As usual we encourage you to allow the pictures below load properly, since they’re rather big files, and to avoid downloading them on mobile platforms if you’re on limited data, since they’ll eat it up rather fast.
It’s absolutely critical to start with a solid premise, then playtest again and again to make sure you’re staying on track. Passersby usually assume we’re just playing games all day, never suspecting how much blood, sweat and tears it takes…
While the demo we played only featured one boss fight against a giant buzz saw contraption, gamers should expect many more large-scale boss battle segments littered throughout NeiR: Automata . On top of that, Saito also confirmed that there are more mounts aside of previously revealed deer and boars, commenting cryptically that not every mount may be an animal. The addition of several difficulty options this time around will also make for an easier playthrough experience, a sharp contrast from the difficult-by-default original NieR . The game will also feature an ‘Auto Mode’ for those who fail to progress through the action sequences but still want to experience the st
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.
Keiichi Okabe: When I was working on the previous title, the difference that I felt with other projects was that NieR Automata Story guide|https://nierautomatafans.com/ uses a lot of vocals in its tracks, and I placed importance on the emotions that that conv
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.
In order to see the difference, we captured a few screenshots of the same situations within the demo both on a PS4 Pro and on a standard PS4 console, matching camera angles as well as possible and saving the shots in lossless PNG to achieve the best possible comparison.
The Biggert Shocker award goes to the game that really surprised us. Final Fantasy XV did. Considering that it has been delayed, you would expect it to be a bit rough around the edges, but it simply isn’t.
What you see here is a test level where we check characters’ animations to make sure they’re ready to go in the game. We also use this level to try out visual effects, like the sword arc you can see above, as well as special effects like clouds of dust, explosions and more.
YS: In this world there are many androids, and many mechanical lifeforms as well, but we will be revealing more than ten of them in a trailer that we plan to release at Tokyo Game Show. Please look forward to t
During a livestream hosted by the Japanese magazine Dengeki PlayStation, Square Enix Producer Yosuke Saito and PlatinumGames Producer Eijiro Nishimura showcased the how NieR: Automata will support PS4
Incidentally, if you look at the wall in the second image, it’s quite noticeable that there is a lot less aliasing. Keep in mind that the livestream was in 720p, so the game will look better than in the screenshots, that are intended only for comparison purpo
YS: Yoko-san first requested her to wear black, because it matches the story. He also gave specifics about her silhouette, and I requested her to be easy to cosplay. Yoshida-san took those requests in, and created the character. It was a nice marriage between all those requests and id
YS: You won’t need to do the side quests to reach the ending, but as with the previous title we’ll have multiple endings, so if you really want to find out the truth of the game, then you’ll probably have to do the side que
On the other hand, Square Enix mentioned better lighting and shadows definition for PS4 Pro, but from what we can see in the comparison screenshots above, and playing the demo, those improvements might not yet be implemented in the demo. That’s quite understandable, considering that we’re still about two months from release.
As producer Yosuke Saito explains, the first step in the production of the sequel was all about making amends for the missteps of the first title. As it turns out, the harsh reaction from critics about the original game’s lacklustre action sequences is exactly what led Saito to team up with Platinum Games this time around, a studio which had previously worked on Bayonetta and Metal Gear Solid: Revengeance . As we played a short period of the game in the boots of the android 2B, the studio’s action experience was immediately apparent: combat felt very fluid, and it was easy to hack and slash with 2B’s sword as she jumped and dashed across a battlefield of tin-can looking robotic enem
Because it’s an action RPG genre, there is a main story, but we do have side quests as well. While we do call them side quests, some of them actually have chapters within themselves as well. Some of them are actually really difficult. If you want to really complete everything, it might take from 25-30 hours of gameplay, and you might need to upgrade all your weapons and whatnot to complete the quests as well, so it may take longer than t
