A suspicious listing has emerged on a retail website, showing Persona 3: Reload pre-orders for Switch, priced at £64.99.
Persona 3 Reload looks to be a solid remake, but it should also pave the way for a Persona 2 Remake of Innocent Sin and Eternal Punishment.
The issue with remaking Persona and Persona 2 is that they aren't what people now consider to be a persona game. So Atlus would need to either re-structure them from the ground up to better match what the series is now, which would definitely piss off the old guard. Or they would need to remake it into something that is still not what people now consider to be a Persona Title, which would at the very least confuse the public.
So I would prefer it if they did both. Remaster the original titles with a new coat of paint and some QOL, then remake them into entirely new things with a full-blown Remake.
i disagree woth the "not consider it a persona game"
but i agree on the need to make it more like 3-5.
the issue is that 2 wasnt exactly popular. so newer fans either cant play it anymore or just dont care.
and i guess atlus just doesnt rly care either way.
also, 2 would probably need to get censored alot ha.
It's a bit of a rock and a hard place, personally I would just accept a remaster/port, but doing a remake would be very risky for them for those particular games, I don't believe they will want to make the decision that a remake would force them into.
Persona 1 & 2 remake would be amazing that and p5 ultimax with all persona characters.
If they planned to remake P2 they would have released the P1 and P2 PSP remasters on current consoles like they did with P3 and P4.
If they make another remake it will be 4.
Today Atlus released a large gallery of screenshots and plenty of details about the upcoming JRPG Persona 3 Reload.
Today Atlus shared plenty of new assets and details about the upcoming Persona 3 remake aptly titled Persona 3 Reload, including an introduction of the voice cast.
But of course. Its going to be revealed at an upcoming direct. The same thing happened when Persona 3,4 & 5 were finally announced for Xbox but not Switch. Fast Forward to a Nintendo direct not long after and the Persona ports were announced for the Switch.
