But I feel like I got my $60 worth out of my PS4 copy. I dunno, maybe I'm being a bootlicker here.
60fps would be nice, but it's not the kind of game where you really notice unless you're extremely sensitive to lower fps (in which case, you're probably buying on PC anyway).
But through backwards-compatibility, you can already play P5 in 4k/HDR. I get how this is a bummer for owners of the PS4 version (myself included). Microsoft wants this game to help sell game pass, which it wouldn't if you could own it for the same price as 3 months of game pass (with no lasting ownership).
So a $10 upgrade path would let you get it for ~$30, or half the price of other versions. Persona 5 Royal Deluxe Edition is on sale in NA right now for $20.99. They want parity in pricing, apart from Game Pass where they're obviously getting paid a ton for licensing. Why wait for a better version of Persona 6 (like Golden or Royal) when we could just wait for a PS6 version to get the best versionĪtlus is releasing the PS5 version at the same time as the Xbox, PC, and Switch releases. This way of doing business puts me off Persona 6. They know PlayStation has the fans for it, so they expect to squeeze us for as much as they can get. Now they want us to pay for a PS5 upgrade which we won't get a big benefit from. Instead we had to buy the game again to get them.
Was bad enough doing it for Royal which could have easily been done as a DLC or expansion and the game could have had been updated for a restructure if needed to support it. That sounds like it's a SEGA thing rather than Atlus. Making the games multiplftrom to expand the audience for more money and now charging PlayStation fans for another upgrade. It feels to me if Atlus wanted this, they would have done it long ago but just like other big publishers, it's the developers that get the blame. It feels to me that SEGA is getting greedy lately and looking to squeeze us for more money for nothing.
Running at a better frame rate and apparently bundled with all of the previously released DLC, sure, but I don't think that's enough to justify a potential third purchase - a third purchase that, knowing Atlus (and SEGA), is probably going to be full retail price, or close to it. Royal's such an improvement that it basically makes the original Persona 5 redundant - and a lot of fans were willing to pay up for the work that Atlus had put in to make an already excellent RPG even better.īut here we are in 2022 and that same company is asking fans to pay up again - and this time, it's for the same game.
But the initial release of Royal in 2019 was a lot easier to swallow because of its many enhancements. Persona 5 Royal is itself a re-release of Persona 5 - and that didn't have an upgrade path either. Persona 5 Royal presents a unique visual style and award nominated composer Shoji Meguro returns with an all-new soundtrack.News broke this week that Persona 5 Royal won't offer any kind of upgrade path for those who already own the game on PS4, but want to grab the shiny new PS5 version that's set to launch on the 21st October.
