Atlus Leaker: Persona 2 Remaster and Persona 4 Remake both "exist" at Atlus

Back in July this leaker said P3R was the only remake in active development, so these projects are probably in pre-prod or something? I don't know, I just post here.

Felt this deserves its own thread. Didn't see chatter about it in the other thread about their P3R DLC leak. Please lock if old, I searched both here and through Nesbot.

Persona 4 remake sounds cool and all… But a full fledged P2 remake would be INSANE. Stuff of dreams. Basically a brand new game for most of us.

For the love of gawd please be true!!!

 

[Makoto Yuki]

I'll believe P2 remake when I see it, P4 is a given.

 

[chocolate]

Oh god a P4 remake... sigh.

 

[Mivey]

I'd imagine a Persona 2 remake would be a full on re-imagination, I don't see Atlus splitting that into two again, and that would likely already give you an entirely new game, even if they stick true to the structure of the Persona 2, which was a much more traditional JRPG dungeon crawler in the vein of old SMT
titles.

What I can't see is taking any of the Persona 2 games and cramming in the school simulation from modern games into it, not without changing virtually everything and basically making an entirely different (and much more boring) game.

 

[LossAversion]

Good. I hope they put in some real work on Yosuke and Kanji in particular.

 

[Slayven]

But Golden is.....Golden

 

[Sir Lucan]

P2 Remake would be wild.

 

[11037]

If the Persona 4 remake doesn't include the cut Yosuke romance then I don't want it.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

I don't give a shit about P4 but god damn does anything P2 make me hyped.

I just wonder what it could be and if I can trust modern Atlus to do anything good with the masterpiece that P2 is.

 

[Rusty Jacket]

I don't know much about 2 but I be excited to play it if a remake treatment is done.

 

[RockmanBN]

Finally. Persona 2 may be a real Persona game

but now they can sell the ULTIMATE version of 4

and then sell the Golden later as DLC!

 

[Slayven]

I would sell B-Dubs soul for a Digital Devil Saga 1 and 2 remaster or remake....or a quick port to steam

If they do a pretty massive reimagining that's fine - just make the original accessible the way they have for P4G and P3P.

There are more bathing suits to sell....and palette swapped personas

 

[Chaos2Frozen]

Persona 4.... Revolution.

 

[danm999]

Wonder if they leave in or take Hitler out

 

[Linus815]

P4G is one of my fav games ever, would love a proper remake.

 

[ArchLector]

Man these Atlas leakers, this one and others on Resetera, must be really high up in hierarchy, maybe the CEO of Atlas or Sega is leaking themselves. They suddenly have minute information about every single project that is 5-6 years away of a company in Japan, lol. Or maybe they really are John Titor...

 

[Fat4all]

persona 2 gonna be reskinned persona 5

 

[Lost Heaven]

P4 remake was a given considering how well P3R is doing..i'm all for it since it's my favorite, but P2 remake would be the true megaton.

 

[KtotheRoc]

I wonder how they would handle a P2 remake. Would it contain both IS and EP?

 

[Super]

Please let P2 remake be true.

 

[Dice]

But Golden is.....Golden

Click to shrink...

No it i$n't.

I want P2 though. Very very much.

 

[Slayven]

Is this a safe space....can i say i really hate the menu design for P5, them carrying it over to Tactica made me fall of the game.

 

[Gure]

While I understand the love for Persona 2 after playing Persona 3 Reload this weekend, all I need is Persona 4 Remake.

 

[Slayven]

No it i$n't.

this is NOT a safe space i'm going to smack the hell out of you

 

[Kline]

P4G is literally flawless, a nigh perfect game. No remake needed but I'd take it.

A P2 remake though, now you're talking.

Cramming both stories into one game would entail essentially repeating 50% of the same story all over again. Which was a pretty fun thing to do when you had two different game, but doing it in the same one would feel a bit like a Yoko Taro game, with the game having multiple routes and you replaying the game to see them. It just feels too strange and weird for any normal game company to attempt it, I think.

 

[wrowa]

It'd be funny if they P3-ified Persona 2.

 

[Slayven]

Demikids anyone?

 

[Lampa]

Please not Persona 4....

Persona 5 menu is the biggest example of style over functionality in the medium. It's extremely cool to look at, but the design directs your gaze in all the wrong places.

 

[Kain]

P2 is sure something, I'd love to see a remake.

As for P4G it was already ridiculous from all the qol improvements and so but I'll take it too

 

[Mediking]

Uhhhhh…

Exactly, like it was designed to be seen and not interacted with at all

 

[Sasliquid]

Not that they'd do it but remake P4 with a FeMc option, add back in the Yosuke romance and a couple of other P5 tweaks (non party social links having minor combat benefits) and I think you'd have my unequivocal favourite game of all time.

 

[Syne]

Gimme that P4 remake

 

[Yu Narukami]

Didn't the other member from here say that Atlus weren't working on a remake?

 

[Ravelle]

A modern P2 with the classic art style would be super cool.

 

[Saturday]

can't believe p4 would benefit more from a remake unless they start chucking in a lot more content.

P2 is a tricky beast. P3 alone has seen some changes and some are, while subtle enough, do sufficiently shift the mood. P2 may.. get more changes. But you throw enough resources at it, and hell, why tf not

 

[Wyze]

P2 would be kind of insane since it's basically two games.

 

[artsi]

After P3R I'm sold on remake of Persona 4 even when Golden exists. The graphics and gameplay fluidity with this engine is just too good as long as they put more effort to the environments.

 

[noffles]

P4 remake isn't very exciting seeing as Golden exists. P2 remake is hype though

 

[Hours Left]

P4 needs a huge rewrite, so I'd only be interested in it if they make meaningful changes, primarily eliminating all the homophobia, transphobia and sexism, and adding queer romance options.

P2 (and P1) need remakes even more though so they're available on modern platforms.

 

[Linus815]

im 100% convinced p2 fans will blow a gasket when the remake has modern persona aesthetics

 

[Taruranto]

Persona 4 is obvious, P2 I don't believe it but they may want to milk the series success a bit more by making it more like P3-5.

 

[Patitoloco]

Persona 4 remake would be better if they actually removed the Golden stuff!
