Yoko Taro and Yosuke Saito working on two new titles
Saito is not very enthusiastic about one of them.

Saito-Taro_12-30-20.jpg


Two new titles are in development by NieR duo Yoko Taro of Bukkuro and Yosuke Saito of Square Enix, the pair confirmed during the “Games Industry Chit-Chat 2020 Year-End Party” live stream.

According to Saito, he received a proposal from Taro to make a certain game about a year ago, but rejected the idea as he strongly felt he would never want make such a game. But Taro was determined and tried to convince Saito with an hour-long presentation. While he was not easy to convince, Saito accepted Yoko Taro’s proposal as a result, and development of the game was decided. However, even now one year later, Saito admits he is less than enthusiastic about it, stating, “If I could quit, I would.”

In addition to the game Saito is reluctantly working on, a separate new title from Saito and Yoko Taro that the pair mutually agreed upon is also in preparation. This new title is planned for release before the other title.

Thanks, Games Talk.

Annnd that's it. Maybe we're seeing some impact from COVID on the industry.

Pathfinder: Wrath
Caligula 2 logo found. I never played the first game but I am curious about it.


huh I guess the game is kinda popular in Japan to warrant a sequel?

I think it is mostly panned in the west for being a cheap Persona knock-off that try to do what it does but generally just worse?

Ciel nosurge DX and Ar nosurge DX launch January 28, 2021 for PS4, Switch, and PC in Japan

(They are delayed to March 4 btw.)

This is interesting. They got Steam pages, but it seems they're only available in Japan. (Store pages should be visible through links above the widgets if you're not signed in.)

Also Japanese subtitle only.

Koei Tecmo has been doing this kind of Japan-only Steam release with horse racing sim games, but it's unusual for these games. I guess they won't release these remasters outside of Japan?

I can confirm for you that it's working on Yuzu. Has some graphical aberrations, some red/green lines that run through some things sometimes, but other than that it's definitely playable. I can post a video later of the artifacts but for the kind of game this is they're more than bearable since it's just low-quality sprite work. They don't affect the character portraits either, which is good.

Weird the Nosurge games have full English descriptions despite no English support.

Well they did the same with Winning Post games (the horse racing games), and they've never released them outside of Japan.

(I think there's some guideline from Valve that devs should provide English description regardless of release languages and regions, but it doesn't seem too strict or something.)
