DigitallyDownloaded.net writes "It’s finally happening! NieR Automata is just around the corner. This is a game I never expected would exist. The first NieR was a critical and commercial failure. It deserved to be neither - indeed, we’ve formally classified it as the best game of all time at DDNet - but none of the fans of the original held any hope for a sequel after the developer, Cavia, shut up shop."
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.
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
(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.
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.
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.
....
The first NieR was amazing and had one of the best soundtracks I've ever experienced in a RPG. I really hope Platinum gets the sequel right.
This is the problem with the industry today, overhyping exclusives to high hell. Hows The Order 1886 holding up? Or No Man's Sky? Or Quantum Break?
Articles like this need to stop, cease and desist lool
Cause there will be a lot of fanboys crying how the game wasn't what they expected and how they feel ripped off.
It was a cool demo, but people are already hyping up too much.
Love the demo.
