GamesRadar - The PlayStation 3 was the console for exclusives this generation, and that's a trend Sony appears to be attempting to continue with the upcoming PlayStation 4. It's already lined up a suite of awesome-looking AAA games from first and third-party developers, ensuring that there are experiences you can only get on the PS4.
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."
I'll put my money on Second Son.
Second Son. I just love how much Sucked Punch have grown as a developer. I see them becoming like Naughty Dog. Where quality is present in anything they announce.
Uncharted 4
the Last Guardian
The Agent
... are the obvious choices, but I'm going to plump for a rank outsider and say Second Son. It has sleeper hit written all over it.
... yes, I'm kidding.
(That should confuse everyone)
As of now Infamous:SS but we really havent seen much, Sony has unveiled 5 of their 20 games that would come out in year 1.
You can bet that the next Naughty Dog game will be unveiled at the VGA's its almost tradition. Santa Monica studio's seems to be about ready to show off their new IP if we go by the tweets of the voice actress. There is just too much we dont know yet to think about best game of the first year.
While everybody is saying Second Son(Big fan of Infamous Series), I'm going to take a huge breath and say The Order: 1886. I just have this feeling that it will be an instant classic with its life like graphics and gameplay. It would be interesting to see how Ready At Dawn use that seamless experience were players; will never see any difference between the cutscene and gameplay, which is very good. Too many cgi cutscenes in the past were better than the actual game.I see a possible coop multiplayer in the game, based on the trailer too.
