And yes, they confirmed it will run at 60fps during the conference.

What is Nier: Automata?

The original Nier is a very unique action RPG that struck a chord with many passionate gamers when it came out five years ago. The story revolves around the main protagonist Nier as he searches for a cure for his daughter who is infected with the Black Scrawl virus, a seemingly incurable disease.
To this day, gamers around the world still talk about Nier fondly and the soundtrack and design book are still selling so there’s clearly something special about it. If you haven’t played the original Nier, do try and track down a copy because it has one of the most memorable and emotional casts, stories, and music in recent memory.

Nier: Automata is the next game in the Nier franchise and it’s a collaboration between Square Enix and PlatinumGames. You probably recognize PlatinumGames’ distinct action style in the gameplay trailer but if you look closely, you’ll be able to spot gameplay elements from the original Nier as well. It’s still an action RPG so don’t worry if you want more RPG mechanics in the game, they’re still there!

I keep hearing it again and again and I still can't belive we are getting a Nier Sequel by Platinum

Sora the Cat · Oct 29, 2015

I never played the first Nier, but that looks like a classic platinum game already, I'm sold.

This. Expecting the game to come out in a timely fashion. Looks fucking ace. Star Fox (I pray it's good), Scalebound and Nier 2 next year - so glorious. Platinum for everyone!

Bless.
Need some of that OST.

Blackage · Oct 29, 2015

Er, did the first Nier play like that? Do I need to go back and buy it? lol.

Solbringer · Oct 29, 2015

It's... It's beautiful.

I never though we would ever get a NieR sequel yet here we are.

Napalm_Frank · Oct 29, 2015

I have no idea why this is a project that exists but I'm glad for the fans. I'll prolly support it if it gets good reviews.

I guess NieR port for PS4/PC is not going to happen.

It definitely did not play like that.
