North America gears up for a Strange Journey

10 de Enero de 2010 por cj iwakura en www.digitaldevildb.com

Atlus USA’s website for Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey is now online. SJ marks the series’ Nintendo DS debut and according to the website is slated for a March 23rd release.

Mark your calenders and cancel all engagements!!

Included are a handful of character bios, as well as some background info on the gameplay and general setting, and some series history.

Much like the old Super Famicom Shin Megaten games, Strange Journey consists primarily of immense first person dungeons. There will also be demon recruitment, endings that vary based on alignment, and cryptic white-haired characters who may or may not be fallen angels in disguise.

UPDATE: The website has completed its move…

30 de Noviembre de 2009 por Digital Devil Database en www.digitaldevildb.com

If you’re reading this, basic services appear to be back to normal. If you’re not reading this you’re seeing the old server. Name server lookups should become consistent over the next day or so.

Stay tuned, more information to come.

We seem to have entered a bit of a lull coma…

22 de Septiembre de 2009 por yksehtniycul en www.digitaldevildb.com

On an up note the website is back, and its future is more secure than ever. However, what little creative interest we’ve been able to sustain since the first downtime late last year is now (after our second, and what should be final, downtime) at an all time low. In fact there appears to be no party interested in contributing new content to the website.

That said we still have administrative and editorial staff eager and available to assist any fans who would be interested in helping to expand the website. A long term commitment is not even necessary. As always, just drop us a line in the website BBS and we will see that your contribution however great or small is made available to our readership.

The website will not be going anywhere in the meantime, and we still field a lot of traffic everyday. Generally about 300 people visit the site about 1000 times a day like clockwork. We are still the premier source for in-depth Megaten info in English. We know the site could be a much better resource, but its up to Megami Tensei fans everywhere to see to that. Details follow.

This host’s response time can be a little slower than the last. And has a knack for not returning from long jobs such as complex searches - like the discussion link below. On the other hand we can now host large files including video. Our stay here will be only temporary however. A very feature rich server with the works is slated to host the website. Unlike previous transitions this move will be seamless, and open up a world of possibilities. We will retain the use of this present server for hosting unlimited downloads which will then no longer compete with or impede the performance of the website.

I am personally repairing the site to all its former glory and hopefully more. However my enthusiasm for these labors is only so much as the creative outlook here. We did loose a number of files, but have backups on hand which will find their way to our new host in course. A few features are probably broken. But will be back in time. Worst of all Google has forsaken digitaldevildb.com. Taking with it our ability to search the website. We are seeking alternatives for indexing its content. If you can run a YaCy service for us (you can do this from your home broadband connection) please get in touch. Google dumped us like all websites it owes their first 100$ and considers insignificant. The official reason given by Google is “invalid clicks” which supposedly occurred during the downtime (that is when the website was inaccessible!!) —no further comment. Unfortunately this is Google’s M.O. …and we learned it the hard way, after investing a lot of time and expectations into Google. From now on the website will officially boycott Google and Hostpapa.com who acted unethically like all too many webhosting companies and is completely responsible for all of the havoc wreaked upon this website not caused by Google. With Google’s 100$ goes any definite means of financing the website. If you would like to donate/advertise your Megaten website on our site please don’t hesitate to seek our audience. We have it in our todo list to setup a proper system for doing so.

Last but not least, we’ve become a reluctant branch of the “Megami Tensei Wiki” at megamitensei.wikia.com. Time will tell if our branch will or won’t become the dominant of the two. The decision to do so was completely necessary by the most basic of ethical standards. Two out of three sysops (including myself) made the decision to do so with the encouragement of the third and Wikia staff. We will hopefully find the time and initiative to document these circumstances along with the rest of the wiki. You can edit the wiki at wiki.digitaldevildb.com/wiki/. This branch of the wiki is now the source of content retrieved by our wiki pages at www.digitaldevildb.com/wiki/.

SMT: Viaje Extraño esta siendo desarrollado para Nintendo DS

24 de Julio de 2009 por Emilio Morales en www.digitaldevildb.com

Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey, el siguiente título de la franquicia de Megaten, ha sido confirmado como un juego en desarrollo para la consola portátil de Nintendo, el Nintendo DS. El éxito de Megami Ibunroku Devil Survivor fue un gran hit, y parece que inspiro a Atlus con el desarrollo del siguiente juego en la misma consola. Esta ves, Kazuma Kaneko tomará el cargo como diseñador de demonios y personajes así como el rol de productor. Otros miembros del equipo de desarrollo incluyen: Eiji Ishida (Director) - Shogo Isogai (Escenario) - Shoji Meguro (Compositor)



La historia? Eres un soldado enlistado como miembro de un grupo de exploradores [principalmente científicos y otros soldados] que son enviados a investigar una fisura de dimensión en el Polo Sur. Hay 4 diferentes tripulantes en el equipo de exploración, cada uno en diferente barco: Red Sprite No. 1 es donde residen los comandantes; Blue Jet No. 2 y Gigantic No. 4 tripulado por expertos en combate, y Elves No. 3 son los científicos.

Para poder sobrevivir en esta realidad alternativa, los científicos han creado el Demonica Suits; armaduras que incrementan las habilidades humanas y que pueden ser modificadas. Los exploradores aleados también juegan un papel importante en la historia; no podrás ganar solo. Las interacciones que tengas con tus compañeros afectarán el progreso de la historia.

Con aproximadamente 300 demonios, incluyendo nuevos diseños de Kaneko nunca antes vistos, las batallas serás mas aya de insípidas. Estos demonios podrán ser reclutados como aleados a través de negociaciones y fusiones de los mismo. Demonios aleados serán capaces de darte misiones para obtener items raros, así como para realizar ataques en equipo con aleados u otros demonios integrantes del grupo.

El juego será lanzado el 8 de Octubre de 2009 en Japón; aún no se ha anunciado ninguna fecha de lanzamiento para ningún otro lado. Será un juego de RPG en primera persona de Nintendo DS con un precio de 6,279¥. No hay mención de alguna “innovadora” función del Stylus. Este juego no tiene ningún “IV” en el nombre, por lo que no es el juego de SMT de siguiente generación que los fans han estado esperando, pero parece fantástico hacia las series de Shin Megami Tensei sin duda.

El sitio del teaser será reemplazado con la página oficial muy pronto, así que prepárense para visitarla cuando este abierta al público.

Shin Megami Tensei: Viaje Extraño

17 de Julio de 2009 por Emilio Morales en www.digitaldevildb.com

ATLUS ha habilitado una página donde anuncia la siguiente entrega de la franquicia de Megaten la cual porta el nombre “Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey”. Una imagen en mosaico que muestra el planeta Tierra con una gran implosión en el Polo Sur y con las frases como: “Esta es la mano de un soldado. Es digna de confianza”, “Para nosotros, es esperanza”, “No se pierdan de sitio”, “Has venido de un rico país solo para morir?”, “Por el futuro de la humanidad, mantengamos en pie” y “Polo Sur”.

Junto a eso, un blog Japonés, encontró dentro del código de la página una imagen que al parecer es el logo de esta entrega.

El juego será anunciado el 24 de Julio. Y al parecer el juego será lanzado para Japón el 8 de Octubre. Será una secuela? un spinoff? Para qué consola será? Espero que pronto lo sepamos.

CAVE no longer blocking gaijin IMAGINE IPs

19 de Junio de 2009 por yksehtniycul en www.digitaldevildb.com

Short and sweet, this is a courtesy sticky, to be removed, letting our loyal readers know account holders are no longer being denied access to their IMAGINE accounts in Japan under the auspices of CAVE. As a fellow long-time IMAGINE player, this is good news and cause for celebration. Yee-hah!

Fredric Paul’s article touched off a discussion with some colleagues of mine, who agreed that Google abuses has become careless thanks to its “monopoly” with AdSense by (among other things) callously dropping AdSense participants for alleged click fraud without a reasonable appeals policy. A request for an explanation fell on deaf ears, and my colleague was left with the impression that Google “would have been more likely to work with me,” if it weren’t in such a strong position.
