I have such a massive boner for this game. I just hope that it'll have a reasonably good PC port.

Also I can't wait to drift some hogs.

Same day as the console release. March 7th, I think?

Does "witch time" not slow down time anymore? Cause that's suuuuper lame.

Not all Platinum games have witch time.

All the Platinum games I've played and/or seen have had a defensive mechanics which made the "whooozh" sound and slowed down time.

If there isn't a defensive mechanic that slows down time in this, then I'll be somewhat disappointed.

There's a pod ability that slows time so witch time would make that redundant

I just really liked when previous Platinum games slowed time every time I times a dodge/parry well, to show me that I did good.
It felt good that way.

Trick Question posted:

I'm willing to bet that it'll be one of the upgrade chips you slot into your character, since that's how it has worked in platinum games where you don't have it by default.

Yeah. I'm hoping for that being an upgrade at least.

Really? Good to hear.
I haven't played the Demo myself, cause I don't own a console, but I watched a friend play and he didn't get the slowdown once. Which is why I assumed that it wasn't a thing.

That's exactly how I like it. Hopefully that chip won't be too far into the game.

playing the first nier is enough. there are connections to the drakengard series but you arent going to be lost not having played them. also nier is a much better game than any of the drakengards, imo

Are there any well made and complete Nier LPs? I don't own a console but I'd like to get a full experience out of Automata.

They need to release Vanquish on PC. I'd buy that without a second thought.

No news for PC version, but “There is a very high possibility” of a NieR remaster if Automata “sells like hotcakes” :allears:

I wouldn't really mind a delayed PC version but I hope that the port will be good at least. It would be a shame to get a lovely PC port after all this.

I'd be surprised if this doesn't run on the same tech as MGR, bayonetta etc.

(MGR worked great)

MGR had a pretty decent port. If Automata runs as well as MGR did on PC then I'll be satisfied.

Have they revealed any details about different playable characters?
I know that there are going to be 3 of them but will you be able to switch between them or do you play different characters at the different points in the story? I'm curious about how that is going to work.

Not really been elaborated on. They've been playful about even being able to play as A2 even, despite it not really being in doubt.

I remember hearing something about having to complete the game 3 times to get all the endings (from that 30 minute long gameplay, video I think) so maybe you'll unlock new character at the end of your first playthrough and you'll have to complete the game as each character to get all the endings?

Whenever it is, I can understand them not announcing a set date (even if it releases same day as the PS4 version). Marketing is completely focused on the PS4. PS4 is where they expect to make the big bucks and they're probably worried about losing sales to piracy on the PC.

Understandable, to be honest. Especially considering that Japanese devs don't seem to be aware of Denuvo or don't like to use it some some reason..

I might be grasping at straws here but based on the wording from this article it seems like PC release should be soon-ish after console release?
I wouldn't mind waiting a month or two...in a sound and internet-proof bunker to avoid spoilers.
