Gimme now.
I'm almost completely sure it's UE4 based on the particle effects.
Drakengard 3 was in UE3, but that was Access Games and they're probably no longer going to be making titles with Taro.

Super hyped for this game, I want a 2B figure for the collectors edition but please let it also be available on Amazon and not just Square Enix store exclusive >_>.
Ooh great! Looks good and thanks a bunch Raven.
Off topic: I hope 8-4 does it. Have you noticed how the flow of dialogue in DD flows? How the unnatural silence that usually occurs in all localisations isn't really there but when present it makes sense. As how the characters are actually taking a second to gather themselves before responding?
As for changing Zero to an angry ass instead of an apathetic ass? Big whoop.
Also, Mikhail is way better in English and that isn't something I say often in localisations only one I can remember now is Fran from FFXII but FFXII was awesome through an through...I want HD remaster SE :3
So yeah, barring to many memes, I'm hoping for 8-4 localisation.

Itll probably be SE exclusive
I hope the CE doesnt have a figure so itll be a normal play arts release that can be ordered from stores that don't annoy me and you.It's kind of a big deal since it's the main character and the story is incredibly important in a Taro game.
That being said, I do agree with you, despite all my criticisms on the last page. 8-4 did a great job despite the misstep.

Itll probably be SE exclusive
You're right, I would prefer that and that way I don't have to pay over $30 for shipping like with Drakengard 3 CE. I still can't believe that NieR: Automata exists and that it looks this good
Saito said a few months ago it'll be around the same time FFXV releases.

Nah, Drakengard3 was UE3. Nier I'm pretty sure used whatever proprietary engine Cavia had built for themselves. One of the main reasons I doubt it was Unreal was that NIer was one of a rare number of titles that ran almost identically on PS3 and 360, whereas almost without fail MS machine got a sizeable advantage from that engine.
Its also worth noting that Nier took a long, long time to make. It started life as an early Xbox exclusive before being shifted to both systems for its release in 2010.
Interesting. I always felt like Nier had the look of a UE3 title. If that's the case I'll amend my post.

So happy to finally get some more info and gameplay. Man I don't think I could be any more hyped for this game. This is probably SE's best JRPG of the year, not FFXV.
Completely blatant port beg.

Not that I don't enjoy the Activision games, but God it's good to see a big budget Platinum game again. Those animations are beautiful, and 2B looks like so much fun to play as. All that zooming around the battlefield reminds me of Zone of the Enders 2 on foot.
I only played the first game last year after the Automata announcement at E3, and I'm so happy Platinum's doing the gameplay this time around. Nier is one of the most frustrating, unenjoyable games I've ever played, but the world and the story were compelling enough that I forced myself through it. Teaming the people who created that world and story up with a developer that actually knows how to make video games (my absolute favourite developer, no less) is a dream come true. This is an easy day one for me. Hope it's still on for 2016.

Yoshida hips always make the games and characters better.
And I'm saying it didn't matter
There's also so much more to localisations than that. The flow of dialogue is more important, to me here, than how the VA portrayed Zero. As I don't find that the difference is that big. The apathy can clearly be seen in the English a well how Zero nearly feels to tired and often to pissed because she has to care.
But we're basically markings words to no avail since it looks like we both liked it so instead we should send threats of hugs and big kisses to the whoever it is that'll localise this entry.

It is surpassing Horizon Zero Dawn for me as most anticipated RPG.

So what's the release date for this again. Looks great so far and yoshida is doing what yoshida does best.

This looks awesome. The visuals and animations are a lot better than I was expecting, especially the former.

Yeah it looks REALLY good for 60fps. Not just a bunch of narrow corridors either.

Hopefully this won't derail the thread, but what's the likelihood of this turning up on the NX? Is Sony footing the bill at all?

Tentatively "2016" and "approximately close to the release window of FFXV" were the last things said about this game's release window.

Port begging always derails a thread. But to answer your question SE has not ruled out the possibility of going to other platforms so I assume Sony isn't paying...yet.

Some particles look similar indeed, but I'm sure it's another custom engine for Platinum.
There's a possibility, albeit small. Last news were S-E saying it was an exclusive for now but there's nothing against a port on NX/PC/X1 (wouldn't make sense on the latter though) later.
So temporary exclusive at worst, and nobody can announce anything for NX now anyway.
Well, it's the only comment we have so far regarding a release date. And considering the game started development in 2014, it isn't too unlikely.

You think Yoko Taro wouldnt release the game on September 30 just for the lulz? You underestimate this man.
I would be shocked if it releases within 30 days of XV

Everything about this game is just incredibly sexy. Easily in my top 5 most anticipated titles this gen. Cannot fucking wait.
Just as an aside, it also bleeds over into Drakengard considering how connected the two are
