Everyone expected Persona 5 to be big. It has gotten rave reviews from critics and the average gamer alike, but the Persona series up until this point has still been sort of a niche title. JRPGs generally don’t do as well in the west, but it seems that Persona 5 is a big exception. Reports say that the game has shipped more than 1.5 million units in just 3 days, a pretty huge success for developer Atlus.
This success is especially surprising given sales numbers for Persona 4 back in 2008 which shipped 110k in North America and 300k in Japan in its first YEAR. That means that sales of Persona 5 in just 3 days are almost 10 times that of what Persona 4 shipped in an entire year. This title seemed to be more hyped than Persona 4, and I think the series has picked up a bunch of fans since that title’s release almost 10 years ago.
Reviews for Persona 5 praise the game across the board, leading one to think that maybe it’s just a better game than Persona 4 was. The scope of the game is definitely much bigger and the RPG affords players much more freedom than in previous titles. Maybe this change in design appeals far more to Western audiences than Persona 4 did, who knows? There’s no real word on why exactly the sales figures are so huge, but it’s definitely clear that the world loves Persona 5. The title is undoubtedly a big win for Atlus.
The latest trailer for Sony Pictures Entertainment’s CGI film Resident Evil: Death Island, released July 25, features the outlandish action and melodrama that made the franchise a cult sensation.
This Resident Evil Avengers-esque team-up features Leon S. Kennedy, Jill Valentine, Chris Redfield, Claire Redfield, and Rebecca Chambers.
The T-Virus and killer whales take the gang to Alcatraz in San Francisco Bay, where a new nightmare awaits. In magnificent slow motion and with progressively heavier ordinance, the Dream Team will supposedly destroy zombies, Lickers, mutant orcas, and anything else foolish or nasty enough to stand in their path.
In a horrific new video, Dr. Fetus’ Mean Meat Machine is coming to PS4 and PS4 on June 22. Expect agony and tight gameplay from independent wizards Team Meat, well known for their pioneering, tough-as-ham platformer Super Meat Boy.
This “mean meat machine” reimagines your grandpa’s old black-and-white puzzle games for a younger, hipper, more bloodthirsty audience. We’re delighted the wait won’t be long for this one.
Super Meat Boy fan? Team Meat?
Diablo 4’s post-launch support will keep you playing for years, according to Blizzard. General manager Rod Fergusson confirmed two expansions and free content updates.
“As I sit here, we’re about to launch the main game; we’re finishing up season one; we’re working on season two; we’re working on expansion one; we’re kicking off expansion two,” he told PC Gamer on the Kinda Funny Xcast. These two DLCs may release sooner than expected. Fergusson says the live service model lets Blizzard release content faster than Diablo III.
With tens of hours of content in the base game, Diablo 4 is massive. This could be Destiny 2 or Genshin Impact, with seasons and DLC. That thought excites or frightens you. Leave a comment and check out our Diablo 4 guide for help with the PS5 and PS4 games.
