Support NeoGAF

[NegativeCero]

Almost done with watching the original NieR. HUGE SPOILERS

Spoiler

Hahhahahahaha HOLY SHIT, Ending D choice deleting all your saves... HOLY FUCKING SHIT TARO, HOLY FUCKING SHIT. THAT'S... HOLY SHIT.

(got to that choice, had to post this, going back to watch the rest of Ending D. Bye)

Edit: Welp, that's that. Great game. Going to watch that Clemps analysis anyway.

Somehow I forgot that detail. God, Nier was so good. Everyone buy this if only to support that madman's future games.

 

[Durante]

So no good preorder discounts anywhere? If not I'll probably wait for impressions of the port and probably get it during the summer sale.

The best deal that's easily accessible globally seems to be 42€ at cdkeys right now.

 

[Xyber]

Is there any way to buy at UK prices from GMG?

Weird, it has always shown the UK prices for me in Sweden on my account I made way back to get the US prices when they had them (because it was often cheaper then the Euro prices for me).

 

[The Futurist]

Any support for 4k or ultra wide resolutions?

Have a 1080ti pre-ordered.

Would love to play this on my TV through my PC. Or on my ultrawide monitor.

 

[Parsnip]

Any support for 4k or ultra wide resolutions?

Unknown. Wouldn't get your hopes up for ultra wide at least, 4K seems probable but also not certain.

Is it showing £ prices for you in Sweden?

[SlaughterX]

Any deals on the PC version of this game or can it only be preordered through Steam?

I hope the PC version is a clear upgrade otherwise I might just get it for the PS4... wish we had some impressions of it already...

 

[The Dear Leader]

That Valve eye piece tho... I don't know if I even want this game but I do know that I want that pre-order bonus.

GreenManGaming.com if you have the VIP account you can get it for $49 I think. No idea what other sites to recommend that are legit.

Lol what, that's awesome. I like games that mess with the player in real life (Undertale and MGS to a certain extent comes to mind)

Really hoping the PC port's cut-scenes are real time

Yoko Taro's games and Toby Fox's games are not dissimilar, the creators share the same actual question of violence, tropes and death in games and deconstructing it in their works in unique ways.

I would not be surprised if Toby got inspiration from Yoko, and Yoko himself was very interested in Undertale for a while.

 

[Momentary]

Really hoping the PC port's cut-scenes are real time

They are not going to be more than likely. It's going to be very jarring if this game supports arbitrary resolutions. One minute 4K-5K Anti-Aliasing heaven. The next minute, BAM!!! PS4 Pro cutscenes. Gives me nightmares just thinking about it.

Joking aside, it's really no big deal. This is coming from a guy that plays shoot'em ups on PC that don't have any AA and sometimes can't even display 1080p.

Pro itself only supports PS4's base cut-scenes, so they aren't even rendered at 1080p of the gameplay sections but 900p :/

Platinum needs some work in their optimization department, i dunno why though, they used to do prerendered cut scenes so well in Bayonetta and their other last gen works

900p and no anti aliasing. yeah its gunna be quite bad if thats the case.

$49.29 on GMG

Oh damn.. I take back what I said about joking about having nightmares.

Bayoneta's cutscenes are real time at 30 FPS.

 

[DarkestHour]

Waiting to see how PC version is before I make decision with platform to buy on. I should probably try the PS4 demo while I can as this will be my first Nier game.

 

[Shengar]

I'm aware of that, I mean PC, digitally.

On steam, game is unavailable in my region currently.

Dragon's Dogma also wasn't available to most East and Southeast Asia initially, and I hope it was a case of that.

 

[Exentryk]

I hope Denuvo doesn't mess with mods. That's my biggest concern.

 

[Inuhanyou]

Bayoneta's cutscenes are real time at 30 FPS.

ah yeah, i meant to say real time in the last sentence, not prerendered

 

[duckroll]

I see Square Enix still hasn't deemed my country worthy of giving them money for this game. Why am I so foolish, thinking that if I bitch enough they'll actually want my business. Lulz.

Don't know if something is up with the JP Steam version, but I've seen Saito comment a few times about it. But even then, don't know if the Asian version is somehow linked to the JP version or not.

Japan page isn't up yet I think. Keep faith

That's what he's alluding to.

Wow it sounds kinda messy. He was supposed to go with Yoko Taro to PAX but he said he can't leave because they're still working on the Steam version and he still doesn't know if it can be released (in time). I wish them all the best.

[prudislav]

Usually it does not to certain degree (the usual asset swap should be fine , but stuff like durante's dsfix or script extender for Skyrim will be impossible). But still in my case Denuvo was last straw to not to get it on launch 😕 (regional prices and locks , uncertain port quality and now this drm)

well kinda worrying in this regard to be is the change in wording usually they say "Anti-tamper tech" from Denuvo Solutions , but in NieR case it has completely changed wording aka "Content protection Tech" from Sony DADC 😰

I'm not giving them money if they keep blocking my Steam region.

I won't even bother with the PS4 version even though it's available on PSN.

Yeah, we'll just have to see how it goes. I'll be buying it coz I really want the game, even though I'm not happy supporting their practices.

FWIW, standard Denuvo does not prevent rerouting dll calls, so 95% of the features of DSFix would still be implementable. Just not the framerate unlock.
Something like the script extender is out though.

 

[longdi]

So what happend to the coming soon Japan news? Been a week, is Asia getting the steam version?

 

[SlaughterX]

GreenManGaming.com if you have the VIP account you can get it for $49 I think. No idea what other sites to recommend that are legit.

is a VIP account free?

 

[sense]

Sony marketing deal must be stopping them from releasing in certain regions.

 

[Dragon1893]

is a VIP account free?

Yes, it's just a fancy name, all it takes is creating an account.

 

[Cannon Goose]

According to a post on the Steam forums, fellow Australians can buy this from the Square Enix site, which has it listed for $59.99 AUD.

I have no idea if that is And or not as it doesn't say. GMG may still be the better price for me.

It's AUD. And I kid you not:

Take away and the "J" and what do you get? "G'day".

 

[DXLelouch153]

soon my fellow PC gamers

...soon

 

[Exentryk]

JP Page seems to be up, but still nothing for Asia. Welp! Could it related to Chinese localisation, as I recall there was a version for that releasing in April on PlayStation?

 

[True Fire]

I hope Denuvo doesn't mess with mods. That's my biggest concern.

Same. I loved Automata, but I look forward to playing it again with some serious texture overhauls. Possibly even grass and flora overhauls, if they can be done with Denuvo and 0 mod tools

 

[Kanann]

Asia version need more time to put Chinese and Korean language?

 

[Izuna]

I am getting this version and I hope I can get it to run on the Surface Book.

 

[Vazra]

I would like to see pics of the graphic options.

Nier Automata is already released in Asia on PSN in Japanese/English. The cheaper English/Chinese/Korean version in April is the second release. Stop making excuses for Square Enix. They clearly just don't want our business and they're making it clear. It doesn't matter how good the game is, but if they don't want to sell it, we don't need to buy it! #FuckNier

 

[petethepanda]

I was always interested in this game, but hearing stuff like this over the last few days might finally get me to pick it up.

 

[Exentryk]

Yeah, true. Really weird on why it isn't available for Asia on Steam then.

 

[spiritfox]

Asia? Where's that?

Maybe its their way of funneling all the users to PSN/PS4.

Konami also held back the release of PES2017 and PES2015 on Steam in Malaysia (but not PES2016 which I was able to get on release day).

Must have missed the memo where S-E became a dog servant subsidiary of SCEJA. My bad.
