For a split second I thought that Persona 4: The Golden was being ported and got super excited.

Why no mention of PS4? It is long past time to just retire the decrepit PS3 but if Sony is going to keep it on life support than it shouldn't give the PS3 anything that the PS4 doesn't have as that is counterproductive.

The faster we embrace the PS4, the faster we get games that use technology designed to use lots of low-powered cores instead of 2-4 high-powered ones and that use gigabytes of textures instead of 256 MB.

Probably because Persona 4 is an upgraded PS2 game, and would already be "basic" on PS3 as it is.
Or, like most PS3 fans, the PS4 is Dead To Us if it can't do Blu 3D yet. Cool

That said, I can finally stop waiting for an "upgraded classic" version of P4 to show up on PSNetwork (like P3 did), and can take the old PS2 copy off my Amazon Wish-list. Sweet.

For Christ sake. You're talking about a Persona game from Atlus. It wouldn't be high end on anything. This is simply an emulated port of a PS2 game. A PS2 game that was pretty low budget back then.

Whew, cool to see this isn't an April Fools Day joke. Been loving P3:FES a lot so I'll be sure to get this at some point.

Oh, and the current gen systems haven't excited me enough to get one of my own, especially when there are so many classics I've yet to play

P4 is pretty similar, only with different characters and different plot--
You're still school-simming your friends to go monster-bashing every weeknight, and Elizabeth has now been replaced by Margaret.
(Or, as one game critic called it, "A J-horror Scooby-Doo". Wink )

The P4: Animation series is a pretty straightforward version of the game plot (to a point), so the first few episodes should give you a pretty clear idea of what's new this time around.

Been familiar with most of the plot and characters for a long while now, especially with P4A and Gigidigi's comic. But ever since I started P3F, I had a pretty good feeling this would be a good investment after all.

"The perp...

is PROBABLY in Inaba!" Cool
