At least we knew it was fake pretty quick

 

[fantomena]

At least I told ya'll you shouldn't start hyping for a Persona 5 PC version.

Still, would be glad if it was happening.

 

[madjoki]

At least we knew it was fake pretty quick

Maybe it was hacked after news got posted?

Spoiler

 

[Bartholomuse]

Lol, sounded waaaaay too good to be true. Putting out a simultaneous PC version ala Tales of Zestiria would be an actual progressive and profitable move from Atlus, so obviously it was fake.

We just have to keep hoping and wishing and reach out for the truth.

Spoiler

WE WILL GET PERSONA 4...SOMEDAY

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Now give me Persona 4 Golden and Dragon's Crown and rip my Vita.

Even though it's evidently fake, you would probably just expect Atlus' in-house games and IPs (Shin Megami Tensei, Persona, Trauma Center, Catherine, Etrian Odyssey, etc.).

 

[Anteater]

finished deus ex human revolution director's cut, thanks to level selector so I could continue! Now what do I replace this game with...

 

[Annubis]

Persona 5 on PC? Sweet. I know a lot of people here were really hoping for that.

Now if they can just release Star Ocean 5 on PC, I won't even need to buy a PS4.

 

[jshackles]

Now if they can just release Star Ocean 5 on PC, I won't even need to buy a PS4.

And now, apparently, Persona 5

 

[Bartholomuse]

Now if they can just release Star Ocean 5 on PC, I won't even need to buy a PS4.

You still need to buy a PS4 ;(((((

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Hmm, if PC had been listed and PS4 taken off the site I imagine it would've been a lot less funny to folks.

But hey whatever works for Sega I guess, they could be forcing Atlus to do it but they haven't so that's on them I guess.

 

[Tizoc]

P5 on PC is more of a matter of time, besides it releasing on PC would cover for its development costs+generate good revenue.
The brand is strong, release a good port on Steam and it'll make good money for Atlus.

 

[GaussTek]

Even though it's evidently fake, you would probably just expect Atlus' in-house games and IPs (Shin Megami Tensei, Persona, Trauma Center, Catherine, Etrian Odyssey, etc.).

Vanillaware's George Kamitani has showed up interest (or at least exploring solutions) to bring their games to PC, so there's a chance... even though that was about a year ago, and nothing has been said since then.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Doesn't affect me since I have a PS4, but Atlus starting to put their stuff on PC would be great. I feel like their SMT line would do well there.

 

[Hektor]

Ima going back to play FFIX then i guess.

 

[Annubis]

And now, apparently, Persona 5

Weekend ruined.

You'd still need to get it for Nier Automata though.

If Atuls Japan would care they had allready released Persona 3 and 4 for PC. Both would sell 500k+++ units with ease

 

[Tizoc]

Just show them a crazy ass presentation filled with exaggerated proof that releasing on the Steam service will yield them more Yen than they ever dreamed possible and how anti-piracy secure it is.
By the time it reaches its 1 millionth owner 1 month after release on Steam, just keep the fact that some 500K pirates pirated the game and you're golden :V

If Atuls Japan would care they had allready released Persona 3 and 4 for PC. Both would sell 500k+++ units with ease

I mean P4G alone would make bank if sold at what $20?
Heck don't put much restriction and make it a good port, let people mod it so it becomes the WWE Persona game they've dreamed of and whammo instant 1 mil in a year's time :V

 

[Jawmuncher]

Atlus has to start at some point. Or I guess they could just ignore PC forever.

Isn't that what they have done so far except for some ACE Team releases?

 

[Tizoc]

See if only they knew the money they were losing to emulators running P3 and P4 games, they'd want to make bank on dat ish.
But as I think Durante wrote, some Japanese devs are thick headed and livin' in the 80s :V

 

[texhnolyze]

Lol, the Atlus website is hacked.

Hype deflated.

The page is updated now. But it's also interesting that both hacker and atlus haven't bothered to change the PS4 & PC part in there.

Now if they can just release Star Ocean 5 on PC, I won't even need to buy a PS4.

Dragon Quest XI though..

The thing its that I am sure some normal employee already told them about Steam or someone from Atlus USA and told them how much money they can make, but some 60 year old CEO thinks PCs are for Visual novels and "console games" wont sell on it.

We have enough of those stories from some people on GAF trying to talk to japanese CEOs that didnt even know about Steam and said "if it doesnt exist in Japan, it doesnt exist anywhere else."

The thing is the mindset of those oldtimer CEOs. Look at Idea factory. Their CEO Haru Akenaga is quite young IIRC and he gets that their titles sell great on Steam. All of their titles together are at about 550 million sold units.

 

[freshVeggie]

RIP Atlus USA PR.

You guys told me it would never happen.

Holy shit if they actually canned PS3 and are releasing kn PC at the same time. That would be freaking HUGE.


Also you could start pointing at a certain Atlus PR and start laughing at him

Wish it was real but the reactions are bitter-sweet now that it's confirmed fake.

Not confirmed fake at all! The initial leak was legit, and someone else hacked the site after to make it look like it was fake!

Started playing more Banner Saga on the side and I got to a camp section. Any tips? Should I promote every guy or something? (I don't even know how - I know it takes R).

Yes, you can promote them once you click Heroes in a camp, and if they've leveled up enough to allow promotion.

Early on you can promote fairly willy nilly. Halfway through though and you'll be struggling for renown between level ups, supplies, and items so it's best to focus on characters you really like or that seem important to the story.

Well, provided you encounter some of the same story beats as I did. Toward the end I was mostly using it for supplies as every thing I did managed to screw up when it came to them.

Not a bad bundle for that price. I remember paying some money for Geneforce Saga. Too bad it didn't turn out to be my type of game.

Rage definitely had some great artwork, especially in the second half of the game.

Hard to believe they took something like 7 years to make it and it was still incomplete at the end. With proper project management the game could have been something special.

yeah, it's easy to see they just sort of ran out of budget or just cut the development time short, there were some missions/quests that just made you back track the same areas, and the end was really abrupt

 

[Rhaknar]

restarted Mirror of Fate (as I have to do with every game I dropped a few hours in months / years ago, fuck if I remember any of them) and really enjoying it again (as I did the frist time around before dropping it for no reason). Once you get used to the floaty jumps (I sware every platform jump you make looks like it will fail) and the smaller size of each room (the maps themselves are huge but they are segmented off by a lot of smaller rooms, no doubt because of the 3ds original version limitation) its actually a really good "metroidvania" (yes I use the term), especially once you get the grappling item early on (already did some backtracking for health upgrades and whatnot as usual). I also quite enjoy the twist on the old Castlevania story they do using the Lord of Shadow universe. Game seems criminally underlooked especially in a genre that most people love and there still arent that many games of it (it is better these days tho). Hopefully I wont drop it this time, just got to Act II when you switch over to

Well I'll have to think positive, at least I won't break my new rule of not buying new games while still having a lot of games I want to play in my library already.
