Nier Replicant Supports 1080p On PS4 and 1440p On X1X

Nier Replicant is a remake of the original Nier that was first released for the PS3 and Xbox 360. Unfortunately there is no native current-gen version.

Yeah I have to agree. Nier Automata was native 4k and 60fps on Series X due to the X1X having a dynamic scaler for resolution (that Series X just always maxed without frame drops in BC).

You cannot tell me that this game could not have had a 4k dynamic scaler on the One X like Automata did. So even in terms of gen 8, it isn't really pushing anything.

Shiken1122d ago

lmao at the disagrees. Nothing I stated wasn't fact, the 1X and Pro can do more than what we are seeing based on Automata.

Ahytys1122d ago (Edited 1122d ago )

The thing is, I think, that rarely do japanese developers care that much about graphics... unless it's Kojima

AnnaDea1122d ago

Bring on the ps5 4k patch then!

AnnaDea1122d ago

I like that you get 6 dislikes from stating the obvious.

N4g and their extreme curled entitled users xD

LOGICWINS1122d ago

The dislikes are due to the double standards perpetuated by console warriors.

When a game looks/performs better on PS5 than the Series X, the reason for this gap is said to be a “hardware limitation” and we hear the moronic “Guess that means the PS5 is the REAL most powerful console!”

But when the shoe is on the foot and the Series X version of a game looks/performs better than it’s PS5 counterpart, then the implication is that it’s a “developer issue” and we get the equally moronic “The developers have to release a patch to fix this immediately!” while conveniently ignoring the possibility of hardware limitation on the PS5.

“The dislikes are FROM the double standards perpetuated by console warriors.”

Fixed it for you.

The shoe is not on the other foot when it’s not even a ps5 game. And you know that mr console warrior.

@LOGICWINS

That entire rant is hilarious. I've seen all sorts of excuses when XSX versions of games were inferior to PS5s. Tools, patches, lazy devs....it has all been said. Your generalization is just idiotic. The fact of the matter is that PS5 and XSX have stood toe to toe so far in most games with only the slightest of variations between them. If anyone is calling PS5 the "most powerful console" then it is simply mocking Microsoft's own silly marketing slogan. You know....the one they don't use anymore.

As far as this game is concerned, there is no next gen version for either console and so yeah....that game is going to need a next gen patch. Why is that hard to understand?

Agreed they should patch this for both ps5 and Xbox series X. It should perform better. I’m going to wait on this one now.

When are they gonna ditch the ps4pro/x1x builds and move on

darthv721122d ago

When stock is readily available for all... I assume.

@Father_Merrin

"Another win for the world's most powerful console"

Your comments don't seem to age particularly well, Father Ted 🤣🤣.

Father__Merrin1122d ago

This isn't because of console power it's obvious to play it safe I'm assuming it's the cheapest way to port is just use pro/x1x builds

Sol4ris1122d ago

@Father_Merrin

"This isn't because of console power"

I know, shame you can't take a balanced view unless ut suits your narrative 😉.

Youngindy211122d ago

Sony already said they are supporting PS4 for the next 2 years at least. It'd be foolish to abandon a player base that large especially with PS5 shortages.

Pyrofire951122d ago

Next gen is basically in early access rn so I'm not surprised all that much.

Hot damn those are some high quality games right there. I've been meaning to give 13 Sentinels a go, just haven't had the time to get around to it.

RpgSama251d ago

I had it on my wishlist waiting for a Discount, when I knew I would be close to playing it, so much in my backlog already, might as well try it now.

Also looks at ALL those Star Ocean titles!!!

Einhander1972251d ago

The story is so great especially if you don't know what's going on, When i played it I kept thinking I bet this is "it" no I bet that's "it" no it's got to be this, but "it" wasn't those things in the end.

It's Japanese story telling style at it's finest, lead you along and let you wonder what is actually going on really keeping you engaged to figure out the mystery.

The RTS gameplay I really enjoyed too, my only regret was that there wasn't even more of it!

RpgSama251d ago

LOL,

Who is salty enough to give you 4 dislikes for praising this game?

fr0sty251d ago

Probably why they hiked the price, so there could be better quality games and less shovelware.

notachance251d ago

It's one of the best story ever made in recent years, there's a reason it was nominated the best narrative in 2020's TGA.

Tapani250d ago

I heard 13 Sentinels has a superb story, gotto try it at one point.

I can vouch for Nier Replicant, it has one of the coolest endings I have experience in a game. Took me a while to complete the game fully, but man, it was more than worth it in the end.

nier and star ocean. 14 sentinels, jrpg dream. Even I can't hate on that.

CrimsonWing69251d ago

13 Sentinels is a must play if you haven't. Like, I can't praise enough what an awesome story and set of characters that game has.

monkey602251d ago

Why did they rename Backbone? Strange.

I'm starting to forget that Platinum Games can actually still make good games.

isarai543d ago

Yeah, they really need to pull it together for a new banger. It's all been games at the hand of some publishers demand, licensed games, pulled in to work on games that aren't theirs, etc. Just want 1 new game from them that is wholly their idea and execution.

Gamehard543d ago

Astral Chain was pretty awesome.

Shinox543d ago (Edited 543d ago )

What is it with SE and their obsession with this game , if it wasn't for the sex appeal and the internet degenerates this would have flopped and became forgotten like the rest of Yoko taro overrated trash , better invest on your abandoned IP's if you desperately want sex appeals on your games , just give Parasite Eve a chance SE

Snookies12543d ago (Edited 543d ago )

You are straight up HIGH, my dude... You clearly never played this game. There's barely any "sex appeal" in this aside from one or two easter eggs. Blowing yourself up, or angling the camera the right way. This is coming from someone that really dislikes when developers use sex appeal to sell games. It is first and foremost an existential experience. Brilliantly portraying how the psyche changes when faced with your own mortality. It is a masterclass in storytelling. I hate when people look at this on the surface and think it's just some sexual fan service game...

The thematically grim tone, the story, the music, the constantly changing gameplay systems and the dynamic camera angles are what sets this apart from any other game. It replaced Chrono Trigger as my favorite game of all time. I've been gaming since Bionic Command on NES. Which gives me a very broad knowledge of gaming through the decades. So, please... If you don't have ANY knowledge on the subject you're talking about. Just don't talk about it. Because you have no right to speak on a game you obviously haven't played.

shinoff2183542d ago

Agreed snookies. Even the gaming since nest except I go back to atari

Crows90543d ago

....so intelligence can drop to below 0. Bummer. You'll recover in time I hope.

This game is awesome. The only sex appeal is in your head. You have yourself to blame.

DarXyde543d ago

Everyone is welcome to an opinion. It is my opinion that this is contrarian nonsense.

It was a fun game with a beautiful OST and salient narrative.

shinoff2183542d ago

Nicer og was good. Gotta try replicant still. Idk about automata yet

I still need to play this! Plan on getting it for Switch.

Limitedtimestruggle543d ago (Edited 543d ago )

I recommend getting it on anything BUT the Switch if possible. The Switch version is a very cut-down port as usual.

Yui_Suzumiya543d ago (Edited 543d ago )

I prefer my Switch OLED for most games and all-ages visual novels. I have a PS3 and PS4 as well. Plan on getting The Callisto Protocol for my PS4. I also have a laptop but I only use it for eroge.
