communistwookiee Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I'm excited to play this and wish it was coming out sooner, but it looks like they're putting a lot of work into it, so I shouldn't complain about how far off it is.

April 2021 in Japan is what I read on gamefaqs yesterday. Nothing on western release. Maybe I repeated info that was already here?

Wagszilla Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 I just finished Automata. How does this compare in terms of gameplay, tone, themes, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be more like Automata, Platinumgames is involved. Definitely better Gameplay than the original. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intoner_Zero Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 @Wagszilla Gameplay in the original is primarily hack & slash, some top down battling and a text heavy portion was also used to progress through the game. There were pretty memorable and epic-like boss battles too, definitely one of my favs. Not sure how much will be tweaked for the new release, but anticipating more sleek and refined combat. Tone is a bit somber given the world it presents itself in, but the characters and scenarios can give some emotional highs/lows. I always thought of NieR as a dark fairy tale that is utterly fascinating. It looks and feels more organic compared to Automata. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wagszilla Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Gotcha. I liked Automata a lot but I’ll be honest the “endings” and constant reloading save states really detracted from my enjoyment of the game. I’m on the fence about Replicant.

Pumpkin Head Cthulhu Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 (edited) I would not expect massive gameplay changes to a Remaster. Unless they are doing a full on remake it will be the same as the PS3 version. Looks good and I will get it either way myself. EDIT: Just watched the gameplay, I will replay the PS3 version after work but this might be an actual remake using the Automata engine.

Cravinovv Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 The music to this game was nothing short of genius. A remastering of the music alone has me stoked. I wish it was Gestalt but that's a minor complaint to what was one of the PS3s greatest gems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played whichever one was called “Nier” in the states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You played Gestalt "Gestalt" had the protagonist be the girl's dad, while "Replicant" you played as the girl's brother It was at that weird time where JPN devs wanted to appeal to western audiences, but had no idea what to do. "So let's change Nier protagonist to be an old man instead!" Admitelly, I really like the old dad more, but the game was clearly made with the younger guy in mind 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I think this is more of a remake as it appears they rebuilt most of the game using the Automata engine. But we wont know until the game is released. Still cannot wait this and Granblue Fantasy Re-Link. Just for the fun of it listen to this: Edited December 14, 2020 by Void Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That made the character very relatable. Representation matters! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starcrunch061 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 I’m sure I will like the dad better, but I’m glad the remake has the brother, since I haven’t seen that perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing different regions of the SE store, and unfortunately White Snow CE is on 'Wait List' status. You could put yourself on the list and hope additional copies are made available when the release date nears/drops. You can also try sites like Amazon, Ebay, etc to see if 2nd party sellers will have it for sale, but most of the time those CE get marked up.
