Are you a big fan of NieR: Automata but never had the chance to go back and play the original game in the series? You're already in luck thanks to the fact that NieR Replicant is getting a PlayStation 4 remaster. However, better yet is that Square Enix plans to overhaul its combat system to appeal to those who enjoyed the sequel.
Revealed in a new issue of Famitsu and reported on by GamesTalk.net, PlatinumGames' Takahisa Taura will oversee an overhauled combat system so that fans of Automata can feel right at home. New content is going to be added to the base experience to make it feel like more than "just" a remaster, while certain songs will be extended and entirely new ones implemented. Voice work will be re-recorded and the actors who played 2B and 9S are even involved.
Do you like the sound of this? Would you play a much-expanded NieR Replicant on PS4? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Yeah bring it on.
Nice one, I heard the combat in the last one was pretty awful. Looking forward to this, Automata is one of this generations finest games.
I would love a Automata-style combat for this remaster, certain buy for me.
Automata's combat was excellent so I'm looking forward to this.
That’s very good news! I honestly couldn’t bring. Myself to finish the original one because it had too many problems but I enjoyed Automata.
I didn't mind the combat in NieR though adding some of the spells into combos could tank the framerate at times. Automata was a massive disappointment for me besides the combat so I'm just happy the better game (imho) is getting the chance to reach a wider audience.
The first nier has good story but not great gameplay and graphics, I'm glad squareenix remaking this game. I'm really like nier automata (platinum it) so I'll definitely try this 😃
Nice. I'm a big fan of Nier Automata, so I'm really excited to see a remake of the previous game.
Automata had great combat, this was a no-brainer. All time top 5 games for me.
Best of two worlds, the story of Nier and combat from Nier Automata.
Ok, now I'm interested.
Can't wait for this
Looking forward to some Yoko Taro madness and brain melting storyline. If the gameplay and music are half as good as Automata, it will still be a masterpiece. Hopefully we'll get gestalt remaster within a year
@b1ackjack @kyleforrester87 It really wasn't that bad once you learned enough spells. Still, this will be nice.
Played the original extensively so was on the fence. This definitely heightens the appeal. Really hope there's a little more story or some better side quests. That will make it amazing.
@wiiware You say it has not great gameplay but you have yet to try? I enjoyed the gameplay and story both. Graphics were the downside for me as they felt basic, even for ps3 standards.
if it was for PS5 i would buy day one. Being that its PS4 with BC I will wait till I clear my back log or its $19.99 whatever comes first.
