I cannot get my hopes up that this will actually be out this year. That sounds TOO GOOD to be true.

If I keep telling myself it is coming in 2016, and if it does come out this year, it will be all the sweeter.

 

[Error1355]

This looks fantastic.


I should really work on beating Persona 4 before this one comes out. >_>

 

[squadr0n]

It looks like there might be some sort of stealth mechanic this time around. Most of the dungeon shots show the MC peeking around objects, hiding from the enemy. There is also the lyrics im assuming in the menu screen that says don't look at me like that. Obviously not sure until we see more. Also wondering what that Cooperation option was?

On the MC's persona, I love the design but I hate the top hat. The style this time is awesome but I cant stand top hats. Wonder if Raidou will show up?

 

[Josh7289]

Holy shit that's nice.

 

[Soriku]

Not really? It's not like you could pull this off on the PS2, and I'm sure the PS4 version will do a better job of showcasing that art than the PS3 will. Tech and art go hand-in-hand.

Yeah this game will look much better with better IQ on PS4, thanks to better tech.

 

[juicyb]

Jesus christ I CANNOT WAIT FOR THIS TO COME OUT. HURRY UP PLEASE. PLEASE PLEASE

 

[FluxWaveZ]

We've heard about P5's development for several years now. They only revealed it in 2013, but it's already May 2015...

They don't need to show off everything, but I would've expected some more info by now. They haven't even detailed the gameplay. And yeah I know there will be more footage in June when P4D comes out.

Not formally announced and we didn't hear much of substance, is my point. To me, only 2013 counts, because that's when they actually started showing it and truly revealed that Persona 5 was a thing.

It's still been more than a year now, sure, but because they've shown so little, it makes a huge splash when they do. That 2 million views for the Persona 5 PV01 within a couple of days is a testament to that.

It sounds like you haven't watched the trailer? You should. It's amazing.

 

[bonercop]

there has to be something about this game on 5/5/2015

100%. mark it down.

Eh... I'd like to believe that. It's the perfect date that fits in with their motif ever since they've started showing the game off. But that would be sudden as hell, and then we consider E3 or that they'll be releasing the special Blu-ray just next month...

 

[Amir0x]

Man this game is going to be so rad, why can't it be out already

 

[Kenzodielocke]

So this is confirmed for NA 2015, why not for Europe ? Either way, I'll just download the game from the US Store.

 

[Philippo]

Maybe just some new screens/site update?

 

[RedAssedApe]

Hope it releases in a non crowded month even if that means slight delays.

 

[BlueBadger]

God it looks so beautiful. I'm so excited for P5.

Main character is pretty decent looking too

you're totally right but

consider how commited they've been to the "5" thing: first reveal trailer was in september, the second reveal trailer was on february 5th five months later. they've also said there's still a "lot to reveal including other party members" in a recent interview.

i don't expect anything to come from E3 besides possibly information on the US version though.

 

[artsi]

Well we know from history that Atlus doesn't care about EU, which is real bullshit.
But based Sony for region free, I'm going to import both the Japanese and US versions, and eventually buy it whenever it makes it's way to Europe.

 

[kpaadet]

Please release this in EU this year Altus, would really like to avoid having to import it.

 

[Renae]

It looks good !

 

[Meffer]

God damn this game looks so sexy! Can't for it this year!

 

[Renae]

All Europeans want a translation.

 

[UnluckyKate]

All Europeans want a translation.

Before 2017 please

 

[Conezays]

Fingers crossed this comes out this year.

 

[jurec84]

Such an amazing looking game!

 

[koutoru]

Please release this in EU this year Altus, would really like to avoid having to import it.

You'll need to start a rumor to make that happen.

 

[kpaadet]

If you mean change the ESRB rating to PEGI and release it then yes, if you talking about translating it into 10 different European languages so we have to wait until 2017 for it to come to EU then no thank you.

 

[Soriku]

Source?

 

[Lumination]

Wait, they haven't shown any PS4 assets yet?

My god.

Spoiler

Just some nice AA and maybe something to make the uniforms not look so glossy would be nice.

 

[Jb]

All Europeans want a translation.

It would be the first Persona to be localized in FIGS right? Unless Sony wants to push this game hard in their marketing in the West I don't see it happening;

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

hnnnng


Didn't realize this is 2015. inb4TheDelay

Now that we have a bigger resolution, I wonder if anyone can translate the banners on this castle:

Celebrating 4/20 in style.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

I've been waiting for this.......for 7 years

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Source?

Soejima said it in the Persona Magazine #2015 February issue interview.

 

[Inuhanyou]

Eh, I'm still getting very Otaku-ish vibes

IIf that's the case, literally anything even remotely anime based would be "otaku".

I really hate this "lol weaboo" trend going around. Eff if i don't know where it came from. The rise of western AAA gaming in the 7th console gen maybe?

 

[visiblemode]

You know what backlog is? It's having p3 and p4 golden in the line and STILL being psyched as hell to run out and get this. Oh lord.

 

[Lunar15]

Other publishers should take note.

We'll have to see where the money falls. I can only assume it'll do pretty good, but I'm interested to see how much past budget it makes. Fingers crossed.

Not really? It's not like you could pull this off on the PS2, and I'm sure the PS4 version will do a better job of showcasing that art than the PS3 will. Tech and art go hand-in-hand.

Nah. No one is saying this is a technical marvel. It's not pushing anything, and it certainly won't push the PS4. It's style on a budget (relative to AAA), and the style trumps the otherwise lower tech implementation. P3/4 thrived on a similar angle.

My point is, you don't have to be an industry leading graphical pioneer to make your game look pretty damn good.

 

[Soriku]

Soejima said it in the Persona Magazine #2015 February issue interview.

Didn't see that, good to know.

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

It's not uncommon in modern anime to do this (make people in crowd scenes drastically less detailed then the main characters). Certainly fits the loner vibe that the main characters have.

It's simple: our boy there has fallen into Zimmingham.

Not digging that ransom-note UI font, but everything else looks just fine. I ride on that yellow train (the Sobu line) almost every day. (As did the Atlus employees back when their office was on that line, so I can understand, but still, does everything have to be in Tokyo with you people?)

It's one of the few to pull that insane-o off outside of Sunset Overdrive and the Sting games. It's good stuff.

If it's not taking place in Tokyo, how can it fall into apocolyptic ruin from obliteration?

Randomized dungeons, worked well for P3 and P4 in my opinion given the fact that they were PS2-era RPGs. That being said, I sincerely hope the dungeons in P5 are handcrafted, and by the looks of the trailer they may very well be. Or maybe they are just randomly generated but incredibly interactive? Who knows.

I think it would be cool if the dungeons were almost Zelda-eque, solving puzzles and obtaining items to advance, or even Deus Ex-like where you have branching paths to steal something under someone's nose based on how you develop your character. All of what I'm saying is probably unlikely, but man, that would be cool.

Yeah, but that would scare people. Loud people.

 

[freeofgreed]

So do these confirm that you can longer see your party members in dungeons? (Would be disappointing if that was the case.)

 

[Jachaos]

So do these confirm that you can longer see your party members in dungeons? (Would be disappointing if that was the case.)

Hm... hope not, though if it means we get better dungeons... I don't know. I hope there's a reason for it, like you get into a platforming/sneak mode but otherwise they're there.

 

[Makoto Yuki]

Celebrating 4/20 in style.

That's what I was doing 4/20, but mostly eating and sleeping.

So do these confirm that you can longer see your party members in dungeons? (Would be disappointing if that was the case.)

They are there, just being really sneaking, there are doing a great job.

 

[Megidolaon]

Well in P3 you can split the party up to look for treasure? I hope they don't get rid of the on-screen party.

 

[Unaha-Closp]

I want it like I want Cindy Crawford from the 90's (ah hell and now) to knock at my door, hand me a pizza and um well.....I want this game.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Yup. Everything so far has been from the PS3 version.

And of course it looks great, Atlus barely got to use the hardware. They deserve another go. It would've been awful if Catherine was all they got out of the PS3.

 

[Bronetta]

The art style is beautiful. Can't wait to see more monster designs.

 

[Neverforget]

The art style is gorgeous! Why can't they release it on PC or a handled 3DS "lite" version orz

 

[Kudo]

It looks fantastic.. Hopefully they'll manage to finish it for this year, I can't wait to play this.

 

[Servbot24]

So do these confirm that you can longer see your party members in dungeons? (Would be disappointing if that was the case.)

As long as you can choose your character I'm fine with this.

 

[chiimisu]

I wonder why Vita version isn't in works yet . I mean, P4G made them so much money, they just can't miss this opportunity, right? And P4DAN looks really close to P5 in terms of cell-shading and overall graphic capability? Right, guys? Right? :'(

 

[DNAbro]

Cause their audience is on playstation.

They wouldn't announce it so soon anyway lol this game isn't even out yet

It was like 4 years after the fourth one was out before Golden was released. So if it ever gets a handheld port, it'll be on the next gen handheld.

*sigh* At least, I can dream lol

If there'll be next-gen handheld, yeah. Ah well.
