Atlus confirms you cannot upgrade PS4 version of Persona 5 Royal to the PS5 version

I was more responding to you saying PS5 can barely handle 4k, which it can easily do for last gen games.
CDPR is letting people upgrade their own TW3 PC/ps4/Xbox one SKU to the next gen one FOR FREE
And TW3 sold over 40 million units.
This is just Atlus being Atlus.
All other things being equal (ie. I'm not talking about some remade P5 that has its visuals augmented for PS5) I don't see why not? While P5 was developed for PS3, it's visual make-up/rendering pipeline is still overwhelmingly that of a PS2/Xbox gen title, just in high-definition with higher resolution assets.
Yes - and while it's arguably geometrically less complex (it's hard to directly compare given the completely different camera-perspectives) it's also arguably more complex in shading/material handling. Consider that Switch could only reach ~900p in that title, and that's a console that has about 2x more GPU throughput PS3 did. Correcting for framerate doubling, that'd still make Touryst more demanding on the hw than P5, if only by small margin.
But let's ignore the above, and go the opposite way. Say that in fact, P5 is 2x more demanding on PS5 hardware than Touryst, that would still be enough to run it at 8k@30.
Probably the people Atlus expects to pay full price for the same game for the third time... again... all over... ahem... sorry I had to get that out of the system.
Eh - so far we've seen plenty occurrences of PS5 GPU outperforming PS4Pro by 4:1. Sometimes more - I wouldn't put my hand in fire it would be the case with this title, but it's also not impossible.
This is likely Japan only. Considering that most retailers in Japan don't even carry Xbox games anymore, this makes sense.
Also, only PS5 and Switch will have a physical version, so digital only for Xbox fans.
The same company that sold Persona 5 Royal at full price (wtih the +$100 versions that didn't even came with all the DLCs), had no upgrade path for vanilla owners to Persona 5 Royal on the same platform and didn't even include the og Persona 5 DLCs in P5R if you haven't purchased them originally (and added more paid DLCs for P5R on top of that), now wants you to buy the PS5 version separately? *GASPS*
Persons is extremely easy to run it's already native 4k on the pro something it usually can't do
It sucks to say this because Atlus makes so many great games but as a business they're massive assholes. I hope you guys are ready for Persona 6 to be cross-gen and then two years after we'll get a full priced re-release on PS5 with one new girl added and a new dungeon.
Of course discussing these things is usally pointless because fanboys will come in to tell you they'd gladly pay $100 again for a game they love.

The reality is that Atlus (and the industry at large) wouldn't do these kinds of things if customers didn't buy them. As a consumer, you only have a few options. Buy the games repeatedly to get all the content, wait until they are done making versions and only buy the final release, or stop buying their games altogether. I think the practice of re-releasing games one generation later is pretty gross on its face, especially when there is backwards compatibility, but there's something especially humorous about it when it's done for a game that's a million hours long. If I played each released version of Persona 5 now, we'd be looking at something close to 300 hours of time, possibly more. Persona 5 is a good game. It's not 300 hours good, and it's definitely not 180 dollars good.
To be fair, they kinda did, but it was not included in the game itself. Basically, they made all DLC from the base game available for free for Persona 5 Royal players, but it's in a separate DLC pack called the Legacy DLC Bundle.

I'm not defending Atlus, btw. This was the bare minimum they could do, IMO.
I stand corrected then. For some reason I thought you could only get the DLCs that you've bought in P5 og.
I don't have it in me to play the first three months for a third time.
Sigh...of course. I was going to get it on PC anyway, but that sucks for people that already bought it on console. It really wouldn't kill them to have some sort of discount.
We have? LIke which ones? Most games are somewhere between 2x - 3x. 4x is only possible if the PS4Pro was being underutilized.
Not what I meant. "New enhanced version a year or so after release," is a whole different problem from "two slightly different games day 1," imo.
I was thinking things like the third versions, ultra sun and ultra moon, the G versions of monster hunter games, or the kingdom hearts final mix games. Those have all been replaced by dlc and expansions.
I must admit I laughed at the sheer audacity of the "We would appreciate" line.
Like, its hilarious in how brazen it is, hahahah.

Wow, but it's the Atlus way. All this probably because they still want PS4 owners to buy the DLC. Nope, can't give that shit away for free. Also zero chance that saves can transfer over.
Yea, I'll probably end up double dipping on this (triple if base Persona 5 counts) either on Switch or PS5, but in any case that won't be at full price.
Welp looks like I won't be purchasing the PS5 version then, a game like Persona being 30fps instead of 60fps isn't enough of an issue that I'd pay full price for something I already own, especially since saves likely won't transfer.
I mean there still would have been backlash either way with not allowing the upgrade, but they should just left the answer with the first sentence. Adding that second sentence made it 100x worse. The person who wrote that FAQ needs to be fired. 😂
I will probably eventually get this on Steam, but the whole thing is ridiculous. Doubly so for that freaking "please buy it" BS.
