as pointed out earlier, they've got:
-2 games that broke a million - MGR, Bayonetta
-1 that passed 800k - Vanquish
-Bayonetta 2 was basically free money from nintendo to help the Wii U
-Mad World, W101, and Anarchy Reigns prob all bombed. W101 hurts, but Mad World and Anarchy Reigns anyone could see bombing.
-Infinite Space sold out of its print run and got rare real quick
-Korra was apparently good enough for Activision to go back for seconds
This "platinum doesn't sell games" troll is not really panning out that well. They're doing a lot better than all the "put all your eggs in one basket" studios that have been eaten alive in the past several years. And people like them.

I have not played Nier. I've heard fantastic things about it especially plot wise. Totally intrigued by this news! Enix is killing it with these great announcements.
What?! WHAT?!!!!!jksfdgjiljlkg
Holy crap! YES!!!! This is it! Oh man! Nier was my favourite PS3 game. Sony, you have got yourself another PS4 sale! I will be there day 1! Wow! I can't believe they're doing this! Thank you! I am so happy!
Get out

it's a dream. it must be.
If they ever port it to PC, maybe! But I'm not holding my breath.
Well its a spoiler...
but you'd have to read grimoire nier, and know the plot twist after the second run to know everyone is basically fucked in the end...even if they are still breathing by the time the credits roll.
Yoko taro is just that kinda guy. It was the same with Drakengard 1 and D3 now that i think about it, although lets just pretend that one didn't come out.

I thought we were done with huge announcements.
Will buy immediately upon release.

Okay, just did, and I still don't get why anyone would want this game.

This is easily the strangest and most unpredictable E3 in a long while, I'll say that much.

Weird IP for SE to choose to do a sequel of.

Platinum doin' work
The best forever.
Because people loved Nier even through all its flaws? Became a cult classic especially in Japan?
The combat was people's only complaint. Now, Platinum handles that. It's perfect.
Holy shit this E3 is like a bunch of beautiful impossibilities suddenly becoming real. I am seriously over the moon about this in particular, Nier was one of, if not my favourite game of last generation, there was something so special about it. The emotions right now, wow. I feel like I'm dreaming. I never thought this would happen. Bizarro universe where Square Enix is not just out to hurt me, lol.
If they announce a follow up to Last Remnant and a sequel to Dragon's Dogma I'm going to seriously run out of my office screaming. Wishlist achieved.

This isn't real. We're all asleep.

great thing to post without tags in the thread where people are saying they've never played it before, even after acknowledging the spoiler.

"Nier was a great game but gameplay was meh. so let's call PG, plus this dude Yoshida and make a sequel!"
It's makes too much sense to be real, and yet here we are. Someone at SE needs a promotion.
Please don't toy with me. My puny little heart can only take so much.

die. You destroyed the system that managed the the shells of humanity, as well as the thing managing the "souls" of humanity.

Damn, just how big is Platinum? These guys have, off the top of my head...Dragonbound, Stafox, Nier 2 and the Transformers fighter.

I want to see how Platinum handle a fishing minigame.
The job this man is doing with Square is unreal
Considering a lot of people were worried about this guy taking over, the company has really turned around it's software pipeline.
