Persona 5 PS3 Exclusive?

Sankakucomplex writes:

What appears to be an accidental announcement from a pachinko industry publication holds that "a consumer announcement of PS3 exclusive Persona 5 is scheduled."

The mention is slipped in with the industry announcement surrounding a Megami Tensei themed pachinko machine, so it seems unlikely to be an outright fabrication, though of course it could be genuinely mistaken, and it will almost certainly turn out to be "mistaken" and quietly excised

never heard of the persona series but seriously wth is it (looks at the screens on the article)

Voozi6157d ago

His first console gen was this gen, be easy now ;)

MGOelite6157d ago (Edited 6157d ago )

kindly gtfo^^ my first console was the SNES>ps1>ps2>wii>P S3

vhero6157d ago

Meh never been a fan of the old games maybe this one will be better but I mean we really want a new Nex-Gen Suikoden!

JonnyBigBoss6157d ago

Persona have been some of the absolute best RPGs of the past decade. They have only been for the PS2 though. This is a huge announcement really, because once the PS3 has more RPGs it will have no weakness.

gamesmaster6157d ago (Edited 6157d ago )

brilliant! im playing 4 on my ps2 at the moment. persona as a series is a very niche franchise. quirky JRPGs, i love them.

UltimateIdiot9116157d ago

=O It's either you're out of touch with JRPG or you've been living under a rock.

Anyway, it's a Shin Megami Tensei game. Persona has been around since PS1 and other Shin Megami Tensei game a bit further back. It's a series revolving around demons and different ideologies where your choice influences the outcome. It's a really good series and if you enjoy what if scenarios, then this is something you'll enjoy.

mastiffchild6157d ago

The last two Persona's on PS2 were better than any next genjrpgs imo-I'd be more than happy to see a next gen one appear whether exclusive to PS3 or not. Tbh , though I like the quirky and charming art of the series I can't realy imagine what going HD will offer the series as you wouldn't even say they were flash looking PS2 games really.

As long as they don't mess the formula for the games it'll be another instant classic for me and so long as the visuals aren't as lazy as those of Disgaea3 when that series made the HD jump we'll be fine.

I'm no jrpg expert and haven't played them religiously like many fans have but I don't miss a Megami Tensei these days-I didn't think they'd top number three but, for me, four was even more of a buzz. A bit more eye candy would just be the icing on the cake as long as the story and gameplay are up to standard. Looking forward to it!

Anyone else wonder if , seeing 360's Japanese standing, and the fact it's a PS sralwart so most fans will own PS3s would it even be worth making a niche title(esp in the west) on MS console? I'm not so sure it's financially viable to make two versions-one of which will have a very limited home audience and possibly even fewer on 360 in the US/EU-so maybe the PS3 exclusivity isn't misguided.

Whatever, as long as it arrives sooner rather than later-great summons!

ssipmraw6157d ago

smaller companys such as NIS are capable of releasing games for the ps3 exclusively so im sure that atlus can be just as capable :)

rockleex6157d ago (Edited 6157d ago )

Just wait and see all the exclusive JRPG announcements Sony will make at TGS! >:D

Btw, I think this is an official announcement of the coming announcement of Persona 5. No mistake.

@Sony:
You should get an exclusive Zone of the Enders 3 from Kojima!!! >_<
I need my someone to satisfy my Mech hunger! Armored Core has been slipping off ever since part 3.

Or, Sony should work with From Software on their next Armored Core since Sony helped with Demon's Souls and it turned out to be AAA.

Plus, we need Dark Cloud 3 with Play Create Share features! >:D

GameGambits6157d ago

That site is almost a porn site yeesh. I will def. take what they have to say with a grain of salt.

As for "what is Persona," you need to just go back to Halo and quite down.

JL6156d ago

I will take this with a grain of salt as well til we get official announcement. However this would be big for PS3 if it turns out to be true. I'd still like to go back and play Persona 4, but I don't have a means to play ps2 games at the moment.

Zedux6156d ago

OMG!!! So much pornography in that site there had to be some warning from N4G before clicking the link!!!

rockleex6156d ago

Ever been a bad thing? ^_~

Persona series started on PS1-PS2 and now PS3 so hopefully we'll here a official announcement soon.

Voozi6157d ago

Meh I'll wait for the official announcement because we've seen what happened with Devil May Cry & Armored Core so...but either way exclusive or not, was planning on getting this on my PS3 regardless of exclusive or not exclusive(assuming P5 was coming out on current gen consoles and not PS2)

Ninji6157d ago

Finally it stopped being on the PS2.

Model6157d ago

is persona any good ? never played it

Elven66157d ago

I played some of Persona 4, the environment/setting was really immersive, I got up-to the pat where you are allowed to freely roam around but I stopped their since I didn't have the time commitment then to finish it. Might go back to it shortly though.

ssipmraw6157d ago

ive played persona 3 and 4, both games are very good and original.
i love how the series doesnt have that lame medieval style final fantasy games consist of.

kagon016157d ago

The series needed to move in the platform of the future.

I want Suikoden to do that as well...

keysy4206157d ago

isnt this games still selling copies on ps2. this wouldn't make sense to convert your players

ssipmraw6157d ago

its not like persona is as well known as sayy Final Fantasy, its a very nich but hardcore series

Reibooi6157d ago

The persona franchise and by some degree the SMT franchise has been exclusive to the playstation platform since the PS1 so this makes alot of since. Either way I will take the game any way i can get it.

HarukoHex6156d ago

yet so has devil may cry, ace combat, star ocean, armored core, and import tuner challenge, were all sony only titles, until this gen, so we will have to wait and see.

Personally, I'd rank Pacific Rift in my top 10. It's the best of the series.

badz149451d ago

We desperately need Motorstorm back. Evolution is no more though and this makes me sad

Cacabunga451d ago

Sly Thieves in Time
Stay the Party
Portal 2
Dj Hero
Demon’s Souls
God of war Ascension

rudero450d ago

2 of those games got railed through the “gaming media” during release.
Sly and god of war.
Both of which were fantastic games.

Cacabunga450d ago

Ascension is VERY underrated. Remake please!

Venoxn4g451d ago

Decent list.. I would put the Castle Crashers as well..

1Victor450d ago

Yes it’s a decent list of popular games with a heavy hand on FPS and no Warhawk or Starhawk 2 of the best games (not sale wise) on ps3.
I would buy a Starhawk again even if it didn’t have a graphics upgrade hell I would even take a new one with micro transactions 😱🤯

Profchaos451d ago

I've noticed a recent nostalgia for the PS3 and I don't get it for me it's been my least favourite generation to date and I've been gaming since the NES I just feel like the ambition of the developers outweighed the capabilities of the consoles so I remember lots of games running in the lower end of 20fps range and I remember for the first time ever actually disliking the duelshock 3 and it's curved triggers

Sure there were some standouts and great games but that's the only gen I switched entirely to PC gaming

darthv72451d ago

Maybe the recent nostalgia is because pretty much all of its games are trapped on that console. People want to play them on more modern hardware. hell... if XB can do it then so can Sony. there are competent emulators out there that can run on PS4/5 hardware but Sony just wont let them become official... why is that?

If we are talking least favorite generations (personally) then this one is certainly mine. i had more fun playing 8th, 7th and 6th gen stuff than 9th. And it isnt like i dont have access to do so... the heavy hitters just havent shown up anywhere close to those previous gens. The few here and there just doesnt cut it compared to the likes of constant good games that showed up in 6th, 7th and 8th gen. hell.... I'll even throw in 5th gen has been better than this one.

Profchaos450d ago

I tend to agree there's lots of amazing games locked to the PS3 like GTA IV or mgs 4 but then again my issue was never with the content the PS3 had but rather it's performance many other people have said the PS3 felt like it couldn't walk and chew bubblegum at the same time using PSN and downloading a game could take a few minutes to just start a download.

I typically don't worry all that much about performance I've never had a problem with games that run at 30 but games like crysis 2, Skyrim are good examples where the performance was so unstable you would never even touch the top of the frame cap and the hitching was worse than say Goldeneye on the n64

I think emulation is more than possible on the ps5 though it's just that Sony has no incentive to rush it's development it will likely be a ps6 feature if it ever happens at all.

But yeah the 9th gen has been so bad from a content perspective thats a given I see constant articles where people are frequently expressing their disappointment around the industry as a whole right now to much live service competition that sinks longstanding studios and consumes Devs time less ambition and games cost so much to make they have to play it safe.

The 5th gen was easily better than the 9th we had some all time greats crash, Spyro, Tony hawk, mgs, Mario,64, Goldeneye, Mario kart 64 the list goes on. The 5th gave us a new dimension and I remember being blown away by how much more open gaming had become the 4th gen with the mega drive and SNES was great and very easy to still revisit some of the greatest games of all time came out like earthbound, secret of mana, sonic , Mario world etc but saving our games was still not a standard function or a given so gaming was still evolving but it was very impressive to see some of the tricks Devs used like dithering to give us new experiences those earlier gens limitations bred innovation.

Michiel1989450d ago

if XB can do it so can sony? I didn't know xbox had a cell processor in their older consoles, that's the reason why ps3 was so cool, but also the reason why games are hostage there and no, xbox did nothing similar even though their backward compatbility is good, they always had a similar architecture to their consoles.

darthv72450d ago

Sorry Michael... I guess you missed the obvious part where i said there are already emulators out that do this. and that is what XB is doing... emulators for OG and 360 games. Its why the full slate is not BC on XBO/Series.

coolbeans450d ago (Edited 450d ago )

The list is missing Folklore.
