Atlus is the developer of all the SMT games, so naturally their USA division does the localization work. They have no EU presence, so SEGA publishes the games themselves there.

Jesus fuck Sony needs to get their shit together. I was bored and decided to browse games on the PS store, sorted by most recent release. Some faggot has 4 games called “Pretty Bird” on there that are all the same thing, released 2 days apart from each other with sequel numbering. It’s basically a much shittier version of that old 1990’s browser game SkiFree.
Part of me thinks good on him for taking advantage of retards for money, but I’d prefer he did it somewhere I didn’t have to see his garbage. Fuck you, Sony. Fix your shit.

Did you ever see the thing they released with Black Flag? Probably was after that. But it was a site that tracked all your achievements from all your AC, had different unlocks, different DNA story stuff. Seemed like it had a ton going on behind the scenes. Then it pretty much disappeared one day it seemed.

it boggles the mind how retarded the person in charge of marketing at ubisoft is. I've played every Assassins Creed game, ups and downs but still I enjoy the franchise.
Why the fuck would you announce so many games at once? I have no idea whats coming out and if you throw 3-4 things at me I'm just going to ignore you. You throw out that much shit and it just tells me you are a toddler desperate for attention. It doesn't help that everything out of Ubisoft now is mediocre, AT BEST, and if you just wait 6 months it'll be 75% off, wait a year or two and it'll probably be free somewhere.
Why is the one thats coming out first where you play as Basim $50? I dunno, seems weird and tells me you don't value your own game, why the fuck should I value it at all? Why would you announce a mobile game and one or two more games on the same day?
So weird and stupid, almost feels like the person in charge hates their own company and is self sabotaging.

Ayo, hold up
I'm not sure Infinity is going to be an MMO-like platform, but rather a Battle.net type hub for all their games. Kind of weird and not sure what the point is. But as far as I can tell:
-AC China is some sort of cash-grab from working with Tencent to release an AC game in China
-AC Mirage (800s Baghdad) is likely 2023 and a shorter game
-Red/Japan and Hexe (1600s Germany) are probably 2025 and close together like Unity/Rogue, Hexe will be a shorter old-school AC like Mirage while Red/Japan will be a huge-sized one like the last few
Hopefully Mirage is 2023, Hexe is 2024, and Red is 2025, but it sounds like they want Hexe and Red co-releasing. Whatev
All in all this is pretty good news outside of squandering an idea on a mobile game. Also Red is a pretty tame name. I'd call it Bushido or something else more recognizable.

I think there is room in the industry for someone to start a company that hosts all these dying games. Just a game thats hosted in perpetuity, where even if you're the only person playing - you can log in and do stuff if you want to. It's not like a server cant host multiple games. Depending on the size of the player base, could outsource some cash shop stuff to be implemented. Pay yourself/company first, then some percentage back to the original developer after the fact. Im just spitballing of course, but Im sure there are multiple ways a company could profit off of "dead games" without being a slumlord cash shop.
Just think, as the years pass, how many current games are setup as a GAAS that will be shut down. Division, Destiny, Anthem etc. - all of which can continue to be represented by their parent company, but the player logs into a separate companies servers. I just think games that are already coded for GAAS being shut down is a waste.

Similarly, I think there's room in the industry for someone to produce retro-style "main series" games.
Not just like, remastering Goldeneye and other games of that era.
I mean, say, making new Mario games in the SNES style. It's years between mainline releases now for Mario/Metroid/Zelda. Why not put out old-school entries in-between? They could crank out a new 2D Mario with the Mario World or NSMB engine every Christmas if they wanted to, with minimal money and dev resources. Or a Zelda game with the LTTP engine. Or Metroid games in the Super Metroid engine. It'd be like what some of us grew up with again, instead of the current paradigm of "game announced, wait six years".
