Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers Gameplay Steamed
posted on by Joseph First
The official website for Atlus's port of Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers is currently streaming two gameplay videos showing upgrades made to the game in the new edition. Enterbrain's Famitsu website previously streamed a promotional video for the Nintendo 3DS title.
The port will feature a new opening sequence by the animation studio Satelight (Macross Frontier, Aquarion Evol, Mōretsu Pirates, AKB0048). The game will also feature the original opening anime sequence. Famitsu is currently hosting screenshots from the new opening sequence as well as character designs.
The game will also include full voicing of dialogue, with Minako Kotobuki playing Hitomi and Nemissa. Other cast members include Kazuya Nakai, Daisuke Ono, Yūki Kaji, and Chiwa Saitō. As in other Megami Tensei games, the protagonist does not have a name or a voice.
The game will feature smoother animation as well as quicker loading and response times. The game revolves around the members of a hacker group called "Spookies" who fight against a huge conspiracy.
The original Devil Summoner: Soul Hacker video game was released on the Sega Saturn in 1997 and then on the PlayStation console in 1998. The original game was never released in English. Atlus will release the Nintendo 3DS port in Japan on August 30.
