Catherine

Not much is know about it, besides that it's being made by the team that makes Persona, and will be on Xbox360/PS3. HD graphics, anyone?
Little basic info:
- horror/adult action adventure
- producer Katsura Hashino
- chara design Shigenori Soejima
- composer Shoji Meguro
Basically, in Persona 3 Portable, near the end of the game, there was a character that would appear in Club Escapade, and had a portrait, even though he played no role in anything.
Now, in the topic pic, the character at the bottom looks basically the exact same, minus the mole. This could be hinting that the story takes place in the Persona universe.
Some snippets about his NPC in P3P:
- Talks about rumors that you die in real life if you die in your dreams before "hitting bottom"
- His back story is that his relationship is on the rocks after cheating on his girlfriend, but after hearing that he knocked her up, decides to get back together.
- Is only referred to as "Man drinking alone" in game, but has several character portraits after you talk to him enough times.
- Data mining the UMD revealed his portraits to be labeled "Vincent"
- In the final scene, he promises to tell you more about his story, but that it has nothing to do with your problems, with that line highlighted in Plot Relevant Red.
Looking forwards to finding out more about this.

I have nothing useful to add to this topic except *schlick*
ATLUS + ADULT/HORROR ACTION ADVENTURE + SHIGENORI SOEJIMA CHARACTER DESIGNS = CAPSLOCK WIN

Oh wow, freakin' awesome! Finally, a SMT game for an HD system. Just that, tied in with the fact that this is made by the company who did P3, is more than enough to guarantee that I'll buy it. As with all SMT games, I am loving the art style, and it looks to be having a serious tone, with a lot of dark attributes to it--love it.
Hopefully we can expect to see something on the game at the Tokyo Game Show.

Yea, yet again, another deep story awaits us in full HD this time.
The protagonists aren't kids this time, I expect from this game lots of mind blowing stuff.

I hope this is just the Persona team testing out the waters on the PS3, so that the real P5 can be released in it's full potential. Either way, I hope to hear more about this.

Err... It might not be SMT though, Ijust threw that it under the assumption that it is, since the Persona team's working on it. |:

Fuck yeah. But then again, maybe ESRB'll fuck up the rating when it comes over...
And another article (couldn't find the source, found it on a forum).

According to Soejima, there will be adult scenes in the game. It is unknown as to what these scenes are but Meguro confirmed the game’s music will be somewhat adult oriented and erotic. Expect full 5.1ch surround sound.

And another article (couldn't find the source, found it on a forum).
Game Jouhou has posted a bunch of additional details on Catherine, Atlus's new PS3 and Xbox 360 action adventure game.
As detailed below, Catherine is the first HD game from Atlus. It's being made with key members of the Persona staff. Included in the staff list are Katsura Hashino as producer and director, Shigenori Soejima as character designer, and Shouji Meguro as sound composer.
While the game's name is Catherine, the main character is actually a 32-year-old salaryman named Vincent (voiced by Koichi Yamadera). Catherine (voiced by Miyuki Sawashiro) is a stylish 22-year-old girl who apparently has the charms of a young girl.
The game begins when Vincent, a vegetarian who has no ambition in work or love (I'm not sure if he's literally a "vegetarian," or if the term "vegetarian" is some sort of metaphor for his personality) runs into the mysterious Catherine one day. At night, he has nightmares.
The nightmares serve as an action component for the game. Set in a world with an unending stairway, Vincent has to make it to the top of the stairs, or he will not be able to awaken.
Based off Game Jouhou's summary, it's a bit unclear how the game will progress. However, it does seem that even during the nightmare action parts, you'll end up working through the story and encountering events.
During a staff interview, Hashino said that as their first HD game, rather than trying out a true RPG, the team was excited about trying out something new. It looks like Catherine will be just that, as Hashino said it will be more adult oriented than past titles from the team. It's not all style, though. Hashino promised a deep play experience with plenty of gameplay for players to sink their teeth into.
Soejima said that there are some shockingly adult scenes in the game. When you play these scenes, they'll be even more stimulating, although in a difference sense.
Meguro confirmed the adult leanings of the title, saying that the keywords for the game's music are "classic," "adult oriented" and "erotic." He also promised 5.1ch sound.
Meguro also made a comment that has Persona fans excited. He said that due to Catherine, he believes for the time being the staff won't be asked about their next title. However, at some point next year, perhaps he'll be able to respond "Regarding the RPG, Hashino and I are..."

I'm not convinced this would be in the same universe as Persona. It possible that Vincent being in P3P was simply a cameo appearance to promote their next game.
But I'm glad that SMT is going HD. It kinda felt weird when P4 was announced... for the PS2.
I guess we can hope that the next Persona or other SMT games will be on the PS3.

It ain't P5, but I'm looking forward to it. Sounds like it'll be a lot of fun. And looking at Catherine every now and again will be nice...*drool*
*ahem* I just hope ATLUS releases it in the US...God knows how uptight people can be about sex in video games. >_> Well if games like Dragon Age and Mass Effect can get away with it, then I don't see how this one won't.

Woah, nice. Looks good and like others, hope it comes to the U.S. Too bad I don't have a PS3/360. T_T But what an interesting find, comparing those two.
