Famitsu is at it again: surprise scoop on popular series teased

GE: Famitsu broke most of our hearts this week. But now the magazine has a chance to do so once again!"

Persona 5

I would crap bricks. Then proceed to ask why I ate bricks in the first place.

[porkChop]

That would be amazing, but very doubtful. Though I would love a new Persona for PS3 and Vita.

don't you dare get my hopes up

[jc48573]

we need at least one persona this gen

[doogiebear]

It's been a long wait. I want like 3 new Smt/persona games. What took so long?

[Whitefox789]

Well the Soul Hackers 3DS port has been announced for a 3DS NA release and Atlus is wokring on SMT4 on the 3DS. They've also been working on Persona 5 since Persona 4; its more or less they know we know they are working on it they just don't want to say anything.

[porkChop]

Fuck Famitsu. They lost my respect when they teased a big, surprising story for MGS fans, right after The Phantom Pain was announced and everyone figured out it was a new MGS game. Then the next issue came and there was nothing. I think the only Metal Gear related story in the issue was a reprint of an MGR story. After that, fuck them. They've been making big teases every week now and it always ends up being a big letdown.

[Batzi]

I have a feeling that this one will indeed be MGS related and will in fact be SURPRISING or confirm one of our assumptions about The Phantom Pain or Ground Zeroes. It's just a feeling. And I am not sure if you are aware but Kojima is in Dubai and is holding a press conference on the 17th(this month). We might get news then.

[Canary]

My guess would be:

Metal Gear
Persona
Gundam
Macross
Dragon Quest
Final Fantasy

There's always the potential for a nice, big feature on Dragon Quest VII's remake, or news on Versus XIII. And Macross 30 is coming out in less than two months, and hasn't really had a -big- magazine feature yet. Same for Gundam Breaker.

Of course, (as is obvious) I'm tackling this with a PS3 focus. It's very possible their big article could be about a Wii U, handheld or even mobile game.

Are those really your guesses?

You know this magazine JUST said "surprise scoop on long-awaited game" about Kamen Rider, right?
You know that, right?

I would love to be wrong, but the chance of this being anything of the caliber you mention is...minimal, to put it generously.

[Canary]

...I don't think you realize how big those Kamen Rider/SRW type games are in Japan.

[knifefight]

I don't think you realize how small of a scale it is -- even here in Japan -- compared to what you listed. Kamen rider will top the sales charts in its first week, little doubt of that, but it's not near anywhere those other series, save for possibly Macross.

But either way, I'll repeat the question. Geing completely realistic: do you actually expect the news to relate to one of the games you listed?
