Yoko Taro Making New Game with NieR Leads, But 'It Might Be NieR, It Might Not Be NieR'

Whatever it turns out to be I'll be there with bells on (and tissues because NieR and NieR adjacent stuff makes me cry)

If its another mobile game I'm going to be very upset.

I hope it's another nier

Please make another Drakengard😭🙏

So nearly Nier not so far.

10 bucks says it is a mobile game.

Missed opportunity in the subheading to say news coming in the 'nier' future 😉

@Ardath_Biru Unrelated to this news but I'm loving your AGsys profile picture 👊🧡

I'm an Assegai man myself but AG is the next preference 😁 f**k those Feiser simps!

A game with Nier characters, but not a Nier game? So, Drakengard then?

You might say, news is coming in the... Nier future...? 🫠

I started NieR, but then I read that there were 26 endings and quit immediately. Maybe I should start it again since everyone is praising it and just stick with the ending I get.

@TheAmbienWalrus Hmmmm... Assegai, nippy but weak shields, keep hammering that absorb button! Feisar is strictly noobs only.

It could be a game about a turkey having an existential crisis and i'd buy it because of this team.

If it's Drakengard 3 remake with the original voice cast, WHICH YOU SHOULD PLAY, I will flip every table I find in a 3 mile radius out of excitement

@Martijn87 Nier has 5 endings (ending E was added into the game as part of the remake, and was originally a short story released after the game).

nier automata has 26 endings, most of which are jokes and take 5 minutes to get. Some of are annoying, however are worth it to get ending E.

Might be Nier, but not be Nier? Ok so it's a new Drakengard lol. Or maybe a new IP.

Well whatever it is, i hope it's a console game. Heck, i'm okay if they remastered Drakengard 1-3 ala Nier Replicant.

@Ardath_Biru So true. I'll start using AGsys more often in your honour 😌.

Really wish that PS tournaments thing included Wipeout a game that really deserves some "live-service" love. But I guess it's standalone nature makes it a delicious, complete package of pure speed.

I hope yoko taro takes ideas from stellar blade. I want a vast selection of sexy costumes for female character, i want unreal engine 5 but we all know japanese devs are scared of using western technology so that will be a miss, and i want to be able to see panty shots unlike 2B telling me no no lol.

A new nier automata would be cool.or whathever it is.its all good wword up son

@Martijn87 There's only 5 endings, with the fifth one being the real one. The rest are joke endings. And don't worry about trophies, if you don't want to grind them out there's literally an NPC you can buy them from after reaching the fifth ending. None of the endings are missable. Give it a try if you like games with good stories because NieR Automata might have the best one I've ever played.

@Martijn87 second to AndyKazama's point about the way the endings work and only 5 of them being proper endings, note that you have to achieve A-E sequentially to actually complete the games properly.

For example the A ending in Automata is only the first fifth of the game but you need it to do before you can do the other routes to get the whole picture.

@PuppetMaster I'm down with a remaster of the Drakenguard games too but only if they make them from the ground up and make them shorter. lol.

@LowDefAl @BIG3 @AndyKazama thanks for clearing that up. Also great they aren't missable, I'm definitely going to give it a go again.

This has been teased since late last year… come on guys, put me out of my misery already.

If it’s not a new NieR game, I’m going serious red-eye on them.

Anything Yoko Taro does is guaranteed to be a good (and sad) time.

Either Nier or new Drakengard game would be fine for me

@Martijn87 once you beat Nier Automata you get chapter select nothing is missable

@Martijn87 it’s also worth getting A-E because the game does change with each play through, so you aren’t completely playing the same thing five times. I NEVER replay a game right after beating it the first time. I beat it all five times back to back and was sad there wasn’t more.

@Martijn87 I had the same problem, but trust me, it's all worth it. The game became one of my favorite games.

As other's have said, some endings are jokes and easy to get. Dying right at the start of the game is an Ending. Walking off in a certain direction during a story beat is an Ending.

I don't even think you have to start the game all over after getting the Ending as the Ending is more of an elaborate "Game Over" screen (been a while since I played, though).

But that story...oh man that story.... If you like philosophical storylines, then you have got to keep going.

opportunity for sub header lost:

news coming in the nier future.

Recently played Nier Automata for the first time and it was amazing. Looking forward to eventually playing Replicant and this new game too.

Considering his reciprocated love for Stellar blade's director, we can dream of a crossover (which I'll never happen, but i'd live to be proven wrong)

@GamingFan4Lyf @Odium that sounds all good to me. Can't wait to start a playing it. Thanks for sharing your experiences.

It's probably Nier, but can you imagine if they gave them the keys to Final Fantasy XVII or something?

If it was somehow possible to remake drakengard 1-3 from scratch and make it one good game. And get shiftup involved because Stellar Blade is gorgeous!
