EVERYTHING ensures that this is a multiplatform game.
Why?
^ THAT'S why.
This isn't Capcom or Koei Tecmo, and it isn't 2001. Expect an NX announcement as well, during their reveal conference in September, along with XV, KH III and the others big names.
It's actually the other way around. This isn't an FPS. This is a console genre. A traditional skill based melee action game. From a studio who's in bed with consoles since the genre's birth. No matter how you much put effort into marketing, JRPG's (the Dark Souls IP being the odd one to match and outdo Xbox numbers in some iterations), Fighting Games and Action Games sell multiple folds more on consoles than PC's, even for a platform which is half in numbers as the PS4, like the X1. This is a cold hard fact, just like how MMO's or MOBA's would pull in numbers on the PC. I'm just happy that they're not just releasing it for the X1 & PS4 (and possibly the NX) and ignoring the PC audience (however minor they are). Would love to see this cranked up in all it's glory and of course, MODS!
As far as I know NieR isn't using UE3 but an internal engine made specifically for the game. Since the original studio doesn't exist anymore that might complicate things.

Pretty sure the original Nier doesn't use UE3 and is an in house engine from Cavia.
Platinum is getting there. They are still not mathematically scaling their UI to arbitrary resolution choice, but they offered 4K in their recent releases. Their games are still locked to 60 FPS as well.
Would be nice to see both restrictions relaxed in future releases
Have to be acutely aware of word choice when these games are announced. Many people have been watching Sony conferences in recent years as they have become thinly veiled PC conferences.
Ni-Oh, FFXV, and FFVIIR are two upcoming games to keep your eyes on fire potential PC ports
It's NG+ where the story is amazing right? I tried to play it at launch and getting through the game was so mundane. I think I stopped 5 hours in or so.

Uhh, I would imagine they looked at all of the people buying up all those JRPGs on Steam(Including Final Fantasy games) and saw there is a huge PC market for these kinds of games. They aren't just hoping it works out, they know there is a market.
That boss battle video is really the only thing that interested me at E3, so it's nice I'll be able to pick this up on PC.

Without giving too much amazing, yes, but it's not like a continuation of the story, but it's important that it happens AFTER you play through it once.

Really? I thought I remembered it being UE3. Might be mixing it up with TLR.

Err, SE have no more XB1 games announced from their japan offices after FFXV and KH3 while they are instead focusing on PS4, PC and mobile.EVERYTHING ensures that this is a multiplatform game.

XV and VII:R are obviously on all platforms, but Nioh is full exclusive to PS4 by the looks of it. They first announced it on stage labelled console exclusive and went back on their site being full exclusive. No hint of anything ever since. KoeiTec owns the IP though.
A fantastic but niche jrpg is getting a full, big budget sequel.
Made by platinum games.
Written by the same crazy basterd that made the original.
Featuring a new soundtrack from Okabe who also worked at the original.
Including the same vocalist emi Evans.
And designs from akihiko Yoshida.
Is releasing on steam day 1.

You know, "The tech behind NieR" would be an interesting article if you find any info. I can't find anything on the tech.

I'm not talking about FFVII not being multi platform, I'm talking about a XBO release.
Dragon Quest Heroes, Setsuna, Nier, all on Steam and not on XBO.

J'Nique Nicole totally owns it though, Emi Evans really got outclassed here. J'Nique Nicole's version is also vastly superior because the incredible lyrics are not lost on the person who is listening.
"I feel like I'm loosing hope in my body and my soul...
tell me God are you punishing me?...
This is my redemption song, I need you more than ever right now! Can you hear me now!...
Maybe if we keep believing my dreams will come to life...come to life..."

Awesome news. Hopefully, they can figure out how to port over the first game, even if it winds up as a digital-only release.
Yep. Not much of a showcase for UE3 visually, but it was one of the better-running titles as a result.

Even though it looks like an UE3 game Unreal or Epic aren't credited so I doubt it's in UE3 but an engine by Cavia.

Drakengard 3 was an UE3 game but I don't think Nier was.
