I doubt that. P5 pretty much is a PS3 game with an upressed PS4 port. Worst case scenario, west only gets the digital version.

it's not that it's delayed till early 2016... summer 2016 is 9 more months till the japanese release... and could be a year long wait till the US release... and an early 2017 EU release...
there's no way they were saying 2015 2015 confirmed if they need almost a whole year.
Atlus are dumb enough to release it in the FFXV timeframe.
won't the PS3 version of Dragon Quest Heroes be comming out of japan?

I think they(Atlus USA) honestly thought that it would be releasing in 2015. Of course, I believed that about as much as I believe a Square Enix release date.

Wasn't P5 initially announced for 2014? Then when they announced a PS4 version they also announced a delay to 2015.
Second delay in as many years. Disappointing.

No one was lying maliciously, and no one was "doubling down." Until the delay was officially announced they had to maintain the company position of 2015. This is how marketing and PR work. People need to stop putting Atlus on a pedestal, they're a developer like any other.
Yes please.

Yes, and why? That's the million dollar question. Why not just keep quiet?
They weren't under any obligation to login to NeoGAF and talk about 2015, but they still did. It just feels strange to do that.

Ugh, this wouldn't sting as much if we didn't have Atlus USA reps ASSURING us as recently as August that it would be out this year.

They're very different kind of games from different pubs. MGSV would be more comparable at this point.
Probably because they themselves didn't know of the delay or were forced to keep quiet.
It will also be the first Atlus RPG on console in a while.
Given their exceptional output on PS2, it's just sad.

Still a stupid quote. Duke Nukem Forever was delayed for ages and we remember how that turned out.*hugs Miyamoto quote for comfort*
A delayed game might eventually be good. A rushed game is probably bad forever. Unless it's fixed and massively overhauled.
Not that I fear P5 being bad. I just hate that quote being whipped out anywhere.

This is the worst part about it and i honestly dont blame hardin he probably honestly thought it was still coming because the guy seem to darn sure in the persona thread. It seems like a case of atlus Japan just keeping hush hush so long for no damn reason

Games got expensive to make.
That Atlus didn't get completely left behind and managed to hang on while the plane was taking off is pretty damn impressive.
*hugs Miyamoto quote for comfort*
Ha, tell that to Final Fantasy XIV and Diablo 3!

Of course not europe isn't apart of the atlus worldwide equation stop being silly
US and Japan are the only countries.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
What? Why? It's just a worse version of the thing.
Maybe he has a PS3 but not a PS4? Just a thought.
I'm still trying to think of what they'd actually do to them. Persona 3 is easy, couple the P3P and FES content, but 4? Just a straight port to PS4? Even with a definitive edition of Persona 3 I don't think I could get excited for it. I've already played those games a ton, and the exact same thing on a newer system wouldn't tide me over for a year until Persona 5.
Full remakes? Definitely, but that's never happening.

I'd rather not. Hell, P3FES and P4 run fine enough at 1080p+ on my PC via PCSX. We don't need yet another re-release of either game.

It's so faaaaaaaaar D:
Agreed, it's like 10 fucking months from now.
What on earth happened during development that caused such a long ass delay D:

But what about Persona 4 Platinum? In this version, you can romance Igor.

Could be as short as 7,5 months, as summer in Japan starts in May.
Let's positive thinking!
- Atlus ownership changed hands from a corrupt Index corporation to Sega.
- The brunt of Persona 4: Dancing All Night development shifted from Dingo to P Studio due to unknown issues.
- Persona 5 was first announced as a PS3 game and then as a PS4 game later on, so platform decisions and changes were probably a factor.
they have to time it really god, they have to drop before FF 15 .

Not to mention the corporate shenanigans going on much of the last 12 years, too.
