Persona 5 for PS3 announcement leaked?

Every time I see this thread pop up on the first page of the forum I secretly hope that it's
A) a new thread that just happens to have the same name
B) someone in the thread actually has information.
Granted, I'll take a mainline SMT on PS3 over Persona right now, but both series are well worth the slight chance that those two conditions above will actually happen when I click the thread. :lol

I'm playing through it right now and it's alright. The story and the presentation is pushing the limits of B.S. for me. There were so many instances where I was tempted to bail out, but right now things are finally starting to get interesting. (Just over the half way point)
The combat is very simple and reminds me of Crisis Core meets Pokemon.

wow, it's been years since I've seen someone say this. Btw, the 360 is the RPG and Shmup system this gen.
Shouta said:
I think this is where I am at also. I absolutely loved P4, and I'm thankful that it was the first RPG my now fiance has ever seen played. She really enjoyed watching me play it, so the idea of a Persona 5 now is appealing to her. I wouldn't mind another Persona, but I think if I was to choose, I would choose SMT4 over another Persona. A new DDS would be nice also :drool:

Western Rpgs sure, but jrpgs wise, it's getting pretty evenly matched.
With Vesperia and rumors of SO4 being ported, the only remaining notable good jrpg exclusives the 360 has over the PS3 are the Mistwalker stuff and possibly LR. The PS3 does have their own exclusive stuff as well.

the point wasn't what will be there in the future (or rumored to be there), it's that all that stuff is out now for the 360 and people made it the jrpg system this gen. there's really no question that Persona 5 on the 360 would sell better than on the PS3 in the U.S.
Three weeks ago, I was right there with everyone else who was hoping against hope that P5 was not coming because of how badly I wanted a new genuine Shin Megami Tensei game instead and because of the steady barrage of P3, P3 Fes, and P4. But now, after Strange Journey's announcement, I don't really mind if Persona 5 gets announced and comes out in 2010. I'm getting exactly what I want, so I'm at peace with whatever else Atlus does.

It would sell more on PS3 in Japan than it would on 360 in Japan and the United States combined, hands down, which means the best solution is PS360.

If this P5 thing is real, then I'd support this thinking. And iunno, maybe I'd like a Persona on HD platform.ethelred said:

I may love me some new-wave Persona
(P3 and P4 are the best RPGs ever followed ever-so-closely by Skies of Arcadia, I will not be deterred from this)

Grand Theft Auto - Late half-assed Xbox ports of GTA3/SA?
Final Fantasy - Every mainline game after VI has been PS exclusive?
Star Ocean - yeah first one was on SNES, are you really reaching that much?
All of those series are synonyms with Playstation and went multi, why would you even try to argue that?
onken said:
GTA is mostly a PC franchise which happened to find massive popularity on consoles during a time when the PS2 was really the only worthwhile console to publish anything on. It's not a Playstation brand so much as it's a game which happened to find popularity during a time when the Playstation consoles were the only real viable consoles. Dragon Quest games were on Playstation consoles after VI too, no one really considers them part of the Playstation brand though. I wonder why!
Star Ocean isn't even much of a series. There is Star Ocean on the SFC, Star Ocean Blue Sphere on the GBC, Star Ocean 2nd Story on the PS1, Star Ocean 3 on PS2, and Star Ocean 4 on Xbox360. 5 releases, 5 different systems, 2 of them being Playstation. Maybe you're the one reaching here.

Many franchises have changed the camps over the time and will continue to do so. People need to start accepting this.
ethelred said:
These are pretty much my thoughts, too. We're getting a old-school SMT dungeon crawler. Is there really anything else to ask for?
Between P4 and P5, we'll have at least gotten Raidou 2, Devil Survivor, Persona PSP, Strange Journey, and possibly Devil Survivor 2. That's at a minimum three SMT games of different genres between Persona sequels.

You might have had a point if it wasn't for the ridiculous amounts of wailing/crowing when GTA4 went multi and SO4 went to 360. If it was to be expected, why all the drama? Though I agree GTA was mostly a "marriage of convenience", so to speak.
Misterinenja said:
I know, that was my point. Somebody was arguing that Persona wouldn't go multiplatform because it's always been associated with Playstation, when of course there's plenty of examples to the contrary.

Yeah sorry didn't actually even need to quote your post for that statement.
Well at least I would be happy for Persona 5 PS3. I have no idea why people are saying that the franchise needs to slow down since it has just hit it's stride (especially in States).
As someone who generally dislikes JRPGs, I loved Persona 4. Take that for what you will.
EDIT: Okay so here's a question. What would they do with the upgrade to the PS3? I wouldn't really want too much of a graphical step-up from P4 as Atlus doesn't have the money to do that kind of thing. What I would want is for them to use the space on the blu-ray as much as possible by adding in loads of new Personas, side-quests, S-Links and optional dungeons (I don't think the main quest needs to be any longer).

Personally, I'd be happy if they kept the SMT/Persona games on PS2. I don't own a PS3, but that's not the reason (a PS3 SMT game would be reason enough for me to buy one).
The reason why Persona 4 was such a success for Atlus was because it was very cheap and quick to make compared to current-gen games. I loved Persona 4 so much, that I stopped noticing the last-gen graphics very quickly.
If playing SMT games in last-gen graphics means we get to see more of them, then I think that's a small price to pay. As for them releasing so many that the series becomes stagnant, I don't think that's going to be a concern for a long time.
Though of course, if they could release PS3/360 SMT games with the same frequency as PS2, then by all means, I'd rather see them on those systems.

I'd still rather have it on the PS2, But I definitely could see Sony going out and money hatting this one to the PS3. An RPG series with a devoted following(On the rise with sales) and it shouldn't be all too hard to get compared to trying net another much larger companies RPGs.
Even though I'm still holding out for SMT IV. I wouldn't say no to another Persona.

It's been a long time, been a long time, been a long lonely lonely lonely lonely lonely time.
I honestly don't think putting Persona on PS3/360 would change the game that much. I mean, P3 & P4 aren't exactly graphical beasts on the PS2. It's not like a Final Fantasy title where it's going to be one of the better looking games on the console. In P3/P4 you really don't ever get to see the character models up close and a lot of the emotions are displayed in the character art during dialogue.
This is were I have my problem with it. Atlus really isn't known for their technical work. So I doubt we'll see too much of an upgrade there and I rather not have the next gen pricing bump either(If it does happen, I am being presumptuous about this). It's just I love saving money as much as I do their games. I'd say if anything, I rather have them on Wii than PS3/360. Or even continued support on DS/PSP for a bit more sounds nice.Zoso said:

The thing is they don't have the budget and that's a plus on their games in my opinion. I think it was from the Play magazine interview in regards to their budget. The director of P4 stated that they don't have a big budget for their games and that they work within logical constraints to give more in context. The focus then goes into the input the player is given like the social links, the "small town" setting and dungeons.
Haven't most(?) of the tiles center around a few cities and or a district of some sort anyway? You definitely get that less is more here. Whenever we see that next gen jump were going to see a leap on the gameplay definitely and design. Yes the artwork and presentation will be eye candy(its Kazuma afterall) good but the pow will be in whatever they flip the script with.

I'd just like to see any next gen SMT game at this point. I know people are saying budget is an issue, but isn't Atlus Japan fucking huge and rich? Reading about them in Arcade Mania made it seem like they are a much larger, household name than Atlus USA would like us to believe (since they probably do get some sales from people who buy games "just to support Atlus.")
I think they could easily get away with a slightly upgraded engine with some AA and slightly better lighting/texture. As long as Kaneko's art work carries it.

As I'm just getting around to completing Persona 4 for the first time, an announcement of Persona 5 would literally cause such a level of excitement in me that I would cease to exist along the normal probability axis of this plural sector.

I've mentioned this before and I have to agree 100%. An HD Kaneko masterpiece is all I want at this point; I would prefer a mainline SMT game but I will accept P5 if the rumors turn out to be true. They've sold me on Strange Journey though!
To be honest, I would much rather have Atlus make a port of all of Persona 2 onto the PSP before making Persona 5. Make the entire series easy to get to in NA. Just hope that Sony doesn't still uphold the "Wait, its a port you say! You can't publish that in NA, we have arbitrary standards!"
