As promised, The Game Awards gave us a new look at NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139... on PlayStation 4. The game is a remaster of the original PS3 NieR, a prequel to the highly regarded NieR: Automata. You can watch the trailer above.
While it's only a minute long, it gives us a good idea of how the remaster is shaping up. In terms of gameplay, it looks like a pretty significant step up, and the game appears to run at a nice, smooth 60 frames per second.
NieR Replicant is scheduled to release on 23rd April 2021 for PS4. Will you be playing this nearer the time? Dodge those bullets in the comments section below.

@Quintumply Do you know if it will come to PS5 or just be b/c?
@Mostik It's just BC for now.
I cannot WAIT for this! I doubt I'll enjoy it as much as Automata, but even if it's half as good I know I'm going to love this
Hi there fellow gamers.
Every RPG fan should give this game a go.
With the new and very much needed improved combat mechanics, the better visuals with one of THE MOST amazing and memorable soundtracks and a completely unforgetable storyline, you are in for a treat.
If you loved Nier Automata, you´re gonna love this as much. Maybe even more so.
Just be ready to be blown away by all the twists and turns of this game. It is quite something, for sure.
Cheers, stay safe and happy gaming to us all
Definitely looking forward to giving this a go. Although I am concerned they’ll release a Ps5 edition after I purchase it, which would annoy me.
I love Automata so I can't wait to give Replicant a go.
I'm a big fan of Automata, and I'm liking what I'm seeing of this trailer. This is going to be a good one.
I love nier automata, after 100+ hours I've got all the endings and the plat too, I'm going to get this digitally day one
@RaZieLDaNtE Soundtrack the first time around was boss. I bought that one and even got the 5 or so extra songs from the Japanese deluxe super blah blah edition or whatever it was called. Don't usually go for game soundtracks but this was too good
Yeah I'll join the choir 😄
Automata has jumped to the top of my favorite games ever after completing it, so I'm looking forward to this one!
@Jayofmaya hey Jay, how are you?
I sent you an email with some tentative, unrehearsed ideas for you to check out, let me know! 😃
I had a lot of fun with Automata even if I think it’s a bit overhyped by the web! Hated the original Nier but I am willing to give this a spin, it looks a lot different!
They need to remake Drakengard after this if they don’t make a new Nier game
@GKO900 A drakengard Remake would be a dream come true, its still the most unforgivably messed up game I've ever played and I love it. I'd love to see Caim and Angelus again.
Can't wait for this, the drakengard series is one of my favourites of all time. Would love to see a Drakengard 4 made by platinum one day. I can dream!
@Cloud39472 Please leave out the modern Tokio part or was that in part 2 i just gave up in the end. 🤪
Looking forward to this, it definitely looks way more like the Drakengard games I remember from way back than Automata.
@Flaming_Kaiser Yeah it was the ending that lead to Nier, modern Tokyo was an interesting ending IMO, it's just the boss fight is kinda... Awful? They did it in drakengard 3 too and managed to make it even worse XD
@Cloud39472 I could not make it i just looked it up online. 👽
@Kidfried Hi there friend.
Thanks for the kind words 👍
Cheers, stay safe and all the best
@Jayofmaya Hi there friend.
I actualy have this game soundtrack both on my favourites on youtube and I listen to it when I go shopping and go to the gym.
It is that good of a soundtrack. Just like Hollow knight ost.
Cheers, stay safe and have a good one
@RaZieLDaNtE I keep losing my headphones, so don't get that luxury haha
Thanks, you too
@clvr Awesome dude, I'll give them a listen on Sunday as am out tomorrow. Will let ya know what ones I think are best
Looking good! By far one of my favourite games of its generation and a much better game than Automata. Shame we have to play as the boy instead of Papa Nier though. Hope they drop him in as DLC but probably won't happen.
@Jayofmaya I see, awesome! To be honest at the moment I haven't had too much time to write melodies for it, so what I sent you is basically only the first 45 to 60 seconds lol
As soon as I have other ideas for the other sections I'll let you know!
Also, if you have preferences on where to sing clean/unclean, or if you have vocal melodies in your head don't hesitate to tell me 😃
@clvr Hey dude, I sent an email back. Hopefully it's not confusing! Let me know what you think and if there are any more vocal melodies you can think of for the bits I just did unclean vocals on.
I still need to play Automata, but this remaster is looking great!
@Cloud39472 @GKO900 Even better, a Trilogy remake and a new game!
Also NieR Automata 2 just because.
@KidBoruto Honestly I haven’t played Drakengard 1 and 2 only the third one but from what I read that game it’s more like a prequel to 1 and 2 but I might be wrong
@GKO900 No clue myself! I've never played any of the Drakengard or NieR games.
