Opening Movie
Persona 3 Reload isn't a remake with a few alterations here and there; it's a sincerely thought-through updated game that can seemingly stand on its own two legs in the competitive Persona lineup.
Our final preview: https://bit.ly/3TU5rmP
Persona 3 Reload builds on the original's fine foundations, even if may fall just short of a truly definitive edition. Our hands-on preview: https://www.eurogamer.net/persona-3...dations-but-may-fall-just-short-of-definitive
Seems like the tired mechanic is gone.
Not sure what to think of this. I guess it's not a complete reimagination like FF7R is, but more divergent than expected.
Edit:
I’ve only seen trailers, but what about it seems flat and dull?I may be totally out of line saying this, but I have no idea why this isn't on Switch considering graphically it looks like a huge step back from P5R. This is one of the flattest and dull looking presentation they could have gone for.
All the background details seem so minimal, low poly, and flat in regards to lighting, effects, shadows, whatever. The whole thing just seems very low spec. I even checked the PC specs because I may check it out on PC gamepass (I only have a gtx 1060) and the recommended specs are an i7-4790 and a gtx1650, and the minimum specs being i5-2300 and a gtx 650ti.I’ve only seen trailers, but what about it seems flat and dull?
Yeah, it is a common criticism of FeMC and her fans being pedos. I enjoyed the FeMC route for the much improved Social links and her personality.Some asshole emailed me that I was a “pedophile in waiting” for not picking up this game because I preferred the female main character. Since this is the only place where I’ve talked about the game, I hope you reading this and know that I am definitely not picking up this game now.
Through searching. I got rid of the most obvious ways my name is associated with my account but you can find it if you dig hard enough.How does someone have your email address?
It's a dumb one as well. Most FeMC fans want to change Ken's SL or at least get rid of the romance route. But no, just accuse them of pedophilia. Because it isn't like there isn't another problematic relationship for the male route that never gets mentioned amongst accuasations...Yeah, it is a common criticism of FeMC and her fans being pedos.

Since we began to conceptualize everything that would come in Persona 3 Reload we decided that there would be no version for the nintendo switch. Of course the idea is there, but it's a matter of discussing it with the team and seeing what they think about it and we'll see what happens.”, the P-Studio managers responded to us.
that is a truly terrible articleI saw this article circulating online (never seen the site before) , but they asked Atlus about a switch version of P3R.

What, you mean you don't trustthat is a truly terrible article
Ikr. I thought maybe it was my pc or my visionthat is a truly terrible article
Assuming it’s a trustworthy quote, yeah, they’re gonna port the eventual enhanced portI saw this article circulating online (never seen the site before) , but they asked Atlus about a switch version of P3R.

I've said this before. They probably ruled out Switch because they already have Switch 2 dev kits and it's not worth the effort to downport it to Switch 1.but why did they rule out the switch version explain dammit
Presumably because they don’t want to deal with getting it running properly on Switchbut why did they rule out the switch version explain dammit

so ignore the 130+ mil base in favor of the not 130+ mil base.Presumably because they don’t want to deal with getting it running properly on Switch
Some poster on Era (whom I don’t personally know much about but that site treats as a vetted insider) said it was passed over in favor of a Switch 2 port
Perhaps Switch 1 would have been too much work compared to the 2?so ignore the 130+ mil base in favor of the not 130+ mil base.
Now I kinda expected that line of thinking in all honesty. Do you have any source or link for that? Haven't stepped a foot onto that site for a long time and would be interesting to see. If not it's whatever though.Some poster on Era (whom I don’t personally know much about but that site treats as a vetted insider) said it was passed over in favor of a Switch 2 port
It’s not just about install base, it’s also about projected resources necessary to get the game running on a much lower power profile and hardware spec. If they decided it was more than they were comfortable with, then it would make sense to jump ahead to the successor.so ignore the 130+ mil base in favor of the not 130+ mil base.
Not sure if this is against the rules (please let me know if so and I’ll remove it): https://www.resetera.com/goto/post?id=117961689Now I kinda expected that line of thinking in all honesty.

they worked on the switch before it's not like its something unknown to them. and like it's a ps2 game being remade here unless there's a expansive open world or a shitload of raytracing that im missing here.Perhaps Switch 1 would have been too much work compared to the 2?
the switch isnt gonna disappear when the succ launches. plus they are releasing p3r on the xbone and ps4 in 2024 so the whole idea of not releasing on older consoles is moot.It’s not just about install base, it’s also about projected resources necessary to get the game running on a much lower power profile and hardware spec.

Prioritizing the successor of the bestselling system of the last two decades isn’t really a poor move or anything lol

The Xbox One and PS4 are a whole generation more capable than Switch. And I never indicated the Switch is disappearing when the successor is around either? My entire point is that if they decided that accommodating the Switch’s hardware would be more time and money than they were comfortable allocating to the project, then it would make sense to skip it, all other factors notwithstanding. Nothing you said really counters or even addresses what I said lolthe switch isnt gonna disappear when the succ launches. plus they are releasing p3r on the xbone and ps4 in 2024 so the whole idea of not releasing on older consoles is moot.
I'll take that info with a grain of salt, but I wouldn't be surprised if that was accurate. True, by skipping the Switch they are missing out on a large userbase, but they probably figured that can be balanced out by being one of the first Switch 2 RPGs available around launch similar to Disgaea 5 Complete and XC2.Presumably because they don’t want to deal with getting it running properly on Switch

it's a remake of a ps2 turn based rpg i want to know exactly what requires the power of the switch 2. and hell they aren't really even leaving the switch version off the table here either because that 130+ base is too alluring.The Xbox One and PS4 are a whole generation more capable than Switch.

I'm of the mind that if P3R was coming to Switch, it would've been announced and launching alongside the other systems two weeks from now, but it isn't. This tells me Switch was never in the planning because a) they just made a goof and willfully chose to ignore the 130+ install base, or b) they are already on board with Switch 2 and would rather just put the work into making the game for Switch 2.it's a remake of a ps2 turn based rpg i want to know exactly what requires the power of the switch 2. and hell they aren't really even leaving the switch version off the table here either because that 130+ base is too alluring.
the switch 1 was a clean slate the switch 2 will have bc so trying to be the first rpg is...pointless. we're already flooded by rpgs lolI'll take that info with a grain of salt, but I wouldn't be surprised if that was accurate.

Okay, again -it's a remake of a ps2 turn based rpg i want to know exactly what requires the power of the switch 2. and hell they aren't really even leaving the switch version off the table here either because that 130+ base is too alluring.
Yeah, not sure how true the info is, but if it is, nothing about it sounds particularly egregious in terms of decision making, certainly not compared to Sega’s usual shenanigansI'll take that info with a grain of salt, but I wouldn't be surprised if that was accurate.

Eh. Lower tier Japanese games and indies (plus some Nintendo games) will keep the Switch alive for years to come. Even Wii U and 3DS got indie and Japanese releases long after everyone else moved onSilly question, they'd never reveal anything about the Switch version if it exists. Direct reveal means Nintendo NDA.
But if, by any chance, they're planning to skip Switch in favor of the successor version, an instantaneous death for Switch is awaiting us. Like Crap loads of games got PS4 version to keep it alive for years but for Switch, it'll be pronounced dead before the successor releases. Pretty depressing to think about.
I’ve explained this in an above post, it’s coming down to their choice of enginesP3R and P5R have basically the same system requirements for PC so then it would probably be the same amount of effort/time/money to port it and yet they decided not to. For some reason they thought a 3 year late port of an upgraded version of a 6 year old game was worth it while a brand new remake (that's effectively a brand new game for most people) wasn't. I'm just not buying all of these excuses people are making for them, the fact is Atlus simply don't want to port it to Switch for whatever reason and people are allowed to be cross with that.
Nah, expect Falcom and NIS to ditch Switch faster than Sega or Namco, the two expected last remaining supporters. Bigger indie titles, especially from the likes of Annapurna, Devolver, Team17 have already skipping Switch all that's left will be mostly shovelware stuff. And yes, that's a dead console.Eh. Lower tier Japanese games and indies (plus some Nintendo games) will keep the Switch alive for years to come. Even Wii U and 3DS got indie and Japanese releases long after everyone else moved on
It's pointless to us and other video game forum users, but the only thing the general consumer would see is this new, possibly expanded port, of Persona 3 Reload that got great reviews on the PS5 and XBX is now available as a launch title for the brand new Switch 2.the switch 1 was a clean slate the switch 2 will have bc so trying to be the first rpg is...pointless. we're already flooded by rpgs lol
smtv was like their first game on the system and was way more ambitious than p5r which p3r seems to be on par with. and if this thing winds up having bc then that shoots down the whole idea of being among the first major releases on the system. that strat worked for the switch 1 because there was barely any competition but here there's a wealth of options both via bc and potential ports. and if the launch period is as crowded as I expect it to be it's gonna get overshadowed (never mind the 70 dollar late port with the other versions being like 20 by then...) this is walking straight towards an underperformance if it's just switch 2 but hey if the bean counters that signed off on soul hackers 2 said it's okay I guess it's okay.Okay, again -
They’re using Unreal Engine 4, they’re obviously not good at optimizing third party engines for hardware (SMTV barely holds a framerate on Switch, and while Soul Hackers 2 uses Unity, it barely runs on Xbox One). Obviously the Switch would be able to run this game if time and money was spent on getting it to run, far more technically demanding games have been made to work on Switch after all. However, if they decided they DON’T want to spend, or have, the resources and time necessary to get that happening (especially with their limited skill set), falling back to Switch 2 which can brute force through their inefficiencies makes sound business sense. Yes, you miss on the Switch’s install base, but conversely, as pointed out above, you get the benefit of being a major release in the early days of a successful system’s life where people are more willing to double dip on games they already own/try out games they otherwise wouldn’t/more marketing attention/etc
It’s not just as simple as “Switch has 130 million units sold, it can’t be ignored”
Yeah, not sure how true the info is, but if it is, nothing about it sounds particularly egregious in terms of decision making, certainly not compared to Sega’s usual shenanigans
