GamerFitNation: The PlayStation 4 on paper appears to be a console with no match. It is only comparable to a PC as it features a PC like architecture. The industry has been sent ablaze lately when the PS4 (PlayStation 4) was announced and was said to feature GDDR5 8 gigs of ram.
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
If you're in the market for an RTX 4090 graphics card, this one is currently the cheapest one you'll find on Amazon after a hefty discount.
Oh but it does matter.
I believe specs are very important on the development side of things..Why do you think Sony listened to studios/devs when built the PS4?its because more things are capable on upgraded hardware gameplay wise..We would still be stuck in the Pong era with that idea of specs don't matter when it comes to hardware/development..
I have never understood this line of thinking. If it was in any way true then the PS1 would have been enough, as would the PS2 or PS3. In order for developers to push their games to the next level they do need that extra power. I know that conceptual games like Journey or Unfinished swan don't rely entirely on power, but they're the exception to the rule. If we are to have meaningful characters with realistic AI, and if we are to have immersive environments with real time lighting, weather and natural events, then we DO need that extra power.
It's all too easy to dismiss something before we've had chance to see what it brings. There WILL come a time when more power isn't needed because the differences will be too small to justify that extra power. But we are not there yet ... not by long chalk.
Of course it matters it's a next gen console....it's the whole appeal towards next gen consoles because you expect better specs then the console you have now, it's what will make you want a new console when you see how much better it is.
Oh the specs matter all right.But no need to worry cause Sony will be bringing the games too. So we will have awesome games that play with awesome specs.We don't only care about how the games will look we also care about the gameplay. I was already impressed with what Infamous and Uncharted 2 were able to accomplish on lesser hardware so higher level hardware will push them even further. Just imagine Infamous with a city three times bigger then the ones we have been in. That means more places to fight and play around in not to mention more enemies at a time and more space to move around in.The specs will give the developers the tools to do more and Sony's studios i am certain will take advantage of it. If Uncharted 2 made me drool next Uncharted could be around the world to every major country with open world space like GTA.
