It’s time to talk about Persona and many other Atlus’ IP becoming multiplatform games.

It's not impossible we see it on Xbox eventually. I mean if you had told someone at the start of last-gen that a Yakuza game was gonna be timed-exclusive to Xbox and PC at the start of this new generation they would have laughed you out of the room.
Money talks. Doesn't matter if Atlus is "Sony 4 life" or whatever people want to claim. If P4G PC keeps selling like hotcakes daddy Sega will make it happen. If Atlus won't do it than Sega will find someone to port it. This has been pretty much the same story for almost every Japanese series on the PC.
PC definitely has an audience for DRPGs. Plus m/kb for map drawing.
My god, this never crossed my mind :O
Damn I need EO PC ports asap lol
Didn't knew Persona 4 Golden wasn't an Atlus game. And if you mean "in-house", it's not needed.
The game is nearly at 20k CCU. It might reach 25k, if not 30k CCU.

I'm well aware of this. I've written a couple of posts in that thread myself.
Hashino is a toxic person that fortunately isn't working on more Persona games anymore (Still working at Atlus tho).
this thread isn't exclusively about Persona games, but it's also about Atlus and personally I'm excited about the chance to play DDS without having to use my PS3 or an emulator.
Say what you want, but Atlus did bring P4G to PC. Plus they also brought Catherine to switch and that was in-house.
It's not as impossible as some make it out to be. I understand having pessimism when it comes to Atlus. However, it has been changing even if it's been gradual.
If Altus actually cared about PCthey wouldn't just be throwing decade old games on there while the newer stuff stays exclusive and that's not even getting into the fact that this is another exclusive release in the first place. If you're lucky FES may come, but that's probably it.
No one said "they're suddenly on board". But let's be honest and drop the bad faith arguing here.
Last year, people said "Eh, it's just Catherine, never a mainline Persona title is coming".
I agree, it's Persona 4 Golden. It's a 8 years old title. And you're right: It's ATLUS.
Aka the company that didn't release a mainline title outside a Sony console in TWO DECADES.
In fact, P4G isn't even on PS4.
So far, nothing indicate this is a SEGA Europe initiative btw, considering how silent they've been.
And even if Atlus doesn't do it themselves: Let me remind you of Yakuza. RGG Studio didn't care. Heck, they don't even port games themselves.
Guess what ? Yakuza 0 released on Steam. It sold well. It released on Xbox too after that. And the next mainline Yakuza 7 is releasing on every platforms.
Right now, Persona 4 Golden has more than two times the highest peak CCU of Yakuza 0.
Even if Atlus don't do it themselves, after such a success, it's highly possible SEGA doesn't wait for them or push for it.

User Banned (1 Week) - History of trolling & Mod Whining
To the people who felt somewhat insulted by the thread title let me tell you that this is a jab at the mod who banned me for three days for joking about P5R on switch and at the people who get mad at me every time I write that. 🤣
I'd also like to formally request an apology from said mod. You don't have to do it publicly, I accept an apology through PM that's how classy I am.

And my wish is that all PS2 era Atlus games are made available on Steam in the near future.
I don't see it happening, but we'll see. You're free to have hope.

so can we put to rest this "Not Atlus themselves" bs argument now too?
Persona 4 not releasing on other platform today is by far the biggest BS I have seen.
Good for PC gamers but really sucks for ps4 users who were looking forward in playing this
OP

Dunno. Persona 5 Royal or 13 sentinels Aegis Rim not releasing elsewhere sound as big as BS.
I didn't see Persona happening either last year.
Well... Here we are.
Any other publisher would have taken this opportunity to bring it to all the major platforms. With Atlus there's always this weird catch.
Their 3DS catalogue is way harder to port because of the dual screens.
So we may get P5 multiplat and... 13 Sentinels? maybe.
It does seem like SEGA Europe might be involved from what's said here, even if it's not just them:
In any case, totally agree with your post, I don't get people downplaying the importance of this game getting a PC port. Catherine was multiplatform release, it had an Xbox 360 port initially, but Persona mainline games were basically PlayStation exclusives, and P4G was a game many wanted ported to modern platforms. Of course that doesn't mean P5R is about to come to PC, but if this does well, and it seems is doing very well, why wouldn't they port other games?
The sad truth. Better to keep my expectations in check than to hope for Digital Devil Saga or something crazy like that.
It's most likely coming to PS4, perhaps even with some extras over the PC version.
Atlus seem unable to even port there games to modern consoles, just look persona franchise as a whole.
P1 - Only available on PS1 and PSP
P2 IS and EP: Only Available on PS1 and PSP
P3: Versions are either locked to PS2, PS3, or PSP but no definitive version. No PS4, Switch, Xbox, or PC version.
P4/Golden: Came to PS2 2 years after PS3 release, Only available on PS2, VITA, PS3, and now PC. No Console release
P5: Only on PS3 and PS4, Royale only on PS4. No other versions.
P5 Scramble no Western release, Joker in Smash despite P5 not actually being yet on switch, P Q2 only on 3DS ???
The platform choices for each game and lack of modern updates is bizarre. At least with PC releases hopefully for all games we can have them permanently on one platform, but overall it's just terrible these great games being locked to older consoles or handhelds.

I know, which is why I'm more optimistic about the Switch side.
Talking only about PC here.
Every frikkin port of a Japanese game is a team effort. How else is it gonna work without the Japanese dev teamproviding their code so that they can actually port it??
Yeah, PC will be a while, though the topic itself is multiplatform so even having Atlus JP do PS4/Switch in future is noteworthy and might open the way up for other multiplatform releases including PC (maybe)
Imagine how other platform users felt before this.......
Anyways I imagine they will port it to other platforms as well in due time. The success of P4G on PC can be a good thing for everyone as it give Atlus more of a reason to go multiplatform.
