Xbox Is Now The Best Way To Play Persona 3 And Persona 4 On Console

The best way to play is handheld for portability (for persona games) especially with the graphics of these two.

Id recommend people to get these on switch or play via xcloud on mobile instead.

Makes sense. I’ll be giving P4G some time this evening.

So far, I've only started Persona 3 on Series X. With the way the gameplay is, I couldn't tell it's running at 120fps. I'd prefer to play these games in handheld mode on Switch, but with no physical release, the Game Pass versions will do.

@Banjo- if it was the other way around you'd be crying saying Sony must have paid the devs to get a better version 🤣

@Banjo- Playstation gamers will probably get the next gen port for PS5 in the future, it's the same situation when Microsoft bought the next gen exclusivity for Yakuza 7 on xbox. These games are available for purchase on playstation consoles as well and will probably be free on plus plus in the future.

@Would_you_kindly Right. It's clear that Xbox did this. I mean...business is business and it's a great marketing tactic to convince folks that Xbox has the best version of Persona. Pretty ballsy of Xbox to do that given the franchise's history with Playstation. At least Xbox gamers can enjoy mainline Persona games now. That's a win for everyone.

@Banjo- I think it's fair that we get the next gen port and ps players don't because they've been enjoying all the persona games for 20 years and we only get to enjoy them now in 2023. They also got collector's editions, special editions and physical versions of persona games while we only get digital version 20 years later.

@UltimateOtaku91 We have a winner!

Having played both of these in the past, I'm not really excited for this, but I'm glad my Xbox friends can see what made these games special - even today.

@Rafie I don't know if Microsoft actually did pay the devs to make the 'next gen' version (let's be honest there's not much of a differen lol) exclusive to Xbox but if they did its very hypocritical of some users on this site not to call them out on it because you know they'd crucify Sony under the same circumstances 😂

@Would_you_kindly 1080 / 60 FPS vs 4K / 120 FPS is a pretty big difference. Especially the resolution bump.

@HaloIsBest Yes of course and I'm the first one complaining about some games taking years to come to Xbox.

@Would_you_kindly No, that's what you and the other PS fanboys say about every game joining Game Pass, that Microsoft paid for excluding PS instead of just for joining Game Pass. I only admit true facts, not rumours. E.g., Sony paying for Final Fantasy VIi Remake, Final Fantasy XVI and Forspoken to skip Xbox almost indefinitely versus PS fanboys claiming on every thread that Microsoft paid for native Series X|S versions and for skipping a PS5 native version. Lies. The logical way on Xbox is making native versions because it's the same development kit and OS but PS fanboys need something to criticise about Xbox since PS is moneyhatting developers all the time: Square Enix, Activision, etc. I only commented because those people are the first to comment and make anything positive about Xbox look something negative, spending more time commenting about Xbox in negative ways than the real Xbox users but it's always the same story.

Yea whilst this is perhaps “unfair” for PS users - I don’t actually think this is Xbox’s doing. I think it’s just the way their system works. You can even see it in achievements or in retail releases where Xbox One and Xbox Series releases are one retail sku and one achievement list (most of the time, not all the time). On PS it’s different and they each get a trophy list. Think it’s just the way Xbox releases work. In this case Xbox users benefit slightly but 🤷‍♂️

Why is this even a thing?
No surprise to see the Sony fanboys being all salty about this though and throwing around unfunded allegations 😅. Perhaps they should lobby Sony for an equivalent to Smart Delivery, but yeah, that would be to much of a tall order for blinkered individuals...

@Banjo- “I only commented because those people are the first to comment and make anything positive about Xbox look negative”……you were the fourth person to comment on this and the first to bring up Sony. You are literally the one starting these petty arguments. 🤡

Does 120 fps really matter for a game like this.

@UltimateOtaku91 or Steam Deck!

The best way to play is a PS2 and crt tv.

If Sony done this all the Xbox fanboys on here would be moaning like hell, its amazing how hypocritical the Xbox community is. Irony is of course the PS4 and Switch versions will properly greatly sell better and make more money for Atlus then made from the Gamepass deal, checking the comments elsewhere and from the Xbox store its clear Xbox users aren't that interested.

@Banjo- MS forbid Atlus announcing PS versions until the next day after the reveal, they also forbid pre-orders on PS and they forbid midnight release on PS as well. Its very clear the deal involved native Series versions with 4K120fps as Xbox exclusive, its pretty easy making a PS5 version as every other Dev can do it with no hassle so it doesn't take a genius to see MS are behind this move. Sure though double standards something very popular with MS, Phil Spencer and the Xbox community.

I think it's best to play persona 3 and 4 on portables sistem like switch or steam deck, while persona 5 is best played on big tv since it's developed for console.

On Xbox one it has an annoying input delay.
