Why did it fail bros....Nobody bought it...........
It's a mystery
>>719767613i tried this for like 5 hours and dropped it. its just not interesting enough and the combat is having a hard time deciding if its turn based or an action game. they need to stop with the shitty gimmicks, either go full action game with combos like DMC or full turn based like classic SMT.
no Dormarth, no buy
>>719767613this game is assalso like 0 marketing
>>719767613Sega Atlus is a zombie company. Atlus in name only.
>>719767613Ultra obscure IP, I'm surprised they greenlit a remake at all honestly. I bought it day 1 and felt like I overpaid, should have waited for a sale. Fun game though.
Atlus doesn't care about Raidou or DDS for that matter, the only SMT-related series they care to pay attention to is Persona and mainline. They released this just so fans could shut up about wanting it and so they could use the lack of sales as an excuse to not do anything like this for the other PS2 era games.
>>719768095There's no reason why they can't do simple lazy ports like the P3P one at least
i started playing it, saw that they changed the writing/translation significantly for the worse and kind of lost the will the play immediately. i liked the original on ps2 because of the writing and atmosphere of it, making the gameplay technically better is nice and all but if i wanted a good action game i'd play something else
>>719768095I thought theyd do DDS before Raidou
>>719767613Gimmicky PS2 Atlus side title back from the era where they made many games but people only played Persona, not even SMT thrived well in this era. That mixed with the less than well developed combat and it's alien setting to westerners, it was bound to fail.It's also a super niche side of the franchise, and Atlus has been coasting on recent popularity, thinking they can bring back older series with fresh coats of paint or completely altered standards by just slapping the name on it.I look forward to playing this in 2-4 years when I can get a steam key for a fraction of the price.
I'm not paying full price for a PS2 game, remade to bring it up to par mechanically with a different PS2 game, especially when I've already played the Raidou games. And let's be real, they were always more of a novelty than quality games. A fun palate cleanser after a console generation full of games like Nocturne, Digital Devil Saga, and the Personas. They were fun and original. But you can't remake a game and expect it to still have that "quirky, fresh" charm it did fifteen years ago.
>>719767613Main character looks gay.
>>719767613Normalfags don't know old SMT and only think of personaBlame the mainstream NPCs masses
>>719768337Same here. Back in the PS3 era when HD collections of games like Sly Cooper and Ratchet and Clank were all over the place, I thought Digital Devil Saga was a shoe-in for a rerelease to tide people over until the next SMT or Persona finally came out (reminder that the only "SMT" game on PS3 was fucking Catherine). But it just never happened. But then again, this is the company that STILL refuses to release official western localizations of SMT 1 and 2, so I was giving them too much credit.
>>719768338>people only played persona not mainlineThe west had exactly one mainline and four persona games, two of which nobody played and one of those is a direct sequel to game that wouldn’t come to the states for like a decade
>>719768642They did rerelease DDS and the Raidou games as PS2 Classics on PS3
>>719768642SMT1 got an official translation on the iphone. Pretty sure that translation was what was used for the gba english hack.
>>719768642I think they were just on deaths door, or Index was about to implode. The only console game they could afford to develop was Catherine as a test for P5. Everything else got moved to handheld. I think I remember they even considered putting P4G or P5 on handheld only going forward.
>>719768881> remember they even considered putting P4G or P5 on handheld only going forward.I mean DS here specifically. Dont remember where I read it.
>>719767613I'll never buy visual demakes.
>>719767613Atlus and SEGA deserve to take some punches
