NieR Automata (PS4) - Platinum Games - Demo on PSN

E3 2016 Trailer:

E3 2016 Boss Battle:

That boss battle is glorious. :shock:

I love the Casshern type vibe coming from the world. Sparse, dilapidated, haunting looking. Major feels. :wub:

So glad this looks fun to play rather than the original which felt like a placeholder game they forgot to go back to.

Designs are also noteworthy now.

Thank you, Platinum.

Will add to my wishlist

Looking good. Like a mix between Bayonetta and Revengance. strawberry floating awful name, though.

NIER: AUTOMATA TO LAUNCH ON STEAM IN EARLY 2017
LOS ANGELES (Aug. 17, 2016) -- NieR: Automata™, the upcoming action-RPG from SQUARE ENIX® and PlatinumGames Inc, will launch on STEAM® for PC as well as the PlayStation®4 computer entertainment system in early 2017. The highly anticipated follow up to the 2010 cult-classic NIER®, NieR: Automata tells the story of androids 2B, 9S and A2 and their battle to reclaim a machine-driven dystopia overrun by powerful weapons known as machine lifeforms.

Developed by an all-star team consisting of producer Yosuke Saito (DRAGON QUEST® X / NIER), director YOKO TARO (Drakengard® / NIER ), character designer Akihiko Yoshida from CyDesignation, Inc. (FINAL FANTASY® XIV / BRAVELY DEFAULT®), game designer Takahisa Taura from PlatinumGames Inc. (Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance), and composer Keiichi Okabe from MONACA, Inc. (TEKKEN / Drakengard 3 / NIER ).

I'm excited! :toot:

Was Nier any good then? never played it.

It was pretty good. It had some flaws, but definitely had more good than bad points. Soundtrack was immense too.

Character trailer from TGS:

Not much new footage, but some of the character designs look cool. The robot holding the flower. :wub:

Hopefully we'll see more footage from the TGS.

No doubt they have a good, videogamey reason as to why the character can have the swords float like that, fact is though, it looks rubbish, especially when seeing it close up and side on.

Anyway, here are a couple of TGS vids:

March 7th release.

NieR: Automata, Platinum Games' sequel to Square Enix's delightfully bonkers action-adventure Nier, is getting a PS4 demo on 22nd December.

Didn't expect a demo so early. Special Edition looks lovely too. I wonder how much it'll be.

If you mean black box edition (the one with the statue), it can be pre-orderd for £170 on SE website. (Link is in the EG article^)

Might come out for XB1 as well -

As for Xbox One, Saito wasn’t able to outright confirm a port for Microsoft’s console, but he did say that it’s not out of the question. How successful the PC and PS4 versions end up being, will influence this decision, according to Saito.

Edit: Ooops.

Right game the second time.

Guess I'm not the only one to have mixed this up with Nioh in my head at some point.

Maybe having an Xbox version would work wonders for its publicity here.

No doubt MonkeyMan would be bumping the thread every time there's a meaningless news update or Phil Spencer takes a gooseberry fool.

"I don't mind if you draw porn of my characters, but at least be organised about it, you damn animals."

What a hero.
