Gimme Gimme Games writes about how Microsoft's 24-hour check in policy to play games offline on the Xbox One will hurt them in the long run and how it pushes away low-income players.
Available right now on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation and PC is the Construction Simulator - Liebherr Pack.
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.
Like I said, I think Microsoft knows something about how soon high speed internet will be available in rural areas, just two months ago My only option for internet was dail up and satellite. But, now I have Dail up (which is free) Dish Net high speed Satellite internet and Earth Link DSL. However, here's the thing... in two months time I went from not being able to get high speed DSL to having a choice between 3 Earth Link, AT&T and Net Zero. I may have a choice of more, but these are the ones I am 100% positive I can get because they sent out cards saying DSL was now available in rural areas. If you think I am lying check out these pics.

As you can see I am no where near a city, my country house ( I do have a house in the city ) is about 10 to 13 miles from the nearest city. So, if I can get DSL out here I think it will be available pretty much everywhere soon, and maybe Microsoft knows it.
Its not only the people without high speed internet they are pushing away. They are pushing away people who were going to buy the box but are alienating them with their 24 hour check in and used game fee. I was thinking of buying the console but with their DRM and used game fees I wont touch it. If this eventually moves to the PS4 I can see a lot of console gamers move to PC or handheld (IOS or ANDROID) gaming
I can't imagine this policy staying in place long. Even if you have 100MB down, there are outages and ISP issues that plague all of us each year at some point. That's ridiculous if you have an internet outage for longer then 24 hours you'll be stuck with a paperweight till it comes back up.
Surely this was announced now to gauge consumer reaction...and they sure got one.
Microsoft have well and truly screwed themselves with those of us who care about gaming. The more I hear, the less interested in Xbox One I become. It went from a possible purchase for me, to a definite no sale in a very short amount of time. I refuse to let a corporation dictate when, where, and how I use content or hardware I PURCHASED WITH MY HARD EARNED MONEY! Fuck Microsoft. Sony better not be adopting any such policies, or I won't be buying their console either. It will not please me to step away from console gaming, but I'll be damned if I'm going to be the whipping boy for any corporation. It gives me hope that Sony have stated there will be no online check in for their console, but a lot still remains left unsaid regarding other PS4 policies. E3 is do or die.
it's the future suck it up. You are complaing about the Internet while being on the internet
