Atlus Launches Persona Teaser Site

Yesterday Atlus launched a mysterious teaser site featuring only the above logo. The colors, font choice, and foreshortening effect all conjure up memories of Persona 4.  It doesn’t even seem like Atlus really wants to cover up this fact.  That could be because (assuming this teaser is in fact for Persona 4) the big question remains: what system?

Look familiar?  Oh, but the case is capitalized…

Here are the obvious theories, all of which are completely based on personal opinions and nothing else:

  • Persona 4 PSP port: While totally possible this seems late in the game considering Vita on the horizon.  P3P rocked my world, but it doesn’t seem like Atlus to give both games the same treatment with all the more advanced hardware out there.
  • Persona 4 Vita port: NIS has announced a port of Disgaea 3, so perhaps Atlus is following suit.  The processing power and graphics capabilities of the Vita could definitely handle a straight port, possibly with some decent enhancements or new features.  I can has female MC option? With Tokyo Game Show on the horizon, this seems like the kind of game that would attract some attention…
  • Persona 4 HD for PS3: Definitely a possibility.  Slap some trophies on there, plus some FES-ish features and I am confident most fans would be willing to double dip.  But something tells me the game is destined for the portable world…
  • Persona 4 3DS port: This is certainly the wild card of the bunch, but it’s not altogether impossible.  Imagine Persona 4‘s stylized interface coming at you in stereoscopic 3D…  And while the Persona series has been faithful to Sony, Atlus has proven they aren’t afraid to get into bed with Nintendo with the Devil Survivor franchise.

So there you have it.  All the most realistic possibilities under the assumption that this teaser site is in fact for a Persona 4 port.  Personally I would be up for any of these options, I just want to know what Atlus has in store for us in terms of enhancements for the port.  As polished as Persona 4 was, it’s hard to imagine where they can improve it.  Expect more information as we get closer to Tokyo Game Show!

    You forget the upcoming anime that will premier this fall. It could be an announcement regarding that such as it being licensed for the US. We'll have to wait and see. If there were any game I'd hope for a PS3 upgrade, it would be an ultimate edition for P3. It would include female MC, the Answer, and the classic play style where yo see your character and move around or the P3P style where you point-and-click. Basically, it would have everything.

    Since Atlus isn't really involved directly with the animation,
    it's safe to assume this is a game-related announcement.
