They are still making games, it's just that Index Holdings has like a tighter leash on them or something.

They're working on Catherine right now, which is in the same universe as Persona (the protagonist of Catherine was in the PSP port of Persona 3).

what IS  Catherine anyway? i saw some blips about it on Sak complex. It looks like some hentai game actually?

honestly im not sure what this means, or what Index holding them by a tighter leash will mean in the long run. If the US company is still ok that doesn't matter much when the japanese branch was the one developing most of the games =P

Atlus only develops the Megami Tensei, Etrian Odyssey, and Trauma Center series.  Atlus wasn't involved in the production of any of the other games you mentioned.  It seems as though the impetus for the dissolution of Atlus as an independent financial entity was most likely Index's goal from the beginning, and that the failure of their arcade business gave Index that opportunity.

For the last five years, Index has been in control of Atlus at the financial level; this was just the final step in that takeover.

so all the american Atlus company branch does is import OTHER companies games then i guess? other than the Persona series, ect? If thats so then i guess there wont be any real impact other than possible stall of a new persona games, or whats going on with Catherine. As well as Index just controlling them a lot more on what they make from here on out (as Seventy says). Kinda sucks

Which reminds me im still am not clear on what the hell it is.. if its gonna be an ero game, or just a game with some ecchi/sex scenes? I saw one trailer and it looked like a huge mind fuck. I guess one of the characters appears in the psp game.. not sure if its the main guy or the catherine chick

^_^x KD

If it DOES venture across the boundary of ero, or even just show SOME skin, I guarantee it will be cut for American release, and I will be quite displeased.   >:(
