I don't really agree. I think it's part of the Nier atmosphere to listen to music with lyrics that you can't understand.

not persona 5?
nier was not announced in a sony conference. I doubt ni-oh is coming to pc because they have been pretty open in calling it ps4 exclusive but who knows
Awesome!
I think this is the type of game that can do really well on the platform with a same-day release.

We know what engine they later used for D3, right?

The lyrics are nice, but her delivery is so 90s Quiet Storm slow jam that it comes across a little cheesy.

I like it! If its anything like Rising or Transformer's Devastation should be a pretty good port!

Like Ashes of Dreams?

Yeah Access Games developed D3 in Unreal 3. I'd like to see a port of that mostly because it ran like crap on the PS3. (I got all the endings despite this.)
Well there is a different language version of Ashes of Dreams for each ending I imagine it'd be similar here.

OMG YES!!
More players should be exposed to NieR... this MUST turns into a franchise and for that it require good sales numbers.

Those lyrics are just the cheesiest thing to me. Particularly "This is my redemption song". Any time you're calling attention to the fact you're singing a song it just ruins the whole thing. Like you're about to sing "My name is ____ and I'm here to say...". I much prefer the version I don't understand.
Have I been living a lie all these years?!
Depending on how we want to define the genre, the current high water mark for a game like this is one of these:
DmC: 826,995 ± 22,587
Metal Gear Rising: 620,448 ± 19,570
Mind, obviously these have been very cheap for quite some time.
Platinum's other two games are as follows:
The Legend of Korra: 209,786 ± 11,387
Transformers: Devastation: 49,247 ± 5,518

We should bug SE about a doublepack remaster for PS4 and PC.

I love it when PC ports are at least announced before the console versions release, so I don't end up double dipping and being salty about it. I like it even more if it's the same release date on both platforms.
There are very few games I buy day 1 on PC, but this is definitely one.

It is of course my opinion but I much more prefer the version sung by J'Nique Nicole.
Nevertheless the English version of Ashes of Dreams is amazing and is the best song in the whole game, especially because of the fantastic lyrics.

oh wait, just PC? i thought the "both platforms" meant it was coming to xbone too
Here I was thinking it wouldn't be discussed until post release.
I wonder if Platinum pushed for it and got Taro on board with it. This is a fairly unusual move for Squenix, so I doubt it originated from them.
Yup. I think I read it shares tech with Blue Dragon (both Artoon and cavia were subsidiaries of AQ Interactive already), but it's not using Unreal Engine.
All current KT PC games are ps3 ports despite a ps4 version exists. Nioh is ps4 only. They need to upgrade their tools before thinking about a pc version.

Cool, the more people who can buy it the higher the chances of another sequel. I'll probably still pick up the PS4 version instead though.

SE are done with Xbox. Only reason KH3 and FFXV are on it is because they were announced before it was clear how the gen would go.
You know, it could have been just that I was confusing Cavia with Feel Plus, since Feel Plus made UE3 their default engine up until the merger with Cavia and Artoon.

Untrue. Their latest ports are PC versions. Toukiden, DQ Heroes, Arslan and soon Attack on Titan are based on PS4.
So character action games have a nice audience on the platform. Surprised at DmC numbers.
Ni-Oh was announced as console exclusive on Siny's conference. I'd say its a lock for PC. Yeah, Tecmo Koei describes it as "PS4 exclusive", but I dont think they ever used "console exclusive" as a term in any of their games ever so I dont think its proof it wont.not persona 5?

It was in like 2 humble bundles.

Remember that the original NieR started life as a 360 exclusive before they decided to do a PS3 version. Taro and Platinum both probably looked at how many months they had left and said "Hey, lets put it on PC as well."

Is Xbox games sales (especially for Japanese games) really that low, even when compared to PC?
I mean, it's not that great on PC either. It's just that PC somewhat ensures longer tail when it comes to sales.

I mean, they were really, really cheap and humble bundles...
Fantastic. SE should really start porting every game to PC so that I can make sure I will still be able to play them ten years later. They can start with the original NieR.
Depends. Dark Souls 3 pulls out good number on Xbox, so did MGSV. Can't think of any other Japanese game on Xbox though.
I think SE should make NieR on XBOX simply because the original was on X360. It's always bad to completely abandon a part of your fanbase.

X1 is a weak platform. You need to optimize. That cost money.
For PC, it costs nothing since dev is done on PC platform and performance can always be assumed to be greater than ps4 for the targeted market.

Type-0 sold 10% of its opening weeks sales on XB1 and the rest on PS4.

Yeah, I don't see why people think anything has a chance of going to Xbox. There isn't an audience there like on PC.
It's just not likely. This had it written on the wall, NiOh doesn't. If anything it'll come MUCH later.
Don't have a PC, but this is good news. The more who gets this game the better.
I'm so happy that despite Nier being critically panned (and a commercial flop? not sure), SE seems to be going all-out for this game. So happy we get a second shot at this.
I just hope we get a new trailer out soon. The two songs sound already lovely. Each version has its own strengths that I can't really pinpoint which I prefer, though I'm slanting toward J'Nique Nicole's

Yeah, i remember buying it for cheap but its numbers still arent bad, at all.
Which humble bundles? I can't see anything that says they were in Humble Bundles. They have been cheaper iirc. Insanely good port though
The PC port for DmC is excellent and had no launch issues from what I could remember. If I remember correctly it also supported arbitrary resolution support along with support for 120/144hz monitors.
Proper PC support goes a long way.
It had a mild resurgence thanks to smooth optimized port, 60fps which consoles lacks, and a PC audience which didn't care about the Dante thing.

If it will continues like this, I may never even have to buy a PS4, lol.

It made its budget back IIRC. The game is cult in Japan to the point that P*'s younger members jumped at the chance to make a sequel.
It says only on PS4 in today's trailer

or maybe that's just referring to the beta....
