Here is a link to a video that came out today for a game called Panopticon.  If I could guess based on the art style it seems like it could be an SMT game but I am not really sure. I'm curious what you guys think and what platforms your thinking it might be on. Im hoping they can pull it off on the vita, maybe some cross play?? It seems to have multiplayer as a feature so it could be some type of Monster Hunter kinda deal. Let me know what you guys think!

BTW for anyone curious a panopticon is a tower that they use in jails/prisons when inmates are outside. The tower is used for surveliance but doesn't allow for people outside of the tower to see if anybody is in there or where they are looking. It's kind of an ominous sort of idea so perhaps that can be relevant to the game?

It's obviously not an SMT game because it's being developed by Japan Studio and not Atlus. I can definitely see a similarity in the artstyle though. As much as I would love a new SMT game (desperately awaiting SMT IV to finally come out here), this game looks damn cool in it's own right. I hope it's an entirely new IP. We've been starved of new IPs this gen. Would also love it if the game came to the Vita. The Vita is a great system and really could use some more killer software to really kick things in gear and this looks awesome so fingers crossed.

Haha so true, I guess i was so excited and surprised by the art style that I overlooked that fact that atlus' name wasnt on it. And I agree i feel like this could be an excellent Vita title because the system does need to get kicked into gear. I just hope whatever this is there is some sort of cross-play with which ever sony home console they choose. If this is a new IP I'd be ecstatic but, like you said, this gen has been so starved for new IPs my expecations are rather low for that. Fingers crossed tho

Highly unlikely but maybe another level 5 game? Only reason why is most of level 5 games are involved with some theme or robots/machines or some sort and this trailer gives me that vibe. reminds me of something like white knight chronicles and rogue galaxy. Wasn't there something about level 5 making a new game and some speculations were a Ni No Kuni sequel... But maybe it's a new game such as this game.

It looks really good. I think it's a PS4 game.

You're right, there was speculation of another console Level-5 Game and Japan Studios have worked with them before so it is not out of the question. I really do hope it is a next gen sorta game because it looks so smooth
