Persona 5 news and UC4 embargo up!? HNNNNGH

 

[Mediking]

Countdown is tied to your computer's clock. Go by the schedule that's been posted in this thread.

On another note, one has to wonder what they'll talk about for an hour. Hell, what in the world are they going to do for two and a half hours at the Tokyo Tower?

Persona skits to buy time and stall

I want to trust you and build up my confidence again, but then I close my eyes and remember last year and I fill a hole where my heart used to be.

So I'm in between. The only thing that would make some super clusterfuck is a Collectors MEGA DUPPA FUNK edition with Statue, Anime, Soundtrack, Art, DLC (a lá FF XV)

Hahah I understand. But hey, Japan's Collector's Edition oughta be really awesome.

 

[Tinfoilhatsron]

I'll be expecting trailers and a release date. Please don't disappoint Atlus.

 

[KZXcellent]

I guess I'll wake up at 8am EST and hope things pop off. Excited.

 

[Velcro Fly]

Hopefully in the 15 minutes I'm awake and on a computer before I have to leave for work tomorrow I'll get the gist of what happened.

Otherwise I hope polygon will have a good write up. For some reason that is like the only game news site that is not blocked by my work's web filter.

 

[ChasingComets]

It's times like these I love being in the Asian time zone.

And then E3 rolls around and everything happens at 2am, and everything sucks again.

 

[Shingro]

I'm completely lost as to the time this actually kicks off. The website still has 20 hours to go but yesterday people were predicting 7 hours? soon? later? now?

you are killing because I know you are right. JP edition will be legit and dope.

 

[DKHF]

It starts in 7 hours and 40 minutes from now. The reason the website says there's still 20 hours to go for you is because the countdown is set to your computer's clock.

9.30pm JST for the main event.

About 8 hours from now.

 

[jbluzb]

Excited for the announcement.

 

[kenta]

Here's how Japan-focused the event will be: the countdown clock expects your computer to be in Japan's time zone and was not programmed to even consider the possibility that people from outside Japan would be looking at it

 

[Mediking]

Stay strong....

 

[Sandfox]

I honestly want to see some less serious content with the next trailer.

 

[Makio]

People who have reasonable expectations are expecting a Japanese release date and a new trailer, minimum. I don't see the room for disappointment unless someone is expecting something nuts.

This.....

 

[Mediking]

I meant to post this earlier. Menus are so freaking hype and gorgeous.

 

[Chie Satonaka]

I honestly want to see some less serious content with the next trailer.

Me too!

Oh god, we're getting closer. I need to get home and do something to take my mind off of it.

The anticipation

Spoiler

is going to make itsfuckingnothing.gif hurt even more this time around

!

 

[GoodMorningPluto]

I thought I will be able to watch it after work, now I am gonna miss it...

 

[Makio]

If they show nothing or everything is going to be a frickin ride like the last 2....

7-6 hours left ... i think and i already sleep :C

 

[Inuhanyou]

I honestly want to see some less serious content with the next trailer.

Well i think we can be confident that the game isn't going to be as drab as Persona 3 in terms of melodrama and unlikable characters for half the game...(atleast until their character development kicks in)

So the trailer doesnt necessarily have to show 'lighter' content per se IMO

 

[Aters]

I honestly want to see some less serious content with the next trailer.

Or maybe they just change the tone and make a much more serious game. We already know it's darker this time; to what degree is the question. I'd take either way.

 

[Vex_]

I love the way he leans back with the gun. That shit looks dope AF.

 

[coolasj19]

FUCK. Am I really going to set up an alarm just to wake up to watch this even though tomorrow is a sleep in day? Am I really up for getting trolled again?

Can we?

 

[Modest Mauser]

Can we?

I'd say so, given the really flamboyant style of the trailers thus far.

 

[m4st4]

Persona 5 news and UC4 embargo up!? HNNNNGH

I know right, my coffee is ready, kids can wait (I'm working in a high school library heh).

 

[Squire]

Or maybe they just change the tone and make a much more serious game. We already know it's darker this time; to what degree is the question. I'd take either way.

Do we though? You can isolate certain scenes and imagery from P4 and make the game out to be pretty dark. I don't expect this to be too much darker than P4, really.

Darkest thing about P5 thus far is the color palette, to be honest.

 

[Aressa]

People who have reasonable expectations are expecting a Worldwide release date and a new trailer, minimum. I don't see the room for disappointment unless someone is expecting something nuts.

Ftfy

 

[Wheatly]

Is someone here going to host a stream to watch? I can never figure out how NicoNico works.

Someone answer this man!

 

[Nekuphones]

well, tomorrow morning it is =/

 

[GasProblem]

I'm just excited for some Persona news, don't care if it's Japan only. Maybe we'll see a new crew member.

 

[Makio]

Someone answer this man!

X2.

Is sad , Persona Channel is not streaming this one (i see that last one just fine there).

Twitch and Nico-Nico never work for me :C

 

[duckroll]

Forget the stream. Just imagine an old lady holding a poster blocking the screen and overreacting to nothing. That's probably how most of it will go!

 

[ChasingComets]

I meant to post this earlier. Menus are so freaking hype and gorgeous.

How did Altus do it? How did they get people to get so excited over seeing mere game menus?

I literally cannot think of any other game trailer that managed to pull this off.

 

[Rabid Dwarf 76]

Forget the stream. Just imagine an old lady holding a poster blocking the screen and overreacting to nothing. That's probably how most of it will go!

Sounds about right.

 

[Mortemis]

I don't even care for a western release date rn, all I want is something great to keep myself excited. Sad to say, but my hype is slipping.

Hope I wake up to a new trailer.

 

[Metroidvania]

Looking forward to whatever craziness happens when I wake up, lol.

 

[Aters]

Do we though? You can isolate certain scenes and imagery from P4 and make the game out to be pretty dark. I don't expect this to be too much darker than P4, really.

Darkest thing about P5 thus far is the color palette, to be honest.

Guess you are right about the trailer editing, but the color palette is usually a good indication for the tone of the story (blue for the melodrama of P3, yellow for the intimacy of P4, and red and black for the thrill of P5). I think I'm influenced by the analysis video of Gametrailer though, Ben did a decent job.

Still, we see the wounded main protagonist locked to a chair being interrogated. I really can't remember any scene in P4 goes that far.

Moreover, we got an interview with the director about the story, and it is really easy to leave with the impression that the story will be darker this time when you read:

Most of the characters in the game are labeled, judged, and are living unfortunate everyday lives that have no escape. Rising up and breaking out of such situation is what you’ll see as you move forward in the game.

 

[Ghost Slayer]

Which twitter do people look for live translation (assuming it has one)?

 

[orochi91]

I think I'll skip this live event and just check the aftermath thread(s).

The last Atlus event (P5 announcement) was way too trollish for my poor heart.

T_T

 

[NHL94]

So what are they announcing brehs?

 

[Makio]

The third trailer is 8 months old , but shit man still got me.
Hope for the new one they keep it packed as fuck to show off everything but with spoiling anything really.

It'll be in complete japanese, I don't think it's going to have japanese subs neither

Looking for translation on twitter is the only option since Atlus stream never had sub but I don't know where it is.
