A Vanquish HD Remasterbated Edition seems far more likely than a full sequel, with the positive upshot of a PC port so that all of the Mass Effect 2 proponents can play the real "popamole done right".

Or it could just be a red herring to drum up as much interest in the reveal as possible. That's my guess.

Edit: Just realized it's a Star Fox 64 quote. WiiU Exclusive Port inbound.:negative:

Weakest part of Nier was its gameplay so with Platinum on board to develop it, it'll go from good to brilliant.

the only flaw
the only single flaw in the masterpiece that was nier
was that its gameplay was only meh

and platinum makes THE best gameplay
this is

this is beyond words

This is the best thing that has happened in gaming news for me since I was 13. I haven't cared about games much anymore. I barely play them. I barely remember them. But this... I haven't felt so happy about such a dumb bit of news for a long time. Thank you...

I'm slightly less excited than you, but I am still really hyped and all we've seen is some artwork and shit. Then again, Yoshida is one of my favorite artists around.

I am so attached to NieR because it (like Dark Souls) is a game that really understands melancholy and depression. For someone with depression, sadness can be happiness, and sorrow joy. And there's plenty of both in them.

How this is even possible

No game done by the guy had any financial success

This cannot be

I can't buy a PS4 just for this, I am a member of the PC gaming Master Race since youth

The suffering is endless, but at least I'll gain another kickass soundtrack out of this

It's a miracle. Maybe someone else high up there sees the same genius I see in Yoko Taro...

...

Or Square still owes him a favor. That's how Drakengard 3 was made, if rumors are to be believed.

I just fear they announced this way too early and no one will even remember it come release time. Just like that Project Setsuna thing. All you have is concept art and you're showing it off? Alright, I guess. I am looking forward to it considering NIER and Taro is just crazy enough for it to work out.

Cautiously optimistic, though I'm pretty certain it won't live up to the hype. Nier is an amazing game, but I'm not really sure the creators actually understand exactly why (see: Grimoire Nier, the lorebook, shitting hard all over the game's story or the devs caving and making Replicant because jRPG twinks can't handle a REAL MAN).
