Dealspwn: "In many ways, just like Sony's press conference, Microsoft's was more of a statement of intent than anything truly revelatory. However, that's where the similarities ended. Sony presented a show aimed clearly at gamers, gaming communities, and the developers and publishers of those games. Nearly everything in that show, even the lengthy waffle about social features and hardware gimmicks, most were couched in the context of the PS4 as a games console.
"By contrast, Microsoft were careful not to describe the Xbox One as a games console on a single occasion."
Available right now on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation and PC is the Construction Simulator - Liebherr Pack.
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.
u do realise that Square made Nier a franchise after Automata right?
Taro is downplaying it cause hes not a snob like most of the directors that think their games are gods gifts to the human race.
he said the same thing when being interviewed during the development of Automata too, that he couldnt have done it without the devs.
hes just a humble guy rly.
I mean, Neir existed before Automata with both OG Niers and Drakenguard. I don't count NieR Replicant, since it's a remake of the OG games. Sure, we have Reincarnation, which is still stuck on mobile devices (quite a damned shame). I just remember Taro saying he'd love to revisit Automata if Square Enix lets him. I do recall there was supposed to be a sequel to Automata, but it wasn't confirmed and I'd imagine it was just for Reincarnation.
Enjoy Taro, he seems like a cool guy, who loves the ladies and is humble. But damn, don't put down one of your masterpieces.
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
They sent in XDEV one of their traveling support studios to Korea to lend a hand if I’m not mistaken, Sony pulled out the big guns to help this studio
(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.
The reveal wasn't for anybody. It was terrible.
"Did you hear something drop? I think that was XbOnes sales"
" Nonsense, that would imply people actually bought it at one point"
I can see the Sony office having this Convo in the future.
it was for me.
it can do everything the PS4 can and more.
i really like the fact that you can just walk into the living room and say "xbox on" and everything turns on.
i also like the fact that i can skype while gaming.
and also that i can snap anything to the side.
i also like that i can switch channels with my voice.
its even connected to my cable box so no more hassle changing from xbox to tv.
They improved xbox live even more by adding 300.000 DEDICATED servers. So it doesn't need to use other players connection as servers. which means no more lagfests.
I also really like the controller. it went from the best (xbox 360 controller) to the perfect controller.
this event was not about the games. it never was, they made it clear. It was about the consoles features and specs.
E3 is going to be about the games. They said so themselves. and also that they will have 15 exclusives next year, including 8 new franchises.
This is the only true next generation console.
It only does everything.
It was for the people who almost certainly weren't watching, and probably aren't even all that interested.
Most of MS's presentations haven't been for gamers. Especially ones related to the Kinect.
