Terrible behaviour from Atlus for going on multiple platforms to insist a 2015 release.

 

[LiK]

GAF am cry

fixed

 

[JigglesBunny]

I can do nothing but laugh, unfortunately.

 

[grimmiq]

Wasn't it just last month that they reconfirmed 2015?

 

[Dwight Schrute]

This image tells my feelings perfectly.

Morgana: "You didn't make it in time, huh..."

Where is it from ??

 

[wrowa]

Not surprised really, but odd they were still adamant it was going to be 2015 just weeks ago.

Weeks ago? More like yesterday. I mean, Nich just posted this in response to Anihawk speculating that "Westeners will look forward to Persona 5 a year from now". Why would he do that if Anihawk was, in fact, completely spot on? It just doesn't make sense.

I really expect this to be Atlus trolling with its fans. They know that people think it's delayed and will unveil on their special stage on the 19th that, hey, guess what, it's coming 2015 after all.

I don't really care if it's delayed - 2015 is packed anyway -, but all of this just doesn't make a lick of sense.

 

[itchyass86]

Dang. This news make my nether-regions extremely flaccid.

 

[Heimbeck]

In happier news, I've spoken with some Atlus people and the game will release earlier than expected in Europe, we only have to wait til fall 2019 now.

They will keep saying that until a few months before December, and then delay until 2021.

 

[Hugstable]

Not surprised in the least. At least we now have a better timeframe of Summer!

Terrible behaviour from Atlus for going on multiple platforms to insist a 2015 release.

Yeah that was some lame shit they were pulling

 

[Valkerionseven]

Hilarious.

Atlus: I swear bros, totes 2015!
Gaf: Mmmm nah bro ain't happening
Atlus: It's coming, TGS BELIEVE IT!
Gaf: Ok, man w/e hype train comeith
Atlus: Summer 2016, GET HYPE!!!!
Gaf: Mmmhmmm.... -.-

 

[Sidewinder]

Wouldn't be upset about this if they didn't keep repeating the 2015 date time after time when people called them on how unlikely it was starting to look.

Yeah that's really annoying, can't wait for this dance to begin with GT7...

 

[Alucrid]

I believed too. Oh well, more time for people to get to the end for GOTY 2016

 

[artsi]

Where is it from ??

It came right after the trailer with the delay announcement.

 

[Matriox]

I'm sort of okay with this.. I did audibly say noooo.jpg, but I've got plenty of other games this holiday, summer is usually pretty light so I'll take it with (hopefully) less glitches next year.

 

[Super Stardust]

 

[Kazuhira]

I can wait,i'm full hands with mgsv.
Also,i have fallout 4,bloodborne's dlc and Ds3 to keep me busy until this comes out.

 

[yaffi]

PS3 games coming out in 2016. lol

Releasing the game in 2016 also includes quietly scrapping the PS3 version.

Spoiler

Bringing it to the Vita instead.

 

[Human_me]

This was expected.
Heres looking forward to summer 2016!

 

[KeRaSh]

Oh come on!

 

[Possumowner]

Well there it is...not surprised...just dissapointed

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

No surprise really. All the signs were pointing at this. Don't know why people would think otherwise aside from blind hope.

I assumed that Atlus was a trustworthy company that wouldn't make empty promises and bald-faced lies to its fans. Guess I was wrong. Good to know for the future.

 

[QuiteWhittle]

This is a pretty big delay.

 

[Tiu Neo]

Sad, but expected.

Well, then, at least I'll get XCX this year.

 

[Zareka]

Man...I wouldn't be as bummed if it wasn't such a huge delay. We're potentially another year out from the JP release. 15 minutes ago I was anticipating having the game in 3 months tops.

 

[SSReborn]

Damn.. not even a spring delay. But summer geez.

 

[Dragon1893]

I stopped buying the 2015 BS a long time ago.

 

[Asd202]

PS3 games coming out in 2016. lol

Yeah...

 

[N30RYU]

 

[Sir Blaming]

Kinda expected though. No way that this game was going to be released with so little information anyway.

 

[DaSorcerer7]

Wouldn't be upset about this if they didn't keep repeating the 2015 date time after time when people called them on how unlikely it was starting to look.

Exactly. That's why I find the "Expected" responses here baffling.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

Funny, this game could release in NA/EU the time also FFXV releases...

 

[ShogunDarius]

no one is gonna trust Atlus PR ever again, or if you're in Europe, no change

 

[Forearm Star]

Was hoping this wouldn't conflict with other upcoming games of the same genre. Hopefully it does drop in the summer to help with any draughts during that season.

 

[Bunta]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

 

[Zalman]

The top three of my "most anticipated games of 2015" list I posted last year got delayed.

Maybe I should just stop posting those.

 

[Sami+]

The longer this game takes to release the less interest I have in it, honestly. I'm just not as into SoL anime stuff as I used to be - really want to be proven wrong by some amazing trailer or something but that's not happening.

 

[GnawtyDog]

This better guarantee a simultaneous worldwide release (including Europe) am I right?

 

[Aaronrules380]

Hey, at least we can now expect a holiday release in the west for next year

 

[Busaiku]

Funny, this game could release in NA/EU the time also FFXV releases...

You don't seriously believe that.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Well, then, at least I'll get XCX this year.

Yeah, don't forget Tales of Zestiria too!

 

[Asd202]

Funny, this game could release in NA/EU the time also FFXV releases...

Which would be the worst possible scenario.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Yay, I can delay getting a PS4.

 

[Silver Arrows]

Told you all.

 

[kgtrep]

Darn, I was looking forward to playing it this year.

 

[Son Of D]

P5 and FFXV possibly releasing a few months within each other... Well JRPG threads are about to get more toxic.

Funny, this game could release in NA/EU the time also FFXV releases...

Just NA. EU release will probably be after FFXV.

 

[JetSetRadio]

PS3 games coming out in 2016. lol

That 10 year cycle lol.

 

[Mestizo]

Being the Neogaf's waifu, i can understand the hurt, but i still give a fuck.
Don't be so sad gaf.

 

[Philippo]

Well i was already packed with games to play in the coming months so...

Only hope is that it doesn't release close to FFXV or other RPGs (SO5, Horizon).

 

[Vincent Grayson]

You don't seriously believe that.

Given that FFXV's release date is being announced in March, and assuming they don't delay, their entry in Gamescom's awards this year suggests they expect to be out by August at the latest, it is entirely possible.

 

[Stone Ocean]

Summer in Japan or NA?
