I love Soul Hackers 1. It has such a cool atmosphere and the quirky dialogue is just so much fun. But 2 literally looks like they shoved Persona's battle system into it; with everyone having a GUMP and using their demons as their special moves a la Persona. I was a fan of the original's where it was just 2 humans, and the other 4 slots being various demons with their own moves. Plus the cutscenes they showed don't feel like they're goofy or light hearted like 1's.

I love Persona and I love Soul Hackers, but I really hope this isn't just Persona: Soul Hackers Edition >_> I'm still cautiously optimistic

I mean, you were supposed to in the original >_> Like you gave them gifts to increase their loyalty so that they would listen to you more

I want to have intimate relations be friends with Hua Po

But more seriously Im not particularly excited. I dont even mind them shoving in a Persona-esque battle system, but just the presentation of the whole thing doesnt have any of the same appeal of the first game.

It might still be good and Ill probably get it eventually, but as far as I can tell it looks like they're essentially making a whole new IP and just stamping "Soul Hackers" on it >_>

Honestly, it looks and almost plays nothing like the original Soul Hackers. It may as well be a new IP altogether. And it definitely takes way more from Persona than it does from the previous Devil Summoner games. You don't even use demons in battle; they're glorified equipment for the characters.

Plus, they relegated Nemissa to a DLC demon, even though she was not a demon in the original Soul Hackers.

So yeah, putting aside the fact that I don't have a console that can play it, I'm not that excited about SH2. Maybe I'll play it down the line, but the game just looks... weird. Too weird.

I mean, Demon Loyalty was a mechanic as far back as the original Devil Summoner.

Also, it's silly that they actually turned "Soul Hacking" into a thing, when originally, it was just the name of the game.

Well the whole plot of the game was that there was a malicious computer chip in everyone's computer in the city that could mind control them......aka hack their soul >_>. But yeah, the term "soul hack" isn't utter at all in the game lol

Thing that bugs me the most is that the "digital world" is a bunch of sterile looking cubes and shit. Digimon Cyber Sleuth does the same thing and it peeves me.

A digital environment is basically a free ticket to let your imagination run apeshit and the best they come up with is the Playstation 2 boot screen

My main worry is the combat system, I like SMT because of how press turn works, in this game you just do extra damage at the end of the turn based on how many times you hit weaknesses. It sounds way less interactive.

I'm I the only one who thinks the atmosphere of the game seems really generic and bland? Kind of funny this game is on everything but the Swtich, but SMT V was Switch only and the game's great atmosphere was stuck on a low powered console.

Also, when are we gonna get the Flatwoods Monster in a Megaten game? They already had a Chemtrails demon in one of the games. We need more sweet American mythology to join Thunderbird and Mothman.

What I liked about Devil Summoner Soul Hackers...
Is that it felt atmospheric...

Soul Hackers 2 definitely lost the same charm that original game had. In fact it became a different game entirely

It had more story than Nocturne at least. Definitely a decent amount of dialogue between dungeons

@ryudo500

Soul Hackers 1 was pretty story driven.
Idk if I would say "a lot", but there's a decent amount of stuff going on.

Oh definitely more than SMTV. You're not going to have any 3+ hour segments of dungeon crawling before you get the next 10 minutes of context >_>

Yeah, Soul Hackers is tied with Digital Devil Saga as my favourite SMT, but I'm really not looking forward to 2.
