ATLUS Reassures Fans On Future Releases After Bankruptcy Filing

ATLUS’ mother company Index Corporation filed for the Japanese equivalent of a soft bankruptcy procedure this morning, but the software house took it to twitter today to let people know that things aren’t as bad at they sound, and fans can expect at least the most immediate future releases to continue as planned.

I will be showing my continued support for Atlus, which is easily one of my favorite publishers. I really hope as more and more people learn about true gaming quality they will do the same.
I hope that if they every do become massively successful that they don't let greedy vultures send them on the path that Capcom took.

clrlite3956d ago

I never forget the classics.

justastranger103955d ago

Another company goes down due to used games. If there only was a system in place to protect developers. *coughXboxonecough*

miyamoto3956d ago

Dragon's Crown Day One Digital for me!

VileAndVicious3956d ago

Dragons crown wasn't really on my radar before. But I will definitely be checking it out on release. I kind of dig vanilla ware

VileAndVicious3956d ago (Edited 3956d ago )

please please PLEASE dont let anything happen to the Persona series....my heart cant take it lol.

BitbyDeath3956d ago

Nintendo should snag em, they would make for a great fit.

Lord_Sloth3956d ago

More Sony's speed than Nintendo's.

Abriael3956d ago (Edited 3956d ago )

To limit them to outdated consoles? No. Thank you very much.

Besides, ATLUS loves its adult themes, that definitely aren't in tune with Nintendo.

edit @below: there's a large difference between releasing on a company's system and being owned by that company. The first option does not involve abiding to that company's philosophy, the second does.

NihonjinChick3956d ago

They've done tons of games on Nintendo systems before.

LOGICWINS3956d ago (Edited 3956d ago )

The Persona series isn't known to push hardware. All of them have ended up on Sony handhelds.

And they've released plenty of games for Nintendo systems.

Kenshin_BATT0USAI3956d ago

I think they should continue to be third party. They've released amazing games on every platform they've touched.

Seriously stoked for SMT4!!

AdvanceWarsSgt3956d ago (Edited 3956d ago )

Outdated hardware = bad games?

God current gamers have such terrible opinions on what makes games good.

edit: Gotta love the die-hard Sony fans on this site. They'll disagree with any comment that doesn't paint Sony as our Lord and Savior.

OhMyGandhi3956d ago (Edited 3956d ago )

@AdvanceWarsSgt

Outdated hardware does not constitute to "bad games" but, why should developers limit themselves when there are better options?

I've owned tons of Nintendo Consoles, all Playstation systems, and have had both Xboxs, I consider myself entirely unbiased, as every system has it's strengths and weaknesses, I just wish your opinion was a bit more constructive as to how Abriael was being unreasonable for his own opinion, as he continued with stating the very NATURE of Atlus's game may not stand with the family-orientated values of Nintendo.
Nothing at all against them.

AdvanceWarsSgt3955d ago (Edited 3955d ago )

@RustedMan

I have no problem with Abriael's opinion on Nintendo's core demographic, as I would agree that Nintendo doesn't cater much, if at all, to the mature gamer. My only issue was with his first statement, in which there is an implication that the technical performance of the hardware translates to better games.

For instance, would anyone really say the PS3 made SSX 2012 a better game than SSX3? Because I would say no, and I would also say that, despite being on the PS2, SSX3 is the superior game, "outdated hardware" and all.

Sony needs competition to keep them grounded.
Nintendo needs to hang around and hopefully mature a bit.

Xof3956d ago

I think it would b best if ATLUS would remain independent.

But if they do have to be bought up, I agree--Nintendo would certainly make a much better parent company than most others.

These same people think Teddie is Atlus mascot

kewlkat0073956d ago

That really sucks...I've liked their games...More devs continue to plummet, I'm not that confident when next-gen comes around, all the decent ones will only survive with publishers funding. The smalls ones will wither away.

Publishers with lots of money will take less risk. We will see games that only cater to the majority. Sorta like what happened to TV and reality shows.

LOGICWINS3956d ago

No, the small devs will simply revert to handhelds due to the much lower dev costs. Persona 5 could be a Vita exclusive.

Abriael3956d ago

Atually ATLUS itself is doing well. It's the mother company that had money troubles.

Kenshin_BATT0USAI3956d ago

Not even money troubles. They were involved in a scandal apparently, which made it seem like they were earning far more than they actually were.

Either way, hopefully Atlus lives through this because they are probably one of the best JPN studios currently.

Abriael3956d ago

@Vashlion: mostly it was money troubles generated by the bankrupcy of a Japanese bank that killed a lot of the small companies of their network and caused a lot of credit insolvency in their disfavor.

Why mention PS5 when talking about PS3

334d ago
Magog334d ago

The load times in retrospect are unbearable but I did have hella fun playing couch co-op with my gf on the PS3 and PS2.

anast334d ago

Couch co-op is the best alternative.

Rynxie334d ago

Resistance 2 co-op was amazing! I wish they would remaster resistance 1-3 and killzone 1-3 for the PS5.

1Victor210d ago (Edited 210d ago )

Let me save you the time to scroll down no Warhawk or Starhawk, 2 of the best co-op games on PS3

I have a friend who still has a sealed copy of Folklore. I’m sure it’s worth more now than it was when it released but I’m not sure how much more.

1126d ago Replies(1)
franwex1126d ago

Bought it for $5 at Walmart. I have yet to play it. But I did open it to look at it. Heh.

phoenixwing1126d ago

the game is actually good. I'd rather buy and play it than keep a sealed copy

Indigon1126d ago

Yeah I gave my brother my PS3 for free with a lot of games but I kept Folklore.

Teflon021125d ago

Folklore is an amazing game. Should have bought 2 copies. 1 to play and one to keep

Seraphim1125d ago

yeah I still have a sealed copy of Folklore too. I almost never do this but I had originally rented it. One day I saw it for like $20 at Walmart so picked up a copy. Always meant to re-play it but just never did. I think in part because it never got trophy support[?]. It was an interesting and unique game that didn't get the love it deserved.

I see Trails of Cold Steel II is tagged. Not sure where PS3 prices sit but the PS4 version of both Trails I and II were around $140 as recently as a little over a month ago. Ended up buying both of them digitally then buying III and IV on disc. Shame I kept putting off buying them. Just a couple months prior you could still get them both for about $45 each. Anyway I'm almost finished with II and hopefully be playing III and IV next.

Petebloodyonion1125d ago

I would suggest using price charting to evaluate the value of a past game.
https://www.pricecharting.c...
value for the game new is 60$

Hawk1986661125d ago

Its not worth much, about £20.

monkey6021125d ago

I want Folklore. I've been trying to find it for some time now. It's one of the only games set in Ireland so I've been busting to play it some time

Godmars2901126d ago

And wait for emulation and/or till their PS3 dies?

franwex1126d ago

3D Dot Game Heroes is a cool game that may soon go up in price too. I enjoyed it.

Indigon1126d ago

That's one that has been quite hard to find for some time.

Godmars2901125d ago (Edited 1125d ago )

At least you didn't own ALL Panzer Dragoon entries only to sell them all on ebay.

Don't talk to me about seller's regret...

nommers1126d ago

I'm so glad I kept my copy of this game.

Soy1125d ago

Great game, lots of fun - and definitely tougher to find. I'm glad I kept mine.

Teflon021125d ago

Glad I still have it. One of my fav games that gen

PS1, PS2 and PS3 BC right now is pointless. The top games are extremely overpriced or aren't available anywhere anymore. The best that can happen is Sony putting all the games on the PSN and/or PS Now. That way we all can play the classics, with trophies and some optimizations.

Godmars2901125d ago

Pointless, unless you have a 2st stage production model PS3.

One have to get fixed, but still, I've got it.

gold_drake1125d ago

exvuse me
i still play games on my ps2.

Gardenia1125d ago

That's because you only think about yourself. 90% of gamers don't have PS1, PS2 or PS3 games lying around. What do think is going to happen when there is BC and games like Vagrant Story, MGS, Suikoden 2 will be on sale? The few that are will be sold for hundreds of Euro's/Dollars.

Digital is the only option for everyone to be able to play those games.

gold_drake1125d ago (Edited 1125d ago )

ooff yea im only thinking about myself by playing my ps2 games haha.
the whole point about my reply was that, BC is not pointless. alot of ppl still have their old games mind you.

HankHill1125d ago

Nobody agrees with you so I guess you're the one only thinking about themself.

TheColbertinator1125d ago

Still have the Neptunia box sets unopened. Every year they get more valuable
