NieR Demo Brings Joyful Tidings And Christmas Cheer
The first set of the NieR: Automata videos will no doubt prove incredibly interesting to fans of the original. Revolving around the game’s combat, they first show a pair of characters walking around the post-apocalyptic game world, before then taking on enemies in the game’s action-oriented combat system. It certainly looks as though the game’s action has a more dynamic feel than the original, perhaps in keeping with Platinum Games’ development hist
Our very own Giuseppe recently had an interview with Tales of Berseria producer Yasuhiro Fukaya. Since the main female protagonist Velvet wears quite a revealing outfit, some of you might have been worried to see it censored when it comes to the west. Luckily, we got to directly ask the question to Fukaya-san and his answer on the topic was quite encouraging. You can read about it in the arti
In order to see the difference, we captured a few screenshots of the same situations within the demo both on a PS4 Pro and on a standard PS4 console, matching camera angles as well as possible and saving the shots in lossless PNG to achieve the best possible comparison.
The demo for NieR Automata DLC|https://nierautomatafans.com/: Automata is contained to the mission inside the factory and took about an hour to complete, though 45 minutes is probably more accurate if the player isn't constantly taking screenshots. During the demo 2B has only one companion that only communicates with her a few times. The humorous bickering among NPCs in Nier was something enjoyable about that game, but I must stress that just because it was absent in the demo does not mean anything regarding its absence or inclusion in the final game, though it would be disappointing if we do not get anything comparable to Grimoire Weiss and Kaine going back and forth. Nier is a personal favorite from the previous console generation, but looking at it objectively, it did have a few rough edges. A game cannot be judged on a single level demo, but the content of the demo indicates that Nier: Automata will present a world that is different from its predecessor but will retain its essence but with more refinement. The odd motif of covered eyes seems like it will be more prominent, and the graphics look to be of a much higher relative quality than the original. The overall soundtrack cannot be judged based on a single level, but what was included in the demo sounded like the natural progression of its predecessor's score. So nier, far, wherever you are , if you were a fan of Nier, this demo indicates that we can be optimistic about the upcoming sequel.
The difference appears to be less visible during cutscenes, where developers probably managed to squeeze a little more juice out of the standard PS4 due to the controlled rendering environment, bur it's still quite noticeable in elements like YoRHa 2B's hair.
It remains to be seen whether the title can have a larger influence on the gaming community as a whole, however. Although the original NieR , which itself was a spin-off of the Drakengard series, was fairly well received by players if not critics, Square Enix will no doubt have been disappointed to see the lack of mark that it left as a whole upon its release. Let’s see whether this new game delivers on its prom

Nier: Automata is a game fans of the series have been eagerly awaiting and even has a demo available. So what makes Nier so important and what does it have to offer gamers? Well, for one, the series is known for its dark tone (sorry Yoko) and almost horror-like storytelling with settings to match. The narrative of Nier and its parent game Drakengard have overly-depressing and somber narratives. Nothing good really happens in these games and it would be a safe bet that Nier: Automata will follow suit. The storytelling in these games is about as adult as they come (make sure kids aren’t around when playing). For anyone who hasn’t played the original Drakengard, go play it: it comes highly recommend. It wasn’t mind blowing by any means, but what it was doing for gaming was something drastically different.
As a series, it has managed to keep up with the times in good stride ( even if it got weirder along the way ). Nier and its predecessor Drakengard were both superb reflections of their time. Nier: Automata is already looking to address certain themes all too familiar for the times right now. Again, making a giant leap into the future, possibly to speak on what technology means for the world. How it shapes and effects our lives. It will be interesting to see where Automata goes because it will be the first game without human protagonist. Heroine 2B looks female, but like her counterpart S9 (looks male), they are both fully functioning machines. Not a single human thing about them, aside from looks (they both look dope). It will also be a game without blood, as far as what has been shown. Surprising as this series oozes blood; even the shades in Nier spouted fountains of gore. Yet even this design choice of focusing more on explosions than gore is important. Giving pause to thought, maybe Nier: Automata is saying something about our world in a clever way that is built into its world.
