Atlus has announced the team behind the Persona series will be creating the first HD instalment of the series on both PS3 and Xbox 360 – but as always with Atlus, there is a catch…
The catch in this case is that Catherine is not an RPG, and it is most certainly not the long awaited Persona 5 – it is described instead as a horror-themed “action adventure.”
The developers explain that they are preparing for a future HD Persona title by developing Catherine first (now said to be 80% done), a wise strategy were it not so pathetically belated.
More promisingly, the developers are keen to emphasise that this is an “adult” title which has plenty of erotic elements – backwards Japanese attitudes to sexual content in mainstream games probably preclude anything more risqué than that already seen in previous instalments however.
The story revolves around protagonist 32-year-old Vincent (Koichi Yamadera) and 22-year-old heroine Catherine (Miyuki Sawashiro) as they unravel the secret of the “nightmare,” where all the action takes place – much as in the previous games.
Vincent is apparently confirmed as having had an earlier appearance in P3P:
Persona fans can be forgiven for wondering at the continuing refusal of Atlus to place this flagship RPG on a modern platform – the PS3 is not getting any younger, and if they approach a simple PS3/360 title with this much trepidation, just what they will do when the next generation comes around is a matter of some doubt.
sorry, but it looks s♥♥t, im disappointed in atlus, never again am i waiting for something from the persona series.
*change’s voice to Travis Touchdown
can’t fucking wait….
on topic love the art style not to mention the girl looks sexy as hell 🙂
Hell fuckin’ yeah ATLUS !
ve’ been waiting for this to come !
Eh, peeps can stop whining about Persona 5. Have they already forgotten how big the gap was between Persona 2 on the PS1 and Persona 3? It was 6 years. It’s only been 2 years since Persona 4 (and it was only 2 years between 4 and 3, not even including FES) so there’s no reason to start stressing out yet. And anyway, this sounds interesting- after all, do we REALLY want ANOTHER high school-sim RPG so soon when the Persona team seem to have a fresh idea they want to explore?
How about a college-sim! Main character as a young prodigy professor, even. The subject you teach affects which ultimate persona you can create.
There could be an alignment system for the MC along the lines of chaotic, lawful +good and evil.
Or not. I have a feeling that Atlus will be very ambitious when creating P5.
*add neutral to the alignment sys. Forgot
For real. People even seemed to forget P3 ever came out for a while when P4 came out. Now everyone’s all over 3 and 4 and only expecting 5.
always up for some new games from atlus.
