WGTC writes: We sit down with Nier: Automata developer Yoko Taro to discuss empathy for machines, the potential of the video game medium... and butts.
NieR: Automata has received a surprise update, version 1.07, on the PS4, which appears to have resolved a major bug that has long troubled the game.
Which is great news nonetheless, the previous patch came out 7 years ago and no one expected the devs to fix the game anymore! I've actually played the game only recently on my PS5 thanks to backwards compatibility, and I was hit with constant crashes in a specific area, and I've seen a lot of players complaining about it too, so I think that's awesome for future players
I didn't say or imply it's bad news. I'm just annoyed someone made an article with a cryptic title so I revealed the pertinent info
Oh that's interesting! I played it last April for the first time on PS5 and suffered no crashes, but I played it on Switch and...yeah
It should have a PS5 version already. I hope they release it, physically though
Maybe, but it does coincide with the Stellar Blade collab Roadmap.
thats interesting so many years later. never encountered any crashes in my multiple playthroughs but great nonetheless for those affected.
Yeah it was mostly an issue for PS5 players and it popped up pretty recently because of a PS5 software update
That's excellent news that crashing happened to me at least 50 times while playing the game a few months ago before playing Stellar Blade almost a game ending bug for some people because you have to pass that area to beat the game and it just kept happening
"Thanks a lot for everything, truly".
For me, these Mario + Rabbids games were the best thing Ubisoft has developed in recent years. I'd hate to see Ubisoft drive the series into the ground like their other properties, so I think 2 games are enough. Maybe 1 more.
They can't ruin it because Ninty will send their ninjas to destroy all traces of it. If not for that you can bet that spinoff series would've been milked dry by now.
Great games, I have wanted Sony to copy these games with their own mascots for years.
I think Nintendo has to hire this guy, I mean the fact that miuamoto himself said to him that he is impressed with this work, speaks volumes. Th possibility on having Mario on Soliani's hand could be incredible and quite possibly a new era for Mario games.
Yea, these games didn't even feel Ubisoft at all. This felt very authentic Nintendo. This guy's direction is obviously stellar, and Ubisoft somehow managed to not kill it with microtransactions and repetitive, boring tasks.
Cultured Vultures: We’re going through the Nintendo Gamecube back catalog to find the games most deserving of a remake.
This game will make you have empathy for butts
Definitely one of the coolest, most unique creators in the entire game industry. We could all learn a thing or two from this man. :)
I'm a simple man if I see butts I like.i purchase such game .
Great interview. Seems like a really great guy. And what a game!
I really need to check out the Nier series. Great interview!
