any chances we're getting a SMT IV port?

[gustavo]

ok, listen to me. Shin Megami Tensei IV is an underrated game. Many people didn't get the chance to play it because it was tied to the Nintendo 3DS. And we also have SMT Apocalypse, which is also great game and essential do IV main story.
I wonder if Atlus is interested in bringing out a port of these games now that they are focused on selling more and reviving their exclusives for the current generation?

I would think that if they intended to create a port, we would have heard something about it in the 5 years since that article.

Well, technically speaking, the SMT III: Nocturne remaster (which was released in 2021) would qualify as one of the ports, seeing it was originally a PS 2 game.


Also, while you sort of have a point, there's something to keep in mind.


Even with Sega being the publisher nowadays, this is Atlus whose games we're talking about. Based on what I've heard, the people at Atlus are somewhat notorious on keeping quiet about their projects for a long time, or providing only mere teasing crumbs of information regarding them.

Apocalypse was so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ good. a remake would be cool or another game with that style.

I don't see any reason it couldn't happen. The fact they did Persona 3 Portable suggests they would like to have these series complete, but I can see SMT IV requiring a bit of extra work. I'd absolutely love Strange Journey to get a PC port, even if it's the inferior Redux version.

We did get Etrian Odyssey HD trilogy, and they literally run on the same engine.

[TSVStriFe]

Redux is far from the inferior version o.o You don't even need to PLAY the extra stuff and just finish the original content.

A Strange Journey remake would be a sight to behold.

Bumping so Atlus will see this and port SMT4.

And SMT 1-2, 4A, SJ, DDS, Raidou and Devil Survivor Games.

Thanks Atlus.

What if this Strange Journey remake combined First-Person and/or Third-Person Shooter mechanics with the classic MegaTen formula of fusing demons? Aren't UN Peacekeeping Troops and Mercenaries involved in the plot of Strange Journey?

It's implied that Bethel issues COMPs to JSDF soldiers if you talk to NPCs in Tokyo, so a MegaTen game that combines monster collecting JRPG mechanics with Shooter Mechanics (Ideally with the option of either First Person or Third Person Gun Play) is would be something I'd personally want to see.

A port would not work, as it's a really low fidelity game that would look horrendous on modern hardware. The proper thing to do is a remake, like the Persona 3 one.

Looks good scaled up on Citra.

nobody knows expect atlus.

Objectively wrong.
I play the games through citra and they look perfectly fine even at 1440p, especially with a proper CRT-filter.
I also hope that they won't just smear a smoothing-filter over the entire screen if the games ever get a remaster, because those just look completely awful and ruin the entire aesthetic.

I would kill for a rerelease of 4 and 4A, and would die if they ended up remaking them. They both ooze their own aesthetics and the only changes I would truly want are higher quality 2d assets, soundtrack-quality OST, and maybe just retouch the 3D assets. They have the full quality assets for things like Demon sprites already since most are just the art. The 2d character sprites are designed to look like the old SNES sprites anyway so they can stay mostly the same

I would like it if they both rereleased the old version of 4 and 4A as well as did a remake as well. Like how you can get both Persona 3 Portable and Persona 3 Reload on Steam as well. Though I would personally prioritize a rerelease.

There is a silver lining: The fact that it is confirmed the first Raidou game, Devil Summoner Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Soulless Army will have a remaster (and it likely means the sequel might get one too sooner or later), is proof that the folks at Atlus do remember their older games.


Plus, Raidou's games are somewhat connected to the timeline of SMT and SMT II, so I wonder if those two may get a remake or remaster in the future.
