Rev:In a historic move, Microsoft officially reversed a ton of the Xbox One's much debated always-online and DRM functionalities last week. What does this mean for the industry, and for this fall's next-gen battleground?
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.
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."
C'mon Sessler. Stop making excuses for the Xbox One. I'm sick and tired of "we should wait and see". We were told to "wait and see" for the Durango reveal. Then it was "wait until they confirm or deny the DRM policy". Then is was "wait until E3". Now it's "wait until Gamescom to see more" and "wait until launch".
Didn't Sessler already open his trap about this topic?
The apologist continues his ridiculous Microsoft protection rants. Fucking enough already, join Polygon, Sessler..
Sessler's right on not deciding just yet....
I haven't preordered yet and will wait until around launch before deciding.....will get both but not sure which one first.....
Sessler must be one of those people who's proud of trumpeting how he has **nothing to hide**
