New screenshots and details for Nier RepliCant

Abriael - 84 days ago

Read the article :D This is PS3 exclusive, Gestalt is 360 exclusive, setting is the same, main character is named nier in both. In the 360 one he has to save his wife, while in the PS3 one he has to save his little sister. Nothing else is known.

This is the PS3 version story.

It's cool to see Raiden in his young days.

it might NOT be about the same guy. They have the same name, and that's all we know. Given that one has to save the lil sister and the other his wife, it's very possible that they just share the name.

.. I really didn't see anything in those visuals to be excited about. I really think SE is pretty much just riding on past reputation glory. To me, they don't seem to really hack the mustered for true top quality current gen gaming experiences.

people don't see through square lies?? they learnt their mistakes of not pissing off their fanbases while at the same time, able to recieve paychecks from ms for "time exclusive." By going with two names, they can release xbox version out first. and since it isn't the same name, Ps3 fanbose won't feel like being betrayed. And SQ can then decide if they want to release ps3 version after that (depending on, how big ms checks is, how many Xbox version sells, how much more money they want to milk out of ps3).

orgin of the word replicant related to the word replicating, as in duplicating, as in PORTing.

I'll be the first to admit I was full on ripping on this game based off of the only trailer we had before these screen shots. If it was up to me and I worked at SE I would have NEVER shown that first trailer. That trailer made the game look like the biggest piece of crap since Superman for the N64.

These new screen shots though show a great art style. The lead character looks surprisingly awesome, and my favorite screenshot was the last one. The younger kid with glasses standing in front of that crazy demon monster.

Far from sold, but I will admit to doing a 180 on this game. I'm actually interested now about it. :)

I have to actually agree with Zlatko. The first pictures that were shown were kinda generic and meh. Now the game seems to be shaping up to something interesting. Hopefully nier Gestalt and Nier replicant will be different enough to warrant purchasing and playing both.

And no I am not being biased as I am getting a the MW2 Elite Bundle and will be buying both Gestalt and RepliCant most likely (Unless there is a reason as to why buying both would be pointless, but I doubt that). Just something about these screens click more with me than the ones I saw of Nier Gestalt (Which was when it was just Nier).

Yuo don't know how right you are. SE must have seen noone gave too cacks for the game so decided, cleverly, to set up the whole caboose as a flame war game(s)!

Just wait for the comparison articles and millions fighting over a game very few will buy on either console.

Incidentally did SE look at the two demographics, decide the PS3 owners are more likely to have kids and set theirs about saving a young lass? And thought 360 owners, being younger, would care more about their love interest? It's an odd situation, imo, and I'll need to see a lot more to be that interested either way.

EDIT:Wonder how different they'll be and will we see people with noth consoles trading in one copy for the other consoles when they're done? Is this move THAT clever-the games will have to be amazing if that's the aim!

"Nothing is known about the reasons behind the decision of releasing two exclusive titles instead of a multiplatform one. Maybe Square Enix doesn't want to incur on the same problems they are facing with Final Fantasy XIII, forced by contract to deliver two identical versions of the same game and not able to fully take advantage of the strenghts of each console (like the additional space offered bt PS3's Blu-ray). If that's the case, it might actually be a wise decision."

Most probably because Microsoft dropped on them some big money for the two version to be "identical"

I might as well, if the games are different enough to warrant it. We'll have to see as more of the story is revealed.
If I were S E, i would have made two completely different genres, one an action RPG and the other a traditional JRPG, to catch two different kinds of gamers. THAT would have rocked :D
