Apparantly it was nothing more than an experiment from PlatinumGames. Don't know why they're not busy making another Nier: Automata game.
Good. I don't want them to touch that game because we all know they'd attempt to shoehorn some hackney bullshit.
The first was an early graystation/Saturn-era platformer* with some annoying platformer flaws, but nothing too terrible.
Platinum needs to take some time to re-organize itself and quit being retarded.
They don't own the Nier ip, it's like asking why they aren't working on revengence 2
Disregard this I'm retarded. A more real answer is that the platinum higher ups have been trying to move to a more service based game set up because they don't feel like their more niche titles are bringing enough in.
I'd be happy if they rereleased it, but the Squeenix of today doesn't have the chops to make the kind of game they made at their peak in the late 90s.
Because Yoko Taro hasn't asked them to. He's the guy who writes/creates the games.
I honestly don't understand SE's reason for greenlighting these games. Like, with some exceptions like Nier Automata and Marvel's Guardians Of The Galaxy, whenever they try to publish something that isn't directly worked on in-house, the result usually ends up a complete mess.
Their Japanese division is printing money. Their Western division is underperforming by a big margin.
The first Gex is an alright game that has its moments, needs a bit of tweaking but the humor is funny. Can't comment on the other two.
The first Gex was a memorable platformer for the time. But it's very, very 90s in every way. I do think it held up better than the collect-a-thon sequels.
A: Yoko Taro is the guy in charge of Nier, and if you mean a direct sequel to Automata Taro has actively said he will never ever make one of those
I'm not bullshitting when I say the following, yes, the games are surprisingly good, even if the titular character in question is considered shitpost material.
It's not surprising everything Square had slated for later this year has been pushed back.
I really like it. Had a bit of a rough opening, but I thought it started to shine the more jobs I got and the more the plot started to progress.
Wasn't a fan either. I'm a big Nioh fan but felt a disconnect between the story and the structure of that kind of game. Combat was alright but the levels were bland as hell even compared to Nioh 1. Only played up to the pirate cave so i'm not sure how much more there was but wasn't impressed.
