Nier: Some Action

Meh...

Mmm...blood. Was that the voice of Duke Nukem?

SquareEnix makes things other than Final Fantasy rehashes?!

the setting reminded me a bit of prince of persia, the gameplay kind of like dmc but slower. i hope they handle it well, could be interesting.

"It might just be me, but between this and Cube, I can't help but think that SquareEnix should be pimping SquareEnix: Buckets of Blood? "

I remember when Square released games I could be excited for.

dumb

That guy sounds exactly like the guy who voices Kanji in Persona 4.

"  Square-Enix should stick with what works rpgs  but i still may check this out "

That was MAD TRAILER-Y

" How can anyone be deep in the Future? I didnt know there was depth in time "

Sounds like an awful anime cartoon.

Still not interested. I think I would need to see a quicklook or atleast a solid chunk of uncut gameplay before i even have any idea of what this game is supposed to be.

looks like a crappy ps2 game

How can anyone be deep in the Future? I didnt know there was depth in time

Needs more Hair-Dragons

Yes, because some older, overly masculine no-nonsense badass trying to save his daughter is so much less cliche than a reluctant young boy trying to save a princess or something like that.

I don't get why you and some other people here are so nationalistic. Why does it matter which country makes better games? They're all corporation trying to get a share of your money. You shouldn't be concerned with who made your games but with getting the best games for your money. "

just makes me wish for a good game based on Taken with Liam Nieson, now that would kick some ass, and a far better father saving his daughter story than this will likely be. But that's just me and we know how unlikely you will get a game based on movie licence to be good. I'd rather play Dante's Inferno based on it's cutting edge graphics than this, and that's saying something. Pass. 

Maybe it sucks, but it has a hermaphrodite. 

Looks definitely interesting.

Judgement reserved until further details emerge.

Looks like God of Square.  Square May Cry.
 
 Squaronetta.

Well, would you look at that. An SE protagonist that isn't 16.
 
Looks kind of interesting. I pray there is a demo though.

People do know Square is only publishing this right?  It's a Cavia game.

" The monster design is kind of interesting. "

I got a very Bayonetta feel from the last 20 seconds. 
 
I really want this to be good. The world needs more good action games. But part of me is thinking this is going to be a mediocre game that is forgotten about a month after release.

I actually like the concept of the game quite a bit, the developer though doesn't have much of a track record looking at their games developed GB tab... Still I will give it a shot.

SE isn't making this game, they are publishing it.
Cavia (Bullet Witch/Resident Evil Wii rail shooters) developed Nier.
People that have played it already, for the most part, don't really have nice things to say.

looks epic

years ago you put SquareSoft or Enix in a game's cover and that's was all the publicity needed, but now these days i don't know how you cal lit "brand-valor" ? of squarenix it's going down down...
 
 and talking about  about JRPG's, lately for every 10 JRPG launched  8 are shovelware , it's a shame to see a genre slowly dying :(

I liked Nier better when it was a back screen with swear words.

The fact they're trying something different other than RPG's, regardless of whether they succeed or not, should be celebrated IMO. "
