And we kind of already knew this, since they mentioned it an interview with Jeff back at E3, but it's cool that they're actually openly promoting it. "
There are a lot of people who work for Atlus USA. Most of the employees probably know about it. How could they not?
Would love to hear their voices in the background talking about the Giant Bomb App or something to that extent. Or something about how much they love steak. Or voice Ghoul. Anything really.
You know with the knowledge of the Giant Bomb's advertising, I am very hopeful for a speedy localization of Persona 3 Portable and the inevitable Persona 5. While Sega contemplates bringing Yakuza 3 over to the West and there is still no confirmation of an English Dragon Quest IX from Square, it's good to know that Atlus believes that their games enjoy a fan base here, and a growing one on top of that.
Ah, thanks for the image! I thought it was great that they were OK with the Endurance Run (which was mentioned in the E3 interview about Persona on PSP), but to go so far as to link to Giant Bomb is a whole new level of awesomeness.
@sidescroller: Atlus has a very laidback attitude to thier games and marketing so I'm not really surprised that they didn't demand that GB take the video down. I guess it's this attitude is why I find them so appealing. I think their newsletters are the only ones that I get a chuckle out of let alone read.
" Atlus seem like a pretty cool company seeing as they're encouraging what is basically an entire marquee release given away for free. "
Indie companies help indie companies whenever those indie companies increase their game sales to the point of almost matching the sales in that game's native country. Of the half million sales that Persona 4 has accomplished (and by the way, that's a HUGE deal for Atlus to sell half a mill), it is almost split halfway between America and Japan. Considering that P3 only sold about 300K between both Japan and America...yeah...doubling someone's sales is generally seen as pretty fucking awesome! lol
Grats GeeBee! The whole endurance run concept is very unique and it's nice to see Atlas being receptive & supportive of it.
It would be absolutely hilarious and equally awesome if Atlas tipped their hats off to Jeff and Vinny and gave them an in-game cameo in a future MegaTen game.
