American Nier? 100% not, since he's not canon. Japanese Nier? 99% unlikely, it wouldn't follow Taro Yoko's style.

oh fuck, I hope they make western version reference old Nier.

Papa Nier > Bro Nier.

 

[Hektor]

we don't know, but seems like the girl from the trailer is the main character, so maybe not?
He should appear, or atleast linked to the story. It's Nier afterall.

Heavy spoilers

Spoiler

The last Ending D had him sacrificing himself and beeing forgotten for eternity like he never existed. I dont think he'll show up.

GODDAMN WE GOT DA HINTS

DA HIIINNNTSSS

JFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

 

[mugwhump]

My god, SE killed it. This sounds amazing. If it stays exclusive this will push me into a PS4

It's really quite amazing they got these people together for a sequel of a game that didn't even sell well. (insert a joke about platinum games never selling)

what if platinum's bomba cancels out niers bomba and it becomes a mega-hit
like multiplying negative numbers

I tried to translate that message at the end:

Using this:

And came up with this (I think it's right?):
NINGIO(U or V?) (E or H?)ITO KIKAI

So detective GAF, what does it mean?

Doll, Human, Machine?
Nice

 

[Foxix Von]

I almost cried.

I'm so happy right now.

 

[Footos22]

Oh my. In my veins.

Those runes translate to Ningiou (Ningyou) Hito Kikai. The Human Dolls' Opportunity.

[Reveirg]

Yoko Taro = insane characters, story and direction
Akihiko Yoshida = amazing art
Platinum = top tier battle system
Keiichi Okabe = GOD OF MUSIC

This is one hell of a dream team.

Dream team indeed.

 

[Loudninja]

So this is another unexpected game,this E3 is really crazy.

 

[jimmythepage]

How do you know? I would love it, but how do you know?

Care to share what SE is making?

wait, wait, it's just assumption on their recent trend, like the FFVII remake, their partnership with Sony seems to have no issue with PC ports.

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

Good lord Sony. It really is the PS2 era all over

 

[Sera O]

They're going to get Emi Evans again, right? They have to..

It seems likely she would return - she was featured prominently on Drakengard 3's soundtrack too, so the relationship is there.

If they follow that ending. We'll see if they choose C or D, although yeah, Taro seemed to be biased towards D for Bro Nier.

Very interesting, thanks

Yes, looks insanely promising!

Nier's story and music was top-notch, but obviously a lot of rough edges in gameplay and art.

This could be one for the ages.

Holy shit i JUST bought Nier 1 last week! Moving that up the backlog in honor of this announcement... loved Drakengard 1 even though i couldnt beat the final final boss. Bastard.

So, maybe it references scrapped ending E?

Spoiler

wasn't it about a robotic tree that can create Replicants, and he brings back Nier, or something like that? Can't remember the details exactly.

 

[Dragon1893]

I mean, seriously, is this real life? What in the actual fuck is going on? This can't be real life.

 

[Hi i'm Caleb]

Please hold me I was not prepared. I love Nier so much.

 

[BouncyFrag]

What!?! This is a case for me not realizing I wanted something until it was announced. I'll dust off my 360 to re-re-replay the original when this game is a few months out. Best e3 ever going on now folks!!

 

[Uno Venova]

Good lord Sony. It really is the PS2 era all over

If there are no delays we could end up getting a year like 2001 PS2.

 

[harSon]

Out of the obscure franchises released last generation to give a sequal too, I'm surprised they didn't decide to move forward with The Last Remnant. It sold pretty damn well considering it was 360/PC, and had a lot of promise as a franchise IMO.

I guess that's the meaning of the camera noise when she blinks?

One day I'll get back on that game, I loved it's premise.

 

[Jomjom]

Sony finally has it's first Platinum exclusive? AKIHIKO YOSHIDA?!?!!?!?!? AKA THE BEST EMPLOYEE AT SQUARE ENIX?!?!?!

 

[Principate]

Good lord Sony. It really is the PS2 era all over

Indeed, this E3 has just sold a PS4 to me, I was really struggling in justifying getting one considering the general over lap in games I'm interested in coming to PC, but that has confirmed that Ps4 will get there, eventually. SE basically single-headedly sold me on it.

dayum that was quick

 

[XxSlasherMcGirkxX]

Lol ign stream. "The trailer seems really dark and somber, which was never what Nier was about." (paraphrasing here)

XFD

 

[CamHostage]

The thing I like most about this is that it's a game of scale from PlatinumGames. They've done insane action games (and made a few long and maybe overlong games in a genre that usually comes up short,) but there's not been a big, epic quest game, and that's something missing from a company that has roots in Clover (I'm thinking Okami) and before that Capcom. I like what Clover does, but its games tend to be too demanding for me in most of my moods, but give me good and challenging gameplay over a longer haul and I'm down for the ride.

 

[boredandlazy]

After the square conference ended YouTube automatically went to the IGN recap... And it was 3 of the guys from the famous 50 inch resolution gif. Wasn't surprised when they seemed clueless about Nier.
According to them the last gen of consoles is apparently known as 'the 360 gen'.

 

[IAmRandom31]

Never will there be a more insane conference for a system then this E3 for the PS4. Goodness lord. Its just non-stop.

This could end up being my favorite generation ever.

wrong kikai, I think.

there's no ' in that case, so

the human doll machine?

 

[Lee Chaolan]

So many big names, reminds me in a way of the Dream team that worked on Chrono Trigger, but modern times.

Can't wait.

 

[Soi-Fong]

Honestly, if this was announced during the Sony conference along with Persona 5, that may have been too many announcements really.

[jonjonaug]

Now the kicker: ONLY on PS4, or PS4 console exclusive but also on PC? This would finally push me over the line into buying a PS4 if the former is the case.

 

[Zukuu]

I'm sad to see that we play as a anime girl. I want a father NieR-typ main character. Maybe they will change it for the west. Would be interesting to play as a rough women, that isn't size 0.

Thank you <3

I'm annoyed we don't know the subtitle yet there is definitely is one.

 

[Psycho_Mantis]

I think its Yonah. Kaine's eyes are a different colour iirc.

 

[Jarlaxle]

Guess I'll have to pick up a PS4 at some point for this and Uncharted4. So glad to get more Nier.

 

[Jomjom]

I do have one question though. Noses or no noses?

 

[Rats Off To Ya]

After the Kinda Funny exodus, they're all IGN's got.

 

[Lee Chaolan]

NieR 2? Platinum?

What

I can't

Huh?

*takes out wallet*

Where do I?

Throwing money at the screen doesn't seem to work yet =/
