Those interested in checking out what should be one of the first big RPG releases of 2017 should head over to the PlayStation Store now to begin downloading their copy of the demo. First impressions matter a lot, and if the buzz surrounding the demo is any indication, NieR: Automata could be a sleeper hit waiting to happen – perhaps Square Enix and Platinum Games will be able to combine to top the former’s incredible 2016 after
The press days of Gamescom have come to an end yesterday, and for now we only shared a fraction of the many, many games we saw. With only two public days left, it’s time to name our winners for the show.
YS: We have been asked this before during other interviews at Gamescom, and I have been telling everyone that it would be 25 hours, because that’s just how I felt. But when I told that to my Japanese staff yesterday night, they were like “no, it’ll probably take a lot longer than th
YS: As you may know already, the previous title was not what you’d call a “huge success,” but it does have a big cult following. When we thought about creating a new title for the franchise, I thought that it needs to become a greater success. To do that, I wanted to have my favorite composer, my favorite director, my favorite artist and my favorite designer, so I asked everyone to join and to create a success that I think is necessary for this franchise. I’m very glad that you feel the same
All that said, Nier: Automata is looking to be as equally impressive as its parent games. This series shines and maybe releasing earlier in the year will garner the attention Nier: Automata deserves. This is no JRPG newcomer; these games have been there the whole time and stand up to the best of them.
The producer also confirmed that the game would be PS4 Pro optimized, and confirmed than an Xbox One release was on the cards depending on how NieR: Automata sales fair from the game’s launch early next year. From our time with the game, the action sequences look to have heavily improved, and Platinum Games will be banking on an enveloping storyline and smoother combat keeping fans hooked. While we have some concerns about large bland locations and a lack of cannon fodder enemy variety, it’s clear that NieR: Automata looks like a marked improved on the original, and action RPG fans should consider the title when it eventually releases across the gl
At Gamescom 2016 in Cologne, Germany, DualShockers had the pleasure to interview NieR: Automata Producer Yosuke Saito and Composer Keiichi Okabe about the upcoming game, that will be released for PS4 and PC in early 2
NieR: Automata  will release in Japan for PS4 on February 23rd, in North America on March 7th, and in Europe on March 10th, 2017. A PC version is also scheduled to come next year, but no release window has been announced for that one. It’s definitely a hotly anticipated game. It won our staff-pick for Most Anticipated Game of 2017 , and it ranked third among our read
KO: In the previous title we did have theme songs for each character, but currently for this game we don’t have a track per character. Instead, I did create music per scene or per emotion, that can be used for any character at any moment. However if Director Yoko-san feels that a certain song fits a certain character more than others, then it might end up becoming a theme song for that charac
As usual, remember that the winners below reflect our personal feelings and opinions. It’s perfectly ok if you disagree, and have your own list. As a matter of fact, feel free to post it in the comments.
But alas, we have only one award to give, and Battlefield 1 ‘s absolutely stunning and extremely fun desert map brings it home. And the horses… oh the horses… They’re unbelievably fun. If you see one available on the battlefield, grab it.
NieR was a charming game, but NieR: Automata seems to have the potential to surpass it in basically every aspect. With PlatinumGames providing its trademark stylish action, Akihiko Yoshida bringing his beautiful character design, Keiichi Okabe’s music and the visionary direction of Yoko Taro, the pieces are really starting to fall in place.
They’re also rather hellish to descend, because Steep is not an easy game. After all, you’re tackling the Alps. It’s supposed to be a challenge, and the game definitely doesn’t shy away from putting a tree in your flight path.
On the other hand, about Gravity Rush 2 he mentioned that the number of NPC is increased since the previous game, and it’s awesome. Since he was playing for the first time in a while, he almost did not remember the gravity controls, and the environments are beauti
This year’s Square Enix E3 2016 presentation largely centered around Final Fantasy 15 , and rightfully so – the game took a decade to develop and has been heralded as one of the best JRPGs in recent memory. Unfortunately, however, and perhaps unjustly, that meant Platinum Games’ NieR: Automata took a backseat on the grandest gaming stage of them all. Ever since gamers caught a first look at NieR: Automata , they’ve been intrigued by NieR Automata strategy|https://nierautomatafans.com/: Automata ‘s grim industrial world and mysterious android protagonist, and news about the upcoming title has been difficult to come
