It's been a little while since we last heard anything about NieR Automata, the Platinum Games developed action spin on Square Enix's cult PlayStation 3 series. However, as part of an event in Tokyo today, a few new minutes of gameplay footage – as well as a trailer – were shown to an excitable crowd. It's looking a bit of alright, isn't it?
While this isn't exactly the most bombastic showing ever, with Platinum Games at the helm, we're sure that there'll be some epic moments in the final game. For now, though, we're actually really liking the character and environment designs – and, of course, the combat looks as flashy and fluid as we've come to expect from the Metal Gear Rising maker.

That first video was a bit daft. Those floating robots are plain annoying. The gameplay looks fast and smooth, very nice, as is the look/style, maybe seems pretty linear like God of War so that puts me off kinda.
I think it looks pretty good.Cool combat and like the graphical style alot.I never played Nier and don't really know anything about this game.Do I need to play the original?Don't think it's on the psn store is it?
@Wazeddie22 It seems like this is going in a different direction to the original so I wouldn't worry too much about that.
@get2sammyb Good to know.As long as its not a direct sequel.Will be keeping an eye on this one.
@Wazeddie22 I'm in the same boat. Game looks awesome and has me highly interested but never played the first. But I totally am getting more and more hyped for NieR
Not sure if I like the floating swords thing its weird they just follow behind the player but don't move. I'm being nit picky though the game looks awesome.
actually nier 2 follows on from nier 1's 4th ending so may not understand the story if you've not played the 1st one
