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 🫤
The Outerhaven writes: The Nintendo Switch has had plenty of big hits, but perhaps to help its successor, some of its "lesser hits" could get ported with some "upgrades."
Review - Scott Whiskers in: the Search for Mr. Fumbleclaw very much puts the heart back into point and click.
An availability increase combined with great game releases will do that. Christmas sales will be huge if they can finally meet demand.
Crazy numbers. The power of a goty game with major increase in supply. I think I neever saw the ps5 reach this number in one week, only on launch.
How they were able to sell 450k in one week! Huge supply increase.
If Sony can keep or increase the supply, we'll this holidays they will sell millions.
That’s a huge boost. COD and GoW bundles clearly having a huge impact!
Estimates are usually lower than actual sales . Either way PS5 is in stock right now for hours instead of seconds now but still sell quickly. I could have got a GoW bundle but I want a Pro or Slim so I’m holding out for my second PS5
