Head over to Kotaku for the details. A commenter posted the actual trailer.

These are some great links you provided. To the kotaku article and that trailer.

Sorry. I forgot it wasn't on the first page. But I didn't see anyone here mention it yet.

There ya go. Enjoy. The game looks sick.

Finally an SMT entry in the next gen! I can't wait.

It took some digging, but I found the video.

Very confusing, very adult-themed, but definitely has the great Persona style.

I'm sure it'll be excellent.

Based on the trailer alone, looks pretty stupid if you ask me. Then again the Persona 3 trailer looked stupid.

[tentencanidae]

I think it looked cool. The game still has that dark SMT style of any of their games, and I kind of welcome the adult undertones... assuming it's not just a pr0n game.

I'm totally sold on this with just the trailer alone.

So....

What i'm getting from the trailer is that this ordinary guy has intercourse with this really hot strange woman and because of that he has nightmares of walking sheep and giant ants?

Doesn't sound so bad to me.

But seriously, I don't know how the death of the lonely man comes into this.

[Press_Start]

The creativity, the dominance of style, the imagination, the....sheep?

This is what I call a next-gen RPG. To tell ya the truth....it's the first game I REALLY, REALLY want to play on an HD console...and I want it NOW!

[Richter Belmount]

Cool , but dude your topic title no need to blow your load its a game : P thats just nasty.

The trailer was interesting, but I'm lost on what exactly it's trying to be. Hopefully it won't be a weird dating simulator, but then again a Shin Megami Tensei dating simulator would probably more like a nightmare simulator, which in itself sounds awesome.

Obviously not a RPG. Unlikely to hit the US anyway...way too Japanese.

[Aussie2B]

Looks pretty bizarre, but in an industry of cookie-cutter games, bizarre is good. I wish I had some clue as to how it plays, but the notion of it not being an RPG and having some degree of action involved actually makes it more interesting to me.

[Overbite]

Doesn't this have nothing to do with persona aside from the art guy? It's not even an RPG or first person sword thing.

[Chainsaw_Charlie]

I am a persona fan so if it comes over here it'll be a near day one pickup

Have you met Atlus before? It's a video game company, see.

Considering that Atlus has released practically every Tensei game since Nocturne, I doubt that they wouldn't release this here as well. They've cornered the niche market and know this will sell because of the Tensei name alone. As long as it doesn't turn out to be another Devil Summoner, I'll more than likely pick this up when it's released.

[Cryomancer]

I look at the Japanese scan it seems to be the title is just "Catherine". It's the US blogs and what not calling it "Shin Megami Tensei Persona Catherine" here. It's probably only related via the cameo in P3P and won't have either of those titles in it's actual name.

Looks potentially interesting but I don't see why they are going back and forth between an anime-like in-engine system and actual anime scenes, but hey whatever. I just hope they don't sink a dangerous amount of money into it and it flops, that would suck.

[pseudonym]

Looks interesting. I wonder how well it would sell if it gets released in North America, because of it's arguably tenuous connection to SMT and looking like a very niche game from a company that already releases plenty of niche games.

[sfchakan]

Looks interesting, but I want to see more details on stuff not related to virtual nipples. Yeah, we got it. Sex scenes. Big whoop.
