Is Atlus going to have a strong showing at E3?

When PS3 hardware is vastly different from PS4 hardware and their engine is for the former, yeah there is.

And Sony couldn't do anything. Persona isn't something you can push to the mainstream. With the things it focuses on, it's almost lucky it flies under the water.

They could port it to PS4 maybe ask someone else to do it?

They can play down the animu parts and focus on the jrpg aspects. They don't have to make it appeal to the mainstream just make sure more people are intrigued by it.
 
So many interesting opinions here. Maybe Atlus will surprise most people...

is this a tease? ...


what does this mean

Persona is a series that has reached mainstream...
But i think that Persona 5 will be showed at TGS, not here.
You can't expect them to completly focus on handhelds if P5 does good :D why has to be everything for 3DS? i don't understand how can people want everything to be on a single (and dated) system.

Persona 5 uses a new engine, so i think that more Shin Megami Tensei games will come to PS360/PS4XBOX1 after P5 is done.
 
what does this mean

Mainline SMT is all about choosing whether to side with the angels or the demons, and in the second game you actually kill the Christian God. Persona never goes that far, but it does involve teenagers shooting themselves in the head, breaking and entering, having sex, ignoring authority figures and (attempting) to commit murder. If the mainstream media ever got hold of this and it was a slow news week...

Persona: Trinity Soul for 3DS.

BELIEVE.

You have a Persona 3 avatar and you say this. I do not comprehend.
 
p3 doesn't really focus on suicide though
i mean it uses suicide imagery (the shock value wears off after the first hour or so)

aside from the goofy suicide imagery (which appeared in a whole one game), none of that stuff is worse than things you see on primetime teen dramas. hell abc family runs shows that are edgy than the stuff persona presents
(also literally every western developed game from the past decade)

That FOX news would kill to run a story about the latest best-selling video game revolves teenagers who do battle with demons in a series with a lineage steeped in the occult.

uuuuh kinda doubt that
 
They should release P5 on PS3 and PS4. Then P6 on PS4, No way are they going to release P6 in 2016 on the PS3. Persona could become a hit if Sony helped advertising it and if they did not release one game every six years.

I doubt Sony cares. Sony doesn't really do anything for JRPGs in general. Like, they help out with Persona in the media aspect but I'd hardly expect them to actually prop up the games themselves. P6 on PS3 is actually really possible, just look at how Persona 4 came out in late in Japan in 2008 2 years years after OG P3 came out.

Though I don't want Atlus to wait too long before jumping to next gen, else we're looking at an end of gen P7 for next gen...

Atlus isn't going to ask anyone to do anything.

Also playing down the anime aspects would be dumb considering the series basically is anime. It has Jpop, anime cutscenes, the whole honorifics thing. You can't really play that down. Not to mention JRPGs have this anime stigma attached to them anyway. It's fine as it is.
 
idk there just seems to be this weird disconnect that a lot of jrpg fans have with regard to game content and what's shocking/would cause a media frenzy. like freaking out about implied sex scenes when games like mass effect have real, actually sex scenes, or roundabout attempted murder when there are actual games where you actually commit murder. lots of murder. just killing the shit outta everybody.
 
They can totally put Persona on the xbox one. Like Trinity soul for example. After all, it is a tv show.

They should release a port of Persona 4 for Xbox 1 with a (possible spoiler ahead)...
modified version of the final boss to resemble kinect (even more)

Persona 4's focus world is TV world, so... haha
 
Persona is a series where school kids can summon a giant penis. The media can't handle nipples, do you really want Faux News to learn about SMT?

By the way, I love Elizabeth's dialogue when you enter the Velvet Room with Mara as your persona.

Persona has not reached mainstream. It is relatively well-known in certain circles on NeoGAF, yes, but it definitely is not mainstream.

The smartest thing would be to make P5 then reuse assets to recoup costs/make a cheaper console game. Which is why the notion of P6 on PS3 (+360?) isn't infeasible.
The smartest thing for Atlus to do is make P5, most likely for PS3 and in HD, then re-use those HD assets to create HD remakes for all their old stuff and release it on Steam.
 
Persona 5 being developed by Ninja Theory!?

no, that it's PS4 exclusive, ducky is clearly teasing something in this thread (or maybe some other threads too, I'm not gonna digging up posts, it's in poor taste.)

Persona 5 PS4 it is, it will have super amazing production values too. That's it, if it was false duckroll should change his avatar to Oreimo or something. /done
 
Atlus will be at E3, and they will have all the games. Including a new Trauma game. Especially a new Trauma game.

Cranky Persona 1/2 fans? Persona 3/4 fans who think the S.link is the best thing ever to happen to JRPGs? Check. Emotional trauma fans? Check. Arguing over whether Catherine was worthy of its praise? Check.

IT'S AN ATLUS PARTY!!

There is nothing like emotional trauma fans. They no longer exist, all thats left are emotionally traumatised fans.

hmmm, Trauma team, Mara and social links. that's one circle all right, it's all starting to make sense.

I should go sleep.
 
speaking of trauma centre/team....
that would be brilliantly suitable for the gamepad.

everything else should be multiplatform for maximum exposure.
 
Really? TGS not that good anymore or something?

There's really no point for smaller publishers to announce stuff AT major trade shows, since they don't have conferences anyway. It's more effective to announce stuff in the press before trade shows, and just exhibit the announced products at the trade show, so fans and press already know what to expect. Which is why it's silly when people say that there's no way <xxxxx> will be announced at E3 too. They can easily announce it around the same time in Japan, and it would simply be featured at E3 for the press.
 
Whilst a lack of a 5th entry so far has been very disappointing, Atlus has done a excellent job at slowly growing the Persona brand and fanbase over the last 3-4 years.

If this means we get an even grander 5th entry then I can wait a little longer.

Please be patient.
 
Historically at E3 atlus usa shows 2-4 new games/localizations

Etrian 1 remake on 3ds, devil survivor 2 3ds. You can count on those. If you talk to any of the mods on the forums. They seem to be hinting at AT LEAST this much. But who knows


My feeling on persona 5, is like smt iv. It will happen through famitsu
