Drakengard 3 Director Taro Yoko is known as a bit of an eccentric developer, but lately he received many encouraging messages from fans all over the world, especially expressing expectation and enthusiasm for his next game.
Today he responded to them, encouraging them to keep their expectations in check.
IGN: "We talk to Yoko Taro and Hyung-Tae Kim about the ways that Stellar Blade is inspired by NieR: Automata, comparisons between EVE and 2B, and much more."
A sequel to Square Enix and Platinum Games' action role-playing game, NieR: Automata, has been teased by series creator Yoko Taro.
If it can be done right then amazing, yes please. Yoko Taro seems to change it up each time so I'm curious what a 'sequel' really means.
On a sidenote assuming this is indeed Nier 3 then I kinda wonder if Yoko Taro will stick to his guns of creating new characters and stories each time, or if he'll continue with 2B & co due to their skyrocketing in popularity. I guess he'll probably do whatever Squeenix pays him to do lol, but I'm hoping for the former. 2B and her gang got a decent enough conclusion (especially for a Yoko game) and I feel like continuing their story would ruin it.
Actually, now that I think about it, a new Nier game would technically be Nier 4 since the gacha Reincarnation was declared as the sequel to Automata and is therefore Nier 3.
Oh man, that game was a slog. Graphics and music were excellent though, and it's nice directly strongly to Automata.
Tifa is a good sign. There's at least some hope, lads.
Just maybe they'll leave things alone.
Plus, like people are saying - Taro don't play that sh*t.
ACE, a self-taught independent game developer, has made a name for himself in the rapidly expanding indie game development world by creating a project that has been garnering attention and intrigue.
Expectations aside, keep up the Demands!
I don't buy "strange" games for 59.99. Unless it's Katamari Damacy!
I feel like the incestuous story proved that years ago.
best advice ever IMO, i like his... different approach to games and even if you might not completely agree with all the oddities, to me it's some good variation and creativity to keep things fresh
Well, I recently bought Drakengard for the PS2 at a local mom and pop shop just to see what the series was about. I also have Nier, which I've heard is set in the same universe, so hopefully I can play the first and second games in time for the Western release of this game.
