Nothing good really happens in these games and it would be a safe bet that Nier: Automata will follow suit.

When NieR: Automata was first announced , fans of the original game were excited to hear that the title was making an unexpected return thanks to Platinum Games. This week, Game Rant had a chance to go hands-on with an early build of Nier: Automata , speaking with the producers about how the sequel aims to fix the extensive gameplay problems of the original title, while expanding the lore and universe from the first NieR that fans seemed to systematically love more than crit

This system sends signals out into the area around the player, and these signals provide information that helps determine how much reverb to use – what the walls are made of, how big the room is, and so on. The green dots in this image are the exact spots where these signals hit, but you won’t see them when you play NieR: Automata. They’re just there to help us debug the dynamic echo system!


Nintendo traditionally doesn't participate to Tokyo Game Show, for reasons that have yet to be fully understood. This means that the first party lineup was missing. That said, there were plenty of good 3DS games, but there were only eleven Wii U titles (many of which already released, making them ineligible for an awa

The demo for Nier: Automata is contained to the mission inside the factory and took about an hour to complete, though 45 minutes is probably more accurate if the player isn't constantly taking screenshots. During the demo 2B has only one companion that only communicates with her a few times. The humorous bickering among NPCs in Nier was something enjoyable about that game, but I must stress that just because it was absent in the demo does not mean anything regarding its absence or inclusion in the final game, though it would be disappointing if we do not get anything comparable to Grimoire Weiss and Kaine going back and forth. Nier is a personal favorite from the previous console generation, but looking at it objectively, it did have a few rough edges. A game cannot be judged on a single level demo, but the content of the demo indicates that Nier: Automata will present a world that is different from its predecessor but will retain its essence but with more refinement. The odd motif of covered eyes seems like it will be more prominent, and the graphics look to be of a much higher relative quality than the original. The overall soundtrack cannot be judged based on a single level, but what was included in the demo sounded like the natural progression of its predecessor's score. So nier, far, wherever you are , if you were a fan of Nier, this demo indicates that we can be optimistic about the upcoming sequel.


Yosuke Saito: We were considering the Steam release from the start of the project. We did announce it at a later date, but we had it in mind from the starts. PlatinumGames will be developing that as well, so you don't have to worry about the quality of the g

As a series, it has managed to keep up with the times in good stride ( even if it got weirder along the way ). Nier and its predecessor Drakengard were both superb reflections of their time. Nier: Automata is already looking to address certain themes all too familiar for the times right now. Again, making a giant leap into the future, possibly to speak on what technology means for the world. How it shapes and effects our lives. It will be interesting to see where Automata goes because it will be the first game without human protagonist. Heroine 2B looks female, but like her counterpart S9 (looks male), they are both fully functioning machines. Not a single human thing about them, aside from looks (they both look dope). It will also be a game without blood, as far as what has been shown. Surprising as this series oozes blood; even the shades in Nier spouted fountains of gore. Yet even this design choice of focusing more on explosions than gore is important. Giving pause to thought, maybe Nier: Automata is saying something about our world in a clever way that is built into its world.


We do have shorter side quests that are stand-alone: you just go and find an item, or fetch one for a NPC, but then we have other side quests that are a story in itself, and will have multiple chapters, conveying a longer st
