where is the new VF and Crazy Taxi leaks though? Project Re-fantasy? I wish if they were part of the reel too :(
I still remember that amazing behind the closed door E3 05 showcase where Sonic 06, VF5, After Burner Climax, THoD4 and Chrome Hounds were revealed for the first time.

Based on Atlus's past decisions, it's going to be PlayStation exclusive. Have an upgraded version down the line. And then that will have a multiplatform release. I hope to be wrong though!

Tales from my ass but personally I think part of the reason P3/P6 have taken so long are plans have shifted on what platforms to support.

I think both are likely to release on more than just PS now (following Yakuza and many other Sega releases now). So with more ports means more dev time for everything.

I think unless someone pays for outright exclusivity of some kind, Sega isn't really going to do just a one platform release anymore for something like Persona that continues to grow in popularity despite all odds with it's weird release structures of the past.
I really hope this is true, at least. I've been sitting on my hands in terms of grabbing a PS5 and I'm not pulling the trigger unless a Persona game is nabbed for exclusivity by Sony. If that never happens, I don't need to bother with the hardware and I can (hopefully) just play on PC.

So you think the recent ports had SEGA & Atlus shift their plans away from PlayStation exclusivity?
In the past a lot of Atlus "exclusivity" was just by the nature of that being the only platform they wanted to develop for, rather than getting any major benefits from PS (at least as far as we know).

However, Sega has really leaned in on growing their IPs globally and at minimum a PC release typically is in the cards now barring stuff that's very particular like Samba de Amigo.

The big thing is they have a lot more support studios for ports now. Like Soul Hackers 2 on Xbox wasn't even done by Atlus. So with that kind of support on board, there's really no need for just one version of the game unless a check is getting cut somewhere.

That isn't to say exclusivity wont/can't happen. Just I think that'll be the major component if we see any exclusivity at this point.

If you look closely at the image in this tweet they were more than likely focus testing multiple art styles. We don't know which one they decided to go with.

That's a little more reassuring then. Hopefully whatever they went with (if real) is a little more reminiscent of the older games, even if I know it can't be exactly the same. Hard to tell what the other styles being tested in that blurred image are.

yeah as far as we have heard from others in the past, main Persona was never actually exclusive to PS in terms some kind of deal. It was just at the time how Atlus divied up their titles for whatever reason to platforms they felt the most worth or whatever

the increased interest in not only Persona but other atlus games after P5's release has at least made SEGA interested in spreading these titles out to multiple platforms

but yeah a deal could happen now for say P6, but dunno about P3 remake or something.

I hope this is a remake of Portable and we'll finally get a fully realized female protagonist game.

I can't for the life of me imagine them going out of their way to release Persona games on every platform under the sun, see those multiplatform releases be huge successes despite being years old, and just…throw away all of that growth by going back to being PS exclusive in the very next release. It just wouldn't make any sense to me.

But this is Atlus we're talking about. And Sony is very obviously willing to pay for timed exclusives too.

If this is true after all, I wonder how they're going to handle Tartarus?

I can't seen it being a fully fledged "palace" like how P5 did its own thing.

I'm guessing it will be the same as the original game, but maybe each floor will have more things to explore?

What weird timing for Gematsu to get that info…hmmm

Since the cat is out of the bag, video is 100% fake but yes, you're getting P3 before 6 and ask me end of May about the trailer.
And Team Fake clinches it, apparently. Should have stuck to my guns more!

Anyway, great to have the confirmation. Any updates or insight on just how far out P6 is?

do you not understand that 3 came before 4???

and I know I might get some flak for saying this but Persona 3 was the best one (next to Persona 2) Persona 4 is great and all but Persona 3 is still the best game in the series for me. I'm happy that it's getting a remake treatment especially with Persona 5 like graphics and all.

curious on this front, how do you know the video is fake and is not just a 2+ year old build/work like suggested?

i think ps exclusive era is over tbh like they couldve done the whole p5s, soul hackers 2, p3p as exclusives thing but they didn't. p4u was a weird situation but at the very least i think we will be getting ps and pc at the same time if not ps pc xb and maybe switch down the line.

I played the original P3 release, and then FES twice. I don't think I really need a remake of P3.

All I've wanted for years is to be able to play the P2 Duology on a modern system. Why can't we just start with that?

I've known about it for a realllllly long time.

But since this is circulating, I thought it was the right time to share.

Again, I have no idea about the video itself.

End of May makes me think PS Showcase for sure, unless I'm reading this wrong and you just mean you won't know until then? Right now I'm reading it as you're expecting something in May

End of may can mean Playstation showcase, Keighleys show and hell maybe even the Xbox showcase, this is assuming it even gets announced this year though

I, for one, hope for the funniest scenario: announced at a PlayStation showcase but not actually a PS exclusive.

I feel like that's increasingly the move for all three platform holder shows. PERSONA COMING TO GAME PASS (after the show: Also Switch and Playstation). CHRONO CROSS COMING TO SWITCH (later: also Xbox and Playstation). RESIDENT EVIL 4 REMAKE ANNOUNCED AT STATE OF PLAY (moments later: also coming to Xbox and PC)

Right, but the way I'm reading their comment is a cheeky "ask me end of May," insinuating that it's planned for May itself
I was thinking that if the P3 Remake was going to be announced soon that they would know by the end of may considering all these events are late may or a bit later (assuming the Playstation showcase is in may like it is rumored to be). But hey maybe you're right
