Support NeoGAF

[Cow Goes Moo]

I hope it's $40 like most fighting game releases (looking at you Netherrealm), I held off getting the first one hoping there would be a re-release

 

[Arelaz]

This is the 'update' for P4U. It's in arcades 11/28.
Console version will likely have a story mode, as they have a new story in this one as we can see.. Adachi was shown, in arcade mode cutscene.
Gameplay stuff so far:
Yukari, Junpei, Sho (new dual wielding guy) playable. Assume they will get themes as well. Apparently they also added more Persona BGMs to the game, such as Wiping All Out for P3 Female Character battles.
A bunch of new stages, locales from P3/P4 such as Tartarus Lobby and Magatsu Inaba
All characters have a Shadow form that is playable, different from their regular version (I don't think there is a 'Shadow Shadow Labrys' though.)

Balance changes, new moves, etc. Fighting game stuff. All characters have an 'EX' awakening super. Persona card system changed. A whole bunch of stuff like that.

The console version, without a doubt, will have a looot of updates than just a simple rebalancing and character addition such as "SF4 Arcade Edition", since it serves to further the plot

 

[IntelliHeath]

I heard that we are getting 4 more new characters, other than Adachi. I guess we have to wait and see if it's true or not.

 

[Korigama]

Is this an actual sequel or an enhanced re-release ?

Sequel.

 

[EekumBokum]

The music in this trailer was so fucking good.

 

[FSLink]

With Ultra sf4 releasing on consoles in July/June, you could scratch that game off of EVO 2014 as well.

I thought that was just Eventhubs being stupid? And even if this is the case, wouldn't be surprised if that was retail release and digital was earlier for Ultra.

 

[Caronte]

No 360? That's weird.

 

[Kandrick]

2016 for Europe incoming

Still haven't bought the first one. Fuck them.

At least this one will be region free, i guess.

 

[toddhunter]

No 360? That's weird.

Could still be for a Western release I suppose. Also PS5 and XB2 support to go with the PAL launch.

 

[Jawmuncher]

So it looks like I need to pickup Persona 4 Arena again huh?
Since it seems to me that this won't have the story mode from that game like we saw with all the BB games.

EDIT: 20 bucks on amazon so screw it I bought it again

 

[Tizoc]

That. And I expect more derp for another $60.

Damn it Atlus. :/

Sequles can be enhanced re-releases, just look at KoF.

 

[Curufinwe]

My fight stick is for the 360 so I don't think I'll play this one.

 

[Kincaido]

P4UUSH

 

[Phatmac]

Loved P4A so I'll be getting this for sure.

 

[Ken]

Could still be for a Western release I suppose. Also PS5 and XB2 support to go with the PAL launch.

posted in the other thread but

BBCP localization for NA next year only had a PS3 version listed, so that plus tonight's platform reveal leads me to believe ASW is kind of done with the 360 as far as their fighters go.

Even GG Xrd seems to be PlayStation only.

 

[Thorgal]

Im just seeing all this, and all I can say is that it looks like with all of these wonderful Persona related announcements that Sega has offically raped, and killed Atlus.

Eh.. i think these games where in development LONG before there was any talk about SEGA buying them.

I can understand SEGA has rustled some fans jimmies with Yakuza and such .But let's not shit on them just for the sake of shitting on them .

 

[Prince Vultan]

Europe will probably get P5 before this comes out.

 

[a745]

I really hope they can just put the P3 Protag as playable, but yeah, not happening, I know.

 

[Shinriji]

DP sorry.

 

[Shinriji]

I was expecting PS3/PSVita, oh well. Didn't bought P4U, so I hope that the story mode contains a recap (just like BBCSEX).

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

Is this a completely new game or just an expanded version of the first game? I haven't played the first one yet, so I'm wondering if it's worth it to pick that one up or just wait for this.

 

[PK Gaming]

Summer release? HELL YES

EDIT: I'm so glad the statute of limitations on Adachi worn off

 

[Blueblur1]

I hope this version gets localized. I'll happily pick it up.

 

[Finalow]

Soriku y u took all these persona threads but not the P5 one? Lol.

I was interested in buying P4A but I guess I'll wait for this.

 

[IntelliHeath]

I really hope they can just put the P3 Protag as playable, but yeah, not happening, I know.

I think it might happens. We don't know what we would expect from the story mode, so there is a chance for him to become playable.

 

[TWILT]

OMG Adachi might be playable. CAN'T WAIT.

 

[dark_prinny]

I'm not buying this game after the region lock bullshit with the first one.

Sorry ATLUS, I still love you.

 

[synce]

Is this a proper sequel with all new storyline?

 

[Jawmuncher]

OMG Adachi might be playable. CAN'T WAIT.

A real announcement would've been Dojima.
I mean I don't care if it doesn't make sense, that shit would be awesome.

 

[Infinite]

Is this a proper sequel with all new storyline?

Yes

 

[Dragon1893]

I just want to know about the damn region lock, God only knows when/if this will come to Europe.

 

[Riffled]

That maybe, but Atlus knew what they were doing by building this up. If this is the best announcement they have, then they are just master trolls at this point.

It does not really matter any more at this point, If/when P5 ever comes out ot will either be a mobile/or 3Ds game at the behest of Sega. At that point I can stop following atlus news.

Persona 5 is now known to be a ps3 game and all, but to that assumption, Sega put out more HD games than Atlus has, so yeah.

 

[shaowebb]

I've never played any Persona games in my life, but I got to say this has one of the best titles for any fighting game ever and I really dig how you can change the way you are facing during jump ins at will in the P4A game to go for crossups from the streams I've watched.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Cannot wait for this. It's gonna hurt to see everyone playing it in arcades next week.

And Sho looks great.

 

[stump sock]

is it confirmed if this is standalone or dlc for P4A?

 

[FluxWaveZ]

is it confirmed if this is standalone or dlc for P4A?

Not confirmed, but it will be standalone. WAY too much going on for this to be DLC.

 

[Karsticles]

Does Elizabeth still suck?

 

[VanillaCakeIsBurning]

Somehow I have the feeling that this will be region locked like P4:A.

 

[Tamanon]

Hmm, looks like the 360 experiment was dropped after all. Makes sense when Japan is half of your sales.

 

[CommandThrower]

I liked P4A initially, but I could not get into it competitively. Some of the system mechanics really bothered me, but I did like some of the other things it brought to the table. These new additions to the game will make me give it another try.

I don't know if I'll buy it on launch like I did for the first P4A, but it'll be on my radar either way.

 

[Kintaro]

Still a fucking awesome name. More games could stand to have wrestling move names in their titles.

"Uncharted 4: Sheer Drop Brainbuster"
"Call of Duty: Triple German Suplex"
"Final Fantasy XIV: The Enzuigiri of Destiny"
"Super Mario Ultimate: Mega Tiger Suplex Hold"

All 10/10 games based on title alone.

 

[DrFunk]

Loved the first, so I'll def pick this us...hope it's localized

 

[Hag]

I really hope that ASW put the World Lobbby system of BBCP in this. That stuff is so good

Or just copy/paste all the online of bbcp haha

 

[Black Door]

Will Fatlus be greedy again and region lock this one, and undermine their sales?

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Will Fatlus be greedy again and region lock this one, and undermine their sales?

Seeing as how P4A was one of the fastest selling fighting games in Japan in years with their strategy, I wouldn't say they particularly felt bad about it.

 

[RedNumberFive]

Who is the red head dude?

 

[Ishida]

Who is the red head dude?

Perhaps he is a link to Persona 5?

 

[Steel]

Hmm, looks like the 360 experiment was dropped after all. Makes sense when Japan is half of your sales.

Sadly. But I'd have to get a ps3 for P5 anyway....

 

[sixteen-bit]

Will buy if not region locked

 

[Andrefpvs]

Hope Europeans can get this game under more fortunate circumstances this time.
