I've been following this game since E3 2006. I st5ill have the orginal trailer on my hard drive.

Alan Wake and Heavy Rain - my two most anticipated games for 2008.

mistajeff5590d ago (Edited 5590d ago )

is a game really xbox 360 exclusive if it comes out for pc too? i'm upset about this focus on the console war. dc universe online isn't ps3 exclusive, it's coming out for pc. gears of war and mass effect didn't end up being 360 exclusive, they came out for pc. also, i'm pretty sure that alan wake footage was from the pc version, because didn't that trailer debut on a pc gaming site? i'll definitely be getting it for my pc over my 360, i remember how much the presenter during that tech demo was emphasizing the necessity of quad-core tech for the game to run like that and i don't want a parred-down experience (like what the 360 mass effect ended up being when compared to the pc version... glad i switched off for that one).

EDIT: upon rewatching, i realize that on the little label that popped up it said alan wake was multiplatform. i need to stop listening to sessler's big mouth.

Yoko Taro Passes Respect; Says Stellar Blade Is "Much Better" Than Nier: Automata

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 really liked Automata and cannot wait for Stellar Blade

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

Same... Awful way to word that title's beginning.

Thats because Sony had a heavy hand in funding and developing this game.

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
