Live countdown to major Persona team announcement from Atlus [Summary in OP]
- Thread starter duckroll
- Start date
Let's hope they don't.
Not even 4.5? Dat incremental update.
It's possible they could announce both, but I can't see them not doing P5 after all these years.

Iirc they released P4 less than an year after announcing it, so I don't think they would take much time to release P5 after announcing it. Unless Persona 5 happens to be like The Last Guardian in terms of development, I doubt the PS4 will have enough owners to justify the release for it.
Couldn't it be Nagoya?

Persona 4.2 should be the Arena games.
Persona game usually comes months after announcement.
Persona 3 announced in December and it came out in July in Japan.
Persona 4 was also announced in December and it also came out in July.
If Persona 5 is announced of Sunday, than it is likely that it will come out in the summer for Japan and then the fall of 2014 for the U.S.
They could release it on PS3 and PS4, but the chances of that are very low.

I hope so. That's the best-case scenario.
Nope and I hated it back then as well.

Why do people say the chances are low?
With SEGA backing them and looking at Yakuza Ishin, they're anything but low. Not certain, but certainly not low.
Sega just acquired them. You can start make a case about that for the next game they make.

Well, as long as there is a PS3 or Vita version, they can release it for whatever other console they want

I'm guessing a clearer version of that teaser will be shown every midnight.

The game was likely in development for some time before the Sega acquisition, and Index was hardly in a position where Atlus could take on more financial risks. Sega likely isn't going to push for any major development changes so soon.
True, and Sony could be supporting them as well probably.
Well, with Shu excited about it, there's a 90% chance it'll be on a Playstation system.
Edit: Also, what's with everyone spamming DATABASE on the chat?
Sounds exactly like Persona 2.

It's just a matter of Atlus' history of a lagging release schedule. Releasing on new, or for that matter even current, platforms has rarely been their MO. I'd say the chances are pretty low of seeing it on PS4. I'd say a port would be a potential, but maybe a year later or something like that. I would be incredibly happy if it was on PS4, but it seems highly unlikely. (Edit: Sega's involvement is too fresh to have any real effect.)
99.99% chance it will be on a PlayStation system. 0.01% chance it will come to 3DS.

It's on a Playstation system period. Exclusivity and which system specifically are up for debate, but I'm very, very sure this thing is coming to the PS3 minimum.
The Bayonetta PS3 port, how Anarchy Reigns was dealt with as a whole, etc.
I don't know, didn't Sega jerk Platinum around with last-minute decisions?

Sega had a publishing deal with Platinum from the start of development for those projects. Apples and oranges.
If they did something akin to a Bayonetta PS3 thing, that would mean Atlus would make a version on one platform and Sega's team would make a shoddy port on another platform.

Wow. That Ferris wheel in Nagoya matches the teaser video perfectly. Hype levels slowly rising, terror replaced by cautious optimism.

I should be studying right now and here I am looking at static.

The suspense is slowly killing me >_<
We have over two days more of this.
I don't think it will have anything to with Persona 4 characters. I think they are just using Persona 4 stuff to build up hype for the announcement.

It's okay, I wanted to flunk criminal procedure anyways.
I hope so. the idea of a P4-2 isn't that bad, but I hate the direction they went with Arena.

Best to have low expectations and be surprised despite the hype train.
So keep thinking mobile game!

One of Marie's poems from P4G. Do lots of people not like Marie? I liked her but I only played P4G so maybe it was weird coming from P4. I don't know
