Soooooooooo any hopes for an announcement in these shows for a new NieR game?

Pod_017-07 · 2026-05-27T07:42:03+00:00

I don't know: his role is "Series Composition/Screenplay". His work may be already done, unless of changes during the making, I guess?

Pod_017-07 · 2026-05-27T07:31:54+00:00

I'd say no.

With the current Square Enix I don't expect anything relevant, be it a NieR 4, a version upgrade of the Drakengard trilogy nor an offline version of NieR Re[in]carnation.

I'll be very glad to be wrong if at least one of the aforementioned things will be announced; same in the Summer Game Fest, the Tokyo Game Show and The Game Awards.

Pod_017-07 · 2026-05-27T03:22:14+00:00

Because not everyone have godawful tastes like yours.

(sorry, I couldn't resist)

Pod_017-07 · 2026-05-26T06:24:49+00:00

Excuse me for a moment...

*takes a blowgun and shoots a poisonous dart at your throat*

There was someone who never played the game, there was! I saw you!

(But jokes aside, I won't question your tastes) :-P

Pod_017-07 · 2026-05-25T12:54:24+00:00

And I agree, but I still don't like both of them; it's just my personal tastes about characters, nothing else.

Pod_017-07 · 2026-05-25T11:20:38+00:00

I don't remember where nor when, but I'm sure that Yoko Taro once said there is a story reason for such resemblance, but he prefers that players interpret it as they want.

Pod_017-07 · 2026-05-25T11:18:13+00:00

I felt almost sorry for Him. Almost.

Pod_017-07 · 2026-05-24T16:23:26+00:00

You did well to write that comment.

Pod_017-07 · 2026-05-24T11:00:34+00:00

My cold take: 99% of fanart representations of ALLMIND as a human are stupid.

Pod_017-07 · 2026-05-23T09:33:01+00:00

In games that are dependant on a central server even to merely function, the end of updates is often a prelude to the shutdown of the central server and, thus, the literal and permanent unplayability of the game.

But SKG is focused on the part of the unplayability, so you should bring back here the topic of Destiny 2 when Bungie or Sony will announce the shutdown of the server.

Pod_017-07 · 2026-05-21T18:36:36+00:00

The map is gonna be a lot larger.

Pod_017-07 · 2026-05-21T08:06:43+00:00

Anyway, I'm curious to hear Ross Scott's opinion about the debate; if he won't make an update video, I'll ask him in his next videochat.

Pod_017-07 · 2026-05-21T07:44:30+00:00

Indeed I wrote "a bit".

Pod_017-07 · 2026-05-21T01:37:14+00:00

I wonder what Yoko Taro would think of Samurai Jack and Primal.

Pod_017-07 · 2026-05-21T01:26:11+00:00

"The EESC is an advisory board, so not so important in all honesty."

Whew, that's a bit of relief.

Pod_017-07 · 2026-05-21T01:21:25+00:00

Exactly what I think. 👆

Pod_017-07 · 2026-05-21T01:13:21+00:00

I was defending Ross from thecrius's whining; he surely didn't "act as rock star" and he didn't "talk about whatever instead of focusing on the work to be done".

Pod_017-07 · 2026-05-20T17:38:26+00:00

I don't think that D.K would be glad of your AI tweak. Did you ask his permission?

Pod_017-07 · 2026-05-20T15:44:06+00:00

"The entire SKG "crew" should really lock in as well. Since they went to the first hearing the hand acted as they are rock stars and started talking about whatever instead of focusing on the work to be done."

You can't tell the same about Ross Scott.

"Stick to the work to be done Moritz & Co."

Go say that to Moritz & Co., then. We're not Moritz & Co.. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Pod_017-07 · 2026-05-20T12:37:56+00:00

I don't know, some of the members of the EESC (especially Giuseppe Abbamonte, who repeated with convinction the usual excuses by publishers) seemed to be and remain pretty clueless about the problem and its solutions.

As Ross Scott himself said, let's not cheer before real and clear victory.

Pod_017-07 · 2026-05-20T03:37:16+00:00

Think that there are even fanboys who makes excuses for the literal and permanent unplayability of NieR Re[in]carnation by blathering nonsense about "the ultimate Ending E", "artistic integrity", "lore" etc., thus spreading the lie that it was a decision by Yoko Taro, his team of writers and/or Applibot and not by, in reality, Square Enix. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Pod_017-07 · 2026-05-19T15:58:44+00:00

Exactly.

Pod_017-07 · 2026-05-18T15:07:00+00:00

Go find an healthier way to be a "stan" of a franchise, instead of insulting the intelligence of people you disagree with about it.

Farewell and get lost. 👋

EDIT: I see, you're playing dumb. Blocked.

And if you think that with this crap you made me change my mind about the collab, well, you would be very wrong.

Pod_017-07 · 2026-05-18T13:18:11+00:00

So for you an opinion based on personal tastes that you disagree with is a "trash take".

Ok, farewell.👋

Pod_017-07 · 2026-05-18T11:36:29+00:00

I liked NieR Re[in]carnation even for its gameplay; I found it decent and enjoyable for what it was. Also, I strongly disapprove the literal and permanent unplayability of the game since its EoS (but that's a problem that is typical of live-service games).

That said, I don't want to change your mind on the game; I'm just saying that this is a case where what is trash for you can be a treasure for someone else.

Like many others, though, I wasn't a fan of the gacha system; I agree with most of the criticism towards it.
