P* wont spend time on just remaster lol

---

are they at least copying platinums engine

---

It seems so.

---

Also this is a remake of replicant and not gestalt which is the same game except the main character is Yonhas brother and not father.

replicant was the Japanese version of the game IIRC. We got gestalt cause they figured the American market would want a burlier protagonist.

---

so have they said if they're either redoing the entire voicework or just nier's?

Both versions were released in Japan. Gestalt for 360 and Replicant for PS3. I have both.

TCs OP reminds me of reviews of Death Stranding lol

1 terrible gameplay, most walking sim of walking sims except this is a delivery man sim

2 nonsensical plot, even for my senpai Kojima

3 why does my ladder go straight up with no support

4 these names are very on the nose

overall 10/10, another masterpiece

I'm hyped for this game, only played automata. Supposedly platinum is consulting for the game, age the game play looks different.

I actually read a plot summary for this game before the remake was announced and I still don't understand wtf happens lol. Seemed interesting though.

Its a bit more memorable than automata imo in general, although automata has more shocking moments. I like the main cast a bit more, with the exception of nier himself who is just bland. 9S and Kaine are the two best characters

yes but in America we only got gestalt for both systems.

---

The gameplay looks good, but I don't care because brother Nier is a massive dweeb.

Lol... did you know that this is a sequel to Drakengards ending E?

I did lol. I didn't understand the Drakengard summary either.

Just the kinds of stories that require play to understand.

---

Tc, do you have any IRL friends?

While I'm used to father Nier more than brother Nier due to Replicant never getting a release outside of Japan, we only got Gestalt, I can understand why they went with the brother over the father. We could possibly end up getting a father Nier scenario as DLC and if it happens I won't be surprised. I think the title with all the numbers is a fancy way of saying Nier 1.5 and I'm assuming there are going to be new plot details that connect the events of Nier into Nier Automata more and possibly even another new Nier game. The devs hinted at this by saying something along the lines of this not just being a remake. I'm sure the game will turn out pretty good, I just hope Yoko doesn't pull out some new grim dark shit for the new story content in this game. I'm fine with bittersweet, just as long as we don't get some original Drakengard ending shit I'll be fine.

If they do add new story content, I hope they don't end up spoiling the big twist in Automata just for the sake of connecting to it.
(That being that the humans are actually extinct.)

Yeah... too bad theyll never remaster or remake Drakengard.

Ending E was originally a joke ending. Yoko Taro noticed that some Japanese fans didnt like that ending so he decided to explore that world.

Im hoping for a fantastic game with a garbage ending!

Lol. When a game runs out of characters, throws whats left at each other and just shits out an ending.

And the credits were stupid.
