Sony has to deal with them cause honestly, in this situation where the PS4 doesn't play PS3 games.. a massive ip releasing that late is a little more than a last gift to ps3 users. It's actually a reason to NOT update.. Sony should pay for the port at this point if that's what it takes.

 

[semiconscious]

Really starting to regret selling my PS3. Gaikai I have your first job ready for you!

dude! personally, gaikai'd have to seriously show me something before i'd even begin thinking about dumping my ps3. so much good stuff left to play, re-play. you have my sympathy...

 

[synce]

The teaser image alone looks more awesome than any upcoming RPG.

 

[Velcro Fly]

Knew it would be PS3. Just like last last gen we will get a jrpg surge in the final years. Niche industry that struggle is going for the deeper userbase with mature, cheaper development tools. Thats why im not jumping into next gen yet, missed out last gen by doing that. This time i will wait it with some PERSONA!

Yep same here. Time to jump in and get a PS3 and some cheap games on Black Friday.

 

[SloaneRisette]

I will import whatever Japanese limited edition they do and buy whatever American limited edition they do.

Day. Damn. One.

 

[FStop7]

Oh god
Oh god
Oh god

Someone get me a paper bag I'm hyperventilating

 

[Cornbread78]

Same here. Persona 4 came out on PS2 in 2008 for god's sake! I wouldn't be surprised if Persona 6 is a PS3 title too.

Still, Sony would love to have this as a PS4 title to move more units next winter esp. in Japan.

 

[culafia]

Don't know if it's been asked in this thread, but does winter 2014 mean January or December?

It sounds like a silly question, but when EDF Vita was announced, D3 announced it as winter 2013 and it came out in early January/February iirc.

 

[aceface]

Man just that 20 second music clip is enough to get me super hyped. Most awesome 20 second music clip ever.

 

[Alo81]

My hype is on a distant planet its so high

 

[tranciful]

That could be PS4, but i think it depends on PS4 JRPG ecosystem.

Persona audience is JRPG audience. It doesn't really matter if PS4 has more active userbase overall by 2015 if majority of it is just full of cod crowd which unlikely to buy this game. It's safer to announce the game for PS3 so their actual audience can hanging on their PS3 they already own, rather than announce it for PS4 and just hope for the best that half of their audience have the money and resolve to buy PS4.

Not really. Persona has grown beyond the JRPG audience, like Pokemon (obviously not quite to same extent). A port later down the road is more likely, yeah -- but the longer I have to wait (while it's already out on other platforms), the less excited I'll be for it. I still have my PS3 but it's harder to be excited about new games for it -- I'm even considering waiting on Dark Souls 2 to see if they port it. A year from now, I expect I'll be playing my PS3 even less than I do today.

As for cross-gen thing, Atlus surely not big enough to do this simultaneously? It is more likely if they port it later on. Look at P4Golden.

Maybe if they didn't simultaneously develop 3+ spinoffs...

It mean December 2014 to Jan/Feb 2015.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Completely agree. The chairs with the ball and chain among a red background is just so mysterious. That it builds my hype up greatly.

 

[PsionBolt]

Sweet, chairs. My favourite imagery.

 

[afoni]

I think we will get high school again. Japan loves its high school characters.

I think its a high school chair that shown on trailer, hope many of you guys settle with more darker theme. (If they actually pull that)

The image in the OP from the site kind of proves it too. Those chairs are lined up line in a classroom.

Oh well, I'll still lap it up.

 

[Acquiescence]

Disappointed there is no vita version but I'm so stoked for a new persona

Oh don't worry, there will be one eventually. Might have to wait a little while though.

January is like 6 weeks from now. If P5 was a January release, we would have had Famitsu/Jump profiles of all the characters, and a ton of gameplay vids. It's next winter.

 

[TWILT]

Would have liked to see more about Persona 5 other a little teaser, but hey, nice to see a release date for it. Nice to see it's going to be on PS3.

 

[CrazyDude]

Oh don't worry, there will be one eventually. Might have to wait a little while though.

By that point Vita will be gone.

That's what Dengeki is for.

YESSS!!!!

You are overestimating the Perona series a bit.

 

[Melrochian]

OH YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!

 

[Typographenia]

Finally! I can not wait until winter next year. : )

 

[Every Time I Die]

now let's guess how long it'll take for persona 5 to make it to the vita. I loved Golden on that system and it would be the preferred way for me to play the forthcoming title

 

[Mr. Fix]

By that point Vita will be gone.

It really should have been a cross-platform at least.

 

[Jawmuncher]

By that point Vita will be gone.

To be fair when P3P hit the PSP, PSP was "basically" dead already in the west.

 

[tranciful]

You are overestimating the Perona series a bit.

It didn't become a breakout hit by catering to conventional JRPG tendencies. Most JRPGs are boring to me.

It's not a breakout hit. Especially if we are talking about western sales.

Persona is animu game; it really doesn't have much mass appeal. Not more so than Tales, anyway.

 

[Exploding8]

Anyone who thought this wasn't going to be on PS3 was delusional.

Pretty much

 

[Dr. Buni]

Same here, I am not a fan of RPGs, besides Pokémon, Megaten and Persona. Doesn't mean the series isn't a JRPG series mainly appreciated by JRPG fans.

 

[bone_and_sinew]

It happened!

 

[Murder. She Wrote]

Aw yiss, motherfuckin Persona 5!

I do wish they announced an ultimate version of P3. Oh well, I guess I have to play P3P and just deal with the shitty ingame cutscenes

 

[sixteen-bit]

Last gen doesn't end until Atlus says it does

 

[ArchedThunder]

I really wish there was a PS4 version, oh well I guess it is pretty likely that it will be put on Gaikai for PS4.

 

[Tabby]

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes.
It took them 5 years but there's finally a sequel.
I can't wait.

 

[giancarlo123x]

Day 0. My final ps3 game.

 

[Sorian]

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes.
It took them 5 years but there's finally a sequel.
I can't wait.

:O ! 6 years until Persona 6 confirmed.

 

[tranciful]

Pokemon is also a JRPG series appreciated by JRPG fans. But some games have a wider appeal and Persona is one of them.

Persona is animu game; it really doesn't have much mass appeal. Not more so than Tales, anyway.

Pokemon isn't animu?

 

[JetSetRadio]

Was expecting and hoping for a PS3 release. AW YESSS.
PS4 crossgen would be even better, but at least I will be playing Persona 5.
In 2015

 

[Polishin8r]

why tha hell they didn't port P4 (PS2 version ) to PS3? I got P3:FES come on Atlus give us non vita users something ;;;(

 

[fertygo]

:O ! 6 years until Persona 6 confirmed.

I think the wait will shorter after this.

 

[jj984jj]

Put me in the group that is surprised that people are surprised by this. No matter what platform other than PS3 this was going to end up on (which turned out to be none), there was inevitably going to be a PS3 version.

 

[Nightengale]

Pokemon is also a JRPG series appreciated by JRPG fans. But some games have a wider appeal and Persona is one of them.

How exactly does Persona have a wider appeal, mind I ask?

Pokemon isn't animu?

Animu with mainstream appeal to young children. Also helps that Pokemon is also one of those franchises that have been able to retain its core fanbase throughout the years.

 

[Linkark07]

I'm glad I bought a PS3. First Persona I'll play in my lfie

 

[Gammacide]

Wow. Thank the maker!! It's happening!!

Also, lol that we finally get an official announcement of P5 for PS3 and yet there's still a ton of bitching about platform. THIS IS WHAT WE'VE WANTED!!! BE HAPPY!!!

 

[ArchedThunder]

Pokemon is also a JRPG series appreciated by JRPG fans. But some games have a wider appeal and Persona is one of them.

Uh... Persona is rather niche, especially compared to Pokemon.

 

[Dr. Buni]

:O ! 6 years until Persona 6 confirmed.

They have the engine, I don't think we will have to wait that much to see Persona 6 after Persona 5.

Does winter 2014 mean Q1 or Q4?

Q4 apparently.

 

[kswiston]

Does winter 2014 mean Q1 or Q4?

Q4. Q1 is only 6 weeks away. They would have been advertising months ago. Even Nintendo typically announces a game more than 1-3 months before release.

 

[ArchedThunder]

Does winter 2014 mean Q1 or Q4?

Q4
