Gallery: Here Are 26 Shin Megami Tensei V Screenshots For Your Viewing Pleasure

My guy jack looking slick

The more I look at screenshots, the more I can't wait for the game.

I’m only a bit sad the original priest in the Cathedral of Shadows was replaced. I was really looking forward to hearing that familiar quip upon entering…
“Welcome to the Cathedral of Shadows, where demons gather…”

This game really is a beaut, hope it runs steady enough too.

just like capcom did with MH RISE and stories 2. Atlus is showing 3rd parties how a great 3rd party game on the switch can be done. there is no more excuses , activision and EA , I am looking at you . watered down ports like FIFA are not going to cut it any more . fans deserve better. and we are getting great 1st party and finally now great 3rd party games as well. 3rd parties need to shape up or ship out!

Looks absolutely gorgeous. Too bad I still have to complete Tokyo Mirage Sessions

@tntswitchfan68 Activision recently released the Tony Hawk games in Switch, that also look and run beautyfully. The third parties are starting to take the Switch seriously, and I'm so glad for that! Even though I still believe Nintendo should release a Switch pro asap...

Loving the look of this but they totally just pulled those menus right out of #FE and reused them lol

Looking great and worth the wait! This and Metroid Dread give me hope for games with looong development cycles turning out great in the end despite not hearing much, if anything. Bayonetta 3 and Prime 4 will be just fine...

I'm watching the daily videos showing off demons and I'm glad to see that some ones that didn't show up in a long while are coming back.
Curious to find out how many paths SMTV will have.

@the_beaver forgot about that i hope they do more. then as always the lone hold out is EA. no suprise. I think the switch pro will come out next year. we shall see.

It looks really good, shame it's another JRPG, i don't mind the genre but Im not that into, i played Dragon Quest 11 and Xenoblade Blade DE, that's enough JRPGs for me.

Passing on this.

Looks great though.

I can confirm. Viewing pleasure satisfied. Hype boost received, but still on the waiting list (I almost never buy a game day one anymore, saved so much on just buying what I really want when it's on sale or gets a price drop, and it makes the game "new" when I DO get it, not just an expensive part of a dusty backlog "I still need to play").

Pokemon Arceus could learn a thing or ten from this

not a fan of the environments they've built for this game, they all look kinda samey and uninspired.
also not a fan of the UI because it was taken straight out of TMS#FE, and it doesn't quite fit in with the mood of this entry.

I've been waiting for this new SMT since it's initial announcement back in 2017, but now when the wait is almost over... IDK, I'd rather just get something like TWEWY2 instead, which looks much more promising at this point.

P.S. also +1 that there's no sign of that digital priest from the cathedral of shadows. he and classical organ music were such a big part of the atmosphere.

Day one buy for me I'm not a hardcore fan of Shin Megami Tensei, only played just a few games but I am 1000% sold on SMT5

Looking like another game worthy of the MegaTen franchise aka Thee Greatest Franchise in Gaming. Managed to snag a premium edition, that demon book is basically an SMT fan's wet dream.

@anynamereally
Hmm that's interesting.that you think twewy2 will be better.i do agree with the environments...my problem with them is to much red.i think red and blue together is not visually pleasing.

@Slowdive exactly the same.

@Ahlvin23 maybe. but I'd rather run through some maze-like environments that do resemble older SMT entries when it was all just about labirynths than these huge semi-open world areas with crumbled buildings and no intricate details around you.
IDK, you'll probably forget about all of these areas once you run past them, doesn't look memorable or interesting to me.

TWEWY2 on the other hand, since it all happens inside a city, it has tremendous amount of details hence it's really fun to just run around and explore things on your own.

I'm certain the new character for smash will be from this game.

CANON NAME: ATLUS SEGA

WE'VE MOVED PAST THE NEED FOR ROGER FROM PERSONA 3

@anynamereally
Yeah I'm afraid they get rid of the dungeon crawling to make it more "modern"
Not liking that tbh

@Ahlvin23 yeah, true.

Can't wait.

I'll probably go through most of my unplayed SMT games before November just to make the wait for V easier. Now that I've completed Nocturne I might move on to SMT 1 and 2.

Is it November yet?

These JRPG's take me an eternity to finish. But I'm so stoked for this game that I haven't bought any since Ys VIII. I just finished that a few weeks ago, and on the 3DS, I've given up on Alliance Alive, and while I'm still slowly plodding through Etrian Odyssey Nexus. So I feel ready for something new.

@Ahlvin23 I think another worrying trend is the "quality of life" they've been adding to the games. Sure, old school SMT games can be frustrating, but SMT IV Apocalypse had zero penalty for dying. It totally removed any sense of challenge or the relieve/joy of limping back (most of your demons dead and having used all your health items) to a terminal to save your progress.

While I'm thrilled this is finally coming out (Fall of Man Premium Edition pre-ordered) I'm also gassed at the potential spin-offs the assets from this game could potentially be used for! SMT I & II remakes? Digital Devil Saga? If...?

Quite the otherworldly quality to this!
Good to see the series doesn't disappoint in that regard.

This game looks like it's going to set my Switch on fire, lol. This is way too pretty.

Got the Collector's Edition preordered, so all that's left to do is impatiently wait for November to come.

I’m getting giddy now

Looks fantastic. The demons designs and battle animations look ridiculously good. Day 1 buy no doubt.

I love, love, love how they retained the overall UI and design styling from TMS#FE. That was such a good interface, and just everything about it handled so well. Getting the next mainline SMT with that same general interface and art concept is a dream come true!

@Kilamanjaro Can people.. just stop bringing pokemon up whenever other monster collecting games are brought up? These games actually deserve to stand on their own, instead of constantly being compared to pokemon in one way or another. This is why I'm ashamed of being a pokemon fan, because stuff like this.

No, this is not a "Pokemon killer", and no this isn't a "Pokemon clone". People need to stop "Gamefreak should take notes from this" or "This game is a better pokemon". This attitude is exactly what kills series. Fossil Fighters died because of people making constant comparisons to pokemon with it, and not giving it a proper chance.

But I guess it's on me to expect pokemon fans to play other games that aren't just Pokemon, and expect them to treat other monster catching games as their own, instead of making constant comparisons, or constantly bringing up pokemon every time one's mentioned.

And yes, I know it probably won't damage SMT, since it's a different niche, and different type of game, which actually helped invent the genera, but I'm just tired of seeing pokemon fans do this type of thing.

@VoidofLight fwiw, Game Freak quite directly based Pokemon off SMT to begin with, so it's not just fans comparing them, the idea of Pokemon literally started after he reviewed SMT for what was then Game Freak magazine. This really is the source material franchise for Pokemon, so comparisons are more warrented here than most games.

@NEStalgia I know that, but I still think people shouldn't compare Pokemon to any other monster catching game. It does more harm than good to most games in the genera.

@VoidofLight the Pokemon fandom does more harm to Pokemon than anything else...

Looking at some people's fears with the open world, I imagine the spacious environment is only going to replace the traditional map system. Presumably you will still be entering specific districts of Tokyo and going into labyrinths like old smt.

@VoidofLight I'm also a Pokemon fan, completed my Dex for Sword & Shield. I just expect more from the largest entertainment franchise on Earth, especially after spending years of my life & money on the Pokemon franchise. I actually just bought SMT IV and I'm looking forward to SMT V too. It's not so bad comparing games with the same hardware limitations on the same console. Didn't mean to upset you, but c'mon, this game looks GREAT!

@Slowdive agreed, so far the best goodlooking megaTen game, surpassing even Persona 5 royal on PS4. I hope persona, pokemon fans and gamers in general will give SMT V a chance.

It looks so polished! It's really looking like a PS4 game
