So like. When can we expect some media? Like a screenshot? We don't even know what the game looks like, or hell what its about.
 
Hope it comes to next gen as well, but my PS3 is ready and not going anywhere.
Kinda sucks how Atlus are always a little behind the console race though, in Europe Persona 4 for the PS2 was released the same day as Resident Evil 5. It had no hope of selling :(
 
Man, this was fucking lame. They spend half of the announcement on Rise shitty dancing game, and then when it comes to the only interesting stuff they drop a "PS3, 2014 cya" after like what, 7 years?
 
I disagree, 1 year of difference is my guess, atlus has already made persona 4 golden and now it's making persona 4 dance with almost catherine level graphics, the kind of graphics i expect from persona 5, so...
We must have played very, very different verssions of Catherine
 
oh god, if they stagger a PS4 release, then a vita one...Atlus i triple dipped on Resident Evil 1, i'm not doing that again. i'm not about that life.

I can't wait for 5 Golden on vita so I can bring this post back and laugh

Because no one would buy it. Not even more than a vita version

only pop-gaf can stan one struggle and drag another so effortlessly

Because SSM and a lot of other Wii U heavy hitters are coming out around that time. Why not take the risk? I'm not trolling but feel like this was an opportunity for them to cover all bases.

i get your point, but ports take resources, and Atlus runs an extremely tight ship - if they didn't do it for the huge Wii userbase, why would they now?
 
Yeah! But it would have been nice to see a bit more.

Sony really need to push for a PS4 Port. How should these Games be succesful in the West if they are never released on the most recent Hardware? Especially now with no Backwards Compatibility.

Persona 3 was released a few Months before PS3 in Japan, and after the PS3 in the West.
Persona 4 obviously even later.

Now Persona 5 will be released at best 1 Year after PS4, Probably it will be more like 1,5 to 2 years with localization.


Do something Sony! If you do nothing yourself for JRPGs since the PS1 you could at least do something like that.

Yeah. I'm bummed too. Most of the hype to them was the handheld games, but P5 gets zero, just a splash page saying its coming.
 
OMG I wanted to make this post


AHAHAHAHAHA


People were so SURE just because a spin off was multi.


I'm so glad Atlus had common sense

Well Catherine was on 360 as well and I remember it selling decent.

Common sense would dictate that Atlus release a 360 version to get more sales

It is very satisfying to get even a few seconds if it means getting official confirmation of P5's existence.

Is the 360 even a viable option in Japan? I get that it makes sense for the West, but....Japan.
 
Lots of crow to be eaten with this announcement. I am sure most are happy to be wrong though.

Also day 1 if not region locked.

Probably pretty soon assuming that Dengeki Playstation was referring to this when they said that they'd have a cover story for a "certain major new title" in their next issue. It's due out this week.

It was a foolproof plan.

Lower everyone's hopes so deep into the earth that they're sticking out the other end of the planet, so that even a contentless reveal can be lauded this loudly instead of, you know, people deservedly calling out on Atlus for what is a shite reveal.
 
At least we will get trailers and gameplay and stuff.
UNLESS they copy Square ****ing Enix.

Another point... since they've got PersonaQ and a Dancing game...

Does this mean, for the sake of advertisement for the above 2 games...

THAT THERE WILL BE A MEDIA BLACKOUT ON PERSONA 5

UNTIL THOSE 2 GAMES ARE RELEASED?

because any further reveal for P5 will diminish the hype for the above 2 games

Not if Atlus JP decided it wasn't worth the extra effort, and it probably isn't, especially in Japan.
 
So we have to sit through another year of waiting basically

Another year

That is a long time you know? Like real long

This is true. It may even be long enough for the PS4 to start doing crazy well and for them to decide it's worth porting there as well. BELIEVE! :P

It makes more sense to release the game on PS3 as it has a much larger user base early on.

cost of 360 development + marketing + distribution = may not be worth it

it's opportunity cost. sharing your resources across two platforms will provide different results compared to focusing them on 1 platform.

No there's no common sense there. Waste of time. Niche JRPGs always sold better on PS3/Sony Consoles for the most part.
 
Do you want the honest reason?

When the Wii U was announced, the pre-release threads were littered with folks who championed the machine would destroy the PS3 in Japan and render it irrelevant. The irony is, the Wii U has failed to do anything but remain a stationary platform in a country where almost all consoles are dead except for the PS3.

Releasing on the Wii U with an install base that is literally a drop in the bucket compared to PS3 is asinine and short sighted. You want console JRPGs? Learn Japanese, play them on PS3, and be grateful the genre excists :/.

If PS4 fails to get any traction, I expect the same, unless Sony goes out of their way to fix the problem before it happens.

I feel like with the heavy hitters hitting the Wii U, it's going to gain traction exactly at that same time.

I don't think that they care all that much about the side games to delay any info about P5 especially after so long...

We will likely get info periodically unless they go stupid and don't tell us anything until Summer 2014...

I feel like with the heavy hitters hitting the Wii U, it's going to gain traction exactly at that same time.

What are these heavy hitters and how many are first party Nintendo titles?
 
Since red is the main color this time maybe the enhanced re-release will be called Crimson or Ruby or Blazing Red Inferno! Er well maybe they'll come up with a better name. :D
 
I totally forgot about that, although I can't think of anything that's ever been announced as a vague "winter ___" that's meant the early part of the year. Especially when the Persona 4-milking games are coming out in Summer.

Seems weird that they'd release P5 and then all the fanservice stuff for 3 and 4.
Seems I misremembered, there was more than six months between SMT IV's announcement and release. Persona 4 came out a few months after it was unveiled, which is what I was thinking of.
