GOTY whenever it comes out and I don't even care it's a remaster/remake lol.

Not referring to you but I'm sure the crowd that hates the concept of rereleases changes their mind when it's something they enjoy.

 

[EverydayBeast]

If you're changing too many things, and adding new characters that misses the point of a remaster.

 

[DESTROYA]

Never got a chance to play the original and the way this is being hyped has got me excited.

 

[Zambatoh]

I can only hope they retain all the magic spells the original game had. It was easily one of my favorite things about the combat system which Automata stripped away in favor of a machine gun robot.

 

[Manji Uzuki]

Ok they got my attention now. I wasn't really interested on a simple remaster of the original but all those improvements, specially the gameplay ones may be worth a replay. Would be cool if we can choose between Replicant and Gestalt main characters.

I had never heard of the the original before playing Automata. I adore Automata, top 10 game this gen for me, so I will be all over this remaster/remake

 

[SlaughterX]

Mghht be interested in this even though I hardly put much time into the last game...

 

[Mista]

Beautiful! Loved the first Nier

Hopefully whatever new they’re adding turns out to be good

 

[zeorhymer]

New ending? No thanks. The ending for the game is very very good. Unless people want a happily ever after ending, pfft.

Oh yeah, there's always that one game that a guy would like to see rereleased, it's inevitable. For me it's always about the validity of the project. Nier had some things that needed to be fixed, so this is the second chance to make it the wholesome package it was always meant to be. And it deserves that second chance.

Thanks for posting. I played the original Neir on PS3 as well as Drakengard on PS2 and I'm thrilled to see the game world in such sharp clarity. Magical...

OMG, i just saw this. This is a wish list dream come true.

 

[MudoSkills]

I only played Nier after really getting into Automata and it absolutely fucked me up (in a good way).

A remake with Automata quality combat is real wish list territory.

When the game originally came out there was two version, one is Gestalt and another Replicant there is not much different between the two other than you play as father to Yonah in gestalt and as brother in replicant.

Another thing is don't worry about you need to play other to understand first game or Automata. Each game's world are connected but each game take place decade after, I'm pretty sure most people didn't know original NieR takes place after one of the ending in original Drakengard but that didn't stop them from enjoying the overall story.

i played the gestalt version and really enjoyed it i didn't know there were 2 versions i'm definitely looking forward to this.

 

[laynelane]

This is great news. I'm looking forward to picking this up.

 

[peronmls]

Yesss!!!

 

[celsowmbr]

I hope they, at least, give us a chance to play

the Aliens.

 

[NahaNago]

This is great since I never finished this game the first time around.

 

[The Alien]

That's cool and all.....but what about Scalebound?
It was the one game that woulda made be an XBox.

 

[michaelius]

Thank god they are changing combat. I remember it was so shitty I just set it to easy to not have to bother with it.

The Nier story is so damn convoluted that I'm on the fence about whether I should consider Yoko Taro a genius or a madman.
I can't think of another developer who looks at one possible ending of a game and says "right, let's make a franchise out of that".
Absolute madness.
