Retailers have warned that introducing a block on pre-owned software in the next-generation Xbox will "kill" the console if Sony continues to support used software with PlayStation 4.
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 🫤
Daniyal from eXputer: "Dragon Ball FighterZ was so close to a revival but ineffective communication and a dubious launch of an anticipated update botched that hope."
This is obvious, the pre owned market is a big player in the gaming industry and vital life line for chains like GAME and HMV.
if the next xbox really doesnt let u play second hand games i can see sony doing the same.
not especially because sony wants it but because of the developers want it.
its all just going to be a little step for moving to full digital purchase.
if true of course.
but the hackers will always find a way too.
If both this and the always online thing are true, it would be a pretty bad day for Microsoft.
Microsoft needs to get J Allard back in charge. He did a great job launching the 360.
They better not do the always online thing or complete disc installs like PCs.. It will make ppl think twice about buying that system & going with PS4 instead..
These articles are already imprinting a bad name for the system & slowly starting to kill thier market already.. Even if false, there will be ppl who still think this is happening now.. Just like the wii u negativity that haunts it to this day.. All i can say is good luck.. If they think ppl will accept this, then more power to em.. I for one, will not
