Live countdown to major Persona team announcement from Atlus [Summary in OP]
- Thread starter duckroll
- Start date
So, final platform predictions? I'm leaning towards it being a PS4 or maybe Vita exclusive for the time being. They're the only realistic options that could be considered unexpected, as new entries in the mainline Persona series have never appeared this early in a new console's lifecycle, nor on a handheld.

Shouldn't we be more worried about how much they are ready to reveal?
I'll cackle if it's a Persona 5 thirty-seconds CG teaser with no release window.

Either Cross-Gen PS4/PS3 or PS3/Vita.
Well, they having post show after it.. the MC is voice actress, so take that as you will.
You cant possibly be expecting more than that...
Though, if the Dengeki thing is Persona 5, we'll get info fairly soon.
The release will probably be in 2014.
Plus the post-reveal interview with that voice actress.
Where did people find out about this?
It was tweeted and announced, basically.

Is there a cap on how long promotions aired on those screens can be? Hoping for at least a 1:30 PV.
They can do a short then release the extended PV online.
...
To be serious though the best evidence this isn't on iOS is the fact that most iOS games are announced and released simultaneously or with a relatively small amount of teasing (such as a rather crappy website).
I've never heard of someone have a 64 day countdown to an iOS game, even for the biggest iOS games in existence.
Pachislot machines are similar in that they are just announced and available to order shortly after since they are just sold to casinos and then the casinos handle a lot of the advertising from there.

As long as they show as much as a logo I'll be satisfied
Whoever heard of a pending CERO rating for a Pachislot machine?
I'm not expecting tomorrow's announcement to include PS4, because looks like nobody is announcing PS4 games in Japan after the event in September, there wasn't any announcement before that event and after E3 either other than Wonderflick port I think?
So if it was a PS4 related announcement I think it should've been presented there or in some event closer to launch, unless it was supposed to and things got pushed back because of Index.
gut feeling and all that, otherwise I think there should have been more PS4 announcements from others too, surely the pitiful list of games announced in September isn't everything that's coming up...

Right, CERO ratings aren't for phone games or for Pachislot machines.
That suggests a dedicated gaming device.
Isn't that the reason why everyone's here?

What did the 3rd teaser show?

Play either VMU mini-game or use GBA link cable to Social Link.
F2P MMO full of microtransactions!
The screens in cities where the announcement will be made. It seems that is what the cities meant.
Isn't it possible to put out a pachislot-like game on consoles?

Serious talk. Because Persona 4 was the peak of the video game medium I feel like Persona 5 can't not be worse. Hopefully still amazing though.
That's all I'm thinking about leading up to this.

There is going to be some sort of Persona 3-related announcement. There has to be. There's been more than a bit of hinting about it on here, and given the first movie just came out, there's no way ATLUS won't capitalize.
I expect a P5 announcement, too.
Those are both certainties. Beyond that - a third announcement, platforms, whatever - I couldn't begin to predict.

It will be a PS3 game. Vita is also likely.
No way it's PS4 or Wii U.

I'd be all over a Theatrhythm style music game using SMT/Persona tracks.
Or even better, an Ouendan/EBA style game. With various demons/personas running around doing stuff in place of the cheerleaders/agents.
Yeah, people should use their heads a little. They had pay for the right to broadcast through those big screens. They are not going to do is for Pachislot video game or any spin off thing.
I'm not expecting a lot more than that honestly. I just want to see the setting, maybe listen to the theme song and see how the characters look like.
They're just giving you some time to freak out.
For historical reference, this is how Persona 3 and Persona 4 were announced in Japan:
Persona 3 Announcement DVD in Famitsu: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ouI4EULiwX8
Persona 4 Announcement DVD in Famitsu: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJt2ZnL9eTQ
Both were 17 minutes long.

Persona 4 Announcement DVD in Famitsu: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJt2ZnL9eTQ
Both were 17 minutes long.
But it doesn't seem Persona 5 will be announced through Famitsu.

Here's hoping we'll get something similar tomorrow.
It is.
They don't sell very well though these days, so it would make more sense as an f2p mobile game.
I know you're joking, however, within five years I'd be fairly surprised if we didn't have several online f2p Atlus titles given it's a major part of Sega's business model, but for this particular reveal, it's clearly a product that was in development before the takeover.
We know from Sega's statements that they intend to make Atlus branded home console games (this announcement presumably), mobile and online PC games (Atlus did some of this already, but I suspect Sega will do a better job with it), and Pachislot machines (I suspect Sammy would mostly handle this and announce them with zero fanfaire for the previously stated reasons).
Given the context of all of this however, I think anyone who is worried probably shouldn't be, since the idea is that you have a strong base product for core consumers (for example, Persona 5), and then use its brand power to drive the success of categories 2 and 3.
Because the brand is alot more popular these days.

It'll either be PS3 or *shudders* 3DS.
I was more arguing about how this time we won't have those 17 minutes that we usually get from it being revealed through Famitsu.
