Square Enix brings you a foul-mouthed sneak peek at what to expect from the upcoming title Nier.  I will just leave this rather weird trailer  here…

Upcoming Square Enix game series NieR, to be comprised of NieR Gestalt on the Xbox 360 and NieR Replicant on the PS3, has already attracted attention for the revealing attire of some of its female characters, but it seems it has more in store: one of the main female characters in NieR Replicant, Kainé, is revealed to be a futanari…

Her introduction runs along these lines:

Kainé

A female warrior and partner of Nier, she was part-possessed in a demonic attack, and became a hermaphrodite (futanari).

As a result she was bullied from an early age, and out of resentment came to emphasise her female characteristics excessively through her choice of clothing. However, her demeanour, attitude and speech are extremely rough and masculine.

NieR Gestalt (below) is thought to be an effort to appeal to international markets, though what the addition of a futanari says about Square’s hopes for the Replicant PS3 version is not entirely clear, though certain recent releases seem to come to mind…

Square has not one, but two Nier games in the works: one for Xbox, and one for PS3. Nier Replicant is being developed exclusively for PS3, and looks somewhat different from its Gestalt counterpart. Both games feature a white-haired protagonist named Nier, but Replicant’s lead is a younger, slimmer and a bit more effeminate than the 360’s lead character. Both stories have our hero(es) on a journey to save a family member: in Replicant, it’s a sister, while in Gestalt, it’s a daughter.

I’m not entirely sure why Square Enix deemed it necessary to create two vaguely different versions of Nier for the two consoles. This new trailer does state that “peering into the mirror reveals yet another tale,” so perhaps Square Enix fans will have to buy both versions of the game to get the whole story.

Square Enix has released a not-so-revealing teaser of their upcoming Nier game for PS3 and Xbox 360. What was gathered from it however was some foul mouth audio of a woman believed to be “Keine” who was revealed in the Japanese version. In the teaser, she is threatening a book she refers to as “Vice” and another character referred to as “Shadow Lord”. Also, the words after the title state that “nothing is at it seems” which could mean that there will be a twist when the game’s visuals are finally revealed. Watch:

Ik zou een nier geven om later in zo’n huis te mogen wonen. Hoe geweldig moet het zijn om elke dag met zo een uitzicht wakker te worden..

Denle un vistazo al video que se mostro en el TGS 2009 y que será lanzado para el XBOX 360. Las dudas aun siguen, no se sabe que pasara con estos juegos . . . Gestalt y Replicant . . . les traere mas información pronto.

Square enix, compañía famosa por la saga de final fantasy, mostró en el pasado e3 su nuevo proyecto, un juego de nombre Nier, a primera vista no resultaba nada fuera de lo normal, o que aportara nada nuevo al mundo de los videojuegos, sin embargo, conforme pasa el tiempo se han dado mas detalles de este singular título para el 360 y el ps3, uno de estos detalles, y quizás el que mas intriga es la diferencia entre estas versiones, comúnmente encontramos que un juego aparece en diferente consolas pero sin algún cambio, salvo algunas excepciones , como material descargable etc, bueno esta ves square enix decidió experimentar un poco, y tenemos igualmente un juego llamado Nier para ambas consolas pero que se diferencian en historia. Mientras que para la consola de microsoft tomaremos el papel de un hombre llamado Nier en busca de la cura para su hija enferma del virus Black Scrawl, en el ps3 tendremos a un joven mucho menor (igualmente llamado Nier) que busca auxiliar a su hermana menor, atacada por la misma enfermedad; ambos personajes usan distitnto armamento y tienen un forma de pelear totalmente diferente, en el 360 Nier usara armas grandes y pesadas, mientras que en el ps3 Nier usara un armamento mas ligero y sera de sierta forma mas rapido, como punto en común estas dos versiones tendrán (además del nombre de ambos personajes principales) a Kaine una chica de cabello blanco, que esta ligada de manera directa con el protagonista. También cabe aclarar que la version para 360 tendra el nombre de Nier Gestalt, y al de ps3 Nier Replicant.

¿Cómo manejara square enix el trato de las dos versiones?, ¿Será todo parte de una misma historia? y para finalizar ¿ que otros elementos también compartirá este título en sus dos versiones? . En lo personal me gusta esta idea, y ojala sirva para enriquecer la historia, que para mi es un punto fuerte en los videojuegos. Solo el tiempo dirá si es buena o mala idea, estaremos pendientes de mas información. Y para finalizar aqui les dejo ambos trailers tanto para gestalt coom el de replicant.

Y por que ando de buenas, lo que parece el tema principal, chequenlo esta chido.

(jaja no lo he confirmado como tema principal, si me equivoco una disculpa, aunque de todos modos es una muy buena cancion ^^)Por cierto… paz.

Bueno compañeros Buttoneros les traigo el nuevo video mostrado por Square Enix de su nuevo juego Nier Replicant, el juego que mi compañero Big Boss Alex ya les comento aquí. Y como sabrán Replicant es el que será para la consola de Sony simplemente sorprendente, disfruten y comente.

僕のもっとも好きなゲームといっていいでしょう

Na ultima edição da revista Famitsu, foi revelado que NieR vai mesmo conter duas versões, uma para PS3 e outra para Xbox 360.

A Square-Enix acabou de confirmar para a revista Famitsu a produção de NieR Gestalt, um Action RPG que tinha sido anunciado na E3 como multiplataforma e que agora é exclusivo do Xbox 360. Aparentemente, o foco do jogo é o mercado ocidental.

A Famitsu também aproveitou a confusão e anunciou NieR RepliCant, que parece ser exclusivo do Playstation 3. Ainda não foi confirmado pela Square-Enix, mas ao que parece, NieR terá duas versões distintas no Japão, uma para cada plataforma.

O anúncio da Famitsu mostra uma artwork de mulher de cabelos brancos.

Na versão de Xbox 360 assumimos o papel de Nier, que teve sua filha infectada por uma misteriosa doença e parte em uma jornada para encontrar a cura. Nier é o portador de uma gigantesca espada. Ele ainda contará com ataques de magia e velocidade. Apesar das informações serem um tanto quanto escassas, Nier é definitivamente um Hack N’ Slash com elementos de RPG.

ATUALIZAÇÃO: Mais informações de NieR, agradecimentos ao usuário Suíno Maverick!

- Nier é o protagonista, ele embarca em uma jornada para encontrar uma cura para sua filha, vítima do Vírus Black Scawl.

- Com habilidosos aliados e um livro mágico, Nier encontrará coisas que assombram até mesmo o mais poderoso dos guerreiros.

- Experimente um enredo lotado de reviravoltas sobre um mundo atingido pela aflição humana, lotado de segredos e uma doença destruidora.

- Explore um mundo imersivo e detalhado, com o estilo único da Square-Enix.

- Um jogo com muita ação, grande variedade de ataques e magias arrasadoras.

- Várias armas para se usar, todas com características únicas.

- Destrave poderes mágicos para destroçar oponentes perto ou longe de você.

- Eventos cinemáticos que colocarão o jogador “dentro” do universo de NieR.

- O tema do game é focado no “amor entre a família”, e esse é justamente o motivo do jogo ser obscuro, para causar mais impacto no jogador.

- A jogabilidade lembra Devil May Cry, mas o jogo é destinado a um público mais maduro ainda, contendo vários xingamentos e muito sangue.

- A cena mostrada foi uma Boss-Battle. Ela é divida em várias seções, com a câmera mudando de posição dependendo do que está acontecendo. Em um dos momentos, o jogo muda para um estilo clássico (o mesmo visto em Shadow Complex), com três personagens percorrendo o cenário igual um side-scroller.

- A história principal dura de 12 a 15 horas, mas haverão várias Sub-Quests e até a opção de um New Game Plus.

Kiedyś, czego Squaresoft by się nie tknął – zamieniało się w złoto. Obecnie, czego nie tknie Square Enix – na to patrzeć nie mogę. Aczkolwiek każdy pies ma swój dzień, nieprawdaż? Za najbardziej udaną grę tej firmy uznaję The World Ends With You, i była udana głównie z tego powodu, że stanowiła nowiutki projekt od początku do końca (Last Remnant śmierdzi fajnalem, że hoho). Teraz kolejnym tego typu przedsięwzięciem ma być Nier. A konkretniej Nier Gestalt. Czy jemu też uda się pokazać, że SE jeszcze potrafi?

Mroczne fantasy, slashowanie i przeklinająca panienka Caine, towarzysząca naszemu dzielnemu tatusiowi – Nierowi – w quescie po lekarstwo dla córeczki. Czyż to nie oklepane?

Tak, i to najgorzej, ale nie musi to oznaczać, że będzie się źle slashowało, prawda? Ma być levelowanie broni, postaci, czarów, elementy platformowe i zmiany perspektywy (kamera z góry, z boku etc.) a wszystko to w zapewne schludnej oprawie. 5-6 lat temu bym powiedział „słabo Rejczel” ale w czasie obecnej posuchy na fajne rżnięcie (nie zrozumcie tego opacznie) uważam, że ten japoński gość przypominający Wiedźmina po detoxie może swą premierą choć trochę zamieszać.

Co ciekawsze, gra od swej pierwszej zapowiedzi na tegorocznym E3 zmieniła nazwę z Nier na Nier Gestalt, co jest niby mało ważne, jednak w ostatnim wydaniu famistu pojawiły się także informacje dotyczące Nier Replicant. Czyżbyśmy dostali dwie osobne gry? Jest to dość prawdopodobne, gdyż NG ma być tytułem ekskluzywnym dla X360, zatem wypadałoby by NR było eksem na PS3. Z jednej strony fajny ruch, z drugiej pogłębi trwające w nieskończoność wojenki konsolowe.

Za grę odpowiada studio Cavia – twórcy m.in. Drakengard (PS2), Bullet Witch (360), Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles (Wii), Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex (Ps2) czyli przy odpowiednim wsparciu SE są w stanie wyprodukować bardzo dobry tytuł. Na co szczerze liczę. Chciałbym by ten projekt wypalił, animacja na trailerze jest tragiczna, ale screeny mają swój urok…

There is quite a bit of genre blending going on in third person action games these days. The trend is toward large open world games that try to do everything. Games that combine shooting and melee combat, RPG, and stealth elements, all in the same game, are becoming the norm. These innovations have produced some awesome games, but I also enjoy third person action games that are more linear and focus on melee combat (otherwise known as hack ‘n’ slash). Luckily there are a number of these due for release at the end of the year. Here is a list:

Bayonetta
From the maker of Devil May Cry and Okami, Bayonetta’s combat revolves around the use of combos delivered by both melee and long ranged attacks. Game play looks super fast and smooth.

Darksiders
Exploration and puzzles feature as much as combat in this one. Quite a cool art style, with big over sized badass characters.

Dante’s Inferno
Tame huge beasts and ride them to fight enemies. The tortured environments of hell are set to be the star of the show.

God of War 3
The God of War series reigns supreme in the hack ‘n’ slash genre and the level of hype for GOW3 is off the scale!

Nier
This is Square Enix’s crack at the genre. The competition is formidable, it will be interesting to see if they can measure up!?

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow
Patrick Stewart and Robert Carlyle’s voice acting alone should make this game worthwhile and Hideo Kojima’s involvement will mean it has amazing production values. It could be the best of the lot!?

The Last Guardian
There’s still a lot of mystery surrounding this one, but the pedigree of Team Ico is all that’s needed to create anticipation.

Worth a mention:

Brutal Legend
An open world hack ‘n’ slasher by Tim Schafer who has the dubious honour of making the highest rated game to sell the least number of copies (Psychonauts). Jack Black voices the main character and Ozzy Osbourne also features in this Heavy Metalfest.

Assassins Creed 2
Doesn’t really need any explanation and more an open world action adventure than hack ‘n’ slash? but I’m really looking forward to it.

Although all the games are looking like they will be extremely high quality, I won’t be able to get them all. At the moment my picks are Dante’s Inferno and Darksiders mainly because I’m attracted to the art styles of both the games. Dante’s is really gritty, dark, and twisted, and it looks like they’ve nailed the fire and brimstone atmosphere of hell perfectly. Darksiders is a lot more colourful and just looks like an epic apocalyptic world to explore. I’m sure GOW3 will be fantastic and will no doubt be a day one purchase when/if I get a PS3.

A Square Enix anunciou os  games que estarão na Alemanha para a GamesCom no próximo mês.

Door het plaatsen van advertenties in landelijke dagbladen is het Adrie de Graaf uit Putten gelukt een donornier te vinden. Dit meldt de nieuwswebsite nu.nl.

”We zijn nu in het ziekenhuis in Rotterdam om kennis te maken”, aldus Adrie. Hij wacht naar eigen zeggen al vijf jaar op een nier.

Om aandacht te vragen voor zijn probleem besloot hij met advertenties mensen op te roepen een nier beschikbaar te stellen. Maggy van Manen uit Drachten besloot te reageren.

”Ik zag hem in een televisie-uitzending en vond dat ik iets moest doen, aldus Maggy. Adrie had niet verwacht dat binnen zo’n korte tijd iemand zich zou melden. Eerder had hij contact met iemand die geld wilde voor zijn nier.

De Nederlandse Transplantatie Stichting meldde eerder dat het gebrek aan donoren een bekend probleem is. Het is uniek dat iemand om een donor vraagt in een advertentie en formeel is daar niets op tegen.

Wel vraagt de stichting zich af of dit de beste werkwijze is voor patiënt en donor. Een belangrijk voordeel van het bestaande systeem is dat een donor dat anoniem kan doen zonder direct een relatie aan te hoeven gaan met een patiënt.

Adrie is in ieder geval blij dat hij zijn advertentie heeft geplaatst.

Na aanleiding van het bovenstaande stukje ben ik gaan nadenken of het kan, een advertentie plaatsen waarin je vraagt om een nier. Ik denk het eigenlijk niet. Er is niets voor niet een systeem bedacht waar mensen dus op een wachtlijst moeten staan. Zit er een bekende in je familie of vriendenkring die dit wil doen, dan ligt het weer anders. Ik vind het eigenlijk niet kunnen dat je in een dagblad vraagt om een nier. Het is fijn voor Adrie dat hij nu geholpen is, maar er zijn nog zat andere mensen die nog steeds niet geholpen zijn. Wat misschien een goede oplossing is; een donor of transplantatie krant. Hierin kunnen alle mensen die op bijvoorbeeld een nier zitten te wachten hun oproep plaatsen en de mensen die ook daadwerkelijk een nier willen afstaan kunnen reageren.

Live from E3 2009!

This extended podcast includes our first week of “Summer of IX” footage, a roundup of the hottest E3 news, and our from-the-floor footage, recorded live: an interview with Shigeru Miyamoto!

Ah, E3. A breathtaking, life-changing experience, to say the least. Not a bad show this year either, with more than enough big-deal announcements to keep gamers such as myself in anticipation of what’s to come.

While Ethan is busy working rich-looking businessman, (again) how ’bouts I write up some brief, initial impressions on some of the newly-announced titles that caught my eye? This is just a taste of all the news that came from E3, but I figure it’s a good place to start.

Final Fantasy XIV

Looks fairly familiar.

Apparently, Square Enix’s online presence is more important to them then I, at least, figured it was. The announcement of a new Final Fantasy game is always cause for excitement, but Final Fantasy XIV is worthy of especial attention. Why? Like Final Fantasy XI before it, FFXIV will be an online-only title. Initial reports from Sony’s press conference pegged it as a PS3 exclusive, but Square Enix’s following conference stated that the game would hit PS3, PC, and perhaps even “Microsoft hardware.” Just to give a brief rundown of what’s known thus far, FFXIV is an entirely new game, set in an entirely new world. Squeenix’s intent with FFXIV is to take what they’ve learned from FFXI and use it to make FFXIV a better, more accessible experience. The launch trailer shows off some brief gameplay footage that features characters that look identical to Humes, Galka and Elvaan. Squeenix is insisting that they’re different races, however.

Will I play Final Fantasy XIV? Hmm. Clouded, the future of this title is. While Squeenix has stated they don’t want this to be a WoW clone, I can’t see it being anything other than an answer to WoW. Will their answer work? They’ve also stated that they are “trying to implement a lot of new systems that other MMOs have not used in the past,” so who knows? Maybe we’ll end up with something special. Or maybe we’ll end up with another grindy bore-fest with updated graphics and a fresh setting.

2010 Zelda Project
Okay, so apparently Nintendo really IS working on a new Legend of Zelda game for the Wii. In fact, Shigeru Miyamoto even showed off concept artwork for it, but since photography was strictly forbidden at the roundtable, you can’t see any of it. All I can tell you is that it features Link decked out in Twilight Princess form. Miyamoto claimed that he wanted to show off the new game at this year’s E3, but the team decided to focus on development instead.

It sounds like Nintendo really is trying to freshen things up with Link’s next Wii outing. I don’t really have any solid evidence to back that up yet, but it’s the vibe I received. Oh, and on a random LULZ note, Miyamoto stated that the game is incorporating so much Wii MotionPlus functionality that the game may require it. Gee, who saw that coming?

Metroid: Other M

Let's get physical...

Now this one looks like a strange beast. Nintendo is working with Tecmo’s Team Ninja (of Ninja Gaiden fame) to bring Wii owners an all-new, all-different Metroid experience. From what can be seen in the trailer, the result seems to be a mixture of first AND third-person shooter gameplay. Combat also seems to have a more visceral, physical side to it this time around, as the trailer showed Samus grappling, throwing, and vaulting over enemies. It’s Team Ninja alright; but will it make a convincing Metroid?

I’m unsure, frankly. Whether Nintendo wants to admit it or not, Metroid Prime defined the series upon its release in 2001. The masterful atmosphere, stunning presentation, and flawless transition of the Metroid mechanics into three dimensions made sure of that. But for whatever reason, every installment since then has moved further and further from what made the game work so well. Who knows, perhaps Other M will refresh the series in the way that the original Prime did… but I somehow doubt it.

NIER
In their latest attempt to appeal to the Western audience they so desparately want a (bigger) piece of, Square Enix is bringing us what appears to be a Devil May Cry ripoff. Okay, I realize I’m really quick to judge here, but that’s the impression I got. Supposedly, even the titual protagonist Nier has been designed to appeal to a western audience. As a result, Neir looks like the biggest musclebound toolbag protagonist in recent memory. Move over, Marcus Fenix.

Metal Gear Solid Rising
I’ve never played a Metal Gear game in my life, so I have practically nothing to say about this one. Why did I bring it up, you ask? Well, initially, people had the idea that MGSR would be an Xbox 360 exclusive. Konami soon confirmed that it would have a PS3 release as well, sparking Sony fanboy gloatings such as this one from lil_z_95:

helll yea losers mgs rising is multi platform in your face 360 inur face u son of a female doggy tats right they know we got them in check hell yea in ur face they know it needs to be on the ps3 because thats were its gonna sell we need only one disc for the game not like 3 dvds

Priceless.

Anyway, Ethan is back and he has chinese take-out. And ice cream. Check back tomorrow for some of his assorted thoughts.

A Square Enix acaba de liberar o primeiro trailer do seu jogo de ação com espadas, NIER. Parece bastante com God Of War. O trailer, com vários trechos em tempo real, é decente e sendo da Square podemos esperar ao menos uma boa narrativa cheia de ótimos vídeos em CG.

Sai em 2010 para Xbox 360 e Playstation 3.

CLIQUE AQUI PARA VER AS IMAGENS E O TRAILER.

The new Square Enix title, Nier, leaves me a little bewildered. The trailer gives the impression that Japan is trying to crowd in on the hack and slash adventure platform, but the whole project looks like a mashup of Final Fantasy VII and Marvel Comics THE END storylines.

In Nier, you are a bad ass with a mission to find a cure for your daughter who is dying of some strange disease. Now I’m sure it’s Final Fantasy VII: The End. Its like the Geostigma from FFVII: AC, came back and has wiped everyone out with a vengeance. Indeed the title character looks like an older, broken down Cloud Strife, now more grim than emo, as he gears up for one final ass kicking adventure (Now bloodier than ever) before finally returning to the mana stream where he’s been yearning to go all this time.

I don’t know how I feel about this game, really. I like almost everything Squeenix puts out, but I feel like they’re sorta selling out here by trying to cash in on the “Westernized” hack and slash gameplay. Most of the games that Square Enix puts out are epic works of art as far as the RPG genre goes. This game feels like they are trying to reinforce their relevance, but are too damn lazy to actually do anything innovative. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll probably play it, but it’ll be a rental, and definitely not a buy.

You can see the trailer below and check out the gamewebsite here.

D.S. Out.

The pinnacle of American technology.

The panel is prepared to preview the pending E3 production. Lesser-known favourites are discussed along with the news, and the Summer of IX feature is announced. Whether it’s Nier, Farcry, or Midway, this episode has it all!
