Drakengard 3 - 1st Promotion Video Trailer

Huh. I still can't decide if I like this game or not. Never got a chance to play Nier, sadly. The graphics didn't seem too bad in that game. This - for some reason - still stands out to me as worse. Maybe it's my brain playing tricks on me. Oh well. I'll look into it come release. 
the original drakengard is a hack and slash game with light rpg elements and riding a drgon stuff
dunno about 2 or 3, but I figure it's about the same
drakengard 1 is really, really weird (among the weirdest "mainstream" game I've played, think killer7 levels of weird), with very dark themes and just so out of the ordinary it's super engaging. and the music is like out of tune hellish, it's awesome. gameplay is really dull and repetitive but you feel like there's some sort of point to it, and you basically play the game for the story.
I wouldn't say it's a bad game, it's just a very particular game meant for certain people
nier is much better at mixing the weird with the accessible, and imo a fantastic game overall.
drake2 I dunno, haven't played it
but really these are games played because they're weird, dark, insane, disgusting, depressing, absurd, etc.
I've enjoyed drake1 but I wouldn't easily recommend it
Because of Nier.

This is awesome.
This is awesome.
Most definitely, really like her design.
This is awesome.
yeah , top notch allure :v and what's her face is badass
ahh I guess that's kinda unfortunate for me..Hack and slash isn't my cup of tea.
I really wish cavia/post-cavia would put pants on their female characters
I really liked kaine but it just doesn't help me put her under the "strong characters" category simply because of her dressing (or lack thereof)
I'm not a fan of dynasty warriors, and I wasn't a fan of drake1's gameplay (tho I get the feeling the game is purposedly monotone, making you feel like a murderous drone just hacking away), but the beautiful mess that was drake1's story was worth it
I imagine the new game will be a lot better and more enjoyable

drake1 was basically dynasty warriors x panzer dragoon on acid

nope. believe it or not but there are DoD fans pre-Nier.
Game is great for it's story, the characters, the way it destroyed what you normally expected in jrpgs at the time. The soundtrack is also unique. It's not for everyone. Kind of has a creepy factor.
Gameplay-wise it's like musou games. I personally liked it. Also I loved the dragon battles.
DoD2 didn't have as crazy of a story as the first. The music was better and not as experimental as the first game. It has a hauntingly beautiful sound.

Animations need more work, looks bad too.

Well that wasn't a flattering trailer. This game is definitely going to be niche here in the states which makes me think combined with what we know about the game it'll never come over here.
yeah furiae also had a proper outfit but drake1 & 2 were released 10 years ago
WTF are you talking about.
lately cavia's female leads in kaine, zero and V are all pretty exploitative. one is a lot better, I like her
but then again she's too young to be half naked, I think
Don't jinx it. just don.t.
This game doesn't really need awesome animation.
This is one of those games 'Just bring it here and here, take my wallet' type of game, regardless of how shitty it looks.

don't have sound right now, but i hope it's not generic anime blabla.
as expected, it doesn't look better than a musou game. that part with the ship was hideous. day one if localized.

Was that the voice of Slayer from Guilty Gear in that trailer? Well now I HAVE to get this game.

That's true, but still, Square-Enix has become such a predictable giant, that risky low profic localizations like this will most probably be skipped. Just cater the Kingdom Hearts / Final Fantasy crowd and be done with it.

The voice acting is way too dramatic, imo.

That's much higher quality CGI than Nier had.
How.
Looks a lot better than initial reveal, still not a good looking game but looks like I something I'd actually play. Cutscenes look nice.
Looking at this linkedin profile same guy who's working on FFXIV and LR is working on cutscenes here, I think this is about realtime cutscenes and not the CG ones. Still CG ones could be by Visual works.
Him being an engineer at Square Enix probably means the entire of game isn't made by Access Games.

Yeah. Crap graphics and not too hot looking gameplay but those two were expected.
Day zero.
Day zero.
Probably hundreds of years old and all that.
