Good thing this isn't a remake but a remaster then.
See those hw specs to run the game?
i5 6600 and a GTX 760?
If this was actually a remake they'd be like 3 or 4 times higher.

>>713060490
the gameplay is better, although atlus fags probably don't care for that

>>713057943 (OP)
I like these games but this remake is too expensive for what it is.
I'm sure it will be half off in a few months.

>>713059131
It looks like a MASSIVE upgrade gameplay-wise.
The original's combat is notoriously awful and honestly almost kinda ruins the game, so that alone makes it worth it.
I do think the more dreary and darker aesthetic of the OG is much nicer though.

>>713060281
same here, i want to pirate it already.

>>713060790
>this remake is too expensive for what it is.
Not a remake, which only makes it worse.

>>713060825
I mean, it's in a grey area.
Again, they reworked the combat, remade every asset and added a bunch of shit.
Saying it's a remaster doesn't feel quite right.

>>713060825
I'd steer towards calling it a remake with how substantial the combat changes are.
Still though, I'm not gonna pay 50€+DLC for a game I more or less already played a decade ago.

What's the best stat to dump into? Since it's an action RPG i'd imagine STR is a o brainer but it might also be a trap.

>>713061060
Always STR, just like every other SMT game

The game unironically looks great so I hope it does well.

is it cracked yet?

>>713061060
St first and foremost, and once you have enough to get by drop a few in Ma if you want. It decreases the cost of MAG to summon demons, it raises their stats and increases Raidou's defense against offensive skills.

>>713061060
Nobody is gonna be able to tell you, the combat isn't anything like the original.
Just do what feels right I guess?

>>713061226

What did u name your raidou?
I'm the kind of autist who can only do canon names anymore so I went with Jōhei Hibiki
Jōhei is his canon name from the novel but i picked Hibiki cuz it means echo, and cuz it's a remaster/remake it seems kinda fitting

I'll wait for a sale

Anyone notable hired in the jp voice cast?

>>713062507
I've always find it funny how modern games always implement fog when people want modern games with brighter colors only for people to beg for fog in older games but devs give them brighter textures.

>>713063156
IIRC, Koyaso plays Narumi

>>713062952
It's even worse. The original game had a color filter over it reminiscent of a silent film so help drive home the mood and time period/setting.
The remake literally removes any visual storytelling the devs were making with these nonsense changes.

>>713063085
You're thinking of the N64 zoomie

>>713061060
MAG. It’s responsible for summoning demons and using magic. Both you and your demons use scale off of MAG (to summon them, and to use your own skill i.e. pyro). STR doesn’t matter since you’re gonna be hackin and slashin away for a while anyway.

The original Raidou Kuzunoha is 7.25 heads tall
The remastered Raidou Kuzunoha is 8 heads tall

>>713063154
You missed out on the glasses man, it’s over

>>713063247
The colors can be corrected with Reshade.
You're never going to find someone autistic enough to perform RE on this remaster and implement fog effects from scratch. It's the type of thing that requires source code access which ATLUS has.

>>713063268

You can instant kill weak enemies in the overworld like in Persona and Metaphor

Lock-on targeting

Two demons can be summoned at once

No more fixed camera angle and more FOV I believe

Smoother combat overall?

Better ally demon AI

Can now jump

Gun doesn't need managing elemental bullets anymore, they're now separate skills

Can toggle to make ally demons invulnerable but they can't act

Ele weaknesses stun enemies and boost MAG gain when you slap them

>>713062507
Why do they fuck up fog and colouring so much in these remakes to make them more like Persona 5?

>>713063747
Also you can dodge now and if done during attacks you'll circle right behind an enemy

>>713063660
>making up cereal mascots
>gets mad when nobody remembers them
Should have had a good console like the N64 or DC. Maybe then you wouldn’t have this problem.

>>713063747
Most of these are pretty good additions but jumping? You mean in overworld? Its been a while since i last played this but i dont think it serves no purpose at all

>>713063747
These are pretty good changes I'll admit but god damn I wouldn't bother with the art style.

>>713063886
>but jumping? You mean in overworld?
In combat, it leads to some moves. Like a light air combo and a slam AOE attack.

I mean this game is as much SMT as Persona and Persona remake 4 just got announced

>>713063946

>>713061060
Luck

>>713060915
DLCs are optional. I'd argue they're p2w even

>>713063827
Not a remake, it's a remaster and that's the exact reason why.
What was done here was to grab Raidou 1's codebase and modify different parts of it.
Things like the fog effects in PS2 games tend to rely on the PS2's retarded GPU and the stupidly specific ways in which it handled blending and mipmapping, and what these companies do is to take the lazy way out and just remove the effects entirely instead of introducing a new implementation of those effects.
TLDR ATLUS are lazy cashgrabbing DLC-filling scumbags, as per usual.

>>713063920
Ok, bit more additions to the combat which is a good thing. The combat got extremely dull and really fast. Especially if you were an autist like me and grinded every demon you got to their max stats which requires like 6 levels

It's a remaster of a game /v/ didn't even give a shit about in its release.

>>713063827
Because it's outsourced on the cheap. No real care goes into these things.

>>713057943 (OP)
No one cares about SMT outside of Persona. They fucking suck

Lets not get carried away. It was low budget slop.

>>713065183

>>713064628
Game is a historical novelty for SMT fans who just want some more SMT weirdness. In that case, best to just emulate the PS2 version made by the real devs for their true vision.

>2k ccu peak 2 hours ago

Everything Atlus makes is low budget slop

>>713063373
Could be worse, guess I'll give it a shot.

>>713064179
It is a remake.
It does not reutilize any previous asset. They remade the game in another engine, that's why the soul got sucked.

The game is dogshit, anyone buying this slop is mentally retarded lmao. As expected of SMT Niggers.

>>713057943 (OP)
I'll play it at some point but I just finished DeSu 2 so I don't want to play another MegaTen so soon. Is the combat much improved? I have played the original already.

>>713065515

Why bother then?

>>713065585
Because I like the game despite its combat and they have tried to improve the combat.

>not on nxbrew yet
I wanna pirate this bros, it looks interesting

>>713065631
If you like the game it was definitely for the visuals and general atmosphere which are all gone so why bother

>>713065183
I'm starting to understand why some people are obsessed with fixed camera now. The new free camera one doesn't feel right in motion.

>>713065703
I haven't played the remaster so I don't know if the atmosphere and setting feels intact or not.

>>713065557
the trick is to ignore negative and positive praise by anyone who doesn't post their own screenie

>>713065763
>>713062507

>>713065763
>thinking about playing a remake they haven't seen anything about
OK I'm talking to a retard my mistake

>>713065751
I don't know how it feels actually playing it, but looking at it the free camera makes the arena look like it has a lot more freedom to move around in and you won't end up behind the opponent which I think could feel bad in the original. Some games definitely do benefit from fixed camera, but I don't know if this is one of them.

I know it was in the original but there really needs to be a mod to remove this demon summon popups.

>>713065845
I've seen that image already, but I haven't played the game. It looks brighter but it was already evident it looked brighter when they showed it off for the first time so it doesn't come as some great surprise to me. I can imagine the setting still coming across well even with brighter visuals so that's not a dealbreaker for me. What I actually want to know is if the combat is improved or if the changes they made are superfluous.

>>713065873
oh my god what is that shit

>>713065873
That's pretty ugly, though I think it looked pretty bad in the original too honestly. It's a lot worse here though, I feel like it was a lot smaller in the original.

>>713066740
It's ok I wouldn't want to admit to buying it either

>>713066808
It's not a remake

Let me tell you, this plays a hell of a lot better than the original version and thank god for that because it really gives a fresh experience for someone who hasn't played this game in nearly 20 years.

>>713066778
I mostly remember Rasputin drinking in a bar, searching for some Yakuza in a public bathhouse with shittons of colored barriers you needed to break, the mining/smithing dudes, Battleship Yamato and the final area.
I wouldn't be able to piece the actual plot together anymore, but I have fond memories of the general vibe of the game

>>713063857
Well those 2 consoles had a handful of games (all mediocre to okay) while the ps1 had dozens of great games

Not Persona, fuck off. Sage.

The Raidou 1 storytelling is cool because at the start it's throwing names of aristocrats at you, it's setting up dominoes like there's going to be some serious detective work for you to do. Then for the rest of the game it slides off that tone and goes all over the place.

There's been change in the air for a while
But it feels like there aren't real smt fans anymore
15-12 years back you could enter a given megaten discussion thread and there would be no shortage of dweebs enthusiastically nerding out about whatever their favorite entry was
Now it feels like the games are just used as a cudgel to one up others in oldfag streetcred points. I know there was always elitists but when did fighting for the dullest trophy on earth practically overtake fandom?

No one gives a fuck what you do, blind brokie bitch.

>>713070126
I'm glad they didn't cut any corners when it came to revising the original demons. P3 Reload did not give a fuck in that regard.

i'm glad switch 2 games are $80 and i wish they were $100 and i'm not even joking.

>>713066039
You bet.

>$50 for a remake
lol

>>713070113
I was worrying for nothing. It's unlocked after you go back to Tsukudo-Cho to go grab the wine.

I shan't be buying, Instead I will donate the $50 to JK Rowling's anti troon foundation.

>It's unlocked after you go back to Tsukudo-Cho to go grab the wine.
So they did change it then, huh. Weird.
In the original the Gouma-Den is available the moment you step out of Narumi's Agency.

>>713069663
Modern gaming discussion is dead unless you go to 1/100th speed alt chans, reddit is for faggots, discord is for losers cliques and twitter is just a bait contest. This is it, either go offline or just accept the modern net.

Or maybe I unknowingly unlocked it when I used Read Mind on that one kid carrying his baby brother. Idk.

>>713070558
Do it faggot, post the receipt.

We only care for Persona. There are like 5 people on this board that care for SMT

I feel like a balanced Raidou will 100% work well but I think I'm going to pump magic like a retard

>>713071026
I did that in the remaster and the game still told me Victor was not in at the moment.

>>713057943 (OP)
It's actually a good remake, but maybe a little overpriced, dropped in the middle of the week, and Raidou is already hyper niche as it is in spite of all the secondaries who think he looks cool and spam pictures of him everywhere.
>>713071314
I'm doing 2mag/1str every three levels and ignoring vit/lck entirely, gonna see how it pans out. The first playthrough is just practice for the giga difficulty that you unlock after beating the game once.

>retard here spamming 'looks worse than original'
>same exact posts on Steam forums by 'fat guy pornography'

HAHAHA

Anyone tried Creaming the DLC yet?
>>713070126
It'll be a long time until I replay 3R but I hope someone mods her back in

I didn't even know it came out because faglus did zero advertising

>give us snake cheeks
>remove Preta's preta
for what purpose

>>713071750
Game doesn't open when I use CreamAPI. Every DLC has files but I can't even open it with only the DLCs on my account inside the .ini.

Probably Denuvo DLC protection here unless I'm wrong.

>>713070195
Yes you do, you're crying that nobody is buying this rip-off.

>>713071953
Christ I hope not
I'd hate it if Sega pushed this on CA or other developers

>>713071750
>>713071953
Atlus learned from their mistakes and the DLC's are all now separate depots (downloads), so you're gonna have to pirate the DLC somewhere in order for Cream to work.

>get into fight
>.png of raidou awkwardly slides across the screen
atlus what the fuck

shant be paying a single cent to atlus no longer

>>713057943 (OP)
>Yeahhhhhh. Don't expect another SMT game for a while bros...
I'm not interested in raidou, gameplay is not turn based and fully rpg. Call me when they put smt4/a/strange journey on steam, when smt6 drops or when another new spinoff release that doesn't suck - looking at you soul hackers 2 - comes out and when they are priced at 20 quid tops, or less. not when raidou comes out and it's 45 quid whilst only being an aesthetics and atmosphere game where the gameplay is whack

>>713072136
please don't tell me they did the same battle start thing as SH2
there was nothing wrong with the original battle transition

>>713069282
technically he was already dickless in Raidou 2 (he wasn't in OG1)
i even made sure to check footage of the JP version before someone tries to be cheeky and imply it was an NA only thing

>>713060391
he has a voice in smt3

>>713057943 (OP)
SMT is dead, have been dead for decades, it's just being repeatedly reanimated with Persona money only for it to rot and crumble back into oblivion again.
But hey I for one am very happy about all the good Persona remakes and spinoffs being made in the desperate pursuit of the coping higher-ups to try reviving SMT, since if the plan is to generate excess profit they need to go hard in quality.

So...how is it? Did Fatlus fuck up another remaster?

>>713072682
It's lower budget for sure but the combat is much improved and the graphics are about P4 Golden level
Definitely going to be the better way to play the game with the stuff from 2 backported.

>>713072634
>have been dead for decades
fucking retard

>>713072682
>>713072828
You zoomers haven't seen the PS2 version, in the OG the city was just low res JPEGs lmao, like e.g. >>713071026. This is a full remake, but it has Switch (1) graphics.

>>713072682
https://www.reddit.com/r/JRPG/comments/1leupi0/raidou_remastered_the_mystery_of_the_soulless/

tl;dr - Old game sucked, new game good, good QoL but still feels like a 2000s game for better or worse; mostly 7.5/8 out 10s

>>713073087
I've played the original, retardbro. I was remarking on the current graphics level, not comparing to the old one because I don't give a shit about 'muh ruined art direction'.
The original is just not a very good video game and I can play SMT 1, 2, or Soul Hackers with zero complaint to this day.

I played the original but barely remember anything about it... wasn't there a move we could mash that looks like pic related? I liked doing that but I don't remember how to do it in this new version

>>713062507
i'm so fucking tired of modern consoles and engines being UNABLE TO DO FOG CORRECTLY FUCK OFF YOU CUNTS
the ps2 could do this shit with ease and it didn't tax it at all performance-wise
now you cunts add fog to anything in the modern era and every gpu skyrockets by 20 degrees to render it
STOP BEING SHIT
LITERALLY REVERSE ENGINEER THE PS2 AND LEARN TO NOT BE DOGSHIT FUCK YOUUUUUUUUUU

i don't get it

I know that was a move you could do in the sequel. It was a heavy attack you could use when you had sword-types equiped.

he's really been shitposting this thread since the beginning, no joke. I wonder what's it like to be on the trooncord's C squad and get assigned this game?
Hopefully later today we can all ignore it

>>713074180
Right looks better.

>>713074227
I'm just going to skip the whole 'take a screenshot, get told it's photoshop' thing and just say you're not going to convince anyone that that looks better, shame tactics or not
Like say what you want about the other screenshots but that one is bad

>>713074318
I won't because you're a shitposting fucking FAGGOT like that FAGGOT NIGGER posting a screenshot while it flashes from weakness and pretending that's how it looks
The current one in game matches the original art

Get fucked retard.

>>713074461
oh no no discord sisters

Yeah I can't imagine why nobody wanted a Raidou thread on /v/, OP.

nsp is out

Why are there no games where Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan team up?

Are there any performance problems on switch 2?

>>713074429
>>713074461
Why would it look like the SMT2 concept art instead of how it looked like in the original game with its own unique art direction and style

>>713075120
>unique
>Washed out colors

>>713060490
because the gameplay is significantly changed for the better. Not sure why they're calling it a remaster, this is more like a remake

>>713073218
Bloodborne had good fog. Elden Ring had good fog. I don't know what the other devs are fucking doing.
Bloodborne came out in 2014-2015 right? And it's a vivid representation of the foggy mush Londoners go through in a good 80% of the year.

>>713075152
>what's that old photos don't have my kitschy trooneon purple colors aahhh I'm going insane
It was trying to evoke the early 20th century setting by intentionally making the game look old retard, not that you zoomers would know anything about subtlety being raised on color vomit Spider-Man Elsa Cocomelon thumbnails

>>713061419
is it a consistent 60 fps?

>>713073538
Anon you realize that the too is prerendered with use of actual photos of buildings right?
And that the bottom is full 3D and completely made from scratch with the idea of visual continuity?
Do you not inderstand why they had to remake these backgrounds?

is it dick solid 60fps on the switch 2 duck mode?

>>713075550
And that means they should completely abandon the mood, atmosphere, and art direction of the original, why?

Kill yourself

>>713075679
The woke consultants probably told Capcom that the original is a racist repiction of a nigger ghetto so they had to clean it up.

>>713074947
nuh uh

>>713062507
Holy fuck

>>713075679
Are you fucking retarded

The original looks bad

>>713077192

I was sleeping bro, just got up
now. about to boot it up.

>>713057943 (OP)
I am waiting for people to finish it so they can tell me if it's censored or not. I am sure there still a lot of yellow monkeys offended by the taisho era.

I was going to get it but then I saw that Europe only gets a physical release for the Switch 2, so now I want to hold off until I get one.
But I also really want to play it. Not sure what to do ...

>>713069663
That is an inevitable phenomenon with any 35+ year old franchises. Just part of the natural course, and I don't think it has gotten as bad as you paint it.

what do you mean? the gameplay is different

>>713081627
different game, new hi-def assets.

Heard the 'eck version isn't running as well as it should be so I'm going to wait for a patch/sale

if I haven't played it yet, I probably wont play it for a while. It's an SMT side game and I'm trying to go through the mainline SMT games. I think I will pick it up soon though, and on switch. Is it a game key cart or is the whole thing on there?

im sorry raidou i was gonna play you but stellar blade is actually pretty fun...i promise i'll play you right after. you're like the only "modern" SMT spinoff series I haven't played.

>the schizo is here
jesus

>>713080627

I'm thinking of getting the switch version to play on switch2. Are they about the same?

>>713073538
Awful. Nobody with a gram of respect for the original game or the franchise should buy this travesty.

>>713082567

already bought it, i'm enjoying it. Why do you guys keep spamming? Do you feel like you have the power to change anything whatsoever?

>Raidou 1 with Raidou 2 gameplay
Have people not played either of them? The fuck? This is a pretty direct upgrade from the original Raidou 1, even if it does look a bit ugly.

there should seriously be a term for games in-between remaster and remake.

Does Luck do anything in this one? SMT IV and V you went full Luck

>>713083258
I think it increases crit chances and other RNG factors? All I know is it was like that in 2 and was a stat you definitely wanted to max out because one enemy could just give you luck. Might be worth it

Breddy gud so far bros, I'm doing my part for the Team Ninja/PlatinumGames collab for Raidou 3 because Fatlus can't do action for shit

Is the combat reworked or is it just Raidou 2++

Same, I've been loving Stellar Blade desu. Gonna do Hard mode NG+ for all the bonus outfits and skills. Mann and Scarlet look tough.
>I am still considering if I should wait for a sale or not
Any anons able to now comment on if Atlus censor raped the game outside of the imperial flags? Also how's the combat? The style and vibe looks pretty cool and I like SMT but it has to at least be serviceable so I don't hate the combat sections.

>>713086946
I'm an hour in, preta lost his penis and "serviceable" is exactly the word I would use for the rehauled combat
