A Persona 3 remake would be incredible. It's one of those games that doesn't really have a "best way" to play because the content is split between versions.
And a new Jet Set Radio is definitely interesting. But I do wonder how the current public would accept it. Both previous titles are extremely arcade in their execution.
What’s your opinion on why arcade games aren’t loved on consoles? Why aren’t play and go games desired? Why are Crazy taxi, Daytona usa, virtua cop type games only reserved for vr now? I’m asking a lot feel free to ignore lol
That is a very good question. I would assume that the price/content ratio would be the large reason. But given that even cheaper games had a hard time selling (see https://www.engadget.com/20... it's probably not the only factor. So it's really hard to pinpoint what exactly might be the problem.
As for why those games thrive in VR. It's also hard to find an explanation, but I assume that is mostly to do with the limitation of the platform as of now. That isn't really suitable for more "console" experiences, human movement, in particular, is a pain in VR, so stationary games or rollercoaster experiences ended up being preferable with translate well to arcade games.
I think there is a market for good arcade style games as demonstrated by the excellent HiFi Rush but I think it's a question of setting realistic targets in respect of sales. A huge chunk of the game playing public weren't born when JetSet Radio came out so I am not sure that the reverence and nostalgia forr the old game exists across the whole of the market. But there will be a big enough market from older gamers such as myself who will snap it up, so if they set realistic sales targets and spend the right amount on development, there is defo scope for it to be a successful project.
here I am still hoping for a sequel where they’re trying to save MC from his fate..
also they never really explain why the shadow operatives which was made specifically to handle anything shadow related never made an appearance when freaking tokyo merged with the other world in P5
I'd love a new JSR but Bomb Rush Cyberfunk looks to be filling that void very nicely. Definitely get both if they release
That short video looks amazing, I love Persona 3, it's one of my favorite games ever. Hopefully this remake will come with the FES expansion included
Looks like they got p3 remake and P6 cooking. In Atlus we trust. One of the final kings of jrpgs.
'Love Atlus. P3P is a must, golden too. this is my chance to snag P1 and innocent sin : ). anyone know how they are compared to Eternal Punishment?
Innocent Sin is absolutely incredible. While I love both, I snagged a copy of Innocent Sin for the PSX some years back and was completely floored. If the thought of fighting a resurrected Hitler, supported by a legion of SS piloted mechs in the heart of Xibalba interests you (and it should!), then you need this game.
Also, it's awesome seeing the parallels in the 2 Persona 2 realities. Check it out!
If you are a jrpg fan and never had the chance to play the Persona games this is your chance to add these gems to your library. Don't wait go now!!!
Are these just for the US or will this sale be coming to th EU as well?
I was actually going to buy P1, 2 and 3 a few days ago but decided to grab Ys1 & 2 instead. If this sale is coming to the EU as well though then I'm going to be all over these as I'm loving P4G at the minute.
Too bad its not for uk as well P3P is damn expensive here 23.99£ and 2 as well 23.99
