I just hope the story is good. A great Yoko Taro story with top notch gameplay is my greatest vidya wish.
The shota didn't seem to to take any damage. Not a big deal, but bothers me a bit.
I don't like second voice. Emi is perfect though.
>2:15 onwards
Damn that looks fun
I have to say, I felt a lot of excitement just when they showed the camera transitioning to a side scroller in the world hub.
When the music started playing during the boss battle, I got serious chills.
>>341734151
This. Bring on the suffering!
>>341733914
does she have a penis because that will really fucking bother me
>>341735235
she doesn't have anything. she's a robot
>>341735235
>>341735235
Robots don't have genitals
>>341734325
I don't really remember how it was in the original but Kaine and and Emil never died for me.
>>341735235
yes she does
Fuck the wait. This and P5and RE7are all I need.
>>341735339
They don't die, but can get knocked out. They surely did get damage, while this shota didn't even flinch.
But maybe it's just in this trailer.
>>341733914
>>bullet hell sections confirmed
I have been thinking about this
The presentation of the game on the trailer was perfect. I really liked the songs completely in sync with the boss moveset
However, there are no hp bars, the music didnt had a single obvious "phase transition" that cut down another part of the song (like rising had), and the boss last exactly as long as the song
I know that is probably was just crafted like that for the trailer, but my fear is that the game is more of a weird variation of a bullet hell than a hack and slash. Like, if you waited till the end of the song, you would beat the boss no matter what, even if you dont attack at all.
I hope however that it is just me being paranoid from seeing a "perfect trailer".
>>341735281
>>341735317
Excuse me motherfuckers.
>>341735653
He's dodging constantly
>>341735671
Barely any E3 games have HUD, simply because they have god mode enabled and showing the player taking no damage would look ugly.
They obviously only showed the boss gameplay before the phase transition, look how the boss turns to the stage in a scripted manner right before the end.
>>341735671
They just don't have health bars since it's a demo. The PC doesn't have one either.
Also, at the very end of the video the stage curtains open up again. Guessing that was only one stage of the boss battle and it jumps back on the stage, shoots shit at you, then jumps back down for the second phase
>>341735671
The UI is turned off
Nier has nothing to do with MGR
The fuck is wrong with you
>>341735671
You...haven't played nier before have you
I wanting to play Drakengard in anticipation for this. I'm also considering 100%ing is. What exactly does that entail? Is it just getting all the endings or are there other things that you have to do in order to have "100% completion"?
>>341733914
>>Emi Evans is back singing
When was she confirmed?
>>341736394
Unlock all weapons to get the last ending
>>341735281
>she's a robot
no, taro calls them androids in the e3 interview
androids can have synthetic reproductive organs or even completely human ones
I'm surprised Platinum decided to put all their A-Team on Automata and left the D-Team for Scalebound, you'd think Kamiya would've had more pull to get at least some of the competent staff.
>>341736470

>>341734151

>>341735907

My point is that i fear that:
>She goes second phase
>Still a glorified "objective: survive" bound to the length of the song
>The whole game is like this
>We have another asuras wrath.
>>341736058
Reading comprehension, i only talked about rising cause it seens to have music deeply integrated into the boss fights, similar to MGR
>>341736069
>No game has ever had negative changes in the sequel.
>>341736818
What I'm saying is bullet hell has always been part of nier idiot. As has the music integration part
Fucking secondary fuck off
>>341736476
I thought you had to upgrade them all to get one of the endings. I guess even if that's not the case I'd be doing it for 100% completion anyway.
>>341736818
It's Nier
>>341737381
I can't rememberi downloaded a save with all the weapons unlocked anyway
>>341736698
>with Akihiko Yoshida to do the characters
>>341736818
>Survive until the length of the song is over
Holy fuck, you are really dumb. They said in the stream that they choreographed this fight video to the song, but it's not like the actual fight that you play will be choreographed like that. Did you even play the first game? Fights have a very particular way of ending, and none of them have the objective "Survive"
>>341737381
No, you just have to unlock them... Which is awful enough. Seriously, unlocking all of the weapons in DoD 1 was the biggest plunge into insanity that I've ever experienced while playing a video game.
>Create a rich open world, crafted with the closest attention to detail, and populated with a variety of memorable npc's and enemies
>Game is only 5 hours long
T-thanks, Platinum
>>341737584
Nice job changing your pasta there spammer
>>341737584
Just stop, anon.
>>341736561
>>341736598
Derp. I had the volume pretty low and the voice didn't sound like Evans.
Thanks.
Been playing pic related but after that fight I want to play Bloodborne again. Is there any other game with cool dashing/dodge mechanic?
>>341735671
>but my fear is that the game is more of a weird variation of a bullet hell than a hack and slash.
Why do people insist on talking about shit they know nothing about? Like what another anon said, you clearly haven't played Nier
>>341736552
Do you have any source for this information?
>>341738076
>Is there any other game with cool dashing/dodge mechanic?
Does Vanquish count?
>>341738076
Nero in DMC4 has tablehopper
>>341738426
His ass. The problem with Scalebound is that the game has been in the making for a long time and now Kamiya is under Microsoft payroll. Kamiya has also complained about working with them. I hope the game turns better from what I've seen but I I'm not interested in playing it either way.
>>341735310

>Faggot only played Route A
I am so fucking hypejust for the soundtrack.
Have they shown dialogue? I want to hear her voice.
>>341737584
Taro would never allow that shit. I recall that he gave Drakengard more fluff with that weapon-finding bullshit to pad out the time. He'll artificially extend it's playtime and you'll like it.
>>341740435
Cute
>>341741585
What do you guys think the "happy" ending will be? Everyone dies so there's no more suffering anymore?
Why no pc?

They had a video of the Japanese voices at that NieR concert a couple months back and they had the person who does 2B on stage doing some edgy stuff.
>>341741064
>Earth infested with cultist robots
>Send some sexbots to cull them
This is straight up some porno plot. I love it.
>>341741708
I said this in a previous thread, I think the "happy ending" would be a "wonderful lie." The game is directly lying to you and the characters and will only stop being happy when you dig deeper.
I want the happy ending to be the very first one, so we have to unlock our own despair.
>>341741806
You can't drop something you never picked up in the first place.
So a theory some anons have come up with is that the robot in the OP video is actually the Devola/Popola programs
>>341741923
She sounds alright, I was hoping for a stronger and more stoic voice.
>>341741967
So kinda like Nier's ending A where it is happy end as long as you don't actually think about it.
>>341741708
It was all a lie:you were killing innocent people, not robots, the entire time.
>>341735671
Subtle baiting, platinum shitter
>Alien robots are designed based on Emil because he rekt them so hard when they first invaded, so they started equating his image to death
>Opera bot has such a head on her chest
>but opera aesthetic is a human design that the aliens would have no way of knowing since there are little to no humans in the world, and the ones that exist have lost the past aesthetics, by the time they arrive
>2A is apparently questioning why must they fight
Are we being set up for another switcheroo of who the real bad guys are like with the first game?
>>341735671
>I know that is probably was just crafted like that for the trailer, but my fear is that the game is more of a weird variation of a bullet hell than a hack and slash.
It has been fucking confirmed that the boss battle trailer was done in sync for the music because Taro suggested they do that FOR THE TRAILER. The developer even said, "It was hard, so I hope people enjoy the TRAILER."
So what does it fucking mean?
It fucking means that the music was only in sync with the battle BECAUSE IT WAS FOR THE FUCKING TRAILER.
Did your really fucking watch the presentation or what?
>>341735671
>I hope however that it is just me being paranoid from seeing a "perfect trailer".
Yes you are paranoid because they specifically said that the music matched the battle because they adjusted it for the presentation.
>tfw no 2B gf

that looks rad as hell, but I know shit about Nier, should I give it a try? is it good/tedious/fun/boring?
I miss playing as an ugly old man.

>>341744017
>ugly
>>341744016
It's interesting.
I wouldn't say it's good per se, but it does some unique things you don't see in video games.
If you don't mind simplistic combat you should play it because the story, music and character interactions are all top tier
>>341744097
Yes?
why...does the game look so good? I'm not used to a Yoko Taro game not looking a gen behind.
>>341742334
>>341742932
I really hope that's not the case.
>>341744334
platinum games dun made it looks all pretty

it's okay they're okay
>>341735221
when is grass in games going to stop looking like shit?
More 2b art please.
2b cute
what about other android
So I know this is a bit off-topic, but I don't want to start a new thread since the fan base of Drakengard/Nier games is so small and you guys are already here.
What is the chance of Squeenix remastering the earlier Drakengard games to be played on current gen and PC? If possible, how would we go about making it happen? Petition? Bitch loudly and endlessly on twitter?
>>341744016
its... unique as >>341744169 said
go in for the story, gameplay is hack and slash and if you are one of those trophy/achievements whores prepare to grind for a loooooooooooooooooooooooooong time

>>341744716
Zero. No Drakengard game is actually a GOOD game I'd recommend to anyone in good conscience. They have interesting everything else, but gameplay and performance is something that'll make you want to hang yourself.
>>341745314
then let them make drakengard 4, or whatever the hell Taro can come up with next

>>341744716
They should just upscale the graphics and release them as free ports if you preorder Automata. Kinda like what they're doing with the southpark games.
Easy, and would help sales.
Does this mean Taro and Platinum will work on another game together?

Taro said we get to play as him at some point.
>>341744293
He's ruggedly handsome. Only a fool would call Nier ugly. Full face third degree burns are ugly. People seem to forget that not every male needs to look like an asian boy pop-band model. He has a symmetrical face, his chin is large, he has properly aligned eyebrows, the only thing is that his jaw is not really wide enough perhaps.
>>341743453

Should I just buy a ps4 now?
I mean I have a PC but I was hoping this would be announced for it as well as FFXV and since I haven't gotten news on either should I cave? What games can I play while I wait for FFXV and this?

doubt it, I bet its some manner they drop as they get out of the sexdroid-army hivemind and gain their personality or something, he sounded bretty qt in the other video
>>341746418
we got gameplay with him as the main character, pretty sure we'll be running with him around atleast for the first "half" of the game
and then something kills him, or he kills something or things and you realize that the ride is still going on and theres no stopping it
>>341745543
That's not the question; for, in that synthetic sleep, what dreams may come of electric sheeps when we have shuffle through this game must give us an erased data.

>bait
How is that bait? I ask a question. I've never played past Nier game, I don't know anything about weapon stories. I've never even heard of this being a strong point in a game.
Now will you please explain to me what are these weapon stories in the Nier universe?
>>341746724
> I'm in a rush to beat it now that the sequel's been announced.
nier automata was announced last year
and it's not coming out until next year
>>341746491
Wait for Sony to shed some light on NEO.
>>341746724
it won't take 7+ months my dude there's no rush enjoy it
>>341746959
We won't see anything about the Neo until 2017 or later
>>341746940
It takes me forever to beat games man. I've had this shit for like 2 years and I'm still on part 1.
>>341746959
Neo isn't until Holiday 2017.
No one is going to wait that long.
>>341746901
not him
Basically the weapons have a little story attached to them, you get to read more of the story as you upgrade the weapons, they are pretty nice and a lot of the weapons and their stories remained constant and iconic through the games
>>341747034
well we wont see this game until 2017 either
>>341747079
Quite a conundrum, I wouldn't wait a year but any shorter than that I'd wait to get the better console - if I'm forced to buy one.
Also a good 6-8 months after release is a good timeframe for the to announce a pc port if ever
>>341746491
Buy it for Bloodborne and Persona 5. FFXV is going to be shit.
>>341743463
Am I the only one who saw the cestus style attacks and got hyped?
>>341746724
You have plenty of time-
>>341747059
Well, I don't know what to say about that.
Funny how they just made the weapons float on your back thanks to meme magic instead of having people complain that weapons aren't attached to your back in any way.
>>341747034
>>341747079
NEO is already way way further in development than Scorpio, the dev kits are already in the hands of devs and the leaked documents mentioned that game needed to have a NEO mode starting from this Fall.
It's not meant to go head-to-head with Scorpio next year, expect it to be out by next spring at the latest.
>>341747263
I think its a nice touch but I am pretty bummed at the lack of follow/pull in its animation, too rigid
>>341743694
>>341743572
>>341743463
I really hope not all enemies are robots. Killing machines is always somehow a bit less fun than killing something organic.
Did they ever explain why the robots resemble Emil?
>>341747349
Then why did they not even mention it at E3 if it's so close?
>>341747096
Cool. Thank for the explanation. Not sure why anyone would call that bait.
>>341747516
I thought they resemble our Taro.
>>341747516
its a secret ;)
>>341736698
>Meta-dispair
Sounds like Taro.
Fund it.
>>341747516
I remember one of the endings had Emil's head rolling about the place, I wonder if it actually has anything to do with him.
>>341743463
god damn it looks so smooth
>>341747516
They got BTFO by him so they would associate his image with death and use it for their war machines.
Who do you want to show up in the game more?
Robot-demigod Emil
or
Robot-demigod Beepy
orthey both show up and battle to death
>>341748115
I actually want Caim to show up somehow
>>341747563
Because announcing it too early would do nothing for Sony other than hurt the current model's sales.
Refer also to https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/jun/15/playstation-boss-andrew-house-ps4-neo-microsoft-scorpio and Andrew House saying how they'd rather announce their products at the last minute.
Every rumor and leaked detail suggests that NEO is closer than Scorpio.
>>341743463
Really dig the dodge/slide look
But I want to see 2A doing it
>>341747263
2B’s weapons don’t touch her back because her swords have their own magnetic fields, and it's utilized in the game-play.
>fans complained weapons were clipping through characters or floating
>so now they purposely float behind them
>>341747516
>>341747958
It has everything to do with Emil
I just like her walking in black dress and black heels.
The Song of the Ancients sung by the character Devola is the best videogame song ever. Fight me faggots.
>>341747958
>I wonder if it actually has anything to do with him.
It literally was him, lol
He grew a new body, kept modifying it until he was literally shooting lasers out of his eyes, started fighting alien robots, replicated an army of himself.
Will Beepy come out of nowhere and nothing personnel Yohra at the end of a route like One's brother does?

But it's not a Nier game you retard, it's far, far better.
Nier was a garbage game with a mediocre story saved only by its soundtrack and maybe its setting/presentation.

Its so impressive and cute. 2B moves Matrix style while her dress flutters along and shows off her zettai ryouiki.

Ok riddle me this.
The recent boss video was showing the game running at 60fps. Is it actually confirmed to be running at that framerate ? if so, how likely is it that they decide to lock it down to 30 for release
>>341745828
does she actually wear side ties ingame
i know somebody has looked
>>341749508
Why the fuck would they do that?
>>341749508
It's 60fps.

I hope we get some buildable robots out of this
Emil-bots are cute as fuck
No idea what this game is but she is sex incarnate

Running and walking in-game has never looked so damn good.
>>341749513
This image makes it look like she doesn't wear anything

I'd still play it.
This was really what tipped the scales for me and made me think "I need a PS4". I was neutral before but this game hits all the weak spots in me for some reason.

Same. That's pretty much only thing I'm worried about with this.

Come on, a robot can't be this lewd.
>>341749053
Porn is the one, the one and only thing that improves with the popularity of whatever it is you liked.
Sometimes its only good thing about your game going mainstream, but its always good.

I mean, there's no confirmation to his proper identity, so it could be anyone. I think it's him because the pose Red Eye holds his sword in is the same as the main character art for Caim.
>that music
I wish there was some with just the music and none of the other stuff.

You have listened to the first Nier's OST, right? It's absolutely top tier.

>I wish there was some with just the music and none of the other stuff.
What?

The fact that a trailer stated something along the lines of them not knowing how futile their war is, highly doubt it.
Both sides are probably fighting for something that has been gone and dead for a long time. Humanity has probably already gone extinct on the moon, but the Yorha units don't know. Similarly, the only reason the robots are attacking Earth is because they don't know any better. Maybe Emil destroyed their masters, and they're just peasants and laborers looking for their dead creators.
