Two fucking years for such a low-effort remaster, how is this company still functioning holy fuck.
>In July 2020, Yamai stated that SMT III HD’s development was 90% complete, and that a big reason behind starting the project was because Atlus always received many requests for a remaster of SMT III from fans in the company’s annual surveys.
>According to Yamai, Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne HD Remaster has been in the works for about two years, beginning in 2018, and the game’s development has recently been completed.
>In August 2018, Yamai stated in a Famitsu magazine interview that the team was constantly considering a port or remake of Shin Megami Tensei: III. This is likely about when development for SMT III HD began.

>2 years just for upscalled textures
Well geez, thanks
Charles Stewart
What do you mean? That's lightning fast as far as atlus is considered
Zachary Jones
Seeing how incompetent ATLUS is, 2 years is a miracle really.
Lucas Wood
I'm buying this game and it's never coming to PS4 or PS5. :)
Brayden Diaz
It's releasing day one on PS4 you retard.
Nathaniel Hernandez
What the fuck are you talking about you falseflagging consolewars nigger? It was confirmed for both Switch and PS4 from literally Day 1.
Noah Watson
Seethe.
Jack Baker
Just like Shin Megami Tensei V and Bayonetta 2 & 3, right? Atlus is being bought by Nintendo.
Robert Bell
Good thing the game wasn't on ps3 with its gimmicks like MGS4 was or else they wouldn't even have bothered with it....
Colton Watson
Still quicker than Atlus who took 17 years.
James Kelly
What are you even talking about schizos? I play on PC anyway so I don't care about your petty wars, but Nocturne was literally announced for PS4 the day it was revealed. How is Bayonetta even relevant here when it's a Sega/Nintendo shared IP.
Ryder Jones
Yeah? Even then the diehard Sonyfags that actually work at atlus would still release shit for playstation
Jacob Parker
>2 years
When did Atlus become so fast???

You just want to shitpost right? Carry on then, subhuman wojak potsing zoomer I wish you death in agony.
I'll emulate it on Yuzu anyway in 4K.
Jack Torres
>falling for obvious bait
Owen Roberts
Presumably there's also some coding tweaks that need to be done to make the game run efficiently on non-PS2 hardware and any work analysing whether there are other improvements that can be made. This two years could also include the time from the project first getting discussed and having to deal with any licensing issues and do the market research to determine whether it would be worth the investment.
So if we then assume that this remaster was being worked on by a smaller team as well, 2 years doesn't seem like too much of a stretch.
Jose Nelson
Why do people like Nocturne again? It's literally RNG hell.

>"haha, another successful bait :-)"
If your bait post is simply convincing people that you're legitimately retarded then who is the joke really on here?
Liam King
Cope.
Joshua Bailey
But what's about Dante?
Brayden Brown
Who cares what they announced? If Nintendo buys Atlus are they going to release it for PS4 as well just for pity? No.
Asher Russell
user don't try and defend it. You know it's true.
Logan Ramirez
>2 year
>slow
....... Did people me forgot that Persona five only finished when PS4 come out?
(Persona 4 on ps2)
Juan Wood
>people unironically thinking they'll be playing SMTV on their Playstation
Ummm, uh... Guys... About that...
Ryder Hernandez
Dante was confirmed to be paid DLC, sadly.
And playing with him is a different gamemode, meaning you can't have Dante and Raidou in the same run, you choose at the start if you want to play the "Chronicles" or "Maniax" campaign (assuming you have Dante DLC installed).
Liam Thompson
No im just not a retard
Justin Gomez
Getting to play an upres of a PS2 game is a good consolation prize though.
Angel Cruz
The bad news is that Dante is DLC
The good news is Dante will have Pierce making him actually viable
Blake Evans
bro Persona 5 took 10 years.
Charles Clark
Despite being a portjob, most of you might be forgetting something.
IIRC 2018 was also when they actually started full-scale development on SMTV so the team likely had to juggle both of them for a while.
Isaiah Hernandez
Two years for a remaster as well as full voice acting. That's fast for Atlus.
Lucas Bailey
Dante was ALWAYS viable.
The only thing he wasn't viable for was Lucifer, that's a single boss in the entire game. But him getting Pierce is a definitive improvement.
Gavin Cruz
...atlus turned real shitty once they were able to make dlc. This would've been unlockable in older games.
If the collectors edition of the game doesn't come with Dante I'm just not paying for it
Blake Parker
No idea, I'll be priating since I have a hacked Switch anyway. But most likely I'll just emulate on Yuzu.
Here's the Dante DLC trailer for anyone that might have doubts:
