Atlus: "Fans will be happy" about Persona teaser site

Status
Not open for further replies.
Isn't the 3DS the most popular gaming machine in Japan?

If the next big Persona game is anywhere, it will be there.

Why did Atlus make Persona 4 Golden on Vita then? The sales ceiling for a game like Persona 5 is probably say, 400-500k, something that is easily achievable on a PS3.

Anyway I can't wait for the game to be announced; first, it's loooong overdue, and second, the platform speculation can finally be put to bed.

Seems daft to make it for PS3 now, right at the end of a generation.

And can you imagine how big of a system seller Persona 5 would be for the PS4?
Especially early in its life when games are few and far between.

But I still think it will be for 3DS.

Actually now is a fantastic time to release Persona 5 on PS3. The userbase is mature and software sales have been consistent all year. Persona 4 was released in 2008. Persona is also hardly a major system seller like FF or DQ.

P4 came out AFTER the ps3 was out lol.

Its possible for it to be anywhere (IOS !) outside of xbox360 or xbone exclusive :p.

Persona 4 was different because they could reuse a lot from the other SMT games on PS2. They haven't released a single one on PS3. I think it would make more sense to release it on PS4 (or any next-gen console/handheld) so they could reuse assets for future games.
 
...Whilst excluding Nintendo platforms from anything related to the Persona team (Their biggest team).

Nintendo have gotten all the weird little projects from smaller teams. The team that made Trauma Center was bloody tiny.
What does that have to do with what I was saying? I was responding to people saying SMTxFE didn't exist or would be shitcanned. SMT/FE relationship is commercially still alive.

While we're on Persona though, is Persona 4 the last original game Atlus developed exclusively for Sony?


Edit: in fairness, I hadn't quoted anyone

I just don't think the install base is going to be there for it to be PS4 right off the bat. Makes more sense to be PS3 with a probable Vita port coming in a year or two.

I'm not gonna surprised if they announce to cancel that SMT x FE by anytime tbh, or redo the plan for 3DS. Silly project anyway.

There's no reason at all to cancel the project or re-do it for 3DS, so why would they? I'd worry more if it wasn't Nintendo developing, but they tend to release games they officially announce, and both franchises have pretty dedicated fans. Pretty silly thing to worry about.

What I'm saying is that Atlus' relationship with Nintendo is kind of unknown, to a point. They've put out a lot of exclusive games, but outside of SMT4 (Which even then, was seemingly very low budget) none of them have shown any commitment other than Atlus' commitment to niche content. It doesn't say anything for SMTxFE at all, particularly as that would have to be a much larger budget title.

And the last exclusive game was technically P4G. The last proper game was P4 though, yes. Keep in mind there's also been Arena and Catherine though.

It may be about the money, but I wanna see some tears.

comeon fatlus, release it on the 3DS

Goddamn they need to release that shit on the 3DS so I can witness the Internet shutting down in a rage. But I also agree with a previous poster: if it was released exclusively on the Xbone... My god the fucking salt lol.

Of course the only certain things in life are death and taxes, but there is really no reason at all to assume SMTxFE isn't happening.

Golden was an updated port, neither PERSONA Arena nor Catherine were exclusive. Last original exclusive game was P4 in 2008. P5 platforms have not been announced. The last original Persona branded game was multiplatform. The only HD game developed by Atlus was multiplatform. Index said the sale would not affect announced titles. SMTxFE was announced. Within the last few months, 3DS owners who purchased SMTIV and Fire Emblem Awakening were rewarded for their purchases.

Are these all facts?
Do they point towards a Sony exclusive P5?
Do they point towards SMTxFE being cancelled?

I believe he was saying that he wouldn't be surprised if SMTxFE was cancelled because the Wii U isn't selling and the project was seemingly extremely early in development.

Also, disregarding Catherine and Arena because they're on two platforms is silly. They weren't on Nintendo platforms, which is the important part.

I was under the impression that the Persona team was the smaller of Atlus's two R&D groups? They put out far fewer releases at least, it's basically the Persona group versus the "everything else" group.

I still feel like they'll be making their Nintendo debut with a 3DS Persona 3 conversion. Persona 5 will be 360/PS3, but not Wii U.

Disregarding them? I'm not disregarding them. The fact that they were MULTIPLATFORM is a very important part of what I'm trying to say. I'm disregatding them as Sony exclusives, sure. Because they were not Sony exclusives

Wii U sales don't translate into any kind of evidence that SMTxFE has been cancelled.

As long as we can agree on the obvious facts that I stated, we can all use our common sense to categorize the various theories.

The only thing that makes me think that P5 is for next gen consoles is the fact that they are easy to develop for. Other than that, there is no reason to make P5 on next gen, it just doesn't make sense. There is way more money in the PS3 than in the PS4.

Without the context of knowing it's someone wishlist. God dammit.
 
Hey guys what's going on? Why's this thread still going...

The Persona Team is basically one big team that works on everything together. The other R&D group works on lots of smaller projects. That's pretty much my point. (There's also crossover between them. A lot of the members of the Trauma guys have worked on Persona, for example.)
 
3DS is right up there with the worst scenario right above iOS and Android.
I'd much rather have PS3/Vita where the game doesn't look like ass ala SMT4

SMT4 looks as good as P4..... Unless you are talking about the 2D battle? The art looks good in 2D and battle are faster too. Not really sure what you mean by looking like ass when P4 the golden ook about the same as SMT4 in dungeons.

Post shitty images to prove point

lol man... maybe you need some glasses.

Seriously, Persona fanbase was always associated with Playstation, since the beggining. I don't understand the Nintendo port begging on this thread. SMT IV? Persona Fighter and Catherine being multiplatform gives you hope?

It won't happen.
 
? Why no ? I played both to hell and feels that they looked in the same range park outside of battle. With SMT4 dungeons looking much better than P4 boring pattern repeating dungeons.

I am serious.......... :(

You know most of P4 stages were randomly generated outside of some levels within each dungeon?

Edit: Also should use more accurate native screens, such as:

I agree with you. The only reason why Persona 4 looks better is because it's HD on the Vita and has way less detail. People just don't want P5 on the 3DS. I don't wither but I would play it so what ever.

It looks much better in motion on the 3DS XL, most 3DS screens are usual shit and hardly do it's games justice.

Not from me , i am just saying there is a small chance of P5 on WIIU. LOL noway its not on a sony platform. Remember, i predict that the announcement will be P3:darkness for vita !



And i still think SMT4 looks as good as P4 :p

Persona 4 is hardly an amazing looking game (Far from it, really). But the textures, the meshes... everything is better than SMT4. I mean, in that screenshot you posted, there is literally one single character model on screen. And it's all so muddy. It fits SMT, but that's not my point.

Of course i know , part of the reasons i like SMT4 > p3/4 is because of that .
Still look in the same park range of decent graphics for me :/

I brought those hints up before and was basically told things change by Aeana. I think the only way we'll see P5 on next gen is as a cross gen title.
I remember being chased out of a P5 thread for having the audacity to question a treasured insider who claimed P5 was Sony exclusive. Have the platforms been announced? No? So is it confirmed Sony exclusive? No? Interesting.


Persona threads demonstrate difficulty with these things.
Where P5 is one hundred percent confirmed Sony exclusive still and SMTxFE is probably cancelled despite a very recent SMT/FE cross-promotion.

Okay, that makes more sense. Persona has the largest singular team but it's the smaller overall R&D group.

I thought the Trauma series came from the Persona team too but I guess not?

I don't want P5 have battle system in first person view (because that's atlus lazy way for accommodating weaker system) or hearing Meguro's OST in crappy 3DS speaker.

They better announce Devil Survivors 3DS fast, so nintendo fan can be satisfied... the series is arguably modern persona game with superior gameplay despite cheaper aesthetic anyway.

No the game looks a lot better on Vita, even if its because of the screen to a degree. Also silly 2D battles and an over world where you move around this little weird cursor thing is just not what I think most people want from a new Persona game's city structure.
