Support NeoGAF

[Acidote]

Does this game have Denuvo? I really wanted to play it :-/

 

[VlaudTheImpaler]

Still need to be confirmed

Denuvo
>60 FPS
Arbitrary resolution support

Do we have a Durante signal .gif?

Please big D, I need my 21:9 goodness...

 

[longdi]

So can we bypassed Steam region locks?
Asia gets no love, shit square enix

 

[luulubuu]

 

[ToKre]

Not available for Saudi Arabia .. fml

riip , i'll play it either way on PC but i don't want to risk using VPN i might just make a new account for it alone or wait for UAE codes that may work.

 

[SoldnerKei]

Welp, I was expecting it to cost around 800 Mexican Pesos so 999 ain't that bad, still cheaper than our current 60 dlls conversion, cheaper than the PS4 retail price over here too.

 

[Phoenix RISING]

You don't have to in order to follow the story, but you'll be missing out on a few sideplots, in addition, Automata will spoil you on elements of the first Nier.

Thanks. Guess I better start cramming.

 

[DXLelouch153]

Thanks. Guess I better start cramming.

you can easily beat OG Nier before Automata
do all the endings tho

 

[His Majesty]

Preorder bonuses are pretty pointless from what i can see, so i'll wait after launch anyway.

Not to mention that I have little confidence this port will turn out alright based on their handling of the PC version.

 

[matmanx1]

Good, glad to see this release date confirmed. Waiting on the PC version was the right call.

 

[Neptonic]

Aside from that you could also ask if someone who has a 960 and an i5 for example is struggling to run 1080p 60fps and deduce if your system can run it as well.

Fuck

 

[Mr. Smiley]

YOINK

 

[Parsnip]

I really hope you are right...
But I hoped and got played before.

Keep in mind that if the game doesn't perform to your expectations, you can always get a refund as long you get your copy directly from Steam.

 

[Adnor]

Its a shame, seems the new digital tax policies will be affecting quite a few people/games.

Again, this isn't for the new digital tax policies, this is because S-E always overprice the games in some regions for no apparent reason.

At least in Chile it's the same price every other S-E US$60 game is.

 

[Genki]

Wait, it's not available in Japan? I'll be there when it releases :/.

 

[jediyoshi]

Fuck

The sentence isn't claiming anything.

 

[NegativeCero]

Gonna wait if GMG or Gamesplanet have it for slightly cheaper. It's about time they announced the date (hope it's a good port).

 

[Kenstar]

I preordered it on amazon for $40 a while back (prime discount), still says dec 31st though there
I'm guessing they'll update soon or when it actually releases and give me my steam key

 

[K.Jack]

The GTX 770 is far faster than the 7850-hybrid of the PS4, so there's no way it can only be good for the minimum and 1280x720 resolution the Square-Enix site suggests. Impossible.

 

[low-G]

Preordered directly on Steam, rather than GMG or something, in case they totally botched the port. But I'm thinking my overclocked i5-6600 + 1070 should be just fine at 1080p (with some supersampling).

[bbd23]

???

steam refunds

 

[Armaly]

???

Steam refund.

 

[Ricky Ricardo]

???

You can only get a refund on Steam if you bought the game on Steam. Getting a steam code from anywhere else = square out of luck

 

[capylikesgames]

Does GMG usually have VIP deals with Japanese SE titles? Should I wait a week before pre-ordering just in case?

Doesn't Prime discount only apply to physical games?

Oh no no, I'd say Square's quite in luck in that case.

 

[xVodevil]

I'm hoping for this, if not... well then I guess I'll have to wait a few months...

 

[Bowl0l]

Based Square Enix.
Based Yoko Taro.
Based Platinum Games.
Based Gabe.

I'm seeing this message too.
How convenient that Malaysia in not part of the worldwide release?

 

[Delusibeta]

Considering Nier Automata has been sellotaped to the top of Steam's Global Top Sellers list all day, I get the feeling that this port is going to be pretty profitable in the long run, assuming they don't totally botch the launch.

PC demographic loves Japanese games, they generally sell like hot cakes.

Hoping for it as well!

 

[K.Jack]

Need to see Mass Effect reviews, before I order this. I selfishly wish Nier had been delayed a month.

 

[BONKERS]

Better have some visual upgrades for a 980 recommendation I hope.
Looks stellar either way.
(Also: Plat, please no 1080p res lock this time)
I digress, SE, OG Nier port, when plz?

 

[ldcommando]

Brazilian price is too much for me right now, I'm going to wait.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Partial controller support = launcher with perhaps a bunch of options?

 

[fatalexe]

Fun fact: Metal Gear Rising is STILL not available in Asia/SEA. I don't know what's wrong with Platinum Games. The only way to get MGR is to use a VPN and activate a steam code purchased from a 3rd party store. Ridiculous! This is why piracy is rampant in SEA.

Guess NiER would be the same

i selfishly wish you broke your leg, but then again after ME3 and DAI i dont trust Bioware

 

[Ogawa-san]

To continue my whining about SE regional pricing: Atelier Firis' preorder also came up on Steam today.

They're both $60 games.

Blame Konami/Squeenix, they're the publishers.

 

[spiritfox]

Fucking region locks.

Can you gift someone a game from another region if their region does not have that game?

 

[Gbraga]

That's pretty cool

It's the publishers, Konami did the same with Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2, Sega (used to) lock a bunch of games even the western ones, but I think they got better, Square-enix lock half of their Japanese games, by half I mean like every other FFs are available but who knows where the rest are, I have no issues buying 99% of the games from the west/indie/rest of the fucking world, but seems like it's too hard for japanese publishers, it pisses me off sometimes. No matter how much you bitch to them they do absolutely jackshit and they never actually answered why they're doing whatever they've been doing.

 

[Yappadappadu]

Will the steam version display PS4 button prompts if I hook up my PS4 controller? I'm actually fairly new to steam.

This has happened many times in the past, and I really don't have a good explanation for why companies do it. Maybe they're afraid of retailer retaliation?

 

[Ricerocket]

I'll wait, recommended specs at 980 has me worried.

 

[killatopak]

Really sad Asia got shafted.

I was gonna double dip but ahhhhhhh.

 

[Anteater]

I thought about that, but then you have super old games like the old Final Fantasys, like these are the FFs that are available here (ignoring the 2 MMOs):

FFIII, FFVII, FFIX, FFX/X-2

and here are the games that are not available here:

FFIV, FFV, FFVI, FFVIII

Like, what? Do they just flip a coin to decide which games to lock? For Konami, MGSV is available, but Rising isn't, lol. why is this so complicated

 

[Jimrpg]

I'm getting used to it to be honest.

Konami also do the same shit too with MGS V and PES2017 pricing and availability.

 

[Chairmanchuck]

Why is that game not available in 90% of asian regions???
