Day one fo sure

Well, don't need to play this in RPCS3 anymore unless this goes the way of GTA IV for no reason.

Although I don't think it will be benefitting too much from the remaster treatment (unless they're incorporating both 'versions' of the game), I'm not complaining... will almost certainly pick up a physical copy, but as great as that special edition sounds I can't justify that sort of money.

If they don't improve the fishing mechanics, I WILL punch them.

And preferably give us an option to play as the father instead of the brother.

 

[Tom Bombadildo]

I've always meant to play this, never got around to it though, so I suppose will make it easier vs having to emulate it.

 

[KingVamp]

Pretty certain that it was confirmed that it was only one version. Either way, it should and I hope it includes both versions.

 

[Jayro]

I liked Automata. Hopefully I'll like this game too.

 

[proffk]

Just watched the livestream and noticed that the xbox one version can be upgraded to xbox series X according to the box art. No ps5 version.

 

[MaxToTheMax]

I will make the inevitable post that follows any news about something be ported for other systems.....

Where is the switch port?

 

[GenNaz]

Pretty stoked for this, especially since we didn't get this particular version of Nier in the West before. I didn't much like Automata but the original is the GOAT. Kinda odd that every platform version of the Limited Edition comes with a digital copy of the game and yet also comes with a steelbook. Seems kinda silly.

And I thought Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Remix Final Chapter Prologue was a stupid name

 

[Lazyboss]

I'm so excited for the this game, played it on PS3 many times, but i really preferred gestalt instead of replicant, playing as the father was more convincing than the brother.

I liked Automata. Hopefully I'll like this game too.

Ready your tears then, the first game story is even more heart breaking than automata.

 

[CrossOut]

I wish they would make a standard version that has the steelbook case. I find this never happens with many games and you always have to buy the special edition that costs far to much. I will stick with the standard version of this game.

You could always shoplift a copy, if your concerns are purely cost.

My depression is ready!

Do you know what do these numbers mean?

It's the square root of 1.5.

I don't

 

[Hyro-Sama]

Outside of Dragon Quest, this is the only other Square-Enix published franchise I'll give my hard earned dollars to. I'll have to settle for the standard edition because their store is a shitshow when delivering to Canada.

 

[DarthDub]

I bought Nier Automata today.
