FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

Atlus I had faith :/

 

[Wedge7]

Sucks, but honestly not that sad. Give it more time to get polished, work out the bugs etc. From what I saw in the trailer, things look like they are coming along beautifully. Game looks sick.

 

[Asd202]

Summer in Japan or NA?

Japan of course NA is TBA.

 

[DJChuy]

That is a pretty big delay...again. I wonder what's going on. This sucks; I trusted you Atlus!

Well this delay allows me to play Yakuza 5 now.

 

[IdreamofHIME]

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.... -.-

Wasn't it Atlus USA though? Just shows how little info those kids are getting from the big boys in Japan.

 

[Liamc723]

Anyone who thought this game was releasing in 2015 was very deluded. If you're a retail game that by August, still doesn't have a release date, you're not coming out this year.

 

[gdt]

You had to be insane to think this was coming this year.

 

[RevolverRoden]

lol

 

[Kenzodielocke]

You don't seriously believe that.

I do, who knows how they're working on localizaion.

 

[Gothos]

Where's this screenshot in the OP from? New trailer?

 

[JimPanzer]

upupupupup

almost got me #team2015, almost

 

[cyba89]

The bad thing is not the delay. The bad thing is they insisted so long that this will definitely come out in 2015.

 

[giancarlo123x]

That's sad. Take your time Atlus.

 

[artsi]

Anyone who thought this game was releasing in 2015 was very deluded. If you're a retail game that by August, still doesn't have a release date, you're not coming out this year.

It's happened before with Atlus (and Persona, to be precise), and they said 2015 over and over again. Can't blame the audience with this one.

 

[Heimbeck]

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

Seems highly unlikely.
I'm going to say it will be summer for Japan, holidays for America and spring/summer of 2017 for Europe.

 

[captainpat]

FUCK

 

[Ridley327]

I'm sure that Atlus USA didn't intend to mislead people, but even though all the signs were there, this isn't a good look for them.

 

[Dark_castle]

I'm still halfway thru P4 and haven't played P3 yet, so a delay to P5 is fine with me.

 

[Danielsan]

Giant bummer. But I'll manage. Still have MGS V, The Witcher 3, Super Mario Maker and Bloodborne DLC to get me through the winter.

 

[Nugg]

How is this a surprise to anyone?

 

[Sadist]

Man I saw some people calling out Anihawk being overly negative on P5's releasedate; those folks must feel silly.

Oh well, I was counting on spring 2016 anyway

 

[Vincent Grayson]

Seems highly unlikely.
I'm going to say it will be summer for Japan, holidays for America and spring/summer of 2017 for Europe.

Probably, especially since FFXV is targeting a worldwide release and probably coming in Summer as well. I don't think P5 wants to release next to FF, especially in the West.

 

[SprachBrooks]

LOL -- I fucking knew it, yet people kept deluding themselves and thinking that, a game with a winter release date, whose publisher has been so quiet about, was going to stick to the release window. Like this isn't a month or two delay, this is 6+ months. They obviously knew way beforehand but kept stating it was 2015.

 

[Big Green Anus]

Anyone who thought this game was releasing in 2015 was very deluded. If you're a retail game that by August, still doesn't have a release date, you're not coming out this year.

That's true in most cases, but it didn't help with Atlus constantly keep saying 2015.

 

[Sir Griffith]

I kinda expected this, but it still hurts

 

[N30RYU]

The PV3 trailer

[Sifl]

Why'd it have to be summer. That could basically mean a year from now, I could handle Feb-April.

 

[daevious]

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.

In what world does skating down a Pyramid count as Slice of Life?

 

[Acquiescence]

#TeamRuin wins. God, I really wish I wasn't right in this particular case.

 

[RyoonZ]

The bad thing is not the delay. The bad thing is they insisted so long that this will definitely come out in 2015.

Yup, anyone can see the delay coming.

 

[semiconscious]

I am shocked.
Shocked.

#teamhardin: r.i.p. ...

 

[Heimbeck]

Probably, especially since FFXV is targeting a worldwide release and probably coming in Summer as well. I don't think P5 wants to release next to FF, especially in the West.

It's also how Persona 4 released, on PS2 and Vita.

 

[andymcc]

noooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[PartTimeWarrior]

Called it

 

[Kazer]

god damnit.

UGHHHHHHH ATLUSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

 

[mdubs]

Crying right now at this

 

[bigwinnerx]

Too much to play in the rest of 2015 and waaaay too late to announce in 2015 anyway.

 

[tilomite!]

Did anybody expect this to make 2015?

 

[ys45]

I knew it !

And to be honest I don't mind because there is way too many games coming in the next few months .

 

[Liamc723]

That's true in most cases, but it didn't help with Atlus constantly keep saying 2015.

Well now that this has happened, it's proof that you can't really trust any developer.

 

[mrmyhthef]

I expected a delay but summer 2016 is like 9 months from now. Could potentially be a year before we see it in the west.

 

[Briarios]

In what world does skating down a Pyramid count as Slice of Life?

If that isn't your typical day, you have a boring life. I feel bad for you. /s

Wasn't it within the last week they said 2015? Wouldn't the better response have been, "We'll have more info at TGS!" Of course, there is always the possibility that those releasing the info weren't privy to the date slipping. It's annoying, but better to get the game right.

 

[TheMrPliskin]

In some alternate universe this game had already come out back in winter 2014.

 

[stryke]

Did anybody expect this to make 2015?

Read this thread

Atlus USA: We Can Confirm Persona 5 Is Launching In North America in 2015

 

[Gbraga]

Just when I decided to believe. I'll never trust you again, GAF.

 

[zulux21]

i'm glad I have work right now so I can get less pissed at atlus usa before I watch the eventual english subbed version of this trailer as I couldn't enjoy the trailer knowing how repeatedly atlus usa lied :/

I will still adore the game next year, and don't mind one bit it was delayed really, just mad I was lied to repeatedly.

 

[wapplew]

Just add more craziness in 2016

 

[bacardi]

Shame - but Atlus never failed to deliver

 

[artsi]

Did anybody expect this to make 2015?

Yes, it wouldn't have been strange considering their past releases, not mentioning them confirming 2015 just a few weeks ago.

There was all the reasons to believe it was coming out in 2015 (at least in Japan), so those who got it right with their pessimism this time shouldn't act like smartasses here.

 

[opoth]

That's fine, Fallout 4 and Xenoblade X were going to be eating up the rest of the year anyways. My first big reason for buying a PS4 has been pushed back at least 6 months, so my wallet will be thanking me there too.
