NieR Automata (aka Nieronetta) Catch-All

The Nier soundtrack is so good... How about getting Nier up on PSN and make it a PS+ title for a bit of cross promotion.

They are or are putting it up in Japan via PSN Now, but there hasn't been any word on that happening in the US.

I ask for selfish reasons since I don't have a copy on PS3 and my 360 is broke!

Wow totally missed this.

Square-Enix announced that this will release simultaneously on PC.

Well that's a pleasant surprise!

I should have been more specific: it'll be on Steam. I know that's the default platform on PC, but just in case.

Woohoo! I'll probably get it on PC too to play with pretty graphics and screenshots. I haven't double dipped on anything in a long time, but if any game can make me, NieR can.

Edit: What'll be nice is if they do some sort of collector's edition for PS4 that suckers me in, I can still just get the download version on Steam so I don't have to wait at launch.

Well now I'm interested!

I look forward to mass gifting this game to people during the 2018 Steam Summer Sale.

It would be nice if they could also release the original game on Steam...

*Groan* Noooooo... I'll spend too much during sales buying gifts...

I'm going through all the Gamescom stuff. I didn't see this in relation to the Steam announcement:

That's a little section from the IGN interview here:

Two different versions of that main theme:

Found most of all the videos and what not at nier2.com. The person there does a great job of getting any and all NieR Automata info.

Edit: That GIF is a little large at just under 4 MB, but I'm just going to leave it since the thread isn't all that image heavy.

Out 2/23/17 in Japan

There sure are some cool wtf snippets in that teaser.

I really need to go back and play NieR all the way through.
Too bad it's not available digitally.

So, if it's available Feb. 23rd in Japan, I wonder when the US release date will be. I sure hope it's not much later. I guess I'll still be knee deep in Persona 5 on Feb 23rd since that's out on the 14th.

Originally, it was announced for a simultaneously worldwide release. I'll be disappointed if they dropped that.

Yeah, I don't want to be tempted to make a Japanese PSN or Steam account.

The JP collector's edition is pretty cool:

I'll probably order whatever NA collector's edition they have for PS4 and also buy the Steam version.

Here's the regular Japanese box art:

Pretty cool. There have been tidbits of info coming out here and there. I sure hope they don't delay the North American version. They showed boar riding which looks more or less like the boar riding from the first game. You can also ride a moose.

Really cool illustration.

Now I remember what that cover was reminding me of.

NieR Automata is really just Kingdom Hearts 3 in disguise

Well, you just saved me $60. Thanks!

I'm pretty sure this is all I've ever wanted from a game. I just didn't know it until now.

Hey c'mon, the previous game had wild boar drifting. A moose almost feels like a step down, unless you can trick it out with chrome antlers.

Is this an action rpg? Not turn based ?

Yep. From the team behind Bayonetta.

Oh cool. Another game for the pile lol

New trailer and song shown at PSX. I'll post it here whenever it shows up on YouTube. They claimed a March 7th release date still, so we'll see how that goes.

Edit:
