Catherine: Full Body Announced for the PS4 and PS Vita [Updated]
- Thread starter Minako
- Start date
Nobody is upset at having more options. People are just wondering why they left out the Switch in particular (plus PC and Xbox One) to include the Vita instead. Seems like a really weird choice. Nobody would bat an eye if it was on the other platforms PLUS the Vita.
Atlus are just bizarre like that. They seem to hate the idea of getting more money and more fans experiencing their products.
Because that's where Atlus decided to put the game at. End of story. Doesn't need to be some grand conspiracy or anything. Just like Switch is getting SMT V exclusively. No one is up in arms about that.
I only need my curly haired blonde catherine and no new pink haired one >>
but seriously, looking forward to it.
but seriously, looking forward to it.
Given it's Atlus I'm not surprised at all. They've never been receptive to PC as far as I know. Give them time and I'm sure they'll put everything on the Switch, it's still early days.
Yes but this is a remake with new content. It's definitely expected to see a Japanese developer give the Xbox the boot but it still kind of sucks I guess
I could rip on the Vita and call it a garbage ass handheld until the cows come home but the fact remains: people in Japan like that thing I guess
Square does it too. All their major games are only on Sony platforms. X1 gets some stuff. And Nintendo just gets spinoffs and offshoots. It's not weird. It's brand loyalty and console preference with the same audience.
Makes sense from a business standpoint because people buy consoles for exclusives alongside audiences who are already part of that audience so it makes the most sales by being on one platform since the entire audience is there.
Most games are not going to come to Switch or X1. It's time people just deal with that.
Someone mentioned it might be using the Persona 5 engine, if that's the case then it's just easier to make it for PS4 than any other platform.
And given the way PS4 and Vita were designed (so it's not too complex to port from one to another), Vita probably was the 2nd easier (considering they had to port the engine) so that might be a reason
I think it's more that people don't understand why there's a Vita version rather than being upset over it.
Never said it was a conspiracy, lol. Just wondering why they would skip a hugely popular hybrid console (Switch) and skip a console family where the game is already playable to begin with (Xbox 360 + Xbox One). As said, it's their choice of course, they can do whatever they want, but it is leaving money on the table.
Every topic where psvita is mentioned people will react with:"where is my goddamn switch version". It's amazing really.
Lol, this was my immediate thought too. Kathryn's not a bad guess.
More like every topic a platform is mentioned.
And I was all set to get it on the PS4, and the Vita release had to throw a spanner in the works.
I guess the only solution is...both?

That's the one that always manages to creep behind them and bite them in the neck.
It fits! :D
Atlus has a history of supporting it. I assume porting it over isn't a huge task for them. Also light puzzler/visual novel is the kind of stuff Vita owners eat up.
There are people in Japan, or anywhere in the world really, who dress and act in a certain fashion explicitly to stick out. In Japan specifically there are many gyaru subsets of fashion, one of which Kogyaru is all about dressing like a High-School girl even into young Adult years after HS.
Warning: Port begging
Meanwhile they're losing the perfect opportunity to bring this stuff over to PC natively due to RPCS3 like Sega screwed up by taking too long to bring Bayonetta over. Now we'll have access to Dragon's Crown, Persona 5 and Catherine and they won't see a damn cent from the overwhelming majority of people playing it on there.
They're making money, cool, but they're not making enough as they would otherwise. Atlus is really missing out.
yeah if it's going to take that long you're right. i think i'll give it a few days and see if anymore info drips out.
So hyped for this. I never did beat the original game. Made it through three dungeons iirc then other things got in the way. It seemed like a really special game based on what I did play.
No but I'm noting that current this is entirely a Japanese announcement.
They wouldn't mention an Xbox 1 version until they announced the localisation if there was going to be one
This is what I don't understand about Switch portbeggars. Persona 5 is the same exact deal as SMTV yet you don't see people portbegging for SMTV since it's an exclusive, yet I see every damn thing related to P5 online "Switch?" despite it also being an exclusive?
How's that for hypocritical.
I think I've this game on my PS3, but as my PS3 is dead, this will do too. Also, new content, so I can double-dip without feeling bad
