Hard News 08/31/11 (Persona announcements, Take Two problems, Bayonetta rumors)

[MrWazzup345]

awesome persona 4 is coming to the playstation vita. i need one right now

[FoxeoGames]

At what point did it ever seem like a good idea to turn an RPG into a 2D fighting game?

[dyldragon1]

@FoxeoGames It worked well with Final Fantasy :)

[asendimchev1996]

The host reminds me of the protagonist from Cloudy with a chance of meatballs .

[revenger1221]

. . .This is why I would only work for Bungie.

[123kats]

Don't forget about the US release of Persona 2 :m It's out in 11 days

[TheMysteryOvenThing]

Who else was watching sonic 2 in the background? XD

[howlbigbadwolf]

With the way DMC is looking, People will be Crying for a Bayonetta 2, and will buy it before they ever touch DMC IMO.

[DanielL5583]

...SONY'S GETTING MY MONEY FOR VITA NOW!!

[Patsterthehedgehog]

Bayonetta sure gives me hard news.

[kellykernaghan]

(_)_)=================D

random cock!

[humanice2]

I wouldn't give a flying fuck about getting less money if I was paid to play and test games.. and I know it get's tired after a while but most other jobs are like that too.

[WilHiteWarrior]

Employers respect employees? HAHAHA! Classic, Jared!

[BansheeHallow]

I don't care about Persona that much, but I heard "Fighting game from the creators of BlazBlue" and that's pretty much awesome.

[xaqua93x]

Well they also said that persona 5 is in development, at least they're not trolling us like Kingdom Hearts

[LunaCheri]

finally!!! i thought that everyone forgot about persona 4 : 3

[wbarfield2]

Bayonetta 2 would be nice. She bout as good as Dante too be honest.

[rampage222555]

forgot to mention Persona anime coming out in a few weeks. get my hopes up for nothing, these game dev bosses are so cruel!

[OGKUSHI]

Oh man, I'm kinda happy there is no Bayonetta coming, There are WAAAY too much games this and next year that I have to get: Battlefield 3 Assassin's Creed Revelation Halo CE Anniversary MW3 Batman Arkham City Ninja Gaiden 3 Halo 4 Diablo 3 Torchlight 2 Streetfighter X Tekken and many many more ...

[XscarmetalbeybladeX1]

@OGKUSHI true

[XscarmetalbeybladeX1]

@OGKUSHI and fifa 12

[Vheeri]

@OGKUSHI speak for yourself. I wish there was a B2. With 10% more pole dancing.

[Victor7Wolf]

@OGKUSHI ...Way too many games like Bayonetta? And you come to me saying we'll be getting Battlefield 3 and MW3? You DO know this era of videogames will be forever known as the FPS era, don't you?

Dude, give me a game like Bayonetta everyday over ANOTHER FPS.

What i'm impacient for is Persona 5... But yeah Atlus, go wild on those remakes. I can wait.

[pedobear0019]

the comments have slowed to 1 per hour so its my time to shine:

a turtle can breath out it's ass. the closest blue star to earth is alpha centori and it is 60 trillion lightyears away. assuming you start watching from the time you are born, you wouldnt have time to watch every youtube video to date. the average human head weighs 8 pounds. 70% of the world's

[pedobear0019]

@pedobear0019

(i wasnt done)...70% of the world's population is asian while 50% of the world's money belongs to the top 20 richest americans. people claim to have seen a mako shark swim over 60mph. english is the most widely spoken language while manderine(chinese) is spoken by the most people. 33.3% of the world is christian. a female pig's orgasm can last 45 minuites or more.

[pedobear0019]

@pedobear0019

more?

the english language has gotten rid of 3,500 words in the last 100 years. the word "powned" came from a russian chess player trying to say "pawned." studies show that masterbation can help with restless leg syndrome. when you orgasm, your body produces morphene, otherwise, it would be EXTREMELY painful.

[pedobear0019]

@pedobear0019

even more!?

NASA created an experimental jet fighter that travels mach 10 (approx. 6950mph), the same speed Santa goes when he has to circle the earth in one night! from space, earth looks kind of like a pear. thinking of a threesome can up pain tolerence. humans are the only animals to drink another's milk. an albatross can sleep while flying. the cake in minecraft was actually meant to be a portal reference to "the cake is a lie."

[pedobear0019]

@pedobear0019

one more.

tis string of comments was done without any previous study but it is all true. if you read all of them, you probably learned a thing or two. knowledge is power. if you read all of this you are awesome.

[1ray2ray1]

@pedobear0019 MOARR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SirMindfuck]

Check out ScrewAttack, they have 2 of the same Hard News episodes with different titles!

[yichl]

A game by Arcsys?

MUST HAVE!

[LRIIDynasty]

the TMNT game in the background was the best TMNT game :/

[cplass519]

Is it just me or is the quality in hardnews look bad?

[MoGaDeX]

COTTON CANDY? WHERE?!?!

[superbeefus]

WTF is persona? Never heard of it. Ever.

[Dtthedestroyer1]

@superbeefus its a spinoff of shin megami tensei where you play a mute protagonist in japan who moves to a new high school,meets various (yet entertaining) high school anime cliches,and discovers mysterious events ocurring from demons called shadows....in other words its a jrpg

[commandervulkan]

And I'm now getting a Play Station Vita 

[TKnHappyNess]

If that lawsuit against Take 2 is real, they'll just send someone to kill the person GTA style

[786moazzam]

PS3 is shit

[TheDarkharveststudio]

i aint playing a persona game ever since i saw pandora......grossest....final boss......ever......0_o

[EuroGamer360]

Now I finally want a PlayStation Vita

[CFkimahri]

PERSONA!!!! *shoots self in the head*

[ATKrobby]

I never realized it until a read these comments but people actually liked devil may.....errr i mean bayonetta .

[fossilfern]

BAYONETTA2!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[erdvilla]

Mmm... I was getting excited (emotionally, not the other way) when I saw Bayonetta 2.... and now I'm sad XD I really enjoyed Bayonetta and the fact that a sequel could be made was awesome.

[Machintoshhater]

ArcSys and ATLUS making a 2D fighting game...

This is a proof god loves Persona and BlazBlue equally.

[hardysforever]

DAMMIT Now I need a PSVita.

[sasukegir66]

i saw this on there new website ^.^

[kyedaman]

Aw man, I was getting all excited. My PS2 broke a few days after I got Persona 4 and I never got to play it again. I always had hope that it'd be remade on PSP.....but it's coming on the PSVita :<

[shagoosty]

Wait...people liked Bayonetta?

[thenamesbanana]

The eyebrow gets me everytime.

[RobbanFoxer]

More bayonetta!? = climaxed ... actally heard the news... *everything going back" Not today...

[RobbanFoxer]

More bayonetta!? = climaxed

[ImaPSPcat]

Thats BIG persona news! Its kinda stupid to remake P4, though... Everyone allready played it on the ps2. They should ratjer focus on Persona 5 :/

[Shinntoku]

Kammy is a troll, we all know it.

[ptwob]

arc systems is making a persona fighting game? O.O

[ProtoSnake]

We want Persona Collection!

[ScReWaTtAcKeD]

August 30th hard news isnt up?

[DreamTiger5]

Atlus needs to put more stuff out for PC.

[Exarian]

Atlus: "We get off on your tears!"

[ScReWaTtAcKeD]

Pleash have Persona 1&2 or 3&4 on 3DS

[downphoenix]

well guess its not a coincidence with not 1 but 2 employee scandals over at Take 2, Im guessing its a shitty company to work with.

[Cocoabine]

Now, when they say remake.. is that a remake for the PS2? D:

[DementisXYZ]

Huh, I must be a very weird gamer, 'cause I'm an extremely patient person...and I've never cared for cotton candy.

[ISesseriI]

HOLY SHIT DOES IT EVER BUG ME WHEN PEOPLE PRONOUNCE JAPANESE NAMES WRONG

KA-MEE-YAA not Kamehya.

but not everyone knows the language decent enough to know that.

[DRAGOON2ONIONKNIGHT]

@ISesseriI KA-MEE-YAA sounds like the dragonball z move {:D

[ISesseriI]

@DRAGOON2ONIONKNIGHT When you pronounce Kamiya you pronounce the "mi" with a strong E sound because thats how they are.

[DRAGOON2ONIONKNIGHT]

@ISesseriI i know i wasnt doubting you i was just saying.

[JimmMyHero]

@ISesseriI It bugs me when someone can't write English well too....I'm lookin at you ;)

[Snyperwolf91]

hell yeah !!!! finally a persona game for the 360 !! ^^ and a remake of the 4th persona on the vita ? damn.... im in heaven now .... =D PSVITA ! U ARE MINE !!!!!! DX

[sonicblast19]

Abotu the testers, do not let them be like EA's ones, I mean Medal of Hoor had a lot of bugs that even a unexperienced player can see them, unforgivable glitches that make have to restart the level..

[DragonTwister11]

funny how the guy is already assuming the game company is in the wrong. dumbass.

[orcasha]

BON-DIE!

[Chibiwaza]

D: Whaaaat No bayonetta 2!? OAO

[soadhusky]

bayonetta 2!!!!

[WavedFireLord]

i want a Bayonetta 2

[TheObayMeKid]

Persona 4 fighting game for 360? I am so happy... I could cry. Now I must go do my happy dance.

[MrElm23]

do mermaids have periods? or do they menstruate out of ther nipples ??

[Doomsasukeuchiha211]

fuck now i have to get a vita

[DavCube]

A fighting game starring RPG characters? Yeah, that's cool and all, but i'm not holding my breath of the quality of such a title, shifts to the fighting genre from most other genres hardly ever work.

...oh, Aksys is masking it instead. That... actually might make it better then.

[ZeroTheHeartlessKing]

PS vita? damn but at least there is a reason to get it XD and a persona 4 fighter for the 360? O_O OMFG EPIC WIN

[kazanyemmi]

bayonetta was garbage, I'm glad I didn't spend my own money on that game. its just devil may cry re-masked with horrible ads on TV with La roux playing in the background.

I mean who makes a game, that you can't possible have every single power up mastered? junk

[godzilla4189]

@kazanyemmi Hahaha, your funny. Not.

[orangeapples]

COTTON CANDY?!?!?!?!?! where? gimme gimme gimme.

[jungleboyuk]

Anybody know which fighting game is playing behind Jared??

[gorance2000]

@jungleboyuk Street Fighter 3 Third Strike.

[jungleboyuk]

@gorance2000 Theanks man!!

[sin1987runescape]

whats with the weird eyebrow? lol

[slowblues3x5]

He didn't move and lose a sheet of paper like yesterday lol

[connoro14]

i want more bayontta

[Fug118TheGreat]

I find this easy to masterbait to.

[mp32298]

Wtf that sucks thou I still want a online vanquish it would crush gears

[lneh]

As much as I'd want Bayonetta 2, Platinum games probably don't want to start milking franchises for money,I'm guessing they had enough of that at Capcom.

[letswatchstuff2009]

This is the first news i've heard that may make me consider buying a PSVita

[darkspyro159]

@letswatchstuff2009 ya me to

[TheeGourav]

To sum up today's show.

I'd like to take two hands and put them on Bayonetta, while I put my persona, somewhere else.

[SniperHero915]

@TheeGourav xD

[killthenazis742]

I am assuming Take 2 did nothing wrong. I did work for 2k as a tester, it is really not so bad. Its not fun by any means, the games are usually pretty broken but cmon its not like your breaking your back and cant rest. Hell I would eat and play, and your on ur ass any way so your already resting.

[GarredHATES]

I jizzed when Jared said Bayonetta 2

[IRAQI6TNT]

CowaBunga!!

[MINItheFox]

I want Bayonetta 2!

[TheFearlessbro]

of course there is a bayonetta 2, be stupid not too make a sequel

[tmacc]

great news

[viperxeon]

I wouldn't be surprised about Arron's reasons for suing, this industry can be pretty bad towards junior staff, sometimes 12-13 hour shifts with very little breaks, sometimes none at all. Especially games that are being driven for the Christmas season.

Also the pay is quite poor for the tediousness of the job at hand when it comes to game testers, especially those who don't have 5+ years experience.

[RawritsDerek]

3rd STRIKE!!!!!



[LoveoneAn]

Hideki Kamiya is a dick. He tries to be dryly funny on twitter but fails. Shinji Mikami is the true genius from Capcom.

[ANIMEman0519]

ive never played persona before

what kind of game is it?

and what systems can i find it for?

(is it the kind of game where i have the play the entire series to get whats going on??)

[lilfrog5]

@ANIMEman0519 Turn-based JRPG

[ShadowWolfRising]

@ANIMEman0519

First was on PS1, remade on PSP (available in US), the 2nd is actually 2 games, both on PS1 however we only got Eternal Punishment (but theres a remake of Innocent Sin releasing, and we get it this month), 3 came out on PS2, then a expansion pack version, finally Persona 4, PS2.

Turn Based RPGs, 3 and 4 having you balance school life with fighting monsters.

series has a emphasis of summoning a physical manifestation of your emotional facade to fight things.

great series

[metalmayhem007]

@ANIMEman0519 Hey persona is a jrpg series. You can play Persona 3 FES and Persona 4 on the PS2, or Persona 1,Persona 3 Portable (a port of the ps2 game with better gameplay mechanics) on the PSP. Persona 1 and 2 are on PS1 but in North America.

[metalmayhem007]

Hey i forgot to say you don't need to play the series in order, they aren't linked each game has its own story and world. I would recommend Persona 3 portable or Persona 4 on ps2 as they are the best, 1 and 2 are completely different from these two.

[madskilliz]

If freddy can make it in MK then by god, Bayonetta better make it into UMvC3 eventually

[TheLoneSaiyanWarrior]

Bayonetta <3

[dboyd1208]

No Bayonetta 2 :(...........*gun shot*

[landy1337]

Great it is another day where youtube loads slow for no apparent reason for me.

[IAMAMEGAMANpunch]

when is the new hard news logo going to debut?

[AlphaShizz]

Three Dog on Galaxy News Radio gave me the news all throughout my wasteland travels... No matter how bad it hurt..

[assassinman131]

And don't forget the persona 4 anime coming in october, and the remake of persona 2 on psp that came out a few days ago. thats a LOT of fucking persona goodness.

[ShadowWolfRising]

wait, didn't they announce they started development on Persona 5?

[powerprotoman]

@ShadowWolfRising yep jareds just stupid so i wont bother spelling his name right

[Vampisoma]

All japanese developers feast on our tears and sorrow

[masteroflag]

it's official. Just like the PSP the only reason I'm going to have a VITA will be for the remakes.....then again the 3ds is pretty much cornering that so we'll see.

[ma1alos]

Bayonetta in MVC3 could be awesome but it not crapcom so 

[soulsiege]

Awww, I was really getting my hopes 'up' for Boobienetta 2 -nudgenudge-

[TheArrow605]

what IS persona?

[supermancatcool]

cool



[Akeru99]

Well, now there is at least 1 game that makes my intrested in vita.

[razmazter]

I loved Persona 4.

[JoonStudios]

@razmazter WHO DIDN'T!?

[justchilln6190]

i like what i hear.

[magoichi75]

:I a remake of persona 4 and a fighting game featuring the persona characters......-flails around screaming like a school girl-

[SpacePajama]

No pc for persona? They just side stepped a great, great thing that could of happened.

[PenanceOmega]

No Bayonetta 2? Seriously? Way to pass up on an amazing game, Capcom.

[Akuseru333]

@PenanceOmega its not a capcom game, i believe its sega.

[Dracozon]

@PenanceOmega Bayonetta isn't Capcom,it's Sega and Platinum games (guys behind MadWorld). :U

[stewieisthelord]

Producing incredible games by feasting on the tears and sorrow of gamers everywhere...

[abrazadodude]

No Bayonetta Two?!?!?! D:

[megamanEXE502]
