I've said it before, and I'll say it again. This is NOT a remaster. This is a game that is finally being finished. I'm so looking forward to it though, the original Neir was a very good game just incomplete. It's rare to see projects like this given a second chance.

I genuinely wish that studios like this deserve more funding or even buy out from bigger brands like sony or microsoft unfortunately fall out like game who feed off microtransaction thrive in the industry.

I just remembered that this game is about to drop (tomorrow I believe).  I liked the original back in the day despite it's admittidly numerous shortcomings.  It's clear that a ton of stuff was cut from the original release and the grahpics in the enviorments were muddy even for the time.  From that I've heard this seems to address most of the issues with crisper visuals and gameplay, bringing cut content like Weapon Stories and even some characters and plot elements back in, voice overs in ALL the cutscene's and hopefully an overhaul of that pathetic fishing minigame.

 

 

Anyone else condering this?

If it is something that people are into, they will definitely go for it. I find a lot of it's art good and I wish they could have some sort of the artistic DLCs for this.

I've played for about 6  hours now.  It's already clear how just even a handful of improvements can improve the experience.  The additional voice acting, a fishing minigame that isn't impossible to understand, optional fetch quests that aren't hours of grinding.  They are relatively small changes but they add up to make a big difference.  I'm way more invested in the story and characters now than I was before even those aspects are pretty much the same.

The opening sequence was a high up lift up wasn't it, something that doesn't not have my interst. Some of the monsters remind me of Twillight Princess. The Light gods or something. The people dancing with the weird costumes reminds me of the twillight people.

I'm gonna pick it up soon. The improvements sound promising, but I'm still not sure if this game will really impress fans of Nier Automata. We'll see.

So fishing mini game is not that bad right? I thought so. I wonder how other youtubers enjoyed it or not because lot of folks were surprised with minigame in it.

Let me put it this way.  A fishing minigame might not sound like that big a deal and it normally wouldn't be.  In the original NieR, however, the fishing minigame was so terrible that some gamers and even reviewer's refused to continue to play.  I'm NOT kidding!  It's a strong contender for the worst minigame of all time!

 

 

Not to mention that it is compulsory for one the early story quests.  With Replicant, the difference is night and day.  It's much more in line with something like Zelda and MUCH more playable.

Thanks. That explains the positive reviews.
