Shin Megami Tensei V will have a simultaneous release worldwide in 2021



Revealed during today's Nintendo Direct Mini was a new trailer for the long-awaited Shin Megami Tensei V. Not only is the game still in development, but it's not too far from an actual release. In a world without its Creator, which path shall you choose? You'll be able to decide that when the game launches next year in 2021, with a simultaneous release in North America, Europe, and Japan.

You said you're sick of games like these and that it's generic. Which is anything but true.
Its not true that im sick?

Anyway, thats not really it....sort of. yes im sick but

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

Well.....Didnt really expect to discuss it but... i was just comenting what i noticed.

but...i know its different, evey anime is different, but they all share the same mold. You can tell by looking at them. And as for pride i meant that you can see that in every anime which also gives it that non original seal. I mean they are japanese yes, but among japanese games they are all so similar.
I wanted to point out how i like japanese (or any other) games that i dont know who made them, that deal with topics in such way that is free from japanese influence, amnirism, topic dealing etc, but is made in japan because for years of watching anime and japanese video games i can certanly tell when a game is from japan. Im impressed with games where i cant tell by those little "mold prints".

You can point me any aspect of that game and ill tell you that its destinct japanese and where you can find that similar thing in other japanese media, games, anime etc.

Ghibly is a great example of original animated movies. in general...
Metroid is kinda out of the mold thing... it just doesnt have anything to do with japan or japanese and no destinct manirism, way of talk..just a normal sci fi story thats wery original (yes its based on alien i know..but BASED..its really its own thing these days)

Japan is known to like to show their pride and promote japan to the world in every way and weirdness...

Pretty much all media can fit into these three main types:

- Medieval (Fantasy or not)
- Contemporany (with magic, robots, etc... or not)
- Futuristic (same as above

Even Ghibli productions will have some similar traits with other media.
Most games or anime can be easily found to be Japanese due to it's distinct art style.

Anyway, this has gone way too off topic.
The point is, SMT doesn't follow the usual molds. You may find some tropes sure, but those tropes are part of what makes the series loved by it's fans.

i didnt meant that.
Welp i see you still dont get it....so if you dont see or understand my point, than i feel annoyed (nothing personal) to explain and argue (i mean have a conversation about it).
Sorry, its not you really. i dont feel like xplaining, i just wanted to leave a comment as my reaction to itto people taht do actually get it...

But i respect what you said, youre right about it its just now what i meant.

I haven't played them, but from what I've seen SMT3 seems to be the go to answer when fans are asked which one the best one is. It is balls hard though, so be aware of that.
Sounds like I can't go wrong then playing them in order from SMT3 remake to SMT4 and then SMT5 when it releases, thanks. I'll be sure to stick with normal difficulty too, where my first instinct with P4G was to play on hard (and I found it well-balanced on that difficulty, maybe a bit easy after a certain point).

The fact that this has a simultaneous world release is a big deal to many Atlus fans. I hope it is the start of a new trend, usually localization of some of their bigger titles takes between 6 and 12 months.

Never played any of the SMT games besides Persona I-III... Guess since it's on the Switch I'll have no excuse not to give this one a try when it comes out. :D

    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
