SMT Devil Survivor 2 Break Code announced for the 3DS

[Skelletonike]

Well, soon after the 3DS launch in Japan, Shin Megami Tensei Devil Survivor Overclocked was released, essentially being the same game, while adding Voice Acting and a brand new day, along with improved graphics and animations. The same now appears to be done with it's sequel, Devil Survivor 2, although instead of being called Overclocked, the remake will be called "Break Code".

"Devil Survivor 2 Break Code was announced at a Japanese pre-screening event for the upcoming Devil Survivor 2 anime today. Attendees there are saying the remake will launch in Japan this summer, with new story bits and character content added."

Personally I find it quite interesting, I loved the game and a 3DS remake with added content would be welcome, although I'll be hoping this reaches Europe faster than Overclocked, which is just about to be released in Europe next month.

Here's the source which I read:

PS: I tried looking for any news on this over here, if this is already old news, please lock the thread.

Words can not describe how excited I am.

 

[weavile001]

wow, it's the best game for DS for me.

I loved the game, it had some improvements over its predecessor, so I'm hoping this remake will have even better graphics than Overclocked and more improvements in general.

It's not old news, it was announced about two days ago.
God I love ATLUS so much.

I sadly didn't get a chance to play Overclocked since I lack a 3DS, but it is going to be my first game once I get a 3DS.
Still I really enjoyed this game for the DS!

I meant old news figuratively, like, it could've been posted before somewhere, although I didn't find it while searching. xP

I love Atlus games, but I don't like them because they don't make a friggin European HQ as well. T_T
It takes too long for their games to reach our shores.

 

[Gahars]

You know, if this game turns out to be glitchy as all hell, "Break Code" is going to be all too fitting.

 

[WiiUBricker]

Damn it, just when I finished the original...

 

[xist]

Overclocked still not released on the 3DS in Europe....

 

[Qtis]

Overclocked still not released on the 3DS in Europe....

What I was going to say.. Thanks to the 3DS region lock, we can't even import

Its coming out in one month...

OT: Atlus are really milking it now.

Well, I don't complain... There's lots of worse things being milked all the time. Xp

 

[KingVamp]

Now this makes sense! Glad I didn't get the ds version.

 

[Bake]

Gratz Atlus for milking every possible game you make.

 

[AceWarhead]

Gratz Atlus for milking every possible game you make.

Still not as bad as Square Enix.

 

[Guild McCommunist]

Can't wait for its not localization.

But in all seriousness though, SMT is okay. Devil Survivor was tolerable (which is saying a lot from me being both a SRPG and a JRPG) but I preferred Strange Journey more.

 

[lufere7]

Love this game, one of my top 5 DS games, not really sure if the extra content will make me want to play it but this still means all those people that passed up on it because it was on DS will actually play it now, which is good enough for me.

I actually preferred Devil Survivor to Strange Journey. The whole "we've got seven days to end the lockdown or we're all going to die" angle was neat, but made more interesting by the way that everyone inside the lockdown was just an average person in the wrong place at the wrong time. The riots, the lynch mobs, the gangsters and corrupt police officers... Everything that happened would happen in a situation like that. Devil Survivor, to me, was almost like the developers wanted to explore what would happen if everyone was given the use of the Devil Summoning Program, whereas usually Shin Megami Tensei games only infer that such a thing would be very bad. Heck, the wide variety of endings were just a bonus - how many games have not only an ending where you essentially become a God but also have an ending where you actually run away from your responsibilities because everything became too much for you?

I'm playing Overclocked right now. I held off playing it on DS because I knew about the 3DS remake, and I always thought it would be weird playing the first one on 3DS and then going back to DS to play the second one lol

So needless to say I'm excited.
