GamePro: Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 Review

GamePro writes: "An enormous fan of the past installments in the Persona franchise, I'll be the first to admit that I was a tad skeptical when I heard that Persona 4 was dropping as soon as the end of 2008. Wrapping up my fourth run-through of Persona 3: FES, I was starting to feel like there wasn't anything else the series could throw at me that I hadn't seen before - and certainly not in such a short time span With the announcement that P4 would also be releasing on the Playstation 2, I couldn't help but worry; would this just be Persona 3 with a fresh coat of paint and a new cast of cookie-cutter characters? I'm happy to report that while Persona 4 does hold quite a few similarities to its predecessor, it proves itself as a brand new experience from the ground up with unprecedented levels of innovation, character, and outright charisma. Persona 4 may very well prove to be the shot in the arm that the RPG genre is in such dire need of."

The long wait is over and it's finally coming! *sniff*

socomnick5631d ago

SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im Getting it i hope this game could be play on ps3 60gb

Aclay5631d ago

The 20GB and 60GB PS3's are compatible with nearly all PS2 games, it should play on your 60GB PS3 with no problems.

Le-mo5631d ago

It's times like this that I wish my PlayStation 3 was backward compatible. Damn you, Sony. >:(

ruibing5631d ago

@Le-mo
Should have jumped on the $99 Lego Batman PS2 bundle at amazon on Black Friday. Though I have a 60GB PS3, I still like the original (without upscaling and smoothing) visuals on a PS2 through component cables.

TheColbertinator5631d ago (Edited 5631d ago )

I gotta get this game ASAP

Holy crap!

ShinigamiGirl5631d ago

Already pre-order the game from amazon, 7 day shipment. Sucks for me, but it will come in before christmas.

3DS Games That Should Be Ported To Nintendo Switch

The Nintendo 3DS is rife with high-quality titles, many of which should be ported to the Switch.

I agree some games should be. Like Super Mario 3D Land without the 3D 😆, Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon as well.

TeamIcoFan1525d ago

Why, so you can pirate those versions as well?

Neonridr1525d ago

my kid played through Mario 3D Land on his 2DS. Was still a great game with or without the 3D. A Link Between Worlds is awesome with the 3D effect, but it would still be an amazing game if it wasn't 3D

XxINFERNUSxX1525d ago

It's true I mostly torrent PC games very few I will buy but Switch games I buy just a few though and only ones that are at least a 9 out of 10 rating. 👍😁

ifrit_caress1525d ago

Dude, what about The World Ends With You? Some good games are listed but several are missing.

King_Noctis1525d ago

The World End With You is already on the Switch.

Segata1525d ago

That was DS not 3DS and it's already on Switch.

Rebel_Scum1525d ago

How can you have Ocarina in the list and not Majoras Mask as well. Weird.

The correct answer is Kid Icarus Uprising.

Top 10 Best Atlus Games

Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "When it comes to naming gaming’s most revered and fan honored labels, it’s hard to top Atlus. The Japanese studio is acclaimed for their deep, involved and intricate stories and paired with world class gameplay may be notorious for releasing their games in low print numbers, but those who do play them, know that they are special. For today’s Top 10 list, we want to shine a light on the best games to ever sport the Atlus logo on their boxes!"

How can Persona 4 Golden not be here? That must be a mistake.

RazzerRedux1557d ago

Because of their own stupid self-imposed rule:

"Only 1 game per main series but spinoffs are ok."

knickstr1557d ago

I personally liked P4 better than P5, but P4 at least deserved to be on the list as well.

TheColbertinator1557d ago

Nocturne, DDS and Devil Survivor 2 are all missing. Weak list.

KaiPow1557d ago

Yeah, I would certainly replace SMT IV with Nocturne on that list. Team over the original TC is another strange choice.

MWH1557d ago

Persona 2: Eternal Punishment is my personal favorite.

RazzerRedux1557d ago

Until P5, P3 was my favorite. They are all so good though.

ecchiless1557d ago

Atlus need to remake persona 2 sin and eternal, best persona games for me.

MWH1556d ago

man that would be a gamer's wet dream coming true.
