The problem is it's working off PSP resolution images so there's very little to work with. For the broad strokes like the classroom background it's basically fine. It starts to run into problems though on things that have very few pixels to work off.

The biggest red flag of those shots is the benches at the mall where the AI couldn't quite work out what was bench and what was shadowing so they look a bit melty. Similarly, the bicycle in front of the police box is sort of phasing out of existence because there weren't enough pixels for the AI to work out what it was.

This is interesting to learn and I'm glad you explained it, but this still seems like a very minor issue.

Like, the graphics are a little shittier than they used to be? That's it? The story and gameplay are still the same, it's just that background details look worse and.... that's it.

Like, it's not great and I recognize it's a lazy way to do it, but the floor in the mall background looking smudged isn't going to be a deal breaker for me and it's weird that people on Twitter are acting like this is a huge scandal and an affront to them personally as if Atlus literally just spit in their mouths (but then people are doing that all the time always about basically every video game ever made for one reason or another so I guess it's not that surprising).

Yeah, but 4 is basically toeing the line of virulently heteronormative, even when compared to a game with Operation Babe Hunt, and one with gay sexual predators used as a punch line. Soooo, I'll go to bat that 3 is considerably better written than 4, because it's not that.

i dearly love p4 but yeah there’s some really dodgy poo poo in there that takes you out of the game while it’s going on

"Should they bring FES or Portable?" has been a constant discussion topic between fans since they launched P4G on Steam and it's pretty clear there's no definitive answer.

Sure they could've made a remake with the best of both worlds but honestly I'd rather they use those resources and manpower to develop new games.

Yeah, I don't think we've heard anything about Persona 6 at all aside from the fact that it's going to be headed up by new people. I'm really curious about it, I'd like to see if some fresh blood can fix up some old issues with the series.

I tried out Persona 1 for the first time today and I wasn't quite sold on the characters until the adorable scene where Eriko comes charging into the hospital to save the day because she thinks she's the chosen one. :3:

For their recent Persona games, only Strikers was not announced during a Persona Super Live concert in Japan:
WIth a Super Live concert scheduled for October 8th, I'd be shocked if they don't at least tease P6 then.

Eriko is fukken great, she is basically the female protagonist in almost every way, to the point where she uses the same weapons and shares similar contact skills. (also she uses a rifle which are so goddamn good in that game).

P1 has amazing atmosphere and charming writing, it's a shame the PSP remake absolutely destroyed the atmosphere by taking out most of the sound effects and 3/4ths of the music tracks.

At the very least, I hope Atlus can bring in the anime cutscenes from FES and bring them into the P3P ports. There "should" not be any technical issue or difficulty of transferring some video files from one game to another :suicide:

They would have to change the code to have the cutscene triggers in there. 95% sure they're not touching the game code at all.

Really, the best solution is just to do a kingdom hearts thing, string all the cutscenes from The Answer together into a movie, and put it as a menu option.

Also FWIW that so called "Press release" about P5R et al coming to Steam is completely unconfirmed and is just engagement bait from some bottom feeder gaming website.

I mean it might still be true but again, the Steam logo is very conspicuous by its absence on all of the real, official announcements so far. It was front and center at the end of the very first trailer for Soul Hackers 2, for instance.

Here is your official source for all platforms that P3P, P4G, and P5R are coming to: https://persona.atlus.com/ and https://twitter.com/Atlus_West/status/1536885353730125824

Why does everyone think I'm going to get in trouble?

Actually yeah why is only Royal getting a PS5 version? It’s probably wholly unnecessary, I can’t think of any PS5 features that would meaningfully improve my P5R experience, but why not get 4G or 3P running natively on PS5 too?

My guess is that it’s so they have all three releasing on a playstation console in some way on those dates, and the only way to do that for P5R is to put in on PS5. The other two aren’t on PS4, so there’s no need to put them on PS5 to have something to release. It’s still somewhat weird they’re doing a series x release but not ps5 for those, though.

Would be nice if it winds up just being a free update for existing PS4 owners. I don't think it'd be all that much, just 4k and faster load times for a game that already loads pretty fast when playing it in backwards compatibility on PS5?

He's got a shockingly high number of nav lines, but only refers to Joker and Violet by name.

I've already played Persona 5 twice through with all confidants both times (once in vanilla and once in Royal) so I don't think I'll be buying that again any time soon. But P3P and P4G will be tempting when they come out. I haven't played Persona 3 in ages and I've never actually played the Golden version of P4.

P4G being a Steam (well, and Vita) exclusive of all things for a couple of years was just the strangest thing

I wonder how much of its breakout success on that platform was PC gamers and how much was people really wanting to play P4G and creating a Steam account on their laptops or whatever. Though I did try running P4G on integrated graphics just to test it out and it ... didn't run great, at least if I recall correctly.
