring a “fake” side-scrolling starring Jack Frost and Jack O’Lantern. Today, Atlus has released that game, officially titled Shin Megami Tensei: Synchronicity Prologue, as a free download for PC.

Shin Megami Tensei: Synchronicity Prologue was developed by Den-fami Nico Game Magazine’s Ladybug team, which is led by Krobon, who developed the PC game Pharaoh Rebirth+. The same team also developed the KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on this Wonderful World Season 2 Blu-Ray 1 bonus game.

Download the game here. The download will only be available until December 24.

In before SEGA Europe releasing this on Steam in Halloween like they did with Bayonetta.

Uh, the 2D Bayonetta steam game was a precursor to Bayonetta getting a PC release. This could be potentially bigger than just "Here's your Shin Megami Tensei, you filthy PC pirates!".

I liked Strange journey well enough, for a DS title. Imo it's one of the better entries in the Megaten franchise. But this remake is completely unneccessary. DS games are compatible with 3DS anyway, so it's not like they are porting it to a new console. They are basically giving this to a couple of interns to mess around with it a bit, and change a few things. Low cost, potentially high return. The new art sucks and doesn't mesh well with the older style. We have a new character that looks way out of place and is just waifubait so that Otakus might buy this shit. Just look at that Demeter design. It's a loli that could be found in any shitty 2017 anime. Zeus looks like he came from Pokemon. This game is going to be just worse in every way, and people will lap this shit up. What a travesty.

Doi sucks.
Nae. Doi is better than Kaneko.

That's just objectively wrong.

Well yeah if only. But at least for now, this is only for a promotion of 3DS SMT SJ to Japanese audience.

The UI and font are giving me extreme Majin Tensei flashbacks. :lol:

There is no doubt this must be a sign of the coming Apocalypse.

You must have faith. One day Etrian Odyssey and mainline SMT will be ported to the PC.
