Title: E3 hopes and dreams - THE DARKNESS IS SO THICK WE CAN TASTE IT
Post by: Pissy F Benny on June 10, 2021, 10:52:27 AM
What are we hoping for/expecting this year?

Personally, I will do just fine with a new Forza Horizon being announced for the xmas period, after putting 600 plus hours into FH4 I'm not really playing it much anymore and could use a new one soon Phil :hmph.

I've got to think MS will drop a ON GAMEPASS NOW biggie, but have no idea what it could be :trumps

Hot ass prediction: Square admit that Final Fantasy 16 is coming to the PS4.

I'm ready for... Well, what I want to see the most, is:

- Itsuno come out and confirm that Dragon's Dogma 2 is in the works

- Sony tease Bloodborne 2

- Wouldn't mind a trailer for FFVIIR Part 2 as well

All far stretches, but one can dream.

I could maybe see a Bloodborne 2 teaser and a Bloodborne remaster coming for PS5 this holiday season :thinking

Not sure what they could do that would really shock or excite me.

I feel like most of the stuff I want has been announced a while ago (new Mass Effect, Metroid Prime 4, BOTW2) and won't launch this year anyway.

Same pie-in-the-sky things I hope for every year - an offline, turn-based Phantasy Star 5 directed by Rieko Kodama, and a Skies of Arcadia 2 (also directed by Kodama).

Also - some more Trails announcements for the US market - Crossbell, Hajimari, Nayuta

Maybe another new RPG IP that's not set in a Japanese high school

So with that Rabbids 2, it sure seems to confirm the reddit leak of E3 games.

Nothing surprising in there except The Outer Worlds 2

 :noooo

Obsidian are good rpg devs, why are they wasting time on their worst franchise ever. The world setting is just incredibly dull. Feels like this is a result of the MS purchase since they threw Outer Worlds on Gamepass and probably a lot of people gave it a shot so MS saw big #s and wants it to be a new big MS franchise (except that it fucking sucks).
Title: Re: E3 hopes and dreams
Post by: Bebpo on June 12, 2021, 02:34:40 PM
What would be depressing as fuck is if Obsidian mostly bails on rpgs now under MS leadership and their only "rpg" franchise they do from here on out are Outer Worlds games.  :'(

All gonna depend on what that Josh Sawyer game is. It should be their biggest game in development post-Avowed. If it's not an rpg, Obsidian's future is fucked.
Title: Re: E3 hopes and dreams
Post by: Bebpo on June 12, 2021, 02:36:13 PM
Now that MS owns them, like I'd rather have MS stick them on an MS license turned rpg than more Outer Worlds. Halo rpg would be better than that. Forza rpg...I mean it still would be hard to be more boring than Outer Worlds!
Title: Re: E3 hopes and dreams
Post by: HardcoreRetro on June 12, 2021, 02:39:46 PM
Was it really that bad? I felt like the foundation for a good game was at least there and the combat managed to feel better than the entirety of Bethesda's output. Biggest problem was how segmented it was, I didn't care about any of the conflicts.
Title: Re: E3 hopes and dreams
Post by: Bebpo on June 12, 2021, 02:55:16 PM
The gameplay is uninteresting but fine. Needs more variety and some deeper skills/customization.

The problem is the setting is probably the worst setting an rpg has ever done. Even the characters are boring because they exist in this setting.

Making the world lore about a universe of soulless corporations and soulless stupid people working for them...is fun for about 5 mins. It's a one joke idea that can't support a full game and 2 expansions, let alone a sequel. The sooner they move on to something new the better.


At least Avowed is using Pillars worldlore, which is a pretty good D&D knockoff.

It's the joke we've been living our entire lives. I feel like the premise is fine, it's the writing overall that was a huge letdown.

This Rainbow Six Zombie game looks awful by the way.

I still haven't played Outer Worlds yet but two things to keep in mind:

1) Chris Avellone isn't with the company any more since he got cancelled, so their output is going to suffer compared to what they've done in the past and

2) Bebpo is a cool dude but has weird takes sometimes

:yeshrug

Yeah, losing Avellone is huge although it wasn't the cancelled thing. He parted ways on Pillars 2 and burnt bridges in forum posts mid-development. I feel like him and Sawyer butted heads over control since they co-wrote Pillars 1.

But Avellone being their strongest writer responsible for the majority of their interesting games was a huge blow. Sawyer is basically their only big gun story/writer/designer guy left and even at his best he can't write the quality of Avellone. Just look at Sawyer written Pillars 2 character/story-writing vs. Avellone written Pillars 1.

Still Sawyer is a very good game designer, has cool story ideas and is a solid writer (Pillars 2 is all of those things). So I'm still hyped for whatever he does next. But with Avellone gone, outside of a Sawyer project every 4-5 years, their output is probably just not gonna do it for me.

Although Tyranny, which was written by Matt MacLean, was pretty damn solid for a small scope project. I'd be up for whatever he writes next. Hopefully he's the writer on Avowed since Sawyer isn't involved.

I had zero expectations for this E3, and it's going worse than i had imagined. :doge

Ubisoft was awful, one of the most pointless conferences in memory, and i usually like Ubisoft games.

R6AlienGoo looks like the death of creativity.
Far Cry6 they couldn't even bother to show gameplay, and instead gave use some awful overacted cutscene, with their stupid villains that are all the same.

Then close with Avatar, which looked nice, but it's first person, so hard pass.

Goddamn man, i really hope MS and Nintendo are bringing SOMETHING. :fbm

Silver lining: Nothing past midnight, this year.

EDIT: Oh yeah i forgot about Mario, that looked alright i suppose, unfortunately i just don't care about it at all.
Still they had content for, like, a 30 minutes direct thing at best.

Talking about creativity is Nintendo just going to repeat the 2017 line-up?

2017 vs 2022
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild -> The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2
1-2-Switch ->
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe -> Mario Kart 9?
Arms -> Arms 2?
Splatoon 2 -> Splatoon 3
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle -> Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope
Pokkén Tournament DX
Fire Emblem Warriors
Super Mario Odyssey -> Super Mario Odyssey 2(?)
Snipperclips Plus
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 -> Xenoblade Chronicles 3(?)
[close]

I like how in the Rainbow Six demo they said something like: "And these guys are hard to take down in large numbers!" and there was literally 1 or 2 of those zombie things standing still in a hall way and they all take 1 shot to kill.  :doge :lol

I've completely given up on this year. Nintendo will probably focus this holiday on the Pokemon games and drop a few more Zelda ports for the anniversary.
Maybe they squeeze out a Donkey Kong game or another Star Fox or something. I don't see how they are going to announce a slate of interesting games that somehow ship between now and the release of Splatoon 3.

It'll probably look something like this

No More Heroes 3 - August
Fire Emblem: Radiant Saga(?) (remasters of GC and Wii Fire Emblem games) - September
Zelda something - October
Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl - November
Donkey Kong - November
Resident Evil Outrage - December

As for Microsoft, if they manage it'll be Psychonauts, HALO and Forza this year. Maybe that Rare thing ships early 2022. Starfield is probably their holiday 2022 headliner.
In an interview they said they want to release 1 first party game each quarter.

Character models look dated, but environments look quite great.  ???
Much like the latest AC games, and Watch Dogs, now that i think about it.

Title: Re: E3 hopes and dreams
Post by: Don Rumata on June 13, 2021, 05:38:28 AM
ACUnity had very good models (bugs aside) and then they kind of got stuck on a mediocre level ever since, for the most part.
They're not unwatchable, but if you come from something like Last of Us, or God of War, it's a pretty grim jump down.
Title: Re: E3 hopes and dreams
Post by: HardcoreRetro on June 13, 2021, 06:03:03 AM
Far Cry 6 looks like it's completely held back by the old gen. Far Cry 5 probably already pushed what the machines could do graphically. And it already had to cut certain simulations like foliage reacting to wind/the player character to make it happen. Shorter draw distance on the level of detail.
Title: Re: E3 hopes and dreams
Post by: Don Rumata on June 13, 2021, 06:40:20 AM
Obviously is held back from being cross gen (like most cross gen titles), but i think it looks good:
https://youtu.be/VbF6REQyel4

Like the forest shots around 1:40, the vista at 1:58, etc.

It doesn't look revolutionary, but it looks good, and compared to something like Horizon, it's obviously playing with a different rule-set (having planes/helicopters etc).

Aesthetically i don't like how dark it is, it's supposed to be Cuba, they could've gone with some more vibrant colors, less dark shadows, nice blue skies... but that's an artistic critique, more than a technical one.
Character models though look worse than even Valhalla.

Also Esposito's acting was awful in that cutscene they showed, and i know it's not his fault (because he can be great), probably whoever directed him was the culprit.
They feel like for a villain to be intense, they need to raise their voice every other sentence, it's so comical.
It worked for Vaas, but it's gotten old now.

I can imagine the woke folks calling them out on that shit, since it's the same thing that happens in movies set in middle-america. Just drop a yellow filter over it.

Your and my viewpoint on looking good is probably the difference between looking at the quality of the assets and the implementation of those assets. In parts these games manage to look worse than even Far Cry 4 cause the world is so goddamn static. The scene with the alligator jumping out of the water, the only thing I see is it clipping through the foliage instead of it pushing the plants out of the way. Even though the individual assets might be of a higher quality, the lower cohesiveness of the whole manages to make it feel worse to me.

Looks like they're really picking up the pace in 2022 if all this pans out.
They certainly have a lot announced and I'm excited for Stalker 2 and Age of Empires on PC.
Might also pick up that Diablo II remaster. GamePass continues to offer great value(TM)

Battlefield and Far Cry 6 look good also but will probably wait for reviews.

Forza Horizon 5 I'm not so sure about, seems to be the same game for the 3rd time in a row.  :doge

Oh and I have to admit, that mf Staten has me simping for Cortana again with those piano bleeps and slow motion shots
That's the first time in a long while I've seen a piece of content and immediatly thought: "Yep, that's HALO"

I love how Square Enix after all these years and billions still manages to be the garage developer that has absolutely no idea what they're doing.
Although I have to admit, it takes skill to take something like Guardians of the Galaxy and make it boring and to release a broken demo during E3 night.  :doge

This just looks like a crappy DMC game. I wonder if the NG3 team is doing it.

I feel like the tone of Chaos game is coming from the SE board and the crappiness of the engine/gameplay/gfx is coming from Team Ninja's low effort team.

Yes, angry man concept was Nomura. But you can have an angry man concept and have a good looking game come out of it. People sure like God of War. There's a lot of steps in-between. And this team at Team Ninja was responsible for most of those steps. This is not being developed in-house at SE.

Someone compared it to Other M, which is probably apt and the game will probably be about as good.

and going by the visuals, maybe they haven’t!

Yeah that whole thing felt like a game frozen in time since the 360 era. Everything from graphics, to character designs, to the 'attitude' and vibe of it.

That SE show was garbo. The FF pixel remasters (oh cool, a 2D remake of 3!!) are only on mobile and PC. Babylon's Fall is a service game. Everything else was cape shit or just plain shit. My most wanted game from them is a remake of a game from 1988.

It looks pretty Apex-y, and not just because of the grapple hooks. The first shot is of someone doing a crouch slide, but then the whole rest of the trailer you don't see anyone doing a crouch slide?

I know Halo optimism is frowned upon but this doesn't look half bad

The MS conference was very good in my opinion, but everything else was mostly pointless or disappointingly bad (like Ubi and SE).
Still there were a couple of cool games at the Future Games Show, surprisingly.

I think some key MIA titles (like FFXVI) were held back by Sony though, that for some reason decided to have their thing weeks from now.  ::)

I had no expectations going in though, so i'm cool so far, had a lot of fun watching even the bad conferences, because of the commentary of some steamers i follow that were ripping into them, but that's been true for years, i would never watch these conferences "clean".

EDIT: Forgot to say though, as much as i enjoyed the MS conf. not showing Halo's campaign was absurd, and closing with that game from Arkane was lame, i would've swapped and closed with Forza Horizon 5.

MS spent 20 years fucking over pc gamers with the Xbox (imploding good devs like ensemble, and their own pc game development houses), pushing the crap ass game for windows live that left a span of games broken nowadays unless the devs go back and rip out that shit out of them, then tried to push that universal windows platform shit instead of just keeping with win32, and that leaves a hot mess of encrypted, unviewable, unmoddable folders on my own goddamn pc.

Their store app is a is a dumpster fire that may or may not break installs, may or may not let you uninstall stuff at al even, and is still whack in 2021. So I’m not all on the MS hype train, I don’t care how much game developer welfare checks they are sending out nowadays.

That being said them buying out developers that were about dead (double fine, obsidian, inexile) or definitely starting to stumble (Bethesda Fallout 4, and 76), imo is the best possible shot I have at getting good fallout games again. Now if only obsidian would do New Vegas 2, and put a bullet in the head of Outer Worlds. I mean why settle for the dollar store diet version of new vegas, when they can make the real thing again.

Microsoft still owes us about $20 billion in video game development to undo all the damage they have caused but they seem really commited to live up to their end of the bargain and give us those games for 'free'.

Also with Joe Staten being Cortana's daddy again we might actually get good HALO's again.
With that said, still absolutely no reason to buy a Series X for a while yet as the games I'm most looking forward to (Age of Empires and Stalker 2) are both PC titles and the rest run fine on Xbox One X.
I guess at some point they're going to stop optimizing games for One X to speed that process along. Unlike last year they already stopped mentioning the Xbox One machines in their PR babble.

Another plus is that Microsoft had no audience. No employees clapping and hollering hysterically when they hear the word Xbox.

Game Pass isn't like XBL Gold. You don't own the games forever. So once a game leaves Game Pass or once your sub runs out, you can't play it anymore unless you buy it. They're on there for about a year once added though. That's a reasonable amount of time I think.

Xbox Studios games will be on there forever obviously.

To be fair most games are a one and done nowadays.

Ok... and? Not many people have played Yakuza 7 - now it's on GamePass. I paid full price for Yakuza 7. Doesnt affect me for shit, I'll go play something else, they can go play Yakuza 7

I think their point is that most games nowadays you don't need to own forever, because you play them once and move on, so something like Gamepass makes more sense in that context.
And if you really want to replay something, it's not like you're forbidden from buying it anyway.

Now a new report from Video Games Chronicle claims that the game missed yesterday's Xbox/Bethesda E3 2021 presentation because Everwild has been "completely rebooted" following the departure of creative director Simon Woodroffe. VGC also confirmed with Rare that Woodroffe has been replaced by Gregg Mayles. Apparently, the game is now "optimistically" planned for 2024, so fans might not be hearing more about it for some time.

In a statement to VGC, Rare's Louise O'Connor confirmed that Mayles has joined the team, but it should be noted that she did not address the rumored release window.

If there was anything of note it would've leaked or they've held it back like BOTW2 last year.
The Direct is slowly trickling out, they apparently told SEGA: "Hey you guys, we will drop this big Monkey Ball news in our Direct"

Imagine how big the other announcements are if they've reserved a 5 minute slot for a Monkey Ball remaster in the E3 show.

Shin Megami Tensei, Monkey Ball and Mario + Rabbids already 'leaked'.
Xenoblade, Resident Evil: Outrage and Wario Ware sort of leaked.

Nintendo also has 1 TreeHouse day instead of multiple days.
Yeah, I wouldn't expect much.

The 2022 games are probably Splatoon 3 and BOTW2 (their next 'big' releases. I'm leaning towards a summer release for Splatoon 3 and a holiday release for Zelda).
Other than that it's 2021 stuff and if there was something 'big' they would've already announced it before. They could surprise drop a Xenoblade game or another Fire Emblem remaster next to the usual suspects like Kirby but that's about it.

Strategically for Nintendo it's better to curbstomp the Switch Pro hype so it doesn't eat into existing Switch sales.
A very dissapointing showing and dangling the BOTW2 carrot while the parents and kiddo's buy Pokemon and Mario Golf would do just that.
Maybe we get lucky and Platinum Games needs the money so they finished Bayonetta 3.

FF 1-6 having split release windows for pc vs consoles is not really all that surprising.  “Square-Enix tax” and all that, this is a company that fucking loves ever so slightly revised rereleases.   Maybe their I Ching sticks that morning read that releasing simultaneously would cause great catastrophe for the company.

Turned it on and saw Kazuya- thought they were finally porting Tekken 7 but nope, lol.

MUTHA FUCKIN' METROID DREAD, Fatal Frame, SMT5, Wario Ware, and Advance Wars?  Good stuff from Nintendo.  Finally someone shows some interesting games.

That first Hyrule Warriors DLC was LOL, though.  One new character?  C'mon.

My theory (which is obviously correct) is that they had originally targeted 2021 for both BotW2 and Switch Pro, but due to *gestures vaguely at everything* BotW2 dev time took longer than expected and there was not enough supply of parts to justify a Switch Pro release with severely limited quantity and no new marquee game to move units anyway.

I wonder if Metroid Dread got approved because of how long Prime 4 is taking.
:hmm

Also guessing that this "IT'S COMING THIS WEEK!  NO, NEXT WEEK!  NO, NEXT MONTH I SWEAR!" Switch Pro isn't releasing until Zelda BOTW2 does, but you never know since they could just drop another Direct for in a couple of months.  Ditto for stuff like Bayo 3.  Speaking of which, Platinum just now released a DLC update for their Wonderful 101 ports with a new mode.  They seem to be behind on things.

That was underwhelming.

Starting with fucking Smash DLC made it feel like some shitty shadow drop direct, not an E3 direct.

The only time I got really excited was Super Monkey Ball, but I guess the rest was ok too.

Says a lot about the quality of the others' conferences when a middle of the road direct is declared "da winna"!!!!

I'm skeptical of Metroid just because of amount of game we're getting for $60. If it's less than 10 hours I'll bite on a $40 sale but not at $60 on release day.

First good Nintendo conference in like 6 or 7 years  :anhuld Would be better with more new games, but eh. If the people in charge can't get things right anyway, remakes for Monkey Ball and Mario Party or Advance Wars will do. SMTV looks great, but still cautious about too much bad animue after SMT4A. Metroid Dread looks good, but cautious that Mercury Steam can improve their level design. Wario looks very good.

Beware of Fatal Frame 5, it's very boring.

Post by: Nintex on June 15, 2021, 03:22:37 PM
My take on the Direct
- It really was a throw shit at the wall and see what sticks direct, bunch of games that could easily be completed in 12 months or less (Advance Wars Remaster / Wario Ware) or dragged out of development hell (Metroid Dread)

My take on Switch Pro
- Nintendo messed around with Realtek SOC's and tried to find a part with AMD but settled for Nvidia in the end.
It is more likely that Switch Pro is a 'next gen' upgrade, doesn't make much sense to release a slightly souped up Switch this late in the game.


I don't understand why people are so bullish on this Direct.
Nintendo scraped by with the bare minimum. I guess expectations were so low that Wario Ware, Advance Wars and 2.5D Metroid are enough.
Essentially all 'budget' titles. Remember we are at the same point in the cycle when the Switch replaced the Wii U. Microsoft did better.

I love Metroid games and I will get Dread day 1 and likely also Advance Wars so I'll probably buy both at $60 anyway.
But even I have to admit. It's not a big production like Zelda BOTW2.

Budget = smaller scale production, Nintendo prices everything at $60 and I'm in the camp that has no trouble with $60 / 4 hour games.
It's just that, I don't understand why people are so bullish on this Direct it was light on content at the end of the day and a whole bunch of projects and studios didn't show up.

Compare this line-up to what they dropped in 2017 (same point in the cycle).
It's another weak year overall.

Also Kazuya in Smash is boring as an end pick.

I like Tekken a little, and I think putting him in and more fighting game characters in Smash is fine. But he's an unexciting character that you reveal early on. These last few slots should've been reserved for big deal shit like when they got Sephiroth.

metroid dread looks maybe ok? im not convinced. didn't communicate any of the classic metroid atmosphere that oozes out of every area in super metroid. maybe that's because of the voiceover idk. not a fan of the art direction or the blue wall hang sections littered all over the place, but samus's movement and animations look damn nice

Honestly, outside of Final Fantasy Chaos Legion, nothing was embarrassing. Plenty of games. Most of them look solid.

A very safe and boring E3. Like the year it was in a hanger or whatever. Which makes sense given the strange era we are in.

I've been reading CHAOS impressions and apparently people like the demo?

Sounds like it's a reskinned Nioh 2 early alpha, but because of that it actually plays fairly well and is fun outside the PS3 gfx and cringe story stuff. Could end up sorta ok. Also Garland is the demo boss so people think they're holding back a whole of and everything in the trailer was like the first hour vertical slice.

I guess I should try downloading it and giving CHAOS a shot.

There looks to be destroyed cityscape environments.

But I also don't know why an abstract desert wasteland is unSMT.

3 also took you through strange environments and I wouldn't say it really leaned all into Cyberpunk. It  leaned way more into hindu and east Asian atmosphere. This looks to be continuing that, but without the cold 90s art of Kaneko.


I don't know, looks fine to me. Taking ques from Tokyo Mirage's battle system is also good.

The game apparently makes reference to a war between angels and demons 18 years ago aka 2003 aka nocturne release date.

I bet that + the timing of nocturne remake mean this game is set after SMT3 as a direct sequel. the similar overworld makes sense if so.

I can’t blame anyone for expecting Nintendo to reveal a New Nintendo Switch or Nintendo Switch Pro or Super Nintendo Switch or what have you alongside E3 2021. It seemed far more likely than Metroid Dread being revived, at least. Not only is E3 the biggest video game industry event of the year, but the months leading up to the show were full of credible reporting about an imminent Switch-related announcement.

With Nintendo you never know. They could announce it the day after E3 or they canned it because they weren't happy with the product. :trumps
If it was supposed to be at E3 there should've been more signs. With the state Zelda was in this definitely wasn't one of those "oops we pulled it at the last minute"

I was thinking during the announcement of Kazuya in Smash, how lame it is, to have fighting game characters as guests in a fighting game like Smash.

What was fun about Smash was seeing characters that didn't usually fight (or fight like that) in a fighting context, like Mario, Ness, Kirby etc.
To have characters who already fighting game characters in, is just boring.

I get that it's a pedigree thing, but i guess i'm also one of those thinking the game should be less FGC style shit, and more party game.

I feel like there's enough legit smoke for there to be a fire (the big tell is the screen manufacturer mentioning it on an earnings call or whatever)

The delay is probably a combo of the chip shortage, Zelda delay due to pandemic/whatever, and The Nintendo Difference: Please Understand™

On the one hand I have some level of sympathy for the "games journalists" who were just reporting what are most likely legit leaks from reputable sources, on the other hand who doesn't love a good dragging of the self important wankers that make up that esteemed club (also I am constitutionally incapable of NOT trolling nintendo/ninthings when the opportunity arises, so)

They weren't just wrong about the Switch Pro, they were wrong on basically everything.
From Metroid Prime Trilogy to a Zelda Anniversary collection.

Nintendo pulled a fast one and dug up Metroid Dread, which they mostly stopped talking about last year.
Everything Nintendo showed wasn't on their lists.

Here's the thing- I could see how vague leaks led to those rumors.

Source at Nintendo, knowing about Metroid Dread: "Prime 4 is still in development, no news about that but there's something metroid related"

Idiot games journalist: ZOMG A HD PRIME TRILOGY, MAKES PERFECT SENSE

Source at Nintendo, knowing about BS game and watch: "There will be a Zelda anniversary announcement/collection"

Idiot games journalist: ZOMG ZELDA ANNIVERSARY COLLECTION JUST LIKE MARIO CONFIRMED

The problem is that they don't just report the vague rumors as they get them, it's almost assuredly that they try to extrapolate and figure out what Nintendo is going to do

For me it's not desert setting (as SMT3 had that) but tone. All the colors. The brightness. It looks pop to be SMT, which has origins in horror. Nothing about that trailer or video speaks anything of the horror elements of SMT's past.

I watched the PV and it confirmed my feelings. It's trying extremely hard to look cool, it's almost embarrassing. Sliding down deserts, looking all anime. I like SMT because, for the most part, it's subdued. This is extremely extra. :idont I won't be purchasing it.

Certainly, there could be horror in it, but the way they're marketing it says otherwise. Better to trust what they're showing rather than putting all hope that it's traditional Megaten horror. I'll replay past games instead.

I wouldn't read much into it. It's a Japanese game on Switch, it'll obviously have some weebness in it and an anime look (as the system doesn't do realism well) but that doesn't necessarily mean the entire game is.

It's really interesting how gamers are incapable of targeting someone's main points. Only one person brought up the desert setting, and it wasn't me.

The Japanese trailer pretty clearly has some horror/creepy scenes and the game takes place during a demonic apocolypse/biblical war.

Complaining it's not like Strange Journey meaning it's not real SMT seems weird considering if anything that Strange Journey is the outlier.

It being set in antartica instead of tokyo and having the obvious western sci fi/The Thing influence makes it kinda feel like it's own thing. I think that's probably why they called it SJ instead of SMT 4. Of the mainline SMT games I've played 3, 4 and SJ I would say SJ is the most overtly horror one.

It's also weird to get up in arms because the main character has a anime kamen rider/super sentai vibe (nothing new considering past demon designs in SMT) when SMT has always had anime stuff in it.

Also: people talking online about what is and isn't real SMT is exhausting to me. I came late. I haven't played SMT 1 or 2, and I don't really care what is and isn't real SMT. SMT branded games and spinoffs have such a broad variety of settings, themes and vibes that if I see demons, apocalyptic setting and press turn i'm down.

If gamers are incapable of arguing then I think they are also incapable of accepting media changes.

SMT 1 and 2 came out in the 90s. An era of extreme multi media computer focus. An era where something like Lain and it’s depiction of computers seemed plausible.  It’s look and tone reflect that era. SMT3 doesn’t reflect that look and tone either. Neither does 4. The series has changed with the influence of the time. If you don’t like the look that’s fine. But the trailer displayed plenty of horror like creatures. So it hasn’t dropped that.

Yeah it doesn’t look very cyberpunk. It does look like more modern anime. But as awesome as the character art is in these games. It’s not like Kaneko’s art wasn’t out there for 90s aesthetic.

It for sure is lacking the grit and grime of the early games. And the music and visuals don't remind me of the quiet abstract apocalypse feeling of 3. It's a bit more bright and colorful sure.

I still think it looks solid. It certainly doesn't look like some cheerful jpop jrpg or something though.
