Microsoft showcased the Xbox One version of NieR: Automata Become as Gods Edition with a brand new trailer showing the game.
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.
Nier Official Twitter: "Today, February 23rd, Nier Automata is 7th anniversary. Thanks to your support, the total number of global shipments and downloads has exceeded 8 million copies. Thank you for your continued support. We are looking forward to hearing from you."
Game is amazing. It deserves these accolades. Very depressing game, but tragic and beautiful.
The fact that Yoko Taro has confirmed that at SOME point we will get another Nier... Has set my heart at ease. The thought of what they could do with an actual budget on newer systems is scary. Please shower this man with money so that he can make yet another gaming masterpiece.
Wonder if they are going to put this on PC and actually update the game...
