Pre-Release The SMTV Hype Thread

[snikdasnek]

If we get english language previews for the game, which I imagine we will, would this week be likely since its a month out?

Either this week or next also I know someone on discord said Nintendo is handling review copies so who knows if people have it already.

Makes sense considering how long the game is.

I voted not hyped even though I’m interested in the game. SMT games are brutally hard for me so I’ve always approach them with caution.

Luckily for you, they mentioned having multiple difficulty options.

Which is a great thing considering accessibility is a positive thing to have.

Welp, didn’t know that. Day 1 now I guess!

Just to add info here, there are two easier difficulty modes, with the easiest mode being free DLC (no, no one knows why it's DLC).

 

[Dardan Sandiego]

Animations on point.

Serious and depressing and full of despair, who would ever wanna play this?

 

[Aostia82]

Those hairs are hype

I would kill for an animated trailer for SMT V like the one Strange Journey Redux got. This animated trailer looks fantastic and I'm in the belief that SMT would make for a great anime if done well.

Such an amazing game. Love it to death (The original and redux as well).

I played some of SMT IV, but ended up watching someone play it online instead. This would be my first SMT game I plan to play.

 

[AquaWateria]

More Doi commentary. I really love this demon design.

I'm very hyped for the game. This and Dread are my most expected games of the year.

I've been very hyped since this game was announced, and I also needed a new Metroid. This year is an amazing gaming year for me.

[Bonejack]

I hate this Starfish face.

 

[Jota]

My only fear about this game is the performance, at least stable 30fps pls Atlus.

 

[snikdasnek]

New Samurai-san challenge, this time he's actually playing SMT V. Hope it won't just be the first area again

 

[Chris Walken]

Never played a SMT game,.

I really like jrpgs like FFIX, Xenoblade, DQXI or dungeon crawlers like Dark Souls (in fact it is one of my favourite games in my life), what i'm in for?

 

[Acidote]

Today I missed my opportunity to preorder the Fall of Man Edition.

GAME Spain had 100 units. For the whole country.

this is a more dungeon crawling focused game, so you're definitely in the right place

I just want to see a dungeon

 

[snikdasnek]

I just want to see a dungeon

I mean on one hand I don't want to see any more of the game, but on the other hand I wanna see gameplay of anything but the first area lol

 

[Cantaim]

I need this game in my veins I’m so dang ready!

 

[AquaWateria]

I wouldn't have fears in regards to that because recent gameplay vids look a lot optimized compared to its first showing at E3.

Performance looks good.

You know they will just show off the first area lmao.

I think it will be good for all of us since it won't spoil anything. At lease we've have seen little previews of other areas.

 

[ActStriker]

I need to block out time for this but need to also block out time for Nocturne HD which I never got around to playing either

Too many games, not enough time

 

[Abisales]

I'm hyped for this game, but i don´t know if I'll have the time to play it.

 

[ILikeFeet]

 

[kimbo99]

Wait this isn't 60 FPS? Unplayable /s

Glad I got Dread out of the way. Just need to replay Dying Light and my palette should be free for this game

[snikdasnek]

If you guys are interested the Samurai Megaten challenge video has footage of the fight with Nuwa

 

[Jota]

No Fiends so far, right? Alice is the only one, but i want my skeletor warriors. I actually liked hunting them in IV and SJ, i know most people find annoying.

 

[toxic user]

I'm hyped beyond belief. However, I'm not sure if I should play it on day 1 or wait and see how Ryujinx runs it. Either way, Atlus tends to deliver games with a very consistent quality so I'm very confident we're getting a great dungeon crawler in a bit!

 

[Brewster123]

If they bring back the fiends (which I expect they will), I hope chemtrail is one of them. I need to see this design in 3D:

That boss music is awesome as hell.

Not gonna watch this to the best of my ability lol.

 

[pain]

I purchased a Switch for SMTV. I've obviously played many other games on it but it's still the main reason I own one. Of course I'm hyped. I took the release day off from work

But will we be able to turn off encounters?

I have terrible flashbacks to trying to find my way through the underground city in SMTIV and running into demons every few steps in some areas. It was terrible.

 

[FiveSide]

This is my most anticipated release since the RE2 Remake. But I am on total media blackout for it and have been since it was announced. Can't wait.

Will be playing on a CRT with my current setup, can't wait to see how it looks.

With the fast movement the protagonist has, it shouldn't be as terrible as it was in SMT 4. You should be able evade counters easily plus they are fully 3D now too.

I'm digging the speed. So this game is entirely open-world? No top down maps with random encounters anymore? Sweet.

I don't know if it's fully open-world. It might be like Xenoblade where areas are larger in that it allows for exploration, but not completely open world.

Shoot. This might be day 1 for me then, any words on a English dub?

Doesn't look like it's open world. Those "alternate Tokyo" could be segments of a dungeon. Feels like an open world but probably is a one giant labyrinth, with doors and gateways guarded by boss battles.

It's probably structured in separate areas that allow for some exploration. It's most certainly no open world game.
