It does look like there's a literal vaseline filter over the entire screen, so I assume this is mostly a bug, but perhaps not one you can address without rewriting how the final image is constructed. I imagine it's not rendering natively, but using some reconstruction and something is going very wrong there.
EDIT:
I can even make out a literal grid pattern in there. Man, that's some rough shit
It took Guerrilla like 4 months to fix horizon FW's completely busted performance mode and this is SE we're talking about so I don't expect it'll get fixed at all unless sony pays them to do a Pro patch I guess. This was the one shot we had. I was surprised they even addressed it at all on twitter lol

It's the latter, the trailer itself says "Experience the definitive version of SMTV and witness a brand new chapter". So basically the "FES/Golden/Royal" version.
It's an updated rerelease. You can tell because of the new waifu.
Yeah but it also said something like "An Untold Shin Megami Tensei V story", which seemed like it could imply an entirely new game. But you're probably right. All the signs prior to this pointed at an expanded rerelease. It's coming out almost 3 years after the original release, so I guess they might have added quite a bit of story content to it.

The new trailer released today calls this announcement both "An Untold Shin Megami Tensei V Story" as well as "The Definitive Version of Shin Megami Tensei V" with a brand new chapter.

[...]

Forge your path through a post-apocalyptic world in this definitive version of Shin Megami Tensei V. Two complete story paths await, including a brand-new storyline with new locations and demons, and where your choices will determine the fate of all existence. Navigate conflicting and tragic moral decisions and confront a dramatic tale of revenge or explore the original Shin Megami Tensei V saga. Which path will you choose? Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance launches on Nintendo Switch June 21.

The DLC is gonna be a whole game in size, given that they make an expensive collectors edition for it

I AM HYPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Great Nintendo Direct, love to see stuff like Endless Ocean (even though it's randomly generated and online geared this time) and Penny's Big Breakaway (3D platformer by Sonic Mania dev). Great to have SMTV on PC too, weird wording doesn't quite say if its the original + more or a separate story like the two SMTIV entries but going multiplat with it would imply the former. Or maybe it started as a revision/deluxe version but eventually changed to a full retcon/new thing?

One of those trailers I had to scroll down the YT page several times to avoid spoilers. What I saw looked insane.

Fucking hell FromSoft.

June 21 is gonna be some day. I guess best approach is to replay Elden Ring all of beginning of June and jump straight into DLC.

And delay SMTV start by a few weeks.

The Steam summer sale should probably be around that time too lol :negative-blob:

Sony is gonna drop the PS5 Pro and cause Rebirth Steam to get delayed by an extra year.

Speaking of which why hasn't FF16 released on EGS?

Should of been out by now I believe.

Maybe Sweeney doesn't like anime anymore.
Because XVI might not be EGS exclusive lol

I hope SMTVV will completely rework the mitamas

Literally one of the worst systems in a JRPG ever



Yea, there are multiple cutscenes in the trailer that were in the basegame, except there's suddenly a new waifu standing around in them (lol)
ATLUS can't remake/remaster a game without adding a new waifus. Otherwise the game wouldn't sell. It's simple math really even though adding a new waifus can ruin the game no?

Also coming to Steam:



Didn't the last SAO game bomb or something and having simps on it is a mixed bag, some of their stuff is good other stuff didn't work out in the end. SAO FB did sell well years ago from what I heard.


Didn't Bandai say going forward they would look into cancelling games more early on in their development cycle?

More about SMTV:

Ah, that would explain the confusing messaging. It sounds like you can play the game as originally released or choose the route with the new story elements. Kind of a weird way to do it but having the choice is cool, I guess. Wonder if they'll recommend playing the original route first for new players.

Is this the DLC? Blocked in my country then. No DLC for me :confounded-face:
If the base game is available to you, surely the DLC will be as well.

The DLC page popped into existence a few minutes after the trailer finished, for me (France), but don't go hollow before giving it at least a workday.

I'm getting "old Raya Lucaria" vibes from some trailer locations (and fits "losing side of [the] war"), but I can't make sense of it in context. "Messmer" may fit Miquella; same theme as St Trina. edit: Miquella + Formless Mother's flames (via Mogh) = Messmer?

They already did it with Nocturne, which on pc let's you play the 3 versions assuming you bought the maniax's/Dante DLC

This new game is being developed by DIMPS, same studio as Fatal Bullet, unlike the last 2 releases which were developed by Aquria.

More about SMTV:

A situation like SMT4: Apocalypse then.

One one hand, it's fantastic if you buy SMT5V, you get the base game and the stand alone for the price of one.
On the other hand, why can't this be bought as DLC if you already have it?
I know that it's to make more money for Atlus but still.

It's weird because I did buy Elden Ring normally back when it first came out, but ever since mid 2022 most new Bamco releases are being blocked in my country. Elden Ring store page is not longer available to me, but I can still play it since I bought it before this mass blocking. Hopefully, I'll be able to buy the DLC but I wouldn't hold my breath tbh.

2024 is so far proving to be a good year for "Games where only the sequel made it to Steam". Just this month we got Dragon Quest Builders 1 and announcements for Monster Hunter Stories 1 and Epic Mickey 1. Is this the year we finally get RE Code Veronica? Dragon Quest 1 through 9?!
