Support NeoGAF

[TomcatTheLion]

Excellent news.

Hopefully it isn't too far into 2014.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

A little surprised its coming over to the west. Will keep my eye out for it.

 

[Despera]

Nier 2!

aww yiss!

 

[raven777]

the character descriptions on the site here http://www.drakengardgame.com/

I wonder if they're censoring things already ^.^

If I remember correctly there should be a description with Four that says "She is the only virgin among her sisters."

 

[Honey Bunny]

Just for today..SE..you're alright.

 

[Pooya]

If I remember correctly there should be a description with Four that says "She is the only virgin among her sisters."

yeah, Apostles are the main thing though, can't wait until they add them

What does ESRB Privacy Certified mean btw? it's rated but hidden from public to see?

 

[Mr.Fresh]

Now put the first two on PSN.

 

[SolidSnakex]

http://www.esrb.org/privacy/index.jsp

The game is basically a lock to be M rated unless it receives the most extensive censoring that we've ever seen in a game.

 

[Kagari]

Yeah... when I first heard this was coming over I was shocked. We didn't even get Type-0... yet ;-;

 

[RyoonZ]

Best thing Square Enix done since Nier!!!

 

[Clear]

Most fap-worthy news of the month for me

 

[TGMIII]

Yeah... when I first heard this was coming over I was shocked. We didn't even get Type-0... yet ;-;

Any reason why you were shocked? I've been expecting the announcement for a while now and I'm sure an EU publisher announcement will follow sometime soon.

 

[Kater]

Screens:

Looks so good! :]

Edit: Only for PS3, damn.

 

[Ignis]

Amazing news! I was afraid we'd be missing out on D3.
Looking forward to the story and soundtrack and hoping the gameplay flow will be closer to Nier than the first two games.

 

[Avallon]

Looks so good! :]

Will it be released for PS3 and 360?
I might just lend me the console of a friend to play this but he only has a 360.

I honestly doubt this will see a release on Xbox, but who knows.

 

[Kagari]

Any reason why you were shocked? I've been expecting the announcement for a while now and I'm sure an EU publisher announcement will follow sometime soon.

Because the series is super niche and SE wouldn't even publish their own Bravely Default?

 

[Minions]

Looks like I'm going to have to Pony up and buy this.... I said I would if they ever released it stateside. Day 1.

 

[funkystudent]

Its really good to see Square Enix is finally supporting the ps3 in 2014......

 

[LiK]

Because the series is super niche and SE wouldn't even publish their own Bravely Default?

Yup, you'd think they would bring over Type-0 for the FF brand alone. But they're bringing this over instead.

 

[sensui-tomo]

Any reason why you were shocked? I've been expecting the announcement for a while now and I'm sure an EU publisher announcement will follow sometime soon.

Here is an obvious reason on why anyone should be shocked. Why would SE think that Drakengard of all things would ever outsell an FF title, heck i'd be surprised if that wii or gamecube FF undersold Drakengard 1(the game is not a megabuster seller/sells over 1 mil series).

 

[Wynnebeck]

Now put the first two on PSN.

I'll pay a high price! D:

 

[Tsundere]

Fantastic!

 

[killatopak]

Anybody knows the name and background of the characters that has dimmed icons in the official website?

 

[Spider from Mars]

This is the only thing I have ever wanted. It might challenge Nier for game of the generation.

Well, this is on the PS3 and Type-0 was a PSP exclusive. So yeah, i'd say that Drakengard 3 would have a shot of outselling it in the west.

 

[sensui-tomo]

Those would be Zero's partners http://www.siliconera.com/2013/05/19/drakengard-3s-apostles-bear-new-screenshots/

 

[RPGCrazied]

Never played the first 2. They really should rerelease those as an HD collection or something.

 

[StuBurns]

SE has brought over every PS3 game they've made, this doesn't seem like a surprise.

 

[dramatis]

I'm pleasantly surprised. Here's to hoping it will do well.

 

[Pooya]

Because the series is super niche and SE wouldn't even publish their own Bravely Default?

they really don't like publishing handheld games.

Curtain Call is probably eshop only too.

 

[K.Sabot]

Never played the first 2. They really should rerelease those as an HD collection or something.

At least they should reprint the OSTs so it won't cost me $100+ to get them.

 

[Kouriozan]

I'm glad, but still sad about no BC on PS4 >.<

 

[Kagari]

Yeah probably... :|

 

[TGMIII]

Isn't that to do more with the platform and region though? I don't know, this just isn't a shock to me.

 

[sensui-tomo]

i think they like handhelds, i mean why else announce DQ1-8 on the phones :/ or those other iOS games

 

[That1BlackGuy]

They got 1 western copy already in the bag from me, great news.

 

[killatopak]

i think they like handhelds, i mean why else announce DQ1-8 on the phones :/ or those other iOS games

They have DQ8 on phones?

Where do I buy?

 

[Zippedpinhead]

Square,

Know what would really be awesome?

PS2 classic releases of Drakengard 1 and 2...

Make it happen...

 

[KillerMan91]

 

[Kater]

I honestly doubt this will see a release on Xbox, but who knows.

Bummer.
Maybe I can get a PS3 second-hand somewhere.

 

[Stone Ocean]

LOL.

Dream dream dream dream dream dream dream dream dream dream dream dream dream dream dream dream dream dream dream dream dream dream dream dream dream dream dream dream dream dream dream dream dream dream dream dream dream dream dream dream dream dream dream dream dream dream dream dream dream dream dream dream

 

[Ridley327]

The PR seems a bit confusing: is this a dual physical/digital release?

 

[Femmeworth]

Very surprising that they are publishing it themselves. Wonder if it will even be dubbed.

 

[michaelius]

So SE passed on DQVII, Bravely Default and Type-0 but instead brings Drakenguard ?

At least we will get endless stream of funny sexism articles soon

 

[meltingparappa]

Will this have godly music like Nier had?

I heard you can date a weird old man. That fills the hole in my heart that Kaine left.

 

[StuBurns]

So, who translated Nier and handled the VO direction? I know 8-4 worked on it, but I believe the actual translator wasn't one of the full time staff?

 

[Scrawnton]

And still no DQ7 on 3DS in America...

 

[sensui-tomo]

Will this have godly music like Nier had?

I heard you can date a weird old man. That fills the hole in my heart that Kaine left.

sure you can "Date" that old apostle...more like what happens after the date XD, gonna love polygon take a go at this game and say how sexist it is (yet ignoring GTA V since you know it was actually worse towards women than DC) and have a 20+ thread on how people react to it.

 

[Lime]

Cool, I might buy it and play it.

I hope they let you toggle the HUD and the excessive blood splatter. It's simply too intrusive and ruins the experience.

 

[Kagari]

The PR seems a bit confusing: is this a dual physical/digital release?

Yes. Digital only for Europe apparently though.
