In this week's I love Monday's, Brad is quoted in saying:
"And do some more things we are not going to tell you about right now"
The Anniversary of Persona 4's Endurance Run Episode # 1 is Feb 9th. Today is the 1st of February.
Obvious Inference: Endurance Run # 2 starts either this week or next.
I'm calling it.
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4
Game » consists of 5 releases. Released Jul 10, 2008
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4 is a role-playing game developed and published by Atlus for the PlayStation 2. It is chronologically the fifth installment in the Shin Megami Tensei: Persona series. Like its predecessor, its gameplay combines a traditional role-playing game with elements of a social simulation. Its critical and commercial success spawned a sizable media empire, including several spinoff titles.
Endurance run # 2 starting soon?
Yeah, I usually assume secret stuff is something that they simply can't show or talk about until later in the week. Embargoes and such. I would love to see an Endurance Run starting up, but I don't think that that is what was eluded to in the I Love Mondays.
Someone might be out of office doing something sweet, like playing Splinter Cell or God of War or something. Usually they can't even mention what game they are seeing until a specific date. So, until it goes up, I won't be able to guess what it is, but we can all certainly hope.
I took the "stuff we won't tell you about" comment to mean that they just didn't have anything planned out yet, so there wasn't anything to say
They always mention "that and more" or "some other stuff we aren't going to mention" in the I love Mondays.
A new endurance run this week is unlikely no matter how much we would love to have one. I think there are just too many games out right now. Until the onslaught of games slows down, I wouldn't bet on a new ER.
" I got the feeling the Endurance run was a mistake they were glad to finish, even though its a fan favorite. It just took so much of their time...I'll be surprised if they commit to another one "But it was their most popular video feature and it brought in a lot of new users to the site, so I'm sure it was more than worth it.
But I'd be willing to bet you $100 that no new, real (not ala MAG Thing or Set Phasers to Fun) Endurance Run will be coming anytime soon.
" I got the feeling the Endurance run was a mistake they were glad to finish, even though its a fan favorite. It just took so much of their time...I'll be surprised if they commit to another one "It took an hour or two a day that's not much
I agree with this." If they want to do more serialized content, the baby Endurance Runs are probably the way to go, like Set Phasers to Fun and MAG Thing. SPTF probably sold a lot of people on trying to get into the beta, which in turn might have sold people on the game. "
"I figure they mean an ME2 spoiler cast. "This is what I figured they were talking about. The hesitation because they're not sure they are doing it yet.

It took a lot of effort for them to be posting hour+ plus videos to the site daily. Just think back to all the times the video didn't work right and the extra effort Vinny would have to go through to get it up. Drew would also be monitoring the video equipment. Out of a small office having three employees taking a few hours out of their day everyday is a pretty big strain. There is other stuff too. They can't just pick whatever game they want. It would have to be a long game, like Persona, it would have to be old enough to the point where spoilers didn't matter, but modern enough to where it still holds some interesting mechanics. I'm not saying it isn't going to happen, my guess it will eventually. I'm just saying it takes a lot more effort than just an hour or two a day.
" @Drebin_893 said:Good, one was enough. Another Endurance Run will most likely take away the quality from the first one." Nope. "I think it was said on some live stream that they probably wouldn't be doing another Endurance Run."

Jeff posted a while ago that he felt like starting a new game of P4, besides, they have stated several times that they really enjoyed the game.
And I've been lurking this site since its old days: The amount of members that joined because of the ER is unbelievable, its by far the most popular feature on this site.
........If your saying the guys feel annoyed because of the constant spamming of NEW ENDURANCE RUN in every comment section:
Yeah, they probably really ain't to fond of that.
I especially feel sorry for Ryan :( he has to deal with the dumb Emails like: ''WH0 15 UR FAV. PURSEONA CHARACTUR???!@!@!!@112''
Maybe they're doing this so that people make threads on it to show demand for it until people start to think that maybe they are doing this so that people make threads on it to show demand for it until people start to think that maybe they are doing this so that people make threads on it to show demand for it until people start to think that maybe they are doing this so that people make threads on it to show demand for it until people start to think that maybe they are doing this so that people make threads on it to show demand for it until people start to think that maybe they are doing this so that people make threads on it to show demand for it until people start to think that maybe they are doing this so that people make threads on it to show demand for it until the universe ends.

I loved the original endurance run, at one point i was even disappointed it was Saturday because there was no endurance run. I would rather watch the ER instead of any tv show.
Now that I've let you known how how much i loved the ER and probably come off as a bit creepy, i hate you because now im excited and anxious for something that might not even happen. damn you....
It would be really hard to do another endurance run that'll have the same amount of charm and enjoyment. The ER started by accident, it almost didn't seem like they'd continue at times. It was a spontaneous thing that became so much bigger.
Doing it a second time, serializing it, would make it lose a lot of its charm.
I think the next endurance run should be 10 minute clips of Jeff playing Startrek Online but instead of it being realtime have it fast forwarded with benny hill music to the fun parts.
Of course that would require the game to be up long enough to play.
I'm a fellow STO lifer waiting for it to be stable.
Maybe its a test. Brad is testing our faith in the fact that they will never make a new endurance run, so we can sort out the true believers who never give up hope. See! The non believers will prevent the Endurance Run return. BELIEVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEE
Also when Brad finished please notice that he moved his head
back
and to the left.
A clear sign that he was referencing Golden Week
back
and to the left
please keep this thread going I love the maddness.

I'll say it before and I'll say it again. No game out that they could do an endurance run of would be as good as Persona 4. Persona 4 should be the only ER they do.
No way. I don't see which game they'd choose (except for Heavy Rain, and if so, then I won't watch it).
ER#2 is reserved for P5 and P5 only.
" There will not be an Endurance Run 2 anytime soon, there is no game worthy of ER status.think about it tho, if they dont start now the endurance run could spill over into the busy part of the year, and im sure they wouldnt want that...
I'm callin' it. "
so its either really soon or we have to wait another year... i personally hope its the first one
The only option.
I'm Calling It.
If they were going to I'd like to see P3, but it's unlikely. It's weird, P3 is a bit more unforgiving and the characters aren't as developed, but damn it that game has some sort of charm that keeps me from saying P4 is better. I'd like another endurance run but I agree with most everyone else, there isn't a game that warrants it right now without going through the back catalog from yesteryear.
Not only that, but the ER came out of the fact that Vinny and Jeff wanted to play P4 but never had time and it fell through the cracks. There haven't been too many games I can think of that match that criteria right now.
