Atlus is no more

[Joe Matsuda]

So.......I'm gonna wait and see this one out

but I'm ready to be all like "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!"

...but it doesn't look like its as bad as people originally thought...

 

[Doclector]

Dude, I already know he's no more, I played bios-

Oh. Riiiight...

[/Endobviousjoke]

Can't say I've played any of the games mentioned, but this does remind me that I did mean to get trauma centre at some point. I've heard good things about Atlas, so another sad loss to the gaming industry, it seems.

 

[Meggiepants]

Well, I hope this doesn't change the quality of what would have been Atlus titles. I love those games. They are consistently the most original RPG titles on the market.

 

[Wildcard5]

wow um people relax there still here but only in name since the dev team was made into a internal Dev team, atlus usa is just a publish/translator

Oh, well then never mind. LONG LIVE ATLUS USA TRANSLATIONS AND PUBLICATIONS!!!

 

[Nedoras]

Well that sucks. Altus made some great games like Disgaea and Demon's souls. They were the alternative. *grumbles*

Actually Nippon Ichi Software made Disgaea and From Software made Demon's Souls.
I can't really see this affecting them too much. The development team still exists after all, it's not like they fired everyone.

 

[BlumiereBleck]

Demon's Souls 2....NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

NOOOO the video ended

 

[Guitarmasterx7]

Never played any of them. Trauma center looked lame, I don't even know the pernunciation of "Shin Megami Tensei," Demons Souls is still extremely overpriced for the level of interest I have in it. My few of my friends swear by persona 3, but since their descriptions all start out with "It's this game where you're in high school..." I have no remote interest or intent of looking into it.

So yeah, no opinion.

[ANImaniac89]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo
WHY GOD WHY?

 

[Hurray Forums]

While this might not be the end of the world it hardly bodes well as I don't see what good could possibly come of this and Atlus is one of those companies I REALLLYYYYYYY don't want bad stuff happening too. I suppose I'll wait for more info on what all this actually means before breaking down into tears and cursing the heavens but I'm already not happy . *Chris Crocker voice* LEAVE ATLUS ALONE!!!

 

[AwesomeFerret]

But... But... What will happen to the SMT Imagine Online servers?

 

[Glamorgan]

Well, to be honest, I've never played any of their games. It really is a shame though.

 

[Dexiro]

Nuuuuuuu, they were like the Japanese Valve or something D:

 

[Dango]

What!? WHAT!?!?!?! I just re-bought Demon's Souls yesterday! Fuck! How could anyone do something like this?

 

[Altorin]

So Catherine isn't coming out now? At least not in america? First really good looking anime style cel shading in a video game.. *sigh* oh well

 

[Mr. Mike]

So...does this mean no Demon's Souls 2?

Demon's Souls 2....NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Well this came straight out of nowhere. I guess a Demon Soul's 2 is out of the question?

Argh, cannot stand the degree of ignorance much longer... *cringes*

Demon's Souls was never developed by Atlus in the first place. It was made by a Japanese Sony first-party studio, From Software. All Atlus did was publish the game in America. If Demon's Souls 2 is ever to be made, Atlus dissolving will have no affect on its creation.

 

[Mitsurugi_Reiji]

Atlus will continue to make games. Catherine will continue to go on, the Persona games will as they make a lot of money in Japan selling thousands of copies of games/OST`s and live performances of the Persona OST.
SMT: Nocturne is rare for a reason, it was so popular and Atlus didnt know how popular it became and couldnt get more copies out as they wanted.

Atlus will continue to make games (doubt they`ll publish any 3rd party games anymore though).

 

[Blackality]

Fuck, They made the best game on the PSP this year (Persona 3 portable).

 

[wellhereiam]

Geez dude you scared the shit out of me! Atlus isn't going anywhere this is just some corporate restructuring bs. The chances of there being any significant changes are almost nonexistent. It's still going to be the same people making the same games and it's still going to say Atlus on the covers.

EDIT: As far as I've seen the only changes are that they will start releasing mobile games with the Atlus label on them. Basically there will just be games like Persona 3 Social(which was announced) for the iPhone or whatever.

 

[Irridium]

So...does this mean no Demon's Souls 2?

Demon's Souls 2....NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

True, but no one else would bring Demon Souls to the US. And its possible no one else will bring Demon Souls 2 to the US if its made. So this still means I won't get a Demon Souls 2.
