To everyone asking for a port: Just buy a cheap vita or an even cheaper playstation tv.

 

[Jonnax]

They're leaving money on the table. But this is Atlus.

 

[Inuhanyou]

I'd buy it full price, no questions asked.

I liked new Chie better ¯_(&#12484_/¯

i def liked older chie and teddie better

Not porting a six year old Vita game to PS4 is not leaving money on the table

 

[Jazzem]

It's kind of odd Persona 4 was as popular as it was really, given that it's only been released on PS2 as an absurdly late release and then on the unsuccessful Vita. It really deserves more avenues to reach a bigger audience, alas it seems both Atlus and Sega don't have much in the way of resources for doing many ports :/

It is glorious on the Vita at least, justified my purchase of the system alone

 

[Buddy Mcpuddy]

I'd rather see P3FES and P5 go portable, as that is where the series belongs.

 

[Kilau]

Nah, Marie can stay on the Vita where she belongs

As consumers, why wouldn't we say anything other than yes? Of course it'd be nice for it to be on as many platforms as possible.

As for Atlus, it's whether or not they considering it a worthwhile return on investment. I'm sure it'd sell well enough, it's whether they want to put the resources in.

Here's the thing: every company is "leaving money on the table". They don't have infinite money or staff. If they can port a game, but it wouldn't earn them a lot of money and it'd take up staff who could earn more working on a new title, then they'll prioritize accordingly.

 

[darkmark1987]

Would love a p3 and p4 collection myself. Would be perfect next year perhaps once p5 has had its chance to shine. Ppl playing persona for the first time with 5 will be looking for something to try next.

 

[orochi91]

I don't get it, OG chie actually put nuance into how she spoke her lines instead of "YELLING EVERYTHING LIKE A BAD ANIME VOICE ACTOR!!" like i just illustrated there in all caps.

The "lol old chie sounds old!" criticism also never really flew for me because none of those VA sound like teens to begin with, they all sound like adults

Well said.

None of those school kids sounded like their intended ages anyways, other than Nanako and possibly Rise.

 

[demosthenes]

Sure, why not.

But I'd much rather have a definitive edition of P3.

I'd like p3p and p4 golden, so badly 😭

 

[HardRojo]

I'm surprised it hasn't been ported yet. Seems like a missed opportunity, I thought they'd have done it a few months before P5 dropped.

Yeah I think that's the issue, they strike me as being similar to Treasure or Falcom in that they're successful due to being a pretty lean operation. Treasure for instance were basically not making anything else when they ported games to XBLA/Steam and such, while it's only through XSeed and other publishers that we've seen as much Falcom stuff ported around as we have.

 

[thepenguin55]

Original Chie was so boring.

I'm with you. To me the OG Chie voice sounds extra stilted and like someone who is reading lines. IMO Golden Chie sounds more natural, higher energy, and just more like I would expect the character to sound. Having said that, this argument all feels like splitting hairs to me anyway as the VA for all the games in this series has that indescribable anime quality where no one talks quite like an English speaking human being actually would.

 

[JetSetRadio]

At least give us P4 as PS2 classic. Or is golden much better?

 

[flatearthpandas]

Or they could just allow people to play ps2 classics on the ps4. But i guess that would involve no one fucking the customers over.

 

[Rabid Dwarf 76]

Only if they give us an option for the original, superior Chie voice

Good man. I support this.

 

[fireflame]

They should release it on PC too, that would really be welcome

 

[Kresnik258]

Given the response to Persona 5, the spotlight has never been better for the series or the company, but the next one probably isn't coming out for a while. Persona 4 Golden is considered the best version of the game that really brought some mainstream appeal to the series.

Atlus got you covered:

http://gematsu.com/2017/04/atlus-registers-persona-domains-p3d-p5ag-p5d-p5r-p5u-persona-dance-pq2

Ryusoffice Corporation, the company that registered the RPG.jp domain name for Atlus, registered several Persona-related domain names on April 18.

The list of newly registered domains include:

P3D.jp (Persona 3 Dancing?)
P5AG.jp (Persona 5 A…fter Golden?)
P5D.jp (Persona 5 Dancing?)
P5R.jp (Persona 5 R…acing?)
P5U.jp (Persona 5 Ultimax / Persona 5 Arena?)
Persona-Dance.jp (Persona Dancing portal site?)
PQ2.jp (Persona Q: Shadows of the Labyrinth 2?)

Plenty of Persona to go around the next few years.

 

[leesmapman]

How about just let PS4 play Vita / PSP / PSX games instead?

THIS! So much this!

 

[BigEmil]

Yes, please.

OG Persona 4 is great and runs like a dream via PCSX2 even on my modest laptop and I will be an OG Chie defender till I die, but I also wouldn't mind having a nice (U)HD port of Golden on PS4 for all the extra content.

Runs good on PCSX2 but it's got a bunch of visual glitches and inconsistencies in both visuals and audio with bad accuracy to the original so it's not good, PS4 emulator is far better in terms of accuracy i guess they have the upper hand since Sony developed the PS2 themselves they know best

 

[zswordsman]

I'd rather they remake the p2 duology.

I wouldn't mind this, I've been going through the first of the two. And it's good, but the gameplay can get a bit tedious. But I'm pushing through since I've heard the story is really good.

 

[kennyamr]

I'd play it again for sure. One of my all time favorites.

Just let me date Teddie.

 

[topplehat]

I would rebuy it so yes.

 

[Thaedolus]

Since my wife put my Vita through the washing machine, yeah, would be nice.

 

[True Fire]

ATLUS should do what they did with their DS games, and rerelease their entire PS2 library on PS4 (and maybe Switch idk)

 

[Nottle]

Sure, why not.

But I'd much rather have a definitive edition of P3.

Yeah p3 deserves it. FES has some archaic stuff like not being able to choose what abilities pass on on not being able to directly control party members and p3p has the cool FeMC mode, the male party member S. Links, but has less impressive city exploration because of the psp limitations.

If someone they could put the p3p additions i to FES that would be awesome.

 

[AuthenticM]

Yes. And on PC too. Same for Persona 3.

 

[molnizzle]

YES.

 

[Skyzard]

P5G will come to Vita instead.

 

[vaibhavp]

smt type of games i like on handhelds. enjoy scratching my head over boss strategies by picking up anywhere and giving it a go. bringing golden to ps4 would be a step back.

bringing 5 on the other hand to....

 

[sense]

As crazy as it is, I was actually contemplating going back to playing p4golden on vita again after finishing up p5 but if it comes to PS4 with any additional stuff then I will just play it there. If it is same game then I might as well play it on vita lol because I have been using remote play a lot for persona 5. The grinding is best on vita!!!!

 

[FairXchange]

I'm 80 hours into my Persona 4 G play through on Vita. Instead of waiting for a port (which won't come), pick up a Vita! It plays perfectly on a portable device.

 

[mindatlarge]

Being in the midst of playing P4G for the first time, currently at the end of September, the more people that get to play this game the better. Being that I never got to play P3, I'd love to see Atlus remaster that as well. From what I understand, it's worthy of that treatment.

 

[DrunkShogun]

Would buy it day one and this is coming from a guy who platinumed the game. It's a strong game and has a distinct personality from persona 5 that newcomers shouldn't feel tired from playing both games feeling too similar. Would expect persona 3 and smt nocturne to show up if they do bring golden.

 

[squall23]

I bought a PSTV just for this. If this gets a PS4 version, it needs at the very least an increased resolution which also means updated textures because otherwise they'd just look like crap.

 

[MaximumSpider]

Plenty of Persona to go around the next few years.

Huh. Nothing on a Persona 1 remake. Damn it, I wish that game would get a complete make over.

 

[YuriLowell]

Huh. Nothing on a Persona 1 remake. Damn it, I wish that game would get a complete make over.

It did get one on the PSP like 6 or 7 years ago.

 

[MaximumSpider]

It did get one on the PSP like 6 or 7 years ago.

Yeah but their recent survey asked if people wanted an HD remake of it which could be interesting.

 

[FHIZ]

I'd take a 3 port before 4, simply because it's the one of this era of Persona games I've yet to play. But I'd play 4 again on a big screen.

 

[Vyse The Legend]

I'd kill for a collection that contained the PSP version of Persona, Persona 2 (IS/EP), Persona 3 (FE/PSP features combined), and 4 Golden with optional audio selection. Make the side games (dancing, arena/ultimax, or even Catherine) unlockable bonus titles or DLC.

Release all that on a disc for $60-80 for any system that can run it.

This guy knows the deal.

In either case, they need to free Golden from the Vita.

 

[Jawbreaker]

Sure, I'd buy it.

 

[Cromat]

They almost certainly will. Pretty safe investment.

 

[Chorazin]

Why put all that money into making it look decent on the PS4 when they could probably port it to the Switch as is and it'll sell like hotcakes?

 

[BasilZero]

Yes please alongside persona 3 fes with full party control and female protag option.

 

[Inuhanyou]

Why put all that money into making it look decent on the PS4 when they could probably port it to the Switch as is and it'll sell like hotcakes?

They would not have to "make it look decent" on the Switch? Beyond that, portbegging isnt really allowed you know...

You dont need to make anything look decent, its just a matter of a res boost

 

[muteki]

I would rather have a definitive P3 or either P3/P4G on switch first, but otherwise sure, why not.

 

[MaximumSpider]

I knew the Switch begging would come. That train's never late.

You're actually insane if you think something like this could happen in any universe.

 

[Antiwhippy]

They already have been remade.

I would like to see a comp of 1 and the two 2s.

I mean remake it in a way that doesn't make me want to kill myself when playing the dungeons.
