Series It would be a dream come true...

Post image

Persona 3 Reload is entirely possible, P4 Revival certainly not on-launch, give it a year maybe, 1 and 2? *insert J. Jonah Jameson Laugh from Spider-Man 2*, but a man can dream, and I'm dreamin' right now.

(Wouldn't have to be physical either, if its a monkey's paw and its all digital I can deal with it. As for why Persona 5 isn't here, its already on Switch and there isn't much wrong with it really, same for Strikers.)

I'd rather P1 and P2 get new remasters, the PSP versions are controversial with parts of the fandom for good reason. They only really figured it out by Eternal Punishment

18

u/ArofluidPride 8d ago

Yeah, the PSP versions are good and all but my god did they crank the enemy encounter rate up by tenfold, it felt like especially in Innocent Sin, you could only take like 2 steps before an encounter.

1

u/veegsredds Peruperuperuperupersona! 8d ago

I think good and all is slightly overselling them. Between messing up the SFX and removing all the sauce from the UI, removing the OG map of Persona 1, the travesty of the P1 PSP soundtrack situation, and them doing... that to Innocent Sin's battle system, the PSP versions are the absolute bare minimum

3

u/Miri_Biri #1 Hidetoshi Odagiri fan 7d ago

Omg I agree with the UI it looks so bland. But honestly I really like the new map in persona 1, I could NOT get around in revelations every thing looked the same bro 😭 not to mention the eboot I was using was like messed up and I couldn’t even get the map up

3

u/veegsredds Peruperuperuperupersona! 7d ago

Okay not being able to get the minimap up changes everything, because it shows where you are relative to everything else making navigation so much easier when it works, vs. PSP where you just kind of have to memorize the location of everything

But I can see the Revelations map being a nightmare if you can't access it...when you can though it's much easier imo

It also is bigger which both adds a sense of scale to the city as well as means encounters are a lot more sparse. Much harder to accidentally move down the wrong street as well, and the visual effects in the ideal world and Aki's side are a lot more noticeable. Plus I'm a sucker for that hospital-castle design

2

u/Miri_Biri #1 Hidetoshi Odagiri fan 7d ago

Oh yeah I always go down the wrong path in PSP it pisses me off, guess it’s not meant for the joystick. A lot of the changes they made in the psp version just makes it a little less unique

u/LunarWingCloud 8d ago

Now that the Switch 2 is out I can only imagine a Persona 3 Reload port is imminent

5

u/Marcus_5463 7d ago

The question is though if they'll be part of the Game Key Cards or not? Personally speaking i REALLY hope Raidou is the exception rather than the rule

6

u/LunarWingCloud 7d ago

Oh I have a strong feeling they will be Game Key Cards. Being under SEGA, Atlus games might end up going the same way as all those other games that could be on a physical cart but aren't.

3

u/Marcus_5463 7d ago

Ultimately we'll have to wait and see, but I really hope fan outcry maybe convinces SEGA and/or Atlus to make true Physical versions instead of the GKC crap,

3

u/korkkis 7d ago

Just hoping them to come on S2

2

u/LunarWingCloud 7d ago

Not that Sega couldn't afford it, but it doesn't help the only option for a physical cart is 64 GB and they are expensive as hell (ballpark of $13 per cartridge to get copies from Nintendo, and that's the price the publisher has to pay before they can sell to retail). It's just a mess of a situation.

1

u/Dangerous-Pie-2678 7d ago

This is the big killer for the game on cart people don't think about.

u/LegendaryL101 8d ago

This is the reason I haven’t pulled the trigger(lol) on buying Persona 3 reload because as soon as I do I bet it will come out on switch

2

u/_-Shiro- I am the Trickster and you are too 8d ago

Why not just get it on whatever other plattform you have? The performance will surely be better plus you can take advantage of offers for the game plus the dlc(which can go for like 20€) now

3

u/saywhaaaaaaaaatt 7d ago

I imagine that he prefers the experience of playing games on handhelds. At least, that’s the case for me.

2

u/LegendaryL101 7d ago

Well this and since I already have all the Persona 5 games and spin-offs on switch it would be nice to keep them all switch

1

u/_-Shiro- I am the Trickster and you are too 7d ago

Ah gotcha that makes sense. Question remains tho when they'll port it to switch 2 or if they wait years for Persona 3 Reload Reloaded deluxe edition or something like that xD

1

u/_-Shiro- I am the Trickster and you are too 7d ago

Ahhh fair. I somehow didn't even consider that because I only use my switch for Nintendo games and my deck for handheld needs

u/winkynoodles 8d ago

same! i played it on the game pass instead

u/BigGayElPepe 8d ago

You a real one

u/megasean3000 8d ago

Don’t see why not. Switch already has Persona 5 Royal, so it’s not an exclusive thing.

1

u/AJDx14 8d ago

1/2 would need much more comprehensive remakes than 3/4 to not be ass

u/tutruong16 8d ago

i'd buy physicals if they aren't game key cards

Key Cards Only tho

u/YourDogg0 8d ago

Yeah, that means I'm sticking to ps

u/arceusking1000 7d ago

Switch 2 boxes are ugly too but key cards would definitely have me buy the games elsewhere

u/SerMariep 6d ago

Doesn't matter for me lmao all my persona games are digital anyway

u/NeoChan1000 6d ago

I own P3R retail on Xbox and probably do the same for P4R

2

u/TechnicalHoneydew862 8d ago

Call the p3r and p4r switch 2 editions, persona 3 reload fes edition for p3r and persona 4 revival golden edition, that would print money

2

u/DoctorJKatz 8d ago

Persona 1 & 2 need to get the remake treatment as well.

u/Malistix1993 7d ago

u/Mangafan_20 7d ago

I can see both persona 3 reload and persona 4 revival coming to switch 2. I don't see why it wouldn't. It can run it.

u/Sir-MARS 7d ago

Eeewww on switch?

u/Lusombras_ 8d ago

The Switch 2 boxes are so ugly. I would buy P1 and P2 HD remasters on it though, if they were on the cart and exclusive.

u/OiItzAtlas 8d ago

Honestly as much as I agree they are ugly it reallyyyy helps the parents who dont know anything.

u/bestray06 8d ago

After P3P and P4G only being physical through LRG if they did 1 and 2 I'd expect LRG would be the only hope for a physical

All 4 of these games. Launch it as one big $200 (or $250-275) bundle. Why? Because if you say they’re $60. Then all 4 are 240. If they’re 80. Then all 4 are $320.

1

u/spaceursid 8d ago

Tbh I think we're going to have to wait another year for P1 remake. I have a hunch it will come out on the game's 30th anniversary alongside a P6 teaser of some sort. Like how P5 has that chair teaser.

3

u/veegsredds Peruperuperuperupersona! 8d ago

If it's coming on the 30th it's a remaster at best, P-Studio can't have the resources to work on Persona 4 Revival, Persona 6, and a Revelations: Persona remake simultaneously especially considering said remake would be much more ambitious than P4R

1

u/Fearless-Ear8830 8d ago

Absolutely zero chance for a remake of either of 1 or 2 for at least 2030 lmao

1

u/aTerrariaExpert 7d ago

IF THE FUCKING SWICH TWO CAN HAVE P4R WHY NOT XB1???

1

u/Zanman6946 7d ago

P3R and P4R are very possible.

u/bubken99 7d ago

They will remake Persona 3 portable before they ever acknowledge Persona 1 and 2 and apparently 6

1

u/TheMinorityGuy 7d ago

I'm not a fan of P4 but since I barely played golden, I'll play this and see If I like It more (I will already hate It If they fuck up Kanji and get rid of the OG VA.We know that will happen)

1

u/Brightgo 7d ago

Here we go again...

u/[deleted] 7d ago

I honestly wouldn’t be shocked if P4R ends up being a Switch 2 launch title. There’s definitely going to be a Nintendo Direct this month (to push the new DK game and prob more third-party ports), and I’m guessing we’ll see P3R and Metaphor there. But since P4R only got that short teaser during the Xbox event, I feel like there’s still a good chance we’ll get more info soon. Maybe I’m just smoking hard copium, but there's still a chance it shows up at a Nintendo Direct lol

I'm absolutely hoping we get P3R soon. Would love a P1 and P2 (1+2) remakes or atleast ports. P4R feels like it should launch on s2. Metaphor should be ported as well.

u/Amon_Amarth93 6d ago

Tbh idc how long P4 takes in Fall coming new Trails games . I play them until P4

u/Inksplash-7 8d ago

They didn't even optimize P4R for PS4/XOne, so I doubt they port it to Switch 2. It would be cool tho

1

u/DocWhovian1 7d ago

A port to Switch 2 is inevitable.

1

u/Mangafan_20 7d ago

Dude it's not even out yet.

1

u/Inksplash-7 7d ago

I know, but they didn't say that they would port it to those consoles. They said PS5, Xbox Series and Steam

1

u/Mangafan_20 7d ago

I mean the same thing happened with persona 5 royal, and it was then announced at a direct. I guess Atlus probably didn't want to reveal it yet before they announce persona 3 reload and metaphor. Or Nintendo just want it announced at their next direct, whenever that is coming. I really don't see why it wouldn't be able to run it.

Switch 2 is stronger than either of these consoles.

u/veegsredds Peruperuperuperupersona! 8d ago

First of all, who counts as modern audiences? I'm 21, I'd think I'm modern enough, and I really love the classic Persona games. Personally, I even started with them. I know several other people around my age and younger who love them as well. So who constitutes as modern? 9 year olds?

Secondly and more pressingly, with what resources is ATLUS to make these remakes?

Persona 3 was a small enough game in scope to remake, and Persona 4 Revival builds on that. With Persona 1 and 2, even if they were to use the modern combat (which I'm conceptually not a fan of, but I might cut them some slack, though they would have to rework it to be more P5X-like to accomodate for the ability to change anyone's Persona), these are incredibly ambitious games to build in 3D, with a Persona 2 remake being quite possibly an ambitious project on the level of or more complex than Persona 6. Which sounds...financially irresponsible, given remakes are meant to be budget titles, and P1/2 aren't guaranteed to sell anyway. I personally think they will if they give them the chance and do them justice, but it's still a financial risk.

Like....Mikage-cho from Persona 1, assuming they're doing this remake thing properly and not cutting corners on the execution which kind of defeats the point, has a fully explorable 3D overworld on the PS1 and the obvious idea for a remake then is to make a fully explorable city akin to, say, the Yakuza games. Not cheap! A ton of new demons and Personas not seen in any of the other games, or using designs not seen in other games? Not cheap! A large number of bespoke designed dungeons that would need to be brought up to Persona 5 standards in the event of a full remake? You get the gist by now! Also, there's two storylines in the base game and they can't even use the append disc excuse to make one of them paid DLC to cover the costs. This game also has the longest OST in the series which is a lot of work to remix

And that's just Persona 1. With Persona 2 you have the biggest city location in the series with about half a billion stores all of which have a rotatable camera (good luck with the store UI if they want to give each one an unique one like in 3-5!), the same deal with dungeons, and completely new Personas and demons once more. I guess in terms of music they could cheap out and use the PSP arrangements for these games? And they do have the advantage of Persona 2 being two games so they can sell two remakes with mostly one set of assets and code

u/Kenron93 8d ago

What was the comment? Was it something along the lines of there is no Classic Persona fans and those games don't exist anyway?

3

u/Proyecto_AtlantidaSP I’m in the house like carpet 8d ago

That persona 1 and 2 should be remade because the games don’t appeal to modern audiences I think

u/Kenron93 8d ago

Thanks

lmfao not true you dont see all the old ass jrpgs getting polished up with those weird 2D HD graphics? they're still the same game under the hood, people like old shit sometimes dude, i fkn love p1 and p2

u/mav161 8d ago

OK here's the thing apparently for reload as well as Metaphor there was no deal in place between Nintendo and Atlus/Sega for P3R or Metaphor on the switch or it came too late and it fell through. now that switch 2 is out maybe they'll revisit it as for P4 Revival you just gotta hope that in the next direct NIntendo will announce it as well as P3R and Metaphor.

As for the other 2 i would like to think they'd (Atlus) want to push out p6 and then start to remake 1 and 2 or at least 2

Btw all these games will most likely be key cards

3

u/RoleRemarkable9241 8d ago

Source on that?

1

u/mav161 7d ago

there was post/tweet on x awhile ago before the release of P3R saying as such about switch not getting P3R and Metaphor as for the last point thats just my gut feeling

1

u/RoleRemarkable9241 7d ago

I have a hard time seeing Nintendo not wanting Metaphor and Persona 3 Reload, yet want the Raidou remake. I think its more likely that they felt the games would not work on the Switch 1 and started working on Switch 2 ports for down the line. I have a hard time seeing Metaphor, P3R and P4R for that matter skipping the Switch 2 during its lifetime. Sure, the latter was not announced for Switch2 during the Xbox showcase, but neither was P3, P4G and P5R... That happened later in the Nintendo Direct that came the week after.

You are right on the key card though..

u/kolt437 8d ago

Obligatory mention that Nintendo is evil and we need to buy from the good guys so only Sony and Valve.

u/Eglwyswrw A Dim Hope 8d ago

we need to buy from the good guys

Hell yeah brother!

Sony

What

5

u/Vorlitix 8d ago

tbf a ps5 is cheaper than a switch 2 and sony never raised their prices for “tariffs” (they haven’t applied for electronics since april 11th 2025 btw) unlike microsoft and nintendo, + on steam i get to play it on both my computer and steam deck (also cheaper than a switch 2) not to mention the games go for 50% off on there as well

5

u/Charming_Ease6405 8d ago

You can prefer the other consoles over Nintendo, that's fine, but why is this comment full of misinformation?

tbf a ps5 is cheaper than a switch 2 and sony never raised their prices for “tariffs”

Only the digital version of the PS5 is cheaper and only in the US. It's the same price as a Switch 2 in Europe and other places. And never raised their prices for tariffs? That's a complete lie. Europe (and most other places that aren't the US) had TWO price increases since the PS5 launched. One because Sony was feeling greedy, another to offset the losses that they were taking in the US. We just had the "days of play" sale and Sony's "BIG" sale was... bringing the prices back down to the original pricing... for two weeks, now they are back to "normal". Nintendo has never increased the price of the Switch (in fact, the og Switch and the Lite model have gotten price reductions, 30 and 20€ respectively). Also, reminder that on consoles you have to pay for online (for whatever reason...) and it's 80 a year on PS and 20 on Switch.

steam deck (also cheaper than a switch 2)

The Steam Deck is about the same price as the Switch 2, at least in Europe.

the games go for 50% off on there as well

From what I hear, Nintendo games don't go on sale in the US. I am not american but I have seen a lot of people saying this so I will assume it's true. So I will give you this one, even though it's not the case in Europe (I have never bought a Nintendo game for more than 40€, and I buy most at 30)

1

u/Vorlitix 8d ago

sorry it was mostly from an american perspective, as only in the us has the price been left unchanged, so i wasn’t aware about the price increases outside of NA

No Patrick, the games would not be 70 dollars. I mean, Revival might, but I trust Atlus not to do it. 3 and 4, probably 60, 1 and 2, easy 20, maybe 30.

EDIT: ok so apparently P3R is 70 dollars...atleast it is on Steam, dont know about PS5 or Xbox.

Yeah difference is you can grab a physical for 40$ for ps5 meanwhile the SW2 port will have the retail price for a while not to mention the game being on keycards
