It's like bittersweet cake. On one hand WOOOOOO PERSONA 5 on the other hand WOOOooo.....o PERsona4 dance?WTF? And then Persona Q is exclusive only to the 3DS GAH why atlus. You could've at least made it multiplatform.I don't understand. Miku is already on here. Could've just made some DLC for it.

If you look carefully at the gameplay shots, you'll see status bars at the bottom that look just like they do in Etrian Odyssey. I'm going to guess their EO team is doing this (just look at the character design!!), and they only develop for DS and 3DS. It's not that outlandish.

And come on. Those 3DS/2DSs are cheap! It's time to get one. If you haven't played an EO game yet, you've got some awesome RPG's to play!

Portbegging won't get the game released to that piece of shit grave dwelling Vita

dcj05244219d ago

Who said anything about a port? I want Persona Q on VITA natively. Not a crappy port. Don't insert word into my mouth.

savaroth4219d ago

As good as the Vita is there is no real installbase in the west.

I do own a vita, but when you go to the local stores there's only a small section reserved for vita games. Advertisement? hardly anything for the Vita. ( although I did see an invizimals ad on tv recently )

Anyway, Atlus has been publishing on the 3DS even before the Sega take over, with games as Devil survivor overclocked, Soul hackers, etc.

Companies tend to go where the money is. As they allways did and allways will.

Pretty damn happy that Persona 5 will be released on PS3. Hopefully it will be translated in English next year.

Godmars2904220d ago

You mean 2015? Given that its coming out in Japan 2014.

3-4-54220d ago

Exactly.

Persona 5 not happening until May 2015 at earliest.

DEATHxTHExKIDx4220d ago

Sweet a persona on 3DS I'm getting it for sure if it comes stateside. Persona 5 for sure as well that will probably come to America in 2015 tho if its getting a winter release in Japan. But I still gotta play Persona 4 golden before either of them.

Eazy-Eman4220d ago

I WANT IT ALL!!...except for the dancing/rhythm game lol

thehobbyist4220d ago

Persona Q looks fantastic. Will be an awesome time sink while waiting for 5. The dancing game was doomed to happen to some degree. I mean, didn't you see how much dancing was in P4G's opening? However, we are all here for Persona 5. Which thankfully, is slated for a winter 2014 release. Which means in America we should expect it late-spring/early summer 2015 if the P4G launch schedule is anything to go off of.

interesting thing is, that the switch 2 is still the inferior version, despite it being more powerful.

This is just sad. The PS2 version actually looks better during the gameplay segments. Regardless, come the fudge on, Atlus. It has been almost 20 years, and this is the best you can offer us? Seriously? Could it not have looked like Master Detective Archives (PS5) or something closer to today's standards?

Excited and disappointed at the same time. Atlus really hates old-school Shin Megami/Persona without a doubt. They put so little effort into that side of the catalog. Sheesh...

Vits76d ago

The original looking better is a joke. Between the low-poly models and the low-resolution textures slapped onto the pre-rendered backgrounds, there's no serious argument that it holds up against the fully 3D-rendered visuals in the remaster. That said, what the original had was a lighting system that gave it a somber atmosphere, which is now completely gone.

This is just another Demon’s Souls or Majora’s Mask 3D situation. The graphics are objectively better, but the soul got left behind in that process.

SimpleSlave76d ago

Then you need to check your eyesight, because those gameplay sections they showed did not lived up to the original in any way shape or form.

"there's no serious argument"
"That said, what the original had was a lighting system that gave it a somber atmosphere, which is now completely gone."
😐
Anyways, aside from you making the argument for me, the fact is that just stating specs is not an argument. The old game simply has a better presentation, mood, and an all around unique and well made Shin Megami look. Something the new gameplay shown has not. From what they showed, the backgrounds, the lighting, especially during the Dark Realm sections, and the entire presentation feels like one of those SquareEnix's cheap looking remastered games they like to insult us with.

"This is just another Demon’s Souls or Majora’s Mask 3D situation. The graphics are objectively better, but the soul got left behind in that process."
You serious? Neither of those were cheap looking. They might've change some stuff, sure, but cheap they were not. This one, on the other hand? C'mon. Be realistic. This is as basic looking as it comes. I've seen Indie games looking like AAA titles when compared to this. While Persona 3 gets a remastered to a remastered plus a remake, the Shin side of Atlus catalog gets the cheap treatment. It's just sad. Also, like a said, compare this to Master Detective Archives on the PS5, and then tell me they put any time or money into this cheap ass looking game. You know they didn't.

In the end, it just looks bad. And I would honestly have them release the PS1/PS2/SegaCD/SNES Shin and Persona games on the Digital Stores than get this type of cheap looking product. Those, I would buy in a heartbeat. This? Maybe on a sale... maybe.

I know the old Shin Megami/Persona games were more adult oriented and don't appeal to today's trendy anime fan, but their old catalog deserves SO much better than this is all I'm saying.

gold_drake76d ago (Edited 76d ago )

it almost looks like they re did everything. from the characters, to the demons, to the whole game rly.

thw one thing that i personally didnt like, is how raidou moves. looks weird ha and it looked abit washed out too

SegaSaturn66976d ago

This is one of the worst SMT games. There was opportunity to fix it here but it looks like a pretty barebones remaster. The issue is that the demons you summon participate in real time hack and slash combat but they act stupidly and get in the way clumsily bumbling around. It's very annoying.

gold_drake76d ago

i dont think its the worst.

the og is really text heavy with really foreign terms and words no one from the west has any idea what they are or mean ha.

TheColbertinator75d ago

I appreciate the Raidou games but they could use some serious quality enhancements like the new SMT and Persona games for gameplay.
