Will Atlus cancel 13 Sentinels if no one buys the paid demo?
- Thread starter duckroll
- Start date
I honestly haven't heard anything from this game except the first announcement I thought this was cancelled
I don't think it matters to them if anyone buys the paid demo or not since I doubt they get any royalties. If the game does get cancelled, whether they fold or not will depend on how soon they can find another publisher for a project I guess?
No way they'd dump all the assets. Maybe reboot it, but /shrug.
You mean Konami? Unless I'm blanking.
Quite likely. And even if they don't, I think the game will perform much worse than vanillaware's previous titles.
I, for one, will not purchase this or the final game, despite being a fan of vanillaware and bought muramasa and all its dlc, bought dragon's crown twice, and bought the 3d crystal version of Odin Sphere.

I think is a bit disingenuous calling it a paid demo, its a Prologue game, like some other developers did already.
On the topic if its good ill buy it.

Not really. It's the opening 3 hours of the game, not anything different. Also, save progress won't carry through to the final release (which has no date).
It's a demo, since it's the same content.
They announced last month that they are releasing the Prologue as a retail and digital product in March (Japan only). It will include 3 hours worth of game, consisting of the prologue for all 13 characters. The retail demo is 30 bucks and comes with a mini artbook and mini soundtrack. And a nice box. The save data is not transferrable to the full game.
Yes, they are Ground Zeroing it.
For those that don't know, it's an Atlus + Vanillaware 2D game.
It was announced back on TGS 2017.
TGS 2015 to be exact.
Ah, that Vanillaware game.Okay.
Uhm, maybe? I had the impression that their games are pretty niche. I do enjoy them, tho.
More serious answer: I have no clue why Atlus does half of what it does.
MML3
Huh. I don't remember the 2015 trailer. That's a long time to not even have a final release date.
It wouldn't surprise me, this game has been essentially vaporware and, considering how little anybody even knows about it, I doubt it would be truly missed, if I'm being perfectly honest.
I didn't realise this was out so soon.
I'm guessing they would either cancel it entirely or reboot it. But I wouldn't be surprised if the demo is just them pulling together everything they have and seeing if it's even worth continuing development. It just seems very odd for progress to not transfer over for such a sizeable chunk of a game.

It's probably all they have, which is kinda sad considering it's been in development for so long.
No you can also get it digitally on PSN for like 10 bucks as part of a theme+avatar combo pack. Alternatively they are also "giving away" the demo with retail re-releases of Odin Sphere and Dragon's Crown coming out about the same time.
Atlus is really trying to sell the demo to people.
I have no idea, but if this project isn't going anywhere, I rather them just cancel it and move on.
Yeah, it's been in development hell for years, for something that's only been described as an "adventure" game.

Did I just spot a Chie in there?
First they need to tell us what the heck is the actual gameplay. Second, hell no I won't buy it despite purchasing multiple copies of all the PS3/Vita/PS4 Vanillaware games.
Seems to me like this paid demo is a last-ditch effort to make some money off this project before cancelling the project and maybe shuttering the developer.
Didn't they say that it would be a Visual Novel like Danganronpa?
They did. It's an adventure game where you walk around and talk to people.
Why would they do this, release a paid demo, is it a Japanese culture thing that I just dont get?
