I don't quite understand why people are assuming that a series that's only been on Playstation products is going to jump ship.

I don't know why people think Monster Hunter 3 is going to jump ship it's always been on Sony platforms!

I guess people love to start the speculation early. I guess I'd rather not jump the gun on thinking a game is jumping consoles. Its been happening a lot this gen though from what it seems like though. I guess wishful thinking is what really inspires the platform jump.

 

There's been SMT games on just about every platform dude : there was even one on the Xbox... the series whores itself out to every platform, in fact if you have the series on your console you might want to check it STV (sexually transmitted viruses)

So what you're saying is that All Shin Megami Tensei games are related to Persona? I'm not very familiar with the series personally. I'm basing all of my information off of the name "Persona." I always assumed Shin Megami Tensei was based on the people who made the game, not of the actual Persona series.

More of Atlus and the series as a whole isn't console specific nor have ever been, hell if Atlus could somehow put trauma center on another console I bet they would.

Well first of all, right off the bat I'll say this specific rumor is complete bull. No way they would announce a Persona game at E3. Persona barely sells in America. It would be announced at TGS or in a magazine issue in Japan.

Second, there are a few points worth making her:

Limiting tech level on the PS3 like Disgaea 3 did would allow you to make a PS3 game just a cheap as a PS2 or Wii game. So the costs argument is kinda moot.

That said, the demographics argument is not. From a sales standpoint the PSP would make much more sense, and I think that's significantly more likely. I think Wii is just about as likely as PS3.

 

About PSP...it makes the most sense, I agree. But I still don't know if they want to put the next one on a handheld. Chances are if Persona is also on the PSP so would SMT IV and the majority of the other SMT spin offs. Not sure if they wanna necessarily do that. It's certainly possible though.

About PS3...true if they limit the tech they could make it much cheaper but I don't know how many SMT/Persona fans would be willing to buy a PS3 which is more expensive than the Wii or the PSP. I think Wii is probably a higher candidate than PS3 due to its cheap price. So I'm not really sure what a clear benefit is if it's going to have similar tech but a smaller userbase. Someone's yet to answer that in this thread.


whats with the "It makes more sense to put it on Wii/PSP/DS" mentality. Everything cannot translate well into a downsized Wii game or handheld port. If everything had the potential to be or do better on the Wii/DS/PSP we wouldn't even have any games on the HD consoles. Fortunately, some things work for the casual systems, others don't. Madworld is a Hardcore kind of game, with plenty of blood and violence and good action to boot. It did terribly on the Wii. Why? Because there is no fanbase for such a game on the Wii. People who like that sort of thing want to see it in full HD glory. This should prove that not everything will do better on casual systems....

P5 will do best on HD consoles, and its most likely destination would be PS3. PS3 is a Japanese console, which japanese gamers are most likely to buy(especially now). It would give them the best access for it. As well as the fact RPG fans in general on the PS3 are just about starved so this will be a welcomed addition. The game made its mark on the world with P3 and 4 which was on PS2. Brand loyalty doesn't mean much, but it does mean something. Fans of the series will most likely look towards the PS3 for the sequal(I know I am).

 

This fucking shit is getting annoying now... this isn't even a sales discussion nor a thread about madworld, do you want to start a huge flame war again, where people bring up every hardcore game that does sell well, puts you in your place where you wont listen to facts, logic, or reason, dragging in more fanboys, until the thread is epic fail.  God is this ban worthy yet?

It's also annoying when people claims that making a PS3 exclusive game is a financial suicide. As if  they know better than the developers. All they do is pure assumptions.

Just like Torillian said: I really think that people on this forum need to take a step back and think about what they really know and what they don't.

@Soriku: What makes you think that fans of Persona fans will not buy a PS3 for Persona 5?  Again assumptions. I also think by the time P5 release, PS3 is a lot cheaper?

okay. I wiki'ed Shin Megami Tensei

Spin offs include the Persona, Devil Summoner, and the Digital Devil Saga series.

Is that pretty accurate? I'm trying to make sure I have this down so that next time I don't jump into an argument. I still don't see why Persona would go PS, PS2, Wii but it seems to be a recurrent trend this generation so I guess I can't argue that.

My question earlier wasn't so much pointed at the idea of games switching from PS exclusive to another Wii or 360 exclusive. It's more along the lines of Why is that when someone reports a rumor, why does it get turned from being a rumor about the game coming to the PS3 into a rumor about another console?

 

It happens mostly when the rumor starts from a source that isn't credible so people start talking about what is possible.  To be honest the series could go to DS and I think everyone would jump on board pretty well, I mean Dragon Quest went NES, SNES, PS1, PS2 and then DS (wait wtf where did this come from!) and now things are pretty much where it makes the most sense the series should go there be it handheld or system anything is possible.  And now DQX is going to be Wii.  Wii just gets fit with the niche JRPG system title while DS is really the better fit.

A lot of it comes from stylish non intense graphics are a fit for the Wii, while you could keep that and put it on PS3, lots of games don't get much attention if it doesn't turn heads and thus how the industry is starting to try to cannibalize itself.  Which all adds up to this people/developers see it as they NEED to look good to compete with other games, this may not be true, nor should it, but it's the stereotype, and the funny thing about stereotypes is they are often true.

Man with $50 you could buy Persona 4 and still have $10 left over for food.

if you had a PS3 you wouldn't care

I own a PS3... I think it'd be stupid for the game to be a PS3 excluisve.

Perhaps you are reflecting your own issues though... where if you didn't have a PS3 you would suddenly see it as a bad move.

PSP is the way to go.  About the same level graphics.  Cheap.... lots of people have them in Japan.

Familarity with the system... fully done engines.


 

I doubt you own a ps3.

but never mind, some time it is good for trolling.

keep it up

I do agree that the DS is definitely the RPG master. PSP would probably be second IMO. Wii, 360 and PS3 are just fighting for scraps at this point. I think PS3 versions of the game would have a lot of DLC like Disgaea 3 does and that's why I feel it's an adequate system for it to go to. I'm honestly looking forward to the PSP version of Persona because I haven't gotten to play any of the other ones. I'm also hoping that it does what Disgaea did and they release the rest of the games on the PSP.

 

 

As am I, I've never played the Persona series, saw a few reviews but wasn't convinced but then the fanbase is very passionate and you don't act like that if the game sucks, unless it's over hyped :P but niche games dont get that hype so no worries there.  I hope the PSP game is great and they bring the others to PSP since I don't have a BC PS3 and my PS2 is dead lol and I'm not buying another one until I can find one for dirt cheap somewhere.

Besides, you really think someone with 12k+ posts on this forum would get away with blantant lying and not get called out?

No Skittles, you wish that would come true, you know, just like how said (wished?) that the release of WKC would be in the first quarter of '09 while I said the game won't make it 'till after April '09, and of course, I was the right one. :p

As for a new Persona, I think one is already in work for PS3, because right after Persona 3, the programmers were starting working on a new engine for PS3.

 

 ...How'd ya know I said that? D:

 

aren't you on gametrailers???

I call stalker :p

 

 

I dunno this game but the more games the better :p
