No. It's one of those sequels set ultra far into the future. It's basically standalone.Do I need to know anything about Nier before playing this game? Because I've never played the first Nier.
This demo needs to come out already on PSN US. So the real question is,what do you guys think of the soundtrack/music so far? The original NieR soundtrack is really phenomenal and would be a little disappointed if Automata's is not as good.
Why the hell do I need PS+ for this Ain't nobody got money for that.

The cutbacks in visuals make sense for a stable 60fps on OG PS4. Based on my experience, its pretty solid performance wise.
It's the same artist behind the music - Keiichi Okabe - and Emi Evans returned for vocals alongside some other people. If it doesn't live up to the original Nier, I guess you could just complain at him for not exceeding his masterpieces every time he makes a new OST.
What I heard in the demo was pretty good but they're probably saving the super-god tier tracks for the full game.
I didn't need PS+ to download it from JP PSN. Where are you getting that?
Germany. Hm, then I might make a JP account.It's probably unrated for the store you're on. The uk and jp store should have no ps+ requirement.
That's like how I played most of Bloodborne.

I wouldn't call the game pretty...but the smoothness, pure action and the size of everything on screen is definitely impressive.
This is one of the games, where I am glad I did invest in the PS4 Pro. Other than games that also perform and look great on the standard PS4, this game feels like it's base version is struggling and only on the Pro (and PC) does it reach it's full potential.

Love the stylish finish to this animation. So destructively calm and graceful. Beautiful!
Probably wont bother going back and finishing it since whatever's left (a boss fight I assume) I'll just save for the full game...
Heard about some people getting stuck in an endless loop on the title screen not realizing that X is cancel and O is okay in Japan
Ehhhhhhh.
Haven't finished it yet. Booted up on hard and got what seemed pretty decently far into it before dying. But whatever. It's fine, but what I want out of it isn't demonstrated in the demo.
Platinum make excellent games and I keep buying them for that reason, but I'm not going to lie; they're all blurring together for me. Familiar concepts, game mechanisms, animations, combos, counters, and underlining nuances are abundant as they have been in the last crop of Platinum's games. And that's, you know, not necessarily a bad thing since they do those things so well. But at the same time the familiarity is getting a little trite in small bites like this. It's hard to give a shit about a demo when it's exactly what I expected, even if what I expected is solid and welcome.
The little nuances that I hope from a Taro game alongside a more distinct identity in overall design just aren't particularly strong in a small vertical slice like this. ANd fair enough; grander concepts of game design just aren't explored, like the questing, developing narrative, encounter balance alongside the levelling and loot systems, and so on. That's okay.
Will say; soundtrack was a bit boring, all things considered.
Still not up on the US Store...
