I believe he leaked pentiment originally? So he would know right.

Geoff once spoke of a smaller non gears title from the coalition so prolly that right.

They also talk about SMT 3-5 coming to Game Pass. Wonder if they'll announce it there.

Pentiment level game from Tango is absolutely fucking yes in my book. Hopefully EVERY studio is doing shit like that.

Because Pentiment is GOTY tier stuff!

edit: smt 3-5 to xbox is pretty cool too

This sounds like Xbox is about to start doing their own State of Play level events to me

Hm. I don't really know who Nick is or how reliable he is. Doesn't sound like Jeff Grubb knows anything about it. They also mix up the games and confuse what they originally released on. Also - not sure how this would work. I guess if SMT 3 came to xbox it would be the hd remaster? Would that mean they're going to remaster 4 as well, assuming this is even true? I think a straight port of a 3DS game to modern consoles would look and play rough.

i'm not sure about nick either but Xbox is clearly doing more stuff with Atlus from the level of marketing they did with P5 and SMT3 and 5 at least would make a ton of sense on game pass

This sounds so confused and isn't that Nick guy famously incorrect around here?

Yes. He throws a thousand darts at a wall and occasionally one sticks.

However, Grubb is pretty damn legit. Even though he is going to have to shave his head or beard if Nintendo doesn't announce Metroid remake by the end of the year :p

Extremely unreliable. Like maybe 5% accuracy.

I'm definitely hyped for a smaller passion project from Tango. Hopefully every Xbox studio is working on smaller passion projects like Grounded and Pentement.

There's absolutely zero chance in Hell that Xbox scored an exclusive port of Shin Megami Tensei IV, lol. Come on, Nick. Come on, man.

This has gotta be that game that was found here the other day, right?

EDIT: Hi-Fi Rush:

www.resetera.com

Rumor: Hi-Fi Rush is an upcoming sci-fi shooter from Bethesda

name was trademarked by zenimax 2 years ago for mobile and consoles/pc: https://www.reddit.com/r/GamingLeaksAndRumours/comments/klp9jl/hifi_rush_new_trademark_application_from_zenimax/ the logo was trademarked by zenimax 2 months ago...

Don't let the thumbnail fool you. In the thread they talked about a reddit leak:

So for further information (GRAIN OF SALT):

R/GamingLeaksandRumors, had a post that was deleted (no source) that stated Hi-Fi Rush was Tango's game, and that it was a rhythm brawler with the graphical style of Jet Set Radio. It was supposedly scheduled for Fall of '23 and X|S only.

I really don't buy the Atlus rumors but I can see a Spring show from them especially considering they actually have games tentatively dated for H1 2023 with no hard dates or more information about them.

man i really hope every xbox studio is doing smaller stuff alongside the big things. more pentiment/grounded level stuff. pentiment is one of the best games of the year i'm hAPPY

Also good to know the event is pretty much confirmed. hopefully it's a direct style thing

There's absolutely zero chance in Hell that Xbox scored an exclusive port of Shin Megami Tensei IV, lol. Come on, Nick. Come on, man.

he didn't say exclusive

They would save that for E3 I imagine. This is the stuff that's coming out soonish.

Yeah, I have to imagine this will be more of an xbox state of play style thing where they announce a few smaller games and give release dates to their 1h games. Just a guess on my end though.

There's absolutely zero chance in Hell that Xbox scored an exclusive port of Shin Megami Tensei IV, lol. Come on, Nick. Come on, man.

I think he also said it might take two years to come to fruition. I mean, maybe, but if so then Sega was just planning to port those games anyway and there'll probably be a switch and ps version as well.

I don't even see what the point of a port of SMT 4 is. It looks and plays fairly dated now especially compared to SMT 5 and the nocturne hd remaster. Would a straight port of SMT 4 which was a 3DS game even be successful?

Almost definitely not, yeah. SMT4 is kind of a mess and a console port would be a bad idea in general. You'd need to completely remake it from scratch and nobody is gonna put that level of effort in for SMT4 of all games.

Whoa whoa whoa, SMT IV ???

No fucking way

I would absolutely love that, but no way

In that case, do Soul Hackers 1, Strange Journey, and Devil Survivor duology while you're at it.

Here's the list of the most in demand atlus remakes from the summer

  • 1. Persona 3 – 78.9%
  • 1. Persona 2: Innocent Sin / Persona 2: Eternal Punishment – 78.9%
  • 3. Revelations: Persona – 76.3%
  • 4. Persona 4 – 74.8%
  • 5. Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha series – 72.1%
  • 6. Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers – 69.5%
  • 7. Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse – 66.7%
  • 8. Shin Megami Tensei IV – 65.3%
  • 9. Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga series – 62.4%
  • 10. Etrian Odyssey series – 58%
SMT 4 is way down at #8. I think they'd probably do the top 3 of those remakes before considering stuff like # 8. And a port makes no sense for the reasons we've already mentioned in here.

Oh nick made the comment about SMT 3-5?

Dude gets like 98% stuff wrong and got perma'd here for a reason.

Though I can see SMT 3 coming sometime since its available everywhere else, and V releasing multiplatform (as it was in the Nvidia leak for PC way back). Highly, highly doubt about SMT IV as it was a 3DS game, multiple screens, touch, would be tricky.

But it's not a big get to say that eventually SMT 3 or 5 will eventually come to Xbox, considering Microsoft wants to keep having Atlus release on Xbox, and 3 is already multiplatform, 5 has been rumored for ages to come to other systems.

Not to mention SMT4 has extremely blocky environmental graphics and badly animated 2D sprite combat. Porting that to consoles would be laughable.

I really hope Microsoft has some great mainstream games to announce and show in 2023, especially Starfield. I love my series X + Pc and gamepass is the service I absolutely love and if I had to only pick 1 sub to pay it would be the one, I've played 30+ gamepass games this year I would never have played otherwise.

But its sorta tough to evangelize to friends, I tell everyone all the free games I get and its easy to talk about Forza Horizon 5, Skywalker Saga, Hades (now gone), etc but there isn't much to counter God of War, Spider-Man, The Last of Us, etc. I've really enjoyed stuff like Lake, Echo Generation, Procession to Calvary, Pentiment, etc but those are fairly niche games and not really for "everyone" or what people think about when they think about an immersive, AAA action game.

Microsoft just has a great thing running right now between PC compatibility, GamePass Ultimate, Microsoft Rewards, Cross Play/Cross Save, Smart Delivery, and their hardware ecosystem but its also not super easy to be enthusiastic in talking about it without getting in the weeds, like MS Rewards is fantastic but its hard not to talk about it without degening into "so I gotta use bing every day for 5 mins to pay for Gamepass?" and smart delivery is one of those things that doesn't mean anything until you fight the atrocious backend of the PSN store on your PS5.

Bruh this thread gave me a mini hearts attack thinking SMT IV and V would be ported. Stop playing with my feelings man...
