Checking In On Persona 5: The Phantom X With A Vengeance - SMTN Link 339

Atlus dropped a nice free update for SMTVV that not only adds a new demon/subquest, six new demon navigators from the popularity poll earlier this year, and even more quality of life changes. So for this week's podcast I take a solo look at all the new content added to the game for this shorter episode.

With the release of Metaphor Atlus and the team at Studio Zero put out a brand new title running on the same engine that was used for the original Persona 5 back in 2016. Atlus has also been working with other game engines over the last few years like SMTV with Unreal Engine and Soul Hackers 2 with Unity. So I invited Oliver Mackenzie from Digital Foundry on to talk all about this more technical side of Atlus development. digitalfoundry.net  Follow Oliver on X/Twitter @oliemack Watch Oliver's Metaphor video here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaF5z9J0YWQ  Support the podcast: Patron.com/SMTN  Subscribe on YouTube Here: https://www.youtube.com/user/torchwood4SP  Check out the Shin Megami Tensei Network podcast on iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/shin-megami-tensei-network/id1527210478  Spotify: https://t.co/wOXqDqPqoc?amp=1 Find us online X/Twitter @SMTNetwork @Torchwood4sp Join the Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/SMTNetwork  Join our discord.gg/TkBgNpp

This summer Brian Shea flew to Japan to write a cover story all about Metaphor: ReFantazio for Game Informer. The magazine was unceremoniously shut down before that cover story could be printed, but Brian recently got the chance to post the feature online on his own along with videos of him with the team over at Studio Zero. This episode we talk about that experience, playing the most recent Metaphor demo that just released for everyone to experience, and what to expect when the game releases in less than two weeks from now!
