Persona 5 - PS3 vs. PS4

[casterofdreams]

As I was inspired by the Zelda - Wii U vs Switch thread, we have another game release coming up soon that will be release on two generations of consoles.

So Persona 5 comes out at the beginning of April. Which version will you all get?

For me it's the PS3 version because I don't have or want a PS4. From what I've read the only difference is resolution and load times.

I'm going PS4 fer sher. Then again, I also have almost 150 PS4 games, so I'm a bit of a PS4 collector.

Got the "Take Your Heart" Premium Edition ordered for PS4 . I figure there probably won't be a huge difference between the PS3/PS4 version but I'd rather have it on PS4 for the few bonus features it's bound to have over the PS3 version as well as the improved performance.

PS4, because I have the system, so why would I not? Better performance all around.

I preordered the standard PS3 version, because I don't have a PS4. If I had a PS4, I would have chosen that version.

Older hardware always trumps newer. Too bad there's not a PS2 version.

I'm waiting for the Vectrex port.

This may be more accurate in this case than initially apparent, as Persona 5 was long developed for the PS3 first and foremost. The PS4 is an up-port really.

Anybody got any sources for nitty gritty comparisons of the already-out JP release? I haven't looked in a couple months, but last time I checked I don't think I came across much. This game is basically the deciding factor on whether or not I'm getting a PS4 anytime soon.

Well here's a bunch of screenshot comparisons:

Squint real hard to see the difference!

Supposedly the PS3 has longer load times, but that's not confirmed anywhere I can find.
