Dale North says: "I'm here covering the Shin Megami Tensei panel at Anime Expo here in Los Angeles (more coverage on that later), but I wanted to drop in now and say that Persona 4 does have a US launch date now. I'm so happy!
After hearing the full history of the Shin Megami Tensei games (awesome, by the way), Atlus surprises us with the screen you're seeing above. Just in time for the holidays, P4 will hit shelves on December 9th, 2008. This will also include a bonus soundtrack CD!
I know some of you haven't finished Persona 3: FES yet, so you better hurry!
Are you ready for P4 yet?"
The Switch would definitely benefit from Persona games, but at the end of the day, it doesn't need them for fans to scratch the itch.
At the end of the day Atlus/Sega can put Persona on whatever platform they want. Their business and their choice.
I mean techincally there are Persona games on Switch. Just not the core series. That being said, sales would definitely benefit from the Japanese market Switch owners if they ever decided to put them on there.
The PlayStation Brahs:
"The first of the Persona 25th anniversary announcements will come in September, as early as the 1st of the month. Which will start a series of 7 announcements, all the way up to Autumn 2022. With the announcements coming as early as tomorrow, I thought it would be interesting to talk about what I think my be announced during all of it".
Surely a Persona 4 Golden is on the cards? I played about 5 hours worth years ago on the Vita. Would love to play it on a present-day console.
@curtain_swoosh. Yeah, I wouldn't mind the PC version but I have a crappy old Mac (better not say that too loud as I don't want it to hear me) so it can't run Parallels PC software. I'm sure a home version will come, someday.
I mean it's Atlus.
One would think that Persona 4 Golden would have gotten a console version together with the PC one. And if not for all consoles at least a Switch release.
So, yeah. I'm betting on nothing.
As excited as I am to see more Persona, I really want to know the status of Project Re Fantasy. It's been nearly five years since that game was announced and we know absolutely nothing about it outside of a teaser trailer.
As it's a persona specific event i doubt it will show up. But maybe. Probably a Sony event ingame reveal seems more likely.
Persona 6 and Persona 3 FES port to PC, I don't know what else to expect, I'd buy a port of P3 Fes to go with P4G.
Strong sales of Persona 4: Golden port will lead to more Sega catalogue titles on PC
It only makes sense. I expect to finally see the hd definitive version of p3 by the end of the year.
I'm pretty sure Sonic 2 allows 2 player on steam lol. Unless I misunderstood what you mean
Yes, definitely need to bring over Sonic Unleashed and Sonic Colours.
P5 I definitely ain't complaining about either. I still haven't played through royal for backlog reasons. If I can get a PC version instead. I'm not complaining
I'm even surprised by how well it did. But I was one who bought on day one. Despite it coming out of no where. Loved the game on Vita. Hopefully they'll bring a version of Persona 3 that's a mix between combat from P3P, female and male protag, as well as the complete 3d game like FES etc. Basically the version where you get the best of everything, no compromise
YES! It's coming out this year! Awesome news. This made my day. Thank you Atlus!
You know, I could wait till x-mas and hope i get it for a present. Too bad I'm a big fan and I'm going to have to get it day one =P
Poor Xbots
Poor Xbots, "P4 will hit shelves on December 9th, 2008. This will also include a bonus soundtrack CD!" Poor Xbots, they think their fixme dvd player is the best choice for RPGs. Poor Xbots, more and more rpgs for PS3, while more and more fixme dvd players break on them.
Poor Xbots
This is excellent news. I was hoping Atlus would get it over here this year.
F*ck yeah, Atlus now knows that people outside of Japan love SMT games. I'm glad the support and acclaim P3 and Fes has garnered influenced that. I love you Atlus, keep on making awesome RPGs.
