Live countdown to major Persona team announcement from Atlus [Summary in OP]

[laika09]

Take it easy fellas, I don't know if it's being announced today. Persona 5 PS4 tho

Neat!

 

[Order]

Can I see this on the Vita niconico app?

 

[Soriku]

And how many of the million people are willing to buy a JRPG? Not many I guess.

Don't know about "million(s)" but I'd wager a good amount of people would want a good PS4 RPG.

PS3 is still the safer choice. I bet P5 would sell on almost anything but we should assume the fanbase is present on PS3. A sizable PS3 RPG audience sure is.

I think cross gen would be a little surprising only because cross gen RPGs are barely even a thing.

 

[Velcro Fly]

Time for this Vita investment to pay off.

Hype!

 

[Aquamarine]

OMG SOME GUY CAME ON TO SAY 30 MINUTES LEFT SO HYPE

Theodore from Persona 3 Portable!

 

[thuway]

Neat!

I'm trying to say I know nothing about this announcement . Easy fellas. I'm on the train with you.

 

[EMT0]

I don't think that would be enough to make it a big name title in the west.



There is no way Atlus has that kind of turnaround and if it was coming at launch it probably would've been at the Japanese PS4 event.

If it was the only JRPG and with Sony playing it up as a big exclusive? I dunno....

 

[Atlas157]

Take it easy fellas, I don't know if it's being announced today. Persona 5 PS4 tho

Please don't do this, my heart can't take it.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Kept waking up every hour, too hype.

I'm ready now.

 

[Facism]

Take it easy fellas, I don't know if it's being announced today. Persona 5 PS4 tho

are you saying persona 5 for ps4 or wishing for persona 5 ps4?

 

[boohowc]

this shit never ends well. but i will be back in 25 minutes to witness the collective groan of disappointment lol

 

[Hoo-doo]

Let me say it right now.
If it's Persona 5, and it looks to be the game I want it to be, i'll buy any platform it's on.

It would instantly justify a Vita, 3DS or PS4 for me.

 

[thuway]

Serious question: Does Atlus usually go this big when announcing any title? This will be a huge cluster fuck if it turns out to be Arena Fighter 2 or some wonky F2P bullshit on iOS.

 

[chrono01]

I CANNOT CONTAIN MY EXCITEMENT!!!!

Just a little over 20 minutes to go!

 

[Reila]

I'm trying to say I know nothing about this announcement . Easy fellas. I'm on the train with you.

I feel relieved.

They usually reveal their stuff through Famitsu iirc.

The bird has failed us for the last time.

 

[Sandfox]

I just realized that I could've been making jokes about Atlus developing the game with the SMTIV engine on the 3DS back when people were saying that the fanbase was already on the PS3 and that they have the Catherine engine months ago.

Don't know about "million(s)" but I'd wager a good amount of people would want a good PS4 RPG.

JRPGs are pretty much done when it comes to putting up big numbers in the west since a lot of people just don't seem to play then anymore or are turned off by the anime influences.

 

[Poetic.Injustice]

 

[toddhunter]

So I'm thinking something like this:

Game:
Great = P5
Good = P4-2 followup
Why didn't we see this coming = P4A2
Oh come on = P4 port

Platform
Great = PS4, PS4, Vita and PC
Good = PS3
Bad = Anything region locked
Hilarious = ios

Cast
Great = New cast, older
Good = Old cast, older
Bad = Ken and Teddie detective agency

 

[IrishNinja]

has anyone called the possibility of Jack Bros for Virtual Boy finally being reprinted? cause that's my vote

ps this wait is unBEARable

 

[laika09]

Haha, okay. Keep that top of page quote though.

 

[TripleSun]

Theodore from Persona 3 Portable!

Never played the female main character so I didn't know who he was lol

 

[Levyne]

It's gonna be ps3

 

[7threst]

The PS4 has already sold over a million units in the USA alone within 24hrs and still has millions in the USA waiting for new shipments. This game probably won't release until late 2014 for the USA/Euro which by then the sales of the PS4 will probably be over 10mil. Most PS3 owners will have moved on by late 2014 anyways. Also this is a niche series that won't sell millions of copies anyways, it doesn't need a huge install base. People who dished out the money for next-gen shouldn't have to miss out on what's probably going to be a 2014 title because the company wants to release it on a 8yr old console.

I think we'll have to wait until late 2014/begin 2015 for games like Persona getting a release on PS4. It's a lot more safe for Atlus to release it on PS3 where there is a huge audience already.

No. Most of their announcements are through Famitsu. This is pretty huge for Atlus.

 

[CrazyDude]

I just woke up, what did I miss in the last 8 hours?

 

[Atlas157]

The biggest cluster fuck of all time would be Persona 5 exclusively on Xbone. That shit would be Bayonetta 2 x 1,000,000, the backlash would never stop.

 

[GloriousBagel]

There is a suppossively leaked source of info saying that Persona 5 is for 3DS coming 2015 on 2.ch D:

Dunno if i can link the link

 

[Aquamarine]

LESS THAN 20 MINUTES NOW GUYS.

 

[Red The Hunter]

I just woke up, what did I miss in the last 8 hours?

Just some recaps of P4, but nothing really substational

 

[michaelius]

I just woke up, what did I miss in the last 8 hours?

nothing worthwile

 

[rockman zx]

The other streaming event is 1 hour and 30 minutes after the reveal?.

 

[TripleSun]

I can't handle all the chaos that will ensue either way. Oh god, going to put my set of armor on and hope I don't die in the crossfire of chaos.

 

[Pistolero]

Persona 5 mobile exclusive here I come!

 

[Napalm_Frank]

As long as it's P5 and the platform is anything other than mobile I will be happy.

 

[misterF]

Take it easy fellas, I don't know if it's being announced today. Persona 5 PS4 tho [IMGparrots on a tree[/IMG]

The bird is toying with us!

Eh, there are some JRPG's in the pipeline for Sony. Ni No Kuni 2, some new Tales game, FFXV, and Kingdom Hearts 3. You'll get your love, but Atlus isn't stupid enough to urinate on their entire fanbase.

What
