Update:



A pretty reputable Persona and general Sega leaker has claimed that a Persona 2 and 4 Remake are in the works at Atlus.



Whomever I'm a Hero Too followed up saying P2 isn't a remake but a remaster for both parts.

Persona 4 remake...

 

[GrayChild]

Enough with all these goddamn remakes FFS!

4 could definitely use it. I played it again in the lead up to P5R on PC and the difference between the two is massive.

 

[Kurotri]

4 I understand, but why is 2 only getting a remaster? If anything, that's the one that needs a remake no?

 

[Danjin44]

Enough with all these goddamn remakes FFS!

This year we are getting two new IP from Atlus.

What's wrong with 4 Golden ?
It's totally ok gameplay-wise and graphics are ok.

 

[Jesb]

The gen of remakes. I don’t mind though.

 

[Reaseru]

Well, Persona 4 is a no brainer. The Persona series will only move foward under the supervision of Katsura Hashino, and has long he's entertained with Metaphor, P-Studio will fill that void in production with remakes the fans have been asking for years.

 

[gaming_again]

Cool, I look forward to Yosuke being completely rewritten.

 

[Ferdimage]

I prefer a remake of 2, had enough of the school life.
Currently playing through P3 Reload, and its exhausting.

Hashino will no longer work on Persona, that’s why he made Studio Zero….he moved on, same way original team moved on after Persona 1 and Persona 2 IN/EP.

P5’s actually crafted dungeons are much better than the procedural ones in P4. Not sure they would change that but just running through random corridors is way more boring. There’s a lot of other QOL stuff too that I see they’ve implemented in P3R that I could see going into it too. Don’t get me wrong, I love P4G but it’s dated, and if they want to give it some updates, I’d give it another play.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

P4G is god-tier, wouldn't be mad at a remake

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Well this is good news for me since I haven't played Person 4 Golden yet (was waiting for the Switch physical release) so I guess might as well wait for the remake now.

 

[Mownoc]

Why only remaster 2 but remake 4? Kind of backwards.

Persona 4 Golden obviously holds up a metric ton better than Persona 2. I love Persona 3-5 but I'm not even considering playing 1-2 without a remake.

 

[Nankatsu]

Persona 2 would be interesting, never played it.

Now P4 it's my least favourite persona, so easy pass.

 

[Danjin44]

Why remaster 2 but remake 4? Kind of backwards.

Persona 2 is very old game and very different game than P3-5, I don’t think Atlus is willing to spend that much resource to make entire from ground up.

in Honestly you don’t want that, remaster and some QOL is more than enough for Persona 2.

 

[BennyBlanco]

Would love to see how a p2 remake handles this

 

[Mokus]

4 I understand, but why is 2 only getting a remaster? If anything, that's the one that needs a remake no?

Persona 2 actually came out in two parts but in the west we never got it both on the same platform. More precisely one part came out on the PlayStation One and the other part on the PSP. So getting the whole game as a
remake after such a long time would be very good.

But of course, I also want a P4 remake as soon as possible.

 

[Sub_Level]

Persona 4 remake...

You can rest assured. P4 remake is a done deal. Atlus will be more than happy to sell you the same game again.

 

[Radical Dreamer]

P4 remake is a must but. Hope they wouldn't change a thingsl though. And i'd like to oryginal Chie's english VA to come back

 

[LordCBH]

4 doesn’t need it.

 

[MudoSkills]

I tried playing the first half of P2 when it came out on PSP but found it an absolute chore. It also prominently features characters and references stuff from P1 which I hadn't played.

If all three games are available I'd give the it another shot after finishing the first game.

 

[FingerBang]

Don't expect these games to come out any time soon. Atlus takes its sweet time with those games. I heard P3R was already in production or pre-production in 2019 (with P6). Wouldn't be shocked to see P4R to be released around the same time the next-gen drops

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

Well if Persona 3 remake is there, makes sense that Persona 4 too. Though P3 still looks good I think.

But it is amazing to see how productive Sega these days. They release a lot of games and fast.

Don’t get me wrong, I love P4G but it’s dated, and if they want to give it some updates, I’d give it another play.

Yes, but if they will completely recreate the dungeons so that it's hand crafted and not procedural, then they can just as well spend some more time and budget on it and create ful-scale Persona 6.

 

[kunonabi]

4 I understand, but why is 2 only getting a remaster? If anything, that's the one that needs a remake no?

Modern Atlus would fuck it up. A remaster is perfectly fine by me.

You'll nazi it coming.

 

[MagnetoWasRight]

This year we are getting two new IP from Atlus.

Unicorn Overlord is only being published by Atlus and is developed by Vanillaware.

 

[Deerock71]

Enough with all these goddamn remakes FFS!

It seems like the industry has always tried to emulate Hollywood one way or the other.

 

[Danjin44]

Unicorn Overlord is only being published by Atlus and is developed by Vanillaware.

I know that but my point was Atlus is releasing/publishing two new IPs this year, as long as they continue to do that I don’t mind they release remaster/remakes of their older titles.

There was also a terrorist guy who looked a lot like Osama Bin Laden who would give you stuff for mapping out buildings and giving him the floor plans. The game came out before 9/11

[Mr Hyde]

P2 would be cool since I haven't played it but P4 ain't worth it for me since I didn't care for it that much.

 

[Zheph]

I don't think 4 needs it.. erm at least we are getting Metaphor

 

[ANDS]

Exactly this. I refunded P3R on PC because I just realized it was the same game I had already dumped hundreds of hours in its sequels. Nothing in P3R is done better than the other modern games. A full blown remake of those sounds a lot better than remaking a game that was just released on PC.

. . .I mean, if they are into remaking games to fit a wider audience: how about remaking the funking games you've got on the DS Atlus? I bet a ton of people would love to play Strange Journey or the SMT IV story on a console with updated graphics and a "modern" design approach.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Enough with all these goddamn remakes FFS!

Persona 2 I'm cool with..I've never played it and many havent. It's a much older and a remake of it would feel fresh.

Persona 4 though isn't so pressing and the current version feels to play and looks fine with the Golden Remaster.

 

[saintjules]

This is just another case of people confused with what is a remaster versus a remake.

Remaster = re-polish of the existing work.

Remake = changes and add-ons to the original structure.

 

[Ar¢tos]

You can rest assured. P4 remake is a done deal. Atlus will be more than happy to sell you the same game again.

But the new Epilogue will be paid DLC, and skins and BGM.

 

[Bring Back Scalebound]

I love Persona 2, but can we PLEASE make NEW games? Jesus christ...

Again, Atlus back in the PlayStation 2 days released a total of 7 NEW Shin Megami Tensei games, including P3 and 4.

Also, Persona 2 has already been remade. The PSP version, is a remake of the original. And it's a really good version, that offers both the original soundtrack, and new revision of that soundtrack.

Isn't Persona 4 Golden enough? Are people really that vapid that everything needs to be a new shiny version of a thing that was already definitive?

In my country

 

[Celcius]

I’m holding off until P4 until it gets a remake so this is music to my ears.

 

[Deleted member 1159]

Yes, but if they will completely recreate the dungeons so that it's hand crafted and not procedural, then they can just as well spend some more time and budget on it and create ful-scale Persona 6.

I bet they can do both

 

[meech]

Persona 4 remake...

Right now, Atlus released Persona 3 Reload, so they there is enough reason for hope.

 

[NeverYouMind]

If they redo Persona 2 they better not censor it outside of giving Hitler a pair of aviators and calling him Fuhrer.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Bumping this as Midori has reiterated yesterday that a P4 Remake will indeed happen.

 

[Sanepar]

P4 doesn't need a remake.

 

[Shake Your Rump]

I feel like I am in some sort of time loop where the same fucking games just keep being released over and over.

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

Hope this is true, these games deserve it.
