VGChartz's Damián "Wright" Cruz Latorre: "NieR: Automata will be releasing on 23rd February, and based on everything seen so far and the promise implied by its predecessor, we can likely expect great things from it. If you get the chance, however, do yourself a favor and try the original NieR beforehand; it's an experience that cannot be forgotten, one that sticks with you like a lingering, tragic, yet at the same time nostalgic memory."
Stellar Blade's creative director, Hyung Tae Kim, has also claimed that the game is deeply inspired by Nier: Automata.
I feel like Yoko is downgrading Automata because he has expressed multiple times he'd like to revisit the universe, but Squenix hasn't been keen about it. We know he loves 2B and would love to take her out for another spin, so maybe this is how he gets the company to think about it.
I get he's giving them some credit, but i strongly disagree based on the demo. I honestly don't think any aspect of it feels good, it's not bad, it's just kinda ok but definitely a little jank. Also the souls like formula it is adopting does not help it imo. I was looking forward to this for years, now im just kinda let down honestly 🫤
Man exputer can you stop putting words like that after someone's name, i read Yoko Taro Passes and just went blank
(From the demo) Stellar has better direction in terms of stage layout if you like that ninja gaiden type feel. Nier is more polished by far.
IGN: "We talk to Yoko Taro and Hyung-Tae Kim about the ways that Stellar Blade is inspired by NieR: Automata, comparisons between EVE and 2B, and much more."
A sequel to Square Enix and Platinum Games' action role-playing game, NieR: Automata, has been teased by series creator Yoko Taro.
If it can be done right then amazing, yes please. Yoko Taro seems to change it up each time so I'm curious what a 'sequel' really means.
Tifa is a good sign. There's at least some hope, lads.
Just maybe they'll leave things alone.
Plus, like people are saying - Taro don't play that sh*t.
i want a remaster goddamn it
as matter of a fact just fucking port the game i don't even care
One of the best Stories and Music of the PS3 era. I really enjoyed this game and thought it was sad how its rep had been tarnished by reviewers.
The original Nier was a mediocre action rpg, that's all I got from playing that. It had an unique feel to it though, but it didn't get me sucked in enough to try it's successor. Artwork looks fun though.
